Hi all
I've had the Desire for about a month, previously owned a Samsung Tocco.
One of the best things on the tocco was that I could connect the phone
to my desktop PC and use the Samsumg PC studio software to read and send sms using the desktop screen and keyboard rather than need to pick up the phone.
The texts were sent via the phone and not the web.
I was wondering if similar software was available for the Desire?
Remotesms in the market is awesome for this.

thanks alot

Just look at the specifications on the htc website.... there you'll find the answer.
Honestly with a bit of search you could have answered this yourself but since I'm not the worst person here I'm gonna explain...
The desire has out of the box tethering, you simply plug the charger/usb cable to the desire and put the other end in the laptop.
By doing that an option screen appears as you pull down the notification bar.
With the following options:
1. Charge only
2. Htc Sync
3. Diskdrive
4. Share your mobile connection (could be named different. I'm dutch so my desires settings are dutch.)
Selecting number 4 will install a modem on your pc and then your able to internet through your desire.

Thanks
sorry for being so irritatingly lazy ....
I will do better the next time
Promise i will
....
If you install PDANet, you can tether via Bluetooth. It appears to be dial up networking (which it isn't in reality) rather than a PAN, but it does work ok.

Dave

When i try to do this it tries to load the drivers which it cant find and so no connection for me.
i'm on xp
You need to install HTC Sync, which should have come on the SD card supplied with your phone.
You can also download the latest version from HTC.com

i tried to connect my htc desire z in my laptop but the computer did not recognize my device and i tried in my work pc that is a desktop and it do, later i tried to connect in another laptop and did not connect, and in another desktop and the device culd connect. can anybody help me. what is the diferents between desktop usb and laptops usb. or if is a hadware problem or firmware problem.
You have to install drivers so your desktop or laptop computer knows what your phone is. Otherwise, it has no way of knowing what it is, and just calls it a generic USB device.
Just install HTC Sync. This has the required drivers, and also the computer software to sync your personal data between the phone and your computer (if you desire to do so).

If its just to connect so you can add/remove stuff from your sd card it should be plug and play. But maybe its different in other countries lol

I have recently upgraded from a Galaxy S to the S III. I like the phone, however I am about ready to pay the re-stocking fee, and find another. My issue is that I can not sync any documents with my PC, using the USB Cable. With Kies, it will sync everything else (all the "play" things - photos and MP3's), but I use it for work and I need to be able to sync .pdf files and documents. I have use "Documents-to-go" since I switched to android OS, and ActiveSync for my old window phones, but it doesn't work on this Galaxy S III. Can anyone suggest a "work-around", or application that handles this function? Thanks for your help.
Drop box and Quick office. You can access your online documents straight from quickoffice and its cheaper than paying the restocking fee.

Is there another program besides "Drop Box"? Drop Box is a web based, storage program. I need a simple, connect by USB cable and sync application! Due to our corporate policy, they have the web locked down tight. It seems completely ridiculous that this would be such an issue with the SGH-I747....
Hi, first off, I haven't ever needed to post much here before but I love to read all the stuff available here at this site. Top notch man!
Anyway, I have a question that I cannot seem to find an answer to, and have tried numerous search terms to no avail.
Is there a way where I can hook up my s3 to my PC and be able to see the text messaging interface on the PC as well as use the keyboard on the PC to interact with them?
The PC is running WIn XP SP3 and I also have a laptop that runs Win 7.
After hours of texting, this would be much more comfortable on the eyes, and using the full sized keyboard on my PC would mean less typo corrections due to striking the wrong letters. If anyone has a solution for this, or can suggest an app that does this, please respond.
Thanks in advance.
Yesterday I saw an app on market for that .
Search text from pc or text from tablet. There are bunch off apps.

Thanks!, Not exactly what I was looking for but a good alternative. The ultimate would be to have the GS 3 connected via the micro USB and then see the messaging GUI as seen on my phone on my PC screen while being able to use my PC keyboard for interaction. I am guessing this doesn't really exist as of yet.
USB Mouse

Actually I saw some pics of my friend whose usb connector has a female usb port at the other end which has a usb mouse connected, and it works. You should try to look for that connector and try your keyboard. :cyclops:
Not sure if I understand your question exactly but you might want to try Kies Air. It's either through the browser or it comes as a little standalone application when you download Kies.
I'm using MySms and it works great. I can text from my tablet, my PC (browser or app), and everything syncs and backs up to the cloud. You'd need to install their app on your phone so it can intercept your texts and send them to the cloud. The only thing is that MMS is funky, so I still use the AOSP messenger to download and upload them.
Use AirDroid.
Does SMS, app installs, file transfers, and more through Wi-Fi or data connection

Nice find! Didn't come across this before I posted in this thread back in February. Checking it out now.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a software which will allow me to connect any android phone to a Windows laptop or a PC and then use the Windows device as a phone - to make & receive calls and to send/review/reply to messages.
This is already implemented in a lot of vehicles when you pair the phone and then call/answer through the car's UI. I'm looking for the same thing but using a Windows device (laptop, PC - with Bluetooth) like the car in the example.
Can you advise me about such a software?
Thanks!
Solution found!
I found a solution for Samsung devices and it's called SideSync. It's a Samsung app for the phone and a pc version with Windows and Mac support. It allows you to do everything on the PC which is great.
Since I recently switched from HOX to Galaxy S6 Active it works great for me. Don't know about other phones thought. It may be restricted to Samsung devices only? You can try and advise if it works for you.
