Just flashed my phone to 2.2 from "designgears" on xda
Now i cant connect to kies, it says device is not compatible.
also when connected to the computer it says "kies(firmware update)" instead of the regular "samsung kies" option then media player and mass storage.
Is there a way to manually put my contacts and memos on it without kies?
You can try at&t address book but you need to have synced with it before flashing and then sync after flash. Another way is to export your contact to your external SD and then import them after you flash.

all my contacts are saved by Kies it just i dont want to manually input each single one, can i somehow transfer that kies save to [email protected] address book? do you think they will update kies to support froyo 2.2 soon?
Take the pain and migrate your contacts to online services like GMail or Hotmail. Then it will be a piece of cake to sync them back to your phone after a ROM update or switch to new phones.
Kies sync is not officially supported in US model of Galaxy S.

i am currently running wolfbreaks custom rom cm6.1.3, and is wanting to know what i needed to get the get access to the sony ericsson sync, as i have everything al saved to the site and cant restore anything, any ideas or tips willl be very helpful.
Forgive me for my foolishness, but I have an idea:
You can go back to 2.1 first, sync contacts using SE sync.
Then backup a vcf file to sd.
After that log onto market to activate your google account.
Delete all contacts stored on your phone, then restore all contacts to Google (Not phone memory!)
Contacts should be synced to your Gmail account if you have sync activated in settings.
After you have sorted the contacts, root, etc. and flash back to the custom rom you are using.
After bootup, log onto market. If you have sync activated in settings, contacts should be automatically syncing to your phone.
i would like to keep the feature working on the 2.2 rom. i know the arc and xperia play has the feature so it must be a small coding issue and install files. i have already tried the files from a 2.1 apks post, when i log in it crashs the process..
try the one from the arc system dump then
but i would still recommend the google method, who knows when you gonna leave SE and go for another android brand?
I have most of them copied now into the Google. I would like to try it and get it working. To see how Facebook contacts interacts with the sync.

I used to use Kies do the sync, but after flashed I9000 based roms, kies doesn't work anymore(says device not supported), is there any other way to sync with outlook? google is not a option cause it's another group contacts which I used on another phone. Thanks.
I use Outlook Hotmail Connector and a hotmail account.
the reason Kies says Device not supported is because I9000 roms change the product ID. It is not recognized as a captivate anymore. Same thing happened to me. There are threads on here on how to change you product ID back to the captivate ID but whatever you do, don't try to change it back to the captivate ID while still on an I9000 ROM - it will completely screw your IMEI number, and possibly make your phone unuseable as a phone.
The only way to use Kies with your captivate is to be on a captivate based ROM, generally a KB1. But even if you flash back to stock 2.1 you will still need to edit some files to get your product ID back to normal. It's a complicated process if you have never done it before.
As far as contacts go, I use MyPhoneExplorer. It's free, get it in the market, and you also need the free copy on your desktop (or laptop). It can sync wirelessly or via usb with Outlook contacts and calendar.
I'll be glad to assist you with product ID change if you need. just let me know. I have done it several times. But be prepared to back up everything becuase it will involve flashing stock and clearing things.

I use GSyncIt. Very good program. Highly configurable. Costs $20 but it is worth it to me. Syncs contacts, calendars, motes, etc.

PLEASE, don't just look at my post, please say something.
Hi, I was previously using Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 which have KIES to sync
Contacts, Music, Videos, etc.
I'm now concerning about : how to sync my KIES contacts to my current Nexus S?
Currently, I'm using MIUI 1.10.28. And for me, the contacts manager is not really as good
as Samsung's contact manager.
In Samsung's contact manager, users can recognize some categories of many phone
numbers OF a person with their own unique tag name.
For example :
I have a contact person number called Lucy. Lucy has 5 number which I distinguish
of the numbers tags as follow :
[home] 2341345
[office] 9838643
[mobile] 5656357
[fax] 3456544
[FuNnY] 8624542
So, the distinguishable tags such as : home , office , mobile , fax , is the common tag
name for a number, but what I want is to recognize one or some numbers in a UNIQUE
tag name such as FuNnY (above).
And Samsung's contact manager is also save a photo of the person, a birthday,
an anniversary date, address, email, etc.
My question is :
- Can I sync the whole unique data in Google?
- Is there any comparable / alternative apps like Samsung's contact manager?
- Can I convert the *.spb file to *.vcf without loosing the unique data?
Please help me.
I need my contacts, I love them. And I'm sure that you love yours too
Anyone...?
I wish I could help.
I came from HTC evo shift and that synced for me too. But stock android as nexus is. Does not. No linking. Would be helpful but alas.
Sorry.
Idk if there's a way to do it or not though.

Wow... so there's no hope for my old Samsung KIES contact? Alas... poor me...
Or can I export the *.spb file to vcf with all unique data are also saved?
Its been a while but if i remember right there is an option
in kies to backup your contacts to gmail. That's what i did. .then your contacts will appear a soon as you sync with gmail with your nexus

I even thought you could export your contacts in KIES in .vcf format. That way you can import them in Gmail's contact list and have it sync to your phone. I only used KIES once for a friend so I might be wrong.
Not sure how the special data formats will look though.

I've never tried Stock ROM deeply since I bought Nexus S,
I just flash it immediately to MIUI ROM so I didn't realize that
it can save an unique name tag of a number
But now I'm in love with MIUI. Can MIUI saves the unique name tags too?
Still waiting for answers.....
CASE CLOSED
Using ICS now
I didnt even think about this until after I flashed it but now I am trying to save some time getting my contacts back.
I typically use the att contact address book to sync my contacts, well this rom is a rogers based rom and doesnt have this option.
Do you guys know if there is any alternate methods to pull those att contacts and load them onto this rom?
Without flashing back to an att rom, then backing them up, and then reflashing infused?
Your answers would be greatly appreciated...thanks
contacts
go to att.com/addressbook (i think....it might be .net) from there you can dl your list as a csv spreadsheer. Then either import that list into google or outlook and sync that account for contacts.
Do you know where i would navigate to to be able to download the list? I couldnt find it.
Should be stored in your android account

I use Kies to sync calendar, contact, notes and tasks from my SGS2 LTE from Rogers.
Today when I went to sync, it offered me a NEW version. Their web site does not have this version up yet at the download link.
The new version is Kies_2.1.0.11112_41. The old version, that I was using without trouble, was Kies_2.1.0.11095_121_6.
I installed, connected device, did my sync. All well.
By the way, it also syncs my Itunes library perfectly.
I thought there was a way to manually update through kies? I was thinking I read that somewhere but can't remember. This is my first Samsung device. When I tried connecting to kies my browser said page unavailable.

The update came out today, which is why you see the 11112 in the version name (2011-01-12).
