Hi there,
I recently bought galaxy s3 mini and I have a problem with connecting it to my computer to kies via wi-fi. When I use cable it works fine, but when I try via wi-fi phone shows it's connected and kies on computer is stuck on 'connecting' (app is responding). Did anyone encounter this problem? How to solve it?
I have latest 4.1.2 official rom and lates kies app.
Thanks for help!
edit: It seems you simply have to have patience. It connected, but after loong time, when I forgot about it. Sorry for spamming then
It's never been slow for me. Check you have a good browser such as chrome and the latest version of java

Hi,
I've installed the lates Kies (1.5.3.10093_80) and have three problems:
1) When i try to update Kies to 81 release it doesn't want to find any updates. I tried two ways: from Kies application and manually start MCS.Thunder.Update.exe. From Kies it never finds any updates and MCS.Thunder.Update.exe crashes after some time before it find anything to update
2) Phone connects to the PC fine and i can see it in Kies, but i can't do anything, browse contacts or calendar. When i try to save contacts on PC i receive "The device is in use. Stop using the device then try again". I tried to find any application on PC which can use it without any success.
3) On home notebook Kies finds phone OK but at work it is endlessly says: Connecting to the phone. I've already tried to change COM port number, settings for USB connection ... nothing helps.
Any ideas?
PS All device drivers seems to be installed OK
I have exactly the same problem as you mentioned under point 2. Same holds for the agenda by the way.
I just updated to 93-81 (automatically via KIES)
Does anyone have a solution?
Me too having this problem...
Same issues for me. I've just discovered Android Manager Wifi which gives all we need to save and restore contacts. Nice to use until Kies issues are resolved.
All of these issues are well known and almost everyone is having them. There was a standalone massive thread about Samsung Kies and its issues, but I can't find it. You need to get used to it - usually im my case the Mass Storage is activated after restarting my phone. As I use tethering rather often, I usually have to try connecting and disconnecting the phone several times until I'm lucky.
When it comes to Kies update itself, that is another disaster - I usually try it on different networks - if it can't find updates at home and I know there is one, I just go and try it at the university wifi. The same with firmware updates, etc.
I undo the oneclick lag fix v 2.1.2 by ryanza and it works like a charm now
thnak you very much nick_goh!
Thats was it. Undo OCLF and Kies starts working as it should.
Lagfix is the problem
Yes, the lagfix is the problem, but who can fix the lag fix or the kies!?
laffix
What if you are experiencing that same "Device is in use" issue but did NOT ever install the lagfix ?
Unless theres something that went on in rooting your phone as that is the only non-factory thing that I ever did!
I already installed several apps to try to find the culprit that might be causing this but no luck. I'm almost considering going back to factory and re-installing all samsung updates from scratch on. ....unless there is another way
Hi Everyone!
I need a bit of help here.
My samsung galaxy s running froyo ( Baseband version - I90000XXJPP; Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 root (at) sep-35 # 1; Build - FROYO.XXJPO ) and I've been trying to connect it to kies, so I can keep up with the official updates. However, I've been trying for a week now and nothing. I get message saying connected to kies on the phone but on kies itself it gets stuck on "connecting" .
I'm at a loss on what to do here. Can anyone help?
Also, I was hoping to find out if, from the above info on my phone) can you tell that my phone has been rooted at some point???
Thanks in advance to everyone, looking forward to reading all your replies!
hello,
I have found that with every update to Kies, before I can get my phone to connect, I have to first set my phone to USB Mass Storage, connect to PC and wait for Kies to tell me to change phone settings to Samsung Kies, at which time I disconnect phone from PC (disconnect properly by ejecting from the system tray to prevent corruption of SDcard), change settings on phone to connect using Samsung Kies, then reconnect phone to PC with Kies running....works every time for me.
Its a bit of a pain, but its been the only way that I can consistently get it to connect to Kies...hope it helps for u!

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried it and it's a no go! Still stuck on "connecting"
Hi, what worked for me is that i had to unmount both my internal sd and external sd, that was the only way i could get it to connect, but in doing that you cant actually use kies for anything other than updating firmware as i said it worked for me but it may not work for all i dont know.
Good luck

it's hard to figure out the solutions as I've encountered this prob b4 also...after numerous times trying to install various Samsung USB drivers and Kies versions, I managed to get it connected to Kies and upgrade it to Froyo, but it ends up with my SGS bricked...so then, I flash with Odin with 2.2.1 android version and after many failures to get connected with my comp, I managed to get I9000XXJPU into my SGS...my advice, just try your luck connecting your SGS with your comp...check the problems occurred when the comp trying to install your SGS and install the missing drivers...
I have just flashed my new Galaxy Note to Kingdroid NoteMania , Everything is fine but i can't use kies anymore ,it keeps trying to connect and nothing happens
so i was wondering if this is normal ?? also if it's possible to use kies on custom rom
Thanks
Same problem, using Kingdroid also. The USB detection doesnt work for some reasons. I'm using the Kies WIFI sync, a bit slower, but its better than no connection at all.
Ahh just realise you mean connecting with kies.. lol guess its because custom roms cannot use stock kies as it will update the software too
Kies needs touchwizz to connect. Also if phones rooted it likely won't connect either.

My phone just tried to install the latest firmware update (via Kies) I think it might be 4.0.4...whatever came out today for those with the Open Germany installed. Kies keeps freezing at 47% and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried to use PC ODIN to re-install the previous firmware since I can't find today's release for Germany anywhere...but all I'm getting is a yellow light in PC ODIN...no green...won't install. Anyone else have this issue and found a fix? Could it be my USB cable? It's not a factory cable...but it worked last time.
FIXED!!!
I put the USB cord into one of the slots in the BACK of the pc...and it worked! I remember reading something about the front PC ports being like a USB hub and it not working correctly. Hope this helps someone as frustrated as I was!
ICS 4.0.4 OTA update available - India
110.87MB ICS 4.0.4 update available in India, Seems bit more smoother than 4.0.3.
Dear xda members!

The problem is ,that I want to flash the stock android to it,but I cant connect the phone to a pc( the issue is,when I connect it ,half a second it is fine half a second it is disconnected and it goes on and on.Tried 3 cables and multiple usb ports btw).
