The application does not work for me in the MBP
Not sure why. I'm running it on OS X Lion and it works fine when I plug in my GNex.
Edit: You gotta make sure you open it at least once on your own. It will prompt you with the "This is an application from the Internet. Sure you want to open?" Dialogue. Click yes, and after that, it should open any time you plug the phone in.
Make sure on your phone that USB debugging is not checked when you want to use file transfer.

I have a GNexus and use an iMac as my primary computer at home and have been using the paid app iSyncr WiFi to sync music playlists from iTunes to my phone without any issues.
I've used iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component for quite some time now with multiple Android phones and have been very happy with it.
One thing to note right now is that the regular iSync app (which does its syncing via USB cable) is not compatible with ICS, so you'll have to settle for doing your syncing via WiFi. I've actually been in contact with the app dev and he's working on making iSyncr compatible but that version of the app is not yet available.

The dev for iSyncr updated the app in the market today and now both iSyncr and its WiFi add-on component are supposed to work with ICS.

I am wondering if there is an app to control our Android phone?
Like checking its status, missed calls, read SMS, battery status, etc.
From our Nexus 7....
Thanks

I'm not aware of one that does all of the above. I'm using DeskSMS with TabletSMS to read and reply to SMS. Very easy to set up and use.

Airdroid, but it requires your PC and phone be on the same network. Its browser based so might work from nexus 7

I'm using talkatone with google voice. Accomplishes a lot.
Still working on getting control of cell.
Well, it is obvious that there is no app like that.
Probably it's an idea for you developers to make it.
I don't really need to send SMS or make a call. I but just to see all the status, and check things.
AirDroid is nice if it works, I haven't tried it yet.

You can try our app, VMLite VNC Server, it allows you to view and fully control your phone from a pc, or from another device, using vnc viewer or a browser:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
I've tried airDROID, neat little app.

I can confirm this works well, and with the Jump Desktop app you get full touch control.
I've attached a screenshot of my Nexus 7 connected to my HTC Sensation.
Is there a way to use VMLite or any app like that over Bluetooth? I'd like to be able to tell my phone to turn on tethering while it is still in my bag. I'd rather not get caught doing it during class, since it's like 10 detentions -.-
Ubuntu for Android.
i bought the app and it works great over wifi, but is there anyway to get it to work over bluetooth? i'd like to be able to control my nexus 7 from my galaxy nexus when on my commute.. for changing music tracks etc..

SwiftLegend and micks_address,
Since both of you ask about bluetooth, do you mean that you want the same remote view and control of the device as wifi connection? We will definitely look at this, and update the status here.

one option to try about bluetooth connection is to check whether your devices support bluetooth tethering, if so, you can set network connection between two devices similar to WIFI.

ok, i just tested it, there is no need to use bluetooth to access between android devices, w/o 3g, w/o WIFI. Basically what you need to do is to turn on a WIFI hotspot on one device, then start vmlite vnc server on this device, it will display an ip address.
On your another device, you need to change WIFI to connect to your other device's WIFI hotspot id, then you run a vnc viewer to connect. It works very well from our testing.
There is no 3rd party app needed, pretty much all android devices support wifi hotspot.
if you need more info, please post.

Have you seen this?:

I am also thinking of adding a Record button to our vmlite vnc server, so you can record all of the mouse/keyboard events, and when you are in a hurry, you can simply push one button to accomplish recorded tasks, such as turn on wifi hotspot, etc.
not sure if this would help you during commute.
For SMS set up Google voice on your Nexus and ur nexus 7. ( works like a charm I can receive text and answer them from my nexus 7.
As for contyol I would like to hear more on this as I never have my phone to far away and on my commute home I have all my music on my phone and taking my phone out while i have my 7 out is to much.

I've always been a doubleTwist user on Android but I was curious about other softwares that could transfer my music and playlists.
doubleTwist is fantastic application to transfer files but sadly the cable sync feature doesn't work on the SIII (or does it? Any suggestions)
AirSync with doubleTwist is fantastic as well, but my home WiFi connection is garbage so it takes too long to sync.
What are your favorite applications to sync music and playlists?
Google Music! Love it. I don't even use my ipod anymore
+1, Google Music all the way. I use easy ums app to transfer files or just stick my SD card in my Mac for faster transfer. I have used AirDroid before to transfer files and it worked very well and was fast even on my terrible wifi

MusicBee is BY FAR the best desktop music player I have encountered - both for use on the desktop and also for synching.
Much more intutitive and easy to use than MediaMonkey, etc., very full featured (has replaygain, fade, etc) and unlike a lot of other programs I have tried which tend to hang, crash of sync very slowly, it works easily every time.
Im surprised more people dont use it - it took me a while to discover this program and I think it rocks.
So I totally mangled my USB prong on my GN (taking the battery out to charge it is a pain!), and I want to transfer my pictures, ringtones, etc off of my phone to my PC. What's the best way to transfer this? I actually used Sweet Home to keep back-ups of my pictures, so that is fine, but there are a few other directories that I want to save. Am I best to use an online site (Box, Drive, etc)? Or is there an easier way to back-up via wifi?
Thanks! (Sorry if this has been answered, but search is down right now.)

Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro and installed kies.. now, to be honest, i think kies is and absolute piece of s***.. i mean, it gets stuck, it won't let me add music. the UI is quite harsh on the eyes and to be honest, it isn't for everyday use like itunes it. which in my opinion is the only thing i like from apple.
Now my question is.. what software are y'all using.. don't tell me spotify or anything like that..
cheers !!
Spotify + iTunes.

I used to use doubletwist because it replicates your itunes library and can sync via wifi.
But recently I just drag and drop like a usb

I jsut redownloaded double twist and tried it via cable. THe problem is that the Note 2 only connects via MTP mode and not mass storage. Double twist requires mass storage which is a pain lol.
I've always just used the airsync because I bought the pro version for $9.99 which comes with airsync and never noticed the cable thing lol.
Thing is i don't wanna spend 10 quid on a music software... Too expensive no matter what features it has

Myphonexplorer client on phone and then install companion software on your pc. Works great on WiFi too. Awesome app I have been using for years. You can text, call from your pc and sync all your data and make complete backup of your phone to pc. Working great on my note 4.
Have you tried downloading Airdroid from Amazons App Store? Thats how I got redbox on my Note and it works flawlessly even though the Play Store said it was incompatible.

The stupid thing about sidesyncis that if your pc is wired and not using wifi, sidesync won't work.
I assumed that the dock was wired and that works fine with sidesync.

I should have been more specific about what i was looking for. Airdroid connects, but i was looking for a more "remote desktop" type of thing, not just access to certain data on your phone. Airdroid has a built in way of doing this, but it says its not compatible with note 4. The standard Airdroid stuff is working.
