I've been using freefilesync to keep my phone's music library synced properly with my computer. Currently using an S7 (Verizon) with 6.0.1.
Is there a way to connect my phone wirelessly (either through my home network Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct) to my Windows 7 PC via MTP (Since apparently USB Mass Storage is now not an option at all)??
Or do I have to use the USB cable to get MTP functionality. I've used Airdroid and some server app but they don't give MTP and the ability to sync, they do give the ability to transfer files but that's not what I'm looking for, plus you can do that via ES File Explorer in a much simpler way.
I truly want my PC to read my phone's contents and only update what's missing or newer, I don't want to have to "search" my phone myself and manually copy/transfer files.
thanks for any help.

Hi all,
I'm looking for the quickest way to wirelessly transfer files to my Pocket PC from my Desktop, without using ActiveSync.
Is it via BT Explorer? I have used this before but wonder if there is another way before I buy a BT dongle for my desktop. If there is an application out there that perhaps does it over WiFi, I'd like to try that. I'm willing to pay for it if it's a decent app.
How does everyone typically transfer files without having to connect to USB and fire up ActiveSync?
i just select the file on vista, right click on mouse and select "send to -> bluetooth device"
Cool, thanks for the reply. I use XP but it looks like it has this feature as well.
Depends what you mean by quickest. If you mean just click on file and send to other device, then bluetooth is the "quickest" once you have established the partnerships. If you mean how fast the file(s) get transferred to the other device, then WiFi will do it faster, but you need to map network drives, setup sharing, permissions, firewalls, etc. You would also need a program that allows mapped network drives, like Resco. Personally, I use bluetooth all the time to transfer files to/from my phone. I use Wifi only when I need to transfer music or pictures or large files. Hope this helps.
So Can Someone Walk Me Thru The Steps To Install

I do not think you can connect a windows phone to a Mac computer. They are not compatible.
What you can do instead is -
1.download the cookiehometab.cab file on your computer,
2.then send yourself an email that is linked to your phone and attach the .cab file.
3.dowload the attachment on your phone and then run it to install it.
That should be all you have to do.

You can download the apps to your computer, they will just be unrecognizable. Transfer them to your SD card through USB or Bluetooth, and then search it on your phone. This worked well for me. Quicker then DL them strait from your phone!
theres a software called "missing sync" for mac's. try searching for a torrent or unless you want to buy the program. but it works better than activesync in my opinion.
Moved as not software release.
I'm using a macbook to connect to my hd2 most of the time. No problems connecting at all.
Connect USB cable and connect as disk drive on HD2, Macbook sees hd2 sd card as disk drive. Just access the drive on your mac and transfer the file(s) to hd2 storage card.
Or, if you have set up a bluetooth connection between the mac and the hd2, use the mac's "sent file" option in the bluetooth menu.
After you get the file to your HD2 you can use the original installation instructions again.
The syncmate program works great for syncing your contacts etc. But had some trouble getting it to work through bluetooth. I use the USB for that. But than the phone has to be set to active sync mode.
(love my macbook pro, but hated the iphone hype and the restrictions hence the HD2)
Hi,
How can I update my Marketplace apps via USB/Zune. Everytime I click on Marketplace with the USB/Zune connected, it says sync complete please disconnect.
Also when I am connected via USB to my PC, does the phone use the PC's internet connection?
Thanks

Why not just update them on the phone? Use WiFi if they are big and/or your data plan is very limited, but no need to do it on the PC...
Access to the WP7 Marketplace was removed from the PC Zune software (it's possible to get it back, but something of a hack). However, the phone does still lock the full media library, which is integrated with the Marketplace, while connected.
If you really want to connect the phone to the PC (which does use the PC's Internet connection, so long as it's actually connected and not merely charging), but also want the media library unlocked, there's a tool called ConnectWP.exe that is just for that. You have to sync with Zune first. Look up online to see how to use it.
I agree, they won't allow Zune to access the Marketplace or WP apps.
You can update using WIFI/Data or if you hook your phone to your computer and exit out of Zune after it starts you should be able to access the internet on your phone. I love that feature!
thanks, how can you tell that it is using the PC internet connection when connected via USB?

there should be a symbol to show it is using the PC connection:silly:
I am attempting to USB tether Internet access to a desktop with a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro. The process works flawlessly on my laptop, which already has WiFi Internet access and is running up-to-date Windows 8.1. There is no software or updates installed on the PC, aside from that which comes with Windows 8 Pro. Windows Defender/Firewall are disabled.
The PC does not recognize anything stored on the GS3, whether set as MTP, PTP, or neither, making it difficult to attempt transferring drivers. I have a UWF-1 wireless LAN adapter meant for Onkyo receivers, but it shows up as "UB93" with an exclamation mark in Device Manager. I've located potential drivers for the adapter, but I'm unable to transfer them from my laptop to the PC without the PC recognizing files stored on the GS3.
I have a single DVD-R I could use to transfer, but as it is the only method of transfer I have available, and I have single disc, I want to load it up with all potential fixes I can come up with before burning.
Any suggestions to get either USB tethering or the wireless LAN adapter functioning? or getting the PC to recognize files stored on the GS3?
Hello r/android. So I'm trying to determine what my options are with transferring files to and from my phone to my PC. Currently I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 and my PC is a Dell XPS 15 9550. I've got some options that are almost perfect but none that are satisfying the file transfer experience I'm seeking. Here's the situation and what I'm trying to do.
Often I use my PC and phone at work to download business metric based files. Our company only provides us with old and feeble PC's with very few user permissions. I have a USB key that I carry around and attach to the store PC. I download the files to the USB and then move the key to my Dell laptop. I'll highlight relevant text on my documents as needed and then I want to transfer to my Galaxy S7 phone in my work document folder for mobile viewing as needed. We do have public WiFi at work and I can connect both the phone and laptop to it but it is extremely slow and clunky so I choose not to if possible.
Currently I've been using one of a few options on my personal devices depending on my mood.
-Transfer documents from Dell PC to S7 via USB cable.
-Transfer using Bluetooth file transfer. Reliable but not as intuitive as dragging and dropping using an app like Airdroid.
-Don't seem to be able to utilize WiFi direct. I believe the Dell 9550 wireless card is not capable of this.
-Use Solid Explorer on the phone to connect to the PC after setting up LAN connection. This only works though if both the phone and PC are connected to the same public WiFi network at work.
I guess what I'm asking is there something like WiFi direct or an adhoc network that will let me phone and PC communicate via WiFi cards without being connected to a WiFi network. Something that is also somewhat easy to use via drag and drop methods when making the transfer of files. If not is there an app that will offer a more friendly UI for the bluetooth tranfer where I can drag and drop directly into my work documents folder on my phone?
