Help PC no longer recognizes phone since Gingerbread

This is annoying as all hell. I never had issues before the Gingerbread update, but now, the PC only recognizes the phone to charge it. I can't do anything with putting music on my phone, moving files, photos, etc.

I've tried about everything I can think of. Tried mass storage, tried kies mode, tried rebooting the phone while connected in both those modes, downloaded every driver that I can find.. and still nothing.

Help? Someone!?
 
I had the same issue with my Mesmerize, but i noticed that when i connected it to the pc while on charge only mode i could still access the phone driver via my computer. Try seeing if the driver shows up this way and we'll go from there.
 
Have you another computer available to try connecting it to? That might enlighten the situation as to whether or not it's the phone or the computer.
 
No I don't, but I'm also not the only person I know with this problem.

Like I said, it worked up until the Gingerbread update. And after that, I've had the problem. Even after downloading all the Samsung drivers that I can find.
 
Have you tried doing a factory reset since you did the update?

It will wipe your phone and you'll have to reload all of your apps, but that may resolve the issue.

The only other suggestion I have at this point would be to take it in to a tech center at a USCC Store and have them reflash the update to your phone. That will also wipe your phone.

I have not tried a factory reset, at least not that I recall.. I'll do that now.
 
I did the factory reset..

The OS as a whole runs smoother now. I never did a factory reset after the GB update. Which apparently I was supposed to. So everything runs smoother.

But I still have the connectivity issue.
