I have tried loads of ways to connect my phone to my PC (it used to work!). The PC will not even recognise the phone as a device anymore. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers via Samsung Kies. What is the solution?

Remove the SD card and the SIM card. Restart the phone and only plug it in when its restarted completely. Make sure the phone is set to USB Kies. Check the cables too! |

Try to uninstall the Galaxy S drivers from the Device Manager in Windows while it is plugged in, and then reconnect the phone to the computer. |

I had this problem with Ubuntu and Windows. Just today after installing Dropbox ( which is a good workaround BTW) after the following steps, my phone was recognized as if it were a flash drive: power off. connect USB to PC. charge for a while ( irrelevant I assume) power on while connected. I don't know whether Dropbox changed some setting or permission, whether something else I played with did, or the power-off-on sequence fixed it. |

Try to disable USB debugging. When you connect you will then have a button labelled "Connect USB" on the phone. Press it and it will install itself. It worked for me. |
