its supposed to be under settings > wireless but its not. if i look in the app OSMonitor i can see kies via wifi running, so i know its there.
note that i am not talking about kies air, that is a separate program.
I would like to know the same thing
On ICS it's under the more tab of Wireless and network.

I have just picked up a GTab 16gb from PC world, they seem to have stock left despite this ban.
There is a couple of problems I have had already:
I have a MacBook Pro (10.7 Lion) and want to drop some files on to the device. So I installed Kies downloading the latest version from the Samsung website 1.0.0.11081_4. I tried adding some video files to the Kies program. I add a folder, it looks through the folder and then says no video files found!!
Next I though to connect the tab as an external drive. Is this possible?
I know there is wifi transfer apps out there to send files over, but would prefer to do this over cable. Any advice on a way of doing this with a Mac?
Any help is much appreciated
Also I tried connecting with Debugging mode to see if that help. But no success with that either
Also Android File Transfer application doesn't seem to work in normal or debugged mode
This is only way I could transfer files!
My MAC with lion would not connect to the 10.1 wireless or USB. Today on PC World they had an App WIFI File Explorer. Free download crippled and $1.60 Pro version. It is in the Market & Amazon.
I have the pro version and can transfer files wirelessly now. To me it was worth the $ rather than fight with Samsung.
from what I understand, kies doesn't work with lion. snow leopard is the latest OS that it works fairly decent with. And considering the patent wars and rocky relationship, I don't see Samsung really putting any priority in developing support either.
I have the same problem (Lion). To be honest Kies is awful so you're not missing out. I use File Expert to transfer via wifi. Its pretty quick and nice to not have to fiddle with cables.
I hope Samsung stop messing around! iTunes is awful, but Kies is a joke.
Ok glad not just me with problems with Kies on a Mac. It does seem kies is universaly hated.
I have tried a few wireless options, es explorer, ftp server and filezilla which both worked well in transfering the movie files.

Kies does work with Lion - you just need to install an earlier version and then upgrade.
However, whenever I transferred a DivX to my Tab using Kies, there were always playback problems - picture breaking up, artifacts etc. Initially I thought it was a an issue with the tablet itself as they played flawlessly on my Asus TF. However, I tried using a WiFi transfer apps and finally everything clicked into place and I could play the videos correctly.

My experience exactly.
I got Kies on my Mac and then found it was useless.
Wifi transfer of files seems to be the only way to go. Maybe this will improve in the future, but in reality I think wifi transfer will be fine.
Are you sure you you choose the skies in the Setting of your GT before your connecting?
if not, i wonder whether this way can help you:
before you connect your GT to PC, setup your Galaxy Tab for Kies connection following the steps: press the Menu key. In the Menu interface, select Settings>Wireless and network>USB settings>Samsung Kies.
Note: Ensure your USB cable is unplugged.
hope this can help you.
I also have a UK tab and the settings you describe above are not possible. Under wireless and network there are only the following:
Flight mode
Wifi
Wifi settings
Kies Via Wifi (doesn't find Macs)
Bluetooth
Bluetooth settings
VPN
Hello,
My PC has a wired connection to my router, through a cable.
I was trying to activate "Kies Via Wifi" on my S3, while it was connected to my router through wifi. The S3 identified my PC, but when I chose it, It got an error message saying "Kies Via Wifi stopped".
While I did it, Kies program was opened on my PC.
Can "Kies via Wifi" work on computers without a wireless wifi adapter, meaning a computer connected to the router through a wired cable? If yes, how to I make it work?
Thanks!
Anyone...?
It should work fine as long as the phone and pc are on the same subnet. Wireless or wired shouldn't make any difference.

Ok, thanks. This is also whay I thought. But I wonder if someone has actually managed to do it.
The instruction on Kies say refer to "Kies tray agent", which I don't think I have.
And anyway, when I choose my PC, the S3 just go black for 2 seconds, then display the "Kies via wifi stopped" message.

I see the tray task running in Task Manager, but it doesn't show up in the actual tray even after a couple of reboots. There are very weird instructions for it in the help screen, none of which you should have to do - like turn off Internet Connection Sharing? This would almost never be on...
I have Kies installed on my desktop, which uses Ethernet, it couldn't see it. I don't think I'm going to bother to put it on my laptop...If it worked it might be nice for converting videos and what not. Oh well...
This is a avoid kies forum .

Ok, I've verified that the process KiesTrayAgent.exe is running on my PC.
Still, when I choose my PC from "Kies via wifi", the screen goes black for 2 seconds and then the "Kies via wifi stopped" message.
Now, I know that many think that Kies is a bad program. Perhaps it is. But I just hate it when I have a feature that doesn't work at all on my S3...

Bad dont know about that but this is XDA developers forum and Kies is not a tool we use .

Is the "tethering" in settings different than the wifi hotspot, which they want to charge 29.99 a month for? because i notice the hotspot is wifi, but the network settings that just says "tethering" has a usb and bluetooth options only, no wifi... so if i tether through the bluetooth or usb, instead of the wifi hotspot, will that go through? or will i start to see the 29.99 a month charge for 'mobile hotspot' use?
this is a stock phone, not rooted.
thanks
This is the wrong forum since the international S3 (i9300) has a totally different software and hardware layout.
Please go to the correct forum, afaik they have a Sticky with Tethering.
oh, so sorry... I thought I was in the right forums
...so, how do I delete or close this? I'm using the xda app and don't see an option for it
Hola!
I'm looking to use Kies sync over WiFi to sync my S3 with my networked desktop PC. The PC is not connected to my network wirelessly, it is hiredwired into a switch which is in turn wired into my router. The S3 obviously connects wirelessly.
Question then is how do I configure Kies Air to connect to Kies running on the PC? The instructions within Kies suggest I need to 'share my wireless connection' on my PC, but my PC is hard wired. Surely Kies just runs as a listener service on a port and the S3 client talks directly over TCP/IP?
Have Samsung just made this way too complex for themselves and us or am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks for your thoughts!

Any thoughts y'all?

Hi
I tried Kies sync over wifi before and i connected my GS3 with my hardwired computer also. It worked for me.
All i did was connect the same wifi that my computer is hardwired to and it automatically detected in my GS3.
Is there any different procedures that you have made compared to mine to use kies sync over wifi?
Kies via wifi worked for me for the first few days then stopped. I have a hardwired pc. So for several months it hasn't worked. Several kies updates & L win7 & win8.
I read about a fix, go into app settings & find 'kies via wifi' & clear the app data.
I got for the first time the kies setup configuration code to put into kies pc software. I am yet to try to sync as i run out of time. I will let you know how I go

I'm curious as to whether anyone else has USB tethering actually working on rooted stock 2.13.651.1. I've added the 'ro.tether.denied=false' to by system/build.prop and when I connect my phone to the computer, it acts as if it's tethering but no internet is passed thru from the phone to the computer, making USB tether useless as of right now. No, I don't want to use a third party app for it.
Also, is there any way to have my 'always-on mobile connection' enabled, like what used to be available on almost all phones' settings menu?
So... nobody knows?
Guess not... that's disappointing.
