Anyone else having problems with connecting to Kies???

The current version is not compatible, we're waiting on Samsung to update it.

Based in UK and on Win 7.

Works on mine too, but i have 64bit windows 7. Not a huge fan of Kies tho.

I'm on Win7 64-bit and latest kies, says can't identify device or something like that.

Dont have an SGS2 yet, but i know my tab wont connect to kies unless I'm using stock launcher. If I'm using adw/launcherpro, it wont connect to kies at all. Thought I would mention this, just in case.

Kies not working surprise surprise.
Glad everything else is working brilliantly.

Ok, I uninstalled KIES and reinstalled the latest version found on here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Telephony-SMS-GSM/Kies.shtml
Now I connect just fine.

I cant even connect my device to my Vista pc in debugging mode.... My pc shows the two drives but I cant open them just says insert disk when I click on either????

Have you tried Kies Air?
Supposedly it works better with the phone and much easier.
It uses any web browsers to upload or down info into and out of your phone. Pretty awesome stuff.

I deleted twlauncher.apk as I don't intend to use it. Kies worked fine before and won't connect now. But Kies air works great.
Could someone post the twlauncher.apk for me so I can put it back for now.
Thanks

i think ill only use if there ever a update for phone as seems to be a dodgy program lol

I cant get it to work either. even with the version posted in the thread here i cant get past "connecting"

Is it possible to update firmware with Kies air? I tried it but it just seemed to be for transferring music/photos.

Honestly, Kies has never worked for me. Not on my Cappy nor my SGS and truthfully it doesn't really matter. There are so many other ways to do backups and transfers that work much better. Also if you are worried about updates, someone will have it posted within the hour.

Also the "keep connection" problem here.
It just gets no connection. Yesterday and before yesterday it was working (even with root) but now it's not working anymore...
Don't know why..

I recently tried to put the DI18 modem on my 2.2 and it took me back to 2.1. So I went back to 2.2 and in th process I lost my root, and I'm getting force close messages. And I try to reroot my device to switch to a back up of my old 2.2 butnone of the drivers will work, and I've tried it on 3 computer 2 with 7 one wth xp and ill try on vista when my computer works. I've also tried the z4root app but it just force closes and does nothing. What can I do? Or does anyone have advice.... I posted this somewhere else and since I'm new I guess I put it on the wrong section

Once you get your connection issues resolved, Odin is your friend.

Uninstall the device from your computer via Device Manager. Then install the Sammy drivers, then plug your phone in.

[Q] Rooting with Windows XP?

So I plan on rooting my Epic to cwm3/ext4 and all, but the only PC I have in my house is a Windows XP. My question is, will the Samsung Drivers work on an old Windows XP computer, and if so, would you recommend it?
Thanks.

I think so I don't see it being a problem since the drivers are made for windows in general
So I think you'll be ok

I guess you're right. I'm just worried that it's too old. I'll probably hold off for a bit until I get further confirmations. Thanks though.
It will work fine on windows xp as long as your system recognizes your epic.

Windows XP is fine. Just install.the drivers.

The drivers work fine on XP/Vista/7.
I have one-clicked, odined, adb-ed and so on from both XP and 7 machines.
Easiest way to determine if your drivers are good is to run Odin and put your phone into download mode (boot holding the 1 key) and then plug it in. If a com port shows up in Odin you are good to go.

That's what my problem has been. The on click worked and mass storage works but when I try to put into download mode computer comes back with not recognized or malfunctioning so might just be the computer I'm not sure

Not so fast, guys...
...I had a bit of a phone hiccup today and had to ODIN back to stock EL30.
I decided to run the Sprint TV app to see if it would give me that message about some content being accessible over WiFi. No such luck. However, it automatically checked for an update, downloaded it, and when the app restarted after updating, VIOLA!
So you'll want to ODIN back to stock, update the app, then get root and use Root Explorer/Ti Backup/whatever to copy it to your SD card.
Orrrr...I can just save you the trouble and post the .apk
If that's allowed....?

[Q] Not able to connect to computer at all?

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem where I cannot connect to my computer at all. I have tried installing all the drivers and I even reset my phone back to stock. Nothing is working. I cannot even connect to Odin. Can anybody help? Currently running stock touchwiz on Telus i747. Cannot connect to windows 7 or Mac.
Things I have tried:
Resetting phone to full stock
Reinstalling drivers
Reinstalling Kies
Trying different roms
Trying different cables
Trying different computers
I will connect the phone to the computer and nothing will show up at all. The computer just isn't recognizing it, yet it charges.

Not right now. I reset the whole thing to see if that would work and I still can't connect. Should I root it again?

It has nothing to do with rooting.
If your on stock, have you tried installing Kies?
Edit your original post to what steps you have done as your problem is too vague.

Try to uninstall the drivers you already have.(im pretty sure the prograam is like samsung mobile something). then dowlload samsung kies and it should install the drivers for you! then if you still are running in to problems you should click troubleshoot with Kies and it should work fine because its gonna reinstall the drivers again...
just wondering when u insert ur phone does it make a sound to ur computer does it say anything is connected ?

Have you tried accessing your phone through the AirDroid app? It allows you to upload and manage your files from your Web browser. It's not a fix to your problem but it could help in the immediate future.

Windows 8 not reading s3 at all

Even with drivers installed the phone still wont get recognized. It charges. Just wont detect it. At one point it did. Then all i seen was that the usb connected notification on my phone kept disappearing and reapearing then eventually stopped. Any suggestions
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I was unable to get my s3 recognized on W8 at first too untill i used the drivers on this page W8 Drivers
Uninstall any current drivers
Restart Computer
Install drivers from linked page
At this point I plugged in my phone and it went through the process of identifying and all that good stuff and still wouldn't be seen until i did another restart, all has been great since
Thanks for the reply but after i tried that it stll wont identify the phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
When you install the drivers for the phone, set compatibility mode to win7 and it should work fine. I personally think win8 sucks I got the pro version for $15 bucks thru that loophole when it first went on sale, used it for about a week and went back to win7 I have alot of games that won't work on win8 so **** that

Works fine with mine, and I didn't install any drivers.... Uninstall all the drivers and Kies, and hook it up... Windows Update will get em for you...
