Thanks. That saved time to everyone. Surprised that some claimed to have their phones recognised after simple installation (without flashing, etc.)

Sorry for the bump,but where's this mass storage mode exactly?...

That's 1.
Today I sent it to the service (Hat Romania) and said it had a issue but that they fixed it.It had Android 2.1.It seems it had issues.
I tried the method got-petrol mentioned here(reinstalling drivers)

Samsung Mobile : Community

I tried turning debugging thing off(before that method)
Nothing.Nada.

EDIT:Wait,why there is a Galaxy Lite and Galaxy Spica individual forum?Aren't they the same?!

If you have installed the correct USB drivers then when you connect your phone to your PC, you will see a USB connected Icon on the phone. To See the SD card from your PC, you need to Mount the SD card from the phone.

Menu
Notifications
USB Connected
Mount.

You will now see the SD card and all it's contents as an extrenal drive on the PC. Copy and delete to your hearts content.

If you wish to manage your contacts I'd suggest doing it via your google account, as it's much easier. Just re-sync back to your phone when your finished.

There is in fact 3 forums here all about the same phone.

Samsung Galaxy Portal forums

and

Samsung Galaxy Spica forums

The GT-i5700 goes by these names depending on where you live.

As regards to why there's Galaxy Lite, Galaxy Spica and Galaxy Portal forums, when in fact they ARE EXACTLY they are all the same phone is probably an error when they forums were set up. It has already been asked to merge these, but word is it's too difficult or too hard, or time consumming to do.

Whn you connect the phone via USB do you see USB connected on the phone notification bar?

Menu
Notifications
Press USB Connected
Mount.

Also I suggest you remove KIES and install Samsung's NPS software.

NPS Software (160Mb).

Hi. When I connet up the phone via a usb cable there is no icon in the notification bar. I've loaded the usb driver from the NPS disc and have PC studio and KIES installed. Can't see the phone at all. Any ideas??

Hello,
thank you for all the previous posts

Is there any new information about the connection problem with Kies. I have tried everything here, but have had no luck.

Kies worked for the first few weeks, then stopped working when I tried to connect the other day. I had not tried to connect in a week or so, I have no idea of the event that may have broken it.

I also have the Kies-mini. This connects approximately 60% or 70% of the time.

By not connecting I mean I see on my phone the image of a USB connector and it says "connected". I have a USB cable connected between the phone and Windows 7 computer. When I run Kies (latest version 1.3.5), I see the pop-up box saying "connecting the device… please wait", but will never establish the connection. For the first few weeks it connected fine.

I also have mini-Kies. About 60% or 70% of the time it will make it to the second screen showing my phone and saying I have the latest version.

I'm in the USA. I have a Samsung Vibrant. I have no files with long extensions (I have used the FileSearcherforKiesFix program mentioned above). I have unmounted my SD card and reformatted the SD card. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies and the drivers several times. I have downloaded and installed the softpedia drivers.

Any additional information? Thanks.
Barry.

Solved!

I uninstalled the latest version of Kies and installed a previous version, 1.5 .1 10071_32. It now works like a champ.

Hi, I have a slightly different problem. Running Kies v2 with Gingerbread on my S2.

Phone is recognised and i can synch et no problem (even did a FW upgrade via Kies) but...

1) It says that my phone is not supported.
2) If I try to delete or edit anythign on my phone then Kies freezes and I have to use programme manager to quite it.
3) I cannot log into my Samsung account - it says wrong user name or password. But I can log in fine directly from my phone.

Any ideas?

To update samsung vibrant with a mac, use the mini kies

tried everything suggested in this forum (thanks for the tips!) and still kies would not connect to my device (samsung note) - turned off my note - plugged it into usb / pc - restarted the note and it connected with kies
