hay guys i've 2 complains
i'm new in android world ,i just bought galaxy ace updated to gingerbread 2.3.3
1 - when i connect the device to the computer some times Kies cannot detect it ( usb debugging mode is enabled and the drivers is installed ) and if Kies detected it , it shows that usb connected but the android logo doesn't.
important note * : when connecting the device to other computer via connect storage to pc, it doesn't work.
2- the Gbs service requires internet connection every time i try to calculate the distance and direction between two locations ( too much money wasted ) , is there any solution to get the distance directions with out connecting to the network.
thank you,
1: I don't use KIES it's useless to me.
2: search the android themes and apps section, somebody made offline maps app.

Try osmand maps. There are a few others on the market too. Also google maps has panchant settings in labs. That alows you to download areas for off line use.

Next time please post a meaningful title. What GBS? Am I missing something here, or are you talking about GPS?
sorry for not explaining my problem well, i'm just a new member and i'm happy that people replied to me. thanks to all .

Lg suit correctly installed, but not working yet on my Win7...
The suit recognizes the phone, but there is no way to sync anything or accessing messages/files as well...
I tried reinstalling both P500 drivers and Lg suite...
Anyone having the same problem?
have you tried myphoneexplorer? I think now it works with android phones
=_= U need PC suite IV not III
hmm....
Firstly you don't need to download the PC Suite from LG, because it's on that 2GB SD Card installed in the phone. Just connect the phone to your pc as mass storage and open the card with explorer. You'll find the software there.
Secondly, both PC Suite and MyPhoneExplorer work great with P500! For MyPhoneExplorer, however, you must activate the Debug mode.

Turn on USB debugging, do not activate mass storage when you been asked.
i also have the same problem
and nothing works
Same Issue
I have tried with USB Debugging on as well as off. It recognizes the phone and pops up the error without initiating step 2.
The worst part is that it sometimes works. I have not idea what the trigger is but one in about 10 tries it sync everything.
So fortunately I do have my contacts but my appointments are often out of sync.
Am downloading myphoneExplorer, would be great if someone can confirm if it also exports the images associated with the numbers in the outlook contacts list.
Cheers,
Vikram.
I had the same "phone not responding" while i was getting my contacts from outllok.
But i turn on the wifi and all went well.
I think turning on wifi will automaticly turn on syncing procedure.
Just a small bug i guess.
Cheers
Zecanilis, thanks a lot for your finding. I was struggling for two days to find out what could be the cause of intermittent syncing. Maybe this bug is not present in newer versions of firmware. Can anyone confirm? My phone has V10B firmware.
BTW, latest LG PC Suite 4 is 4.2.42.20101021. I uploaded it here. You can always got the latest version of PC Suite bundle by using LG Mobile Support Tool which you can download here.
One solution
I always have my wifi on so don't think that that should matter, did a restart of my system and tried it worked, no idea what the dependency is.
However myphoneExplorer works great, syncs with USB or with wifi as well. Atleast there is an option to get my contacts and appointment.
Any idea why the tasks / memo is disabled for syncing ?
Hi to all.
I have a strange problem with my SGS3 I9300.
When i connect it to the pc trough USB cable, it make me choose if i want to connect it like "dispositivo multimediale" which is the italian translation of Media Drive (or something like that) and should be the normal connection or "fotocamera" which means camera.
Doesn't matter what option i choose, the phone won't connect to PC.
Any suggestions?

Delete all drivers for the SGS3 from your pc. Then try to connect via MTP (it´s the first option) and Windows should install the right drivers. If it doesn´t work, try to delete the drivers aswell and use this to install the drivers.
Mine connection istn´t working well, too. Sometime I have to plug out and plug in, restart PC and phone etc. But you can use the Easy UMS app.

You neglect to say if you have installed Samsung Usb drivers or kies .
jje
1. As JJEgan said, install drivers, first.
2. Uninstall KIES, or make sure that its services are not running in background on PC
3. Before connecting the phone, cut-off internet connection on PC. It will always try to download drivers from MS
4. Try another data cable.

Test on another PC, and if that doesn't work - replace USB board - look for Keithross39's guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board'), has all the info you need to get this done yourself quickly/easily/cheaply (~US$10).

thanks for the reply sir... that's the only thing left out for me to do... to try my device to another desktop or loptop.. since i only have one desktop at home....
sir how can i tell whether my phone is a genuine one? can fake samsung devices be recognize by kies? on usb or wifi kies?
Verify that your phone is closed all applications (hold "home" key -
management activities - close applications) and move to the main screen.
Open the Samsung Kies program first and then connect the usb cable.
If the fault persists, uninstall the driver (Samsung Mobile Usb) from "Device Manager" on PC
and restart your computer.
Once you restart your PC, and open the Samsung Kies, plug the phone in order to re-install the
driver.
If still no go even restart the phone and try again
Try also another usb port and finally try another pc / laptop

Compare your phone to pics (Google search) of genuine devices, also Google & you'll find pics of fakes that you can also compare against (we've seen a few fakes on here over the past couple of yrs but not many, search for threads about this). Get an app like Android Hardware Info/similar (there are a number of similar apps on GP) which will give you the hardware details (CPU/GPU/etc) of your device & compare that to I9100 specs.
What makes you think it's fake ?
Cpu-z is a good app (free on google play) for see Android's details about hardware/software.
I've never heard of fake s2. It sounds so strange
Quiet, that you are neither the first nor the last to have problems with USB connectivity to PC. They are quite common problems.

coz there's a a lot of fake samsung products here in the Philippines... and by now it's really hard to identify which is original or fake.
those people who created those clone phones is getting better day by day. way cheaper but looks exactly the same.. i think they made
the hardware powered too, i've seen an s5 a clone one and it's rated by antutu with 30145 or something )
Don't forget to test different USB ports in your laptop or PC. Last resort could also be (if you're under windows, obviously) deleting the USB root controllers within the Control Panel > System > Device Admin and then reboot. In my experience, I don't need to reinstall Samsung's drivers and usualy recover the USB cable connection.

Hello all
I got a new Samsung S6 from work. for security reason, I cannot root the device (entrust and other software will not install)
since I got it, I am very annoyed by the fact that every time I connect the phone to my Linux, I have the following message when I want to access the files by MTP
allow access to device media
a MTP connection will be established to access the Data on the connected device : DENY ALLOW
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is there a way to remember which connection was allowed or to remove once and for all this annoying message ?
thx

Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
When you connect your phone to your pc, do you get any message in the status bar like "USB used for charging"? If not, go into setting (while connected) and click storage and USB and select MTP.
Hope that helped and hit "thanks" if it did .
thank you for your reply
my problem is not that I cannot connect. I have all the settings correctly done (or so it seems) and I have selected MTP. the issue is that the question to authorize the connection will pop up every time.
the device does not remember the previous authorisations.
example, if i connect to my Linux, then run a virtualbox windows, I have to redirect the USB to the virtualbox, but because it does not remember the authorization, it will disconnect and ask again if I agree, then I will have to redirect to virtualbox as it is seen as a new connection everytime. this in circle
also, I connect and disconnect the device from the USb all the time, everytime, I have to re-authorize the connection, it is getting old
Hi, without root, there is currently no way to automatically authorize a device (kinda stupid really) however with root there are a few ways to do it.

Tell me more, every time I connect my phone I have to switch from charging to file transfer in cm13.
Hello, I'm facing this problem from many years in my phone, i can't plug in my mate 10 to any pc, it always says usb not recognized,
all drivers installed correcly with hisuite , my cable usb is new,
i changed today the USB charging port of the phone at Huawei care service, and i reset factory the phone , still same problem.
I'm still having the same stock rom on the device,
is the "usb not recognized" problem can be a software problem in the phone? thank you for your experience.

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
