Is there a software similar to the Nokia PC Suite that provides options to control / access the phone from the PC? I am used to the Sony Ericsson PC Suite with my earlier P1i and use the mRouter for accessing the internet. What i get from the HTC Sync is options to sync the data alone. Something similar to the PC Suite will be better!
Thanks

You could look at this and this. Haven't tried any of those, but hey, you could give it a shot
Just for info the second suggestion does not seem to work on Win 7, haven't tried the other yet.

Have you tried running it in compatabilitymode for vista/xp?
any ideas for sync / rom update in non-microsoft OS? what about ubuntu?
PC Suite
the first option (htc phone portal) works fine for my Hero. the phone is added with a web server. from the PC browser I am able to connect to the phone and access all my contacts, SD Card contents and to an extend configure the settings as well.
Thanks
I've been using this app to sync my Outlook contacts to my other Sony Ericsson phone and now finally Android is supported. Check the developer's website
Thanks for the post re this. I used to use this all the time with my old SE phones. Just installed and chucked the client on the phone and connecting over WiFi is simple and works perfectly. Not only that but it's the easiest way of wirelessly transferring files to the phone too - instead of having to use FTP or Bluetooth (which stopped working for receiving files after the update to .174 it seems)
I was a big fan and frequent user of MPE for my w810i.
With my X10 & X10 Mini Pro really misses that app.
Tried it today an it works like a charm.
Thanks for the heads up !!!
Still no version for Mac OS...
I hope that someday there will come a time when humanity will understand that Windows is complete nonsense.
Hey a Quick question - Is there a Win Mo app that works like iphones firefox home?
the firefox sync system is great to switch computers without losing which webpage you are viewing and the firefox home app sounds like a great way to bring that to mobile phones? If not then would one of the great devs on xda like to give it a try? the code for firefox sync is based on the old mozilla weave project - dont know if thats any help or not.
Thanks in Advance
you know that theres fennec ( firefox for wm& android ) i dont know if this one is able to fit you request ...
Get it here...
otherwise theres opera link... you just need to sign up
Fennec is buggy and is dead and i use opera mini on my phone for its speed (for some odd reason skyfire will not work on my phone dont know why) but firefox works best on my old (8+years) computer so thats where it stands - if i could pull down my open tabs somehow and just load them on my phone i would be happy
why dont you use opera for desktop...
and skyfire doesnt work anymore because they shutdown their servers for winmo app
Tried fennec anyway - crash crash crash
Tried opera on my pc - same (shame cuz i really liked the features )
Any way I can sync my pc firefox to my phone?
Maybe some way i can sync my history and bookmarks files to a website? (yes I know how to use google - but I could not find anything to do this) I am using firefox 3.6 on ubuntu 10.04.
Have you looked here these widgets work on PC and mobile for mobile you need widgets manager
http://widgets.opera.com/
Nothing there that does what i want to do- besides those are for opera and opera will not run on my pc.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on wp8 most likely a lumia 920. My question is does anyone know of remote desktop software? I was really dissapointed that wp7 did not have one that was as easy as teamviewer. I have emailed teamviewer with the usual reply " if something is developed we will let you know." I have tried all the remote apps onn my wp7 to log into my work pc and no success. I have to resort to teamviewer on my laptop or my tablet. Does anyone know any inside knowledge or is it due to fact that I had a wp7 rom on my hd2 that prevented the remote control apps to work?

I have tried pc remote but my works ip address is hidden. I need something that works like teamview where you just log in and connect. I may try pc remote again and see what i can tinker with
I'm looking for something as well. The RDP metro app on Windows RT is really neat, I don't know why they just don't have it on windows phone 8. The thing that is killing me is the lack of VPN. Even Windows RT has built-in VPN and it works great.
Hi guys
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right forum area, please pardon me if it isn't.
I'm coming from Symbian OS (Nokia) and using their NOKIA OVI SUITE/PC SUITE for YEARS and it's been terrific. obviously this is the end of the road for it since Nokia/MS is not giving their desktop software much attention.. now i've migrated to Android and I needed an alternative to Nokia PC Suite..
Yes i've googled and searched and found a lot of so called alternatives. but i wanted to save time instead of installing all these options and testing em for myself.. (and i have tested a few already)
What I need is something like Nokia PC Suite w/c are:
1) very good at phonebook and SMS management (Sedning/receiving)
2) can connect both via USB or WIRELESS (bluetooth preferred)
3) Has a real DESKTOP software, not limited due to being browser based (like a lot of the options out there)
4) NOT CLOUD-DEPENDENT .. offline capable
A lot of options i've tried such as AirDroid falls short of at least 1 of the above requirements ..the only Software i tried that came pretty close to what i really want is MoboRobo .. but it has some short comings like unable to send multi-part sms (the software splits it up) and it needs to scan QR everytime i want to connect wirelessly (not automatic/remembering the last connection)
So i'm continuing the hunt and hopefully some of ya'll more experienced android users can shorten the journey for me.
Thanks everyone..
hmm i guess im stuck w/ moborobo
