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.

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.
I am currently running ics-deck-pa8 and after some research it seems there is no USB support for mounting, however I found this app that works great! Its easy install to. No port forwards, no firewall issues, no user/pass needed, just install, start, and change away

um, dropbox?
I dont like dropbox. Never did. Also this uses LAN not WAN access to sync everything. As well, its an FTP client so I can drag, drop, modify, share to any folder on the phone. As opposed to: drag files to Dropbox folder, wait for sync on both sides, then use a file browser to drag and drop files where you need them.
Im doing a lot of file moving back and fourth for mod'ing right now on the ICS Rom and dont have USB SD mount support.
Ftpserver app (pretty sure it's that its simple) and filezilla is what I use when cable is not an option. You can use it over wifi and 3g ... I believe that's what you are asking about. hope it helps

I tried AirDroid for ICS pa8 and it wasnt co-operating. It looked like a great App. It kept giving my my 3G IP Address and not my WiFi IP address.
hmmm. I just though about turning off 3G and trying it. Either way they both accomplish the same thing.

A long time ago I couldn't get my computer to recognize my Evo, so I bought this app called Websharing or something. It uses webdav, and I've found that too be the best option for dragging and dropping files without USB. If you can find a free app that uses webdav then I'd try that out. Once you have it setup it's just like having your phone connected via USB, except transfer is a bit slower.
The app I bought hasn't been updated in over a year. There's a free version but you only get webdav with the paid version. If you can find a free app that does the same then I'd save your money.

ROFL that's epic.
I suggest getting and setting up "Llama", I LOVE that app! Switches your profiles based on whatever rules you set. IE It puts my phone in Quiet and enables WiFi when at the office M-F between certain times, goes into Car mode on the way to/from the office, back into quiet if i work at my night job based on if i'm in the area designated, then silent mode to sleep and launches Lightning Bug app to help wife and I sleep.
DesktopVizualizer is another sweet App to customize any icon
LauncherPro and Nova Launcher are GREAT
Dropbox and AwesomeDrop are other favorites to make life easier
Get some game emulators -N64oid, Genisoid, etc -can use PS3 and XBox360 controllers with USB OTG cable
Robin is a sweet "assistant" for car use with 100% hands free aside from swiping your hand above the phone to get "Robin's" attention
Ok after stumbling accross this post, I have managed to do absolutely nothing at all work related today. wifikill is awesome. After turning on my wifi and connecting to a network, wifikill showed 186 connections. Going down the line and dissabling one at a time is truly comical. You dont know who has what ip but looking around you see people going like wtf happened. Great find thanks

Hi,
I hate itunes because we all know why.
But what is great about it - I can make backups of all my settings, apps, game progress etc.
In Andrid case you have to be genius to do all that (root the phone, install titanium etc.).
What s Google position regarding Android companion app fo PC?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Google Play is the alternative. Your mass storage is the alternative. Any computer music utility is the alternative. That's 3
and google sync is an alternative. btw, what is andrid? :silly:
You can make a backup using adb backup or by installing a toolkit without root. Am I missing something here?
Bcoz its easily mountable
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
mmm google sync pretty much does everything itunes does. have you ever done a factory reset?
once you enter your gmail login it starts restoring everything. all your apps, contacts, etc.
plus instead of waiting for your entire music library to download onto your phone again, it's instantly accessible from google music.
The idea is that you shouldn't have to make backup of everything all the time and mannage that yourself, when your phone and google's servers can do it for you(and yes it can do it for you). It's just a shame that so few developers have implemented the data backup service introduced with froyo. Currently the only apps on my device storing a data backup, is the settings app, the wallpaper app and another google application...(it does work fine with those apps, my wifi passwords and wallpaper and so on is always backed up and set automatically) Many games and other third party apps could do great with sending a backup of my progress and settings.
drag and drop ftw!

exactly who wants to fck with slow azz itunes nazi crap
I am with the OP on this one.
I just tried the ADB method on my wifes RAZR and it didnt work. All app data restored but no applications restored. iTunes is a PITA, and the way that it is pretty much the ONLY way to use you iDevice is pretty stupid. But the principle behind being able to backup and restore everything including games easily is nice. Comparing ADB backup and iTunes backup is just stupid...
Its similar to the way that Windows Restore is a waste of space quite useless, and the TimeMachine on iMac's is very useful and slick.
I would love to have some quick method of transferring game data to all devices. I do not have my xoom rooted, but my Gnex is. PITA
At least for music there is doubleTwist which is ok

ADB backup is the way, but unfortunately only good for Nexus devices, but my opinion is that a punishment to fools who buy not a Nexus device, so yes if you use ADB you much smarter the other and maybe bought the device for developer purpose. It's not easy for someone to enter a number of lines in ADB, yes iTunes maybe nazzi crap, but guys OP still have a point there, it an organizer, the app don't need stuff to like sync Gmail or Gcal, but it still would be useful to backup settings and game saves and so, at least just make us a program that could backup without using ADB and with some cute UI..:cyclops:
Play music?
You mean that?:laugh:
Its a pity the play music service isn't available in most countries, we just get a stupid play music app that does nothing besides play music that we dragged an dropped into our sdcard ourselves.

Hello there!
So i just bought a Samsung galaxy tab S 8.4 SM-T700 version. And i must say, it is beautiful...
But my problem lies in the torrenting, i got a 64 gb microsd card and put it in so that i can download things and i dont have to run my pc cos it eats more power then a tablet naturally. So i downloaded uTorrent to the tablet and it wouldnt let me download, it thinks a little and then says that the files are not found. I've tried 3-4 torrent clients all the same error.
Thinking the client was at fault i downloaded it to my phone (nexus 4) and it worked perfectly, instatnly started downloading.
So my question is that is it the tablets fault that i cannot download? I mean do i have to change some settings or do i have to give up on torrenting on it? If im at it i might also ask that would it hurt the tablet in any was that i torrent on it?
Thanks in advance!
Peace!
Antenora.
Did you change the folder to put the torrent in? It usually tells you when it saids add torrent.
I use Utorrent on my sm-t700 just fine i'd suggest trying a differant network maybe the ports are blocked on the one your trying to use.
Hi
you just can't save torrents into your 64Gb SD unless you are rooted.
anyway it's much better to get torrents on pc. it really drains a lot of battery using lte.
use torrent remote to control torrent client on your pc. works like a champ.

Appreciate you trying to be power conscious, but your PC does not have a battery that will die in a few years and be a pain in the behind to replace. Your PC is always plugged in and you're not trying to carry it around with you and have to worry about charging it every night.
Yeah I hate it when I ask a question and instead of getting a solution I get unsolicited advice, but in this case, well it makes sense.

I would imagine that it shortens the battery life, but its always going not like my pc, and truth to be told i only wanted to download some anime and maybe some series like flash to it so that i can watch before going to sleep, cos it would have been easier than downloading then copying it to the tablet, but i guess it'll have to do since i cant download until i root it, and that wont be anytime soon.
Thanks for the reply's everyone have a nice day!
Just wanted to let you guys know that I installed xbmc app on my tablet and enjoying streaming of movies from almost all big torrents like kat.ph, pirate bay etc.. watching all new hollywood movies. We can even keep the files on the tablet after streaming. Ip address is not tracked.
Also connected my tv to tablet using a microusb to hdmi cable and watching saved movies on big tv instead of watching them on xbmc player in app.

batery is not only issue when torrenting. I realised it is a pain to send the 64Gb files everytime to pc or nas. as alternative you can plug an external hd drive to easily increase a few Tbs.
