For the last 24 hours I am the happy owner of the new SGT 10.1. No light bledd no nothing. It works well. Although I miss some of the features of Froyo. I had difficulty in playing my flac files first. Anyway I first connected it via Kies and it downloaded drivers and then I realized that I had no contacts on that PC to sync. I wanted to sync my contacts and notes and calendar with outlook, so I connected my SGT 7 inch. Interestingly it was not recognized. I had to install USB drivers. I synced with the PC. I then reconnected the new TAB. It couldnt sync at first, and I dont know how all my contacts were there.... But I dont know what has happened whenever I connect SGT 10.1 Kies says this device cannot be updated and there are no menu items related to sync or backup or anything similar. I made a system restore on my PC and nothing changed. There should be something with the SGT. Any ideas?

Hello
Bought XDA mini s from 02 yesterday. Installed the softrware that came with the mini s.
Active sync installed, plug the usb cable to laptop and to phone and nothing happens. Laptop showing the device is installed and detected but no connection made to the active sync. The active sync icon just keeps on spinning and nothing happens.
So, uninstall and reinstall active sync (a number of times) and doesnt work. Installed the new version 4.1 from microsoft website (link provided on one of the thread here) and that didnt work either.
Getting really frustrated as I have tried everything, reboot laptop, pluggin usb cable to different usb ports on the laptop, switching phone off and on, etc.
Please help.
Andy

Thanks a lot for the link, will take a look later.
First read is that it may be affected by my trendmicro software.
Will post how i get on later.

Finally, after updating my virus software to allow active sync going through its 'path' the thing finally works. Thanks Carmi!
2 question:
1. after sync'd with phone, it has become very slow and crashes all the time i change program or something. why?
2. i have over 200 contacts on outlook, they dont seem to have sync'd over to the phone. any idea why. I only have whats on my sim card?
Thanks
Andy
did you mark to sync contact (on the PC)?
if yes - add a contact on the device - after Sync check if Outlook (on PC) have it?
You done it again, Carmi. It is working well now.
Cheers
Andy
I glad to hear that
Hi I have an Orange branded Jade. When you plug the phone into a PC you get the quesion about Active sync, File transfer or ICS. Well after plugging into my work PC running XP(No active sync installed) the phone will no longer stop using ICS on either my work PC or my laptop running Vista. This is blocking active sync and the usb drive feature. I have done the following:
1. unticked the Ask me check box on usb to pc, then soft reset and reselected it.
2. Deleted Active sync profiles on phone and PC.
3. Tried it on another PC.
Step 3 has worked allowing me to sync my contacts back to the phone. However when I plug it back into my Laptop same problem. All I want is my three choices back without doing a hard reset.... Help!!!
Hi
this morning my omnia 7 stopped connecting to zune and win 7 (x64) started complaining about missing driver, it prompted me to download the usb phone drive from samsung website.
Now my phone had worked fine yesterday morning when i last synced it with zune and i didn't do anything except connecting it to my car cd player via usb to listen to music.
I tried everything (for 3 hours) i know about fixing driver problems but nothing worked so as last option i reset the phone to default settings.
Then connected it to zune and it worked but i have lost my 30 min of bonfire night videos but learnt my lesson (hard way) to put everything on sky drive as soon as i can. My email, contacts, calendar etc are already on windows live so no big deal there.
I have seen a thread somewhere that someone is also having same problem but cann't for life of me remember where.
Just thought i share this in case it might save some poor soul time (not local contents on the phone).
regards
just got mine today and win 7 64bit does not install a driver or find one for it.

same here. can't find a solution for the driver (win7 can't find the driver) so cannot sync.
EDIT - drivers seemed to install, still can't detect device. solutions? tried a lot of things with no avail.
EDIT - FIXED! Whew. I didn't think it could be a solution, but I tried the Tethering code to see if my phone was Zune synced, it wasn't. Out of the box, it was set for USB, I don't know why. Once I config. to Zune, restarted and now works fine.
I've been looking all around on forums and google, and it seems like alot of ppl are having this problem, but I couldn't find the solution.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to sync my Samsung Focus (Rogers) to my 32 Bit Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 laptop. At first I thought I was supposed to use Zune, but the guy on the technical support line said I had to use Kies. Neither program could detect my Focus when I plugged it in. I got confirmations sounds from BOTH the phone and the PC, but nothing from either program. I use the same USB port for my iPod, so thats not the problem. And Ive tried uninstallations, reinstallations, rebooting the phone, resetting to factory settings, and Im using the same cord that came with the phone.
PLEASE, someone, please tell me how to fix this. Im ready to throw both my laptop and cell out the window.
Thanks,
Ross
Hi Ross. You suppose to use Zune only (I don't know what a tech. support guy is talking about). Do the following:
- download and install latest Zune;
- get a 100% working USB<->micro-USB cable (it's important);
- connect Focus to PC, drivers should install automatically, Zune will start and ask you to do same simple steps.
You'll need a valid LiveID (create one on the PC) and (optional) you may initialize additional services like Microsoft LiveDrive or Facebook.
Kies is the Samsung PC sync app/firmware update app for Samsung's Android phones like Captivate. Not for WP7 phones.
All WP7 phones use Zune to sync, but only for media (song and video) and firmware updates, nothing else. You can't sync your Outlook directly to your phone. Nor can you sync any files directly to your phone.
I see a download for smart phones on there website but nothing for tablets. Is the smartphone and tablet download the same ?

Ok, I downloaded Acer Sync and the USB driver. I setup the acer sync and the usb driver and nothing happens. Acer sync finds my external hard driver with no problem but cant detect the tablet. Would this be a problem with windows 7 ?
I having the same problem too. USB driver reinstall, and Acer sync cannot detect anything..

You need to run the Acer Sync application ON your tablet.
Ya I did, when i plug in the USB cable. Appear a icon on the left lower corner.
"Acer Sync
Do you want to turn on USB sync so you can sync data?"
I pressed yes but the device is not detectable by pc acer sync.
You have to go into the tablet options and make it dectectable.
Now I tried to use wifi to connect. Acer sync able to detect the device now A500. But so sad USB still cannot.
Well, I have the same problem here. The tablet can only be found over Wifi.
The more weird thing is I cannot sync over Wifi. The PC side Acer Sync always prompts me "please reinstall Acer Sync", even when I tried to sync with Google account.
After several uninstall and reinstall, I decided to go to Acer Support. First, they told me to reset my tablet. After I pointed out the software screwed on my PC, they began to ask me if my PC is Acer and what the serial number is.
So I assume Acer support is not reliable. And I'm still waiting for some solution from nowhere.

On your tablet you have to go into the the settings when your in the acer screen. Click the upper right hand corner and it will prompt you for settings, network settings, and about. Touch settings and check off auto enable USB Sync and Wifi sync and you then should be able to sync to your computer using acer sync on your PC.
Sync just doesn't work at all on one Win 7 machine and works fine on another.
