[Q] Samasung Galaxy S Anycall Korean Phone Problem

**I know I'm creating a new thread when there is already a consolidated thread for this model**
I've been searching the net for the answers to my problems and i've often found myself founding my key words mashed up in the middle of the Samsung Anycall thread and trying to look for the answer a few pages after intertwined topics. Please create a subforum for SHW-110s, I've spent two days scanning the entire thread and to be honest my brain stopped working after the third page I've read.
Enough about my ranting, here are my problems... I got this phone but all I got from the person who gave it to me is its charger and its case.
1. This korean phone has been known to have the "Invalid Sender" problem thru sms texting right? The fix I've found was to either install the handcent or edit your number. I can't find a phone with such feature and I've installed handcent but it won't send the message at all. I'm in the Philippines and I'm using a Globe Telecom Prepaid Sim. I've tried a Smart Telecom Postpaid Sim Card and the handcent app works fine. I don't want to switch sims, please help...
Solved
According to my friend most Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones have the function to edit your SIM
2. I bought a USB Data Cable, even downloaded Kies from the samsung site but everytime I connect my phone to the PC it tries to install it automatically and it fails everytime. I don't know if I'm missing something, I cannot find this problem being posted by anyone so far.
Solved
thanks to Kr0c0. donwloaded Kies from the korean site instead
3. Is it possible to use the DMB TV in the Philippines?
4. Is it possible to have Swype on my Korean phone? (I'm sorry, i've found this problem posted but I wasn't sure if the response (after several other posts) is the one I should follow, either that or I just couldn't process anything further anymore.
Solved
thanks to Kr0c0. should be possible thru update
5. Can I get Social Hub?
Answered
precious_mew seems we're stuck with the apps currently.
6. How big is the downloaded file if you choose to upgrade through Kies? Does it affect the 3G capabilities of the phone?
I would really appreciate any help. I sooo love this phone and would like to make use of it properly. Thanks in advance ^__^
Model: SHW-m110s
Firmware: 2.1 -update1
Baseband: M110S.DF20.1839.ST
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build#: Eclair.DF21

Hi I'll try to help you out. But I'm no expert. I agree a small corner for the m110s on this forum would be nice.
1. Apparently the iphone is one such phone which can edit your number. There must be one some where?
2. Had this problem too until I installed kies and usb drivers directly from the korean download site.
kr.samsungmobile.com/service/support/down/anycall.software.view.do?modelCd=SHW-M110S should do it.
3. Not sure about this. The Philippines has a dmb service?
4. Firmware DI03 has english swype only. Froyo should bring already korean swype too. When you get kies working your phone should update to this.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

1. So far, none of the people I've known owns an unlocked iPhone.
2. Thanks !! will try to download it right now
3. It doesn't work so I don't think we have DMB service...
4. Can I just directly upgrade to Froyo? are there dangers to that? (I'm not yet quite familiar with roots and flashes)

We should wait for korea to update to froyo (hopefully soon) The froyo available now is for the i9000 which looks the same as our m110s but uses slighty different hardware (like the dmb stuff).
Kies is the official way to upgrade our phones normally but I think you should take another look at the mega m110s thread stickied here. I'm in korea so have had no troubles upgrading firmware but some people out of korea have had problems with their 3g service and possibly other things after upgrading.

uhhh upgrade to what? so Froyo is not yet available for Korea but we can upgrade? ermm >___<

I've installed the Kies from the korean website and I have it up and running, I did some progress so far, it says "Connecting the device" but it keeps on doing that forever... I might still be missing something.

Did you pull down the notification bar on the phone and select connect by usb? Some older firmwares were picky like that. Also turning usb debugging on or off in the usb settings on the phone makes a difference too.
And I mean as far as updating goes. The last time an update for eclair 2.1 came for the m110s was mid september. But it only updates through kies so I assume you can upgrade to that now and froyo when it comes out.

Should i be on the USB debugging mode or not? I mean, my laptop tries to install the new device and fails...

Even with Samsung Kies and the USB driver from the korean website, I'm still unable to connect my phone to my PC T__T
Here is the message I'm getting:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
SAMSUNG Android Modem Ready to use
SAMSUNG Android Networking (CDC/EEM Ethernet) Drivers (WDM) Ready to use
USB Mass Storage Device Failed

I've connected yay !!
Now all im missing are Social Hub, Swype, DMB TV and the updates... also to send sms message thru handcent T__T

I'm also a SHW-M110s from the Philippines. You can just download the apps you need from the Android Market like Facebook, Twitter etc. As for the Swype, it will be available once you've updated your phone. I think the DH-07 has the swype. were you able to install the Handcent SMS?

I installed handcent but it wont send my messages thru Globe.
I'm thinking of upgrading the firmware... are there any dangers to that? I've read some 3G problems... Since you're from the Philippines, what can you suggest?

Have you set up an APN yet? If not, contact your carrier. It'll have the potential to help resolve your text message situation.

APN?
I am able to use handcent using a different provider (Smart Telecom)...
I can text via normal messages but I need to specify the sender everytime
With my current firmware, should I upgrade it to get swype or will it just cause more problems?

Bump, still unsure if I should upgrade... please advise

this post can be deleted.

updated the first post for people who will encounter it in the future. Still got remaining questions though...
Help !! ^__^

At first i thought i got robbed and got myself a fake china phone. I then surfed the web & found out it was a real Galaxy S with a different culture. Well these are my workarounds:
1.) Upgrade to Froyo
2.) Edit your Sim "my own number" to send messages using any phone with sim management
3.) Install Launcher Pro and hide all those korean apps
4.) Install Handcent SMS for 160 char texting
5.) Manually create an APN for web browsing using 3G network
6.) Ignore all the korean characters you see (ringtones,etc.. etc..) hehe! besides, all the apps running on international galaxy S will definitely work on our korean model.

thanks!

[Q] Samsung Kies "Device not Supported" error

Hey guys. I have had my Captivate since the beginning of September. I downloaded Samsung KIES and was able to download the update back in Sept. I have checked periodicially for any updates, was able to sync contacts, and all that. Yesterday, I went to check for an update, and there was one available. After downloading the update, KIES could no longer recognize my phone. I shut down my computer and the phone. When I reconnected, KIES told me that the "device was not supported." I have redownloaded it several times, but to no avail. I am trying it again, using advice I found on another forum service, hoping it will work. However, has anyone else had this issue, or is this an issue that seems to be plaguing the new update? I thought I was downloading a new firmware update for the phone, however, It may have been a KIES update...

What update did you install on your phone? Post your firmware, baseband, and kernel versions, along with the build number.
Also, this probably doesn't belong in the development section. You should post this in the general board.

[Update] I downloaded KIES again (the newest version) and it still says my device is not supported. My computer recognizes the phone, just not KIES...Is it still possible to download an older version of KIES, because the issue seems to be the version of KIES, and not my phone...?

This info would really help...

I didn't actually update my phone. KIES was downloading the update, and once the update was downloaded, my phone was not recognizable. I will move the forum to the general discussion and post the info there... Thanks!

i have the same problem on my i897. i m running latest cognition rom on mine that could be the issue?

I have the same issue with Kies. I downloaded an update for Kies and now Kies no longer sees my Captivate. My computer sees the Captivate no problem. I have been looking for an older version of Kies to go back to.

Kies update issue
I had the same problem once my version of Kies updated last week. I tired everything, cleared user setting and cache, formated the INT SD card.
Did a ODIN one click restore to the original firmware and tried the above steps again... Nothing...
I had to uninstall the full version of Kies and go back to the MINI version of Kies, then all was fine...
I'm suspecting that they updated the full version of Kies to exclude certain versions of the Galaxy S (Captivate in my case)...

I had the same thing happen after I let Kies update, tried everything I could think of, it would not link to the phone. I uninstalled the new version and reinstalled the older version I first had, all is good again. I suspect it was a deliberate move, as Samsung now says the Captivate can only be updated with Kies mini.

I concur, since AT&T has removed all native tethering and WiFi AP ability from the captivate, I think they pushed Samsung to remove captivate support from Kies. I don't have time to look around, but perhaps Kies has a config file that can be updated/changed to re-add captivate support.

Same here. I just updated Kies to 1.5.3.10103_100 just now before doing research on the adverse affects (Who'da thunk it that I would need to). Turns out that after Kies installed the update, it can no longer recognize my Samsung Captivate. I am running Cognition 2.1.6 ROM but that shouldnt matter. Just last week I was able to connect to Kies and back up my calendars and messages. Now....I am getting the "connecting the device..." message. That message has been up for the past 40 minutes. I have not reflashed my phone for at least 2 weeks now.
Seems like the Kies update to 1.5.3.10103_100 did something bad.

Same Problem
Its the Kies new version bug !
need a solution

I went back to the older version kies (1.5.3.10075_17)
and it works very well now .. i think new version kies have some bug or problem

Have you read this thread? It's not looking like a bug - more like Samsung doesn't want the full Kies to work with US Captivates. Kies mini still works, and that's what Samsung wants people to use.

In case anyone is looking for an older version of kies, I found one at turbobit.net/i8v2c4oixldz.html

Thread moved to Q&A.

Remember you have to be in TWLauncher for Kies to work.
Also if you search for Kies you will find many prior versions.
I happened to have 1.5.3.10093_82 and reverted from the update.
Everything works fine.

I installed a previous version of Kies and it works just fine. If anyone needs a older version you can find it at samfirmware.com
They list all the versions that Samsung has made under the Samsung Kies link

encountered same issue.
here's another alternative link to older version 1.5.3.10092_2_1 that seems to work.

Are you able to mount your phone to your pc and copy files back and forth

Did you ever flash a rom based off another phone (I9000, Rogers)? There are some roms that will change your product id.

This solved my unregistered device problem.
It didn't fixed my borked IMEI but it did allow me to update via Kies again. Everything on my phone works, save for Market which always breaks on a stock AT&T rom within a day. Every other ROM it works on. After flashing a few I9000 ROMs and a couple Rogers, I had the issue.
Flashing back to stock didn't fix it. Methinks we need to get some ROM cookers to fix that one up...

Galaxy Note not recognized by Kies after OTA update
Dear Experts,
I had bought Galaxy Note recently in India GT-N7000, after turning on the device it found OTA and I updated the same now the Version is BB Version DDLA2 and Kernel Version DDLA5. But after this when I connect my phone back to my laptop it does not recognize and comes up with a message "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC mode). Current Connection Mode not supported my Kies" Following where the troubleshooting I had already did. Only one this which I observe new is previously when I use to connect my phone my phone use to notify MTP Connection at the top of the screen but now it says USB Connected Select Files to/from your computer
1. Uninstalled and re installed Kies
2. Clear Phone Cache through Recovery Mode
3. Tried the "Troubleshoot Connection Problem" in Kies
Please help
Thanks in advance

Phone issue

I foolishly bought a Galaxy S from ebay that had previously been unlocked from Orange.
The handset still had some range software installed.
I was given some possibly incorrect advise, due to not being able to update phone through Kids. I then downloaded firmware 2.3.2 from samware. I then downloaded Odin and followed the tutorial. I am now unable to even connect my phone to Kies and the phone feels sluggish and has crashed twice.
Can anyone help? Thanks

Right first of all can you connect the phone to the computer ?? example: USB mass storage ??
secondly do you have the 3 button combo ??? (recovery and download mode)
if yes to both, get yourself 2.2.1 firmware from samfirmware.com (something like I9000XWJS5 or JS8) they seem to be the latest releases.
follow the instructions found on the website to flash the firmware and then report back.

Problems
Thanks for you`re advice. Flashed firmware and phone seems to be ok, but i`m still unable to connect to Kies. Kies just says connecting but never connects.

Try this.
- Go to settings>wireless and network>usb settings. Put it on "ask on connection"
- Start Kies. Wait for it to load.
- now connect your phone to your pc. It asks what kind of connection on your phone. Choose Kies.
- hopefully now it loads in Kies
If this doesnt work try reinstalling Kies.

[Q] kies recongized device

Hello,
I upgraded my att captivate to Froyo when the official release was issued through kies. My friend was having problems getting the drivers to load on his PC so I told him to bring his phone over and I would use my PC to upgrade him to froyo through kies. Well we just plugged in his phone and kies is saying that it is an unrecongized device. So I plugged my phone in and it is saying that for my phone now. I don't understand it worked a last month when I upgraded to froyo. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for you help.
Jason

did you change anything on your phone? Rom, kernel, modem, root?
Also I had that problem with full verdion of kies so I tried kies mini and for some odd reason it worked.
One last thing... Make sure you select kies update on your phone after plugging the usb

Correct me if I'm wrong, but USB debugging should be
Off( how else to select kies).
