detect your android mobile in Linux

Unable to detect your android mobile in Linux .

You need to turn on USB mass storage option (present in setting -> usb utitlites) in order to access you mobile contents.

Why this type of option ? Unless Somebody who got physical access to your mobile knows the pattern, they will NOT be able to enable this options , right ?

Kies issues - Upgrading samsung android moblie

Had some tough time updating android using kies.
 ( I am having a samsung android mobile).

Tried multiple things as mentioned in forums.

Few ideas which I think that worked for me:

1. connect the mobile after logging in and system is in Desktop. Do not connect from the beginning you switch on the pc.

Everytime you do something, reboot the machine. for example, just after installing kies, DO NOT use it directly.  first reboot  and then start using.

Do this even after installing the drivers, and updating kies to latest version.


Most important :
Right click on kies, and "Run it as administrator." Otherwise kies just crash silently without informing anything.

Happy upgrading :)
