Is there any application on PC that can do something similar to what the Playstore does in how it sends APK's directly to my phone? I could scp to my device, connect via usb etc...but I'm looking for alternatives. Ideas?
i think you can use adb
Try airdroid it has an option to backup apps which are probably stored in apk form.
this is SPARTAAA
Install dropbox or box and let it sync that specific folder to your phone. Anything u put 8t into that folder will be available to your phone......u get the idea..

+1 for dropbox. I use it all the time to sideload apps

Adb via wifi would work, less the cable... I would prefer ssh though, more controls eg. (un)install w/o touching the phablet even via phone network
I use email

Anyone know how I would go about mounting my EVO's sdcard on a pc wirelessly? Thanks.
bluetooth?
lol, yes that is a question
Bluetooth File Transfer from the Market works well for me, although obviously your PC has to have Bluetooth as well. I bought a cheap Bluetooth dongle for my laptop.

I just use dropbox. drop the file you want on your dropbox folder then go to your phone, find that then download it and your good
Drop box is a necessity that or sugar sync basically same thing. I use it for all my side loaded apps so they are always ready when I flash a new rom.

why not use a2sd? (apps 2 sd)
Ive tried most of the solutions mentioned. I'm particularly looking to be able to access my EVOs sdcard either through a mounted drive or windows share wirelessly. Its important I can access it in this fashion because I work on computers all day and would like to be able to carry my drivers collection around with me. Its nice to be able to just point a machine to a drive share load the appropriate drivers. FTP, Dropbox and WebDAV solutions just to make this process efficient for me.
EStrongs File Browser is nice how it can browse PCs on the same subnet but I would like to do the same except browse my phones storage from the PC side via a share.
If you used something like dropbox you wouldn't need to use your phone at all just load up your dropbox with all of them and then just log on to the dropbox website on the computer you need the drivers.
I would think that anything that would make so you could wirelessly push files from your evo to a computer, would require a program or driver installed or a Bluetooth dongle, and that would take most of the point of away
you can always just carry around a usb cable and do it that way.
do a bluetooth file transfer, that usually works for me
try android desktop it is a small websserver on your phone it allows you to access your phone through the pc web browser. free from ao store. Blue tooth is fairly slow on large files. with the desktop you should be able to use the wifi or 3 g.
i am sure i would have heard of it by now but is there any ap like the iphone browser that lets you actually browse the phone files/directory structure from windows instead of using the android based apps on the phone itself?
I'll try to be more specific when I get back to my computer, but yes, it does exist. You need an ssh server from the market and then use an ftp program on your computer (like FileZilla or winscp) I'll look up the app when I get back to my computer but then you can easily ftp to your phone and browse and manage your filesystem.

It looks like I've lost Kies Air for good. Are there any good options / applications / apk for wireless access to the SD card, Ringtone folders music and whatnot.
Kies provided access through the browser which was nice - not needing a client side install.
i don't even use Kies Air
i use Drop Box, way easier

How do you get .zip files onto you SD card? Or Ringtones into the right folder?
Just use software data cable, it lets you connect ur phone with the pc and go thru your sd card thru wifi
Ive been using this for a while since i hate usong the usb cord

OK Software Data cable is getting closer. It provides access to the Android file system via FTP. But in the file system I don't know where the Ringtones are, Where the pictures go and so on.
Again I want to say why Kies is awesome. Access to text based call log via browser window, Text Message records via browser window, Add ringtones easily (important to me anyway), access to expandable contacts list via browser window, Add and manipulate bookmarks, and of course photo, video, and music access including working with playlists.
All that plus a file browser.
This just makes working with the everyday aspects of the phone easier and provides for rooting around in the file system as well.
I'm looking for something that will do all of those things. Or at least some of them beyond the file browser.

Well theres a download for kies, cuz i dont think theres any other app that can do all that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Thanks (click). Any special things to consider when installing a system app? Like permissions or placement?
Nah, it can be installed as a user app, but if you want, after you install it, you can use titanium backup to convert it into a system app

i use wifi file explorer...it works really well..just connect to wifi, it gives you an ip and you just type that into your browser and you can explore all the files on your phone
My Sync Center
I use WiFi File Explorer. Pretty solid.
I also saw My Sync Center on Android Police. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty slick.
So I just recently divorced myself from my iPod and iTunes. My S3 is now my primary music player both at home and in the car. I keep my music in a folder on my laptop, and am looking for a program/app that will allow me to sync my S3 with said folder via USB and WiFi. I must have the option of syncing over USB since I will not always have access to WiFi. I tried Kies and could never get it to connect to my phone (which is rooted and may be the cause of my problem). Plus I keep hearing that Kies is a steaming turd. Cheetah Sync seems like it might do the trick but is WiFi only. I should also note that I want the ability to two-way sync so if I delete a file from the phone it will remove it from the folder on the laptop and vice/versa..
Thanks in advance..
Try giving this a shot:

Thanks, but I'm not using iTunes.. Just trying to sync my phone with a folder on my laptop..
Do you have a windows vista or 7 laptop? If so, you can connect your phone via usb and select MTP as your device. You'll be able to treat your phone as an external storage by simply dragging and dropping files.

Hi everyone,
An iOS App called "DeskConnect" caught my attention because it is pretty neat at what it does. It allows you to send files from your PC/Mac to your, in this case, iDevice (or vice versa) over WiFi in a breeze. You just have to download the App on the computer and iDevice register with the same account on both devices.
My question is, is their an application similar to DeskConnect for Android? I'd like to download an App on my Mac and HTC One and be able to send stuff from my computer by just dragging what I want to send into the application and then receiving the document in the application on my phone.
I know I can probably connect my phone via USB and then transfer files like but I want to know if there is an easy way to do this over WiFi.
AirDroid is pretty cool for doing that.
For me sometimes a bit buggy though. (especially when transferring mp3)
Still in my opinion the best choice!
Everything runs over your browser.
Ps: the registration is only needed if you want to transfer files through the Internet rather than using your network.

PushBullet is what I use. But the limit for uploading a file is 25MB. I know some apps are bigger than that but it's worked well for me so far, light on the PC and phone, just runs on the browser as well.

PushBullet!:good: It's simple. Download the app to your phone and the Chrome extension, log in to both and voila "push" files with one click!

I've been using WiFi File Transfer Pro for a good while now, it's very good..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
I would say Air Droid is best because you can also control your camera and have notifications displayed on the PC
Android has a lot better solution than that. You can install "Software data Cable" . Chose Sync and it create an FTP server. You just need to have a FTP client on your PC/Mac/Linux.
What's more, when the phone is not in wifi network, it can create an wireless Hotspot.

ES File Explorer which is very easy to setup, especially using this guide
Solid Explorer has a nifty FTP share feature... I used it because for what ever reason I couldn't mount my One via USB. Airdroid works well too.
Whoa! Didn't expect to get a lot of replies, thanks you guys!

Been using Wifi File Explorer Pro for about 5 years now without a single problem. I can highly recommend it
Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One
Why install extra app
ES Explorer do all jobs
Activate WiFi Hotspot or connect phone to PC WiFi
open ES explorer >> tools >> remote manager >> click on Turn on Note ftp address >> Windows explorer >> address bar >> fill Ftp address from phone to bar & now you can access all files
Phone to phone file transfer same way & 1 more short way
SuperBeam is Also for both PC & Phone
Zapya has a perfect interface and possibilty to connect to iphone and PC by wifi direct. Approximately 3MB per second
