December 12, 2011Usually,I have found that Samsung’s galaxy phones don’t connect to PC by self installation of USB driver.
To connect your Samsung Galaxy Fit,download and install Kies –

If you are using win XP then make sure you have SP3 update and .Net framework 4.0 client version installed.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) –

Then after installing,connect your phone to PC and open Kies.Let the Kies allow to detect your device.After completion of device detection,you can either transfer the data using the Kies software or use Mass storage method by going to My Computer–>Removable storage.
Note – If you are using XP and want to transfer your data using Mass storage method then you have to always open Kies and wait till Kies detects your phone.

December 15, 2011Incorrect, Susendeep Dutta.
All Galaxy phones can connect directly to PC like a regular USB device.
You just need to know how to do it.To connect the Galaxy Fit to PC (without needing Kies or any apps):1. Connect Phone to Computer using USB cable.2. Slide down top status tab (where the USB icon is on the top left)3. Select the “Ongoing USB Connected” tab4. Select “Connect storage to PC”Here are screenshot instructions from my Galaxy Fit:http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/pactio_kiss/galaxyfit.jpg
It doesn’t works for my friend’s Samsung Galaxy Ace.
December 16, 2011This webpage is about the Galaxy FIT, not “Ace”.
December 16, 2011I do know that Galaxy Fit is mentioned device in this question and I think that what connectivity solutions apply for Galaxy Ace must apply for Galaxy Fit too.
I have tried many times the solution mentioned by you but it doesn’t works.
December 16, 2011Read the title, friend:
“Why can’t my Samsung Fit be connected to a computer?”
December 16, 2011I have not tried a Galaxy Ace.. but I think it should be able to be done using a different method.
December 16, 2011I tried many times doing what you told me but the results still the same. But then thanks fr answering.
December 17, 2011Try plugging it into a different usb port….
July 11, 2012That worked for me.
thanks it worked great

January 25, 2012I have a galaxy fit and it doesn’t work for me either- the pull down menu has no option for me to connect. Also Kies won’t install on my computer cas windows doesn’t think the publisher can be verified. I insist it’s okay, but it refuses to install it anyway. D:

July 22, 2012I purchased galaxy fit a year back and have usually been connecting my phone as Naekku88 has said. But recently i updated my phone (from froyo 2.2.1 to gingerbread 2.3.4). Everything’s working fine but now i can’t connect my phone. I tries debugging usb on and off many times but it simply wont connect. My pc recognizes the phone but when i scroll down the notifications bar and select the turn on usb storage the bar simply scrolls up without doing anything. Anyone know the answer to this?? Please reply as soon as possible
Did you tried what I suggested above.If you apply the method what I’ve suggested then definitely you can connect your phone to PC.
July 24, 2012I tried everything mentioned above on my galaxy Fit… Still the pc is not able to recognize it..
July 27, 2012If any of the above methods didn’t worked then backup your data and then factory reset your phone.After that try connecting your phone without opening Kies and open My Computer–>Your phone’s drive.If it doesn’t works,then try dragging notifications bar and tap on Connect storage to pc.
July 29, 2012Samsung has some of the worst driver support in the smartphone industry. I actually had to get rid of a phone that didn’t support x64 drivers. Fortunately, the Samsung Fit has the Kies software. If installed, Kies will install the required drivers.
I have yet to see a Samsung phone with internal memory accessible over USB, with the Windows default drivers. You must install the USB driver software. You have two options – either install the drivers directly or, as Susendeep suggested, install Samsung’s Kies software.
XDA has a thread on this very subject and the required drivers for both x64 (64-bit) and x86 (32-bit).
