What method does everyone use to transfer files to and from their PC?
dropbox
Airdroid
I have a question that fits here;
Is there any way to make the s3'S onboard and external SD Read and appear in windows as a flash drive (ftp i think?) Instead of a "media device"?
USB transfer. My computer shows both main and external card.
But now that I have dropbox, it has been my primary means for transfer.
Lol I used to carry a thumb drive everywhere.

It's an easy 5 GB. Just upload pictures and videos from your camera/phone. You must automatically upload the pictures/videos. Manually uploading does not work.

Thanks for the heads up. However, I got 50GB in Box.net accounts, so don't need this.

Have you placed all the pictures inside the DCIM folder? Also are you sure you are on the beta application? Also when you plug in the phone, do you click automatic upload with the dropbox logo next to it?

maybe you have autoplay disabled on your pc? the dropbox auto upload option will be in the autoplay list

iSyncr? Though haven't tried that before.
Who has a working method? I mean they can't make this so hard putting music on a phone from a macbook....
There's been other posts about this I'm pretty sure, did you search to find similar threads? Search the other lte variants forums as well.

I do it manually. Pop my micro sd card into the usb slot on my macbook and use finder to copy files over. I'm using neutron music player so it handles my mp3 and m4a/alac lossless files with no problem.
There's a couple apps that try to automate this but my collection doesn't change a lot so I found this approach easier.

Oh, and if you want to use the built-in storage on the device, the android file transfer app for mac works and is fast - even faster than copying to my sd card.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
The issue I have is when I am copying files over, it says screen is locked but its not and then transfer stops through android file transfer..i could put the micro sd in a sd card in the card reader...
I searched but couldn't find anything...could anyone post those links?

Make sure your device is connected as a camera, not an mtp device.

I have tried that but it still gives me the same message. If I use the UMS app I can get access to external without android file transfer but not internal. I really would like access as my backup from my old phone are all on my mac

I use TuneSync. It will allow wired or wireless syncing of music from iTunes to your android device. Fairly simple to set up.
Here is the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5oaWdod2luZHNvZnR3YXJlLnR1bmVzeW5jIl0.
Easy phone tunes is the best one I used so far. I haven't upgraded to mountain lion so not sure if it compatible. However the only annoying thing is that you can only sync everything or 1 playlist. But it's super fast so I guess that makes up for the lack of functions.

Just downloaded this. Well worth the few bucks, IMO.
Thanks for the link.
So I recently rooted my SGS3, then I tried connecting to Samsung Keis and can't seem to connect. The Kies action bar tries to connect but doesn't seem to be able to finish the process. Anyone else have this issue or a fix?? Thanks

Problem not worth fixing. Uninstall Kies.
My kies from laptop never worked. So I remove it from pho ne too.

Tell me what you need Kies for and I will suggest something.
Drag and drop what? Files? Use Windows Exploiter for that.

Playlist
I am having this same problem. I don't like using kies I usually use Monkey Media but could not get playlist to import with it. I am a huge playlist guy buy like to change them regularly on my PC. I find it a pain to make playlist directly on Note 2. Any suggestions?
Mac does not allow you to copy the contents of a micro SD to the hard drive?

I was able to prior to rooting my phone. I'm only using my Mac as a bridge so that I can move large files onto my 1terabyte Seagate external hard drive which is connected to my Mac...

Some stuff such as nandroid backups don't show up in that list. Any chance that's taking up a lot of your space?
Try formatting your SD card in Windows if you have a USB adapter or micro to full size adapter and a port on your computer for a full SD. 32GB should be FAT32.

I have a USB adapter that connects to my phone. What do I do after connecting my phone to the computer? Cause every time I connect it. It doesn't bring up my external SD card.. And how do I set it to fat32?
Edit: also how can I delete the backups I have made? Been a while since I've messed with a rooted phone.

When I said USB adapter, I was talking about a microSD to USB adapter. In case the phone is the bad link in the chain, it'd be a good idea to remove the card from the phone and attempt to manipulate it externally. If that is not an option for you, I'll let someone else with ideas chime in on that topic.
For Nandroids: Try something like Nandroid Manager * ROOT

If you have a root explorer or adb you could try pushing it to system/app because your data partition appears full.
You could also try to Odin back to stock.

Every time I connect the LG-E980 to my Windows 7 PC, it starts to install, then lets me open up the internal storage but when I click on the DCIM folder, it starts all over again. I need to download some of my pix and can't get to them. I recently upgraded to a 64GB internal card. I have it on Media Sync (MTP) but it won't let me get into the memory.
I uploaded a couple of them to dropbox and then downloaded them to the PC. Must be an easier way though.
Suggestions?

If nothing else you can email them to yourself. I used to have to do that back before I had a smartphone.
Have you tried downloading and installing the LG drivers for your OGP?
If your computer has bluetooth that would be faster.
Drivers were installed, no Bluetooth.
