Hi I am having problems connecting my samsung galaxy s to the Kies software. I can connect using mass storage setting but kies does not support this setting. When I change to samsung kies setting for usb my pc displayed that there was a problem with connection and kies will not connect.

download an updated version of samsung kies, check whether it is for 32 bit or 64 bits of OS for windows based PC.Also there should be an option on your phone when you attach it to a USB port of whether to transfer file thru USB or thru kies.also turn-off debugging mode in your phone settings, usually found in the developers settings or conectivity.

hope this helps

after plugging the usb cable you need to go to menu Settings Connectivity USB USB debugging.
or just choose to see the memory and set
Settings Connectivity USB Mass storage Set.
Or yhou can use Samsung Kies, which you need to install
In Menu mode, select 1 Settings Connectivity
USB Samsung Kies Set.

Solution From your Phone, tap on Menu > Settings > Phone Settings > PC connections
Four options are available, for connection:

• Samsung Kies
• Media Player
• Mass Storage
• Ask on Connection

Select the "Ask on Connection" option and tap on the "Save button"

From now on, each time you connect your phone to your PC, you will be prompted to choose the connection type.

• To manage photos, video, playlist select "Samsung Kies"
• To Sync with the music library of Media Player.....the answer is obvious
• To rapidly transfer bulk of information from/to your phone, select "Mass Storage"

try disconnect it from samsung kies..and if it doesnt help
try the Safely Remove Hardware.
and if both of them doesnt work.
shut down ur pc and go to settings ->connectivity->and select either samsung kies or mass storage.

then reconnect and try.

go to settings select about there you will find usb connection change it to mass storage or disk.
if you want to konnect kies pc sync select pc sync.
kies is loaded inside phone memory.

I had this problem. Don't know why it is not detecting it. I just installed Kies on different pc with windows xp it worked since I had spare system at home. It seems there should be some conflicts

Set to 'Ask on Connection' from the Settings > Connectivity > USB.This way when you connect
the phone to the PC, you can select Kies.If its still not connecting, try connecting it in mass storage
mode first to install the drivers. Connect it via USB and select mass storage mode when the list
appears on the phone. You should see drivers installing on your PC screen. Then disconnect the
phone and reconnect it. This time select Kies and it should connect to the software now.

Also,you may have noticed that when you plug the phone in that a message appears saying
"close all applications" To do this press the middle button on your phone for a few seconds
until, "end all applications" appear. Once this has been done connect your phone and every thing
should work fine.

open the phone settings through the settings option in the main menu, scroll down and click on the pc connections option and select the appropriate option (mass storage for transfering files, samsung kies to access files via the kies software)

Connect to the PC then you hold the press in your phone's menu key then your phone shows connected.It is because your phone connect to pc in IDLE Mode.
