Thanks mate. This is fantastic. Kies air works fine. BTW, how does Kies wifi work?

kies wifi is sync adapter between ur phone and computer ... aka thru wireless. In order for internet tethering and sharing you will need KiesDataRouter.so in the /system/lib file change permissions and thats it !!

Looks like the Kies Air now available on Samsung Apps is a later version than this one

Make KIES work on OSX Mountain Lion

Ok so this definitely worked for me (Finally!), so I wrote down the exact steps I took so you can try it on your machine. I haven't installed anything different on my iMac like drivers for Samsung or whatnot, but I did have a functioning KIES prior to Mountain Lion update. I uninstalled KIES since receiving Mountain Lion since it stopped working for me.
- Download the latest version of Samsung Kies: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
- Open the downloaded DMG
- Once you have the .Kies20mac_S8173.pkg file window with the "Uninstall.app", right click on the KIES20mac_S8173.pkg and open using "The Unarchiver" and extract to a folder (I created a KIES folder on my desktop)
- From here you will see a file called "contents.pkg", Right click and select "Show Package Contents"
- Double click "Payload", it will create a file called "Payload-1", (at least it did for me)
- double click "Payload-1" and it will create another file called "Payload-1-1"(the payload part seems to have just duplicated so you may only need to do this once. But keep opening until you see the Applications Folder)
- In "Payload-1-1" you'll find the Applications folder, within the Applications folder you'll see the "Kies.app".
- Transfer the Kies.App to the Applications folder and then run Kies.
Should work fine and should also detect your Galaxy S 3.
HOWEVER
If you already have KIES installed but doesn't detect your phone or keeps prompting for update, try this:
1) Open the Kies menu and select Preferences
2) Click on the Update tab at the end
3) Uncheck the 'Notify when updates are available'
4) Close and restart Kies.
5) Now try connecting your device.
Or try uninstalling your current installation of KIES and try following the steps I listed above.
FYI, I am running a rooted stock ROM for Rogers with Kalagas Theme installed.
I hope this works for you too

I got it installed, but Kies refuses to detect my phone. I reinstalled drivers and still nothing. It says "connecting" but never connects.

I had this at first but I tried a different USB port and it eventually detected my phone. I also tried toggling Camera >< MTP
I also found that using a JellyBean ROM it has a harder time detecting, I oft have to reconnect my USB a couple of times.

I thought this had been confirmed to only work if you ALREADY had Kies installed before upgrading to ML?
I tried and it doesn't work on a new install.

WHat I did was install the latest Kies for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it worked perfectly fine for me, no modifications needed.

Link?

Cool now we just need a tutorial on getting kies to run on windows!

New Kies came out yesterday. the non working version found and update. It installs on Mountain Lion and works.

Not working here either. Sucks using Kies.

There is a widely documented issue with this software and OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). It doesn't work. Thank goodness for dual booting windows 7 I suppose. It is pretty interesting that the latest Apple software prevents their biggest phone competitor from working properly.

My ML & Note 2 connects perfectly with each other. If you are having issues then try AirDroid from the Play store. There is no need to dual boot but to each their own.

Also, if you have Kies installed, un-install that & try connecting again via AFT.

Guys, AirDroid is great and all, but will not help much when it comes to transferring game and app files etc...

could not use Android File Transfer while Kies was installed. Simply dragging the app folder (Kies) to the trash won't fix the problem either. You have to download and run the Kies installer package but choose UNINSTALL when it starts and it will clean everything up for you. (I suppose there is an agent or two for Kies that is sitting out there.)
After that, AFT works great. (remember to bump up your device lock timeout though or it will disconnect on you if it locks during a transfer!

Thanks! I just googled kies, went to the official samsung/kies website, downloaded the program for my mac, opened up the download, ran the uninstall program, once done I plugged note 2 to my macbook pro via usb and viola! It worked perfectly without having to reinstall kies.

U r my hero!!!

I found out that you cannot have Kies installed and android transfer installed on your Mac at the same time or else android transfer will not work.

Yes, you can't have KIES installed for it to work. It was posted in #5 that KIES must be uninstalled. Sometimes it helps to read the whole thread when there are only a few pages to read. =)

[Q] Photos don't have a preview

I am unable to preview any of the pictures on my phone (neither the photos I have taken with the phone in the DCIM folder nor separate pictures that I uploaded onto my phone) when I connect my phone to my computer. Does anyone else have this same problem on their SGS3's?
I just get the default Windows Image, so it is pretty difficult to sort/delete/organize my photos when I have to click on each one individually to see what the photo is.

Happens to me. Pretty normal. Sucks i know. Better alternative would be save photos to SD card and buy a USB to micro SD card when you want to view/edit them on computer.

Yes, there is an option to install something when you first install kies. Its some sort of video/photo plugin required for Samsung phones. I just seen that recently. Uninstall kies and reinstall and see if u get that option. Then everything works good.
It might just be related to the gs3 cuz i don't remember seeing it before.

I re-installed Kies, but no option came up about installing a plugin. I was prompted to install a codec of some sort though. Still unable to preview my pictures, but through Kies there is some new firmware available. Perhaps when I upgrade my phone to LK4 it will be ok.
Yeah, I think it is related to the SGS3. I had the SGS beforehand, and it never had this issue.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Use titanium backup and freeze them that way you can restore them if need be

I was wondering this question also. I can see in TB that there are a hell of a lot of apps (bloatware?) installed by LG and also a hell of a lot of these same apps running when I view running tasks using the Task Manager app - i.e. taking up RAM, CPU cycles and battery!
Has anybody created a list of what LG apps do what and which are safe to be removed? (I'm guessing that ex G2 owners might have more information about this)
For instance, there is stuff like
Answer Me
App Updates (Can't we just use Play Store?)
com.qualcomm.xxxxx (I'm guessing this is stuff for the Snapdragon APU/SOC?)
EasyHome (The other home launcher that I have never used)
ELTest
Font Server
GNSS Test
GNSS Air Test (CDMA) (I do not and will never use CDMA as I am in Europe so do I need this?)
LG Backup
LG GNSS
LG Health (Can't access this unless ur using the LG Home Launcher I think)
LG IMS
LG Intelligent Agent (^^ Have no idea what most of these apps are or do vv)
LG MLT
LG PC Suite/Service (Do people use the LG PC Suite as I have never used any phone sync app (like Samsung Kies) as all I need is MTP/MSC access)
LG System Server
LGATCMD
LG SearchWidgetProvider
LG SmartcardService
LIA Informant
LIA MrGDBLogger
LIA S4URecommender
Music 4.20.12 & 4.20.15 (Why are there 2 versions of these installed?)
Quickset SDK
Remote support service (I tried to use this but it told me I needed to phone LG to get an access code? Is this service only for certain users?)
Smart Notice (If you are not using the LG Home launcher then do you need this? - I use Nova Launcher and I don't have an option for this widget)
SmartShare.Push
SmartShare.Cloud
Software Update (If u r rooted then this will be useless apart from notifying you that a new update is available)
WAP Service (Is this WAP as in Nokia 6630 WAP internet?)
Wfd Service
Widevine Keybox Test
I was on a CyanogenMod based ROM on my old phone and which only had the essentials installed, so the LG bloatware seems excessive especially since you don't seem able to access the LG apps without using the LG Home Launcher...unless I am mistaken?
I'm guessing that as soon as the bootloader is unlocked and custom ROMS developed then most of this excess will be gone.

Hello
Hello everybody I am new, I recently install a kitkat 4.4.2 cyanogenmod and I have notices that it doesn't have LG PC Suite/Service...
Could someone please give me a way to install this? Please?
Thank you.

I know I'm sorry, but I couldn't find anywhere else to post and I figured that it might be the same thing too, I don't think if you for example were to make a backup with titanium backup and were to upload it, me to download and restore it in my android system on my phone, it wouldn't work, I think it doesn't matter with phone, its like on windows, doesn't matter what components, matters to be the same brand (LG) and thats all.
I think! But again, I'm just a newbie.

AFAIK, (from experience with other phones in the past) you can just install the LG PC Suite in your PC and when it comes to connecting your phone it will send the PC Suite components to your phone for installation.

Ah, well in my G3 I was able to select an option in the settings which then asked me to connect the PC USB cable which then opened a web page on my PC to download the LG PC Suite, so that's the option you must be talking about. I believe then that the PC Suite is already installed on your phone and all it needs is the corresponding program on your PC to function fully?
Does your phone have the LG Update Centre? If so, the PC Suite app might be there?
If that doesn't do what you want then since you are wanting to use a CM based ROM (in which I would imagine that they have taken out most LG apps) and if you can't find the PC Suite stuff anywhere, flash a stock ROM then do a full TB then flash the CM ROM on top so then you can restore any LG apps/services you want.

Thank you guys for all your help, so lets recap what I need is to have the LG suite or Connectivity or whatever its called, service installed on my phone(in the app manager on ALL tab) so that when I connect my phone to the usb cable my PC LG Suite will see that there's a phone on the wire and connect.
Because as it is now, I don't have ANY LG software services installed anywhere on my phone and I have no options to select any kind of connectivity relating to LG Suite in my phone, in the stock you have through wifi or usb.
And you guys are saying that if I install a stock and then restore CM ROM I will have that service? But won't I have all the other crap services too? Or can I just do a Titanium Backup sweep and scrape them all off after?
Isn't there anything simpler I can do to get that 1 service? Like have someone back it up on their phone, upload it and me download it and install it? Backup with Titanium Backup and restore it to my system with Titanium Backup after download
Thanks!
