Looks cool but it must be connected to same network (192.168.1.xx)!
I dont really know if you want it to immediately install, but if you dont then use some cloud storage etc. Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and then download it to your phone. But if you want it to be immediately installed after you send it then I am afraid I cant help you.
I think the best way would be some kind ofvpn network way to remote control Your phone

I Will agree with the cloud storage options.
They are easy to set up and is flexible.

Yes! Omg. You guys lack the answer he wants! You log in to the play store on your computer, using the same info as on your phone. Then, find the app you want on your computer and click install. Choose your device, and bam. Done.

that is what i want! But i want to send any apk that way!
Well, if you could upload your apk to there, that would be the best way. You might have to design your own app, unless you can figure out a way to adb over the internet, then you could use adb push and adb install.
Other than that, you have to make your own api for it. And it would only work on rooted phones.

Not true.. Samsung is still supplying Apple with vital chips for their iDevices.. So I'd be careful, what I write.
Download Kies for Mac OS, and then install necessary drivers, then try to sync. If that does not work, there is an app, called AirDroid - Never had problems with it
Hope I could help!

Hi, you can check out SyncMate - it syncs data on Mac with Samsung Galaxy devices (contacts and calendars are synced for free, so you can test it and decide if it is something you were looking for).
Please, note that you will need to uninstall sync tools you have installed on Mac (kies, android sync tool) to ensure the correct work of SyncMate (in fact, if there are more than one sync tool installed, thay can conflict one with another, so my advice is to test each solution separately).
Syncmate +1
works flawlessly even on Custom ROMs. (I am on Syncmate free and CM9)

Fastest app to wirelessly transfer files from phone to PC

I am moving on to a new phone and I need to transfer large files from my phone to my PC using my home network. Actually it's only 3 folders... Whatsapp, Photos and Music but each is about 3gb. My usb connection to my PC is unstable and it randomly drops.

it probably relies on some sammy stock apps and if your rom doesnt have them it wont work. i am on custom rom for N3 that is a full stock S5 port so my N3 is just like s S5 and it works for me.
Anybody have a mirror for the apk? Mega isn't working right now.
Also, Mega sucks in general. What kind of service will let you download directly from the website on the PC, but requires that you download their stupid app if it sees a mobile User Agent? That's some shady crap right there, but it's par for the course when it comes to Kim Dotcom.
EDIT: Never mind, the app is on Google Play and you can download it that way if you have a compatible Galaxy device.

No need to take your phone off the USB cord if you go Wifi. More ways to make you lazy

[Q] Does the Galaxy Gear work with the Galaxy S4 Zoom??

Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks
Yes it does. I have gear version 1. Works fine with zoom S4 on latest 4.2.2

Thank you for letting me know. The version I have a chance of getting is the SM-C105 presumably that's not going to make a difference?!
Did you just download the Galaxy Gear app from the Samsung App Store? Or did you force install the Galaxy Gear app itself?
Also do you have full functionality or have you lost some features like people say the weather doesn't sync, the notifications, etc...??
No you don't need to download gear manager. Just follow the instructions in the Gear box. Turn on nfc and it will connect and start the Gear manager download for you.
I have full functionality. I think people with issues have either messed with or installed non standard software first.
My phone and gear are absolutely stock firmwares with no mods.

I don't understand how you were able to get the Gear to work with the Zoom running the stock rom 4.2.2. When I use the NFC to pair the devices, it opens the Samsung App store on the Zoom and attempts to download the Gear Manager app but I get an error that says "Product does not exist in this store. (4002)"
Is there something that I am missing? Could it be possible that there's a difference between your stock rom 4.2.2 SM-C101 and the one I have SM-C105A?

Hmm ok, this doesn't sound as promising now!!
I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4
After extensive research and numerous attempts, I finally broke down and decided to root my sisters S4 Zoom so that it would be compatible with the Gear.
It was really easy to get setup and probably took 45 mins total, I just never did it before because I tried to get it connected without root.

I didn't need to root to get mine to work. Worked straight out the box.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully the SM-C101 will just work on stock then?
Its odd as there is hardly any info on people sucessfully connecting their Gear to the S4 zoom. Maybe its just because there wasn't many S4 zooms sold??

Is that from the 'Samsung Store'?
I'm getting the same error message when it asks me to download an update for their Video Editor!
Yes. That was from the Samsung store. My FW version is C105AUCUAMJ2 if that helps.
