Does anyone know a good app that will sync a folder on your phone and computer over wifi? It would be nice if I made a change to the fold on the computer or on the phone if it would mimic that on the other.

Dropbox all the way
Sorry I should have gave more info, it's for music. Mostly flac files. I don't want to stream that much lol my data plan would be shot. Since I have a lot of music and download some straight from my phone and do a lot of work to rename folders and songs it would be nice to have it update on both but not were I have to stream them.

For anyone looking for this I found an awesome one. Cheetah sync is what I just started using. You can choose to sync from computer to phone, phone to computer or two way. It's free but it looks like you have to pay 2.99 after a trial period.

Titanium Backup (worth the money) has a media sync add-on that sounds like it would do what you want. I haven't tried it (don't need it).
It does require root, but that's already done
If you have a file server set up (or you have "shared folders" set up in Windows) AndSMB works really well.

What about titanium media sync?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I thought about trying titanium media sync but wasn't sure if it's what I was looking for. Haven't heard of andsmb. Cheetah sync seems to be working well. It is nice because I can choose to 2 way sync where if I have deleted a duplicate or added tags or changed a song title it will update on the computer as well

FolderSync
Airdroid
Personally I use AirDroid, and I love it for syncing music/movies and whatnot. You can change up files on there also.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I'm using airdroid too, it's not a syncing service, but it gets the job done. As happy as I am switching back to an android device,I really miss iTunes sync, even the tethered sync beats anything I've found for android.

The App you are looking for is BtSync http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html
It can sync folder between multiple devices, it can sync files through wifi LAN or through internet, there is option to sync through wifi only.
BtSynce is available for Android, windows, linux, mac and even for NAS devices :good:
Its very efficient in syncing large multimedia files, also its free.
Google drive?

I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I've checked as much as I could. But does iTunes work on Windows 8? That's the second most used program by me other than chrome, so its kinda important. Thanks in advance

Thanks, since I don't have a flash drive or external hard drive and about 20gigs of music, is there an easy way to transfer my entire library?

Are you currently running Windows 7? You can just install Windows 8 on another partition and browse the partition with music in Windows Explorer. If you're upgrading (not recommended), then you can just upgrade and keep everything intact.
itunes works great but he can't find my brother's iphone --'
i said him "android is better" but he didn't listen to me...
so?? you've got the same problem?
Lol I'm glad I downloaded the google music beta
It uploaded my entire itunes library before I tried out windows 8 and it works beautifully streaming from the cloud.
That was one of the things stopping me from trying it out was that I would've had no music but now all is well

Hey, I would like to know what some good backup options are. The main thing I want is for the backup to have everything, files/data/apps/etc. The reason I'm asking is because I can't find one that looks like it will backup things like downloads/documents.
Thanks,

I use a sync app like syncme to backup everything on to a PC or in my case, a network drive. I set it up to run every few days at night while I sleep. It syncs via WiFi so don't have to do anything.

How do I send files through WiFi direct? On all my other devices I can go to any file manager and choose to send via WiFi direct... This seems to be not available. Why? I feel like this a crucial method of sending large files way faster than Bluetooth.. If anyone can help me out it would be great!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
WiFi direct is a function of the OS. You have to have a program that is capable of using it. I have transferred files via WiFi direct using OfficeSuite Pro successfully.
You can download WiFi direct. It's kind of hit and miss
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
yeah thank you!
wifi direct seems like such a use full feature, why it isnt more widely implemented i do not know,
but yeah ive tried wifishoot and yeah any wifidirect apps seem to be hit n miss, plus with standard os, it doesnt help you much and doesnt seem able to send many files by standard? (gallery, image, share, no wifi direct option most of the time)?
Don't understand why that is I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I just got this nexus which I sold my Galaxy Tab for and I find it ridiculous that I can't send files through wifi direct because bluetooth is so slow and I don't have an external memory for this Nexus so it makes it so much harder now to transfer files without wifi direct. I see this as a big let down and I expect the Nexus to have this ability throughout the whole operating system. Why is wifi direct even an option in the Nexus if we can use it for anything I even connected with another phone through wifi direct and had that other phone try to send me a file on the Nexus blocks it because it says it doesn't allow media sharing. I'm a bit let down

I meant on the play store to download WiFi direct

I use an app called peerdeviceconnect. It's on the play store and links two or more devices that have the app installed. Then when you select an app to share the option of using it is shown. It has the create Wifi direct network option built into it.

Samsung Kies if your on windows/os x
I don't have access to a laptop or computer are there any other options
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
does kies include saving app data like saving game progress, for example you reach level 10 of a certain game with 100 credits, etc . kies is cumbersome for transferring text messages.. not sure if it will work with whatsapp messages too.
i am asking this because soon i will upgrade too to the note 3 and I dont root also. how about the titanium/helium i keep hearing about? thanks, thanks
I tried helium but it kept asking to connect to computer I thought I could just save to sd card

Good Luck with the backup. I found whilst moving from IOS to Android that the backup for non rooted devices leaves a lot to be desired. This is one area Sammy needs to get sorted out properly. I mean can they not emulate / copy itunes or somethng? lol
itunes saves app data? sorry im clueless about apple-related stuff lol.
some of the games i play can be stored in google cloud but i am not sure if it will work properly on a new phone.
craigel, from what i understand, for sd cards you can store pics, files, etc, as well as apps, just not the complete app data if i am not mistaken
Don't rely on kies. It's garbage.
Try Mybackup
A couple days ago I shattered the screen on my s4, as well as the touchscreen, so it's useless. There are some pictures on there I need to recover but I can't get to them because they were hidden (no, not what you think lol). I cant download any apps to my phone nor enable the screen mirroring setting so I was wondering if there any way to find them in the filing system via my laptop or a program I can download to emulate my phone on my laptop. Thanks in advance.
(Tried searching for a .hide folder, n0 results.)
Bump.

why not use an USB? to get your pictures out of your phone?
Perhaps my post wasn't clear. On the Galaxy s4 you have the option to "hide" pictures, which puts them, for all intents and purposes, in a second, hidden gallery. This moves them to a .hide folder somewhere in the file system. I've tried to find them via USB but I cannot find the .hide folder.

Sounds like your best option is the order a new screen & LCD online and replace them.
I hope not. I really don't want to pay a hundred plus dollars seeing as I've already replaced the phone. There's got to be a way to do it.

Quick Google search got me here http://inside-galaxy.blogspot.com/2014/05/samsung-galaxy-s4-how-to-fix-cant-find_30.html?m=1
Says there should be a '.hide' folder in the internal storage, then for some reason an 'island' folder where the images are (with a warning that 'island' may be different for you).
