Using latest version of kies with 2.1(still no update for me yet).Phone connects to kies OK,kies can access all photo's,videos and sound files no prob on phone and copy them to pc.Can also access phone through explorer in kies but soon as try to backup or view contacts or sms shows message 'connect phone with usb cable' or 'phone in use' or similar.
Tried loads different things none of which helped and finally uninstalled my newly installed OCLF which solved it.
Anyone else had this prob and got a better fix?
I have the same thing. Always the phone is in use or something like this. I have it rooted and OCLF. I thought it is like this because of rhe root or the lag fix. I still have the problem.

backup all your media/pictures off the device via external mount mode then delete them, kies will now connect. Its because elcair has bug with media files with more then 16 letters, Froyo fixed it.
elena11 try removing your lagfix-solved it for me but as I dont know why..
ickyboo-wasnt a problem with connection.It did that ok with all the media files.Just wouldnt connect when trying to backup contacts or sms. All worked OK soon as removed OCLF. Was hoping someone knew which bit to twiddle so as could have OCLF AND a kies that worked properly. Have had no problems with Kies up until this.

Hi guys, I am just about to throw my phone and my computer across the room! lol.
I have been trying for a week to get Kies working on my laptop (Win XP 32 bit)
I am getting the usual MTP driver errors. I have tried everything i have found after hundreds of google searches. I have formatted my internal SD, installed drivers, uninstalled kies and drivers and reinstalled. still nothing!
I need to update my firmware as I am using JF3 and i keep getting the SMS sending/recieving issues. I have been told that JF4 will fix (Optus Australia). I need to update in a way that will not viod my warranty. I want the official Optus latest firmware.
What are my options? I am sick of my phone being useless all the time not sending/recieving sms, not recieving calls, until i reset the phone.
thanks in advance!
Use a 3rd party messaging app, like ChompSMS.
Hey guys,
i flashed my cappy from cog to the froyo but data and voice didnt seem to work, flashed back to stock then did a master clear and reflashed to froyo and same issue no data or voice, it shows the airplane mode although the setting says its off...
any suggestions?
EDIT: com.android.phone seems to be the problem, i cant access it using the *#... etc method...
how can i fix this?
I would try doing a master clear, then one-clicking. Also, some others said that simply rebooting may help. Also, is applicable, dont restore "system apps and data" from titanium backup, only "missing apps plus data" hope this helps
nope didnt work, i didnt even restore anything yet, its just weird because everything works flawless except voice and data....any help is appreciated
Settings
Wireless and Network
Mobile Networks
Access Point Names (is it empty? is there an entry but it doesnt have a green dot next to it?)
Menu button
Reset to Default
OR
if default does not work, try adding a NEW APN. you will find settings around the forums for APN
Go to settings and do a reset to factory in there. That fixes a similar error for me.

1.) Master Clear with current ROM
2.) Flash to stock JF6 using ODIN
3.) UPDATE TO JH7 using KIES MINI (I think this may fix the airplane mode issue)
4.) Flash to Froyo using ODIN'
This is exactly what I would do, let me know how it works for you buddy!
nope, i cant even access mobile networks it gives me an error "check simcard if its inserted" but it is, and when i flash back to jm or jh it works fine...

So only the update to JI6 (Froyo) causes the issue?
Maybe the link you downloaded from was corrupt? There was about 20 links last night haha.
yea only the ji6, cant be corrupt because i downloaded the orginal (was one of the first to download it) and a mirrored one.... still something fishy, be in mind i did have cog with voodoo and i never disabled it the lag fix... but im guessing the whole rom wouldnt work if that was the issue correct?
VooDoo would have been cleared when you did Master Clear, I believe.
Maybe try the Kies Mini update to JH7 and THEN flash the Froyo.

just do a simple re-boot......it looses the baseband after froyo update...a simple re-boot gets the baseband back.....try it!

..If this fixes it I will be shocked haha.
That's the FIRST thing I do if I run into any problems on android
im trying the kies jh7 then flash method, but i did reboot several times and baseband never came back....should it be unplugged to pc or plugged?
Let me know how the Kies JH7 and then Flash method works for you; I think it SHOULD work because I was on stock JH7 when I flashed to Froyo JI6 and I have had nothing but a great experience since!
sorry guys neither method worked, im guessing its a simple stupid fix...... its getting frustrating ...........
I was reading other posts where guys were having that issue with phones that were not on att network. This seems to lock you onto att and no other network will work. At least that was the opinion of the other posts.
FOUND THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SOLVE IT !!!!
com.android.phone ---> is corrupted, i tried going into it and it doesnt let me giving me a FC..
any one got an dea how to resolve it?
Start from scratch my friend:
1.) Re-Flash Stock ODIN JF6 and then update to JH7 using Kies Mini
2.) REDOWNLOAD Froyo JI6 using the same link I did:
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe
3.) Before Flashing JI6 please do a master clear, factory data reset and FORMAT all your SD cards
Then that should solve any problems you have buddy!
just so i know im doing it right... can you tell me how to do a master clear please !!
To do a master clear, enable usb debugging on your captivate, go to the homescreen, open odin, plug in your device. Once it is recognized press master clear from the homescreen. It will clear it and reboot your device

Hi,
I've installed the lates Kies (1.5.3.10093_80) and have three problems:
1) When i try to update Kies to 81 release it doesn't want to find any updates. I tried two ways: from Kies application and manually start MCS.Thunder.Update.exe. From Kies it never finds any updates and MCS.Thunder.Update.exe crashes after some time before it find anything to update
2) Phone connects to the PC fine and i can see it in Kies, but i can't do anything, browse contacts or calendar. When i try to save contacts on PC i receive "The device is in use. Stop using the device then try again". I tried to find any application on PC which can use it without any success.
3) On home notebook Kies finds phone OK but at work it is endlessly says: Connecting to the phone. I've already tried to change COM port number, settings for USB connection ... nothing helps.
Any ideas?
PS All device drivers seems to be installed OK
I have exactly the same problem as you mentioned under point 2. Same holds for the agenda by the way.
I just updated to 93-81 (automatically via KIES)
Does anyone have a solution?
Me too having this problem...
Same issues for me. I've just discovered Android Manager Wifi which gives all we need to save and restore contacts. Nice to use until Kies issues are resolved.
All of these issues are well known and almost everyone is having them. There was a standalone massive thread about Samsung Kies and its issues, but I can't find it. You need to get used to it - usually im my case the Mass Storage is activated after restarting my phone. As I use tethering rather often, I usually have to try connecting and disconnecting the phone several times until I'm lucky.
When it comes to Kies update itself, that is another disaster - I usually try it on different networks - if it can't find updates at home and I know there is one, I just go and try it at the university wifi. The same with firmware updates, etc.
I undo the oneclick lag fix v 2.1.2 by ryanza and it works like a charm now
thnak you very much nick_goh!
Thats was it. Undo OCLF and Kies starts working as it should.
Lagfix is the problem
Yes, the lagfix is the problem, but who can fix the lag fix or the kies!?
laffix
What if you are experiencing that same "Device is in use" issue but did NOT ever install the lagfix ?
Unless theres something that went on in rooting your phone as that is the only non-factory thing that I ever did!
I already installed several apps to try to find the culprit that might be causing this but no luck. I'm almost considering going back to factory and re-installing all samsung updates from scratch on. ....unless there is another way
Hi Everyone!
I need a bit of help here.
My samsung galaxy s running froyo ( Baseband version - I90000XXJPP; Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root (at) sep-35 # 1; Build - FROYO.XXJPO ) and I've been trying to connect it to kies, so I can keep up with the official updates. However, I've been trying for a week now and nothing. I get message saying connected to kies on the phone but on kies itself it gets stuck on "connecting" .
I'm at a loss on what to do here. Can anyone help?
Also, I was hoping to find out if, from the above info on my phone) can you tell that my phone has been rooted at some point???
Thanks in advance to everyone, looking forward to reading all your replies!
hello,
I have found that with every update to Kies, before I can get my phone to connect, I have to first set my phone to USB Mass Storage, connect to PC and wait for Kies to tell me to change phone settings to Samsung Kies, at which time I disconnect phone from PC (disconnect properly by ejecting from the system tray to prevent corruption of SDcard), change settings on phone to connect using Samsung Kies, then reconnect phone to PC with Kies running....works every time for me.
Its a bit of a pain, but its been the only way that I can consistently get it to connect to Kies...hope it helps for u!

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried it and it's a no go! Still stuck on "connecting"
Hi, what worked for me is that i had to unmount both my internal sd and external sd, that was the only way i could get it to connect, but in doing that you cant actually use kies for anything other than updating firmware as i said it worked for me but it may not work for all i dont know.
Good luck

it's hard to figure out the solutions as I've encountered this prob b4 also...after numerous times trying to install various Samsung USB drivers and Kies versions, I managed to get it connected to Kies and upgrade it to Froyo, but it ends up with my SGS bricked...so then, I flash with Odin with 2.2.1 android version and after many failures to get connected with my comp, I managed to get I9000XXJPU into my SGS...my advice, just try your luck connecting your SGS with your comp...check the problems occurred when the comp trying to install your SGS and install the missing drivers...
Hi there I'm having problem updating from JPO Froyo to the recently released Ginberbread JVO.
I've reinstalled Samsung Kies and the Samsung USB drivers but I'm still getting this error everytime I try and upgrade. The phone itself is unlocked.

hxxp://imageshack.us/m/17/6568/androiderror.jpg
I've never rooted the device or installed any custom ROM. I only upgrade via Kies.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like kies itself is misbehaving. Try uninstalling kies and then reinstall it to see if that solves your problem
I already did that and i'm still getting errors when I try to upgrade.
Is it being blocked by your firewall?
My firewall is turned off.
hmmm that's strange, it should be working normally in that case.
OS shouldn't be an issue, im assuming you have plenty of free ram, and that you're not running anything else you don't need to be running in the background.
Maybe try giving samsung a call and see what they say? I know kies is very tempramental from my experiences with it in the past. That's why I started flashing custom roms lol, to get away from kies.
