What app do people use to to text from their compute? I've been using MightText which is great when it works, but it often has syncing problems.

try AirDroid
it s so stable :good:
Actually Airdroid seems glitchy too. It some time doesn't connect, even though the phone and computer are both connected to the internet.

I've been using AIRDROID for quite some time now, and I never had issues with its connection. Actually I think it's a well developed app, stable and fast. Maybe you're experiencing issues with your wi-fi connection...
I use the hangouts extension for Chrome. It works for me no problems. Cause I'm logged into Chrome all the time anyway and use Hangouts on my Z2 (I use a dual booting MBP with Retina Os 10.10 and Win7 also iMac desktop dual booting). So try Hangouts for Chrome if you use Chrome on your phone and have a google account:good:
Some PPL use - BlueStacks
This is a Android Tablet Emulator with Notifications for the Desktop.

Actually it seems to have had a bug if both computer and phone are on same LAN, but they fixed it now http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/airdroid/logging-website-fails-to-connect-t2889745
It still sometimes fails to connect and fails to send messages, even in the updated version.
Didn't notice the bug. Thanks for the info.
Try using WeLine. its quite new but its great!

I must say, after trying Airdroid for a few months it's a good idea but severely unusable due to it's bugs. It's so unreliable and unstable it can't even connect half the time.

That's not my experience at all, it's not really actively being developed but it performs what it advertises just fine for me.

Well for the past few weeks, if I try to update my status via the facebook App, I get the message:

The only way to get "around" this is to log out, and log back in. But having to do that each time is beginning to get on my wick.
Any fix for this chums?
microsoft swears they are working on it.
Just another reason I use android daily now on my hd2. Facebook on windows mobile really is only available via the internet explorer or opera, twitter seems to work quite well though

Just tested mine and it seems to be working here? Takes a while to update the status but definitely working.
The problems which I have been facing were as follows:
1. With the "previous" version (1.48.405.2?) of the official ROM, though I had checked the box "store password" I would have to re-enter username and pwd everytime I went to facebook via Sense shortcut. Very annoying
2. Lately, since the update to 3.14.405.2 I also can't update the status, the only status update I got was "Hobo2009 installed Facebook for Windows Phone"
I am looking for an app that will work for video conferencing/chat. Any suggestions?
Or even better, is there a way to use the gTab and video-chat with friends on other traditional PC-based IM services like Yahoo, Live, AIM or Skype?
If none of these work? What do you use the camera for?
I really have not found a use for it yet.
FYI, I am using Calkulin ROM 1.1 (very stable and good battery life).
Yahoo Messanger for Android has a plugin for video/audio, but the people that i wanted to test with are never available when i was.

The only thing I use the camera on the gTab for is to read barcodes and/or QR Codes for Market apps so I can fire off downloads/installs of apps directly on the gTab.

My pictures don't come out nearly as decently as this one. They look okay in the shapshot preview, but then when I open the file they are pixelated beyond belief and look awful. I am running CM7. What settings do you have for your camera?
Thanks for any help you can give.
I really haven't found a use for it. It surely doesn't work well enough to take pictures with.

Not quite. Sync SMS uploads incoming texts from your phone to DropBox and then your tablet downloads them and displays them. When sending messages the tablet uploads them to DropBox and your phone downloads them to send out.
With TexTab, there is no uploading over the internet to a remote location as everything is shared between the devices via bluetooth. This is much faster and uses far letter battery than Sync SMS.
I have tried out both applications and I would most definitely vouch for TexTab, especially because of the support/communication the developer provides and the features he is working on.
Hmm OK. But textab connects through blue tooth surely that will use more battery than sending and receiving a file from dropbox? Also is it quite delayed doing it like that? I'm currently trying textab light. Its a pain having to stay near the phone due to Bluetooth distance

Constant data transfer uses more battery than bluetooth I think. Most people have their phones on them anyway, so it works quite well. The developer is almost ready to start beta testing an update which adds wifi functionality so that may be more appropriate for your needs.

you would be mistaken. bluetooth is always on and using the battery. downloading 160 bytes from the internet is very quick.
@piam
You will have to make your own decision based on your own requirements.
SyncSMS suits me better because I can leave my phone anyplace I want to and still be able to text from my tab.
@dolphinking:
feature request: how about syncing missed call notifications from phone to the tablet?
tablet talk is a great app, works via wifi or bluetooth
I am an avid user of SyncSMS and HIGHLY Recommend. It is one of the few paid apps I do have and it works excellent. Exciting new features coming. This app is worth the money and will only get better with time.
SyncSMS allows sync no matter how close or far apart the 2 devices are, TexTab does not work unless within bluetooth range. Personally, if I am bluetooth close enough to my phone, I will just use it to text.
I use my tab, with SyncSMS when away from phone, or while phone on charge in another location.
+1 SYNCSMS!

Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?
Regards,
F

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

Hmm, very strange. I use the one I mentioned on my tablet. but i connect my phone to the VNC server so i can pause videos when the tablet is plugged into the TV.
I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?
Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.

Samsung sync does work well, but it is not lightweight. Has anyone been able to get a VNC server working on the S5? I have tried a bunch of apps with no luck.

Hi guys,
I really hope you guys can find a solution for this. The Computer Share feature under Huawei Share stopped working ever since I updated to EMUI 10.1, I also formatted my phone after the update.
After this, my PC refuses to connect to the device. I even googled for the solution but there aren't any. I even cleared the credentials but still it fails to connect.

They just confirmed that is working ONLY with Huawei laptops (not all models!)! Shame! There are tons off apps which can do this. This is a rush to implement their own ecosystem, I guess, but without notifying users!

Yes. Previous attempt was while I had Google Play Services on my Mate 30 Pro which after 6-7 days stopped working. Then I've reset the phone back to stock and Huawei Share works great. I don't know if the GPS are the reason, but it's the single explanation.
