Hey Guys,
I am a newbie with a galaxy note n7000. I love this phone but had a question.....if you go to setting-account and sync...I have a samsung account showing but when i press sync all...it doesn't do anything. It is grayed out, is it supposed to be this way or is something wrong with my phone. If i press on the samsung account it gives me options like account information, privacy, and etc, but will not let me sync all or manually sync it. Please help and sorry for the dumb question.
The Samsung account does not really have that much to sync. As far as I can tell it is just used for some Samsung apps such as find my phone
http://account.samsung.com/membership/service/getServieInfoList.do
and to put your mind at ease I also cannot sync of Samsung Account.
PS try to make your title a little bit more descriptive next time.
Samsung acct on galaxy note not syncing
Thanks for the tip!
So this does not stop the international galaxy notes from getting updates (like ICS)?

Hi all
I am running stock Samsung Froyo 2.2.1 and somehow, SNS status of my contacts stopped working. It does not show if I create a shortcut on desktop, hovewer it shows in the Dialer app. I tried to re-join facebook and phone contacts, re-enable facebook sync with the samsung app and also with facebook app, nothing helping. The only thing not tried is removing the Facebook sync account and add it again. Any suggestions?
that wont help either im having the same problem i guess its messed up but i tried removing the account & adding it again still did nothing hope this answers ur question
damn... i expect you did not try to do hard reset too
nope didnt try that it seems like there fixing it but who knows how long that will last lol y did u try a hard reset??
Nah... I am saving that for real issues
I am having the same issue. The get friends screen simply says "No SNS accounts". This is a samsung galaxy s. I have a facebook account setup... On Android 2.1 I used to be able to select who to sync. I am now on 2.2.1

I had heard Facebook and Google having a falling out and Google disabling sync but I thought it would only affect official 2.3 firmwares. Might be a corporate rather than a phone issue

Guys
It may sound like a noob question, because im quite new to samsung and android.
My phone runs on darky 10.1,
since a few days my phone contacts wont show up in kies. The phone shows up, connects but the contact list in kies is empty. I do not have a solution to that, but mainly my problem ever since i got this phone(which is also the first android I use) - Resolved it, the problem was caused by deleting the wssyncmlnps.apk in system/app/ folder as i saw that it helps save the battery. Putting back the file to system/app sorted it, and now it connects and loads up fine. I do not know whether it helps stop the battery drain though, was following some forums.
I sync'd my contacts/calendar to the gmail account i made. It was a blank account which didnt have any contacts nor mail prior to the sync process because I never used it,
So my problem is that - why doesn't my gmail account (on the web) doesnt show any contacts or calendar content which i just sync'd from my phone ???
Thanks a lot in advance !
Strange! Sound like problem with sync software our mistake in your set up ?

That is a very good question let me scratch my bald head and see what suggestions I can come up with! Back in a bit
Donate please @ Nitr8
1st suggestion is to try reflashing darkys, as what you removed and replaced is an apk, it may not be installed properly, or use a market apk installer to make sure it is actually installed, I will keep thinking
Donate please @ Nitr8
The Kies 3 don't have the option for sync with outlook. Anyone know how to sync note 3 with outlook? Please help. Thanks.
I have a case open with Samsung support in the UK about this.
They advise the Sync Tab in Kies 3 is missing, and that their software engineers are working on it, and that it will be installed in the future.
However support people generally know less than customers so I will believe it when I see it.
Meanwhile if anyone spots an updated version of Kies 3 internationally with this attached please advise.
The Note 3 doesn't work with Kies 2 which is annoying and asks for Kies 3, which I found on the Samsung UK website.

@ fonejacker - I'm with you on this mate....
So on top of the fact business users/travelers can no longer go outside their designated area...in my case Europe...and use a USA sim for example due to territory blocking...we cannot do a sync with Outlook using Kies 3....after just parting with £600 GBP for this phone its seems a bit much!
However as I have upgraded from a Note 1....the tech is awesome on Note 3 by comparison....I feel forced to accept these missing elements...
A statement from Samsung saying that 'not a lot people use this feature' is because those that used Outlook sync never complained it was missing!! lol
peace
Dok
Here ya go. This should do the trick.

same goes for S4
I was just offered an upgrade for my S4 to Android 4.3. I upgraded. When I tried to sync my calendar, I was told I needed to upgrade to Kies 3. I did and now I also cannot sync. I'm very disappointed in Samsung for this. I hope they fix it soon.
Update: I also cannot back up my phone. Backup does not back up in the order shown in the backup items list. I am able to get through Contacts, S Memos, S Planner, Videos, Music and Photos. Miscellaneous content files fails and Call log hangs forever. I tried disabling those last two and then it hung on something else instead.
Same issue with my S4
no help from Samsung customer service
I just called Samsung customer service in Singapore. They apologized a dozen times but have no information about when the "improvement" to Kies 3 will be ready so we can sync and backup again.
Any new updates on this? Not being able to sync the Note 3 with Outlook is a huge inconvenience.
Mine syncs with all of my exchange accounts.

The problem is people using outlook not aways (I believe mostly not) upload their address book onto outlook.com because of security and privacy issues.

KIES 3 synchro with contacts/calendar Outlook
Have big issue with the above. No alternative to get any synchro with contacts and calendar from Outlook as before. Does anybody knows when Samsung/Kies will have the alternative done with Kies 3 ?. If any other solution, please let me know.
Best regards

Any news from your side because this becomes very stupid to not have the possibility to synchronize anymore. I believed we were in the 21st, century ???

Outlook problem
I have just upgraded my phone to 4.3 and Kies 3.0, and have just found out that I can no longer sync my phone with Outlook. I cant believe that Samsung could sell a premium product which is designed both for personal and business use without this important function. Has anyone found a solution, or this phone now redundant as a business tool?
Hello,
I am trying to connect my S4 to home computer/wifi through Kies but when I tap "Kies via Wi-Fi" the screen just greys out after I accept the wifi warning popup.
I think I may have disabled something that Kies requires to work in my efforts to slim down the system.
For example I quarantined all the AT&T apps and Samsung Apps Widget, Samsung Books,Games,Hub,Music,Text-to-speech engine,WatchOn,WatchON Video.
First, make sure you are in the correct forum. This one is for the S4 Active, not the S4.

Give air droid a try. It's better than kies.

Did you read my signature. This is an ACTIVE on AT&T, hence the "quarantined AT&T apps"
And I am trying to figure out why THIS app does not work, not find an alternative. I know Kies will sync with my Outlook calendar. I don't know if Air-Droid will or not but I already have Kies installed on my PC and supposedly also on the phone.

For some reason your sig was not showing when I replied. I sync my Outlook calendar and contacts without ever using Kies. So much easier. Look into Outlook Connector.

Outlook connector? I know how it connects to various social media but how to sync just with my phone wirelessly?
I'm trying to avoid having to plug the phone into a cable and avoid paying for a 3rd party app.
Outlook Connector has nothing to do with social media. It is a plug-in for Outlook that allows it to sync with any Microsoft Exchange client without ever connecting the phone to a PC. You set up your e-mail account on the phone as an Exchange client and then it can sync with Outlook. You don't have to have a Hotmail account, but it works better with one. I have been using this method for years to sync my Android phones with my Outlook contacts, calendars and tasks. There is a lot of info on the internet on how to do this.
OK well this is interesting, possibly embarassing but I'm not sure...
In Connections/Connect and Share/Kies via Wi-Fi I press that, say OK to wi-fi warning and get screen greyed out.
So I went over to the play store and downloaded the Kies App...
Which works fine.
But the Connections/kies button still does not work. I'm not going to worry about it any more. Thanks for reading my mania..

I must be confusing Outlook SOCIAL connector... Anyway I don't have an Exchange account. I'm on the "free" band wagon as much as possible.

You don't need an Exchange account, you just need to install the free Outlook Connector on the PC you have Outlook on with your calendar and contacts. When you setup the e-mail account on your phone do so as a Microsoft Exchange account, not standard POP3 or anything else. The plug-in is free and there's nothing to buy other than Outlook.
Here's one link with lots of info on how to do this.

Moved to S4 ACTIVE forums
Getting Kies to work takes an act of Congress, the sun/moon/Earth/Jupiter and Pluto have to be in alignment during a transit of Venus and you also need exactly $765432.10 in your BofA checking account on Black Friday the 13th. Once all that's set, touch your nose with your right ring finger and do a keyboard combo of command+tab+2+3+6 and hit the enter key with your right elbow to click on the 'connect' button in Kies (making sure you don't hit the shift key on accident).
Or you just find a better alternative. Kies is garbage and works less then half the time (if you're lucky). I've tried it on Mac OSX, Windows 7 and 8 and 3 different Samsung phones (2 S4As and a Rugby Smart). It's never worked properly for me so I gave up, froze it all and uninstalled it from all my machines. I think it's been the same experience for most people as well, unfortunately.
I hate this app but I'm stuck using it cause that where the off screen notes save to.
Anytime I create a new off screen note, a notification comes up saying couldn't sync to Samsung Cloud. I can silence the notification but it shows in the app too & is annoying. Any way to disable that?
I have all cloud services disabled as far as I know but doesn't matter as it seems it's the app that is the issue.
Why couldn't Samsung have just stuck with the good ol' Snote!

All good, but thanks. Yes I did finally figure it out. It was a permission issues that was causing that message & would have caused a sync issue as well if I was using sync. I originally only had storage granted for permissions. Granting contacts & phone fixed the issue like you said.
I prefer not not sync my notes. Samsung currently has no way of deleting the sync'd notes off their cloud through a webpage. You need to use the original device that was sync'd to delete anything notes saved in their cloud. Had to find my note Note II & fire it up to delete the sync'd notes saved on the cloud.
While, I'm here anyone know the location of the saved notes for Samsung Notes on the Note 8? It doesn't seem to save to internal storage like the old Snotes did. I think it's somwhere /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.notes but I can't figure it out. I currently only have 2 notes but in those folders nothing matches up.
