Help Why Does Kies Stop All Phone Functions When Connected?

[SuperFlyBoy]

Hi All,

Coming from a Windows Mobile HD2 and now using a Samsung Galaxy 2 (temporarily - the screen is not as wide as an HD2), I'm wondering why the Kies software does not allow phone functions to operate when syncing?

Why do we have to manually disconnect it to regain phone operations?

This is completely different from ActiveSync - any ideas/tips?

Thanks!

My guess is to stop the sync being interrupted. You were recommended to put the iphone on airplane mode while updating to stop any interruptions. So that might be why.

Doesn't happen with me I've got full control of my phon when Kies is active. Maybe because I do sometimes have airplane mode on I'm not completly sure myself.
