I got it from Samsung yesterday as its now released for the portal, but it did not work, just like the pc suite that came with the phone

Cheers

That's a very recent change that kies supports the Spica/Portal.

This must mean the official v2.1 is close, as a samsung rep reported on a blog I read that the update will be delivered and installed via Kies.

samsung claims only support Omnia at this moments of time.
 
For all those who are having trouble recognizing their phone from Kies/NPS/adb...

Unplug your phone from USB and do the following...

If you are on android 1.5 (cupcake) version:
-- Go to... Main Menu >> Settings >> About Phone >> Additional Settings >> (here, make sure "Mass storage only" is unchecked. Make it unchecked if it is not.)

If you are on android 2.1 (eclair) version:
-- Go to... Main Menu >> Settings >> Applications >> Development >> (here, make sure "USB debugging" is checked. Make it checked if it is not.)

That's it! Plug-in your phone again and your device should get recognized fine.

Hope this helps!

Update:

-- Just published screenshot and all that at my blog here http://voxigee.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/samsung-kies-for-galaxy-spica/
-- Tried it with one of v2.1 (Eclair) ROM and working fine, couldn't yet get it to work with v1.5 (cupcake) though.
 
I followed the instructions of gurdeep still no luck, kies is not able to detect my device. Getting an infinite message "Connecting to device... please wait"

Samsung might be good in their hardware but they are utter failure in software, Take PC studio or Kies both does not have even a professional appearance. Seems to be a software developed by interns under the guidance of a first time product manager :-)
 
@svkndv

Please try switching your usb ports while connecting and also keep scanning for hardware changes from the Device Manager. Sometimes the Serial ports acquired by samsung drivers are not refreshed automatically. Wish u luck :)
 
there is some thing wrong because it will only connect in mass strage mode but mass storage mode is offf so i took the sd card out and now its telling me to put in the sd card
 
been trying for 4 hours and still no joy so i give up has it got some thing to do with it being on t mobile
 
No.

If you're running vista, make sure the drivers have been installed correctly and windows sees the phone correctly.

If you have NPS loaded, close it
 
i installed it on my daugters xp laptop and it could only find mass strorage mode but it was turned off
