From the Google search I guess I'm one of several million who have spent hours trying to sync my phone and computer. Apple might not be as robust as android but at least you can plug in and get to work in the very same day. I've been screwing around with Android for the better part of 18 months now and can't get any answers. I've called the help desk for samsung, att&t and Google/android and it's all the same:
Install Sam*sungs New PC Stu*dio for the dri*vers
Go to Set*tings – About phone – USB set*tings and choose Ask on connection.
Go to Set*tings – Appli*ca*tions – Devel*op*ment and turn on USB debugging.
Con*nect the phone via USB, choose Mass stor*age from the menu, slide the noti*fi*ca*tion drawer down and select “Select to copy files to/from your computer”.
My first samsung Galaxy S had a screen that went dead after 5 months and I lost every photo of the Summer and fall of 2010, both of my children's birth days, summer vacation and autumn photos and video. So let's just say I'm at my wits end with Samsung. It was so difficult and mind numbing to find any information on syncing my phone I gave up and just emailed the photos and videos to my self - so much for a "smart phone"
However my "new" phone which is really a rebuild turns on and off at random and I'm expecting sudden death any day. so I've found a new sense of urgency to try and get this pig connected however it seems unlikely - you are my last hope Android Forum - you are my last hope Android Forum
When I plug it in to the USB the computer says in a bubble in the bottom right that Android is plugged in but that's it. I have Kies installed and the other zip given to me by Samsung and android help. And Believe I've restarted both the phone and computer about a 1000 times - sometimes connected sometimes not.
