How to use the computer keyboard on the HD2?

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...

Bluetooth ...burp

Thanks, but that applications does not seem to let me type an SMS using my computer keyboard (at least from the description)...

It does.
Try it, and uninstall it if I am lying. I've updated the link to the developer's website.

Mymobiler is a great app to access windows phone with computer, you can do all kinds of stuff there including download weather info by wifi from computer instead of GPRS.

I know that, but I don't want full control over the device, just being able to text...
If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?

I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.

Bump......

Try some remote contrl app so you can use any function of your phone on your computer...
But I'm not sure whether there is any working with wireless connection.

Download version 1.7 and you can send sms messages via your pc (hence you can use your pc keyboard).

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.

dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.

Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.

Wifi Sync

Hello, I am looking for an android app that when i connect to my home wifi it looks for a folder on my computer and syncs whatever is in it onto a folder in my SD card. Any good recommendations?

Its not 100% exactly what you described, but have you tried Dropbox? Syncs a folder on your computer with the service, and you can sync that with the dropbox app on your phone.

You're basically describing Dropbox. As long as you have a data connection you can access anything in the folder and view/download straight to your phone. I keep all my root stuff in Dropbox so I don't need to keep it on sd card. That way anything I need, I downoad, use, and delete. Plus, it allows me to search and download roms while at work and then when I get home they automatically update to my home computer for flashing.
Click the referral link in my sig and we both get an extra 500mb of space (I have an edu email address). You have to install the desktop application to get your referral credit though.
EDIT - REFERRAL LINK

Hey thank you for the replys so far. I do have drop box and I do love it! But I am looking for that one extra step at the end. What I don't like about drop box is I have to then manually download the files from it to my phone. Basically want once I connect to my home wifi it reaches out to my pc and syncs with a folder on it to a folder on my sd automatically. I don't mind if I have to setup a share or file server on my pc.

Post if you find a good app, I'm sure it's doable. Would probably operate much like RemoteDroid does for the mouse. Love that app!

There's also Awesome Drop, but it's only computer to phone, not the other way around. Still pretty awesome.

I have kinda found what i was looking for in Android Manager Wifi. here is a link:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/android-manager-wifi/com.mobileaction.AmAgent
It has many options, one being able to select a folder on ur computer and one on your SD card for them to sync up automatically. Testing out to see how REALLY automated the whole process is. But none the less this is a great app for many things it seems. People should definitely check it out!

Didn't Double Twist just implement that? Need the "pay" version ($.99), but it has something called Air Synch. Look into this and let me know if it is what you want.

Checked out Double Twist Air Sync and its not bad. But seems to only do music, videos, pics and playlist syncing. I need it to be able to do any kind of file/folder. But for multimedia people out there its something to check out.

Syncables is a broader sync solution than Double Twist

I've read similar critiques of Double Twist. I prefer Syncables through and through - and it think that's more of what you're looking for. Syncables will sync any type of folder, media file, spreadsheet, email, and even browser bookmark. It also syncs between Macs and PCs and smartphones like Droid and BlackBerries.
It has a wider suite of sync/backup/share products than the more niche Double Twist product...oh, and it has wireless sync capability using WiFi, as well.

I am actually writing an app that does exactly what you want. It's not done but the functionality is there to sync a folder (with no PC client needed). If you want to help me test it you can PM me with an email address to send you the APK.

Yea i will check it out. Sent you a PM

Just a random idea but is there an app that works with dropbox and automatically downloads changes to it to your SD card? Seems like that would also be sweet for alot of people.

Sharing files through wifi!?

Is there a simple way to share files via Wifi? In similar way to sharing through Bluetooth, or as similar as possible.
It's just that my device doesn't have bluetooth and I need the ability to share files swiftly with others.

airdroid.
works well if a bit slow.

That doesn't seem like what I'm looking for. I want a simple way to send files between two Android devices using Wifi, just like one would do using Bluetooth.
Perhaps add a "send via wifi" option.

I keep seeing "Web interface" in it. Does this require the other end to use a browser?
I think on Galaxy phones, when you click share, you'll see Bluetooth and Text messages and Email along with Share Via Wifi. Is there an app that does that?

Unable to transfer music to Nexus 5

So I've googled till my face went blue and for 2 days I have yet to find a free, reliable way to transfer music from my Macbook Air to my Nexus 5.
Google Music: Not supported in my location. I used a VPN to access the page, but even Standard Access asks for $0 purchase from a US credit card to activate the account (it greys out my foreign-issued VISA as "unsupported payment method", even though the card works for everything else on Play Store). If things get really desperate I guess I'll try using a virtual credit card (which requires a small payment), but I want to hold that off for now, since I'm worried Google might have other location-banning tricks up their sleeve, and registering with a fake shipping address might come back and bite me later.
DoubleTwist: Cable sync doesn't work, and I don't want to pay for a wireless solution which will be undoubtedly slow.
Winamp: This ugly piece of crap instantaneously crashes whenever I click the sync button.
AFT: Tired of looking for a sync solution, I gave up and figured I'd just drag and drop. Hits me with "Could not create folder try reconnecting or restarting your device.", which doesn't work either. I read online that changing USB connection mode to PTP instead of MTP solves the issue, but that didn't work either.
Right now, I'm considering FTP'ing into my phone.
I'd really appreciate alternate solutions or recommendations for free FTP apps, preferably with sync feature.
Thank you

Macs are notoriously bad with mtp unfortunately.
Ftp cafe is a good free FTP client for android. Works like any pc client such as filezilla. Can't help with making your mac an ftp server though
Foldersync can also sync via ftp....

Can you transfer via ADB?
Actually if I was in your situation although its a bit crude I'd dump everything onto dropbox and download it onto my phone. My collection is in the range of ~200MB only though. Slow but it works...

Unless you're trying to pull from iTunes. Does Media Monkey have a Mac version? I've found it to work well in the past (now I just manage all music manually).

Wireless. I use Es File Explorer but there are many others.

I'll presume you're kidding. Older androids with USB mass storage mode used to work straightforward, MTP is buggy on Mac and PTP only works for photos.

OTG sounds good but I see no need to buy an additional storage device when I have enough storage, I'll remember that for later should I run out. Nope, Media Monkey is Windows-only.

So finally what worked easiest for me was ES file explorer, with FileZilla client, 8 GB of songs moved in about 20 mins is great for me, considering the fact that it's wireless.
I guess I'll live without playlists and syncing, thanks for the help guys

Easily I have no problem to send it in my N5

Glad it worked out and nice network speeds there. ES file explorer really is a must download for everyone rooted or not. :good:
I could imagine setting up a folder sync with it using Tasker however this I have not tried.

I'm using iSyncr for Mac (paid app) for wireless syncing.
Another alternative I use is AirDroid, which also supports wireless syncing.

[APP][2.2+] AirStream: Access your computer like a Dropbox

Hi Friends,
Would love your feedback on our app - AirStream
We have built this awesome app using which you can access your files from Computer on Mobile devices from anywhere in the world. As you might have also experienced most of our data like movies, music, photos & even important work documents are still residing in our computers. Even today there is no easy way to access them on Mobile devices. But with our solution this is as easy as using Dropbox, imagine accessing all your files from your computer from anywhere in the world without any limit on GBs.
What you will love:
1. Access alll your drives & files
2. Easy & quick movie streaming
3. Integrated music player.. create playlists, import playlists, etc
4. Access computer over 3G/4G
Attached are the new builds that we will release on Google Play. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Procedure:
1. Install the apk in android
2. Copy the .jar version of AirStream desktop client to your computer & run it.
3. Login on both ends using the same credentials.
(both the .apk & .jar have been zipped due to size constraints. We have a .msi version but not able to upload due to size constraints)
Check the screenshots for your reference.
Awaiting your feedback.. feel free to reach us at [email protected]
Edit::
An older version of this is available on Google Play. The changes to the new version are:
1. Patched AirStream-Sky functionality on Android. Older version had a bug which prevented the app from accessing computer on external network. (There is still a issue on Desktop app, which sometimes require a router reset to access computer on external network)
2. Added indicator to notify whether the app is working on Local Wifi network or external network.
3. Much better graphics & UX. The app is much slicker & smoother than older one.

Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely give this app a workout. :highfive:

Tested browser and transfer (only download from PC to mobile) on the same network, all work fast and smooth!
Hope it can transfer from mobile to PC/mobile, too!

Hi, got this up and going in a few minutes. It's awesome! Something I've been looking for in an FTP like client/server setup. The beautiful thing is AirStream's simplicity. Streamed music straight away and have yet to attempt a transfer. I understand server to client functionality is fully functional. I'm experiencing it. Is the reverse true of transfers? That is, client to server. I did see someone else ask this question yet it hadn't been answered as of this writing. Thanks for the app and sharing all the work you've placed into its development. Cool. Practical. User-friendly. Literally up and running in under 7-10 minutes! Sweet

Thank you very much for this!

Tested on my Xperia Z and working great but the speed is slow in HFS is more faster,any way great job

Awesome app!!!. Ive been looking for something like this as my router wont allow me to forwad ports no matter what I do!.
Its simple which I love and works like a charm.
Only thing id like to see its an automatic cache clear on exit as going through android/data annoys me a little, But thankyou very much for this :victory:

tested @ inew v3 and workind great ! Very simple and easy application :good:
