[Q] Phone not detected on Kies/MyPhoneExplorer/Android-Sync

---

Hi All,

I want to sync my contacts/calendar entries from PC to Android, also access/send messages from my PC via phone.
After googling I found Kies, My PhoneExplorer and Andriod-Sync are suitable options.
But when I start these apps and connect my phone via USB cable, none of them are able to detect(or connect to) my phone.
My PhoneExplorer and Andriod-Sync require phone to have 'USB debugging' enabled.
I tried all three applications with all combinations (usb debugging on/off and usb mode to kies) none of them seem to be working.

My guess is, it is not working since i've flashed a custom rom on my phone (Kyrillos' ROM v9.2) and also partitioned sdcard.

has anyone tried this?

PS: I've tried re-instaling adb/phone drivers, even that did not help.

Go to the thread with all the stock apps from JPU. Download the app called MTPapplication.apk and move it to your /system/app using root explorer.

shouldn't MyPhoneExplorer work even without the MTP? It uses its own app? Or does it still rely on MTP?

I have no idea. Haven't used any of the other apps. All i know is you need MTP to use Kies and Kies is good for syncing contacts etc. (Useless for updating my phone)

Use google contacts, it's very easy to sync them

Hey Smonic,

I installed MTP app and tried connecting, still no luck
MyPhoneexplorer and andriod-sync still dont detect it.

Kies says:

'Cannot start service on the device. Please disconnect then reconnect the device'

I've tried reconnecting several times, it always gives this same message.

Try a wipe of your phone, deinstall all samsung stuff on your pc, then reinstall samsung drivers. If you want to back up contacts use google and if you want to backup sms I think there is an app in the market that can do it.
