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.

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.

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 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

Es File explorer works great. You can bookmark local shares and it can treat dropbox and box.net accounts like a folder, seemlessly. Root access, etc

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.

The app is certainly there on a fresh install, you must have accidentally uninstalled as I did. When you look at the app description it reads the compatibility is for ARM processors only. This was a change that occurred after an update to Windows and native apps on the 9th. I am having the same problem. If you create a new offline user profile, the Music app installs by default but I can't figure out a way to copy that app and bring it over to the primary user account. Sure is frustrating

Firewall. You can only activate it if your phone is rooted.
Regarding the "No AV" comments, this is true if you don't sideload apps (i.e., only download apps from the Play Store). Otherwise, AV is a good idea.
But yeah, no replacement for user vigilance and care. Common sense! (No longer common nowadays, unfortunately...)
I use Kaspersky paid version on all my devices.
It has found 2 or 3 malwares from stok packages in Play Store.
So, I dont recomend anyone who download even from appstores to not have a AV check.
I think this is even more important regaring having root available.

Google has been scanning apps in the Play Store since February this year using a system called Bouncer, and this is going to be at least as effective as 3rd party malware protection. So, as MarionCast says, there's not a great deal of point worrying about this if you generally only use Play - I'd probably also extend this to the Amazon AppStore too, as Amazon do rigorously scan for malware too.
With 4.2, it is expected that Google will extend this protection to apps installed from external sources using an on-board scanner.
Personally, I think that most Android "anti-virus" software (really this should be anti-malware) is no substitute for being aware of what you are installing and the permissions it is asking for.

I don't use any on my phone. PCs it is a most and I use what is called "Layering" security procedures:
1. Install Microsoft Sec Essentials
2. Use Mozila, most viruses attack IE
3. Install ScriptFilters, AdBlockers, PopUp Blockers addin for Mozilla
4. disable Java and Flash and only enable it when needed and trusted
5. Keep Anti virus, flash and Java up to date. You should really uninstall Java if you don't need it.
6. Use a restricted account. I never, EVER, not even for two minutes use an Admin account unless I'm installing a trusted software
7. Never use pirated software
8. Never open emails from people/entities you don't know or you never interacted with. The other day I got an email from Match.com (WTF! I've never been to that site), so I automatically class it as SPAM
9. Don't go to links you are fully aware of.
10. Clean %temp% and hard drive of temp files, clear browser history regularly
11. Scan computer in SAFE mode at least once per month
Few of the above apply to mobile usage. So, so far I don't see much need for an Antivirus app on my phone, which in the end will just make my phone slightly slower an have less battery life... Just MO
I don't use an anti-virus; with a well established knowledgebase, nothing malicious will happen. That's my philosophy anyway
