Connect to Laptop/PC (Fit 2 Pro) not possible - Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro

Hello all,
I want to copy mp3 files to my Fit Pro 2.
There is an option in my mobile software, however I have my mp3's on my Laptop.
According Samsung, there is an option in the music menu "Gear music manager"
Through this option you connect with WIFI to your laptop.
This option in NOT present in my watch..
So far as know all software (on phone / wearable) are up to date. (installed updated all yesterday)
What am I doing wrong? Is there an other way?
Thanks in advance
Maurice

are you using the galaxy wearables app? It uploads a lot of stuff to your watch that isn't present when its new ( or if you factory reset.)

Video Streaming Question

what is the most effective way to stream video on your PPC
i ve got a tytn II.
my question:
1. How do I use the 'streaming media' program that asks for rtsp:\\?
2. I also want to stream video directly from my PC from my tytn. i had to set my PC as a VPN server for my tytn to view the shared media file but it wouldnt play anything. I could only view the files.

I have the HTC network plugin installed which allows me to view all my shared files and folders from my desktop on my device. I use TCPMP to access my desktop shared files and folders to view my appropriately converted videos and listen to my desktop's music collection. (All this at home over WIFI connection.
When away from home but still using WIFI (any open unlocked WIFI hotspot) I use Winamp remote which I can leave running on my desktop at home. Logon to winamp remote from winamp remote website using my internet browser on my device and access my shared folders (had to direct to these specific folders using Winamp remote from desktop first) and view videos or listen music on my device which are on my desktop computer at home.
thanks for the reply. i tried the HTC network plugin. it looks like a promising little tool but it fails to detect my PC i am afraid.
i am also curious as to why I can ONLY view the shared files on my PC while doing a search through the 'file explorer' over a VPN connection seeing that my Tytn II and my PC are on the same network? this seems unneccesary and I think is the reason why the network plugin wont detect any PC on the network.
not sure what I am doing wrong.
p.s. the TCPMP woulnt install on my tytn II either.
I installed the tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab . it gives me an error msg "unexpected program failure.please send crash.txt to developers"
i am using WM6.1

I'm surprised it won't install. Download it from another site and try again.
strange strange - i tried the network plugin with a XDA Ignito aka HTC touch diamond and it worked like a charm. was able to detect all devices on my network and was able to run all media file using coreplayer. PERFECT
gotto thank hotrod101 for pointing me in the right direction.
so i guess i need to sort out my tytn II out - i cant say i m very happy with the device. i ve had problem with it ever since i ve updated it with WM6.1 and prior to it.
still looking forwarding to hearing from someone about the rtsp:\\ streaming media thingy bobby.

Zune pass on Galaxy S?

OK, so I'm currently working on getting this to work on my captivate. Not sure if it will or not, but I am hopeful. I will edit this post with a walk thru if I get it to work. But for now, I will start with two links I found that leads me to think this may be possible.
http://androidforums.com/tips-tricks-droid-x/130945-sync-zune-pass-songs-droid-x.html
http://forum.androidcentral.com/t-captivate/24207-captivate-works-rhapsody-go-downloads.html
BTW, if this has been done before and I am just trying to reinvent the wheel, please point me in the right direction. I couldn't find much about this when searching
OK, so not much of a walkthru other than to say it does work.
First you have to put your phone into media player mode which is done in settings\application\usb Settings
Note: the phone does not seem to like to connect to the PC unless you are at the touchWiz homescreen. I had to clear default settings on Launcher Pro to get back to touchWiz for it to get into its media player mode.
Once you do that it should install drivers and show up as a syncable item in Windows Media Player.
After that, if you have a zune pass and have downloaded music with it in the zune software, it will show up in windows media players library.
I was most interested in syncing the zune channels that update once a week, so I moved those playlists to the phone, pressed sync and it worked.
Now if only I could get the zune playlists to show up in something like media monkey where syncing is a bit easier than with windows media player (my opinion of course).
Basically all it shows is that our captivate(and I'd assume all galaxy s varieties) will play DRM'd WMA files that fall in the realm of the windows plays for sure category. Good to know if you use subscription music through zune or have other uses for that.
This doesn't work with i9010. It says more sync rights are needed.
Unfortunate as I was hopeful after it worked with my N8.
Any thoughts for getting this to work on Armani S?

Any way of getting this to work with CM7.
I guess you need to be able to mount using MTP as opposed to USB storage.
Is that doable?
Sent from my Armani S i9010 (CM7)
The links in OP point to the support of PlayForSure type of DRM which maybe supported if you use Windows Media Player to sync in MTP media player mode. However, Zune pass uses Zune DRM, not PlayForSure DRM. Zune DRM will only work on Microsoft Zune players and WP7 phones. Not to be confused with purchased songs in Zune. Purchased songs no longer have DRM in them.
Now CM7 is another story. I not sure if it even supports PlayForSure DRM at all.
Well I have the Nokia N8 and that can play Zune pass content when transferred via MTP.
So I guess the question is can we enable stock Android to mount as an MTP device?

Any app available that can mount AOSP builds as MTP?

Control phone from PC

Hi Guys,
There are a number of apps avalable in the market where you can load files etc directly to your phone from the PC wirelessly provided the phone and the pc are in the same network ....
Is there a application where in I can control the phone directy from my PC. Say I connect my phone to the speakers and play music. I would like to change songs directly from my PC which are being played in the phone over the speakers ... ... would not like the playlist option ...
Thanks

Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, does exactly that, so you can control phones from a PC, this provides you an external keyboard and mouse, and you can view your device on the PC's screen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
it works on all Galaxy models, including latest S3. rooting is NOT required.
'Phone my pc'. Very light and works great. Many options. Root not needed. Works over wifi and mobile network.

Better one:
use any UPNP enabled music player
and use any UPNP client for PC to control over UPNP server in phone
It was designed to revers use (control music by phone) but your use should work too.
Sorry but I can't give you app names right now, but if you search for UPNP you will get what you need.

[Q] Streaming content from PC to tab

Hello Chums,
Did a quick search here and everywhere else for that matter and couldn't find anything of help.
Basically we've purchased a trio of pads, I was testing one of them several days ago to see if it could get media from my HTPC, it could get music, pictures and videos. It was a fairly painless process, I already have home sharing on and allow devices connected to the network access to my media.
I tested in the default picture app, music app and video app > Nearby Devices > HTPC (everything showed up)
Today all the devices can see the music and pictures but none can see the videos. My videos are fully shared on the network, the homegroup is set up correctly, I've tried restarting all devices including the HTPC, I've reset the homegroup and permissions.
Feel like I'm banging my head on a brick wall, any idea what could be causing the videos not to show?
Thanks in advance.

Hey trem,
Thanks for the alternative but these tabs are for my 3 daughters aged 4,5 & 6. I don't want them to have access to the file system so I'd prefer to troubleshoot using the default video app as it means they can't get access to anything other than my default media libraries. Do you think you could help?

Exactly what software is running on the HTPC to share the media?

No 3rd party software, W8 with homegroup configured and sharing to devices enabled. Music, pictures and video libraries fully shared to network and the tab default picture and music apps pic up the share but the video app doesn't.
When I open the video app I can see the HTPC but it displays "no videos".
Ok round 2
The hard way
1st register to Samsung Apps on all the tablets
2nd You need to install on your PC Allshare Notification from samsung
3rd Update on the 3 tablets Allshare Play
www.allshareplay.com
Then you sign in to that web page (from your PC)
Whats going to be shared is on settings :
Registered devices
Setup the folder to share with registered devices
You must have your PC and the 3 tablets shown on Registered devices
If you still cant connect from the tablets , right click on the icon of allshare on your PC (next to the time bottom right corner)
Ckick nearby device connection settings and put on all the tablets allow.
You must use allshared to browse.
Good luck

Video format is not supported, In other words, try a 3rd party video app from the play store

There is a difference between network share and DLNA or UPNP shared. Folder shared on the "network" may not show up in DLNA devices which is what Samsung Allshare expects.
Check this article for tutorial on setting up DLNA in Windows . applies to windows 7 and 8. I use this and my video work great on the Sam Tab

looks like you have switched from iphone you just need to "copy" and "paste" the music in the storage and nothing else
the player will automatically detect it from anywhere in the phone.

I haven't switched from iPhone, been a htc user.
When i connect s6 to mac using usb then load up kies i get this pop up
An alternative is you can boot to Windows using Boot Camp. Connect your S6 via USB. Windows will recognize your S6 as a USB drive. Copy and paste all your music files to a folder on your S6. Your S6 will recognize the music files automatically. This worked for me and my macbook pro.

Use Android File Transfer for Mac OSX
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You mean on OS X, the phone does not show up as a normal starge device where you can copy your files?
Man, S6 is a Samsung device not HTC. i thought it was an IP 6s, lol. For android, the process is quite simple, just copy and paste music to the Music folder on your phone. Make sure the format is supported by Android, like MP3, WMV, etc... DRM protected music will not work on the device.
Samsung seems to be transitioning from KIES to Smartswitch. KIES does not support the most recent phones.
