Wireless File Managment App

hey i was wondering if anyone here has come across a app that will allow me to browse the files on my phone and drag and drop files from my computer on to my phone with out having to connect a usb to the computer, pretty much to sync wirelessly but to whatever specific folder i want on my phone . was playing around with Browsix which from what iv read should have that feature but i either havent been able to find out how it works or maybe it dosent have it at all.

Try the built in Samsung Kies Wireless app on your phone. It works quite well over the local wifi network.

Kies air. It's in your app drawer. I believe that's what you're looking for. Let's you navigate through everything on your phone wirelessly.

yea i just set it up and essentially thats what im looking for. but for example i have a folder with icons i wanna drop onto my phone. i have a folder for icons but i cant just drag that folder on to my phone through the kies browser and expect it to show up on my phone? when i click upload it only gives me the option to upload individual files not a whole folder. unless im not clicking the right option.

Try airdroid its a very nice app.

spot on man. i like how it gives you a desktop like window to play with. even lets you create folders on your phone and just import the files over. very very nice.

No problem bro, I love that app.

I just installed AirDroid, based on the recommendations, and partly because it uses port 8888 instead of 2121 that I'm using for another app.
One problem I'm seeing is that it doesn't load my Contacts. I get a yellow triangle and the message, "Failed with network error." This is on a Sprint E4GT running Calkulin's 2.7 if that matters.

I have used myphone explorer! It works great. I believe you can copy n sync files and folders from your pc to your phone. you can send sms through your phone from your pc keyboard. I was really impressed with it and it's almost a 5 star free program at the market.

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.

Hello
I am a product Ambassador with Sprint. I am looking in to your issue and I cannot duplicate it on my S3. Can you please give me more detail? e.g. the resolution the video was shot at (720, 1080), size, etc?
Thanks.

Well I'm kinda new to this website but I also work for sprint and I have the galaxy s3 . First make sure you have the right drivers 32bit or 64bit . Make sure its right for your computer . We could get the driver at Samsung .com under support find you phone and hit downloads. At the bottom of the page hit software you should see your drivers. The when you connect make sure you have USB debugging on and use media . That's the way I do it . If still not working place the video o. A SD card and plug in to your computer . If that don't work the video might not be right . corrupted .. I would want that on my computer. . Next question have you try other videos.? .good luck .

I have copied a ton of movies to my GS3. Formats are typically MP4, quality/res is typically always high or HD but I've copied a few lo-D videos without issue.

I tried to duplicate this issue and I could not. Can you post a sample video? In the meantime, please try the following:
1. Install a codec for your PC e.g. DIVX or K-Lites. That may help the choppiness
2. If that doesn't work, do a full factory reset
3. If that doesn't work, please take your device to a sprint store to get it inspected as you may have a defective device.
I hope this helps. Thanks.

What happened to my pictures?!

I've been trying out various 4.2 ROMs over the course of the past few weeks, only to return back to 4.1.2 each and every time. I always manage to get all of my files transfered back from that dreaded "0" files without any issues. That is until yesterday. After deciding that I'm still not sold on 4.2, I flashed back to 4.1.2, transfered all of my files, and then restored a backup from just before flashing. Apparently, now I can't view any of my pictures. They're in the gallery but they're all greyed-out and I cannot view them. What happened and is there any way to get them back to normal? I'm extremely disappointed as they're all quite meaningful to me... Help!

Try any other gallery app such as QuickPic which is available on the Play Store. I hope this solves your issue somehow

If you can access them via any file manager, then I suggest to take them to your PC and ensure that they are viewed correctly on your PC. If so then they are safe and just restore again or flash a new ROM and put them back. Hope this helps

OK. Connected to computer. Every picture pops up as a file as they usually would. However, every time I try to view a picture, I get "Photo Gallery can't display this picture because it is an empty file." Ouch. Sounds like they're lost and gone forever...

Did you try restarting your GNex to see if they will not be grey?
Assuming you have some pictures in the DCIM folder, then try accessing them from storage/sdcard0/DCIM not /sdcard/DCIM then sending them to PC to check one more time.

I rebooted a couple of times and even reflashed the ROM yet still get the same result. When I try to open one of the greyed-out pictures and click on details, I get - Path: /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/IMGxxxxxxx.jpg

The "0" file no longer exists as I deleted it after transferring all of the files back to my SD card. I always use ES File Explorer and the cut and paste method. Must be something happened when I tried to transfer them this last time...

Are you talking about the 0 folder on the /sdcard/ ???
I was talking about /storage/ directory which you can only access if you have root and enable it in ES File Explorer.

Hi, I'm having a similar issue, been trying to fix it by flashing different versions and lock/unlock combinations, but all my files are screwed up, can't seem to fix it. I too get grey/black photos and videos, but what's worse is that I can't access any of the files through regular PC exploration.
I used Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 to backup my stuff, but it gave me this problem :/
If I find a way to fix it, I'll let you know

Honestly, this is the first time I see such pictures with this yellow triangle. I do not exactly know what this means but if these images are lost then they would not have shown at all I guess, so I will try to search for a solution on the Internet and will let you know if I found anything. For the time being, I hope some other more experienced members will be able to help you much bettER. Good Luck!

This is the first time I've encountered this issue as well. I'm at a loss... Its strange, all of the files are there but have that little yellow triangle and contain no data. My only hope is that they're still in there... somewhere.

Check the following two things:
1- If you go to the details/properties of any of the images, is there a logical size for each of them?
2- Does it show the same yellow triangle when checking the pictures via /data/media/0/ , /storage/emulated/0/ , and /sdcard/ ?
I am just trying to collect more information so hopefully other members also can help you bettER

Do you know if there's a way to extract files from an .AB (Android Backup) file for windows? I want to know if my pictures and videos are really in there; after running an SD rescan, all my files disappeared from the SD Card and I can't see them on the PC or phone, I'm starting to believe the backup I made with Nexus Root Toolkit just made some "ghost" image of the files but they are actually gone.
