I got a Samsung Omnia II for Christmas. It is lovely. Today it won't connect to my PC. The PC says the device is not recognised and has malfunctioned. I've tried rebooting both the phone and the PC which has had no effect. I've also tried reinstalling the driver but without recognising the device, the PC doesn't want to know. What can I do to get it going?

try Mirosoft active sync, my samsung Soul didnt like to connect so I downloaded this programme and it works fine now

Sounds like it's not working in storage mode. Does it have an SD card in it?

Different starting point but this might offer an explanation:
Clicky linky

go to the samsung website and download the software from there. My daughters Genio was the same.

My Sony one has a Sony plug at the phone end (as opposed to a mini-usb or something) and when this happened to me turns out it was a bit of gunk blocking one of the pins.. Could be a little dirt in the socket somewhere
