How is everyone syncing files to their archos. Most sync programs don't seem to support MPT. I've got over 100GB of mp3s in directories that I need to regularly sync. I tried puresync, but it just crashes. Is there any boot mode to directly access the internal storage instead of MPT mode?

First time do copy/paste...with ICS now we can do so without conversions messages preventing it. That was not the case on Honeycomb and I had to go thru the USB port mounting and a middle man...
Second start doing synching since it's slow.

Hi there,
I am looking for some Android Sync softwares which can syncronize data between PC and Android cell phones wirelessly.
Is there any good one?
Suggestions:
Short answer: "it depends".
For music I have used isyncr, which syncs to iTunes. isyncr lives on your SD card & will bring in playlists. Look in the market. There is a Wi-Fi add-on that you can also get from the market.
Of course, Dropbox & Box.net can sync folders through the 'net. I think Box.net is finally going to ship their app soon. Dropbox is available now in the market.
I know you want wireless, but using a wire and "Sync Toy" (a Microsoft product, believe it or not) can sync quickly. You can set it to sync any folder(s) on your computer with folder(s) on your SD card. I use it to sync pictures, docs, etc. It works fast so you'd only be attached for a bit. You can set multiple sync plans, which makes it a quick & easy way to keep a current backup of your SD card as well.
Hello guys, one of my friends has a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I am helping him to set up the phone to his needs. He used to have a bulletproof HTC Touch Pro, but since he switched to Android I feel that everytime we try to do something really simple and straight-forward we fail miserably or we spend so much time doing research and trying to find a solution, that we eventually give up in the end and think that our ideas are either ridiculous or there is no application on the market that can meet our expectations. This time we try to do a simple picture syncronisation like it used to be on the old WinMo devices - between a folder, containing all pictures on a PC and the built-in gallery on the smartphone. When you add a picture to the folder on the PC it gets automatically synced to the handheld and when you take a picture with the phone it gets copied to the folder on the computer. In the same way when you delete a picture on the phone it gets deleted on the PC and vice versa. All pictures on both devices must be available when there is no internet connection. We already tried the following solutions:
- Google Drive - pictures that are in the Drive are not listed in the phone's gallery, but in the GDrive app, which is inconvinient, as there is no preview and you must always be connected to internet to view all pics. Besides all that, even being connected with Wi-Fi it takes ages to load a picture properly. You can easily mark a picture to be accessible offline, but try doing that to 22GB of photos. We could not find a way to mark all photos automatically as available offline on adding. There is no two way sync between the gallery and Google Drive - when you delete a picture from the gallery it does not get deleted from the Drive and the other way around.
- Picasa - we tried to use it in addition to the Drive, but it gets even more compicated and laggy.
- Dropbox - there is no two way sync between the gallery on the phone and Dropbox gallery.
- SkyDrive - same here.
Are we missing something or these applications do not offer the features that we are looking for? Can you please recommend a product that does this job as it used to be done in the old days - fast and simple? I am very pleased with Microsoft Live Mesh which I am using to sync my documents folders between my PC, notebook and SkyDrive - it does all of the above brilliantly right up to the moment when you add an Android phone to the mix.
Thank you in advice for your responses!

On every "page" of my CONTACTS list, I have not only Contacts name, but their phone numbers, e-mail addresses, home addresses AND their photos.
How can I save ALL this info to my computer? I may need this info if my phone gets totally formatted again.
I used to use KIES to connect my pone to my home computer. But since I an now using Windows 8, it only enables me to see pictures, media only, not my phone or external CD card. To do this I now use the built-in USB Storage function to connect and see both phone AND SD card's folder (which I can then save to my computer's hard disk).
Which folder contains ALL the info of my contacts AND their photo link?

Export to sdcard. This will create a svc or cvs, something like that, file. That's enough i think

Hi there
I have been using the app FolderSync to sync all the files from my phone's internal storage to Google Drive on a daily basis just in case if I lose my phone, there will still be a copy of my files in the cloud which I can retrieve. However, I am not comfortable with leaving my files unprotected in the cloud.
I have done a fair bit of research but have not been able to find an app that can automatically encrypt all the files before syncing with my Google Drive. Apps like Boxcryptor require me to manually upload the files for it to encrypt my files but does not offer any kind of automatic syncing like FolderSync does.
It does not seem possible for me to link Boxcryptor with FolderSync to get the desired result of having my files encrypted then automatically synced with a folder in my cloud storage.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue and found a solution? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
i have two processes that keep crashing regularly and have quite frankly, wrecked my experience with the phone.
if i didn't know better i would say it is result of me uninstalling bloatware using titanium backup and accidently uninstalling important stuff
that or xposed framework causing some troubles.
First off,
i seem to have broken MTP mode on my xperia z2. whenever i connect device in MTP mode, PC does not detect it, Both explorer.exe and PC companion fail to detect my device, and the device itself shows this notification.
Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped

So far, MTP mode seems to be only casualty of this process crashing constantly.
Second,
My sync services seem to have stopped working too. i can't sync my google calender. rest of accounts and even rest of google features sync perfectly.
whenever i try to sync calendar, it gives another notification -
"Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since, i have autosync on, and it tries to sync again and again, i keep getting this notification again and again.
i have tried everything that i could find on google. my last resort seems to be repairing phone with help of Sony PC companion.
please help me avoid such a situtaion.
Also, if say situation in unavoidable, do i lose all my apps when i repair phone? PC companion says personal data such as contacts, messages, bookmarks, settings, calendar events and files such as video, photos in internal storage will be deleted. It makes no mention about apps at all.
since i have huge apps (NFS most wanted, Injustice:gods among us), i'd hate to download them again...
Secondly, Do i lose root access upon repairing phone?
Thirdly, will my bootloader still remain unlocked?
