Hi Guys,
Ive been thinking why is it that Android dosent have a propper sync center ?
Like IOS has Itunes
and WP7 has Zune
And i forget what does Android have ?
I know what HTC have there pithy sync thing n then Samsung has Kies, and theres no generic sync center for Android...
What do you guys think ?
Android is built so you don't have to rely on computers. However you can use double twist. I sync using ftp.

Yeh, But sometimes i prefer a Windows/OSX GUI to Sync vir than manually mounting SD Card,
Id like something like Double Twist but thats generic to android
With FTP there is no mounting requirements.

I remember seeing an app where you can actually view your computer's homescreen directly on your phone and control is. What app is this?
Also, do you need to be on the same wifi to control it or could I be away from my house and still control my home computer from my phone?
TeamViewer is your answer.
You can find it in the Market.

Sweet, thanks! How exactly do you set this up? And can you control the computer when you aren't on your home wifi? And does anyone need to be at the computer to "activate" something?

You go to their website and download the PC or MAC or Linux client. Then you set up an account from the client and make sure under settings you tell it to allow all connections and tweak the settings to your liking.
Then go on your phone, log in to the app, select the computer and boom! Your desktop shows up.
I'm not sure if it works on 3G/4G since I don't have a data plan but its flawless over wifi. Anf it does work outside of your home wifi network.
And no, if you tweak the settings no one has to be at the computer to "activate" it.

Sick!!! Good to know, now I can access my computer anywhere....
The best one is Logmein
It even supports my dualmonitors. Definitely worth it for this app guys.
I use team viewer, i have it controlled on my netbook, desktop and phone. and i use a common password so whereever i go I can always access all 3 things
very useful.
also, choose the setting that doens't give you a new password everytime you end a session.
do they have gotomeeting or citrix?
Not that I know of.

For those of you using the older style (mine is a 2010) version of the non-touch screen Ford Sync, it now appears that the AT&T One X will pair over BT without issue. On the 1.73 firmware the phone was unable to even see the system. Not sure if it was the OTA to stock 1.85 or flashing to CleanROM since i hadn't tried it again in weeks, but one of the two solved the issue.
Anyway, haven't tried playing media yet but phone calls work just as well as they did on my old iPhone.
I'm not having any issues with media play on my 2010 F-150.

Yeah, I assume it works fine now that i can pair. Did you have trouble getting it to work on the launch firmware (1.73)?

In my 2012 Fusion I haven't had any trouble. I just picked up the F-150 a couple weeks ago (couldn't pass up the deal) so I was already off 1.73 at the time. I can say that at times it does take a while for the media to connect. Sync just plain out rocks. Don't know if I could ever use a vehicle without it.

As far as i know.
I tried to update it, and i keep getting an error on the Ford SYNC website. They know they have a problem, but yet they say that there's no updates for my vehicle.
System used to work fine with my iphone. So i dont know if is SYNC or the phone.

Keep trying to pull that sync update. I guess its also possible that running cleanrom 4.0 made it work, but I kind of doubt it. Don't think the log mentions Bluetooth changes.
We almost certainly have the same Sync system, so don't give up!
My 2012 Edge used to give me grief and would not consistently pair either as a phone or music but since the OTA it hasn't been an issue.

Hmm, the updates aren't that big. I did mine once using a 4GB flash drive but I want to say the update was less than 10MB... Make sure your usb drive isn't locked >.<

My HOX paired with my 2011 Fusion (w/o Nav) without much fuss. Stock ROM. I had to jockey around the bluetooth searching a few times to get them to see each other, though. Music streaming works well, too.

I hate Apple products with a passion because I hate Apple as a company. But back in the day, my girlfriend at the time bought me a ipod touch. I've obviously since sold that.. But I do miss being able to just plug in my phone and have my library sync from iTunes. Are there any apps for syncing music like that? I'm always downloading music on both my laptop and my phone so it'd be nice to not have to do it myself lol.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe cloud storage providers do this. Providers such as drop box (2 gigabytes free storage) and CX (10 gigabytes free storage) will sync files to and from a home based PC AND via their android apps, to and from your phone. If you set up your account on your home based PC and sync your home files then download the app, log in and sync from your phone.....I think that should do it....

KIES will do this and so will Doubletwist and if you purchase the AirSync option it will automatically sync when your device is connected to your home network.

I wonder if either of you could do a test for me on your Surface please?
Can you open up a powerpoint presentation, and then try and "Print to Onenote" I know this is possible in Office 2010 and Office 2013, I am very keen to see if its still there in the RT version?
Or is there any other way of sending a powerpoint show to Onenote?

Just got my 64gb delivered a few minutes ago. There were very little instructions with it. I got my Microsoft account linked up but not sure how to get all my contacts and calender synced up with my Office 2010 on my desktop. I guess the days of Acticesync are gone and it all has to be done through the cloud. Is there any way to sync it up with a desktop standalone Office program?
Otherwise very cool.

Bluestacks isn't in the store yet - I just checked (LOL). We need to reasch out to them and find out their timeline.
First Gotcha
The first limitation I've encountered that I'm not real fond of is the lack of POP3 support in the mail client. If you go to Mail -> Settings -> Add -> Other Accounts, it let's you enter the info for a pop3 account then populates a screen with the info it's retrieved from the server, then shuts down with no message. I don't like that.

The only problem I have with my surface is that it doesnt treat the microsd card as part of the library. The sd card is only useful for transferring media or watching or listening to one file at a time. Other than that it is great. I have to admit thatbi like my lenovo yoga a little more.

I had heard that the MicrosSD would not house apps, but only media but did not realize it would not be part of the library. I am sure that will be addressed.
The only issue I have had is the Wifi disconnecting and I am right next to my router.
Its a windows 8/ rt thing because my wibdows 8 computer does the same thing.

You can get the sd media into the library. It involves going into disk management (via desktop mode) and adding a mapping to a local ntfs folder (you need to create this folder on the c: drive of your surface. Once you do this, you can then add the local directory (I created c:\media and mapped separate folders for each library, i.e. Music/pictures/videos) or subdirectory to your library.
There is a thread on wpcentral discussing this.
