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.

Hi
I wanted to update to the lastest firmware. I already have the 2.2 firmware, but that is the one, which was pulled back.
I have this firmware info: PDA: I9000XWJP6, Phone: I9000XXJPM, CSC:I9000XEEJP4 and it's rooted using the OCLF, which btw deleted all my music/pictures on the internal SD. Weird...
I can't get Kies to connect to my Phone and I have tried everything. Reinstall drivers and what not. Both on a XP and a Windows 7. Then I read somewhere that I could try change the USB settings to Mass Storage. But I can't find that option. I dont have something called USB Settings under About phone. I think it was there with 2.1.
Any ideas what to do?
Look under wireless and network.

OMG... Thank you.
I still can't get i to work. Tried Mass Storage and Samsung Kies... It just says Connecting the Device and just continuing saying it, without actually doing it...
Are you using a firewall or antivirus application on your PC? If you are try disabling it for a bit and see if it has anything to do with it not working.
I'm assuming you have the latest Kies application and you tried using the driver recovery in Kies.
Yes, I have the lastest Kies installed, and yes I have fw and antivirus. But all that doesn't matter now. Because I used Odin and installed it manually. And omg... that is much more easily.
Anyways... Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone.
I'm new on this forum and I really need your help with my SGS.
The problem I'm having is that I can't in any possible way connect SGS to my PC which is running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.My SGS is on Eclair 2.1, I9000XXJF3.
I have tried various ways on so many forums and threads to find a way to connect with no sucess.I tried using different USB ports, tried changing USB settings from Samsug Kies to Mass Storage to Media Player, tried using USB Debuging Mode, dowloaded latest version of Kies, dowloaded latest Samsung Mobile Device Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit, cleaned PC registry, tried New Samsung PC Studio, did a factory reset, formated both internal and external SD card and tried mounting and unmountig them, basicly I've tried everything .Also there is no USB conncetion notification on my SGS no matter what I do and I've tried using different USB cables too and all of the cables had 4 connectors,not 2.Interesting thing though that SGS IS CHARGING when I connect it to any USB port.Sometimes Windows does detect SGS but it allways says "Unknown Device" and when I go to manually install drivers it says that "You allready have the best drivers installed"!! .I have tried it also on other PC in my house which has Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with same results.I really do not know what to do more and I'm very frustrated because of this.
I would be very thankfull if anyone knows a sollution to this problem because I really like this phone but I can't update it if my USB connection doesn't work.
Thanks in advance..
Clean the port on the phone side with rubbing alcohol. I think in your case that is definately the issue (usually its about 1 in 10 by the time people post here). It always charges but its really sensitive for the drivers. This also causes issues at every computer you try.
Never hurts to clean it twice too.
You probably know already, but just in case,
the connection to Kies never worked with custom Launchers, like LauncherPro.
It's necessary to switch back to TwLauncher before connecting to Kies.
Home Switcher is a good app from the market to switch between launchers and set / clear the default.
(In case this helps anyone else.)
Ok,thanks, I will try cleaning it with alcohol and will post if it helps

Well,I tried cleaning with alcohol and it kinda helped.Now it conncets and there is a USB Notification on my cellphone.But my Windows still says "Unknown Device" even if I have latest version of Kies and the latest drivers.I also tried using it like Mass Storage and Media Player, and the result is same .I don't now what to do more??
Clean it again and the port on the computer. I used a pin, or you could try a toothpick, with cotton swab stuff on it. Also make sure its not bent.

it is also possible you have a dry solder joint on phone usb or micro crack in solder, this is quite common, take to service centre and get to fix if you are on warranty, dont take no for an answer
Did you try to flash froyo from samfirmware via odin? Got the same problem as you. Tried everything. Phone of my wife had a connection, for me not. Until i download froyo and upgrade the phone by myself with odin.

Odin didnt recognize it too when your phone is in download mode? Maybe try it on another computer who got vista on it and try a older version of odin like 1.0 or 1.3.

Well, again I have tried everything to connect my SGS to a compuer with no avail.
I even formated my computer, tried on a different computer with Vista on it, and sill it's the same response from evey Windows .Cleaning the USB Ports in this case didn't help , all my other USB Devices work properly on all of the USB Ports.Maybe it has somethig to do with branding,because it's Swisscom branded?
I've run of options and really don't know what to do more
Well it's likely on the phone side. If you really want to see if it was windows then you can install ubuntu and try with heimdall but it's a bit of a learning curve. Maybe a local phone shop can examine the port for you?

You're right, because I'm too starting to think that this is a port problem on my cellphone.I'm too much of a Windows person to mess around with Ubuntu and Linux, and frankly I wouldn't know how to use them .
So the best option is, like you said to take it to a local phone repair shop

Yup, I tried installing even those drivers and still no luck.When I connect my phone to PC and Kies, the MTP Application on the phone says "Connected" but my PC doesn't recognize the phone even with newest drivers installed
What are you trying to do again?
Are you trying to flash with or just connect?
Cause mtp can be very buggy and just chuck kies. It's garbage. But I thought that you were trying to flash...
But you may want to try another rom. Did you try to see if download mode was recognized in odin?

Yes, I'm trying to flash my SGS to put new version of Android in.I'm just trying to find a way to connect it, by any means possible.
It enters download mode but odin doesn't recognize it, although I have installed correct drivers for SGS.
I presume odin can't detect it because my Windows won't detect it, and so I can't connect it in mass storage mode.
Bought this Galaxy S yesterday
I cant get it to connect to my pc
i have done the following.
-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables
-Tried in USB debugging mode
My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1

Are you absolutely sure that the guy sold it coz he WANTED to, & not coz he HAD to??
It's quite probable that he damaged it & then since can't fix it, so sold it away!
Anyway, Try factory reset!
If that doesn't work,
Use the Volume DOWN+Home+Power button combo to get into DOWNLOAD MODE, THEN see if the PC detects a device connected. With all those drivers, it should.
If it does, then you can go ahead & flash it using Odin, or EZOdin

I turned off usb debugging, but the mass storage I can't turn off: I have to choose between MTP and PTP.
I upgraded Kies to the latsest version, unfortunately no connection.
I tried Kies via Wifi and it works, fine for me.
BUT I prefer Kies via USB. Is there anybody else with the same problem and can help me?
Neither works for me.

Were you able to connect to Kies? I can't. I am not talking about USB mass storage mode, but I want to connect PC Kies with my phone and ever since LPY upgrade I can't. I have stock rom, no root and CWM or anything like that. The PC finds the device GT-N7000, and it works fine in explorer, but Kies can not connect to the phone. It stays in connecting and then it says that there was an error connecting to the device.
Anyone else with LPY that can not connect to Kies for PC?

I am also unable to connect to KIES since performing the ICS update ( via mobile Odin ). I tried USB debug on or off and also Wireless and Network settings different combinations... no go...
Waiting for ideas..
I have just updated Kies and apparently is working.
Date of update appears to be today, 14/05/2012, version 2.3.1.12044_18.
I only use kies to make backups and restore them, but this software is somewhat buggy.

After this I can connect via USB to Kies. Good luck!
I responded to an other thread here which has a similar situation as you have...
anyway, what you should do is completely uninstall kies.. when I say completely, I mean removing it thru the registries (of your computer), folders in Program files or Program files x 86... After removing it, reinstall it again, uncheck and recheck usb debugging in your Phone's settings.
Check if Kies will recognize your phone after... It may take a bit while.. but it will I'm sure, also unplug and re-plug your USB cable to different usb ports on your computer and check which one will automatically connect and detect with your phone.
If your using a PC, it's advisable you plug your phone at the back of your PC (where I think there's a USB port in there), it gives a much stronger signal than the one at the front of your tower or desktop.
Hope this helps...

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!!!!
