I think isyncr is broken on the s5. The wifi syncs only the playlist names but never transfers any songs, the USB transfer doesn't even recognize the desktop app is installed. Anybody else having this issue? I already contacted the dev, waiting for a reply

I thought I'd already responded to your support request, but there are no known issues with the S5 right now. Are you using a PC or Mac? For USB transfers, you have to use iSyncr Desktop which is in the menu bar (Mac) or system tray (PC). You cannot have a WiFi sync if iSyncr Desktop isn't installed, so it should be there.
Works for me
I had no problem getting isyncr to work on the 900V and save songs on the SD Card.
However, I used a 64G SDCard from my previous device which already had a isyncr folder. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I have noticed that some other apps cannot write to the SD Card. I think once someone gives us root capability for this device these kind of issues will go away.
That said, while I already had the isync folder loaded with songs on the SD Card I used, I did add some new songs to my remote computer and isyncr was able to create the new song files on the SD Card.

Well, there is now. And FYI, i already responded to your second email with this:
Are you syncing over USB or WiFi? Wifi, as i mentionned in my subsequent email, usb doesn't work as it doesn't recognized the desktop app
Do the songs show up if you install and use my app, Rocket Player? The songs are never synced, my sd card is empty
Are you syncing with a PC or a Mac? Pc
Why did you send a screenshot of the Galaxy S5 music player? If it turned green, that is Samsung's software, not mine. this picture is just to show you that it syncs my playlist names but doesnt sync any songs. the green is the circle next to the playlist name when isyncr finished syncing a playlist. As i mentionned, when i press sync, it syncs the playlist and never syncs any songs. It gathers info aboht the playlist and instead of syncing the songs, it just turns green. I would love to attach another photo but now my phone doesn't recognize isyncr at all. Even if i try to connect manually it doesnt see the desktop app.

I've been an isyncr user since day 1, i've seen the program evolve from the days where i almost switched to Airsync. I kept this because it worked better overall with less dependencies. It worked flawless on my Note 3 and it doesnt work on my S5. I've already tried everything before reaching out to you, like reinstalling, clearing cache, data, heck, i even tried a previous version. FYI, I did start from a freshly formated SD card, and I didnt just transfer my SD from my N3 to my S5 and keeping the isyncr folder intact. Also, i would not make the stupid mistake of trying all this without having the desktop plugin installed
@crimpo There already has been root for long before the device was released, as usual, chainfire is ahead of the game by updating his CF-Autoroot
Quick update: Pat sent in a log file, and this looks like some issue syncing to the SD card using WiFi that I will have to figure out. I'm not seeing this on any of my other KitKat devices, and haven't heard about this issue from any other S5 customers, but I will try and post my finding here.
I too am having an issue with isyncr USB and WiFi to MacBook pro. Been using isyncr for years with galaxy nexus.
I have the Verizon version of the s5. I am blown how much cap they put on the phone. Every time I plug in USB it says installer mode and it looks like a Verizon cd is plugged into mac.
Tried installing Samsung kies but no Playlist sync.
Even android file transfer is working weirdly.
Can anyone tell me how to wipe all traces of kies and the Verizon application?
I'm having problems getting it to work. I've tried everything.

I'd love to help with these problems with your Galaxy S5 displaying in iSyncr Desktop if you'd email me at [email protected]. I'm not sure that I have a bullet proof method that I'm able to post to the forum. You do not need to root so far as I am aware.

The only way i was able to transfer to sd without root was to create the same structure of storage isyncr creates on a device that allows apps to write to sd. It didn't work all the time but after pressing sync 3-4 times, it eventually started syncing

Hi,
I love my HD2 but I have one problem which is realy starting to annoy me. If I connect my HD2 to my laptop (or any other computer or mac), and then I unplug it again, HTC Album Manager should reindex the songs on my SD card and I should be able to play them.
However, 75 percent of the time, for some reason it keeps searching and searching and it never finds anything. It doesnt actualy say its found anything, just the litle circle in the top indicating that its still searching. Library at this time is empty. The only way to fix this is a soft reset. Windows Media Player has no problem finding and playing these files while htc album is struggling.
I've tried killing the audiomanager or albumsearcher processes by microsoft task manager, but for some reason the version on the hd doesnt allow you to kill processes, only tasks.
I've had this problem on my 1.48 NLD Official rom and now on my Dutty's v.5 Holy Grail rom.
Has anybody else experienced these problems and if so, have you been able to fix it?
Thanks in advance...

I've not had these problems with it, but have had issues that the tracks on an album don't get listed in track order, and I can't find a way to re-arrange the order, any ideas?
I've had a similar issue to you, but with windows player though. It won't find any of my music to add to the library, but will find all other sounds such as alarms, sat nav voices etc. How do I get it to find my music and not the other sounds?

Emm, google for mp3 tag, with this you can change id3 tags from your files and readjust the track order. The problem is probably not htc music player, but the files themselve.

No, not yet. I was hoping I didn't have to go through my entire music collection retagging everything but looks like I may have to. I wonder if it's anything to do with the way windows 7 tags things?
i have the same problem after connecting the hd2 via "drive" mode. but when i use activesync everything is fine except the transferspeed really sucks. so no problem with musicplayer after activesync except the transfer speed
Same problems here! My mp3´s are tagged absolute correct using mp3tag. No problems on any other device/software. Only on my HD2.
In addition to that, sometimes I have duplicate tracks listed in the music player.
There seems to be a bug in the 1.48 release...
Hope this will be fixed soon.

When connected in drive mode the SD card is not accessible from the phone and this causes all sorts of problems, this is not the case when connected to active sync. Is this a winmo issue or HTC specific problem? (this my first winmo phone)

The fact the SD card is unavailable for the phone when you mount it as external storage to your pc is completely normal for any phone, and no problem whatsoever. But it shouldnt have problems remounting the card and reading its contents after unplugging again..
I never had these problems with my Diamond, allthough I must admit it had internal NAND as storage instead of SD card which probably makes a difference. Still isnt an excuse for it malfunctioning though.
When you unplug from your PC, do you do the right thing and unmount the drive first? If not, then there's a chance the filesystem can be corrupted as a process on the PC may have been using the drive when you unplugged it. This in turn could cause issues when the phone tries to access the card.
This goes of any removable storage or cards you plug into a PC. You MUST unmount before you remove.

Sounds like he wants you to re-encode all your mp3s to a fixed sample rate (say 128Kbps or 192Kbps) instead of using a variable sample rate.
However, all my mp3s are fixed rate 128Kbps and I have exactly the same problem as you, so you can go back to him and tell him his "advice" hasn't cured the problem. In fact, I don't see any way in which his "advice" could possibly cure it.
Same Here
I have this problem and its a real pain in the a*se what I do is just use media player for like a day and eventually it sorts itself out (sometimes 2 days....) Not really a fix but what im having to live with ...
I was told before that I HAD to sync via media player rather than just copying the music to the SD card because this would cause the issue and it worked at first but then synced about a GB of music and problem happened again...
I've replied to him that I'm not about to re encode all my mp3's.... its bull****, it should be able to handle the music files fine. My diamond had no problem with it.
Crafty, do a softreset and it should be fixed.
So, I've searched everywhere and I can't find a fix for this problem.
All of the drivers loaded for my XOOM except for the MTP driver. My XOOM actually shows up in My Computer as a mobile device, where I can browse the files, so I guess it worked.
So, what is the MTP driver for?

Its the new way moto set the xoom to talk to the PC's. Just install wmp 11 and you will have the mtp driver. That way wmp can talk to ur xoom and sync updated playlists and what not. But I don't see it as a needed driver if u can already get on the xoom.
I actually tried the WMP 11 trick earlier today and it didn't work.
Of course, my computer saw the XOOM as a mobile device after installing WMP 11, so I don't know. Might have worked.
You should now be able to manage and sync music to your Xoom through WMP11. I can do it through WMP12 perfectly (but I am also using Windows 7).

Actually Google set it this way in Honeycomb and will be in all future iterations of Android because this allows for apps and data to share the same space, and you dont need to unmount the sd card or memory from android and to the pc when connecting. Overall its a much nicer implementation of USB connectivity because it also now allows media sync with WMP or any other MTP based application
So you can use all 32GB of the internal memory for apps
I liked the old way better. I could hook my droid to any pc and it worked now i have to find MTP stuff for my ubuntu and update a unused software on my home windows pcs. I don't like being tied down.
(edit) And another reason i like the old way better is all the files could be seen. With MTP it seems the folders under Android are hidden. For example the back up data for Dungeon Defenders in under /SD card/Android/data.
So, I have quite a bit of experience with Android, but this is my first 3.1 tablet and for the life of me I cannot figure these three things out...
*** EDIT: All of the sudden it is loading as a drive w/out me doing anythng, whereas yesterday it was looking for Asus software. The other two issues remain though... lol *** First, I want to plug it into my laptop as USB storage so I can copy over music and pics (wallpapers) to the MicroSD, as well as removed and save downloaded content. When I plug it in, I get no option to mount as USB like I do on Android 1.x and 2.x. It also doesn't show as a drive on the laptop. Since I get no option on the device I am thinking it isn't driver related, but maybe an option somewhere. I hope it isn't drive since I don't want to install one on this work laptop. lol Help?
Second, while the MicroSD is in the device there is an icon for it next to the time. Without unmounting the card, how do I make that icon go away?
And last, I have around 20gb of music uploaded to my Google Music account, but when I open the Google Music app it says there is no music on the device. There also is no option I can find to link to my google music account (which I thought should be automatically). My understanding, and how it works on Android 2.x, is that when I open my app it displays the music I have in that account online, but not on this one. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone...
Also, in case it's needed, this is the TF 16gb on Andriod 3.1...
I don't think there's any way to get rid of the icon. But with your music app make sure your gmail user address is right in the settings. I have too many addresses and sometimes use the wrong one.
As far as the MicroSD icon goes I believe that is an Asus addition to Honeycomb and can't be removed. I think it would be up to a ROM developer to strip it from the build.
As for the Google Music Beta, I have had similar issues. All I can recommend is going to the Market and making sure you have the latest version. If you do then the only other thing that has worked for me is trying a new ROM. I had no luck getting my Music to sync while running Prime 1.5 but with MagnuSupreme and Clemsyns ROM it has worked beautifully.
You can get rid of the icon if you are rooted. Just unmount the card normally, then mount in a terminal as root with 'mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD && mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD'. You'll need to unmount it manually and delete the folder when your done though.
Thanks everyone!
This is a list of all the options I tried (in chronological order) to solve my file transfer issues with the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The last option is the most stable one and until either Samsung or Android give us something usable I'll keep using it. Its a WiFi solution, so its slow in comparison to a USB solution.
Kies Software: Simply does not work for me since it requieres the USB drivers to be installed and for some reason they will not install correctly in my laptop.
Kies via Wi-Fi (Settings/Wireless and networks/Kies via Wi-Fi, it requires the Kies software): It says that the SIM card was not detected... There's obviously something really wrong with that Kies app because I have a WiFi only tablet...
Kies App: Basically creates a server in your tab that you can access through your browser. It works but if you need to transfer several GB's of music files organized in folders... you're going to have issues with it... Plus its really unstable.
SwiFTP FTP Server: Basically creates an FTP server in your tablet that give you access to the whole disk. It works with any FTP client in your computer. I use FileZilla. Its realy stable and you can simply drag and drop all your files to your FTP client. Also, it doesnt interfere with the use of the table. So you can use it while the files transfer. There's more options for FTP servers in the market but this one works, so why bother...
I hope this thread help you guys!

If you have rooted your Tab, there is a free app that is so simple a US Congressman could us it. Check out Samba Filesharing. It makes your Tab's SD drive show up as a wireless device on Windows computers. It is fast and easy as drag and drop.

I haven't used my USB cable for transfers since I got this program in August. Dev is awesome, will help those that need it, and he updates the program with new features about once a week. Best 99c on the Market.

had similar problems and removed KIES and installed Airdroid on my tablet and works great!
kies air is not an option when you have to transfer more than a couple of files.
I only found the option to transfer one at a t ime through the web interface.
so it is extremely time consuming to do 1 at a time...
The best option i found so far, was the como with the adaptor for usb sticks and flash cards.
I got it on ebay for about 25$ and i been using it all the time since then.
It is VERY fast (depending on your usb stick as well) but with a trancent stick, i get about 10~15 secs for 1GB of mp3s.
So far it is the best way i found to transfer files.
P.S. I believe it is a lot faster than using the cable usb connection with the included charge/data cable.

Hey everyone,
I was looking to get an LG G2 but my only concern is that my primary computer is a Mac, and I see no compatible way for me to transfer media files (primarily music) from my computer to my phone. Other companies such as Samsung have Kies that works with Macs as well, or Sony that has Bridge for Mac compatibility, but LG doesn't have this alternative I believe.
Does anyone know of any alternatives I can use? As I really do want this phone.

After checking out Google Music Manager I've noticed that I cannot use it in Canada, or as Google says "The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories." Do you happen to know when I would be able to use this alternative? Thanks again
I have used ISyncr for quite a while and a number of different Androids. It easily interfaces with itunes on my MacBook Pro. For file transfer I use Android Transfer you can easily drag and drop. Some limitations but overall works straight forward easy drag and drop.
I used DoubleTwist + AirTwist. I had it purchased a long time ago. Android File Transfer worked too but it would freeze randomly (on OSX 10.8.3).
Transfer photos and music from MAC to LGG2
This is really easy to do WITHOUT a third party application or a USB connection.
Just go to to your SETTINGS in the LG G2, then NETWORKS then tap on Share and Connect. Make sure Wireless Store is ON, then tap on it. You'll get a page with URLs on the bottom for Windows and Mac. Also a Username and Password.
On your MAC, click on the blue face FINDER and click on COMMAND K.
You'll get a little box, then type in the URL for MAC from your phone, click on ADD then click on URL in the second box . If it asks for the Username and Password, type those in too. Click on + then CONNECT.
Your phone will then pair with your MAC and you'll get a folder on your desktop for the phone. Open that up and click to open the SDCARD folder, you will see all the folders contained in your phone. Open the MUSIC or PICTURES folder, then copy your songs or pics to these folders. When you're done, check your phone. All that you've copied will be in your phone. My pics were all in folders, and this trsnsferred them all over in folders.
I stuffed about for days downloading all these programs that are supposed to connect up with the phone, waste of time, none of them worked. I even paid for 2 of them, so waste of money also. All the time, the function was sitting there in the phone !
Good Luck.
