With the latest version of Kies i was happy to find that it was giving me the choice to sync notes from outlook to my SGS2. But when i checked on my phone after i got the successfully completed message i could not find the notes anywhere, even in the memos where it was supposed to go.
Did anyone else try this? please let me know what happens with you.
Hi all, I have a Galaxy S2 with 2.6.3 and a Tab 10.1 with the latest stock rom 3.2 kk4. I have the latest kies version on my PC. My S2 has a tasks.apk instaled which syncronize perfectly with Outlook tasks via kies. I want to do the same with the Tab 10.1 but I am not able.
The Kies syncronizacion menu does not give me the option to sync task when the Tab is plugged (just let me contacts, calendar and notes).
I noticed that the Tab do not have the task app instaled, so I took it with root explorer from /systema/app in my S2 and instaled it on my Tab. The application works fine, but Kies didnt let me sync tasks anyway.
The next step I did is to identify the processes that are involved when Kies is syncronizing to copy them from de S2 to the Tab. I copied "TaskProvider.apk", "wssyncmlnps.apk", "syncmlds.apk", "syncmldm.apk" and "MtpApplication.apk" from S2 to Tab and gave all the permissions and change owner correctly.
After changing all this files I thought the tab was going to burn when I plugged it to the USB, but it worked correctly and Kies opened correctly.
BUT WITHOUT THE SYNC TASK OPTION TO PICK IN THE KIES MENU.
I am starting to think that this option to be activated or not depends on the kies program on the pc instead on the apps on the Tab.
¿Any suggestion or idea to get to syncronize the Task? I am opened to try whatever.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long explanation.
Any new idea about this??
I use a combination of Touchdown to sync Outlook tasks and then Pure Calendar Widget to display them. The two apps work well together and Pure has a nice clean look on my homescreen.
Hi ,

1. Try to un-install KIES and re-install it.
2. Try to use another USB port/cable.
3. Don't use KIES. Just upload your contacts into your Google account and let your phone synch contacts from there. So you do not need to backup your contacts with KIES to your PC. Let Google backup your contacts on their servers ;-)
Good luck !

I tried all above and still getting the same error !!! the werid thing i wanna know what happened it was working fine since 3 weeks ago !!
You installed something on your device and updated your PC since the last sync.
Search for myphoneExplorer. It's nearly the same as kies, but more stable and usefull. Kies sucks

I did, but issue not fixed. I have access to the internal SD card, only Samsung KIES doesn't work! No way to synchronize the agenda and contact with Outlook.

The leaked Sammy ROM seems to be the root cause of this issue. Just installed and tested with the original ROM I9300XXUFME3, and the problem of connection is still there!
Today my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300RWDBTU? WK37) phone offered a firmware upgraded to Android v4.3 which I accepted. When I then went to sync my my Microsoft Outlook 2010 Contacts with my phone using Samsung Kies (as I've always done) it said I needed to upgrade my installed version of Samsung Kies as existing version 2 was not compatiable with the new firmware on the phone. I did so and now have Samsung Kies version 3.2.13114_22.
However, when I select to Sync my selected Contacts folder from Outlook 2010, Kies ONLY gives a sync direction option of "Apply to both device and Outlook". See attached screengrab. There is no option to change the sync direction, which there used to be in Kies v2. I used to be able to just apply the Contacts changes to my device, and this is what I want to do as I do not want or trust the Kies app to do anything to my Contacts as in Outlook 2010.
Is this a known bug or limitation with Kies 3 and Android v4.3 or is there a workaround?

I actually submitted a ticket to Samsung Customer Support about this and they have replied as follows:
"Regarding your issue, I can confirm that the option to change the sync direction has been removed from Kies 3.0. I am unsure of exactly why this feature was removed but i will pass your concerns on to the Kies development team. Hopefully the next update of Kies includes this feature".
Hmmm, very disappointing
Only other app which has been suggested which sounded hopeful for syncing my contacts from Microsoft Outlook 2010 (PC version) to the Android Contacts on my Galaxy S3 was MyPhoneExplorer (as from FJ Software Development). However, on trying to install that my Antiviru program tells me it contains dodgy stuff so I'm unwilling to install that. Don't really know what I'm going to do now. Am really p****d off with Samsung for removing the extra sync directional options from Kies v3.0!!
Kies 3 Outlook Sync
Updated ATT Galaxy S3 to Android 4.3. Samsung Kies prompted for update to Kies 3. Discovered Kies 3 does not support Outlook Sync.
5 Hrs on the phone with ATT Customer Service and Samsung. Each accusing the other for the problem. My solution was to replace phone to unit with Android 4.1.3. Samsung Kies 2.6 Outlook sync restored.
I commend ATT Customer Service for supporting my position. Samsung is the guilty party here for not coming clean to wireless providers on the Kies 3 shortcomings.
I don't support cloud sync for security reasons. 3rd party app suppliers have failed to supply a simple clean sync interface for Outlook users.
MS Active Sync was the last comprehesive local machine software for MS Office. MS has a great opportunity for serious Windows 7/8 and Phone 7 users to provide a comprehensive secure local machine sync for Outlook and Office files.
I would switch if this were the case, however, most "lemmings" are looking for a quad core smartphone for streaming, testing and entertainment in general..
I like Samsung phones, however, serious phone users must keep the pressure on Samsung for Kies. Or urge MS to provide a local sync product to provide an alterantive that is missing from other operating systems.
There are still serious business people out there!
Synching Outlook & Kies version 2 & 3
I have had problems synching my Galaxy Note2 and found that waiting until the phone is connected message disappearing and then synching works.
To synchronise after problems with contacts, I delete all contacts and reload the kies software, which seems to clear a log file that registers issues.

Success! Yesterday a message popped up saying there was a new version of Kies 3 available for download. I downloaded and installed the new version (Kies 3 v 3.2.14013_45 ). This latest version has restored the directional options when syncing my Contacts between Outlook and my phone. Now I can choose from "Apply to device only" or "Apply to Oulook only", and "Apply to both device and Outlook".
I tried a sync with my preferred setting of "Apply to device only" and on first few attempts it stalled at around 40% with an the error message: "An error has ocurred while preparing to sync contacts. Task cancelled". I experimented with opening and closing Outlook and Kies a few times and eventually it's now doing a full sync OK. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Anyone found a resolution or work around? I just switched from iPhone to a Galaxy S4.
Obviously, I didn't do enough research as I use Outlook at a lot and need my calendars, especially my current one, to sync to my phone.
I have Solved The Problem!!!
Hi,
Today I have solved the problem.
first i had kies 2.5.3.13052_10 and it does not sync with outlook.
then i downloaded these files:
KiesSetup Version 2.6.3.14044_16
and Kies3Setup Version 3.2.14055.3
from
http :// www . samsung . com /us / kies/
first of all i uninstalled previous "samsung kies" from my pc completely and restarted my computer.
then I installed Kies3Setup Version 3.2.14055.3. because the android version of my mobile was below 4.3, it does not recognize my device, and I unistalled it completely and restarted my computer again.
then i installed KiesSetup Version 2.6.3.14044_16 and it works properly! I synced all of my contacts from my device to outlook, then I updated my contacts in outlook and synced all of my contacts from outlook to my device again.
if it does work or does not, please feed back!
thank you.
