Hi, I had problems with the kies from day one-
at first for few days it's just showed me connection window,
after that, I succeed to connect one time (didn't change nothing) and it came back to the same condition.
Then, after reinstell kies and the drivers the auto-reset problem started
I found a weird file in skyfire(browser) folder, deleted him and the auto-reset stopped but not solved.
Now, when I connect the device to kies i get messege "device not supported by kies" while the phone shows "connected" with the usb picture.
I'm using windows xp home edition, kies version 1.5.1.10074_2,
firmware 2.1-update1, baseband version I9000xxjf3.
Please, if someone know how to fix it I will be thankful.
iv got the same problem.. my phone connects to the main window in Kies.. and i can use all those things from main screen beside the APPS.. when i click on Apps icon.. it loads the apps and i get that message your phone is not suported.. bla bla.. and in that list of phones are only 2 types of phone.. those Wave type.. ? any answers?
btw im from Romania.. i do think cuz is not officialy suported or updated for my country? could that be the reason.. im looking for an answer aswell.. pls help!!
Kies can be very awkward to use
If you are using any other Home screen launcher other than TW Launcher - that can cause problems. Switch back to TW while you transfer things.
Also check to see if you are running the latest version of Kies
Apparently Odin is a better program to connect your pc to your phone but i haven't tried it yet so can't comment.

Kies doesn´t support Android Apps for now, only Bada OS (Wave) and i guess Symbian too. That is why you cannot choose any of the apps in the list from Kies and the SGS won´t show up to select.
The only Samsung Apps you can download are in the Samsung Apps App preinstalled on the Phone. There you get Asphalt and some other stuff for free.
I manage to connect my galaxy with kies every time when i umount sd card trough settings. After that kies recognized my phone. But i have other issue. After my sd card is unmounted then for example i can transfer videos only to internal memory and when i mount sd card again and when i want to transfer that video from internal to sd card using file manager app it just video doesn't play. What that could be? So video is payable when it is on internal memory, but when i move that video on sd card using file manager app on the phone i always get massage 'u can not play that video'. Please help?
Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to flashing phones, although I fix computers so I was a quick learner.
Anyway, I have recently flashed my Galaxy Mini with the cyanogen mod I found in the galaxy mini developers sub-forum on this very site and come across a number of problems. Some of these I have fixed using my own best judgement and others, however I'm still having trouble "cleaning" the functionality issues.
For the record can I just say, I love the mod and my thanks and congratulations go out to all the devs involved. Well done!
So, my issues so far...
wifi issues - sometimes hangs on the obtaining ip address part
Android Market - installed both old and new versions (including the download link on the cm 7 thread) - installs fine then asks to create new account, I click ok and it closes the app
Creating sync accounts in settings - gmail, hotmail etc will not add (error: Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server
Downloading from internet - I have constantly been clearing the data and cache of the download app and browser and after a couple more downloads I have to repeat these steps. Anybody know a permanent fix for this?
Email: also not completing user accounts registration
I have searched and searched both this site and others for solutions to no avail. I love this mod and am very impressed with the tools included and my one wish is to be able to use it to the best of its ability. When I installed the update from sd card, my installed apps were also deleted (from the sd card), which I found strange, but thought hey, no problem if I can just download them from the market again right? But obviously since I cant run the market app, here lies my problem.
I hope there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve reflashing my phone. I would be saddened to have to give up on this mod as I love nothing better than to get the most out of my phone.
Also just to clarify, I followed every step detailed in the CM 7 thread exactly as outlined and the flashing process was a pass for the cwm and the update completed successfully for the CM 7. I also cleared all data and wiped cache partition before and after each step as outlined.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions and I look forward to joining you on the forum.

No idea about wifi - not used it.
For market crashing, try this:-
Settings > applications > all > Market. Try clearing data from this.
You ought not have to create new account for everything. Creating /adding a single gmail account will work for email and market and address / contacts, google+, maps, etc.
Having to clear browser cache / data - I do not "download" much, but browse a lot - including the picture / video rich sites. Have not much problem, though occassional clearing cache / restarting the browser does help speeding up page loading. Probably has to do with low device memory. Did use other third party browser - like dolphon (opera is the reason I moved away from Nokia), but am back to stock html viewer now.

Thanks for your input. I managed to set-up gmail under the email app but it wouldn't accept my hotmail account (it used to before the mod)
I have lots of free memory on both the device memory and sd card. I also have plenty free ram. My phone runs like a dream now to be honest.
I have just tried an apparent workaround by installing youtube on the phone, however although I can use it no problem, when I try to add an account I get this - Unable to authenticate user (before it even asks me to input my information!)
This really sucks =(
I can't sync or download anything through market.
Also, I have cleared the data and cache several times to no permanent avail, as I mentioned in first post.

Wifi -issue...i have this sometimes.But even in official 2.2.1.And this issue is when reconnect at same brodband or at remebered wifi networks.I solve this issue sample.
-Turn of your phone Wifi,disconnect your brodband from power energy,wait 10 seconds,plug in againr brodband,wait him to load ~1-2 minuts,after reboot your phone turn on again wifi and manual connect to wifi.After auto-reconnect will work a wile with no issues.
For other sync email and contacts you need to isntall googleapps.zip via CWM at first run setup your Gmail acount.After no issue with others.
Also you need to make a correct install of CM and googleapps.zip.
1.)Install official 2.3.4 KPI using tools from samfirmwares.
2.)After install CWM using ODIN like in tj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750
3.)Install CyanogenMod via CWM
4.)Boot up your phone and disconnect from 3g network and connect to wifi
5.)Reboot phone in recovery and flash googleapps.zip via CWM.
6.)Boot your phone and setup gmail acount.
7.)add your acounts and sync.
If you make this you shall not have any kind of issues with acounts sync ,only sometimes with wifi.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions - I've been waiting all day for a solution like this. I already have cwm installed as I said in first post. I will try reflashing as a last resort.
However, I am trying your theory on installing the google apps zip file through cwm now and will let you know how it pans out. Thanks!
Damn. Always something goes wrong! Log from cwm ; Finding Update package>Opening update package>verifying update package>E:signature verification failed>Installation aborted. Grrrrr
Previous installations have been fine through the choose zip from sd card. However, on attempting another zip (flash 10.2) also doesn't verify either (worked before)
Whats going on?? I'm at my wits end =P

You can toggle "signature verification" in CWM recovery menu. (Not sure where exactly that option is - but recovery menu is not too deep.

All, I am using CM7 for Galaxy Mini 09102011 and I have ony one problem:
Somehow the MAC address of the Wifi device in the phone is changing every time I disable and re-enable Wifi connection. This was a problem, since because of that I had to disable MAC address filtering in my home network just to prevent myself always setting the new MAC address in my router's MAC filtering "white list".
What I observed that the changing part of the MAC address is always the 2nd half (meaning the last 3 pair of hex numbers)!
Does someone know a fix how to prevent Wifi MAC changing?
Some people say that the don't have this experience with the previous release of CM7 for Galaxy Mini (01102011).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't noticed this kind of problem before with CM7 personally and I wish I had a fix for you. Perhaps it may be better to back up and try a reflash? Assuming you haven't already tried that of course!
Sorry I don't have any other methods but I noticed nobody is replying to your question!

Yes, this problem is not there in CM7 01102011. You can try flashing it after a nandroid backup. I had similar problem with latest (09 10) CM7 so I restored my previous backup and everything is fine now...

When you connect your phone to your PC choose MTP instead of LG PCSuite. Wait until the phone installs his driver ( this needed only first time). And that's it. I worked for me.

Hi! I am having problem with using a usb thumb drive. When transferring multiple files/picture from phone to the drive, the transfer would freeze. And then it would disconnect the drive by itself.. Any advise is greatly appreciated!

hi ,
firstly ,
with your limited info etc ,it is difficult ,to pinpoint your problem ??
However ,i can give you insight in my setup and use ?
I have a Note5 N920 C model ,not rooted ,stock rom .
I have 2 x otg devices that i use and they work fine .
I can transfer multiple file ,pictures etc .no problem .
I use a 3rd party file manager Fx to do the job .
i have found that the Touchwizz file manager ,
to be sometimes unreliable ( on some of my other devices gives a error/force closes )
I thus use my preferred file manager Fx .( i have configured it t,o open if otg is inserted .
if stock /Touchwizz file mananger opens first ,i press back button out of My files and and normally Fx is also open under My Files app .
The way i see it it could be numerous reasons ..eg.
...is otg compatible with your device ?(it should be)
Have you cleared My Files data and cache in Application manager ?
I t even could be that you disabled a service /(eg Package Disabler )
and it thus have a knock on effect ?
resulting in the freezing etc ..?
If you rooted ,it can be many more other reasons .!!
Bottom line it should work ???
good luck
It's most probably the otg thumb drive you're using: i used to have the same problem with one i bought from amazon. In the end it stopped working (corrupting my microsd card along the way) so i decided to try one from Meenova next and have been using it for over 6 months now without any problems. Even just now i copied over 10Gb of data to the OTG drive without any problems.
