As I cannot connect my SGS2 to my Mac via Kies can anyone suggest how if I want to upgrade to ICS how do I do it.Samsung have fobbed me off with promises of several call-backs to see what they can offer as a solution but none of them have been forthcoming. Great CS from Samsung!!

I'm having a very frustrating time connecting my new SGS2 via USB to my PC.I connect my SGS2 to my computer, I get an error Android MTP Failed! This is on my Windows 7 PC. So I thought I'd try it on my Windows 7 notebook = same error! So finaly, I tried it on my Windows 7 based slate, guess what = Android MTP Failed! I urgently need to transfer my Outlook info to my SGS2.

I have recently got a new Galaxy S2 on Vodafone and when I try and connect it to the Kies application, I keep getting the error message;
Reconnect the devise in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) Mode.Current connection mode is not supported by Kies.
I have connected my SGS2 to Kies in my laptop. Then I quit from Kies and started using my phone (leaving my phone charging via USB). Now, when I start Kies once again, it says device not connected and my phone is not is Kies mode. If I replug my USB at either end (laptop or mobile) it goes to Kies mode and connecting fine.
My doubt here is, how do I reconnect to Kies in laptop without replug my USB, once after I quit from Kies mode in my phone.
Is there any way I can tell my phone to go to Kies mode?
I have tried numerous times over the last couple of days to upgrade my SGS2 to ICS. After I realised connecting to Kies Air wouldn't work, I downloaded and installed the latest version of Kies onto my laptop.The first time I tried to download via USB, the phone connected to Kies but said I could not upgrade unless my battery was fully charged. Odd, as it would be charging while linked to my laptop during upgrading anyway, but I thought I would try again in the morning when my phone was fully charged from overnight charging.
So I tried this morning when charged to 100%, and later this evening when half charged, and Kies refuses to recognise my phone. It keeps saying connecting, connecting, then I get a message saying it cannot connect. I have disconnected and reconnected umpteen times to no avail. I have run the troubleshooter a few times and reinstalled the Kies drivers two or three times. Again, to no avail.I have seen various threads on here about USB debugging etc. and I have tried to tick then re-untick that, but no joy there.I'm starting to think it would be easier just to do without this bloody update and just wait for the SGS3 to come out.
I have a S2 with 2.3.3 installed. I did upgrade previously using Kies. I now want to connect the phone to Kies, but it does not work properly.I connect the phone to the PC and it is detected by Windows. I can even browse the files in Windows Explorer. When I start Kies, it just says "Connecting..." but fails after a while with error "Can not start service on device". The phone screens shows that I am connected to Kies.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn my Blackberry Storm 2 syncing Outlook was a breeze. To achieve the same on the SGS2 seems to be a bit of a mystery!
I downloaded a 14 day trial of Deja Office thinking this would make the process easier - seems I made a mistake! I find it very tricky and at best, temeramental. I've also tried KIES but this seems to be universally disliked!
So what are the options? I don't mind paying for a 3rd part App to achieve this, though I expected this to be a fundamental feature. My Outlook Contacts number about 1400 & I'm not overly fussed about using Google unless there are real benefits to do so.
I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything I just got a galaxy s and am looking to unlock it.I'm trying to install Kies and it keeps aborting the install on step 4.No matter what options I try to choose, it gets to step 4 when it tries to download some more components, the progress bar goes up to 1% then it aborts itself.I've tried this on 3 different PCs (XP sp1 and sp3) to no avail.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've read a little bit and it seems that there is a problem with Kies and the Samsung Galaxy. My wife has the Captivate. At best, I am able to connect via USB Mass Storage Mode by manually copying songs or pictures, but I am unable to do so with Windows 7 64bit. I tried with an XP Machine I get the same thing.
Fortunately, the Samsung has OS 2.2 installed. When 2.3 or 3.0 officially comes out, I won't be able to update the firmware.
Has anyone found a reliable solid workaround solution to be able to copy contacts and pics etc to Galaxy? Samsung support is pretty much useless.
What is the safest....best way to upgrade to Lollipop? Going thru Kies or OTA (with WiFi on). I just received my notice on my S5 from Verizon to update the software.

Devices are recognised and they report a connection - then Kies immediately reports a disconnect.I then tried Kies via USB, the connecting symbol spins forever, no connection. Telling the SII to act as memory stick, however works. how I can make Kies talk with my SII?

I tried rooting my Galaxy S5 SM-G900T and after the root process with Odin and TWRP in the last step when I rebooted the phone it got stuck on a boot loop in the Samsung logo, so I had no choice but to do a Factory reset which even the OS got deleted in the process. I'm downloading the 5.1.1 firmware for my phone on my computer but I have questions on how to install it on my phone now, because obviously PC is not recognizing my phone or it is not letting me access the storage or sd card once connected. I have Kies 3 in my pc and TWRP on the phone. Which way can I install the firmware on my phone again?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got my S2 a few months ago with O2 and I noticed that they had released the firmware for ICS. So i was forced to download the truly terrible Kies software, and after 24 hours of it not even connecting to my phone, I actually got it working. Of course, now, it wont even recognise that i can get ICS. I says I have the latest firmware -which I dont- and wont even let me search for a new one!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just tried to backup my phone on my PC using Kies. I excluded all the media files because I have them on my PC anyway, and not all that much spare space. However, then I started to get an error message that my PC was low on disk space.
I checked and my free hard drive space had gone from around 6GB to about 60 megs.
Does anyone know where the Kies backups are stored on my PC, so I can see if the backup was the culprit?
In anticipation of ICS I'm trying to backup my wife's SGSII. I'm using Kies as I don't know if there's any viable alternative.My problem is with backing up the Schedule (calendar?) component.All the other bits seem to backup ok.However, just selecting Schedule (on its own or with other parts) it takes ages 'preparing' and then gets to 98% before hanging and then failing due to some unexpected error.I'm on the latest version of Kies, and Windows 7 64bit (tried on two computers, both W7 64).

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am just playing with my new SII and I am kind of frustrated trying to sync photos/music with Kies. I want to use Kies as it compresses the photos, which is perfect, but it copies all photos into the DCIM/camera folder on the phone. How do I change the destination location for photos/music please? Plus can I transfer folders so the folder structure is kept intact and not all dumped into 1 folder like it is doing now?
