Not able to transfer MKV files to the SIII... Do we need to convert the files... Coming from HTC One X.
Must be your PC specific problem, what windows you got? I'm on windows 7, it asks me if I want to convert or just transfer, select just transfer and it's done.

Hello,
I got my first Android Device Samsung Galaxy S2 today after 3.5yrs. iOS.
Now as I want to get away from iTunes I see that I need (???) to install Kies from Samsung.
Is that right?
How do you transfer your media (music,video and photo) from your local HDD's to the Device?
Are you using kies or not and why/when to use Kies and what is the difference if I use Kies or not?
I copied a bunch of .mp3 music via Windows Explorer to my SD card and would like to create a playlist directly from kies on the Device but the option "create playlist on GT-9100" is greyed out!?
Sorry for asking stupid questions but I really would not like to use additional software so plz make me clear why I should use Kies and for which situations!?
Do pictures have to go into the DCIM folder or does the S2 automatically scan the whole CD card?
Music copy and paste to songs / Videos/ folder on external sd card .
all music is AAC+
Never used Kies for transfer and i dont use playlists .

Just copy all of your music from your iTunes folder on your hd and paste it straight to your usb storage on your phone. No need for Kies. It's a terrible program anyway. All your music will automatically added to the phone's music library.

Yes! I hate it already :-(
How do you sort (folder or directory structure) your media files?
How about photo's and albums?
When I copy my picture/photo folder I get the error message in Win Explorer that the Device I copy it onto doesnt support the files (.png) or the Device doesnt support the photo format!?

It does the same for some Video-formats, but I could play them alright
you just copy and paste from your HD to your phone, plug in the USB cable and mass storage device pops up.
make folder called MP3s and put in your music, make one called videos and put in your movies. done. the phone takes care of the rest.
Hey guys,
Have any of you found a way to copy files from your PC to the tablet using DLNA? I've been able to stream and view stuff but haven't been able to copy anything over. This should be possible right?
No, DLNA does not support file transfer, only streaming media. If you want to transfer file via LAN, then use a file manager like Astro (need SMB plugin for LAN), or File Manager HD.
That's interesting. When I connect to my PS3 through DNLA (media servers) I am able to copy photos and other media to the console.
I'll try out what you recommend as well. Thanks for the help.
I'm using ES File Explorer to copy files from my PC.
Hi friends,
I had tried to look for win rar in the market but I didn't get it.
what I want to do, I had took a video of my daughter which is 22mb long I wan to email that to my in-laws .
I was thinking to make a archive with win rar 10mb+10mb+2mb like we do with movies, so that I can email these archives.
do anybody know any alternative of win rar.????????
Hmmm you can download unrar, but that's only going to help decompressing. I suggest using dropbox or usb get it onto a computer and just use win rar from there..

If you have a file explorer installed, it will surely let you compress the file, then the easiest way to share it could be as suggested, dropbox or any file uploading pages (megaupload, rapidshare, etc...). That way you don't need to reduce the file to avoid attachment limits of your email.
Use Archidroid, it can make archives.

Has anyone encountered/encountering this issue with writing files in SD/ExtSD Card? I'm using CM10 Nightly
Issue: When I create a file using my phone (ex app is ASTRO File Manager) it gets created properly. But when I attach the s3 using usb in my windows laptop, the file is not there. Another example is when I download a video using TubeMate, the file is there and I can play it. But again when I look the file using windows. It's not there. I tried to restart my fone... and finally it was there... but modifying/creating/adding files using the phone is not being recognize REALTIME by windows... how to resolve this?
addition
BTW, when I add/modify files using windows explorer it gets reflected right away in my s3? But it's not the other way around.
Hey guys!
I have a problem ...
I use an app for courses (Udemy) and it have the option to download courses for offline watching.
Did it. I can watch the app offline, but wanted to move to the PC. I found the files in the folder:
android / data / com.udemy.android / files / udemy-final-downloads
Within this folder I have several folders, each containing one video of the course. The problem is that when plug the mobile in PC most of the files do not appear.
In short: I can see all the phone but the PC does not appear the most.
I've tried with linux and windows. Already asked to view hidden files and resolves nothing.
Has anyone had similar problem?
Obs.'s Mobile phone is a Moto X.
Thanks Guys!

Move the files or folder to your highest directory. Should be something like /storage/emulated/0. FYI, your device has to be unlocked (meaning PIN or pattern or password or whatever) to open anything on the phone on your PC.

That's weird. How about uploading them to cloud storage, like DropBox or Google Drive?
I tried it too. The files are very big 4.8 GB and always stop. I'll try do it littke files at time.
Send to PC over Bluetooth?
Delete and re-download them to a location of your choosing?
Copy via PC or SDCard
You can locate the folder as you did, thus:
android/data/com.udemy.android/files/udemy-final-downloads
copy it to memory card or flash using otg if your device supported it. Otherwise, you copy it to your PC, I used Ubuntu to copy the folder. Afterwards open and rename each course (file) accordingly, but is a very tiresome task.
Hope this will help.

I have the same problem.
My course has 297 lectures

I ran ls -l from terminal as su to check the sequence - they are downloaded in sequence - and I am using the time sequence to rename them in order numerically

What protocol are you accessing the files from your PC? Are you using MTP, MSC, etc...?
May i suggest that you install ES File manager, use it's remote manager (which uses ftp) to check if you can see the files.
Personaly for transfering files between my Droid and my PC, because MTP is so utterly slow I use an app called "MTP-alternative" which allow you to tranfer files over USB but uses the Wedav protocol and is really quick. (if it works, bear in mind that when transfering files to your mobile it copy them in /data/local/tmp which gives the impression that the files aren't transfered to your mobile)

udemy downloader

Hey, i realize this is very late but i hope my answer will help others. I had to do something simillar and i found a very simple work around. all you have to do is download winrar or any other app that can archive files/directories. Use the app to make an archive of the Final Downloads folder which contains all the other nested folders with the videos in them. Now you can connect your phone to your computer and transfer the .rar or .zip file over and extract it on your desktop.
Thanks for your answer, this is worked for me. The problem is solved now.
