Tried hard-reset too but nothing changed. Already tried to disable internet conection, close all programs but AS, disable windows firewall. I still didn't try an English desktop, i'll do it ASAP.
I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem. But how does it sync as a Storage Card (configured in the phone) but not under ActiveSync mode? This is making me crazy.
IMO i have 3 options:
1. It's a problem with a non-english desktop;
2. It's a problem with the USB driver windows automatically installs (Tried to install the driver that comes in the installation CD, but windows refuses it and keeps its own driver. I think it's because the CD driver is older.)
3. Is a hardware problem (then i have a real problem).
Sorry guys, but i have to tell you my i320 history (off-topic) just to share my panic (i think i'd feel more relaxed by sharing this with you):
1. I bought it at eXpansys for US$ 839 (phone + accessories + shipping from USA to Brazil), wich is a little expensive. After two weeks, when the package arrived at a brazilian govern place where they randomly picks up the packages to charge the taxes, mine was chosen. So I payed more US$ 235.
2. One week later, when the package arrived my house, i realized they forgot to send me the USB bluetooth adaptor i bought. Already advised them by email. Let's see what they'll do. The other items in the package seemed ok, but...
3. When i tried to sync my i320... don't need to tell.
(4) (This number 4 may occur, and thats why i'm worried) IF this is a hardware problem and it does not solve when the USB bluetooth adaptor comes (by bluetooth syncing), i'll have to return the phone and pay the shipping (and waste some more money with this expensive buy i did).
Sorry, again, for the big text this guys (and for the english mistakes too), if this is not allowed here, tell me please.

Your English is better than a lot of natives here, don't worry about it. 
I don't know why the language pack thing keeps popping up in my head. Is there anyway you can get to an English machine? I just think that one should be eliminated at least as a cause. I'm probably wrong but it is worth a try.

Interesting, so there is a setting on the phone to make it show up on the desktop as a storage card?
I wonder if there is a setting on the device or a special driver that needs to be installed on the desktop. Does the user guide says anything like that. I am sure you have probably checked it out.

So you have already tried it. Bummer..

I hope its not, you went thru a lot of trouble to buy this unit, even had to pay the import duty. Ouch!

Seems like i'm not the only one having problems when syncing a Samsung i320 bought from eXpansys/MobilePlanet... see the link below, from their forum:
http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?i=1...8&thread=15
Unfortunately, nobody solved the problem. Maybe i own a phone returned by someone. Who knows?  |

Odd, I've had no problems sync'ing my i320. Perhaps you should contact Samsung or Expansys for a replacement?

Thanks God!! I finally synchronized my phone!! Just plugged it on my work pc and it worked fine.
Then, in a few days, my bluetooth adapter arrived and i synchronized it at home too.
Just don't know why it doesn't work via usb sync, at home. Mystery!!!
Anyway... now its (almost) a fully functional phone.
Thank you guys, for the efforts.

Wow... I wish we had a better reason for the pain.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear it's working for you.
