Hello all,
I would like to have your suggestions regarding any app that is able to enable WiFi transfer between my Windows 7 PC and the phone.
I had an app on my old phone that was enabling WebDav access and it was allowing you to map a network drive on my computer so you can just open it and drop in whatever you wanted without cables. I don't recall the name of the app.
Any suggestions?
Kies air is the best for this. I'm attempting to find it on the phone, or Samsung Apps store right now.

If you mean KIES via wifi then its built in under the more settings menu on the phone settings. Thanks but this still needs the kies suite to be running and you cant even see thumbnails of the photos. I would like something better than that.
Remote Web Desktop. Been using the full version for a long time, can't fault it.

Apparently Kies Air is browser based on the PC so no need to install Kies Suite IIRC? its in the Google Play store but I haven't installed it yet.
Thanks all for your replies! You gave me nice ideas.
I was thinking something more like a WebDav Server app that was allowing you to create a network drive of the phone on "My Computer".
I did find a few with the best being this one but I still found it a bit slow.
Then I tried Kies Air a couple of days ago and I really liked the interface it has. I copied over a 750MB file using both Kies Air and WebDav Server and Kies Air was a couple of minutes faster on copying it to the device. It took around 3-4 minutes which is pretty cool.
Given the nicely done layout and the speed, I don't really care it's browser based and I'm going to use it.
It even allows you to create a shortcut on the desktop.
Thanks again all!
I'm glad that you were able to get it. I didn't know that it was in the Play Store. I have now downloaded it. I used to get it from the Samsung Apps on my GSII. Please press thanks since I recommended this app to you.
I use the app ES File Explorer which have WebDAV & FTP. Really good app. It can be also used in a rooted device.

This is my second similar question. Kies sees my tablet as GT-P7510. Says also this version device cannot be updated???? And menus such Basic info, Sync, Import/Export and Backup/Restore are missing. Just an orange bar. From library, transfer to device menus are greyed.
Have I accidentally changed something on my tablet? Do you have similar problem. I dont want to reset my device. It is not rooted yet, so havent done a Titanium backup.
Doesnt anyone use Kies? It was a simple question
I got it to work for a short while but the program is awful. I just FTP my files on now using swiftp. Works really well and fast. Or I use doubletwist for music.
The only thing i wanted to do is to sync my notes, calendar and whatnot which were already synced from my Gtab 7 inch. I sent my notes to dropbox, emailed to myself, but the outcome was garbage. The 2 tabs have different file handling it appears.

Nobody's answering because it has been posted several times not to use Kies.
If you want to have problems, use Kies. If you want to keep your tablet safe, use Odin.
Kies is terrible in every aspect, not to mention the crap that force-installs into your PC.
All you need to do is plug-in your tablet in your Windows 7 PC, it will automatically download all drivers from Windows Update and allow you to sync nicely music/videos with Media Player. It can't be easier than this... not to mention that the Microsoft drivers work perfectly with Odin. That's how I flashed my P7510 to get rid of the creepy TouchWiz.
If you want to perform Samsung software updates, do it directly on the tablet:
Settings > About tablet > System updates
I asked this question in the 7" tab forums, didn't release there was a 10.1
Has anyone had any luck with automatic syncing of folders from their PC to their tab over their home wifi connection?
We don't have unlimited data here, so can't use a service such as Dropbox.
I basically want to setup a folder on my PC which holds recorded TV, digital books, etc... and when I get home and my tablet picks up the wifi network - it sync the content in that folder.
Running Windows 7... all the applications I've tried either time out, or corrupt the data on the tab... I've also been unable to get the FTP versions working stable.
Try SugarSync. You'll be amazed
SugarSync in great but it is cloud based app.
If you need "pure" wi-fi sync try SimpleSync.

Doesnt seem to be compatible with the 10.1?
I can't tell you for sure. Sorry. I don't have 10.1. What is exactly the problem?

Synx might fit the bill?

Thanks - ended up returning my tablet because of the display issues, 2 with dead pixels, 1 with newton rings...
Might go for the Asus Transformer...or wait for something else, will try them.
Sorry to hear that, I returned 2 Asus Transformers with similar issues. I hope you get a good Tablet whatever the manufacturer.
What would be the difference in using a sync program to download music/videos versus just copying it to the tab?
Because copying it to the tab would requre the USB connection.
Instead of a wifi sync, why not just mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab. This is what I do.
Of course this requires a custom kernel that has cifs module.. but totally worth it.
Gotcha. So its just easier to copy through wifi, so you can freely add and move songs and have it update w/o having to connect. Which SYNC program do you use? I would use dropbox, but I dont want it to sync all my other drop box stuff.

I'm not sure you get wheat I am saying. I don't use a sync program but simply share via my network drive that is mounted on my tab. When I want to copy to local storage, I just use any file manager app.

Could you explain how to mount a windows/cifs network folder onto your tab? Thanks.
You can try this - websharing
It's free in android market.
I set up network shares on my windows PC, then I use File Manager HD to copy files from the network shares to my tablet.
This seems like a better and easier option to me than trying to get a custom kernel and setting up a share on the tablet.
I assume setting up a network share would be something that was always on and open. On a tablet it could be a constant drain as it would be another constant running process, and also it could be a security risk as you take your tablet out onto open public wifi access points.
leaving the sharing to your home PC, on only your home network seems like the better option.
I haven't tried it but the WD Live drive with the WD2go software is listed as being able to sync folders with mobile devices.
I have tried the WDphotos with one of our WD NAS drives at work and it did work.
Hi, I'm new here
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 (3 days ago) and enjoying it.
I do have two "problems":
1. Yesterday I sent a MMS to a friend, and he recieved it rightaway. Today, I tried to sent one today but I got an error sayin "Error in server response"?
I've tried to update from my carrier (Telia, Denmark), where my carrier sends a config I have to install. Reboot. and then nothing. I tried to type it in manually via APN settings.
2. I changed from iPhone 3g to this phone, and I'm liking it much more. BUT! I can't sync with iTunes. And I have alot of unchecked songs I DON'T want on my phone and playlists I do want. I've tried downloading some free apps that should be able to sync with iTunes. Easy Phone Tunes is close, but I can only sync one playlist? Easy Phone Sync looks perfect, but it's only for UK users apparently :/.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike
please help me :-(
MMS is fixed now. Don't know how though, but it works!
Still need to find an iTunes sync program/app :/?
I've personally never used it before, but my friend uses Double Twist Player and says it works well for an iTunes experience.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I've tried that program, and it says that my phone should be in Mass Storage Mode. BUT, I can't pick the songs I want. for example: I have a 90's hip hop smart-playlist, and I don't want ALL of the songs.. (I have unchecked quite a few in iTunes) but when I sync with DoubleTwist, it doesnt give me the option to uncheck :/
Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?
Regards,
F

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

Hmm, very strange. I use the one I mentioned on my tablet. but i connect my phone to the VNC server so i can pause videos when the tablet is plugged into the TV.
I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?
Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.

Samsung sync does work well, but it is not lightweight. Has anyone been able to get a VNC server working on the S5? I have tried a bunch of apps with no luck.

I am trying to set this up tonight as well.
I have an S23U with up-to-date software and a Mac Book Pro running OS Ventura 13.2.1. I have installed 'Android File Transfer' on the laptop as directed by the software but the laptop and phone will not connect, despite my switching both off and on, trying other USB-C cables, etc. Has anyone any suggestions as to why this might be, please? As things stand I can only transfer files wirelessly (and slowly) via Google Drive. Edit - I have now tried uninstalling and re-installing AFT, removing Kies and Smart Switch apps from the laptop and enabling developer status on the phone to allow USB de-bugging. Nothing has allowed the phone to be connected to the Mac Book Pro. BTW, I assume I don't need to install AFT on the phone as well, as that isn't mentioned on their site?
When you have the usb plugged into the pc and phone do you have a notification on the phone that says something like usb connect or charging or something? If so I'd tap that notification and it opens an android setting that lets you choose what to do with that usb connection charging, file transfer, etc. Make sure that it is on file transfer. Default is charging. And if this isn't the issue then I'm no more help because i have no other ideas

Yes, all that is set correctly. Thanks for trying. I'm mystified and rather worried that I seem to be the only one experiencing this issue.
If all else fails you could always set up a local network folder so you don't have to use gdrive so it wouldn't have to go to internet and back it would just be over your network

If you have gdrive syncing in the Macbook, quit it and then run the AFT. It will connect to the phone. This is a known bug in Mac OS.

Yes, I've removed both of those from the laptop and the phone has never had them. It seems hard to avoid the conclusion that Samsung have made it impossible to connect the S23U (and other S23s?) with AFT to transfer files - a commercial decision, perhaps? Looks like I'll have to go back to GD. I'm a keen photographer and have ony just taken the plunge into phone photography (I still use my proper cameras most of the time) so I use the 200mp setting a lot - hence large files and slow transfer on GD, but so be it.

There's another app called openMTP. You could try that or file transfer using ADB. ADB is foolproof and will work as long as the computer recognizes your device.
Thanks for this. I looked up MTP and below is an interesting extract from the blurb - is it correct that AFT is "officially dead"? If so that would explain why I have wasted so much effort trying, but failing, to use it!
OpenMTP overviewOpenMTP is a Free and Open-source alternative to Google's officially dead Android File Transfer app for macOS. Use OpenMTP to transfer files between macOS and Android phone using your phone's USB cable.

Well, there hasn't been an official statement from Google but as far as I know AFT is not being updated anymore and left on its own.

OK, again - thank you. I have tried OpenMTP and it doesn't work, despite my having followed all the FAQs, etc. ADB is above my abilities, requiring as it does a knowledge of 'programming-speak'. Looks like I only have GD as my option - perhaps I am unusual in having an Android phone and an Apple laptop, but I wouldn't have thought it was that rare. Is it thought on this forum, I wonder, that Samsung have pulled out all the stops to make their new products as incompatible as possible with Apple's?

Have you enabled Firewall on your Mac?
If so, you'll have to add this app as an exception, so your phone can communicate with it.
Alternatively, you can setup/ enable SMB service on your Mac and then connect to it using a file manager on your phone. This doesn't require internet to work. Same holds true for other file transfer protocols like SFTP, FTP, etc.
If you're not aware of these, let me know and I'll help you set it up.
