Hi,
I just bought the phone and I am still mastering the beast.
I finally managed to install Kies and I downloaded couple of Samsung apps. Everytime I click on Samsung apps, I get a warning saying "This phone is not supported by Samsung apps". I am on JF6 firmware. I was able to download but unable to install as the install options seems to be greyed out. Also, in Samsung apps, under the "Select a phone" option, I get S8500L and S8500 as the two options.
Can someone please help. I have the stock phone as is.
That's because they (stupidly) don't have any Android apps on there yet, they are all Symbian or Windows Mobile.
Amazing! (in a wrong way). Thanks for clarifying. I will download Android apps directly through some other way.
the only way to install samsung apps, is via the samsung app itself inside the phone
don't use kies
then the rest of the apps are in Android market
Damn..i have the same question in my mind. I want to install Samsung Apps on my phone
any news if is it possible to install samsung apps on a galaxy s running ics from teamhacksung??
still no ...
A new update is available for kies. Launch your kies on pc and you will be promted to upgrade
to the new Kies 2.0.3.11082_152 version.
As normal with any Samsung kies update, you may receive "network disconnected" errors while updating.
Just be patient. Upgrade process takes about 4 minutes to complete.
On the outlook (UI), there is no notice change. But maybe new drivers were introduced to enable to "not-yet-known" upgrade process to bada 2.0.
After installing this hotfix every apps are signed as free of charge (of course they're not, and when trying to buy any of them error occurs).
Doublechecked by installing previous version and this hotfix (as there is still no standalone version).
that update didn't appear into my kies until now!!!!
A request from persons who updated : please check if sp**fing hole is patched or not
Is the installing app just once is still in there???
Is kies more buggy now???
Best Regards

Checked, sp**f works like a charm. The issue which unables reinstalling apps is still there.
But reinstalling the apps works in KIES 1.5.
It seems the problem is in KIES 2.0, not the server.
oh ****
they are fixing bugs with bugs or what?!
i don't get it !!!!!!
i think maybe i'll hold and won't update to this useless update
thanks Qron for the news
Best Regards
Updating now...
It's not connecting to my SGS after the update
new kies version detects beta and custom roms. bad thing.
Send a screenshot of the Bug to Samsung tech support
I got email from Samsung customer service since i complained about the reinstall bug.
They have no idea that kies is doing this and therefore they have asked for screenshots to prove it.
So go to the samsung website then log in then go to my page and then on the left click my q & a.
Send them the screenshot and make your complaint.
They are adamant that KIES is not supposed to prevent you from reinstalling your apps paid or free so its good that they confirmed that this was not their intention.
In the complaint mail I sent to Samsung on 22nd Sept, I included two screenshots.
They replied me that they are already investigating the case.
Maybe Samsung has no central co-ordinating unit to attend to complaints of clients,
each country attends to complaints separately. Just maybe...otherwise why ask for more screen shots.
Well..in that case i'll give them a complaint too & make them wake up
Kies Devs aren't working with Samsung Apps Devs
So maybe Kies Devs are making bugs while Samsung apps Devs have no idea what they did
i hope i am wrong and they are all connected
Best Regards
I have nothing but problems with the new Kies. Couldn't find phone after update, then it said drivers didn't work anymore, got it working by reinstalling drivers again but now it can't find the phone again...!
Didn't think they could make Kies any worse, guess I was wrong

You need to flash to any full firmware of your region.
After flashing, go to admin mode, pre-configuration setting, and install the correct csc for that region.
Then kies will be able to update your phone again.
Best of luck.
After updating Kies to 2.0.3.11082_152 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 , DeviceDataService crashes , cant do any file transfers, ironically kies reads the phones contact data. Whats going on with kies ? earlier before this upgrade it was slow but used to work fine...
I am having a problem which I think started only when I last updated kies, it gave me errors that phone not detected I restarted the computer then finally got it detected but now when I disconnect the media scanner on phone does not run hence the following problem.
1. From Camera / video camcorder window I cannot access the gallery anymore. My gallery is on External 32gb sd card.
2. Custom ringtone changes randomly then again (sometimes) its back to my preset default. (internal sd card)
I have custom folder named "my ringtones" in which mp3 files are there to set as my default ring tone & 2 of the groups use custom ring tone so I can identify which group is calling.
Now this folder is on internal SD card & its there for sure but the default ringtone set losses its setting & change to stock rom default ringtone & then I can even see my ringtone folder from settings/sound/phone ringtone & don't know how to set custom ringtone unless it shows.
Any way to force the media scanner, I don't know how it got disabled.
Seems new Version availabale 2.1.0.11095_121
Not tested yet...
Best Regards

Hi all.
after successfully unbricking my wave III (S8600) thanks to a RIFF box, I'm now facing difficulties to install apps and games downloaded from internet (samsung apps market is not available for my country).
I would highly appreciate if someone could help with some advice. Already tried spoofing guides, but the process gives errors.
Please help me to install apps via usb/memory card or access samsung apps market.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Genci

Samsung app store is available in all countries.
The problem with samsung apps is that they are basically crap.
To make it work just create a new account with new email.Thats it.

Then download and install Samsun Kies to your PC
Go to samsungapps choose other country (which one you want) and register
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable

Thanks for your instructions. I tried once with Kies but no option to access Samsungapps.
Anyways, I will reinstall Kies and try again.
Thanks

Did it...
Had to do the registry hack to change region and then manually replace the appstore plugin.
also solved the spoofing... was missing a step
thanks to all!
for me: Case closed!
I use this ROM for my N7105:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541860
All Samsung Apps are upgradable within the Samsung App-app (kind of funny but you know what mean) unless S-Note 3. It fails to update. It´s the April update... Is there anyway to download this manually and push it to the phone? I have searched around the web but I can´t find anything.
Since S-Note 3 is compatible with our Note 2 it shouldn´t be any problem, but I guess I'm wrong.
Ideas anyone?
