Help Samsung Kies Problem

Hi,

I downloaded Samsung Kies and installed all of the drivers, however, whenever I connect the Galaxy into the USB all Kies says is:

"Connecting the device...
Please wait"

And it stays like that. I tired using Mass Storage but I get the error that says I need to go into Samsung Kies mode.

I've tried reinstalling Samsung Kies but that doesn't do anything...

How can I fix this?

You can't fix it per se.
Kies is crap and takes up 2Gb on your HDD.
If you do a search for kies fix you'll find out all you need to know.
 
Funny Enough,

I've had Kies working on Windows 7 ever since I got my Galaxy S back in November. I've not had it working on XP yet. I updated it earlier in the month to get my Froyo 2.2 update which worked fine, but suddenly when I updated today it done a 33meg update and now doesn't connect my Galaxy S.

Anyone else experience this with the latest update (the one "after" Kies Froyo)?

Have you tried Android Debug Bridge yet? You can get it from here

Still doesn't work.

When I plug the USB in Kies opens and starts connecting the device but stays like that and nothing happens. I also still get the same error when trying to use Mass Storage mode.
 
Hey dude, I just got my Galaxy S today and had the same problem. In installed Kies and connected my Galaxy S. It would just stay on connecting.

I restarted my MacBook(using Windows 7 Home Premium) and the phone and it connected second time round.

Just make sure in Wireless and network>USB settings, Samsung Kies is ticked.

I updated to Froyo 2.2.1 and got the hell out of Kies lol.
 
^Did you try reinstalling Kies?

I'd delete all the program files that are left behind after uninstallation as well. Factory Reset the phone and try again.

My Kies version is 1.5.3.10103_102
 
I reinstalled Kies and the Drivers again.. Got annoyed then so I decided to try it out on family laptop and it worked without any problems what-so-ever.

Laptop has Windows 7
My Computer has Windows Vista
 
I tried to update the Kies driver as well, and now I cannot connect to ANY of my apps via Wifi, or 3g, it keeps saying

"An error occurred while fetching data, (Host is unresolved: api.facebook.com.80)

I don't know why or how the kies update attempt messed with my internet connection on my phone via wifi or data, and I don't want to have to reset my phone to factory condition but If that's the only way, I can.

Can anyone help me understand what happened?

My husband has a samsung captivate as well, and his connection is fine

(he hasnt updated the kies when prompted at beginning of USB connection)

Thank You
