Hey I'm having problems connecting my phone to my computer through USB.

When I first bought my samsung galaxy sII in july up until 4th August I was able to connect my phone to my Windows 7 64-bit PC through USB without any problems. While connected to my PC, my phone was under "MTP Application" and it showed "Connected...". I could right-click my phone under My Computer and choose "import pictures and videos". I could also connect to Samsung Kies and backup.

However from 5th August up till now, whenever I access my phone folders that have many files (e.g. Images, Music) through my computer it disconnects (phone shows "Initialising...) (then reconnects again immediately (phone shows "Connected..."). But somehow I can access the camera photos folder (in phone memory) although it has many files. Therefore I can't use the "Import pictures and videos" anymore. And samsung kies cannot detect my phone at all.
However the weird thing is that I have NO PROBLEMS using it in USB Mass Storage Mode.

I like to use "Import pictures and videos", and to use Kies to backup (since I don't want to root my phone yet)... However now I can't do any of these...

I have tried switching my phone on and off, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling Samsung Kies, however it did not work at all.  I also tried to tick "USB Debugging" and "Allow mock locations" under Settings-->Applications-->Development and allowed my computer to install more drivers. However once i untick both the settings, it's the same problem again.

From what I remember the only difference between 4th August and 5th August was that Samsung Kies updated itself, and that on 5th August when I plugged my phone into my PC through USB my computer automatically installed drivers again.

Can anyone please help?

p.s. Sorry for the lengthy post, trying to provide as much information as possible...
*
Have you try to uninstall Kies and just see if the connection to pc is working? Just uninstall and don't install back I mean.

oic...will try to flash to XXKG5 1st..then try to flash to villian ROM~
one more question to ask...i was told villian ROM is very gud...is it because it solve the battery drain prob or is thr any other special feature in it?
*
Honestly depends how you define good and also depends on what you like.

For me, battery life nothing beats Villan ROM lite. However you can opt for sensation rom which is pretty not bad (current one has battery bug btw), litening and exynos extreme.

I would say go for the one you like best.

whats the battery drain % of playing games?
i was playing field runner HD, within 20 minutes, dropped 20% @__@
normal?
*
If the phone is new, battery drain will be obvious. If you run full cycle after a few times, will be better.

Playing game depends lo. I would say 10-15%.

I have some question regarding rooting, but I am too afraid to ask, cuz the reply is normally read the first page, maybe some of you guys are too fed up with the same question all over again, I understand.

Is there anyone willing to answer my few short question? Allow me to pm you? Thank you.

Try recall which app you recently download and try one by one (uninstall) and see which is culprit. Worst case, hard reset, full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik. After that, install back some of the apps and try one by one.

i noticed..on villain rom..when i reboot my sgs2..if the charger is connected..its doesnt shut off..goes blank with the two buttons lighted..any solutions?

For starters, I would say start with wipe cache and wipe dalvik but I doubt it will work.

Do a full wipe if it still persist.

Never experience such even when I use Villian ROM full or lite version.

Im going to get this one soon after all the good reviews. I have a few question though.

1. How is the battery life if i constantly take pictures, like 500 pictures a day.

2. How is the screen like, is it easily scratchable.

3. Can i install garmin or papago in this phone?

4. Can i view .xls or .doc file ?

Im kinda new to android and this would be my 1st android phone.

1. Battery life is good depending on your usage right? Each people is different.
BTW, which camera can survive 500 pictures a day? shakehead.gif shocking.gif Have to be a little realistic blush.gif

2. Gorilla glass. If you read the review, you should know it has gorilla glass and you should know how good it is.

3. Again, yes, I think this has been stated soooo many times on the forum already hmm.gif

4. I am using Doc to Go so no problem here. Not sure about others.
