AFAIK, you must have touchwiz set as default launcher to synchronize with kies.

im only using touchwiz, havent got any others on here, any more ideas please i really dont want to have to put all my contacts and calender entries in by hand
Did you check the mtp application in the kitchen? I'm guessing not, just create an update zip from the kitchen with it in.

Sync your outlook with googlemail, then back your phone up from Google. Use media player for everything else, xda for roms, bye bye kies

Have you installed the Nexus S usb drivers?
MIUI is developed using CM7, and CM7 is developed using Nexus S rom. So you need Nexus S driver.

So ive spent the last 6 hours or so trying to get kies v 1.5 and kies mini to recognize my phone to upgrade my firmware. Im still running ECLAIR2.1 !!
Ive tried everything including using TW launcher and playing around with the different usb settings. Kies mini wont recognize it and kies v 1.5 did recognize it but when i started the upgrade process it said no response from server, please check if your internet connection is activated!!
This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated. My phone is a rooted rogers i896 version.
Try rebooting phone/ computer or reinstalling kies, maybe it don't like you right now
Try kies mini. Also, uninstall any Samsung drivers first, then reinstall the specific drivers that kies mini requires. You might also need to turn usb debugging on. This lays it all out nicely:

Try right click Kies ,run as administrator.. it worked for me, it was slow to respond at first
Have you ever flahed an I9000 ROM on it? If you have, that would have changed your product ID code in the nv_data.bin file, therefore making it not recognizable in Kies.
If you haven't done this, I don't know what the problem is. Sorry. But I suppose there's a thread somewhere here that can fix it.
You need to only have kies mini. You can't have kies and kies mini for it to work.

Sounds like you need to flash back to stock first. Here's a link to a guy's thread that should help out:

After this, I think you will be ok.
If all you wanted to do was get 2.2 firmware, he also has a version of that, so kies wouldn't be needed.

My i9003 doesnt ever go into kies mode ( pc suite ) even when I select it. it jst exits back to home screen... this started happening after i purchased my memory card...
Ive tried dismounting it and then plugging in, reinstalling kies, trying other computers... nothing... i dont want to format my phone... any fix for my problem?
When i plug in phone and select kies mode... phone goes into standby mode(home screen) and kies keeps on connecting/searching.... it NEVER connects...
help!
Why do you use Kies btw? No one uses Kies unless for drivers.
Also if your that hesitant. You should be more informative and write down your firmware, Or else you won't get much support
dude just selecet kies as default in usb connection mode under connectivity in settings.and then connect to ur pc.it will work.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
Reinstall your phone drivers, go to tools -> install drivers
incase your using a different Launcher like, adw, launcher pro etc then try switching back to the default launcher and then try connecting through kies, i had the same problem

JUst wanted to say you guys are doing a fabulous job here.. havent been much active here... but have been reading this forum since march(even before it got its rightful separate place)...!
I am having same problem, but I don't have any launch pro or adw.
What should I do can anyone help please.?
I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!
What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?
Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?
Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.
Regards
Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode

Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

I am using the Kies usb. i already downloaded the Kies via the samsung website. And After I opened it, it says a newer version is available. So I updated. I also tried the Kies air, I can see the apps on my phone, but I seem cant find where is the sync button for me to make a back up for my phone. How do i use Kies wifi? Sorry again for these noob questions. First time to use android phones. Thanks again!

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.
Hey
First time having this issue...my note keeps telling me that I Need to download driver software. No CD came with my phone. I've uninstalled kies and reinstalled. Very weird I can't think why its not connecting. I'm trying to add a rom to flash but grrrrrrrrrr lol
UPDATE...I didn't open kies and it is installing driver! U would think it would do it automatically.

Okay that did not work at all. Kies installed driver again and my phone still does not connect to USB or kies???

try connection troubleshooting from within kies
without usb debugging in developers section of phone settings
Tried that and still does not connect a thing. It was working fine other day. I'm running a scan to see if I have a virus cause it makes no sence at all.

I had the same issue the other day.. when i tried to connect the note to pc.. the MTP driver was failing and neither pc or kies was detecting the phone... but this happened to me when once i changed the usb utilities setting to connect it as a mass storage device... it connected as mass storage but later it wouldnt connect as media device. tried all sort of things like reinstalling drivers , kies.. tried on a diff pc... still dont work...
later i concluded that it was the phone and did a nandroid backup and then it worked....

Having the same problem with my note since updated kies 3 or 4 days ago. Read somewhere that using the solve connection problem from kies and then unppluging the pc from internet to connect de phone solves the problem though i didn't tried it. The problem is the new driver that came with the latest version of kies, shoud you get the previous drivers all with work again.
Hi @islandmixed,
You sir, are a LEGEND!!!!
Summit happened to my N7000 months ago... And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what had happened... I went through everything, followed many guides, tried many PCs and nothing....
Apart from wiping the ROM and starting again (which I didnt want to do, as all is working fine otherwise) I was at a loss....
Your answer here was spot on, and now shows up in Windows again....
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
