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...

So yeah, I'm stuck in Korea for a bit, so I picked up a Galaxy S, and been dying to try out Swype, but the update only came out a week or so ago. But.. I'm using a Mac, and I have absolutely no idea how to update this. Anyone have any ideas? I can't use Kies, but I've downloaded a factoryfs.rfs that seems legit (316 megs?) but no idea how to use it.
Anyone got any ideas? I know I'm gonna have this problem too when 2.2 comes out.
on MAC you can install WinXP in virtual mode
then install Kies to the virtual WinXP
then connect the phone to the virtual WinXP
use Kies to update
If you haven't already updated my two biggest recommendations are, either do it at a work or friend's computer. Or you can take it to a Samsung Plaza, there are a few in every major city, and get the upgrade done there for free. Also, a firmware is posted over at samsungmobile.com (I think it's not the most current since it was released on the 19th IIRC), you might not need Kies for it, but I can't check since.
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

Hi guys, I've had a look around the net and asked on other forums, but can't seem to find the answer to my problems, so someone recommended here.
Apologies, if this has already been covered, but I did have a search and couldn't find what I was looking for.
I think I have two problems, don't know if they are related, but don't think so.
Problem 1:
Got the Galaxy S for my daughter for Christmas. She has never been able to log in to the android marketplace. She was using the her google log in which wasn't a gmail account. Today I signed her up a gmail account, and tried again and got the following error message:
You don't have a network connection.
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when connected to a mobile network, or connect to a wi-fi network. If the problem continues, call customer care.

The phone is definitely connected the net by wi-fi, which I have proved to be working correctly.
Problem 2:
To try and solve problem 1, I thought I would see if the firmware was up-to-date, however, I can't get the phone to connect to Kies. I have tried on two different laptops, one running Vista and one Windows 7. It seems to be saying it's some kind of driver problem. I have clicked on install drivers on Kies, but it makes no difference.
I have made sure the phone is selected Kies. I have also tried selecting mass storage and connecting through My Computer, but still it doesn't recognise the phone.
I believe the phone's firmware is out of date, as it is 2.1 update 1 and I believe 2.2 is available.
Apologies for the long post, can anybody help me to get Kies and marketplace working?
I am not interested in jailbreaking the phone, as it's for my daughter.
The phone is a contract phone, in the UK with orange. I have made sure orange safe guard is not active.
Thanks in advance, if you need anymore infor, i will try and supply it.
Any idea's?
Bump.
Can anybody help or is the best option to try a factory restore / take it back to the shop?
Well there is alot of tread that explain how you connect to kies.
If you can use internet then it should work.
Have you try to power of the phone and wait 5 minutes and then power it on?

I have got the market place working by doing a factory restore, but for the life of me, I can't get the phoned connected to Kies to do a firmware update.
I have tried on 4 different laptops.
1. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
2. Windows 7 Home Basic.
3. Windows Vista.
4. Windows XP.
and I can't get it to connect on any of them.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing Kies. I have tried using different usb wires and ports. Phone charges by usb when plugged in.
I have tried connecting the phone in both Kies mode and Mass Storage mode.
The error I keep getting seems to be a driver error:
Device Driver software was not successfully installed.
Please consult your device manufacturer for assistance in getting this device installed.

Looks like I'll need to take the phone back or ring Samsung.

tell me if that trick works
Are you using a USB hub? If so don't . Plug it straight into the rear USB of your computer.
Do you have Bluetooth active? Turn it off.
Are you using any other Home than the one it came with (the screen you see when you first turn it on)? Go back to the stock TW Launcher
In the Kies Tools menu click on Install Driver and then try again after it's finished.
Finally if it is still not connecting leave it plugged in and go into device manager. If the drivers show up there they should be listed as Samsung i9000 if I remember then right click and un-install drivers then unplug phone and plug it back in after a few moments.
Also use the cabel that did come with.the phone.

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

Jump to 0:36, mine doesnt list my PC.
Again kies air works 100%, no issues nothing what so ever.. I just need Kies Wifi to work.

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.

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.
ok so I have updated Kies and already I regret. Kies opens ok but is partially out side the screen, as attached, and will only minimise and close. I can move the window slowly but only from the move control and not by dragiing and this very slow and a pain. This is a problem as some of the controls are to the right of the kies window. Also when connected kies runs slow and will not connect.
I am using a dell precision pc with ms xp and not a net book. I have 2 screens - one A4 size and one A3 size. No problem with other programmes including previos kies.
I have checked and my note has the lastest availble firmware version 4.0.4 and the latest kies air.
I have now removed kies from my pc and will start again by reinstalling the latest version and see what happens.
Well that did not work. Kies is running but is running very slow and makes the curser slow to move across screen when in Kies. It still will not resize and so when opened the top right hand side sync tab can not be seen or click.
Help!
No answer...so I presume no one else is having problems?
try changing the screen resolution
Sounds like you're pc's up the Creek mate
