Hello
I am trying to sync Itunes with my Xperia S. I am trying to use itunes agent as i have on all previous phones but when i try to select the folder on the phone to copy to (music folder) i cant.. its grayed out..... i believe this may be due to needing to change the usb connection mode but i cannot do this on the phone...... Any idea?

I use notpod, its excellent
Search the Google Play store for "itunes" and you'll get tons of results, like the excellent DoubleTwist...
I installed "Sony PC Companion" from the phone and after that I updated the components including "Media Go" and with that I added my iTunes library from my PC to my phone.
With Media Go you can also connect other Android phones/tablets and upload music, movies and podcasts.
I tested it with my LG O2x.

Yup, Sony gave you the software already.
I'm surprised how many people complain without actually trying stuff.
I mean, if I had NOT installed PC companion, the first thing I would do is search the android market for "itunes" or google "how to sync itunes with android".
I know about double twist and I have installed the sony software already and of course I have looled elsewhere for help First.
But I still prefer itunes. The problem seems to be the phone wont let me change the usb connection mode so I cannot use itunes agent.
Does anyone know how to overcome this
Problem ?

@ James: I'm dealing with the same problem (I can not change the usb connection from mobile device to removable disk) and was wondering if you've fixed the problem in the mean time since your last post...

Ok i haven't been over at the Vibrant forums since i got the t-mobile tab and i have a question for all, since the Vibrant has the Media Hub i tried to install the app on my tab but it failed, so i went and set up an account to try something. So after the account was setup i rented a movie and i figured since i downloaded it it would be saved on my Vibrant i tried to look all over the phone for the file but can not find it. So my question is, is there a way to transfer movies downloaded Media Hub ifrom the Vibrant to the external sd card so i can the play it on the tab, or is there a way to install Media Hub on the tab?

ok i was able to download and install the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794310
but now it seems that it can not connect, i tried connecting while on running my tab wirelessly via tether through my vibrant and nothing, i have also tried it while running my tab on 3g only and still nothing, this is what i get:
There is no connection currently available. You need to be connected to the internet to view the Media Hub application for the first time. "Retry" "Cancel"
any suggestions?
EDIT: after an endless search i finally found my answer here" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909058&highlight=MediaHub.
installed and works great.

I am completely new to android and am getting my android phone on Sunday.
[1] I have visited the Webpage of Android market and tried installing sum free apps. It tells me to sign-in. When I sign-in I get the message “There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account.”
Now, how can I add a phone to this account? I tried in settings but no option to add a phone anywhere…
[2] Once, I sort the Login issue, I believe it directly sends App to phone. Now wht if I have to download App/games on my PC and transfer it to my mobile manually. I am saying this as I don’t have any data plan on my mobile and I prefer to download to PC 1st and later to mobile.
PS: I am an orkut user and hence I am using the username/pass of orkut. Do I need to create a new acc. For my phone?
when you get your phone it will prompt you to set up or sign in with a googlemail account. Once youve done this you will have a phone associated with that email. You can either then use the market on the phone or sign in with this email on the web based market. On the web based one when you click install it will automatically install on your phone.
Im not aware of anyway of downloading from official market to your pc to transfer manually. You can do this with some other programs, i.e some games companies let you download it to pc but to my knowledge thats not possible on the official market. I dont use the web based one a lot though so i may be wrong
i can use more replies !!
Okay, well you can't 'add' a phone to your account - you need to get the phone and enter your account details into the phone, then it will show up on the Android Marketplace website.
You're right in thinking it sends the apps straight to the phone, and I don't know of any way to download an app to your PC to transfer to the phone. However your phone will have a wi-fi feature, so just connect it to your local wifi hotspot and you can download the apps without having to pay data charges
I'm afraid I have no idea about the Orkut thing, though...

I agree with the other posters, just use wifi and you will be fine! If you dont have a wifi hotspot just go to a restaurant or mall that has free wifi and setup your phone there.
You will need a gmail account to activate the market on your phone.
Googles Android market does not provide a way for you to download apps to your PC. You can however copy them from the phone if you gain root access.

You can copy them out even without root access. Just use a file explorer like File Expert which lets you back up the apps to APK files.
Thx for the above replies
I have some new queries, if I change my phone/hard reset, whts the way to install all paid app without downloading again? – As the above member have suggested I have to take backup using something like “File Expert” ? Does it take backup on to PC ?
For any purchased app/games the developer provide update for how long? Where to see this info.
Rooting a phone can ever- delete Messages, Phone numbers, installed Apps ?
As Note is having Wifi-Direct, can i just use a "USB-Wifi dongle" on my PC and connect to my phone OR will i have to buy a router compulsary ? ( I intend to play big files more than 4GB and surf internet )
it's just a mega synchro...
If you synchro your google account, you have contact, mail, ... etc in distant server, so when you flash or reset data when you put again your google account it take all back automaticly.
You can use WiFi for shared files with your computer. It's better with a router but it's possible with dongle.
Just so you know, I found this out yesterday (of course to late to be able to recognize the song I was listening to).
I tried using TrackID but got some network connection error (although I had my data connection on), after some messing around it seemed that TrackID needs Play On Device to work (which I froze earlier), unfreezing this solved the problem.
I don't know it's usefull or just stupid of me, but maybe it helps others.
What is "Play On Device"?

To be honest, I didn't know myself what it does exactly.
What I found is that it "lets you share your phone content in your HDTV or Play station via wifi network." What it has to do with trackID I don't really know.
I only know that when I froze it using titanium backup, trackID stopped working ;-)
Downloaded Double Twist for Mac. Installed it successfully.
Goal is to transfer iTunes music to my DNA.
Then I plug in my phone to my Mac and see a prompt to download HTC SYNC.
Download appears complete and successful.
But....I cannot find the HTC Sync app installed on my phone. Anywhere.
Somehow I missed a step or setting on my phone?
Where is the download for HTC Sync app?
Any help would be much appreciated.

the HTC sync can either be downloaded from the HTC website or if you open up a file explorer on your computer, you should see a 'disc' for the htc sync app when you plug in your phone.

Yes.....it is there.
But after I download HTC sync to my phone from the HTC site.....it is not on the phone.
The download for some reason does not transfer to the phone.
I know that there is a very simple answer as to why I am not getting the download.
I'm so confused.... Just use Google music. 20,000 songs per Gmail account completely free.

Don't like to start a post and if I get an answer somewhere else just never follow up.
Somebody (non intuitive like myself) might be curious as to the answer.
After being here a bit I realize that this forum is not for the 'beginner'.
At any rate for anyone who might care about this query the simple answer is to forget Double Twist and Music Manager etc. etc. and just download an app called "Easy Phone Tunes" to both your android and Mac or PC.
The transfer is as easy as answering a phone call. Even for me.
As to the confusion to the above poster as to why not just go to Goggle Music Library and find 20,000 songs there?
Why would you do that when with on click you can transfer 1500 or any number of songs to your Android set from iTunes?
Am I going to start from the beginning and search for those 1500 plus songs in a new OS?

I have the i9300 with the Drive Link app from Samsung, it was working ok with 4.1.2 and I was using Sygic as Navigation app. Now with 4.3 and latest update of Drive Link, it's really ****ty, if I open the app without being connected to the car, I can select the navigation app that I want, but the moment I connect it to the car to use the mirrorlink, it changes and the options don't show anymore, and I can't use any app as if they were incompatible or if I didnt have any other installed. I've tried adding shortcuts,still no luck. Also with the contacts is happening, the moment I connect the phone to the car, all of them disappear from the Drive Link app. And also, before, I could connect the phone without opening drive link, but not anymore, is an automatic process, plug in the USB, and the app is started.
Any one has an idea of what to modify in the app? Or where to find an old version? ?
Thanks!
