This reset all the drivers and so forth and I was able to connect and use Kies perfectly afterwards (No Icecream for me though sadly.) I was getting the "must connect in PC studio mode" error.Īfter reading dozens of possible solutions and trying different permutations of them all finally what worked for me was running the Kies "troubleshoot connection error" option. I wouldn't have bothered as my PC happily chats with my Galaxy Note, but I'd heard a rumour that Icecream4 had been released so wanted to see if I could get it through Kies. Result was: virtually the whole day trying to get it up and running again. A new update was available which I dutifully installed. Having said all that may I ask why you need Outlook? Why not switch to the cloud completely then you'd have the same whatever you were using it on. or use something like Thunderbird with some plugins to sync the data between outlooks but to be honest I have tried this and found it to be at best unreliable. if you don’t have/want exchange or gapps you could move the outlook stuff to a (free) gmail account. if you have Google Apps for business you can use Google's sync tool but that’s not really necessary as its exchange capable so you don't need that: you can add the account on the phone. if you need continuous syncing then you are limited if you need to continue using outlook. One time export: from outlook to phone is relatively simple but will not remain up to date. calendar you need caldav capable account e.g. google apps for business or ms office 360. contacts: to do it properly I think you require an exchange capable account e.g. email: try to use an IMAP capable account then the phone can pick it up directly and it'll all be in sync. get outlook data into an account that the phone can then sync to as well. I would suggest you don't try to sync directly to the phone but rather go via 'the cloud' i.e. There are a few options open to you depending on what exactly you're trying to achieve (email, contacts, ntinuous or one time) and whether you have a gmail or other exchange capable account. Yes I agree it is almost useless software. Wait: my tablet takes literally 10 minutes of "Connecting." before actually connecting.Ĭheckout my separate page for 10.1 here My how I hate Kies.Reconnect the phone via a different USB port.Clear memory in the native Task Manager: hold down the Home key, go to Task Manager, then the RAM tab, then click Clear Memory.Kill all applications on the phone using Advanced Task Killer or similar.Start Kies on the computer and wait for it to load.Disable USB Debugging in (Home Screen) Menu, Settings, Applications, Development, USB debugging. (In 4.0.3 Development is in settings, under the sub heading System, near the bottom.).Exit Kies, disconnect and reboot the phone.Run an update from within it: Mac: Preferences, Update tab. I couldn’t find anywhere to actually set what sort of mode the phone used to connect so after some searching the solution that worked for me was to: Current connection Mode not supported by Kies.”… but obviously without any instructions how to actually do that… that would be too much to ask wouldn’t it? You connect your shiny new phone to your PC to add some tunes and photos and it comes up with: “Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection Mode not supported by Kies. Fix for Samsung Kies “Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode.
