Ok, my new samsung galaxy ace worked fine, absolutely satisfied.

I installed Samsung Kies because of drivers. USB mode worked fine too.

But, since this morning my computer just won't recognize it. Charging is ok, battery is charging and it shows little USB sign which obviously means that it's connected properly.

I tried re-installing the Kies, but the problem remains. :(

Need help since i wanted to upgrade it to 2.3 today. :thinking:
 
Go to Device Manager > Samsung thing > Uninstall
Then reinstall drivers, maybe reboot afterwards

That helped for me when i had the same problem :)

the problem is that computer absolutely doesn't recognize Ace. It doesn't say that "device is not recognized", or that drivers are not installed, nothing happens on computer after i Plug-in the Ace.

OK, after facing similar problem, I have called the store I bought my Samsung Ace 2, and the sale lady gave me this solution and it worked perfectly:

1) Unplug everything.
2) Go to your phone 'setting' -> 'wireless and network' -> 'usb utilities' then press the button 'connect storage to PC' THEN plug in the cable to the phone & computer. Then you will see android logo and it will say USB connected. Then your computer will detect the driver. You will have to repeat these steps every time you mount your usb driver.

Hope this helps. I haven't seen any solution on any forum sofar. If it works for you, please report back too.
