As the title states, just curious if there is a way to make wi-fi direct work between phone and PC or vice-versa. I know there are wi-fi file explorers, but for s single file or picture is there anything for that?
Im pretty sure your phone comes with an app pre-installed for this, but i use airdroid

WiFi direct is only for Samsung devices to other select Samsung devices. It doesn't work with my older Samsung TV, but does work with my friend's brand new Samsung TV. AFAIK, it does not work to connect to a PC.
The other on-device options suck out loud (Kies Air, AllShare Play, etc.). They all require additional software to be loaded on the PC and some are dependent on Samsung's server piece to be operational, which goes down like a $5 ***** faced with a stack of hundreds.
If you want to just 'see' the picture or movie on a PC / Laptop / TV, Settings > More Settings > Nearby Devices is tolerable. It's basically DLNA for the phone. ONLY ALLOW the devices on your LAN that you want to share media to. If you choose Allow All and forget to turn it off, it will share it publicly if you connect to WiFi at McDonald's, Starbucks, Library, etc. PCs show up as Windows-Media-Player, and other devices will be SamsungWiselinkPro or SamsungSmarTV, etc.
I'd recommend to use either Airdroid or WiFi File Explorer and save yourself a LOT of headaches to transfer the files to a PC.

Yeah I have had Wifi File Explorer Pro for a good two years and love it, I was just wondering if there was a better option. Based on the responses above I think I will just stick with what I've got!
If you want to transfer files, Kies Air is actually one of the best choices. It's definitely underrated, probably because of the complicated install process, but once you get the hang of it, it's a very streamlined process.
Most file manager apps support Windows shares, so you can transfer stuff that way too. I use AirDroid though mostly. Heck, you can get an FTP app on your Droid and FTP into it from Windows if you like, make sure you change your IP address in Wifi advanced settings to the one you want to use all the time, and map a network drive in Windows to your phone.
why not an FTP server?
search for the "ftp server" from developer "the olive tree" first of all it's super secure since you can add username and password to it (from the settings) so it's safe even at public wifi hotspots and second It's got 4+ stars! COMMON! lol and the 3rd and the best part (I know you were waiting for this ) It's free
you can copy to/from your phone to/from your computer! just open the app and click on the red power button when it turns green you're good to go it gives you an address you need to type that in your explorer (my documents or my computer would be perfect) and your phone's content is there just be careful not to delete anything you don't know
use at your own risk LMAO and I'm not paid to promote it
Air droid is good, but theres a monthly limit. For small amounts of data (I think it's 100MB per month) it's perfect.

Hey, long time XDA fan... short time account cred loser :crying:
Anyway just got the Note, and I'm liking it,but I got it for office use.
What is the best way/app to allow me to autosynch files when I export a note and connect my note via the cable?
The notes will contain highly sensitive data, so that removes the option for Cloud solutions unless you know that auto encrypts before synching.
Thanks, in advance!
Bumping for hope of an answer. This is becoming more important to my long term ownership as my workplace is looking to deploy new MDM and policy control around byod devices.

Why don't you try something like Microsoft onenote but im not sure you can sync that without the cloud. If you don't really want to edit the notes you sync u can always save them as pdf's and copy them by usb cable

The best way to sync your tablet with something like Dropbox is an app called DropSync. I recommend getting the paid version as it is far more powerful.
Unfortunately, Samsung chose a format for their Notes app that is unreadable by anything outside of another device running the same Notes app. Why they chose this obscure standard I don't know.

I'm also very satisfied with Dropsync, but also very happy with SugarSync witch has better Win app and better folder setting. You can use my referral to get 500MB more.

What about Kies? I haven't tried it yet, in fact I'm just now downloading it hoping to accomplish the same thing... even so, my use doesn't require such high standards for security. I'm hoping this can make a direct connection with my PC a lot more efficient in order to track order forms and job notifications without needing to print paper.
Hope this suggestion gives you something to work with.
:::Not sure, but thus far it seems like Kies just stores a back-up/recovery file to your computer. Not sure this is helpful but I'm still trying it out:::
Thanks for all the help. This will give me a few things to try.

The best way to sync in the office using the USB cable is with an app and computer software called "Local Sync". Sorry can't post links, but just search the goole play store.
It allows one to sync files from your Note 10.1 to your office computer w/o having to put files in the cloud. I have found it to be completely secure and reliable since its syncs over the USB cable not wireless.
You will need to also download and install the Windows program to run it. You will also need to intall the samsung drivers which means installing Samsung Kies onto your office computer.
With this app and computer software all my critical files between work and tablet are perfectly in sync.
Good luck

OTG sync or file transfers seems to be a hassel. Can't you just use a card reader(SD, micro SD, M2, etc) to connect to your pc and and transfer files via the microSD Card. . No cables needed. Installing Kies means installing versions of Net Framework if you don't have it already installed. Real PIA to install AND uninstall. Isn't it a good idea to use the card reader for large files (under 4 GB)makes sense to me. Plus, you can take the card reader with you on when your away to transfer photos/files from your camera, cellphone, etc to the Note 10.1. Takes less battery power than OTA, correct?
Hello guys,
I'm new to the forum, but everyone recommended you as the best on the web!
I'm having some issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7''...
I have an hardware problem with the lower connection (for charging and connecting to PC via USB). Basically I can still charge the tablet, but in an extremely low rate, and have no usb connection...
Samsung was asking me a load of money for fixing this... So I choose to buy a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4''!
Now! Data transfer... I managed to transfer or save some of my app data, but in a few apps I can't manage to get it...
My options:
-Root the Tab2 and use something like Titanium app... I can't connect the tablet to the PC, so not an option!
-Use an app like Helium in the unrooted Tab2... Nope! Helium requests to connect the Tablet to the PC at least once...
I'm desperate!
Is there any option that you can think of for my problem? Any wireless option or so?
Thank you for your time!
Pedro
PS- If this not the correct place for this thread, please relocate it.
Nothing?
No ideas yet?
Is there no solution for my problem?
:crying:
use titanium and then transfer the data using SambaDroid.
Or if you are not rooted use something like WiFi File Transfer to create a file server on your tablet.
Alternatively use a file manager like X-plore File Manager to copy the files to a samba share on your PC.
there are quite a few options
I found a way to handle this (only have tried this with the Metro PCS version SM-G360T1 but this should work with all versions and hopefully other new samsung phones with out direct OTG support as well.), it's been used via other Samsung phones but I have yet to find a post yet that speaks about this on the galaxy core prime (or anything other than the bigger phones like galaxy s6 and the like)
What you would need is to install Samsung's SideSync app on your computer (this is assuming you have a PC with windows.)
have a micro usb cable available (as I would expect most to have.)
along with the apk file to get you to the settings via the otg method.
(I can't post the link since i'm a new user which is great just add https:// to the following "mega.nz/#!ixQxUQII!6lMPLUFlMU3NPxq0tOUpvQ_hOokETC9kFLdPAqS0hk8" with no spaces in between. not sure if this is an internal issue but there should not be a space between S and 0.)
1st start up SideSync to make sure its running.
.
when on the screen where it asks for your google account information on your phone (or as soon as you've gotten a data/wifi connection)
plug in your micro usb cable, in a few seconds you should see a "Open With" option appear on your phone with 3 options (Galaxy Apps, Chrome & Browser).
Now at this point you should also have access to the phones storage via your computer, in which at this point I would say to copy the apk file to wherever you feel comfortable.
From this point you can select "Galaxy Apps" which is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.
from here, you can install an app in order to get to the storage files (es file explorer is one i quickly found.)
You will have to have a Samsung user account but you can create one on the spot if needed (will ask you to login or create an account) so as long as you have a working email this will be easy.
once you've logged in you can search and download and open the storage app, go to the area you placed the APK file, load it up, allow unknown sources, install, open to be redirected to Settings, do a factory data reset and BOOM!
you should be golden.
Hopefully this info stops the assholes who figured this out prior from trying to charge folks to do this, I literally just figured this out myself and stopped from losing a bit of money on this phone.

[Guide Ver. 2] Bypassing FRP Protection from Samsung Galaxy Core
Thank You EmperorofShambala! Worked on my Galaxy Core Prime although I took additional detours which others may find helpful as well.
Before this process I was lucky to have had this MetroPCS phone eligible for unlock so I unlocked it thru the Device Unlock App, hard reset it, but then ran into that google verification. I followed EmperorofShambala's directions but ran into a roadblock with SideSync. (I'm on a Mac) When I got to the part where I could download it on the phone, Galaxy Apps said SideSync did not exist in the store.
Here are the steps I followed (in Emperor's fashion but with additions that got it to work for me):
What you would need is to install Samsung's SideSync app on your computer, *also the free version of Airdroid.
have a micro usb cable available (as I would expect most to have.)
along with the apk file to get you to the settings via the otg method.
(I can't post the link since i'm a new user which is great just add https:// to the following "mega.nz/#!ixQxUQII!6lMPLUFlMU3NPxq0tOUpvQ_hOokETC9kFLdPAqS 0hk8" with no spaces in between. not sure if this is an internal issue but there should not be a space between S and 0.)
1st start up SideSync to make sure its running, *also run and register/create account on Airdroid. Go to file transfer section and have the downloaded apk handy wherever on your computer.
when on the screen where it asks for your google account information on your phone (or as soon as you've gotten a data/wifi connection)
plug in your micro usb cable, in a few seconds you should see a "Open With" option appear on your phone with 3 options (Galaxy Apps, Chrome & Browser). (* I used Airdroid for the actual file transfer, but only SideSync was able to bring up the "Open With" option on the phone while it ran on my computer)
From this point you can select "Galaxy Apps" which is basically a Samsung alternative to the Play Store.
from here, you can install an app in order to get to the storage files, *I used Airdroid
You will have to have a Samsung user account but you can create one on the spot if needed (will ask you to login or create an account) so as long as you have a working email this will be easy.
*Once you have Airdroid installed on the phone, from Galaxy Apps you can open it. Login with Airdroid account, go to file transfer. On your computer, drag and drop the apk into the file transfer and it should appear on your phone. Tap it, then it goes into install...
... allow unknown sources, install, open to be redirected to Settings, do a factory data reset and BOOM!
you should be golden.
Now I'm using my T-Mobile service on it, although some MetroPCS apps and stuff are left over.
Works superb. awesome
It worked!!
Thank you for this tutorial! My girl got the FRP Lock when attempting to root her sm-g360t1 and now it's fully functional again. Excellent work!
Dude omg! Your so awesome for creating this!
YOU SHOULD MAKE video for noobs like me! Haha
Btw: Do we really have to use the explore instead of the web and use "rootjunky" website to download the apk and install it, dont you think this would be better and faster result?

Hello I tried to download this to unlock my phone but it keeps asking for a decription key. I don't know the key, can u please tell me it so I can download it? Thanks please get back to me asap
Can you post a screen shot and mention exactly what you did? I'm not sure i know what you mean.
Nice Job.
Thank Samsung and Google for teaming up to make an inconvience like this. Have to take the Sandisk OTG back, but was gonna anyway since they will no longer support encryption.

Samsung is fine. All you have to do is go to the "sammobile" website, download the firmware for your device and flash it in the "AP" slot in Odin. This does a true factory reset on the device and resets the FRP. I've helped many people overcome this problem this way and not only is it the easiest method, but, in my opinion, it's the only real way to do it. If sammobile doesn't have your firmware for some reason though then I would try this or whatever you can find that works.

I've always been kinda lost with this. So do I download a firmware that has otg support? Is there a certain name I should be looking for?

You don't need OTG. You're just connecting your phone to your computer in "Download Mode". You just search your model number in the firmware section and you'll find the rest of the instructions(as well as the link to download Odin) at the bottom of the download page for your firmware.

Hi all,
I'd like to connect my Galaxy Note 4 to my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 so that I can transfer files between the two directly, but without having to rely on a USB Stick/Memory Card/Hard Drive/Bluetooth/Cloud as I do now. Does anyone know how to this?
Thanks very much
Pushbullet, nice and easy, install on both devices, adds text messaging from your tablet too! And you can get all notifications on your computer plus file transfer to/from. It's a MUST app.
Sent from my SM-P900 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Does it allow external SD card file transfers? No rooting.
I use WiFi Direct - speedy & easy ( on my SM-910T & SM-P900). I have only been able to use this if both are running Stock rom (Rooted debloated deodexed doesn't matter, but I think the WiFi direct is samsung).
Sidesynch and smartswitch should already be installed on both devices and will do what you want. Wifi direct will also work. The other way if you've remove'd all those apps and don't want to install anything would be to just connect both devices to a computer through the usb cables and transfer files between the two.
If those programs don't allow transfer to external SD card then they are useless to me.
Thanks to everyone's ideas, but the easiest solution for me was the one that "Brokens" offered & so I'm using Wi-Fi Direct to transfer my files without having to use any Cloud/Hardware to do it.
Thanks "Brokens" & to all of you for the ideas ☺?✌
