WiFI + Kies to SYNC - Kies via Wi-Fi - Scan for Kies air server - No Devices

[chrischarles2002]

I have a Galaxy S III (S3) and trying to use the Kies to SYNC via WiFi feature.
Using the most up to date version of Kies for PC (2.3.2.12054_20).

I followed the instructions on the link in the Kies PC app “Wi-Fi Connection Setup Guide” and when I perform the “SCAN” feature on the Galaxy SIII Kies air application > the app keeps reporting “Scan for Kies air server > No Devices”.

I went as far as to completely turn off Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials (my Anti-Virus), and re-attempt with no better success.

However, when I use the “START” feature of the Kies air application, I have no problems connecting via my browser to “http : //192.168.x.x:8080” to access the Kies air web page.

I can also easily access the Samsung Galaxy S III via Wi-Fi for device / folder browsing.

The goal here is having the ability to SYNC my PC and Galaxy device using Kies, as advertised / documented, instead of having to use the provided USB cable.

Thanks in advance for any input, help & feedback that the group can provide.



As far as I'm aware, Kies will only sync via the USB.
If you want wifi sync try this app.

But, right on the Kies PC Applicaations home page, there is a statement that it is supposed to do so:

So it does.
Thank you. Gave up on Kies a long time ago, but appears the updated Kies Air has brought some new features.
Unfortunately, you appear to have found out that Kies is living up to its reputation, in that it offers but doesn't deliver.
I'll give it a go and report back.

LOL - so I'm seeing - thanks for the feedback Greenman, new to the Android world as of Saturday, left Apple behind....
