O hai!
I'm trying to update my friends samsung galaxy spica.
When i connect the phone to the computer, it wont connect the device to kies.
It just says Connecting the device, please wait.
It's been like that for 15minutes. Anyone else who have had the same problem and knows how to fix it?
I'm using windows 7.

As far as i know Kies only supports Android 2.x. For upgrading download Samsung New PC Studio, latest version supports this phone (upgrade only). You may have to install it in Vista compatibility mode. But I don't think it'll find an upgrade yet.
New PC Studio will support your phone, lastest version is 1.5.x.x. Works fine with android 1.5 and 1.6
don't forget some antivirus blocked connection..
so the better way is disable your antivirus and use KIES (must android 2.1)
I've got android 2.x and i've got the same problem but i don't care because i prefere upgrade by Odin.

Hi,i have the same problem. When i try to connect the Spica to the NPS or Kies he doesn't recognize the phone memory,just the mass storage.
I have Eclair.
How can i make to recognize the phone memory?
And the other question is : How can i put my Spica to recovery mode to install some themes.
When connecting your spica with kies you may need to set your spica to enable debugging mode. Settings> applications> development> check usb debugging.. Your phone will now be recognize by kies..
On mass storage, notice that when you connect your phone to the computer via usb you see an icon on the notification area? Open the notification and tap on usb. Tap on mount on a window that will appear.. That should connect ur memory card..

THANK YOU This has been a BIG HELP to me
I was having the same problem of connectivity ,but it was for ipod . I waited and waited and it did no connect. I referred a software shop but the problem was with the connecting usb or the window. I suggest you to check for these two first. Then move on the other options. These sets don't have much problems with their software or hardware. It is just the eternal support which some times is missing for them.
For me it was impossible to update my 1.5 phone with kies ore samsung new pc studio. I also tried kies mini.
I did work on this for two days without success.
The final solution was using odin 4.3 with a firmware downloaded from
h t t p://www.samfirmware.com/
I was also updating from 1.6 (stock) to 2.1 (stock) with ODIN.
I do not recommend using samsung (crap) software.
Hi everybody !
I can't connect X10 to PC Companion using Bluetooth. The procedure fails just after pairing.
I can connect the phone via standard Windows Bluetooth connection, but PC Companion doesn't see it.
Did someone manage to complete the procedure ?
Thanks !
Not sure about this one, but I'm guessing it might have something to do with running 1.6
my x10 is not rooted, so i need to do it with my pc. but currently i'm stuck installing x10 driver. i've d/l a folder for the driver. when updating my drive, i selected where my folder is.. but it still said cannot be installed.
any solutions?
Huh? That makes no sense..

Stop playing with separate drivers, just install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and/or SE PC Companion.
This will give you all the necessary drivers for the X10.

Hello guys,
This is a guide for people that don't get a official android update from Sony.
This is a fast and easy step by step guide and your smartphone will not break.
! I THINK THAT WINDOWS XP IS REQUIRED ( because the drivers that you need work only on XP )
! All your apps will be deleted but the photo's at your sd card will be saved
First install Sony PC companion and look if Sony says that you can get a update to 4.0.4. If not then use the guide:
1. Download and install the latest Flashtool.
2. If that's done then go to the drivers folder. Located under Program Files\Flashtool\drivers.
3. Open the Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the drivers for Xperia Arc and the Flashmode driver. After that close the program.
4. Now you need to install a ftf file. Get it under the attachments. Extract the .ftf file (inside rar) to Flashtool\firmwares.
5. Now you can open Flashtool. Click on the thunderbolt icon at the left.
6. Then select the option 'Flashmode' and click on 'Ok'. Select the 'LT15i' firmware and click on 'No final vertification'.
7. Click on 'Ok'. Flashtool will now preparing and after a while he say that you need to plug in your Xperia Arc.
8. Plug your usb into the port of the computer. Then put the usb in the Xperia Arc while holding the back button on your device.
9. Flashtool will flashing the ftf file on your Xperia Arc. After that unplug your Arc and start up. Follow the begin steps of Android.
10. Put on USB debugging and MSC (Settings > Sony Ericsson > Connection > MSC)
11. Now install/open Sony PC companion and after installing plug again your Arc on your computer and Sony will say that you can get a update to 4.0.4. He will give you the correct steps and will install it on your xperia Arc.
Enjoy your Xperia Arc with Android 4.0.4!
1. Windows xp is not required. It works also with 7.
2. This is pretty complicated. You can just flash the stock 4.0.4 ftf and you are done. No need for pc companion.

Why do all of this when you can simply flash 4.0.4 ftf? Also people with unlocked bootloader can't use PC Companion.
