My Kies will not let me use Samsung Apps not matter the phone is connected or not. I try to reinstall and everything but to no avail.
Launch Kies and hit Samsung Apps button see if you can browse and download as usual and let me know if it works for you please.
Thank you in advance.
Wow.. this amazed me
anybody..? at all? sigh
Works fine for me without the phone connected. It's the first time I used it so I dont know if it is working as it should be, but it did let me download a free app.
Nothing in Kies Samsung Apps for the i9000 anyway. I keep getting a message stating that the phone isn't supported by Samsung Apps.

You are right, I had phone set to 'all'.
I was able to syn my Galaxy S with Kies now though I had the same problem initially....I just unmounted then remounted the internal SD and presto, it connected seamlessly....I already tried it on 2 machines so it should work fine with you as well......
Nope.. Not working on mine.. still getting phone not supported... Tried with the mrs sgs on her laptop and the same. :-(
Thank you guys

what Kies version do you have? and what OS are you running on your PC?
I have a few questions regarding Kies, Contacts, and USB mode to all the pro's out there -
I only get the following option when I connect the phone to the PC Settings --> USB Mode--> USB Mass Storage. Is this normal or should there be more options offered such as - Kies, PC Studio, Mass Storage? The Galaxy S (Captivate) offered a prompt as to which mode you wanted to connect the phone in whenever it was plugged in. I don't get any option like that. As soon as the device is plugged in (in idle mode) a window pops- up --> MTP Application - Connected (Press the home key to quit Samsung Kies)
Is there a specific way I need to connect the phone in to Kies? Kies displays only 2 options to me -
Add file to GT-I9100
Add folder to GT-I9100
I have tried 2 different computers, but its the same on both of them. I am using Kies version 2.0.1.11053_99 (which according to Kies is the latest version)
Display Options under Contacts shows only Phone and Google. it does not display SIM. I have already reset the phone once. Do I need to do something else? Since I am new to the forum, I am unable to add any screenshot links. But if someone can help me, I would gladly PM them the screenshots. Or you could look at photobucket for my album under nit407.
Thanks for your help.

Ok OP, in order for Kies to see the GSII you need to be on kies mode.
Make sure first this box is unchecked, go to: Settings=>Applications=>Development=>USB Debugging make sure this box is unchecked and then re connect your GSII into your USB cable and open Samsung Kies, it will recognize it immediately.
Good luck.
And make sure you're using the TWLauncher, not a 3rd party launcher.

You can not add contacts directly to the SIM card, neither can see them unless you have copied them to Phone memory/Google. But I have heard that the SIM option is now included in latest 2.3.4 firmware, but as I am yet to test it can't confirm.

Thanks dude. Any ideas on my other questions/problems? I am running everything stock including the launcher and the USB Debugging mode is "unchecked". Is there a specific version of Kies that needs to be used?

The import/export is working fine for me. The display options does not show the SIM as an available option. What do you see in yours under - Contacts ->Display Options->Selects Contacts to Display? Do you see SIM there?

My KIES doesn't work anymore ive asked the question a few times but no one seems to know why, ive done what you've said (Settings=>Applications=>Development=>USB Debugging), ive tried on 3 different browsers, a couple of different internet connections, turned off firewall,etc,etc but every time it just times out when i try and connect on my laptop, it has only ever worked once for me, im running cognition 1.15.
I don't find KIES a necessity but it would be nice if it worked (and to find out how to get it working!!)

I dont know if it is the rom problem or what,,,but many users with stock rom also had this problem,,,,just uninstall kies,,,then delete the remaining kies files(there are files left even after uninstallation in the kies folder),,then reinstall the latest kies,,,conecct ur phone to ur pc(usb debugging unchecked)it ll reinstall ur phone's drivers,,and all should be fine then.
there are many complaints of kies not working fine on laptops,,,but if u use a desktop it ll definitely work...
Hope that helps.

Thanks guitarmafia. I am trying this on my desktop now. Regarding firmware upgrade, when I click on "Check for Updates", I get a message "Connection to Server Failed". I am in the US with an unlocked S2 from India. Would that be the reason or just because Samsung hasn't release the new version officially yet. Any idea?

When you guys are connecting to Kies, do you chose from an option as to how you want the phone to connect?

Hi there. This is my first reply to a problem. I think i have it figured out.
Check this:
Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development:
On this screen make sure USB debugging is unchecked.
When you plug the phone into your computer, then a dialog should pop up on your phone asking you to enable USB storage mode. Tap "Turn on USB storage".
It may ask you to confirm. Tap "OK".
Good luck. I hope that helps you.

It's very much difficult than that. Well the only way to restore your usb problem is going back to stock and after that you only can install a 2.2 custom rom, after you switch to 2.3 your problem will appear again! If you go to "device manager" on windows when U use 2.2, U see that the phone is corrected installed, but when u connect with 2.3 rom, the device it's not corrected installed and therefore only mounted as CD-ROM... I know that, 'cause I have the same problem and tried all this options. I installed usb drivers that huaei give us on their site, but the problem persists. I tried with both CWM recoveries and both work good on 2.2, stock or custom, but not on 2.3....
Last but not least, go check your imei on system, almost sure U got a 0 on that too, as me. So this is some problem with 2.3 roms that "f*cked up" our phone. Altough usb problem is reversible when installed stock rom, the problem with the imei persists after a stock rom install...
Hope it help some people somehow!
(sorry for bad bad english)
Try uninstalling device drivers, then reinsert the phone and let it install.
What do you see on the CD rom? The sdcard contents?
Hello if you are with cm7, go to definitions - about phone and project menu. Testes other options for usb.

Did U check your IMEI? Please confirm that, 'cause If U have IMEI=0 and usb problem as me or other guy I know, maybe the problems are related to each other, and forget easy options, i tried almost everything, almost sure that when install 2.3 roms. it changes some values and the phone goes nuts, 'cause if you use 2.2 it works correctly as a normal usb device!
Snake_boss, same here...

Dear all,
I've bought my A500 in France in June 2011, and update to ICS 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW.GEN1) a few months ago without any backup (yes, I'm stupid - very stupid).
Anyway, I'd like to downgrade to previous ROM but I don't know which it was. Can anybody help ?
- it was a Honneycomb stock ROM (no root neither update)
- the USB Mass storage was working
- no PC sync asked when pluging to a PC
- there was a switch to (de)activate wifi from the taskbar quick menu, ie no need to go to the parameters (HC 3.2 and ICS 4.03 haven't)
I tried HC 3.0.1 and 3.2 but they aren't.
TIA.
Not that it helps identify the exact ROM, but there is a list of stock ROMs located at...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560
The list should help narrow it down.

Do you think it can be for example a specific 3.0.1 rom ? The one I've tested is included in blackthund3r's A500_1.016.05 EUU APX bundle.

Not familiar with forums, quotes are pretty unknown
Anyway :
- List of HC stock ROMs : tried EUU 3.0.1 (which kindly updates my 32 Gb memory to 128 Mb), and Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1 (3.2 full package), but not OK
- when I plug my A500 to a PC, the MTP is identified instead of UMS :crying: You're saying that it should be UMS with any HC ?
- Acer Sync : yes, a popup on the A500. But I don't remember correctly, maybe I used to have this popup ...
- sure there was a switch for wifi. With ICS you have the same kind of switch ("quick controls") for aircraft mode but no more for wifi : you have to click on wifi and then moved to the parameters page.
- List of France / UK / Italy stock roms => so mine should be in the list.
In fact, the main goal of retreiving my old rom is to get the UMS back :crying:

Sorry I understand what you meant by Mass Storage now... My tablet from stock HC has always been MTP. Haven't had much of an issue with it, can I ask why you want UMS so badly?
I do not use acer sync, but was making sure that you were not referring to the windows generic popup asking what you want to do..
Yes it takes you to parameter page... the quick toggles I have seen on someone's phone, but I do not think I have seen on any of the Acer A50X stock ROMS. There may be a tweek / mod or app that may add them for you.
Yes I gathered that GEN1 would be fine in your case. But I didn't know what the "GEN" meant till I went looking...
As far as MTP vs UMS... I did read a thread a while back about + / - of each and what Google was leaning towards if you are interested and have not seen it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364738&page=2

Tank you again for the help, I appreciate :highfive:
I prefer UMS rather than MTP because UMS is standard on XP; you have to install WMP 11 for MTP drivers (I don't like WMP). With UMS you can use any software for transfer but with MTP you can't. I think MTP is much slower than UMS
Sure with UMS the target disk is locked until unplugged, but I don't care.
this used to work just fine for me now i get on my phone when i start/restart widget can't load and for some reason i feel is connected to me not being able to transfer files from computer to the phone or the other way around .. Please help me on fixing this
Thank you! <3
ps i have another phone where file transfer works just fine
i guess its worth mentioning that this started after a software update, and right after that they released another one hopping they will fix it but NO :crying:
I was in your situation. I fixed that by install dex on my pc. I don't know if it will help but I think it's worth a try.
