What is the best app for Note 9 to Windows 10 PC connectivity? MS Your Phone, AirDrd? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

What is the best app for Android to Windows 10 PC connectivity? MS Your Phone, AirDroid?
The features of Your Phone or AirDroid look fine but are there more robust ways to connect and work with my phone during the business day?
Are any of the TeamViewer products good at this?

Samsung Sidesync used to be good but the new version is very stripped down.
Have now switched to Dell Mobile Connect. Works very well, and has all features - notifications, mirroring, calling and texting, document drag and drop.

samsung flow works good between my S3 tab, SB2 and GN9. give that a try.

Dell mobile connect is great. Phone companion is great as well.

You could also have a look at vysor.. works over wifi aswell as wired
But pro version needed for all features

I'm looking for a good PC <-> Android Sharing app too (mostly for sharing link, text, files etc) . I used to use Pushbullet but ever since they went "Pro" the free version is useless.

Try Your Phone Connection by Microsoft if you have a Windows PC

Vysor seems really cool, especially if can do over wifi
Is it the best of that type (literally an emulator of your phone in a window)?

Android File Transfer?
Simple & reliable.....

WiFi File transfer Pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro&hl=pl easy to use and i have this for long time now.

I Found an app called "Join" (by Joaoapps the Tasker app developer). So far seems very good...

Can I make calls with Note 9 and Your phone on Windows 10 with bluetooth dongle?

My Phone Explorer is the best I've found

I have an Airdroid subscription, but lately I use Join.

I havent seen any better app than KDE connect/GSConnect

I started using File Manager by Mobile Clean System Lab. I feel like I get a lot of ads on it, but I just BACK out of those.
With it, there's an option to start a FTP server, which I do. Prior to this, you have to have your Wi-Fi turned on, and connected to the same network as your Windows 10 PC. Then, on your Windows 10 PC, you navigate to your phone's IP address (preceded with "ftp://") to view your phone's folders (i.e. ftp://192.168.1.23:2211, where 2211 is the default port number). I still haven't figured out how to navigate to the MicroSD Card, and I'm not sure there is a way without root. Basically, though, you would use Windows Explorer to navigate to this window, and then open up another instance of Windows Explorer to Copy To/From files.
Mind you, this solution works for me, from home. Not sure how it would function within a business environment, considering you'd have less control over port access/firewall settings.

This app will let you control your computer through via both 3g and wifi. The companion WONT work for win 7 home which is what i have. So i have a question: Anyone know a way to make it work for win 7 home or another app that will work the same way?

Which is $30, whereas this looks like it's free. I'm in the process of installing the free app on the market, and the free desktop companion as well.
OP, have you tried it? Most features that work on one work on the other, so might want to give it a go at least.
1. androidVNC on captivate
2. tightvnc on all home computers
3. all computers wake on lan
4. add a dash of dropbox and some dd-wrt lock down on the side
5. enjoy complete remote access and admin
Bonus: I like that VNC has dual monitor support. Both screens show on your device with "pinch and zoom" and touch scrolling capability.
What about going the other direction?
I'd like to control the Captivate from my Windows 7 PC x64 running a VNC viewer.
What apps are the best for that?
I can't get droidVNC to work. It always rejects the correct password.
I agree with agentdr8. LogMeIn is easily the best way to go. I'd love if TeamViewer made an android app though. It seem unfair that iOS gets all the loving.

I know it has. I switched over on release day and never looked back. Very polished for a beta app.

PocketCloud does not seem to function after only two successful logins (very cool when it worked). I don't know if it is a limited demo thing or it broke (can't find any mention of limitations . . . ).
I love TeamViewer (used it to help family with computer problems before) but I can't get it to run on my Dell Streak running Froyo (always comes up ForceClose).
Will have to try VNC and see how that works for me.

[Q] Captivate phone for IT

I'm in IT and plan on most likely getting a Captivate from work for my job. I will be using VPN to connect to my work network (ipsec) and then using a remote desktop app to support people remotly when I am not in front of a computer. (No WiFi at work)
I currently have an iPhone 4 as a personal phone, and I know that I can use the logmein app to connect to computers and use the phone at the same time. I'm assuming I can do this on the captivate also. I was hoping to get the fascinate for the flash, and the fact that Verizon works much better at one of my remote offices, but the fascinate will not be able to do voice + data at the same time right? Also from what I read it has less RAM available.
Does anyone else work in IT and use this phone? What are your experiences with it as far as helping you on the job?
1) ass-u-me : but, in this case, you're correct https://secure.logmein.com/welcome/...oid&campaign=us&destination=/welcome/android/
2) It is likely that the VZW will not be able to do both transmissions at once, based on network type, but since I don't have VZ, or access to a fascinate.. ICSFS
3) Does Verizon really work that much better (actual experience) or is it just what the bars on the phone say... don't trust the bar display as an accurate detail.

I can give you some incite in the IT category. I maintain multiple networks with the company I work for, and there are a handful of apps on the market place that act as an RDP connection for logging on to servers and whatnot with a FQDN (Which I'm sure would work with the IP, but haven't personally tried it). Of course, if you use listen/forward on certain ports, you can get into those as well. My company uses a program that utilizes an instance of VNC to manage the workstations. I haven't had the time to sit down and try to crack that one yet, but I'm sure it could be done somehow. Our company just made the switch over to Google Apps hosted email so I've never used Exchange with it, but I've heard it works just fine.
I'm thinking here........
Ah yes, we all use Outlook. Calendar invitations import right into Google calendar perfectly. Contacts/email can be synced using Samsung Kies, but only with the default TouchWiz launcher, which I do not prefer. Dropbox works perfectly, yay!
Off the top of my head that's all I can think of. If you have any questions regarding certain areas, please let me know, and I'll give you as much info as I have.
* Oh, and I can confirm, Verizon does not support Voice+Data at the same time. My buddy has a DROID X and he can't even get an email while on a call, much less have an RDP session going.
Here's my IT experience. I personally think the stock email has issues. Everything works fine except for 2 things:
1. Emails are not instant. I thought I had a bad phone, swapped it, and no improvement. With any other phone I had previously owned (iPhone 3g, HTC Fuze, Blackjack II), emails would always arrive at the same time or even before Outlook would get them. Now I get anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minute delay.
2. No NTLM support. Even with an iPhone I can connect to local wireless using Safari and use my domain authentication to access our intranet. I have yet to find a way to negotiate windows authentication on this android. I hear that mozilla is putting out a mobile browser (Fennec I believe) that may support it. Or hopefully 2.2 will add this functionality.
There are clients for RDP and even a couple for VNC. I installed one for VNC but never used it. I used WYSE RDP and love it.
Other than those 2 issues,i love it. I haven't tried setting up the VPN yet (pointless to me without NTLM), but that's all I'm missing.
I wish I had a tab or phone that I could install something like an admin tool pack on that would give me Active Directory tools on the go (besides the obvious RDP to a server). Maybe I'll have to wait for a windows phone 7 tablet........unless someone knows something I don't, I'd loved to hear some good news.

I am in IT as well and find this to be leaps and bounds better when coming from blackberry 9700
I use remote rdp and logmein ignition. I have direct push with exchange 2007 and the Gal is supported.
One complaint i have is with the email client. If you have rules setup to automatically sort mail without it being read, gl finding it on the phone. I had to turn all rules off and have everything delivered to the inbox.
Other then that i can pretty much do everything i think except dell drac console. But i hardly ever need to use those and if i did, i got bigger problems and should whip out the laptop.

I'll second what was said here, as a server admin, my phone is indispensable. I use VNC and RDP all the time, leave my home computer signed into VPN(it's a work provided laptop that has port 3389 forwarded) and just RDP into that, and then use it on my work domain. Or use the mobile AP functionality with a netbook running 7 Enterprise w/ VPN. No worrying about hotspot locations.
Exchange works great for me on it, no issues with active sync on E2k7. I do kind of wish we had an OCS 2007 R2 compliant messaging app for it. That's about all I could really use that isn't already available.

For me, ActiveSync to the Captivate is as fast as my BlackBerry 9700 using BES which is pretty darn fast! Now if only the email client worked with all my sub-folders and allowed me to move emails, etc., I'd be happy.
Search for issues with IMAP and Exchange accounts on the ANDROID platform. I've personally had my IMAP and Exchange email accounts disappear from my phone completely, 3 times in the last month.
This is a know issue across all the Android phones and a problem that is still present in Froyo, kinda disappointing that Google can't get their act together and fix this MAJOR issue.....
There are great email replacement apps out there that solve the problem. The best replacement in my opinion at least is K9. I wouldn't use the version in the Market as it's a few versions old but the latest releases can be found on the googlecode page.
Replacement Apps???
I never needed a replacement app on my BlackBerry or Iphone so I could receive email? That to me is just plain absurd and unacceptable.

Android is in its infancy. How many version of windows mobile where there before you got activesync direct push access? Did you have exchange support on the original iphone?
Clearly anyone with a brain can see that the android platform is the most open platform today and compared to all others is more like an actual computer then just a phone.
I came from a blackberry and I hate to admit that I was a fanboy for the last 5 years or so... But after going android, the blackberry is the biggest pos and I give RIM 2 years before they become PALM.
The fact that you can run a 3rd party app that can handle your email, your phone or your sms functionality is amazing. However hard developers try to make a one size fits all... it may work for majority, but not all.
I have had zero issue with android and exchange activesync. My accounts don't disappear. Maybe you should take a look at your environment and see what is going on behind the scenes on your mail server or probably at your crappy anti-spam filter. I got emails instantly on my captivate before i get them on my computer, just like my blackberry did.
Yeah, must be my filters causing the account settings to be wiped from my phone on multiple accounts instantaneously....
Come on dude?

Kinda hard to make progress on a platform when your preventing the corporate world from adopting due to serious issues with non Gmail accounts?
I'm a Sr. Sys admin and my experience using the captivate on the job has been great. By connecting to our wpa2 enterprise I've SSH'd into routers and switches using Better Terminal (BTEP SSH Client). It's great not having to drag a laptop and a rollover cable into a server room while working with a switch. I've used the WYSE's beta client which supports RDP, VNC and VM View. I'm also a big fan of Astro file manager which has an add-on for connecting to SMB shares. We've also setup a Rove Mobile Admin server. it's an SSL encrypted publicly accessible server which utilizes an android app from which i can manage everything from BES, to SQL, to Exchange, to AD. Its an expensive license but very very well worth it. and while i do think the stock active sync client is usable i've found that TouchDown offers a much more advanced product complete with meeting invites and GAL support. Again, this is a great phone for for IT work!
Hmmm, I just wonder what is different about the heartbeat to Exchange with Android than it is with every other phone. I agree it could be some mysterious setting that needs adjusted on Exchange, but I'll probably worry about it after we upgrade from 03 to 07.
Doesn't matter......phone rocks.

Keepass or Splahid?

I have been using Keepass on my android phone for some time but would like to be able to sync it to my pc. However the pc version uses a different db and won't reed on my phone.
Anyone use Splashid? How is it and does it sync well from phone to desktop?

I use eWallet from iliumsoft.com - i have used it for almost 10 years. They now license per household and sync with everything:
I have it on my Desktop PC, my Mac, iPod Touch and android and it syncs with all of them and between all of them. The android "client" is read only; but I wouldn't switch even if it stays read only.
I don't work for these guys, but they are top notch developers. Small company that answers phone and emails, and provides a great product at a fair price.

Lack of SD Slot - Workaround

So, I've been drooling over the nice features of the Nexus 7: the high resolution IPS panel, the quad core processor, and so on. It looks like a wonderful platform and implementation (all manufacturing issues notwithstanding).
What had been holding me back is the lack of an SD card slot, which seemed like a dumb thing to leave off. Being limited to 8GB of storage, and having to use the "cloud" on the go seemed inconvenient, and could get expensive tethering through my cell phone.
Then, it dawned on me. Since I was tethering through my (rooted, thanks to hack-ace!) HTC Inspire 4G, I could just install a Samba server on the phone, and that would give me the ability to get at my SD cards from the Nexus.
Couple of questions - Samba seems like just one solution. I'd like to know if there are other file sharing solutions that would work over the WLAN. Particularly, I'm interested in either permanently mounting the samba share on the Nexus, or doing something else that makes access to the files on my phone as seamless as possible to the Nexus.
I'd love to hear some ideas from others who have done stuff like this.

I tether my Nexus 7 to my phone and use Google Drive and DropBox. Both are free. With DropBox if you invite your friends to use it and they sign up you get an extra 0.5 GB of space for each person.
I knew right away that I would get the 16gb version to hold more stuff on when traveling via plane. Also, there are many posts about this issue which is probably why you only have 2 responses.
People beat this topic to death. Return it and get a 16gb it's only $50. If you think $50 is too much divide the $50 by your starbucks coffee your packet of cigs, beer, and just cut back that many and you will have enough saved up.
Though not as fancy but... I installed Audiogalaxy on my PC and Tablet and can now access my 10,000+ song collection without having to take up space.
My goal will be to setup a small multimedia server at home with spare parts to stream movies and music.
Please keep us informed on your plans, sounds interesting.

The topic of directly accessing files on your phone from your n7 has been beaten to death?
This is probably only the second time I've seen it mentioned.
OP: Download an app called "on air" to your phone and you can access it via ftp. Only problem is you need to have a network to connect to. There might be other apps that allow an ad hoc connection though.
for me the 8 gb is enough i just use the tablet at home to read forums, news, etc... i am not a heave tablet user, i am just lazy to turn the computer on...
maybe for the heavy travel user, 8gb is just not enough..
internet? not problem... rooted 4g lte phone with unlimited dat..i just turn the hot spot on and problem solve...
i am happy with the tablet..
Found this on another site, could probably substitute the PC step and use AndFTP on your N7 to connect to your phone.
Prep
1. Root phone
2. Install Barnacle Wifi Tether app for Android to create ad-hoc wifi host. I believe it modifies an .ini file to allow for ad-hoc goodness and saves us the trouble of changing it via script or command line.
3. Install SSHDroid app for Android (or use the connection method dejour)
4. Install WinSCP or PuTTy or another connection client for Windows PC
Android Setup
5. Start up Barnacle WiFi Tether, allow SU / root access
6. Go to Settings, slide down to Clients sub-menu and check the box for Local Mode (this turns off your data connection - don't need it for what we are doing)
7. Hit your home key to leave Barnacle WiFi running in the background and to keep that scary a$$ orange cyclops squid in your notification area
8. Start up SSHDroid
9. Go to Options and uncheck Require WiFi, back out of menu one page
10. If SSHDroid service has stopped, bring up the menu again and click Start
PC Setup
11. In your WiFi connection service, connect to the ad-hoc network with the SSID 'barnacle'
12. Start WinSCP
13. In the Session box, under Host name, enter the IP address shown in SSHDroid. SSHDroid will show sftp://[email protected], just enter the part after the @ sign.
14. If you are prompted for a user name and password, the defaults are root and admin (recommend changing this, and using secure keys, but that's your call)
15. You'll see a windows explorer or (my preference) windows commander interface on your PC showing the contents of your Android.
Just use WiFi explorer. Same thing. WiFi tether your tablet to your phone, then pull up a browser. Super easy and just works.

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone.
I'm most interested in semi-permanently mounting the SD card in my phone via either samba or other protocol, so that the Nexus will just see it as local storage and all of the native apps will treat it as such. Once my Nexus (Nexii, now) show up, I will try a few things and follow up on this thread.
I am sure that once the Nexus is rooted there is a way to samba mount network shares easily.
Okay, so I have had almost 24 hours to play with my new 7, and have it rooted and unlocked and all that.
I'm able to stream media files from my phone or home server to the tablet, but have yet to figure out how to actually mount a samba filesystem on the tablet so that the native apps will catalog and index their contents, which is the ideal case. I don't want to use Play for my online stuff and another app for Samba served media. I just want to use the native apps for everything. The only way I see to do that is to actually mount the share on the filesystem.
Apparently the stock kernel does not support the CIFS filesystem, so I'll have to find a custom kernel or ROM to load.
Overall though I love the tablet so far
My plan once I get my 8GB tablet is to put music, videos, and additional app data (if possible) on a flash drive (that I'm hoping is compatible), and apps on the tablet itself.
You could try something like this

I'm running a Linux server at home that does 101 different things. I set it up to do two additional tasks recently.
1 - I installed Subsonic on my server and donated a few bucks (10-15 or so) to unlock the full mobile license. Since I already have DDNS running on my server, I just set up the Subsonic Android app to point to my specific URL. I can now stream all of my music just fine. Even with my mediocre DSL, it doesn't really give me any trouble.
2 - I installed ownCloud on my server. This basically gives you Dropbox... but on your own server. They have an app for it, but you have to go on ownCloud's web site for right now to download it. This essentially gives me my own personal cloud server, limited only by your server's hard drive space. I'm currently running a 500GB array, with about 300GB free.
300GB personal cloud? On my own server? I'll take it. This should be even more fun when I do a 6TB RAID 5 coming up... that'll make Dropbox's 2GB or 5GB or whatever they have look like peanuts. Of course, having your own server (if you don't have one already) costs money to put together, but I already had my server running as it also saves video surveillance feeds (via software known as "Motion" on Linux) from IP cameras on my property, and it also stores all of the backups for my other systems and my fiance's laptop as well. So for me in particular, installing some software on an existing box to achieve a ~300GB personal cloud/personal music streaming box was a total win. :good:

Er - that's a little difficult to say. The "server" in question is my old desktop I used as my main computer, so it didn't really cost me anything as I already had it sitting around. When I ran it as my primary desktop, I was running a simple Dell box as my server, which has a Pentium Dual Core of some sort with 2GB of RAM. It did the job fine and I had no complaints with it. When I built a new desktop, I hooked up the Dell box and my previous quad core desktop to a watt meter. I saw that my quad core desktop consumed quite a few less watts, so I figured for a 24/7/365 box I'd rather have that... not to mention it was more powerful than the Dell anyway, which is always welcome.
So now the quad core is my server, the newer one is my main desktop, and the Dell is a test system I use for various projects here and there. But to answer your question (as inaccurate as it may be by 2012 standards), the server ran me about $550 (custom build) back in 2008. For a music/personal cloud server, I'm not convinced you would need a mammoth box, but I also don't know the nitty gritty details of what Subsonic does in the background. I'd be a little uneasy about dropping an Intel Atom system in place to handle these tasks, but I don't think I'd be getting an 8 core AMD rig either.
My setup is similar, but just a shade different. I have a VMWare server running an IPCop VM that supports OpenVPN, the client of which works fine on the N7. Connecting into my home network from anywhere is pretty trivial. The SSHFS looks interesting, but is going to add another layer of encryption and overhead that may or may not be an issue, but in either case is unnecessary. The server runs in another VM and hosts 10TB of storage.
Anyway, my solution might end up being the native XBMC app they're working on, since it has a built-in samba browser. I installed the alpha and I can indeed access all my stuff over the cellular network and VPN. Once they get the bugs worked out, I think that's going to be the winner, because to me XBMC is a suitable substitute for the native apps.
As other people mentioned a local FTP server on your phone would be best or just use NFS (Linux's default network sharing protocol) if it's even supported by Android.

I need working ssh client

Hi
My phone lumia 930 so windows 8.1
I have seen on US market is Putty, unfortunately cannot download it because stay in uk
I tried to change region for US in phone but doesn't work
Anyone have idea how to install apps from other country app store or know working ssh client which will connect with my qnap nas server?
There's lots of WP SSH clients. I haven't tested them all on 8.1, but they should work. Have you considered just checking the store for "ssh"?
The one I use is called "The SSH Client". The free version works quite well, although there's a paid version with more features.
Yeah, there is few of them and some working but in lan only.
If I'm trying get connected from outside my lan will revive only : This port is not supported by ssh.
Port is properly redirected but different as standard.
Any way it shouldn't be a problem I have putty on my windows rt and connecting without any problems.

Well if you're familiar with SSH then you must of heard about PUTTY , so i'm happy to inform you that there is a working WP8 version of PUTTY, for now it's in closed beta, but you can be part of it, just be sure to drop the developer an email( the default MS account on the device ) for beta access at [email protected]
Can confirm eventhou it's still in beta it's working like a charm.
PROOF : PUTTY
Any decent SSH client, including the one I recommended, supports custom ports... but hey, that PuTTY looks pretty good too!

Well it's more than an ssh client, it supports also raw, telnet and rlogin connection types.

Indeed it is. I'm the developer behind the PuTTY port, glad to see it getting some love. Tunnelling is supported in the latest version but still has a few bugs to iron out and I am also working on support for serial over bluetooth too

Hi...great to see some input from the dev., I'm an system admin and rely heavily on your app. so thank you for bringing this awesome tool to WP.
Also maybe it's time to make the app public, as I don't have any problems with it, so general everyone should be fine with it.
Many thanks again.

Yup, there are a few things that need sorting out. For some people it occasionally crashes when they connect and it's related to loading the sound files used for the system beep and the keyboard clicks. I've not been able to get to the bottom of that yet but the next minor update has some improved crash reporting which should help.
There is also a few people experiencing some problems whilst tunnelling.
I can't reproduce either of this bugs though in the emulator or any of my phones. Once they're sorted though I should be taking it public

Neither of those affected me, maybe poor net signal is the culprit of tunnelling errors.
Can I really view internal system files using SHSH client on WP? I own Lumia 920.
No, you would need an SSH *server* for that. I don't have one of those (although it should be possible to write or port one), but an FTP / Telnet server is pretty easy.
Alternatively, you can use the Webserver app in my signature.
Note that in either case, this will let you browse only small parts of the file system (the Windows directory and the application's own directories). The AllCapabilities version of the webserver has more access (it can see other apps, your documents and media folders, OEM folders, and the entire SD card), but is still restricted. You need capability-unlock (usually means a Samsung phone) to install the AppCaps version of the app.
