Please help.. Need a good reliable USB/WiFi file/folder sync solution. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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..

Thanks, but I'm not using iTunes.. Just trying to sync my phone with a folder on my laptop..

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.

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.

On xp pro it shows up as a mobile phone and then allows me to open my phone storage or sd card. I didnt downlod kies or keis...however you spell it
My epic just showed up as removeable storage.

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.

Use isyncr way better

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.

[Q] cannot connect my note 2 to Laptop

hi guys am facing this problem after the new update i cannot connect my note 2 to my laptop through usb cable i changed the cable download the samsung driver turned off the anti virus reboot the laptop and the phone i did factory reset to the phone i even connect it to a different laptop but still the same problem its just charging not making any data or media connection it does through the wifi not through the usb cable
Maybe try over n over again it takes me like 10 tries so my computer can recognize it

I have the same issue. The most reliable way I find is to remove all drivers for the phone from the PC. Connect it, and just let Windows install part of the drivers. It will not install the Samsung drivers, but will connect reliably via USB. I did on thread a while back on it: linky. It's a limited solution because of the lack of Samsung drivers, there is no ADB access.
There is some issue with the Samsung drivers not have the correct hardware reference or something. I think it's tied into Kies, but I've had Kies installed and still had issue. Plus, since Google changed how the storage is organized to allow for difference user profiles, the phone does not work like normal USB thumb drive anymore. I use it to store school projects, and I have to copy and paste them from the phone to the PC and vice versa; not all files require this. Some are can be accessed while stored on the phone on the PC.
I can almost guarantee you're using Windows 8 .... and it has something to do with the driver signature stuff

File Transfer

How to connect and teansfer any files from Mac and G3
via cable or wireless via AirDroid
I use Android file transfer on my mac
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I do it through adb, android file transfer is not working for me on my Lg g3 don't know why.
Can anyone suggest a better way than LG PCSuit for transferring files between Mac and G3 like AndroidFileTransfer

Did you try AirDroid?
Or some similar apps such as Pushbullet
You can always use bluetooth but it's quite slow

AndroidFileTransfer works fine on Mac for me. But if you have installed the Mac version of LG PC Suite, this will prevent AndroidFileTransfer from working when you connect your LG phone.
Hope this helps!
The easiest way is Airdroid. The speed transfer depends on your wifi network:

I know it sense a guide for Sense 5.5+ but this worked for me to get AndroidFile Transfer to work on the LG G3(as well as my M7)

don't you guys find airdroid too slow?
I ended up transferring the files to a flash disk, and connecting the flash disk to my phone to transfer it. (i used a cable, usb in and micro usb out)

That depends for what.
For music, I use Google Music manager to synchronise my music.
For pictures, I take them directly on Google Plus.
So I dont so often use Airdroid, only sometimes for few files.

Transfer photos from S9 to PC via WiFi

Anyone have a fast way to transfer from phone to PC via WiFi?
I'm using ES File Explorer Pro and have set up a shared folder on the PC, it works, but it's slow, like 400kB/s for photos which takes forever

Thanks but I don't want any sync apps / programs, just a way to copy manually across via WiFi the same as I can with ES, but at a decent speed
I've tried those sync programs before and they're as annoying as iTunes
Everything I have found about SMB copying via ES has the same problem as I am having, not sure why as I am on 5GHz WiFi and it should be quick
It's not making sense though, if say I tell it to send 5 x images, it will run at about 400kB/s, if I try the other way around and copy from PC to Phone, it runs at upto 5MB/s
And if I copy the exact same way but to my NAS instead, it copies at 1.4MB/s

Yea I came across that yesterday, I`ll check it out thanks
I've tried about everything and always go back to just using either Dropbox or Google Drive. It's a 2 step process but I've found that I can almost immediately go to my other device and it will be available.
I use Total Commander with the LAN addon now, works perfectly, create a shared folder on PC, done
I'm using Droid over WiFi for this
