I've seen some people using this in Youtube videos and I would like to know where to get it. Do you need an app and a program or what? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I'm not sure about controlling the EVO with the PC but you can use an app such as Phonemypc to use the evo to control your computer.
Quick question, how do I know what's my computers name?

Not sure which program you are referring to exactly, and there are quite a few out, but Droid Explorer is the best one, hands down. I use it all the time on my Windows 7 machine. It gets better with every update and lets you do things that most of the others do not. I highly recommend it.

Two other options are:
DroidExplorer control your EVO and much more from PC
TeamViewer remote in and control your PC or any PC running TeamViewer from your EVO
Both are free and far better options IMO
Very nice...Tried TeamViewer, and its was nice. the screen lag was fairly minimal as well.

Yeah, TeamViewer is amazing. I use it daily in trouble shooting other pc's. I have used Hamachi and VPN and GoToMyPc and pretty much everything else, but TeamViewer is by far the best. And FREE for personal use, so hard to beat.
i had no idea an app was out that could control my evo from a pc I need to check this out asap.

Have any of yall tried Splashtop Remote..I like it but it does seem to be lag at times. Does TeamViewer or the other apps you recommend work on a 3g connection as well? or is it only your LAN?
I've used this in the past but it was laggy as heck. Maybe it's gotten better?

Droid VNC server works just fine to control your EVO from your PC.

Splashtop was ok, but really too lagy for me and not nearly as advanced as TeamViewer. There really is no other remote access software that compares to TV. Almost every IT pro I know has switched from Hamachi or VNC to TeamViewer and with it being FREE for non-pros, I just don't think you can do better.
DroidExplorer works in the opposite direction, controlling your EVO from your PC. The thing I like most about DE is that is Android specific and it has the abilities of a RootExplorer with tons of access to your EVO. You don't even have to mount your SD to move files back and forth from SD to PC and vice versa. The only lag I have experienced is using the screencast feature, but it wasn't that bad either. There is a pretty comprehensive list of abilities here.

How so? I have Android VNC Viewer on my rooted (cm7) Evo and I can't seem to make it work with Chicken of the VNC.

I would have to disagree. I (as an IT Professional) prefer WYSE PocketCloud for remote desktop from my phone. It (imo) has the least lag and most options and the mouse and keyboard are top notch. It does cost money, but well worth it. But is only good if you have Remote Desktop setup. Dont like installing "free" software on my clients machines.
How much money? And thanks for answering so far after the thread was created. I appreciate the help.

Teamviewer does not have to be installed. There is a run option in the exe. I use Teamviewer all the time, if I can't physically get to the workstation. I use Log Me In Rescue as well, but prefer Teamviewer for personal usage.

WYSE pocket cloud has a free version. I use it often
im trying to find the same thing. im making a car pc and would like to control my evo from my car pc, and use its navigation and all. i know i could use hdmi to go through the monitor but i want to to be interactive with the external touch screen and all. and im trying to find a way that will work through usb since i i cant share a connection in my car if the evo is creating the wifi hotspot.
Got my new Galaxy Nexus today, and the day went pretty much playing with it.
One thing that I don't get is that if you're using Mac/OSX you need to download an OSX app from android.com to use USB Mass Storage mode in OSX.
Really Google? You really can't be serious with this BS towards OSX users
Google don't like apple simple and its vice versa

It's not that.. the nexus doesn't support USB mass storage.. it uses MTP (a microsoft protocol) for media transfer..
OS X doesn't have native MTP support like Windows does.. so google provides a program you can use to transfer files..

This is the sad truth.. there is an advantage to it (which is why they chose to do it); the entire storage can be used for apps.
If it's a big issue for you, just wait until an ICS device with an SD card comes out. the SD card will allow regular USB mass storage (without any extra PC/Mac software)

Just wait until Google's OSX app crashes for the n'th time in a row. Then you will really question Google's choice of MTP.
Google wrote that using this scheme allows Android to keep the drive mounted and provide access to the host. And with respect to MTP, well most people use Windows and MTP is well support on that platform.
Sigh...
i downloaded the app and haven't thought about it since. not a big deal.
eric b
I can't say i've really noticed it being a problem, it was the same with the xoom. It exactly the same process,just the 3 minutes it takes to download the app the first time that is the difference.
Not really a major issue.
There's also things like Wifi File explorer and also a DAV server - so you can mount the phone remotely as a drive - available on the android market.
No real need to use the cable, unless you're doing development with it.
Or you can run Windows in a VM on your MAC like I do. I need windows for certain apps so I have Parallels 6.0 and I get everything I need without compromise. The BLAME sites squarely with APPLE.

The app isn't downloaded to be used on the phone, its downloaded and used on the computer.

thank u
That app seems to barely work for me with my tab 10.1. It worked fine at first, but now it never seems to work regardless of the ROM I'm using (which is typically stock). Hopefully the Nexus won't/doesn't have that problem.
If you're wondering, it doesn't show the data on the device. It just shows <none> for the folder and file.

MTP is NOT a Microsoft protocol (though might've been developed by them). It's a USB standard and has been since 2008. Apple has just been slow to implement it.

Not raging, just wondering why it is this way. But I got good responses, and couple of idiots here also trying to boost their egos.
The thing why I'm complaining is that the app that google tells you to install, doesn't work very well It usually hangs on the first run, and you have to force-quit it, and open it again to get it working.
I'm a noob so don't go hard on me please.
I just wanted to know if there's a way to get all the Android market apps to show on my phone. For the wildfire s, if I type "frontline commando" , it won't show it but when I tried it on my galaxy s, it showed so I was guessing that Android market checks your hardware before presenting the apps.
I just want to know if someone can help me try to get it to show all the apps. Thank you
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
Looks like you can't. If you go to the Market on a PC Frontline Commando comes up in the search but it on't let you install on a WFS. I guess on the phone it checks first.
Android market will only give you a list of apps that are compatible with your phone.
Although the Market only shows you the apps compatible with your phone, in theory it must be possible to fool Market as to your phone's hardware, surely ?
Whether this will do any good is another matter though, e.g. downloading apps that are supposedly incompatible ?

So today I got a new notification from the LG Nitro HD Drippler app, and it was talking about this application called Moborobo that lets you manage your devices, both iPhone and Androids. I gave it a shot, and it's simply amazing! You just download the application on Windows and run it. Then connect your device to the computer when it asks. Simple as that.
See your phones screen on your PC's screen
See information about your device instantly on your PC (Including memory and battery information!)
Backup and Restore all your data
Go through all your contacts, all your messages, and your entire call log
Install new apps, or manage current apps on both iPhone and Android
Manage all music and ringtones
Manage all pictures and videos
[Android only] If you have MoboLauncher, you can manage all themes for it through Moborobo
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
P.S. YES, THIS WORKS ON LG NITRO HD WITH CM9!
Huh, so it kind of sounds like AirDroid, but maybe with more?

Afternoon all,
I'm hoping someone can help me before I smash my watch into a million pieces ...... I've had the watch now for about 3 days and still have found no way to put apps on it. If I try and open maps or Whattsapp it opens them on the phone. I have little icons in the start menu for music, find my phone, Fit and Google keep but nothing else.
I've seen a few YouTube videos where program icons can be accessed by swiping the screen left or right but mine doesn't do that. In the instructions I got it said compatible for apps for Android Wear would automatically appear on my watch..... this hasn't happened either??
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You are correct the apps will automatically show up on the watch if you have them on your phone. Try downloading "Wear mini launcher" for quicker way of opening apps. That's probably what you saw on the video. Android Wear 5.1.1 will have a better start menu and will probably hit the Sony watch in the next week or two.
Is your watch connected to the phone? I'm guessing it is but if you're not seeing wear apps that should be there maybe go into the Android wear app settings and click "resync apps".
Also you should be able to open apps by getting to the OK Google screen and going all the way to the bottom and click "start...".
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the quick reply, I can see everything now apart from a icon for Whattsapp, any ideas?
It probably only displays notifications and isn't actually a standalone app. I don't use it myself so can't say definitely. There's no standalone hangouts app either but you can still send texts through it.
Thanks, your reply makes sense.

The Android Wear can't run any stand alone aps yet, however it might change in the future.I'm personally waiting for Google to make copying music like the smartwatch was a flash drive available

You can use adb to install standalone Android apps. Android Wear is still Android at its core. A lot have issues due to screen size and UI differences but you'd be surprised what apps will work. Got a few emulators running. You can push any file you want to the smartwatch using the adb command adb push filename /sdcard/.
You may have to be rooted but it's incredibly easy to root the watch. Can get a lot of cool apps running by playing with the DPI and such. Although some apps (games especially) will kill the battery rather quick as it's not meant for that stuff.
