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?

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.
I'm having trouble with Notpod (formally iTunes Agent), here's the problem: When I try to select the folder on my Sony to copy to, I cant... it's grayed out. I believe this may be due to needing to change the USB connection mode but I cannot do this on the phone.
I've already seen that my laptop sees my Sony as a mobile device in stead of a removable disk, part of the whole problem I think?
Btw, I noticed that someone already asked the same question, but no one answered it in the end...
Try this maybe it help u

Itunes can't sync with XPS cuz its connected via MTP mode and not MSC. If your phone is unlocked and rooted, what gm007 suggested might help.
Sony Mobile did release a Mac apps for XPS, Sony Bridge for Mac. Although a lot of users are reporting issues of processes hanging endlessly while syncing music and photos. Apparently, they are aware of this issue and are still investigating and gathering more info.
I think DoubleTwist allows you to do this?
Not sure if it works with the SXS though
Thanks for all the advice! Anyone has another suggestion than DoubleTwist?

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.
I have searched, Googled,etc. and have concluded that there is no easy or consistent way to sync photos, video or music between the HOX+ and Macs running Mountain Lion. If this is wrong I would very much appreciate any info on how one is able to do this.
This is the one thing that keeps me from buying the HOX+ over the Galaxy S3 which has the Kies and Kies Air apps and the Nokia 920 which has the WindowsPhone app. I have tried syncing both the S3 and 920 with my iMac with 10.8.2 and while neither sync is as trouble free as the iPhone5 at least with a little tweaking one can get the job done.
Does HTC really intend to just ignore the Mac base or is this situation just temporary?
Thanks for any help.
They are made to sync with the Google options, not the Apple options. If you want it to sync up right then use Google mail, music, talk, Picasa, G+ and other things. If you expect it to sync with iPhoto and iTunes then you are kidding yourself, I'd NEVER expect good support for those.
I'm a Mac user too, but I live in reality.

It feels like you didn't even read his post... he's not asking for solutions that sync with the native Mac applications, he just wants sync software of some sort that supports the HOX+.
fmcgirt, have you looked at HTC Sync? I've never used it, but it seems to fill the role you are looking for. http://www.htc.com/uk/software/htc-sync-manager/
Thanks for the response but the reality of my situation is that we have family members with iPhones and Android devices which currently all coexist nicely (sync contacts and calendars) on iCloud and music and photos with iTunes and iPhoto. And I don't expect good support but my point was that I haven't found ANY support for the HOX+ - not even that of the Kies variety for the S3. So I guess you are telling me that in order to own the HOX+ I will need to convert everything to Google services which of course can't happen.

When I was searching I think I found that HTC Sync has not been updated to work with Mtn Lion or at least nobody had seemed to get it to work yet. If it would work it would be fine or also Double Twist or something like that but there seems to be some "gotchas" in everything I looked at. Thanks for the suggestion. It was the type of feedback I was hoping for.

That is really good news about the HOX+. I also have gotten it to work using AirSync for the G3 but that is the first I had heard about the HOX+.

Have you been able to get it to work over USB? I had it working with airsync when I was at home, but now I am at school and they block network communication within the network and I can't get airsync to work. Any luck with USB?
I downloaded the latest HTC Sync Manager and it works fine on my iMac running 10.8.2 and the HOX+. Had to view the Gallery Camera Shots in the Finder,
move them to the Desktop and then import to iPhoto but otherwise all else seems OK.

I admit the sync stuff can be flaky. What works perfectly fine one time will not connect the next time, etc. What seems to help for me when I can't connect when I know nothing has changed from the last time when it worked is to restart both the Mac and the phone. If that fails then I try uninstalling and reinstalling the Mac apps and usually between these two things I can get the stuff to work but it sure can be a pain.
I would check your USB cable. For the longest time, I could not get things to sync with my Mac until my friend let me borrow his USB cable. Granted I'm running Lion, but I think trying a different USB cable would help. Try a shorter cable.

I think it must be something to do with my phone. I am using the stock cable and never had a huge issue syncing with HTC Sync Manager (crap I know, but on USB it usually seems to work) and then I put Viper XL 1.2 on it and now it cuts out midsync most of the time, sometimes android file transfer works and sometimes not. Just seems hit and miss.

You are not alone, HTC sync manager for OSX is garbage. I can't get mine to sync most of the time. I had to go with doubletwist, which I don't care for, but heck what can you do.
I ended up going with iSyncr. I would agree with what other people say about it being flaky, and with trying a shorter cable.
For file transfer, I've been using the Android File Transfer program from Google (can't find the link right now), and it also works sporadically. The most annoying thing with it, though, is that you need to keep your screen on while transferring files, or else it seems like the Mac thinks the phone is leaving USB Debugging mode.
My wife has a crappy old Dell that I had to break out when I unlocked and rooted with Hasoon's tool. Otherwise you should be able to get by without it.
FWIW, iSyncr did just an okay job with iTunes playlist. I'm thinking of just going with Spotify for all my music since I'm a subscriber anyway.
As for calendar, photos, etc, it would seem that the best bet would be set up your Apple services to sync up with your google account. For example, my wife has an iPhone 4, and I set her whole phone up to sync with gCal, gMail, etc. If she had a Mac I'd probably just set iCal and Address Book to sync with that. As for photos, I think you may be SOL, unless iPhoto has some sort Dropbox sync or other service I'm not aware of.
Am I missing something, or should it be pretty straight forward using a USB cable to connect to a computer? My computer will read the phone in download mode (make the sound of plugging it in) but wont read when phone is on. Looking into status of the phone, it reads AC charging rather than USB charging. Is there a setting Im missing to change it or what?

You can also go to Samsung's website, to the support section and find the downloads for the Note 3. You'll find USB drivers there as well. At least I did for my Note 2
Alright, tried kies, still nothing. Doesnt show the device connected. As for drivers, went to samsungs website and went to phone, under download shows no drivers.
EDIT: Figured it out. For some reason I was under the impression you couldnt use the supplied cable because of the 3.0 part. Used it any and computer found it immediately so now I'm up and running. Thanks guys.
Any luck transferring bookmarks? I successfully transferred all music and photos, I can't find the bookmarks file on my htc evo 3d. Tried my backup pro but am not ready to plunge into the root world. Appears as if backup imported bookmarks but I don't know why they're not appearing in browser bookmarks. Yes I checked "my files" app, don't know what they're titled or how to get access through browser. Any painfully obvious technique I'm missing. I'm sure many people are anxious for a answer. Thanks in advance!
I haven't had that issue, since I just restored all with titanium backup. If you still have your old phone, can you export your bookmarks to another browser, say dolphin and then back them up?

I thought that would work, but bookmarks to sd (a Dolphin browser plug in/extension) has been removed from Google play and side loading gives a prompt stating there is no tool (program) to open it with. The only app I've gotten to work so far is my backup pro. It only transferred bookmarks to the Chrome browser, but only a fraction of them. Do I need to root in order to use titanium? Thanks for your response!
