Syncing two samsung devices
Andybarbet - 6/12/13 at 09:38 PM

I have an S2 phone & mrs wife is getting me a Samsung tablet for xmas.

Question is - whats the best way to sync them together ? Apparently I can use samsung kies ? But is there a better way ?

I am presuming that I can also link it up with my ageing netbook too ?

What are the locostbuilders recommendations :-)

Kies Air, it's what it's made for ! No wires, no messing, just synch them !

Yep Keis for me too.

Are you planning on having work email synchronised on your device too? We recently updated our exchange server at work and now anyone using a Samsung phone gets copies of text messages saved into their email - the upshot is that your IT guys can read all of your text messages. Strange that it only happens on Samsung, other makes running android haven't been doing it, and so far we haven't found a way to turn that feature off!

I've had nothing but trouble with Kies on my computer and have given up on it. Last time it updated it uninstalled the previous version then the install stopped and said I had a previous version and had to uninstall before the new one would install. Now it is stuck in a loop where it just goes round trying to uninstall the old version and starting to install the new.

I now use Moborobo to back my phone up.

I hate Kies with a passion, it's the worst piece of software I've ever used. I prefer Airdroid, it's much more reliable. It doesn't need anything on the PC as it's web based, and the connection is simply a case of taking a picture of the barcode on the screen.

I use kies and it is a bit clunky but haven't had many problems with it.
I had a galaxy S2, best phone ever. I have a S4 now and have recently got
a Samsung smart tele and it all seems to sync itself! Tele found the pc,
pc found the tele and the phone. Tele plays films from the pc and can access
the internet. I am half hoping that I come home and find the ironing done!!!
