I was recently given a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i.
When I connect it to my pc, running Win XP, the pc doesn't recognise the phone and I can't access any of the files on it. I had a look online and downloaded Kies. When I run Kies I can now access my phone although Kies displays a message that it doesn't support the GT-S5830i. Having to run Kies just to access my phone on my pc is a huge PITA as Kies teakes forever to start up, sand slows everything else down
Is there a way round this so I can get rid of Kies and just have my pc treat my phone like another storage device? I'm not bothered about synching everything and all that stuff; moving images off the phone and putting usic on is about all I want to do.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
