One possible cause could be a program that you installed. You could start again by restoring your firmware back to stock and slowly reinstalling programs one by one. Keep track of what and when you...

I recently purchased a new battery ('DxT')...

Note: This was the original post but as it appeared to lead to a dead link I eventually reposted with updated info in the subsequent post above this one. I've requested that the Forum Admin delete...

Yeah, you caught me, I've been too cheap to buy the Pro version so I could freeze but that's no excuse. In fact given that I just lectured my S.O. as to why I would not purchase an artificial tree...

I removed Yahoo Finance yesterday with Titanium backup and no problems, but note my phone is rooted. The one I'm afraid to remove until it's confirmed safe to do so, is the Chinese Keyboard.

Well not a solution but a workaround may be to use Gmail (and yes I appreciate there exist reasons why someone may not want to, thus the term 'workaround' rather than solution). In my case I'm more...

I found that mine works plugged into a USB port on my computer.

However, while doing just that, here is something that I have not seen mentioned and wonder if it's just the adapter that I got or...

I know Titanium recommends it when you open it up, but I'm uncertain as to what the advantage is?

At the moment I'm preferring to leave it turned off. Here's why:

What I see in Windows Explorer...

USB Debugging appears it determines the interface that is presented to get into mass storage mode. It seems on my phone if USB debugging is turned on, I do not see the Kies screen turn on when I...

Amen to that, I hear what you're saying. So I never realized it before, but I guess for anyone that is not rooted they could still achieve the same end by just turning on USB debugging? Thanks for...

Doomed,

I didn't make the connection about how I had turned on debugging in order to root, and had not changed it back. You got it exactly right, thanks very much!

Interesting now I've also...

Thanks, the intent of the question was to determine if rooting or removing an app was the cause of losing Kies desktop. So if it is not rooting, then it must have been due to removing one of the apps...

I rooted a few days ago using the benign kernel CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 and then removed a few apps that are listed on the 'safe' list sticky here. Yesterday when I connected to my PC via...

One of the more annoying apps (unless of course it's a language you use), is the Chinese keyboard. I'm reluctant to remove it unless someone else has done so?

Thanks for that, I'll give that a try when I get back home next week and report back!

My job requires me to take some shifts with a standby period from 4-7 AM in case an emergency happens, so I have to leave the phone on beside my bed, and it has to be audible. I plug it in so if I...

Thanks for that. I did reformat it in a card reader to FAT32, but still not luck. I get nervous with the phone because under storage I see 'SD Card' and 'USB Storage'. It says total space for USB...

I purchased a 16gb micro sd for the phone. Copied files to it and inserted it into phone. When phone is connected to usb the card mounts and I can see it from the PC and copy files to it. When I try...

You may have done this already: Why not switch batteries between the phones first to eliminate the battery as being the cause of the problem?

THanks for letting me know I'm not alone. I still cannot connect to voicemail in spite of trying almost every combination of settings I can access, and have resorted to carrying a second phone in...

So thanks to advice you have given me so far I get to the point where I decide I'm going to flash to XXKG3 and then root. All I know to that point is my phone model is a OZSKG2 CSC

I go off and...

Yeah, I saw a post from someone that seemed pretty credible that seemed to indicate they didn't see a big advantage to KG6. I think probably the problem is not enough feedback has accrued. I'm not...

Thanks Mark,

That's what I needed to hear. Now I just need to figure out if I just want to root 2.3.3 and not flash up to 2.3.4 first, how to go about it. I'll keep researching.

Here's what I've been trying to figure out while looking at the various resources but still unanswered in my head:

1: Does the free version of Titanium backup work to back up some of the items in...

Thanks everyone for all the useful comments, it has made me go look around more after following the suggested resource links.

My version of Kies is 2.02.11071_128
Earlier today it said it updated...
