I had the same problem last night. With Debugging off, kies would see but not connect - also a drive would appear but took ages to view the files, but would not allow opening,copying or deleting. With Debugging on, 2 removalbe drives would appear but would get an error message.
I know that it is not a solution, but switching off and on the SGSII fixed the problem. With Debugging off, Kies connected straight away. With Debugging on, the PC actually let me see inside the 2 Removeable Drives (internal and external SD).
I am going to have a search and find out what is causing the problem.

Thanx for reply ill have to try this as soon as i get home from work.

[Q] Please help: Kies not connecting...

Hi, I have a problem connecting to Kies. I have been searching for hours over the internet for a solution but nothing worked.
Until yesterday I was connecting normally to Kies, syncing my mobile and checking for updates. Yesterday Kies gave me a message that there is a new update (for kies software), so I accepted the update and got the latest version (2.0.3.11082_152). Since I did that i couldnt connect my SGS2 to Kies again. It keeps on saying "connecting" on the screen but never ends and never show my SGS2 under "connected devices" .
I already have "debugging mode" unchecked. I used the option to update drivers several times. I tried to download Kies again at least 8 times (both the latest version as well as the original version I previously had), I tried unmounting my SD card, I tried several USB cables, but still getting "connecting" that stays forever.
BTW, I can connect to my PC in USB storage mode.
I have stock Android 2.3.3 with Kernel version JPKH1 (Arabic enabled).
I really appreciate any help from anyone.
I have read in many forums that I need to pick "Kies mode" by going to Settings>Wireless and network> USB settings. Well, on my phone when I go to Settings>Wireless and netwrok I dont have "USB settings" in the list but have "USB utilities" instead. Under "USB utilities" the only option I have is USB mass storage. IS THIS WHAT OTHERS HAVE ON THEIR SGS2s ???
same prob
Anyone, PLEASE....

Off course thats what we all have your other forums are talking nonsense .
Suggestion turn phone OFF turn PC off reboot PC Reboot phone .
Start Kies connect Samsung USB cable .
Wait for Kies to connect .
jje
And make sure you run Kies as Administrator if you are running Win7
I used to have the same issue.
If you are using a 3rd party launcher, try turning that off and returning to touch wiz, as that caused issues for me, also make sure the phone is unlocked.
Failing that, turn the computer off, and plug the phone in, and then boot the computer back up, that might force it to install the drivers.
Same problem with me.i have win xp.but newer kies verson does not support sgs2.one another problem is i accidently uninstalled samsung usb driver for mobile phone.now i connect phone with pc via usb cable,the pc every time says fond new hardware and try to install it but could not sucseed.when i manually install driver,pc every time says "mobile phone has being used,eject the phone and reboot pc then install usb driver".where no phone is conected.why pc says eject phone where no phone is conected? Please help me please.

Saolved: Kies not connecting
Hi. To any who is faing this problem, here is the soultion that worked with me.
After trying everything, from rebooting PC and phone several times, using Kies "Resoultion Connection Eror" to download drivers many times, making sure the USB debugging is turned off from setting, etc,,,,, NOTHING WORKED
So:
1- I disconnected my phone from PC
2- I went to PC Control Panel>System and Maintenance>System>Device Manager
Under "USB Controllers" I didnt find anything with Samsung name. Instead, I found 2 entries under the name "USB Composite Device". Using right click I uninstalled them.
3- I reconnected my phone with Kies closed. As soon as I reconnected my phone, I had a message saying that Samsung Drivers are being added
4- I opened KIES, and Voila... my phone connected and I could see its name under Kies connected devices.
5- Now under Device Manager I can see "Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device"
My interpretation is that although I tried to update the Samsung drivers thru Kies many times, the drivers that already existed for the "USB Composite Device" (which I uninstalled in step 2) were forbidding Samsung drivers to take their place. So when I unistalled the USB Composite Devices everything worked the way ot should.
Hope this could help anyone who faces this problem.
Solved!!
Just go through the trouble shooting procedure which shows up on the screen when Kies is running and your device is not able to connect. It'll download some driver and automatically fix the issue.

I have tried that and nothing :/
Try turning USB debugging off and try again...
By the way, you're on stock 2.1 correct?

i have try that and nothing
i have try easytether driver
the msi program and all sort of things
and im in 2.2
So USB debugging won't work. Kies/Sammy drivers won't work. I have a radical idea. Maybe your computer won't recognize the drive as a Mass Storage device b/c the drive letter got deleted somehow. This has happened to me on a few phones when flashing-fantastic.
Try this and see. It is for XP but I suspect there are similar solutions if you are on W7.
ill chek it out but i have try my phone in 3 direrent computers and nothing :/
the strange thing is when i plug it in to the PC it only charges
but when i plug it in to de AC adater it goes into debuging mode 0.o
Now i turned debuging off and turned mass storage on
and when i plug it to charge it says USB connected phone conected to computer 0.o
Try these steps:
1. Disconnect your phone from your PC
2. Setting
3. Wireless & Network
4. USB
5. Click the last option (don't remember)
6. Reconnect your phone again
Good luck

[Q] Connection problems

So when i try to connect my galaxy to the computer nothing happens. i plug it in and it will start to charge but the phone will not have recognized the fact that it is connected to the computer and the computer doesnt even say "unrecognized device" how do i get the phone and omputer to recognize each other?
Did you install drivers for the phone? What operating system are you on?
yes i have. ive tried both osx and windows 7 and i have made sure to download teh drivers for each
Have you tried to connect it in usb debugging mode? (goto settings, applications, devlopment, check debugging mode?
(I dont know of it will help, but it would be the next thing I would try)
And try different usb ports. I have heard before that it can help.
yeah ive tried all of that it and still nothing, the switching usb ports too
Did you restart the computer after you installed drivers?
I would try installing Samsung Kies (from samsung website, GS2 support page). It also installs drivers and fixed a problem I had with connection.
If all these don't work, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry. I am sure someone here with more experience will be able to help.
yeah haha ive done all of these unfortunately and still nothing, thank you for you suggestions though
Kies had an update within the hour of New years (Pacific).
I discovered this morning that USB debugging mode MUST BE OFF for Kies to recognize and connect to the phone. I'm currently backing up my device in this mode right now.
"Kies Air" also works well, without having to worry about any USB issues.
"Droid Explorer" connects fine with debugging turned on. I have to wait until backup is complete to see if it works with debugging turned off.
I'm having USB port issues right now, so your mileage may vary.
Hope this helps.

[Q] PC not detecting SGA

It was working fine just 2 days ago. Kies is same, phone is same and so is phone OS. But now Kies or PC just doesn't detect phone. Phone starts charing, but no USB icon in notification. Reinstalled Kies as well but in vain.
Can someone tell me what went wrong. Turned off/on USB debugging, no result.
Happened to me once on Win7.
Start Odin. If the COM label gets yellow, than all is good.
Unplug and replug. Wait.
Try another USB port.
Restart Win7.
Don't ever have this issue under Ubuntu though. But sadly I've to fallback to Win7 to use Odin. ...

[Q] USB Not detected, wont mount

Phone: GTI9300
PC : WIndows XP
I have an SGS3 int'l version that has recently developed a USB issue after an unsuccessful attempt to update my firmware using Kies. Whenever the phone is plugged in via USB it will begin charging, but the PC doesnt recognize the phone at all. I have reinstalled kies with no luck.
Any ideas on the USB issue and how to possibly fix it?
Try reinstalling drivers.

I uninstalled and reinstalled KIes (which includes the device drivers)...
I had same problem, and after 2 days to find a solution, i re-install win7 and it works directly
So you've got a problem with your win7.
:/
im on the old XP. I had no problems before, but after I was trying upgrade my firmware using Kies (it was stuck during the process), so I closed the program rebootd the Pc. Then the phone is not recognized at all...only charges when usb connected..

Reboot PC.
Reboot phone then replug it.
Possibly use a different USB connector

Ya I did all that...now Im stumped..
When I connect the s3 to the pc, the phone immediately pops up "connected as a media device" , but the pc is not showing anything or picking anything up...
Try it on another computer (preferably Windows 7).
That'll allow you to see if the issue is on phone- or computer-side.
