Can the 4g touch sync up with a computer?

I was told that the touch can sync up with the computer, share files, get music etc. Not just outlook, but real files. If so, how can you do this?
Thanks in advance

Haven't tried with this phone, but the Epic OG could not sync with outlook contacts even with Kies Air

Thanks guys.

I downloaded Kies and I connected Epic 4G touch through USB and it doesn't recognize it.
It's always "connecting..."
and nothing.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Windows 7 could not find/install a driver either for this phone.

Yes and speaking of AllShare I downloaded it today and installed it on my HTPC and it worked like a charm. I can sit back on the couch and play what ever media I have on my phone on the computer.
I have a HTPC and its connected to my NON Samsung 42 inch 1080P tv. Now my phone cant talk to the tv but it can talk to the PC by having Kies and AllShare installed.
Kies is good to manage the phone via wifi and AllShare is good to play your media on your phone on the NON DLNA supported tv's ( via pc ).
Worked great, played a 1.5 hour movie today and not one skip, hicup or anything using AllShare. Also tested using pictures and music, all worked like a charm.
If you have a DLNA compatable tv from Samsung then you will not need AllShare installed on the pc. The phone will talk directly to the tv.
If you want to "manage" your phone ie sync, copy and move or just do managment type things I would use Kies. If you want to play your media on your tv then use AllShare.

Fyi, if you want to do the traditional usb connection sync, usb debugging in the application development settings must be enabled. Odd, I know, but it is the case.

Like most android phones it will most likely be drag and drop. But if you want to sync your music their are some great options you can use double twist, or you can use winamp (which has free wifi syncing) and who knows how many others. Your phone as always will be sync with google services calender, gmail, etc.

Umm USB Mass Storage?
When does an Android come with Syncing software?
Unless by Galaxy Nexus you mean iPhone and my sync software out mean iTunes.

Nexus phones usually don't have that kind of software since the things you would want to sync are synced to your Google account using the internet anyway.
In my opinion, syncing with a computer is something that shouldn't be necessary anymore and it isn't for most things.

When ICS was announced, Matias Duarte detailed that Chrome Bookmarks will sync with the browser as a part of the software. No drag and drop/sync needed.

Android phones don't require a Syncing software. Basically syncing is an option. With an Android you can literally own the phone for years without ever needing to connect it to a computer. Everything from apps to upgrades do not require a computer. When you download an app from the Android market on your desktop/laptop it does not require you to connect your phone, it installs the application for you downloading over the air.
Edit: Android was meant to be an accessible OS. That meant that no strings would be needed. The idea of android was to be able to create one OS that could run on multiple devices of different classes. This would mean being distributed in countries where computers where computers are not accessible. Android does not require a computer allowing it to be sold in markets where competing phone OSs do not have a chance.

How do you get music from your computer to the phone if it isn't connected ?

Stream it from the internet or do what I do and push it over your home network with adbWireless

I have unlimited data no problem for me I also use google beta and paid pandora and hardly use my own music on my phone but for people that don't have unlimited data your going to have to connect to get that music synced so is it drag and drop for this or is it some software ? connection required

Drag and drop. Android always has been and hopefully always will be. There's nothing more annoying and unnecessary than sync software.

Well I don't expect someone to try to but it is more then possible to use an Android device without connecting it to a computer at any point in its life. If you want music you can download it from a cloud storage like Amazon or Music beta.
...I think for the first month of owning my Galaxy Nexus I will not connect it to my computer at all. 10gb data in one month.

That will be cool..

The way I have my Google Music set up:
- I installed the Google Music software on to my computer and have it configured to sync all my music
- I have iTunes so when I download new music it syncs automatically with Google Music.
Sorry, still no connection required
P.S. If you don't have iTunes, Google Music will sync with specific folders on your computer.

How does this not require a connection?
The Google Music Beta software syncs music on your computer to the cloud, you'll still need to use bandwidth on your phone to get the music from the cloud to the phone. Unless you drag and drop your iTunes music folder to the phone, or use yet another piece of software to sync music from iTunes to your phone.

Not sure what you mean...
1) Android phones don't use or need syncing software. You just USB mass storage and drag-n-drop files into the phone
2) if it did come with software, how would we EVER know? The phone doesn't exist in the wild yet...

yeah I use bandwidth by streaming using the Google Music app. By Connection I thought he was talking about a physical connection (USB).

[Q] Desktop sync app that supports MTP and reasonably useful?

Hi!
What desktop apps are available to sync (read: transfer back and forth) music, videos, and photos for the Galaxy S III (which you know only supports MTP; no microSD card)?
I already tried:
1) Kies locks up when downloading podcasts, doesn't "Transfer to Device" (just sits there), and doesn't integrate with Google Play (!).
2) DoubleTwist and Miro (tried both) only support USB Mass Storage and not MTP.
What...is this even possible? I'm a little taken aback, seeing as this phone is purportedly the top Android phone out now. I just want it to sync with Google Play, add some podcasts, and move some photos around. And, honestly, I can just download the files from Google Play, so I just want to add podcasts and move pictures, lol.
Thanks in advance.

AFAIK its Kies or bust. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Shucks, you might be right. So, I tried Kies again. It actually did "Transfer to Device!" But, for whatever reason, it took about a few minutes to start (some file I had was missing and it got stuck).
And, for whatever reason, now Podcasts are downloading, too! Humph...maybe I was having a bad day with it. But, no Play Store integration: I guess I don't really need that.
Thank you for the reply; it motivated me to try again!

Check out easy phone sync... It's not available in some regions. For music, I use easy phone tunes to sync with itunes.

iTunes Sync with DoubleTwist

Hi guys, I've just learned that the Note 2 doesn't offer exclusive access to the partition, hence no mass storage mode when connected over USB. My issue right now is syncing with iTunes via DoubleTwist still goes through as a "Generic Device" but I cannot see the music anywhere on my phone, either through both my music players (Jet Audio/DoubleTwist) or physically in a file.
Any ideas or suggestions of where to find this music would be appreciated.

Turns out it never synced in the end. Got Airsync and worked out beautifully after needing to get my computer to sync through though I will try isyncr to compare.

If there are any issues with iSyncr USB or WiFi, please contact me at [email protected]. Would be happy to help with anything that is going on with our application.
Take it easy.

This new iTunes sync app just came out called 'iThink", check it out.

[Q] Seriously, Can Anybody actually Sync Playlists on this Phone???

I mean this is ridiculous that a top tier phone is so difficult (impossible) to sync playlists on, I am also pretty knowledgable regarding digital music, phones, and computers and still cannot get this working after months. Using MTP i can occasionally get ONE playlist to sync using winamp but when i try to do more it will erase the other ones or clear them out. I then got an app that puts my external SD card ino mass storage mode and that almost works but after adding about 20 songs to a playlist only 5 or so actually showed up. Doubletwist does not work. Windows Media player did not work. Using Kies it puts the songs on my phone but not the playlists.
If anybody can actually do this please share how. I used to have a captivate and this was as simple as it should be. So frustrating that i have spent this much time on it and still haven't gotten anywhere.

I just copy music over WiFi with es file explorer. Shared off some folders on my Windows box and I'm good to go

it's not getting the music on there that is the problem it is the actual playlists. I want to be able to go through all my music on my computer and make playlists then transfer them onto my phone and it is damn near impossible.

hm, i never got around to it myself, i just dump all my music on a 64GB MicroSD and there they are, but my mom sync'ed playlists i think with windows media player on my old GS3. MTP mode, debug in developers options ON.

It's more about what program you're using. I personally use isyncr. Though I find it strange that winamp isn't working.

Try "easyphonesync" from the playstore.

i'll check out a couple of the suggestions. It's actually not even so much an issue of 'syncing' the playlists either, more so just being able to transfer them one way from my computer to my phone

+1 for rsync
I shopped around for a couple of weeks for software to sync my playlists AND music. (I'm on Mac OS)
I couldn't find anything better. Give it a shot.
