dear al,
after upgrading to FRF83, my N1's browser fails to open webpages with built-in browser and the dolphine HD. i am sure the network is on because i can open watch youtube and browse the Android market and get app updated. nevertheless, the browsers do not function. Mine is non-rooted one. Friends tell me I may try to downgrade to 2.1. Nevertheless, my problem is after connecting it to PC with USB cable, it can charge but the PC does not detect a device plugged-in though I installed SDK and USB drivers already. any help is highly appreciated. thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S on the O2 network in the UK.
Before registering here I have tried my best to sort this myself but I really do need some expert advice now. Please!!
I have tried and tried to update the KIES software but no matter what my PC will not connect to the phone it just says 'connecting' and hangs on that
I've tried on an XP machine and a Windows 7 machine and neither work
I'm currently on software 2.1 and would like to update to 2.2
Are there known problems with connecting the phone to a PC?
I've even tried connecting it so the PC would just view it as an external hard drive but again it doesn't connect and the PC does not recognise the phone.
I can't transfer any music or videos to the phone at the moment obviously and that's what I'm hoping to achieve with some kind help off here. I'd also like flash player which I believe is part of the 2.2 update?
Thanks in advance

Hi.
Firstly... this is a very well known issue with the kies software.
There are countless threads here about this issue with possible fixes for the problem.
I recommend that u search the forum for your solution and do some reading and you will find your answers.
Good luck...

Simple take the phone to an O2 service centre that way its still in warranty .

Hi
I take it you have an external micro sd card in the phone? Mine wont connect without.
If you do, you should check whether the drivers are ok by connecting via USB. Goto settings, "Wireless and Network", select usb settings and click "ask on connection". Reconnect the usb and the phone should ask you what connection you want, click mass storage.
If that fails, probably a driver issue. Uninstall Kies and samsung drivers and reinstall the latest version of Kies (google Kies)
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll do what was advised and report back
I'm assuming once this phone is updated it's a dream to use!
Cheers
I personally find it's a dream to use if you're using the modded roms..
That does kinda void your warranty though
Just a few tips which entered my mind:
- older versions of Kies do not connect if you changed the launcher on your phone from touchwiz to something else (i.e. Launcherpro or Zeam)
- it's strange it doesn't even connect in storage mode. How are your usb settings (Settings, Wireless & Networks, USB Settings), is it set to Kies or "Ask". When set to Ask or Storage Mode, you still should pull down the notification bar when connecting to make a choice.
- does the pc bleep to indicate it at least senses a device attached? Have you tried different USB ports?
Hi everybody, my problem is simple and dumb... i bought a Gtab 8.9 for Christmas, it's working fine and i'm very satisfied, but i'm stuck with the default firmware, honeycomb 3.1, and sometimes it kinda freezes, and i wanted to try a newer, 3.2 or maybe ICS firmware... and before flashing some mod i would like to see if there's any available from kies... well, it's been more than a month and i can't seem to be able to properly connect it to my pc/laptop with kies and the usb cable... i tried re-installing several times kies, did the connection error/unplug/uninstall drivers/reinstall driver stuff countless times on both desktop and laptop, but kies always ends up saying "device error-unplug" or "device error-reboot"... kies wireless works fine but i can't search for new firmwares, the cable works fine and i can charge and/or transfer files in a breeze... i looked for some usb settings on the tab but found nothing... what am i missing? every time i plug the tab it goes straight on autoplay, and kies won't recognize it... if i turn it off and plug it kies doesn't find it either, nothing changes.... can anyone help?

I don't remember too well, but have you checked the USB settings at the (I think) Applications section at Settings? Anyways, Kies...well, I don't expect too much from it reliability-wise. Sometimes it bricks tabs when updating (already happened in this forum). If it still doesn't work, hey, see it as a good sign. Something preventing you dealing with that thing!
Good evening guys.
I'm trying to connect the Tab with pc via USB with Side Sync, and it doesn't work. The app is the latest version, 3.0 both on pc and tab. I'm running Windows 7 , USB debugging is enabled on Tab I also tried without, all drivers are installed on pc. I even changed the MTP connection of the USB. The computer reads the Tab, SideSync doesn't. I also tried switching off WiFi on Tab, but when I run the app, it automatically reopens and connects wirelessly, I don't know if that is relative.
Any ideas? Anyone else faced the same problem?
Thank you.
i think sidesync only works from phones, so a tablet can only connect to a phone but cant be a client...
but there was an app on the front page recently which promised sidesync like functionality:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/weak-control-review-xdatv/
I tried searching the forum and found no comments on sidesync so here is my problem:
What I am using:
Sidesync 4.0 installed on a windows 7 x64 PC
Galaxy Note 5 (Verizon) running 5.1.1 (Stock of course :/ )
SideSync 4.0.9.9 App on the phone from samsung store
I was able to successfully connect to my home PC over WiFi network so I know the phone software will do it.
When I try to connect wirelessly at work I can't use WiFi because the desktop PC is wired and the phone is wireless. I understand this and that is not the issue.
I am connected the phone via USB directly to the computers USB port and SideSync is not finding it. I log on to my PC with an unprivileged account so when I launch sidesync it wants admin credentials which I provide. Once launched it will not find the phone.
Anyone have any thoughts?
When I connected mine for the first time this morning it had to install a driver before I plugged in the phone. Did it prompt you to unplug and install the driver? Seems to work great but if I bring up the phone screen on the PC it cuts out my headphone audio that I am listening to through the phone, not sure if it is trying to play through my PC I'll have to play around with it.

I had this issue when I got my S8 so I reinstalled the drivers and it started working again, Yay
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\SideSync4\USB Driver"
Couldn’t find anything like it so I decided to make a post
I am having problems with my p10’s tethering function for curtain reasons I have to use my phone’s internet to play games in my school’s dorm. The thing is I had no problems with my Samsung s7 but doing the same with my p10 makes my pc super slow and it takes ages for my pc to figure out that the phone is sharing it's internet oh and I forgot I’m doing it over USB bc my desktop has no WiFi card installed. Anyone have similar experiences i have tried all I could think about from reinstalling drivers , deleting Samsung usb driver to reinstalling OS just to be sure no other phone drivers where on there even switch usb cables ?

Just wanted to verify something, you used Samsung USB drivers to tether from your P10 ?
