Hello again everyone.
Now this will make people laugh but I have a Latin American I9000T that's still on the old eclair 2.1.
I want to update it for my friend but there is a problem getting windows to detect the phone through USB. I have read as much as possible about changing usb connection settings and tryin different cables but no matter what i try the computer just doesn't register that there's a phone connected. It won't show up any drives even though the phone itself shows that it is mounted and or connected via kies.
I do get ONE response on the computer when i dial *#7284# for PhoneUtil and select USB modem. Windows pops up with a yellow unknown USB. No drivers are installed for it though even though kies Samsung drivers are already installed and works perfectly fine when i plug in a good working GT-I9000 with gingerbread.
I have tried to clean the USB port on the phone with spray etc.
Anything else to try?
Thanks

I've found that anytime I use an i9000 ROM I have a painfully slow USB connection relative to what I get with a Captivate ROM.
I tried a quick search but nothing came up for me. It's almost as if with i9000 it defaults to USB 1.0.
Wondering if I should try installing Kies drivers or soemthing.... I dunno... hoping somebody came up with a solution already...
Pretty important cause for those that flash often don't want to spend 8 hours transferring music back to the internal SD drive.
USB 1.0?? :S
I think a have a similar problem. Each time I connect my Galaxy S on my computer it shows the message that my device can perform faster...as if my Galaxy is running with USB 1.0.
I've used to different cables, different USB ports...and nothing happens.
Using the same USB cable, with another device, it do not shows the same message so I'm thinking it might be a problem with my Galaxy S or with the USB drivers that I’m using.
I had been using KIES but has the same problem...tried to install the driver aside KIES and the same result...I did a little research and it seems that I’m the only one with this problem...
I appreciate any help
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S on the O2 network in the UK.
Before registering here I have tried my best to sort this myself but I really do need some expert advice now. Please!!
I have tried and tried to update the KIES software but no matter what my PC will not connect to the phone it just says 'connecting' and hangs on that
I've tried on an XP machine and a Windows 7 machine and neither work
I'm currently on software 2.1 and would like to update to 2.2
Are there known problems with connecting the phone to a PC?
I've even tried connecting it so the PC would just view it as an external hard drive but again it doesn't connect and the PC does not recognise the phone.
I can't transfer any music or videos to the phone at the moment obviously and that's what I'm hoping to achieve with some kind help off here. I'd also like flash player which I believe is part of the 2.2 update?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I take it you have an external micro sd card in the phone? Mine wont connect without.
If you do, you should check whether the drivers are ok by connecting via USB. Goto settings, "Wireless and Network", select usb settings and click "ask on connection". Reconnect the usb and the phone should ask you what connection you want, click mass storage.
If that fails, probably a driver issue. Uninstall Kies and samsung drivers and reinstall the latest version of Kies (google Kies)
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll do what was advised and report back
I'm assuming once this phone is updated it's a dream to use!
Cheers
I personally find it's a dream to use if you're using the modded roms..
That does kinda void your warranty though
Just a few tips which entered my mind:
- older versions of Kies do not connect if you changed the launcher on your phone from touchwiz to something else (i.e. Launcherpro or Zeam)
- it's strange it doesn't even connect in storage mode. How are your usb settings (Settings, Wireless & Networks, USB Settings), is it set to Kies or "Ask". When set to Ask or Storage Mode, you still should pull down the notification bar when connecting to make a choice.
- does the pc bleep to indicate it at least senses a device attached? Have you tried different USB ports?
all right, I recently received my phone back from repair shop (screen was damaged) and I've left my original Samsung data cable at my mums place for her to charge her Nokia and I've ordered a new spare one from Amazon for £2.
When I try to connect to the PC, I can browse my folders and copy stuff to and fro from the phone, but the only problem is that Kies doesn't recognise my phone when connected in Kies mode. it says connected on the phone, and connecting in Kies, but never connects!.
I've reinstalled Kies, Samsung drivers, and even Windows Media Player! rebooted my laptop and phone number of times, and still I cannot connect. Also, from what I can remember, when I connected my phone to laptop, it would have installed USB MTP driver. now when I connect it, it doesn't install it. I don't have an USB MTP driver, but I've installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe drivers.
Is this cable fault or is Kies acting weird? I suspect its cable fault. What do you guys think? How do I connect my phone to Kies?
As far as I remember, Samsung requires you to use the original cable for use with Kies. I don't know how they detect ist, but they do check. I suspect this to be your problem.
Solution: Call your mum and ask for a cable exchange
Hi, thanks for your help. Can someone link me to a store which sells data cable that can detect phone in Kies?
thanks in advance.
anyone with any info on the cables?
re
hi there i had broplems with my phone and checked usb cable properties to get my phone working.
Noticed that nokia usb cable aint using pin 4 or 5 so you shuold get a cable with every pin in use.
err.. what? that didn't even make sense to me.
I was asking if anyone knew any online retailer who could sell me galaxy s cable so that it could be used with kies?
surely someone knows where to buy an original cable!
When I try to connect to the computer I get nothing, just a beep on the phone, I was getting an error and now I don't even get that on my computer. (USB still charges the phone though)
I tried 2 different cables, 2 different computers and 4 different operating systems, Windows based. And lots of Captivate USB drivers.
I have tried Kies, odin one click, mass storage, debugging on, off, everything I can think off.
I tried 2 different Roms, (Apex 7 and 10.1) 3 different kernels and 6 or more factory resets. MTP is listed under apps but when I plug in the USB cable I don't see it under running tasks.
I have a Captivate I896 running Gingerbread I9000 software. I would like to go back to stock but without USB I can not run the software, (computer does not see Captive in download mode or in recovery mode.)
Would anyone know how to troubleshoot this, is there a way to debug the software and see just what is happening on the phone.
Dam you have tried a lot of things... lol
I have a suggestion... have you try 'adb'?
Let me see If understand right...the problem is that ODIN is not recognizing your device and you want to go back to stuck? you don't specify if you can transfer files between your computer and phone...and also if you can connect with 'adb'.
Probably was you micro usb on your phone got damage...have you been experimenting with a jig?
ya I have tried adb and when I type in adb shell I get a response of no device found. and no the only thing that went in to the usb connector ever, was the Samsung usb micro cable. I think I will take it to Samsung next week if I can find the service center around me, I think it is still under warranty.
Check to make sure the cables you're trying are data/charging cables. My stock cable went out so I found one I had in the closet. The one I found would charge but no data passed (ie. PC wouldn't see it).
Hi everybody, my problem is simple and dumb... i bought a Gtab 8.9 for Christmas, it's working fine and i'm very satisfied, but i'm stuck with the default firmware, honeycomb 3.1, and sometimes it kinda freezes, and i wanted to try a newer, 3.2 or maybe ICS firmware... and before flashing some mod i would like to see if there's any available from kies... well, it's been more than a month and i can't seem to be able to properly connect it to my pc/laptop with kies and the usb cable... i tried re-installing several times kies, did the connection error/unplug/uninstall drivers/reinstall driver stuff countless times on both desktop and laptop, but kies always ends up saying "device error-unplug" or "device error-reboot"... kies wireless works fine but i can't search for new firmwares, the cable works fine and i can charge and/or transfer files in a breeze... i looked for some usb settings on the tab but found nothing... what am i missing? every time i plug the tab it goes straight on autoplay, and kies won't recognize it... if i turn it off and plug it kies doesn't find it either, nothing changes.... can anyone help?

I don't remember too well, but have you checked the USB settings at the (I think) Applications section at Settings? Anyways, Kies...well, I don't expect too much from it reliability-wise. Sometimes it bricks tabs when updating (already happened in this forum). If it still doesn't work, hey, see it as a good sign. Something preventing you dealing with that thing!
