Kies Air bug

[michaeldevilk]

Hello everyone!

I just got a brand new SGS2-I9100T and i wanted to import songs from my laptop to the phone. I used Kies Air but it prompted me to install java to upload multiple files at the same time. After installing java 6u31 I reloaded the page but since then i cannot access Kies Air anymore. I tried Chrome, Mozilla and IE but got the same bug:
- Page start loading, sometime i might see the dark greyish background
- Then it get stuck there and won't do anything no matter what i do (refresh, close and reopen)
- It will even make my browser bug and it stop responding.

I tried to a few things with no success:
- download a fresh version of java 6u31 and re-install
- restarting my computer
- using the task manager to stop java.exe and then relaunch the browser

And just to make sure,
I am using the correct IP address and port in the format of H.H.H.HPPP,
I am using a pocket wifi from vodafone Australia,
My laptop and my phone are indeed on the same network.

Please advise me on how to proceed and get it working, I really do not want to upload hundreds of music in my phone one by one :dong:

Thanks!

Did you allow the computer to be connected to the GS2? If it's similar to the GNote, the phone will have a pop-up asking if you want to allow the computer to connect to it. Once connected, the computer's IP address should be displayed under authorized devices on the phone.

I have no problems transferring multiple music files over. Unfortunately, Kies won't allow uploading a folder to it. So I'm going back to connecting via USB if I'm transferring albums via folders. Much quicker and less work to get things organized.

I would never consider using Kies for file transfers. I just connect the phone as a mass storage device and then drag and drop files using a file manager. The only thing Kies is good for is updating the OS.

Yep I authorized it on the phone and i end up with that problem.
Thanks anyway!
