Recently some of the system dumps from the upcoming Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid hit the Developer community, and they have been trying to piece the puzzle together of what the Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid is all about. We got our hands on a new app which looks like it will be front and center when the device finally hits the shelves, Motorola Phone Portal.
Those that remember using the Motorola Phone Tools app to hack their Motorola’s back in the day (I’m getting all “Ahmad – Back in the Day” about my v600, v810, and RAZR) will instantly recognize this little gem, but it’s been updated for Android and provides some pretty cool functionality. Basically, Motorola Phone Tools (MPP) serves as an all-in-one phone manager that allows users to easily view, edit, create, delete, and play their contacts, ringtones, photos, wallpaper, and media. The key difference now is, the app is web-based and you log into your phone from directly from your browser! No installing “modems” and drivers on your Windows machine (painful), just fire up the app and press the “Connect with Wi-Fi button. When you press the button, the app prompts you to either turn on Wi-Fi, or connect over USB. For this experiment, I chose Wi-Fi.
MPP lets you add/edit/delete/browse your contacts, photos, bookmarks, browser history, and media in an easy-to-use interface. Playing media directly from the device in the browser worked very well, and the picture viewer/slideshow feature is pretty damn cool. So with MPP you’ll be able to play/show-off your media anywhere from any browser. If Moto adds a Social/Sharing aspect to this, they will have a winner on their hands.
So there you have it kids, a little taste of what’s to come with the Sholes/Tao/Droid. The original Moto Phone Tools was a pretty handy app (when it worked), and the new MPP looks to be just as functional, if not more so. I am sure it will help a lot of users manage their contacts/media/content when it gets released, and the ability to do slideshows and play media from your device directly from your browser is pretty slick. I hope Moto adds more features and functionality to it as time goes on, but this seems like a sign of good things to come. Grab the .apk file below and play away!

This is a cool little phone manager app that works really well with Hero and G1. It's an app that runs a webserver from your phone that you can access over Wifi from any browser on the same network.
It allows you to:
* view/add media on your phone
* view your call log
* read and send sms from the browser
* and more!
Works with any OS - anything with a browser should work. Only works over wifi with Hero, no USB connection is possible it seems.
I replaced as much Motorola branding as I could and replaced it with HTC stuff to make it a nicer experience for HTC fanboys
Download HTCportalv2:

Changelog
v2 - Changed more Moto references to HTC

Now if only this would let me control music playback.
Still, looks super, and nice to be able to manage over wi-fi instead of usb

You mean playback music on your pc from your phone? Hmm, I think it does allow that!
But I'm at work at the moment without wi-fi so can't confirm..

I think it lets you pull files, so you could listen on your pc, but I want to control my phone from my pc.
Basically, my stereo is the other side of my room from my desktop, and I'm lazy so if I could just play music from my pc, through the phone, into my amp, then I wouldn't have to get up
Also, I wonder if this means we can send files over wi-fi to web-enabled phones?

Have you tried it out yet? I can't give it another go until I'm home, but I thought that was possible. Look at the quote:
So with MPP you’ll be able to play/show-off your media anywhere from any browser.

You can certainly run a slideshow on your pc, from the photos on your phone. Pretty sure music is playable too. Give it a go
As for sending files, yes you can, but I think you might be restricted to media files.

How can I get it work with usb?

Not sure if that's possible, I was trying too. If you turn off wifi and try to connect it says it can connect over usb too, but I couldn't get it to connect. That might only work on a Motorola phone. Everything works over wifi though

That is awesome!!

This app is awesome!!!
Everyone should check it out!!!!
Nice work Pookie!

Cool, glad you like it!
I checked out the music thing, it lets you browse the music you have on your SD card, and you can click to play, but it plays the music on your phone instead of on the computer. That's what you wanted right Branwen?
Here's another screenshot:

Looks like a great app but I can't conect in my browser, anybody els having troble

Works Great good Job
Working really well looks good to well happy

same network, can see phone and pc in the ip list in my router.
Tryed to disable my firewall and got the same thing.
Runing modaco 2.5.1 core

I really can't think what could be causing it apart from some kind of issue with your network/ports/firewalls

For mine, at the initial setup it would not work at all when I clicked the start for wifi connection. It was only after I unplug my usb cable did it work...or I might had a huge lag.

I'm using 2.5.1 too and it works fine...
Are you sure you're wifi is enabled?
Have you tried pinging the IP address from your PC's command prompt?
If you can't even ping it you'll know it's a firewall/port issue...

This was cool! Thanks for your effort!

im having the same issues in general with my hero: my laptop and the hero are connected to the same wifi network, both work fine, but they don't see each other. no ping, no ssh, no http no nothing. from my cable connected (to the wifi router) pc, everything works just splendid. i actually blame either my router (fritzbox, but some lowend version) or my laptop/ubuntu on my laptop for this behaviour, but i actually never investigated in that. whenever i want to connect from my laptop to my phone i hop via my pc, works fine.

It looks like quite a good contact manager also.
And yeah this is just what I wanted for music playback!

[Q] Kies for Mac?

Hi,
This is my first post on the forum, but I often read it, nice job!!
The subject is very explicit, does anybody knows if there is Kies for Mac?, or maybe in a future?
TIA.
Jesus.

that's a tough one....
you'll be better off running the windows emulation to get kies installed in your Mac
truth is... you are not missing anything by not installing Kies
i don't even use Kies
i did install it, but after finding out what it does, i've no use for it
except to check for official firmwares
but we have so many firmwares available from samsung firmwares.com that it has become totally useless to me
all my syncing is done via my gmail account
and music/video is just drag and drop direct to the phone
i'm sure they will release a Mac version in the near future.

Many thanks for the reply AllGamer, I come from iPhone world and I miss a tool to sync everything, including apps. Actually I sync with my google account contacts, calendars, etc..., but not apps, pictures, videos... :-(
Cheers!

I import photos and videos using Picasa and sync my music using Windows Media Player. There must be an option to sync music using Itunes.

Apple is notorious for blocking Syncs. Palm Pre initially was able to sync, Apple updated software to block then -> Palm created a workaround -> Apple block -> it might have repeated after that.
I doubt there is an official way to natively, and seamlessly sync via iTunes. Some 3rd party software...maybe, still no guarantees.
@OP, you can look into doubletwist, it has a very iTunes look/feel to it, will allow you to sync Podcasts, Music & Android Apps (sorry, no video AFAIK):
Main Page: http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/Index.dt
Mac download link: http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Download/DownloadMac.dt

if the goal is to Sync the music you have purchased in iTunes to your SGS phone, then it's rather simple
just download all the music off iTunes to your hard drive, and use a AC3 or MP3 converter to remove the Digital Right Management, then you can use the music on any device you want

Part of the reason why I hate Apple. Seriously what did they get by doing that? If you don't want to officially support syncing with other devices, don't. But intentionally blocking it is evil and unethical. /off-topic

Missing Sync for Android
i cannot post a link yet... but markspace.com is where you wanna go
that should do everything you want

hello i`m from Brazil, I bought my i9000 and outdoor kies not appear for me to buy the apps, says it does not support the country in which I am.
Sorry my english.

Downloaded Kies today from samsungmobile.co.uk and got hold of copies of XP (with SP3) and Parallels 6 and VMFusion. Runs under Leopard no problem on Parallels 6 but could not get it to work with VMFusion. Don't ask where I got the copies - seek and you will find.

I want it for Linux.

Top tip...
Don't try upgrading your firmware using Parallels 6.
Kies got to the switch to install mode (yellow screen on 'phone warning you not to disconnect) and at this point it seems that Parallels can't see the USB driver any more when the 'phone is in recovery mode...
It's possible if I had fiddled around in Win7 device manager uninstalling and re-plugging the 'phone it might have worked, but I gave up and used a PC.
Oh and of course I had a moment of panic that I would break the 'phone disconnecting it, but pressing and holding the power got it back again.
You can't really blame Parallels, as I have had all sorts of problems getting a working USB driver on two different PCs that would let Odin see the 'phone.
Aren't Samsung drivers so reliable and east to use

If your Samsung is running Windows Mobile or Android OS take a look at SyncMate - it allows syncing devcies running these OSs with Mac for free

[APP] UDPro - Remotely control your Windows PC from your phone V3.4 (29/01/2013)

Hi Guys,
I just posted my first App the Android Market (so please be nice) & thought I would let you guys know
It's called UDPro (UDP Pro) - Info copied from the Android Market
Remotely control your Windows PC from your phone.
Features included at the moment are:
1) Control Windows Media Player
2) Send a popup message
3) Lock PC
4) Log Off PC
5) Shutdown PC
6) Reboot PC
7) Hibernate PC
8) Sleep PC
9) Real Commands - Like running from cmd.exe - Pro Version
10) Multiple Computers - Pro Version
11) Added Custom Commands - Need to added to on the PC App
12) Wake on LAN
13) Change PC Volume
14) Take a screenshot of each monitor & send them via email to your desired email address (configured in the Windows App)
All information is encrypted (emails included if you use a ssl compatible smtp server)
You need to run an application on your Windows PC - It can be obtained here http://www.minooch.com/udpro/setup.exe
It has been tested on Windows 7 & Windows XP - You need to have at least .NET 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/net)
It will be minimised to the system tray when opened
By default the password on the Windows app is not set
Please make sure you open port 29000 (UDP) (The port can be changed) on your PC (if you're running a firewall). If your wanting to use it over the Internet, I suggest you obtain a static IP Address or signup with dyndns.org (obviously port forwarding would be required)
You may also need to open an additional port to be able to send emails (the port will vary depending on your smtp (email out server) server)
If you have any ideas please let me know
Works for 2.2+

Nice app.
Any other reason why you named it "UDPro" aside from the fact that it uses UDP?
Edit: You should have also posted this in this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=993 since this is a paid app.

in case you want it the other way around: control Android via Windows PC:
use MyPhoneExplorer !

Make the exact same thing except work over Bluetooth. I came from SE phones and symbian/Nokia so I miss salling clicker.
Add text message notifications, and if at all possible, respond to texts. Phone notifications of who's calling, of course both of these would be on the computer.
But yeah Bluetooth support would be sick!

Hmm,
Salling Clicker was a great app - I used it on me SE T610, P900 & P990
I might have a look at making a separate app like that - As adding it to UDPro would need a whole new design & code base - If I do, I ask you to test it for me

New Version is online
Version 2.1
Added the ability to control the PC volume - under system controls

Wow, this app looks really nice. Great work, using it now. Thanks....

Update 1.1/1.2
Time to upgrade came for SkyManager! Version 1.2 brings some new features and bug fixes... and a new logo due to some little problems with Microsoft.
New Multi-user / Multi-account
With SkyManager you can now add multiple SkyDrive accounts and switch without having to sign out and in again.
Support for ZIP files
On previous version it was not possible to open ZIP files, now it is! By tapping any ZIP folder it will be opened and you will be able to open any contained documents which formats are supported by your phone (typically Office, PDF and photos). It is read only access.
Support for video files
You can now watch your videos from the app. You don't need to download the entire video since streaming is supported.
New sharing options
You can share any folder or any file, sending a link by email or SMS or even post it to your preferred social networks. Sharing can be also granted with editing permissions.
Shorten URLs
When you share you tipically get a very long url, with SkyManager 1.2 you can shorten the sharing url to something like http://sdrv.ms/abc123. It is also possible to copy the sharing url to the clipboard for any particular use.
Quota information
SkyManager will detail your current used and available space, for each account you have registered in the app.
Available in new countries
Some new countries are included now (the ones added in the latest Marketplace expansion)
Language Localization
The app now its available in Czech, Spanish and Russian.
Other improvements and bug fixes:
Switch to list/detail view is now persistent
Fixed issues with cropping images. Btw, check this article on cropping and sharing to SkyDrive seamlessly
WiFi control button on Upload Center allows you to quickly enable WiFi for faster uploading
Fixed issue causing Office documents in root folder not opening
Fixed some settings in preferences not taking effect
Improved user experience with nicer page transitions

The app is great and as I allready use Appointile I bought it immediatly.
I have one problem:
I only can upload pictures from the pictures hub, if I try it from inside the app the upload doesn´t work correctly. The app is trying to upload but never finishs and stays on this page: uploading to skydrive ...

Hi, did you try with a different photo?
Can you also try 2 photos together?
If problems persist please file this bug here http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/list/11745-skymanager/?order=updated&type=3&status=opened&tag=all

Thx for answering. I found out how it works:
Before uploading you have to set the folder (by tapping on any photo you have selected) where the selected photos should be stored... that´s all.

Strange, because it should upload to root folder if none specified. Will investigate...

After first start it didn´t work but after selecting a folder once all is good now..
Really like the app.
I also suggest an "auto-delete-toggle after uploading" under preferences, but this I have allready posted in the SkyManager idea section...

Good is working now. Please report if anything else goes wrong.

Is there anyway you can get music to show up in Zune via skydrive ?

We haven't tried that yet, but should be possible to implement, the same as video playing which is indeed supported. What happens when you open an audio file from the app?

I found another bug:
if I pin a folder from my skydrive to the startscreen I can´t open files from there beside .zip-files. If I run the pinned apptile I can open all types of files.
Any solution ?

Do you get any error message?

Good job! Espacially that shared stuff works nice.
Though it would be nice if you don't tease people with ad-free screenshots. That's not fair and I think it even is against the terms of AppHub! And I don't like it on XDA too.
But don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having ads in your app. You definately should earn something for your hard work. And I use your app anyway

Thanks for using it. Ads are only present in the free version as in most free apps, in order to have resources to keep supporting the app. Some people make apps for a living

This app performs and function better than the official app. LOL I think MS should just replace their app with this one.

FYI, full version is on sale for $0.99

Thanks

[HOW TO] Transfer the files (downloading to) from your device to GEAR via BLUETOOTH

According to this topic "File Transfer to GEAR" with Thanks!, today we have reached how to transfer file via Bluetooth connection (Smart phone & GEAR). HOW?
As a requirement, what you need are :
App "Bluetooth File Transfer"
ADB or Wondershare GoMobile (to be installed on PC)
Remember that ... your device and the GEAR is now connected (paired up)
For HOW : ... I would like to make the steps for you to follow.
1.It is a must that app "Bluetooth File Transfer" is needed to be installed on both sides (on your mobile device and GEAR). For the GEAR, you can download .apk file from here, and put it into the GEAR by the use of ADB or Wondershare GoMobile (hope you know HOW TO).

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Once the app "Bluetooth File Transfer" installed on both sides, run the app on both sides. (On the GEAR) you need to click at the bluetooh icon on the right (as you see from the picture above) to make a connection with the device by clicking at the picture of the device under the Cache)
** You will get the 2-3 notifications on your device as it needs the permission to go on. Just allow them.
3. Once it gets the connection, you can see all the folders (which are in your device) shown on the GEAR's display. For this step, it means you have come to the achievement.
4. You can browse any files : photos, doc, ... etc. on GEAR's display and choose them to be downloaded to the GEAR.
** I've tried to use it on the device, but not success, so make it this way, it works.
5. (As the example) Once you find the photo to be downloaded to the GEAR, just choose it and hold touching for a while to get extra functions (Delete, Download, ... etc.) ... If you choose 'Download', you will see something like the above screenshot (It is downloading the selected file to the GEAR via bluetooth)
For this screenshot, you can see that after downloading the photos, they are on the GEAR for sure.
** app "ES File Explorer File Manager" can help you see all the folders and files on the GEAR.
If you click on the downloaded photo, you will get the extra function as shown on the screenshot, you can view it by choosing 'Gallery'.
For this screenshot, you see that those photos downloaded to GEAR are on the GEAR. (This is shown by Wondershare GoMobile.)
Hope this help you, GUYS (Gear users).

This is cool. Makes me think we are just a little bit away from getting a bluetooth tether to the watch for direct internet access.

Nice & simple guide, well written.
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to write a proper guide.

This is great thanks for this!! Will try this!

Worked great!

Thks it works for me !
Thks for sharing this... I confirm it works for me. It demonstrates there is a path to open the door

Thank you SOOO much for this in depth tutorial. Finally able now to not have to use Wondershare for simple document transfer.

Last night I was having a fiddle trying to cut out the middle man (device) and download straight from the pc using the tether.
Using Es explorer I can access my pc shared files and start downloading. However the transfer rate is abysmal an keeps dropping out. Clearly I won't be downloading null_21 this way...
Is this just a limitation of bluetooth transfer or is there something else wrong with the concept?
Thanks.

Same here.
I just select any file on my phone from an explorer window and select share by Bluetooth.
Then I just select the Gear to send it to and it is done. I do have Wondershare (paid version) installed in my tablet, but I never use it anymore.

I have s3 and gear, trying to do as described but in explorer under share Bluetooth there is no gear, it does show my car radio but not the gear.
If I go to phone settings Bluetooth it doe s have gear as well.
please help

One way only?
I followed the instructions and was able to browse my phone's files on the gear and transfer them to the gear, but it doesn't seem possible to browse the gear's files on the phone and pull them onto the phone. Am I doing something wrong?
When trying to connect on my phone, I get the message "Service not found. You cannot connect with target device because it lacks of the 'File Transfer Profile' (OBEX FTP) and/or the 'Object Push Profile' (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services. Make sure that the target device is in DISCOVERABLE mode and enabled to receive files!"

Is it possible to send an APK via bluetooth and install directly on the Galaxy Gear?

The same problem... also I see in Gear I can´t activate in setings>Bluetooth the visibility

Solution No:2
Hay guys.
So having a look at this tutorial and it does work well... My only problem with it is the app in hand.
I have used BTFT before and i hated it. so there is option 2 es file explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
1st Open the app in phone and tap on the icon in the top left corner (earth ball & phone) now scroll to network and choose bluetooth,
you will receive a message saying "OBEX FTP service starts" something like that.
2nd Do "EXACTLY" the same on the watch but now you will see your paired device, click on it and wait till it has loaded.
so now you are browsing your paired device.
3rd Mark wat you want and copy it to your on board gear storage. And done
If i helped please say thanks..

Great
Fantastic method I'd never have thought to try that however
how do you do this when your watch is running tizen?

You can not do this if the watch is on tizen...

What the files are supported for transfer? I knew music and photos were OK. I am suggesting another powerful solution here called MobileTrans. It supports various file types and nearly all the Android phones. You can easily transfer files between Android and iPhone. Most importantly, you control it on a computer with a simple graphics user interface. However, you need to pay for a few bucks.

works like a charm.

In such situation, the only thing that you can do is downloaded and install an effective transfer software on your computer , after then , you need to connect your android to the computer after start operation, it can aollow you to access the phone device as well as you can preview and select the data what you want to transfer , this means that is you already backup the data on the computer in more fast way to do , even if you mistakely deleted the phone data , it empower you to recover the deleted data from original backup on the computer,
