Does anyone know if there is any software out there
that would allow me to remote into my android phone via my pc? All I'm really looking for is to be able to remotely view the screen of my phone remotely.
There is a great software package out there made by
http://www.soti.net/
but they do not have software available for Android.
This would be for use with the new evo
Any ideas?
Thansk
Picme in market.
You can also setup dyndns if you know how and what it can do. They also have an app
I'm currently working on data access and full phone control. It's kinda hard to get everything working together.

Have you heard of this product?
http://airwatchstore.com/
I wonder if it really works with android. I don't have an Android yet, as I'm looking at getting the Evo later this week.
Will someone try the demo, and let me know what they think?
Thanks
*RoidRage I'm excited to see your product developed. I think your developing in a good niche as there doesn't seem to be very much software out there for this application of remoting into your phone. I'll definitiley have to give it a try.
I briefly looked at it. Appears to only be for Windows mobile and iPhone.

that's what I noticed too, however when you go to purchase it asks you what OS you have, and there is an Android option, but perhaps they are just collecting date, although in their wiki file it also mentions they support android.

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!
DUDE - found this earlier today but haven't clicked cuz dude has ONE POST and I'm not convinced it isn't a virus. Looked it up on www.SiteAdvisor.com and there is no record. I'm at work so not feeling brave, but if you are, then go nuts.

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.

So I killed my XT897. I dropped it on cement and cracked the screen so badly that I can't read it at all. Luckily I had the insurance and most of my data backed up to the cloud. However, it would be great if I could somehow back up the other stuff (apps, sms, call log, etc...) and then would like to wipe the old phone before returning it. Any suggestions on how to do this?
I guess you could adb pull stuff, but no clue how to adb pull sms messages and call log....
You usually need an app to back that stuff up. Maybe someone has another idea...

Yeah, I have those apps installed, just haven't ran them in a while...figures
What I was hoping for was a way to take remote control using a service like webkey (I use that to remote control my tablet). Problem is, I can't see the screen to configure the app so it's a catch 22!

Damn, I didn't think of that. In theory that should still work if the touch screen is still functional. I even have one of those micro HDMI dongle things here somewhere. I will report back.

I've never used it so i don't know if it mirrors the display, like on a pc, or if it just gives you a way to watch videos and view pictures. If it's like a pc it could possibly help you!

Would it be possible to install a remote viewing program such as TeamViewer using ADB on your Android device and and corresponding software on PC side???
Then you could in theory utilize the PC Application to at least search through all the Android system files and have access to everything you need to back up...
(Yes, HDMI probably works better for this because of the fact there is a GUI, but I was considering all options)

Last I remember you gotta be rooted with a VNC server app running though. :/
You might be better off just pulling all your data with ADB, flashing with RSD and sending it in.
If you pull with ADB though some things like call/text history might not be easily loaded into another phone but you will at least have all the database files and any media.

You could install a custom recovery like clock work mod then back up your phone from there. Then do a factory reset. Then uninstall your recovery. then lock your boot-loader again.
PM me 4 help
In response, with TeamViewer one is not able to "control" an Android device, as there is no Graphical User Interface (GUI), but I am able to access all files and such with my PC. And I will check to see if indeed being rooted is required to install this on the Android side.

how to enable true multitasking in wp7...
as multitasking is the most essential feature of a smart phone.
I have tried the instant resume tweak but it's still useless.
whai I want is the real multitasking as in Symbian.
there is a donotkill app list in wp7 registry but can't get it to work.
so any help regarding multitasking is most welcomed....
If you explain what you need multi tasking it would be easier to help understand why background tasking is inadequate for you.

What exactly do you plan or intend to do? That kind of functionality is available to developers through the Background Transfer APIs. On a Windows Phone, downloading in the background (or uploading) is not very useful for most Apps. Some scenarios where it could be are Apps like Dropbox, Skydrive, Nokia Drive (offline maps and voices downloading), for example.
well you all are not understanding so let me explain using example.
what want----
suppose ucweb is open and I am downloading a 200mb file what ever extension maybe.
when download is started after some time a message comes up power saving while downloading.
and it blocks the lockscreen to come up until download is completes.
but I in meanwhile if I minimize ucweb and open other app or simply lock the screen the download is paused,
this is what I don't want.I want the download to continue even I switch app or lock the screen.
the only app I have seen who's does it is while downloading any app from marketplace...as it continues even I switch to other app or lock the screen
so I explained it in detail.now suggest me any homebrew apps or any process to do that.
I am still pretty sure this can be done. But I do not know of any app that does it simply because there is no need for it.
And even if you did download the file, the only way you can take it out is uploading it to skydrive or some other cloud storage from the app that downloaded it.
And I still see why on earth would you want to download a 200 MB file on a phone.

Exactly, remember that like it happens with iOS in Windows Phone there's no way to store files and retrieve them easily. Every app is encapsulated and cannot access other apps files.
So for example, if you download a 200mb movie it will only be available through the app and not through Zune, and probably only while the app is open.
But hey, sounds interesting. Maybe I'll write one.

why is 200mb to biggg. and please name the app you are taking about.And don't worry about the taking it out by SkyDrive or any other cloud storage as I don't need to upload in order to get files out of wp7.5. I can take files downloaded by any app in my phone with help of PC data cable. i only want the solution of the background downloading.

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
