My advice is to uninstall Kies and not ever use it again. Its got a ton of bugs in it.

lucky you.....lol
can't see my phone just keep looking for it for ever! my phone shows MTP connected w/usb icon..... tho

Try making that your USB mode is set correctly.
...but I still recommend that you not use Kies at all until it is fixed.

Now i am able to see my data
The OP was made before JI5 update.
When i tried it today again, i am able to see my contacts, messages, etc..
btw, Kies look good... There might be bugs, but it is a very useful tool to work with...
Now i don't have to worry about losing my data between flashing ROMs..

Cant connect to pc

After rooting my phone I havnt been able to connect my thunderbolt to my pc, I have HTC sync installed but nothing. It wont even say anything is connected but it will charge the phone. I have the connect to pc set to mount as drive... any help would be appreciated
Edit your signature so people dont always have to ask what ROM you are running but here we go what ROM are you running?
Make sure you are not paying so much attention to your computer and more to the phone. Depending on what ROM you are running if you connect it to the computer the phone will show a USB connected but you have to press a button to finish the connection (on the phone) it is usually a swipe down from task bar look for it, that is how it is on the ROM I am running A05PTH3ORY. Make sure to thank me if this help you.

Im running gingeritis 3d right now. The phone only shows that its charging and nothing in the notification bar. This happened also when i was running other versions of bamf and uber bamf
Make sure all the UBS Debugging is still checked, my ROM told me to keep it checked or I would have problems. I have not tried to connect to the computer without it.

Put your phone into Internet Pass Through mode. After 30 seconds (or more, not less), put it back into Disk Drive mode.

I saw that you have sync installed, but do you have the proper drivers installed on the computer that you're using?
Also, is it just sync that isn't connecting, or can you go to "My Computer" or the equivalent and see the SD card, or does it not show up there either?
Have you disabled or removed any of the system services?

There are SEVEN versions of Gingeritus3D v1.0 to date. The specific version is actually a rather critical issue since they're not all built on the same base or use the same kernels.

you think a factory reset will fix my issue with the app

are you stock or rooted?
stock. only thing I did after the update was hold down the power button and did a forced restart.
Yeah, I'm also using the latest update, and I haven't had any problems. I'm using the connection to write this post now.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, rebooting the phone in between. That's really all I can think of, assuming it was working before.
You can probably find the older version of the app somewhere - if you're still having problems, you could try that as a fallback.

Pic message stuck in "downloading"

Anything I can do?
I have tried both Go SMS and regular native messaging app.
Normally when I get an MMS, it rings twice.
Once when it arrives and second when it downloads.
And I got a really important pic message that won't download.
HAAALP!
(Probably wrong section but no one visits Q&A.)
Restart your phone and it will download all over again automatically. Wait for it to dl and give you the notification before opening the SMS app.

Oh YOU DOG! Lol.
Restarting didn't fix the problem for me either.
Toggle wifi, mobile networks, and airplane mode until it works.
I've had this happen to me too, heck it happened last night.
And yeah, she wouldn't resend them either

I have been all day bro. It's not working.
Any other suggestions y'all?
I know the picture comes thru a Sprint network.
And Using Handcent, I was able to find the URL for the pic. But when I visit it, it just downloads a file to my phone/computer that I cannot open.

Is it off the sprint site? U try logging into your account and then accessing the file? I remember back in the day u used to be able to view all picture mail on sprint website. But that was when picmail was really only email link with thumbnails.
I know its kinda awkward to ask her to send it again, but hey, if u have no other choice? Maybe abduct her phone when she's in bathroom and send it to your email, lol. That way it should pretty much always go thru.

[Q] Help with Kies via wi-fi

Ok, here it goes... I'm trying to set up Kies wi-fi, and I'm having a hell of a time with it. I've went through and read everything about it, tried the so called 'guide', which is completely USELESS if you have norton 360, and I still cant get this damn thing to connect. Here's what I did: I installed the software on my computer. Set it up to the point where whenever I open the kies app on my phone, it starts the pc software. I press scan for devices, it finds my computer but it just wont connect. I've tried turning my firewall off, I've downloaded allshare and installed it on my computer to see if it had any additional drivers, and still nothing. This thing is driving me nuts, and all reality, I've read that its crap software, but I dont care... I still would like to see for myself, and really just figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. BTW I'm running windows 7, with the latest norton 360, and cleanrom on my phone.
Any ideas anyone?
Edit: I was able to get it to recognize my phone, but now getting a "no sim card inserted" error message.
Are you running kies in administrator? What about reinstalling kies or disabling Norton for an hour or two to troubleshoot

Yeah, Ive tried all of that. Ive searched for the past 3 days when I have time, and it seems like verizons note 2 isnt supported yet. Im going to update my rom this weekend and see if that might fix the problem.

[Q][Help] TWLauncher Crash loop

So i just restored my Note to factory settings and now when it boots up TWLauncher keeps crashing. Anyone able to help?
Bonus Information:
- Pre restoring i had downloaded a 3rd party app
- My phone side internet connection stopped working after a while
- I had installed a bloatware disabling app, in which i disabled multiple apps, maybe it included an important TW component
- I was using KK Launcher, and not TW, also I was using KK Locker and not stock
- I have Clockwork mod installed
- Odin works and it stays on the downloading page and doesn't do anything that I am able to see within 5 minutes
- My phone is a Rogers variant, hardware is same as At&t and I read that they are pretty much same in every way except the custom apps each telephone company installs
- Keyboard doesn't work
- Able to access setting and not anything else
Please help? Any solution is a good one ('^') -sniff sniff

My guess is you answered your own question there. I pretty sure there was a teenie weenie portion of a valuable function you disables with that app.
Did you back up?
Try emergency firmware recovery with Kies?

Yes kies will still work. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc, select firmware upgrade in kies, type in model number, serial number, let it do it's thing. You'll then be on the latest firmware

Not sure what it is as I have never had to do that.......I think some of the info you put in should be in ALL CAPITOL LETTERS????
Not shouting....just an example. But that could be recovering IMEI#

im using all caps, but i think the main problem might be its not properly connecting? it keeps saying "connecting". Also maybe its because my phone is a variant?
