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

I should have tried before answering, cause it can.
Can Allshare be used in tge same way, or is it only for media files?

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.

I got a notice to download the "AllshareCast Dongle S/W Update" to version LJ02 today. I don't have an AllshareCast dongle and I didn't even know that this app was installed on my phone. I'm wondering why they've pushed it out to everybody (I assume), since I imagine that only a tiny number of people have the app. Seems like it would make sense to install it only for people who actually have the dongle.
I'm thinking about uninstalling or freezing it. Has anybody else received it? Any thoughts?
I received the update last night around 130 am eastern........ Had no clue what it was. I am going to delete in a few minutes

It's supposed to allow the GS3 to update the software on the Allcast dongle that you can attach to TVs and such for device mirroring.

The update is showing as not compatible with my SGS3 if I look at it on the Play Store. Dunno if it's a region thing or the fact I'm rooted with stock?
I'm keen to try this update on my Allshare dongle. Would anyone be able to extract the APK for this update?

Are you on LH9? It seems to only work on LH9 and LI5.
It's not an ATT GS3, so it's not got that firmware on it, but is the latest stock for my region, as far as I know (UK).
I was hoping the APK alone might still work, as it appears to be updating the Allcast dongle itself, rather than being tied to anything on the phone, hardware-wise.
Perhaps Samsung are rolling it out to a select few 'test' firmwares first? I believe I'm on LJ4, but I'm not up on Samsung's firmware terminology - not needed to really stray from rooted stock on this phone.
If you're able to extract the APK, it would be much appreciated

This is a legitimate Samsung update and it is a part of the function that allows you to share the screen with Dlna enabled devices such as blue ray players, wdtv (and other streaming boxes) and hdtv with the function.

Are you sure about that? What you're describing sounds like "AllShare Play" which is a completely different app. Where did you get your information that this app has some connection to DLNA?
I have been using the all share dongle. It is just as described as above. I mirror my phone thru the dongle to and TV with a HDMI port. Or Samsung devices. Play videos games whatever. All share play let's you remote control devices from your phone. All share dongle does work thru some type of dlna service from what I read on Samsung site and other places.
I was using this feature before the update was put out. It now shows up as a installed app. Before the update it was just something you could turn on in settings and still is.
It's the pre configured scan portion for the $90 wifi dongle that you buy to connect to hdmi port on projectors and hdtv displays and or the software for your computer that allows you to share via wifi or Internet.
I bought the MHL connection and carry a cable so when I am in hotels I watch what I want (netflix, Hulu) while the phone charges.
But the address of the developer is legit.

I'm sure that the update is legit. I just want to avoid confusion and misinformation about what it's for:
The Allshare Cast Dongle app supports the Allshare Cast Dongle
The Allshare Play app provides DLNA connectivity to DLNA-capable devices
I believe that the Allshare Cast Dongle does not use DLNA and that this update has no relationship to the Allshare Play app or to DLNA capability. If anybody has good evidence to the contrary, please post it.
That being said, my guess is that this new update being pushed out is useless to the great majority of us who don't have the dongle.
I'm pretty sure All Share Cast is Samsung's version of Miracast.

That's exactly what it is, I don't think the dongle uses DLNA at all.
I've found that this update has been changed to be compatible with my phone (stock UK GS3) over the last few days. It originally was shown as not compatible.
It basically prompts you to update your Allshare Cast dongle firmware when you next connect to it. It updates the dongle firmware - wirelessly - to version LJ02, which appears to have made the dongle connection much more stable, and quicker to establish.
OK, so I installed the update, then uninstalled it when I saw that it was useless for me. Now, I am getting a perpetual update notice in Google Play. Does anybody know a way to make the update notice go away without actually installing the app? The only way I can think of is to install it and then freeze it, but that seems like a waste.

Why do you believe that the email address is legit? If you go to the "Samsung Mobile Print" app in google playstore the developers email is mprint.sec@samsung.com

I just had a quick back and forth with Samsung. It is Not a official app. All official app can be found at www.Samsungapps.com.
Edit: seems that Samsung isn't sure it is or not.... They talked with someone else who says that it is valid. XDA has it marked as bloatware that can be removed.
Edit2: Lookout Security says they've been asked about it before and "We have encountered this in the past and Samsung has stated that this is their app via our contact." I'm requesting it be confirmed.
Edit3: A second person at Samsung support says it's not official and a 3P app.
It CAN be un installed with TI. First detach it from the market and then uninstall. It's actual name is com.sec.fwupgrade so don't be alarmed when it says that. I will be sending it to a couple of security vendors to include in malware lists and questioned Samsung why they have not had the app removed.

Hi,
I just got my new Note 2, and I'm wanting to set it up, and download all my apps etc. Now I was hoping to connect to the internet via my PC internet connection, but when I plug in my USB cable, I don't get any option like that. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something? I know you can do it over wi-fi, but I don't have access to that.
Thanks,
David
So no one has any idea? Or am I the only person to have this problem? I did look, but couldn't find anything.
You can't tether pc connection to phone.

Try ReverseTethering at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
It works for me
Windows Phone can do that with zune running in the background on the pc... can Kies do that for the note 2..?...I don't know. .any one tried it? ...I don't use Kies. ..stupid software
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
So I just recently divorced myself from my iPod and iTunes. My S3 is now my primary music player both at home and in the car. I keep my music in a folder on my laptop, and am looking for a program/app that will allow me to sync my S3 with said folder via USB and WiFi. I must have the option of syncing over USB since I will not always have access to WiFi. I tried Kies and could never get it to connect to my phone (which is rooted and may be the cause of my problem). Plus I keep hearing that Kies is a steaming turd. Cheetah Sync seems like it might do the trick but is WiFi only. I should also note that I want the ability to two-way sync so if I delete a file from the phone it will remove it from the folder on the laptop and vice/versa..
Thanks in advance..

Do you have a windows vista or 7 laptop? If so, you can connect your phone via usb and select MTP as your device. You'll be able to treat your phone as an external storage by simply dragging and dropping files.

Recently purchased a Samsung Smart TV and I want to be able to display pics and videos from my LS970 over the TV using the Smart Hub. I tried using Swipe It but keep getting "Connection Lost" error. Seems to be common from reviews I read on the Swipe It app.
Does anyone know of another app or way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
