Best control Nexus PC software? (text, etc) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I used to use Texdro (Pro version) but recently not only has the dev fell off the earth, my PC software won't run... looking for the best way to control my phone (wifi, bluetooth, usb, doesn't matter), mainly for texting but full control would be nice for emails, etc.
What is everyone using or what do you recommend? (thanks in advance)

"My phone explorer" has always worked really great for me, and it is free

I use snappea. You should try it

I recommended AirDroid.

[Q] - Torrent Client

Do you guys recomend any Torrent Client with no speed limitations??? What do you guys use?
Enviado de meu Galaxy Nexus usando o Tapatalk 2
I use tTorrent Pro, but I hear BitTorrent has a beta in the Store right now.
I highly recommend tTorrent Pro; it's excelent. BitTorrent, on the other hand, is BitTorrent. Need I say more?

BitTorrent sucks balls. I stopped using their PC client long ago to only use uTorrent. (I know it's now owned by BitTorrent Inc, makers of BitTorrent, but they never made it to begin with and it's awesome)
For Android, though, I highly recommend tTorrent Pro.
Another vote for tTorrent Pro. Works great and has a nice interface.
Thanks all for your answers. I always use utorrent on pc, i will try tTorrent Pro now

You will not be disappointed.
You could also use Transdroid to connect to your desktop client to add torrents and whatnot. Works a treat when I need to download something when I am at work or at the park or whatever.
you can try adownloader
Has anyone tried the bittorrent client for Android? Never tried tTorrent before.

aDownloader is top notch. Fast, no speed limits, unlimited downloads and uploads etc.

I've used it and it's like any other torrent client. I guess I would probably lump it closer to Transmission if anything. On 4g it will start really slow then max out the connection in no time.... the down side is that it will max out the bottom end of your battery really quickly as well. I can't say that I reccomend using tTorrent for an extended period of time. Works great in a pinch but you will have to kill it when you are finished.

Which Office App should I use for Nexus 7?

I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

How did you get cloud on? When I go to it it says its not compatible...

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

Thanks for the king soft suggestion. It is much better than quick office pro I got for free on Amazon.

I like king soft but its very laggy. Anyone else ?
I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

I have king soft installed and it works perfectly, haven't experienced any issues.

Tablet talk

I can get tablet talk to connect and function perfectly on my n7 connected to my S3 via bluetooth, but it keeps disconnecting frequently via wifi.
I've changed ports to 8080 on both but still the problem persists. Would prefer to have wifi as the would be less drain on both my n7 and S3 that way.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I used to use TabletTalk but since getting my Nexus 7 it never worked 100%. DeskSMS and TabletSMS from ClockworkMOD work perfect and wayyyyyy better.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/
DeskSMS
TabletSMS
Works awesome in chrome with the extension as well.
mysms has also worked well for me and is free. It will also sync as long as both are connected to the internet (ie you don't have to be on the same network).
I also connected n7 and s3 with tablet talk but when a SMS arrives it isn't synched with tablet and I don't hear notification sound in my s3 so I've lost a lot of SMS. Do you use s3 with stock or custom ROM??

I also use TabletSMS, this one is not depending on the devices to be connected to each other or even on the same network, i never got tablet talk to work the way i wanted, especially when i lost the connection i had to physically connect my phone to the tablet again using the connect button, nothing else worked, but this one works perfectly, always.
Works great for me. One of my top used apps on the Nexus7 . Use WiFi mode mostly but works fine using Bluetooth. Never have and issue synching it with my gnex on wither mode.

i use tablet talk and was experiencing the same problem. the issue is that most roms, even stock if im not mistaken, disables wifi after the screen has been off so long... solution: go into settings and change wifi scan to bigger intervals.. worked for me. hope this helps

Do you use WI-FI or bluetooth connection? Which is the best to save battery life?

Have you tried SyncSms? It syncs your texts utilizing Dropbox or Google. Been using it a long time and it works beautifully. You'll need a network or wifi connection for your tablet. Learned about it on XDA as an XDA fellow created it. It costs a few bucks but worth it. Do a search and you should find it. Highly recommend it.

TabletTalk is different. Connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can put your phone in your pocket and go anywhere and tTalk makes you like a phone. Connection to internet is not necessary nor is data.
I use Tablettalk all the time over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all the time. The trick for me on Wi-fi was to put the IP address in the tablet to the phone. then it connects and stays connected everytime.. Just my two sense work..
Tablettalk is the cream of the crop.. works an dsome of the newer featrues coming will be great.. (p.s. Not i dont work for them. I just love this app)

Anyone know of a Twitter app that loads pictures in timeline?

Right now I'm using tweet lanes and I like the fact it shows pictures on the timeline but I was curious if there are any other clients that do this. Also was wondering if there are any clients that let you add to your different lists as well. Thanks in advance.
Using Plume and its loading pix in timeline normal for me.
Yes Plume is the app you're looking for

I have, and very useful. I installed it on my parents phones because they sometimes call me and don't know how to do something. I tell them to open the app and I log in and bam! I'm using their device
Link to app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.quicksupport.market
This is the best app for rooted users
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bbqdroid.bbqscreen&hl=en
it has more FPS and more fast as compared to Teamviewer.
not compatible with windows XP + TeamViewer gives me a late screen (2 to 3 seconds ! so i can't play games with it )
Any other apps cheers ??

I think he means a direct link to the phone, like the option on some newer TV models which have screen mirroring for using apps and playing games, rather than just taking control of the phone via remote clients which is usualy very laggy.
I think this would be a great option and theoreticaly it should be possible as PC systems are quite configurable.
Hardware Solution instead
That's what I use to either play games or watch youtube on normal TV oder PC monitor:
HDMI adapter
(No software solution indeed, more a solid one)
