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...

I've been trying to share internet with my SGS2 to my girlfriend macbook air with no success.
I installed kies and driver (via kies internal menus) but when I plug the device with the usb cable nothing happens on the computer.
I tried with or without MTP mode, but nothing happens, even kies doesnt shows any device connected.

Thanks, but its a paid solution..
plus, The phone has usb tether built in, so why cant it work?
Anyone?
Its very important for me, but the topic went far far away in the last few pages...
So I got my SGS3 yesterday and noticed that the Android File Transfer app won't work, which used to work well when I owned a Galaxy Nexus. I tried it on 2 different Macs and it won't work on neither. The app does not recognize the phone being connected.
When I connected it on windows (bootcamp, same Mac) it was recognized, so it's not a hardware fail, it's a software bug.
My Q is, has anybody successfully managed to use the Android File Transfer app together with a Galaxy S3.
Thx, all the help greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I just tried setting the USB Connection mode to Camera (PTP) and Android File Transfer now sees my phone. Everything is fine.
But, DAMN YOU SAMSUNG, code more carefully!
Thanks! This helped me out as well! Was worried something was wrong with my new phone .
enabling camera/PTP mode for usb connection
Hi, I am struggling with this problem of AFT not working with samsung S3. Could you elaborate on how and where to make this change in USB setting - is it on the camera or macbook pro?

On your phone, when connected to the AFP program on your mac, you'll see a USB symbol in the notification area. Pull it down and you'll see it says something like 'Connected as media device' and it'll give you options underneath that to change it. Select that and you'll get to a settings page which will allow you to set your phone as a media device ((MTP) or as a camera (PTP) - do the latter and it should work fine.
I have to say, I love this phone but am not overly enamoured with the mac syncing aspect of it. Most apps in the store are flaky at best or don't work at all, TBH. Using the above method, I've managed to get my media over to the phone by dragging/dropping from iTunes and iPhoto.
Problem is, I still can't find a way for my computer to - reliably - see my phone as a camera when I plug it in e.g. invisible to iPhoto and Image capture.
If you find a way around my problem, please post it up. HTH.
get an app called airdroid (xfer via browser) or file expert & use a FTP program to transfer files from your Mac to the S3
I was going to say that it was another way that Apple is trying to boycot Samsung's phones along with all the suing going on lol.

Thanks for that. Had a look at Airdroid and it seems really slick. Pity though, as it has issues with external storage.
Never mind, I'm dragging/dropping stuff from iPhoto/iTunes to folders which I the keep in sync with CheetahSync. It's all a bit inelegant, but it does the job for now.
hey guys, i'm having an issue with the file transfer. Did what the OP stated above and I can see both internal memory and SD, but when i tried to drag and drop from Finder it is giving me an error, saying my screen is locked (even when it isn't) and asking me to reconnect. anyone else have this problem? for now i'm transferring using File Explorer but its a pain in the ass. thanks!
EDIT: really weird, first file i tried was an mp3 and it kept giving me an error, now i'm moving an avi and looks like its working. apologies
Still having trouble
I'm having serious trouble with AFT and tried what's been suggested here but it's still not working for me.
I've installed AFT on my MacBook (OS X Lion).
All that happens is in all tries is that when I plug in the S3, AFT simply says:
"Could not connect to device
Try reconnecting or restarting your device"
I tried both with no luck. I tried it with selecting Camera (PTP) mode and then with Media device (MTP) mode. No luck. I tried both with and without "USB debugging" selected. No luck. I tried reinstalling AFT. No luck. Restarting my MacBook. No luck.
Any ideas?
Don't connect it its mtp connect it as a camera

Just a heads up. Installing AFT on my macbook air caused my usb to Ethernet dongles to stop working. AFT had to be removed to fix them. Applecare are aware and IIRC blame Google.

You're right as it doesn't seem to recognise the S3 at all when on MTP but AFT starts up each time I select PTP (i.e. my Mac recognises it when in the Camera mode) but I just end up getting the "Could not connect to device, Try reconnecting or restarting your device" message.
Strangely enough AFT needs the phone to be in camera mode to work.
But KIES for OSX needs the phone to be in MTP mode. I couldnt get wireless kies to work (but didnt try all that hard either)
well we've found another reason never to buy a mac
i dont have an s3 but i was googling this issue, i havent got a samsung device on ics working on my mac yet, my tf101 tablet just decided to work today after numerous errors about it not being connected.
AFT used to work, no longer does
Hi
I had this problem when I just got my Galaxy S3 at the end of May, and switching the connection mode to camera (ptp) did the trick. Now, however, regardless of the connection type I have chosen or whether or not I have enabled debugging, I cannot use AFT. At no point does it recognize my device, it just keeps telling me "No Android device found. Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started." I have reinstalled the program and still no luck.
Further info: I'm running 10.7.4 on an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro
Please help
Samsung changed something in firmware LFB that doesn't allow AFT to connect in MACs anymore.

Yeah, MTP never worked for me on my Macbook, while PTP worked as a workaround until LFB (and later). With LFB changing to PTP (by default) pops up Image Capture, which, if everything worked as it should, is what you'd expect I suppose. The problem is that Image Capture doesn't find any pictures on the device even though it recognises that an I9300 is connected - and Android File Manager now doesn't work in either MTP or PTP mode.
So I am not the only one not being able to transfer files using AFT? Or has someone figured it out?
Well I run KIES now and open the file browser that way. The only way I could make work on OSX. On windows I have no problems just connecting it and accessing.
I have this problem two samsung please fix this

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!

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

Its likely that your having a problem with your internet connection and that's causing the Play Store not to load. Try unplugging your modem that your ISP gave you, waiting 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. After you have done that reset your router (Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in). If that still doesn't work check your cable connections and make sure that everything is plugged in properly and securely and that nothing has accidentally been unplugged, and everything has power. If things still aren't working properly call your ISP (Internet service provider) and make sure there is no outages of service that are causing your internet not to connect. Hope these suggestions help

Try doing a battery pull to see if that works for you.
I have my GS3 I9300 for a couple months now. For the several time I tried to use it as a hotspot, it wouldn't connect to my laptop wirelessly.
It shows up on my laptop that is available, and when I connect to it, I get an error. Connecting the tether through USB works fine, I just can't seem to find out why the wifi isn't working.
Anyone have the same problem?!?
can other devices connect to your SGS 3 ?
have you tried to manually add the network that you've created?
i would also check if it works when you set your device as an open hotspot without a password/
OP i should edit the threads title unless you are after cookery advice .

Did you set it to allow connection from any device. At the top of the tether configuration page you can change it.
If you enabled it but did not add your laptop to the white list then nothing will be able to connect even without passwords.
