Just got my SGS2 unlocked, a model from India. Everything works flawlessly except music syncing.
I bought a Lexar 32Gb class 10 SDHC card, and I have a massive mp3 library.
I am using Media monkey to sync, but randomly it seem to stop syncing, I have also tried songbird. The usb also stay unresponsive from windows until i hit the home button on the phone forcing exiting Samsung kies USB (btw what is that??)
Is there a way to avoid samsung kies? Or Update it?
I am on Win7, my phone is as follow:
PDA:I9100XWKE8
PHONE:I9100DDKE2
CSC:I9100ODDKE2
Is there any samsung firmware update that I can do myself, or am I at the latest
Any other way to access the SDcard maybe samsung kies is the problem?
Start the task manager and kill the two Kies processes. You don't need them for USB file access.
The KF2 firmware is later and my impression is people report it as stable. KG1 was supposedly a test of android 2.3.4, and KG2 is quite new and I just don't know. So for now KF2 is a pretty safe bet (I'd love to be corrected if wrong about that).
XXKF2 (Polish) official firmware is posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
Don't worry about:
1) 'Polish'?: If you are wiping user data and starting fresh, just press the button on the bottom right to change language when it starts up (the polish on that button means "change language") and reset your browser's homepage.
2) rooting?: Flashing an official ROM is not rooting.
Might help others...
Download Samsung Kies from their website, it will tell you about update.
Mine got upgraded to:
PDA: KF3
PHONE: KE4
CSC: KF3 (INU)
It also updated the driver for the USB on my Win7 machine
Well, even with everything up2date.
USB syncing still hangs in the middle of a long transfer.. sometimes just after transfering 2 songs..
Is there a way to enable a "Mass storage mode" for the external SD instead of the MTP
I just copy and paste music and video to external sd card using usb mass storage mode .
Settings >> wireless and network>> USB utilities for mass storage mode .
jje
So, Using the SD as a Mass Storage worked flawlessly for me. I synced my massive library with no issue.
Really, Samsung MTP sucks, and its actually MUCH slower than the mass storage mode. (When it actually work..)

suddenly i lost the usb connect with the pc. i cant use the usb mass storage. but previously there was no problem at all. now when i want to use the usb mass storage. i click "connect storage to pc" then plug in the usb cable. but after that nothing happened. the phone still showing "connect storage to pc". then i clicked it. it tells me to remove the cable... or just charging the phone. any advise on it? thank you so much.
PS. i am in vallianrom 2.4.2
This is so obvious that I'm sure you've already done it, but have you restarted your PC? If so, try it in a different USB port to rule out whether it's the PC or not.

i have tried to reboot my pc and my phone. tried on different usb port and even other pc. none of them can recognize my phone. very weird
I find in such cases a total removal of USB devices on that port followed by a removal of all Kies folders registry entries etc then reinstall works .

If it doesn't work on other PCs then it's more likely it's the phone that's the problem. If you have CWM or Titanium then I'd recommend doing a backup and doing a hard reset, just to see if it works after that.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

i have wiped out everything and install the rom again but still couldnt get it done.
Hi m8, I hate to say it, but I'm afraid that if by trying with another pc, the phone does not connect, you'll have to factory reset it. I had a similar problem and that was the only solution for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
try:
settings - applications - development - untick usb debugging retick it and try again.
It's more likely to be a problem on your phone's usb...
I had this problem on my X10 and it would only charge but never connect to mass storage... The only solution was to send it to be serviced...
Meanwhile a good solution to transfer files to your phone is to use any wireless sync app.. Like sugarsync, dropbox or Awesome Drop.
I strongly recommend using Awesome Drop for small files... Just download the app on your phone, go to their website on your pc and simply drop the file on the designed space and it will be synced with ur phone...
Very fast and easy... I never connect my phone to my PC again for file transfer...
I wouldn't use it for large file transfers though... Even though I have successfully transfered a ROM (250mb), some people had problems transfering large files through Awesome Drop... I recommend dropbox or sugarsync for those...

Kies is not working after upgrading to latest OTA. It never worked over USB but workedover over WiFi. Now it says something along "Sim card not inserted". So I cannot put my music in my tablet... Is there any other method to transfer files???
Sent from my SGT10.1 using XDA Premium
IDK if this will help, but you could try using a 3rd party storage system such as dropbox, but it will take longer as you have to upload the files from PC/Computer to dropbox, then download them onto your tab... check what build number you have (setting>about device) as that can also help iidentify you're problem (I had my own problem with Kies, solved by a thread called "Messed up by Android 3.2? Here's a way back." (i am not allowed to post links, sorry just google it))
I had a problem with build P7510UEKGM (or something like that)
Maybe even try the troubleshooting feature on the usb mode of Kies?
Hope I could help
Kies is a program that often fails, I have read numerous posts about people having to reinstall Kies 3/4 times in order to get it working again properly for their device.
Try to reinstall or try to remove your drivers from your pc, install Kies, and it's drivers, when you connect the tab again.

Hi,
I bought a AT&T SG2 unlocked phone and now I want a relevant Desktop software for Windows.
It seems without that I cant store any data in it.
Please pardon my ignore if this is well known question, Because I goggled and couldn't find anything.
Thanks.
This is the I9100 (international S2) forums. Anyway, if you want to transfer files to/from your SGH-I777, turn on USB debugging and use your phone like a normal memory card, or install Samsung Kies.
Your correct forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301
Take a look at MyPhoneExplorer -- it lets you sync contacts/calendar/tasklist with Outlook, and it can also do file & music sync.
Hi everyone,
I am in some trouble. I have accidentally deleted all my photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 before a couple of hours. They were stored in Camera folder of my phone Gallery. Plus I have deleted one hidden folder as well which contained my personal data (videos) which was very important.
I know I should have been more careful, but I cant help it now. I searched on internet about how can I recover my lost data, but didn't come to any conclusion. Now, you guys on this forum are my last hope to get my data back if I can.
Is there ANY way its possible to recover the data that I have deleted? Please let me know guys, I need your expertise to resolve this problem.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-I9100 model] [ Android version: 2.3.3]
Thanks a million...
Hi. I want to help you and I help how much as possible so.
I see somewhere can you search in Google: how to recover deleted photos/data on android ?

Hi Jokesy,
Thanks a lot for the link. I went through it, I installed that software as well. but the problem is that, the software shows ONLY my computer hard drive. it just doesn't show my mobile disk.
Means, I have connected my mobile through the USB cable. So it shows "connected" on my mobile screen. But that software just doesn't pick it up. I can restore the files that I have deleted from my PC but not from my mobile. I haven't kept the option for USB debugging ON, its OFF. But I am not sure if that has anything to do with this. Because when I tried with USB debugging: ON, it still doesn't show my mobile storage in the software console. I don't have any external SD card, I have lost my data from my PHONE memory, the one we get inbuilt [11GB].
Is there a way I can make the software detect my phone memory and try to restore my deleted data? Any help would be appreciated

You need to connect your phone as mass storage.
Enable USB debugging under application settings, then reconnect your phone again to your Pc

I did that, but for some reasons, its just not showing my mobile as external storage. It just shows me 2 new drives like Removable Disk H: and Removable Disk I:. But when I click on them it asks me to "please insert a disk into drive". So basically when I do the debugging: ON, my phone is not getting detected a a storage unit. But on the phone it says that "USB Connected, select the files to copy from your computer". But the photorec software, still doesn't pick it up.
Is there anything that I am missing? Attaching the snapshots... :crying:
Do you really know how to use your mobile phone?
When you connect your phone, open your notification drawer and turn on USB storage!

Got it now, I am so sorry. Stressed up
Will let you know how it goes...
Way to copy & paste from here (Yes it was that obvious the words weren't yours).
When you deleted something in your phone, first remember not to use your phone again, including text, calling,and try to recover the data you want first. After that, you may use you phone.
I also recommend using google drive and google+. All my photos and videos are there. 15 gigs on standard and if you download quickoffice on your device and link with google drive u will receive another 5 or 10 gigs. I presume 20 -25 Gb is more than enough. The best part ? A good wi-fi connection and google drive installed on the PC and phone and you can access your files anywhere. Add astro file manager for transfering files from internal memory to google drive and viceversa.

Have you gone to Google play store and done a search for "undelete".
I have accidentally deleted stuff in the past and this worked for me. I can't remember which on I used... Will search and edit it in. undeleter by fahrbot. I even shelled out for the premium version. So must have liked it.
Hello All,
I ran into a couple of issues suddenly after I "OK"ed one of the updates.
Since then, I started having issues with the USB charging and USB Mass Storage and not to mention the "Vlingo" app.
=================================
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S II (GT - I9100G)
Operating System : ICS - 4.0.4
Kernel : 3.0.8-1074650
Build Number : IMM76D.XXLPZ
=================================
Let me explain the issue and what is the status so far :
Issue 1)
-- I believe, I just said "OK" to the update when I was using another app and this [OK Cancel] box popped up for a software update
-- The phone was working fine and was being detected by the PC whenever I used to plug-in with USB cable.
-- Noticed that the phone was not getting charged (no beep and the battery charging symbol) and also not getting detected on the PC
-- Tried enabling USB storage too. Did not help
I installed one more 40.75 Mb Android update and the charging issue resolved. The phone then did display the symbol of it getting charged when plugged in, but no beep.
Issue 2)
-- After installing the 40.75 Mb update, the Vlingo app started misbehaving.
-- Whenever I plug-in the phone to PC using USB cable, Vlingo keeps popping up and it thinks it is in "Drive Mode"
-- Some threads suggested installing 'Go Launcher' to uninstall the app. I did not do that.
Issue 3)
-- Not sure if the issue is with the software or hardware, but the phone is not detected in PC using USB
-- As a USB mass storage or otherwise (windows pop-up)
-- Tried with different original USB cables and different PCs and different ports, did not help
-- Although, Galaxy S III was recognized instantly!
-- Suspicion :: Is this a bug with any of the updates as the phone was working fine hours before that. Is anyone aware of it ?
Issue 4)
-- The phone is not rooted and I do not have any backup softwares installed software.
-- Which software can I use to backup the data on the phone. I can transfer the "apk"
-----------------------------------------
++ I would like to install the Jelly Bean update, it's already downloaded via wi-fi I guess (around 467 Mb) file
++ Before installing this update, I would like to backup the phone data
++ Can it be that the phone can be charged via USB but cannot be detected via USB_MASS_STORAGE
++ Can I install the "Titanium Backup" or similar software to backup the data
-----------------------------------------
Please help me troubleshoot these issues.
Thanks,
Sam

Of course, Titanium Backup is the best choice. Use that to backup all your data, and reflash a new firmware or ROM. I personally like custom Roms more since they give more customization options, speed, and stability.
If you need a apk to Titanium Backup, feel free to pm me for it, I have a copy of it.
If there are anymore questions, I will answer you to the best of my ability.
