[Q] sync with Outlook via USB on offline PC - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I want to sync with Outlook Calendar (only) on Work Pc which has no direct internet connection and has several restrictions, such as, blocking USB devices which appear as memory drive or modems.
I was not able to install Samsung Kies because of lack of internet connection which is required for normal installation. I understand that there are several apps which cost about 20-30$. And there is Android-sync that I tried but it is in pre-alpha stage and because of that, it messed my contacts.
I'm looking for free solution of this problem. Does anyone has samething to offer me? Or is there anyway to install Kies without internet connection?
Any help will be most appreciated.
BRG,
Crayzee

Look at the Kies 2 thread. If you are allowed then download it and install or have it installed on your work computer. It will do what you require.

Check out MyPhoneExplorer. Beats Kies easily in Outlook sync.

First of all, thanks for your replies.
I checked both of the apps: surprisingly for me, myphonexlorer worked with android and worked very well. The only downside (so far) is that it took several times until the calendar was synced perfectly.
From other side, kies 2 still requires internet connection

[Q] Facebook contact syncing

I bought this phone last week, and everything synced fine. But now I'm getting a facebook sync error just for contacts saying "it will be back shortly"...
Any way to fix this or may it be just server related?
Edit: ok, I've tried removing and re-adding the facebook account and nothing. But it works with another facebook account.
Edit2: I even tried reseting the phone via Privacy and still the same sync error... Ideas?
I get that when I'm on wifi. When I switch back to data I'm fine

I get it on 3G and WiFi
Thanks for answering though!
Orktu Sync Issue
Hi, everybody, my SGS has the same problem, but only related to the Orkut sync (Orkut is a social network from google, very popular in Brazil). I tried several ways to solve this problem, like wipe the phone and upgrade the rom with Odin (with re-partition e bootloader reinstall, using several roms, froyo and eclair) and nothing worked until I use a new orkut(google) account, and it worked, but now, suddenly (in fact, after I tried to root with z4root, but I instaled a new rom already, with re-partition) stops to sync, and the same message is displayed.
What am I suposed to do?

[Q] Am I missing something by not using Kies?

I got the wifi Tab earlier this month. I initially tried to set it up to sync with Kies, couldn't get it to work and gave up trying to fix the error I got. I honestly spent all of about 5 minutes trying to fix it before giving up and uninstalling the program. I've been syncing media wirelessly ever since. Are there features of Kies that I'm missing out on though? Should I spend the time trying to figure out why it won't sync with my Tab or is it not even worth my time? What does Kies offer exactly? I couldn't get the program to work so I honestly don't know.
Apart from synchronizing data with your phone (which I don't do since I'm already using other applications for that purpose), the one main reason to use Kies is to receive all the latest official Samsung-ROMs upon release and being able to have your tab serviced for free should flashing fail.
So in my opinion you are not missing anything (someone here once wrote that you're not really using your phone unless you have voided the warranty).
The only reason I still have Kies installes is that the drivers installed with Kies are required for flashing with Odin.
So much for my opinion. Maybe someone else will tell you differently.
Contacts and calendar are already being synced with Gmail. Music is synced wirelessly via Doubletwist. Files are transferred wirelessly via Awesome Drop. What other stuff could I possibly need to sync?

Probably nothing. Apps and SMS are backed up, not synced. Besides Kies doesn't do it anyway.
I just fired up Kies to see what is synced:
1) Contacts (with Outlook)
2) Calendar (with Outlook)
3) Memos (with Outlook)
4) Music
5) Pictures (automatic resolution may be optimized for phone)
6) Videos (automatic conversion to supported formats possible)
7) Podcasts
You may also import/export these.
Since you have all these covered already, you really miss nothing by not using Kies.
The last remaining reason for using Kies and not just keeping it installed is being able to officially flash your phone with new firmware without forfeiting the warranty. If you would like to flash any custom ROM you want, then there really is no reason to use Kies.
Otherwise you may want to see whether you can make it run.
In any case you will need Kies for flashing with Odin, so you may want to reinstall it, if you are planning to flash new ROMs.

[Q] Kies problems

I have just got a new PC windows 7 64 bit
Now i got kies to work no problems until it said there was a update i set it off it then came back with a error message as it was trying to connect to samsung
I have Kies as a exception on my firewall i have the same version as what was on my old PC which did the update for me but i want to get the new Pc working any thoughts
Kies struggles with many non-XP rigs. (And that's not even perfect)
If you can, learn the basics of using Odin. You get firmwares much faster, and its more computer/phone friendly.
Kies has issues with so many different setups. You can have up to date drivers with the firewall off, and it still just sits there.
The bottom line, it's not you...

[Q] Kies via WiFi

I cant seem to get mine to work, I run the kies via wifi on the Gnote after I have kies running on the PC, my note does not list my PC under detected devices. I've tried to disable the windows firewall and turned off my Nod32. Any other things worth trying?
Im using XXKK9 if it matters, rooted with chainfire's KK9
sounds like youre doing it wrong so i'll list it from the start.
on your phone, first connect to the same wifi router as your PC (your pc can be connected to the router wirelessly or via network cable).
then run kies air on your note. hit the start button.
the note will then give you an address to type into your pc's address bar. normally this is similar to the gateway your modem is on. generally its http://192.168.1.*:port number/ i think port number may default to 8080 or something.
then once you log into the page on your website, you'll get a prompt on your note asking you about an access request, and whether or not you wish to allow access from the pc accessing the website. just tap allow.
and viola, access your note via wifi.
I don't connect with Kies on PC. Open webrowser and type in Adress, showing on phone. Or click Help on Phones Kies air and follow steps there.

I can get Kies AIR to work w/o any issues at all, FYI. Kies AIR and Kies WiFi are two different things.
This is Kies wifi

Hey EarlZ
Only just come accross this post and not by pc so not sure if this is going to help as its purely from memory from setting up a friends SGS2...
If i remember correctly, there's a setting in Kies 2 on PC you need to enable labelled "use kies over wifi". I noticed that wasnt mentioned in the YouTube video posted. Hopefully this helps, but perhaps they haven't extended this service for the Note, but it would be odd if they've done that!
But yes, i have used this method and is much more reliable and more options than Kies Air.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I cant seem to find that option under kies.
Yeah, sorry EarlZ
On looking at the pc, can see that option is not available. Tye next time i'm at my mates i'll check version numbers, but it does appear its no longer available.

Hi EarlZ
Finally managed to find it... if you go into Settings/Wireless and Network/Kies via Wi-Fi on your Note and enable it.
You need to enable that and then when you're on the same network as your pc, Kies will ask if you want to connect with your device.
Hope this helps
Good and bad news.
Good news are:
Just updated KIES to new version 2.1.1 and KIES wifi do works now. Theres a instruction too on new KIES how to enable KIES wifi.
Bad news are:
Connect to KIES with USB cable dont work for me now. Reinstalled drivers for 3 times, same ****.
Why do Samsung even bother to release such crappy **** like KIES.
@DT33
Have you disabled "use kies wifi" on your handset when trying to reconnect via usb?

Yeah the latest update now allows the note to connect.

Saving SMS/contacts from long-dead phone.

Hi,
So i found Sony Ericsson Arc (LT15a) running ice cream sandwich 4.0.4. Which surprisingly still worked.
Poking around i see i had deleted most of the apps, but the app i had used to save my texts was gone. It took a while, but it eventually connected to my local wifi. This is where the problems started
First, it doesn't recognise my google password for that account. actually, it's more complicated than that, it recognised it once and sent a text to my current phone asking if that was me, once i confirmed it. It asked me to log in again and ever since says my password is wrong. So i can't sync nor download anything through the play store or my account
I dug around online and found a syncing program that would install via the USB cable. unfortunately, it seems like the program was bigger than the 60mb i had free. so i have a half-downloaded program that i can't find and delete. i've cleared many caches via the apps menu, but phone storage seems to be almost full despite the fact i've deleted the majority of apps i downloaded.
I then tried the Xperia companion, hoping for something. i tried a software repair which again, only made things worse. i now randomly experience "android is updating" but it doesn't seem to change anything.
The one that really stumps me is i can't view the file directory through my pc. This makes me wonder if the apk it tried to install never worked anyway and that the phone has been trying to download something once it connected to my wifi. The light plugged in is orange, meaning it's only charging. At one point the phone was recognised by the computer but putzing around seems to have screwed that.
i'm literally only trying to pull the text messages off this thing. i can't believe i've tried to jump through so many hoops. Many links i found were dead and I'm kind of stuck Any help would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime I'm trying to find an older laptop I had that may still have the old companion software installed

I'm unable to download, since it's not recognising my google login and so i can't access the google play store.
And i only have 4.3 mb free until i get rid of the half-installed/downloaded items
Sorry, i realised that's also a desktop app. But i still have the same problem. connecting via bluetooth or wifi requires you to have the app on your phone, which i can't do
And the computers i have access to aren't detecting it. it could be a driver issue, but i don't know where to find a safe driver that old

You can download apk files from mirrors to the reader with microSDHC and install from the microSDHC placed in the phone.
