Hi all,
First thread and did not see anyone with a similar problem like I have.
I have a black HTC One 32GB. I am coming to this phone after 6 years with the iPhone...so please be gentle.
What I really liked about the iPhone was how uncluttered the software was. Before coming to the One, I was with the S4 and I HATED it. Crappy software IMHO. But the HTC One is a fresh Android experience. Excellent software and I am glad Apple is not the only company we can go to when we need premium software and hardware.
But one thing really bugs me though. The HTC Sync Manager on the Mac. I plan to stick to the Mac for some time an this means I plan to stick to iTunes to manage my music. But I have found the HTC Sync Manager to be really crappy to sync music to my phone. It crashes frequently and before it does this...it runs through the CPU like crazy...continually uses 100 - 140% CPU sending my Macbook's fans into a tizzy. Does anyone have the same problem? Solution?
Note that I have tried the other so called sync programs on the Play store...iSyncr, Double Twist...all of them are absolute crap. Never could get them working consistently. I want to commit to using the HTC Sync Manager.
My GF used isyncr and it worked great on her sgs3.
She uses Htc sync on her mac and it also works flawlessly.
Try uninstalling it and installing the file the comes with the phone when you plug it in. Good luck.

Mine does not run so well either with my Macbook Pro. Tried using the HTC sync and also had that good old spinning wheel popping up
This worked a bit better..

I also couldn't get any of the software crap to work except for airdroid with doubletwist. Doubletwist is a crappy app but when you install airdroid in your phone and use the WiFi syncing it works great. Most android mac software is crap and it's a shame. It would be ideal to have a premium phone work with a premium computer

The phone is absolutely fantastic...but over the last two weeks...I am getting really frustrated trying to get music to sync on my phone...I have not tried Google music manager because i dont like my music on the cloud and i find it cumbersome to sync music in this way...God..there is always something is it not! :laugh:
Why sync it? It's just as easy to copy the files into the filesystem. Android isnt like iPhone, you can get into all your files on a computer.

I like to 'sync' playlists and not 'copy' songs...there is a subtle difference here I guess. That is the reason I much prefer a syncing solution.
Coming to photos, I have a set of folders (nested) containing all the pictures I would like to see on my phone. But the sync manager disregards all the nested pictures and throws them into one large, disorganised folder. Anybody know of a workaround ? How are the Mac users syncing picures o the One ?

Hey guys, didn't know if anyone has seen this yet but Winamp just released an app that's pretty nice. It even has a Lock Screen app and Wi-fi syncing to your pc. I think it is still considered beta but it seems pretty polished so far.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/winamp/com.nullsoft.winamp
Here's a blog with some good info and screenshots too:
Here
I installed it and works great except the wifi sync. I cannot get the Desktop Winamp beta to discover it. I am using the Winamp 5.59 beta which is required. But under devices, I click "Start Discovery" and absolutely nothing happens. Like it is not even trying to discover. And I do have WiFi sync enabled in the phone. Allshare works to connect to my PC so I know the connection can work.
Anyone else tried this with Captivate? Does it work for you? Any tips to make the Wifi sync work?
I got wifi sync to work but it has some serious issues regarding duplicating songs, etc

haven't tried the wifi sync but this music app is the shiz!! was using Doubletwist before..not anymore!
love the interface. able to create playlists with ease and the notification bar-like pulldown screen is genius
I can't see my music by Artist/Song with Winamp, but i can with Search option.. I've synced with Windows Media Player..

I would be happy just getting it to connect USB or WiFi but no go. Did you do anything special to get the connection to work?
For those with WiFi issues, are you sure you have the proper ports open in your firewall? (Just a guess, but that's typically the reason people have trouble connecting to their PC's on networked devices)
The app is quite nice so far, I like the lock screen widget and the launcher widget is nice as well, it has a good look to it and the style almost fits in perfectly with the Launcher Pro widgets.
So far, so good!
Copy to SD card
Anyone figured out how to set the Winamp default to copy music to the SD card? Right now it just dumps the files into the root directory. I checked the Winamp forums and some seemed to suggest there was a way to do this in the Winamp settings. I tried, but couldn't find the option the fix mentioned. I'm wondering if the whole sdcard/sd set up Samsung did on the Captivate will cause problems with Winamp finding the actual sd card?

Post there if you are having issues so the developers can see it.
One annoyance for me is the auto mounting feature present(mistakenly blamed dg's latest Cognition ROM because of it). I suppose it's a nice feature if one mainly sync music most of the time.

You can turn this feature off in the options (in fact if you look at the settings in Winamp, it's the first option)
I just want to be able to make a play-list on my computer then transfer all the songs PLUS the play-list to my phone. Is there any way to do this?

Hi, I have tried to install teamviewer (version 6.0.170) to my LG optimus 2X. When I launch it on my phone, it just gives me a black screen and I have to force close it. it used to work well on my old motorola milestone.
May I know which version of teamviewer do you use? Can you send me the apk?
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I use 2x client, with very good results.
Best Remote desktop tool!
Hey There,
Im working a Lot with Remote desktop programs!
Just because.. Its possible!! And there're getting better and faster!
Ive bought, PhoneMyPc a half year ago, which has I think the best way of navigating through your Pc.
Im using SplashTop which is the best for viewing streaming media (Video&Audio) on my phone. Which working unbelievable good!
Also using that one on my Asus Epad!
Its the fastest remote desktop tool I used!
Sometimes I use LogMein because that program really shows everything what is happening on your desktop screen. When your starting up a game.. Not intent to do that, PhonemyPc and Splashtop are giving a black screen, while logmein, is showing you the game. It slow, but it works.
Also Logmein is working almost Everywhere!! Through every proxy etc! While PhonemyPc and Spashtop having some trouble when your in a business environment or heavvy protected area.
We just have splashtop some more time! I think.
Thats why, when Ive to chose one. I'll go for Splashtop!
Greetzz..

ok as the title suggests.... anyone of you know of any apps similar to AirDroid? Ive tried using it and 8 out of 10 times i cannot seem to log in to the webclient to connect my phone....
Please note, im not looking for solutions to this problem here.... just alternative apps that does the same thing more or less....
thanks in advance
There's a app called browsix that I've used before, it doesn't have the nice interface AirDroid does but its has half the features of it. You can find it on the market.
Just thought I'd suggest it.
Tried that one but still can't get it to work properly maybe its something to do with my Wi-Fi.... using Wi-Fi file explorer for now tho..... seems to be ok
search button..... just do it.....
try file expert. it has a feature like tht.
bt nt as good as airdroid
Was abt to download that and give it a shot then I read further into the reviews and although it got good ratings, there were reports of spam and huge battery drain.... sigh... airdroid is still the best so far but for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong with me connecting to the website.... seriously anyone else using airdroid?
search button..... just do it.....
so u r trying to http://web.airdroid.com/ or locally?
ur firewall might block the port
for me, both local and website works fine
The website link is useless for me, the only times I got on it were on the 192.11 etc even that is not stable for me firewall is ok as using other almost similar apps manage to log me on easily
search button..... just do it.....
You might wanna try ES Explorer, since the last updates, it got the SD card sharing function, and with that became the best file manager for me.
i am using es, but does it let you control your phone and its contents from your computer?
Is it possible to transfer data with an FTP server like airdroid or something?
Or can I just access my phones data?

Try websharing app, it has good user interface
With lite version you can upload single file at a time, with full version you can upload bulk files, folder etc. Full version have some nice features.
With airdroid I also have sometimes auto disconnect problem

It does. Check the Remote Manage box in Settings > Remote Settings.
It has been 6 months I dont know if you found anything but I can reccomend a great app just like AirDroid.
It's called SnapPea and its truly awesome. Been using it for some time now and its really great.
Webkey
Not sure if this one has been mentioned but Webkey is astonishingly powerful. Needs root but can connect through various networks; I use it when airdroid won't work. The PC side is just a webpage. Address is http://webkey.cc and you get the app from the Market.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to share something I discovered.
Not sure if it has changed yet, but I was using Opera web browser a couple of months ago, and AirDroid does not work with that browser...just an FYI
Cool!
Airdroid 2.0 is awesome!
But the below two are very good as well!

Hi, my mom just got an HTC first, which is running stock android 4.1.2. Everything is working great, except that instant upload is not syncing back to her stock photo gallery. She has Google+ installed and instant upload turned on, and that is all working perfectly. She has a nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2 and the photos she takes on her phone are syncing to her tablet perfectly, but they are not syncing back to her phone. Everything in her Google account is set to sync. I have Force stopped/Cleared Data and cache in the gallery app, but nothing I do gets is to work. I even had her add my dads google account to her phone (set only to sync Google photos), hoping that would force something to work, but his photos are not syncing to her phone either. Please help. I just finally got her to get an android phone because of all the awesome features it has, (Instant upload/Gallery sync being one of them), and it stinks that one of the best features is not working.I know she can access the photos through Google+, but its so much more convenient to have them in your gallery. Thank you for your help...
Does anyone else have this issue? Got my wife the same phone, and the issue is the same. Even if you don't have a solution, please reply with a, "yes I have the issue", or "no, it works for me.” I'd appreciate it.

Same thing here. I just bought the HTC First primarily for the stock android, and now the gallery app doesn't work with Google Photos...
It's weird that it is definitely connected to Picasa, as it can upload pictures to albums.
New stock app fixes this issue
The updated 4.3 Gallery/Camera stock app which was just leaked fixes this issue. It will now properly sync with Google Photos and display all your albums. The camera app is also spiffier as a nice bonus! :good:

Could someone please upload the tv .apk?
Wanna see if it'll work on my s4... as the standard one on that is craaaaaaap compared to the one on htc!
Thanks!
Exactly the thing I was looking for. The S4 has a decent TV remote app, but it's lacking a few features. Even though it has a huge list of supposedly compatible TVs, the stored IR codes don't work with my listed TV (Sanyo). The HTC One on the other hand has a feature where u point the remote at the phone's IR sensor, and it finds the code for you. E.G it should work on every IR device.
I've looked everywhere for this, can't seem to find it. Also tried to backup the up on the HTC One, so I could just send the APK to my S4, but for some reason I can't backup (or even find) any system apps on the HTC One. I've tried ES File Explorer App manager, Helium, and a couple other generic ones off the market. On the S4, it lists all of the system apps, and I can backup pretty much anything, but the HTC One only lists downloaded apps.
Anyone have an idea how we'd be able to get the HTC One TV app APK?
EDIT: Found this in another post "d b.tt/FJ8mmSH1" [Delete the space inbetween d and b] (All the HTC One system apps apparently), but I have no idea what the TV app is called. And I can't figure it out because the TV app doesn't appear in any task managers/backup apps on the HTC One.
EDIT 2: Found it; d b.tt/GyNejZy0 [delete the space again] But it won't let me install it on the S4, just says "App not installed", and that's it. Anyone know how to force it to install?
I have just had a look through my system apps and cant seem to find TV. Maybe it is part of sense?

Same issue. We'll probably just have to wait for either Samsung to update their TV app, or for 3rd party ones to start popping up on the Play Store.
it wont be as simple as copying the apk over i think because of it needing some sense framework files
You need 3 apks for the TV app. 1 for the IR, 1 for the User interface and the other one for the channels. I have uploaded them here.
By the way just wanna ask does the S4 TV app require you to connect to the internet before you'll be able to use it?
I'm looking for an offline TV app.
It won't let u open it the first time without an internet connection, but after the first time you open the app and choose your region, area etc. it will let you open the app without internet (and use the remote function at least), but it keeps giving you the "you need the internet....." warning.
Just tried that .zip file, same thing as before, won't let me install any of the APKs. Probably just a compatibility thing.
I was told the HTC TV app is made by Peel. Search on Play Store for Peel Remote. It MAY have the exact same features. Actually some people are using it on the One instead of the stock app

Looks like it is, and so is the GS4 app (Samsung WatchON). The thing is though, the actual Peel app itself is only made for Galaxy Tabs, and I can't download it from the play store, also can't find an APK anywhere.

I could literally make no sense of your post lol.
It's pretty stupid how both the GS4 and HTC1 apps are made by Peel, but the GS4 one is lacking some important features

So does this mean you do not have to have a ROM running Sence to get the IR working with this App?
I tried the 3 apk files with the GE ROM on my HTC One, didn't work. None of them will install.
The Peel app in Google Play only does TV listings, it does not do the IR blaster part like the TV app on the HTC One.
I'd really like to have the TV app working with the GE ROM. I know Google is working on an IR blaster, but I don't know whether it will be as nice as the HTC TV app.
You can push the apps in System/App with the appropriate write accesses to force the install but after reboot the app fails to start correctly
HTC 1- TV apk
First, i want to thnk u for providing the APk's for the HTC 1. i recently installed stock jelly bean on my HTC 1 and lost all of the sense apps
Secondly, when i try to install the apk, it keeps saying app not installed. Am i doing something wrong? Should i try installing through the recovery screen?

The APKs won't work unless you have HTC Sense. (And obviously if you had HTC Sense 5 you would not need the APKs because you could use one of many ROMs with HTC TV already baked in.)
For anyone without Sense, the only options are whatever came with your ROM or an IR Blaster app off Google Play.
