Hi Guys:
I have a SGS from Bell Canada, installed Kies on my PC home computer. Was having the familiar problem of connecting the phone to the pc, but finally solved the problem, thanks to tips from this forum.
I recently upgraded to JH2 via Kies. I also have connected numerous times using mass storage option to transfer large media files.
Everything was working fine until I tried to connect to pc today (as mass storage), and got a message from computer saying "USB device not recognized". I tried to connect via Kies but no luck either.
I thought it was a problem with the USB driver. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling "Samung_USB_DRIVER_For_Mobile_Phones_x86, v 1.3.450.0", still couldn't be recognized.
The phone itself doesn't seem to know that it's connected to the pc either. It doesn't do anything, just sits there. And there's no option to unmount the internal drive from the drop down menu.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
that is exactly 100% what i had 2 days ago

for some unknown reason, it works perfectly fine without me doing anything different now.
it's like a lady's menstrual thing, comes and goes without any warning
Are you using a third party launcher?
If so try switching back to TW first.
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
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!
Hi guys
My Galaxy S is running on Darkys Rom v10.1 and its Dark Kernel. I never had problems with this but now I can't get a connection to my PC. When I plug it in it just loads the battery and my PC says that it can't detect the USB-gadget. There's not even a notification on my phone saying I have a connection to the PC.
I already re-installed Kies and the USB drivers a hundred times and even made a full factory reset on my phone but it's still not working.
Can anyone help?
Best regards beias
try installing drivers from here http://download2us.softpedia.com/dl...93/drivers/others/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
it is for x64, there you can also find for x86, worked for me just fine.
these are the drivers I installed again and again and again.. they always worked but there's still the error
have you knocked or dropped it recently?
could be a loose connection to your phone micro usb port, I am in a very similar situation and I'm cracking mine open tonight to check the insides.
Also could be the cable if you're not getting any notifications on your pc of it connecting, would try different cables too.

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!
