Connecting HTC One to Mac - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hi,
When I connect my HTC One to my Macbook Air, it says I have to use the HTC Sync Manager to transfer files. This sync manager sucks. I just want to drag and drop files (i.e. music) like a mountable drive but it won't show up as a mountable drive on my Mac. Is there a way around this? I know that it works on Windows but how can you do it on Mac? Thanks.

I am all Mac, iMac & Macbook Pro. You do have to use HTC Sync Manager, however it is drag and drop once its up. Plug your phone in and it will mount. Open a Finder window and you can drag between the two.

Android devices generally require you download the Android File Transfer tool for Macs. It's not quite the same as a Finder window, but it does support drag and drop. OS X doesn't support the MTP file transfer protocol, hence the need for this tool. Since the One uses MTP to connect to Windows devices, it should work on OS X as well. I can check in a bit.
Yep, transfer tool works fine.

Thanks a lot! That totally did the trick! I was like "Why is this so strange??" You're awesome :good:
I was using Airdroid and tried out a month - it's cool but it only has 1 gb a month limit and you have to pay so this is way better (and cheaper)!

No problem, please leave a "thanks" vote if it helped. Nothing beats Airdroid for on the go use, but it's really better as an SMS management tool than as a file transfer tool.

ShootMe App is the best one, shoots without your Computer on Android phone videos with 10 Frames per second! Needs a rooted device and there you go!
I am using Nexus S. Its not able to identify my device. How do i resolve

yes, i searched. how network my n1 thru wifi router to computer?

i can't seem to figure out how to allow my n1 to wirelessly access my computer's files through my wireless router, using w7 64bit. i left my usb cable at home, and bluetooth would work through ubuntu, but i can't get w7 to pair at all, even using bluetooth file transfer apk. ideally, i don't want to use that anyway, because bt is slow as mud, comparatively speaking.
re: wifi
i've enabled file sharing on the home network. searching for devices doesn't give up the nexus at all. i have no idea how to add it :/
re: bt
i've enabled and started all bluetooth services. it can't even pair with my phone, for some reason. both are discoverable, both see each other, but won't pair. :/
i wish that there was a stickied thread about this. doing forum search with titles only doesn't pan out anything. doing google search only leads to non-helpful sites for the first 50 or so.
this seems like it should just be basic stuff. tell my computer to look, tell my phone to look, they see and go. but, neither wants to, they're both being stingy little stuck up bastards, lol
any help would be appreciated.
Sorry to say, but you're all wrong about it being a piece of cake.
Don't know about bluetooth, but sharing files over networks is far from easy. When did you last try it between different OS?
Let's start with this: Android is Linux (more or less), and it doesn't share files with Windows networks without extra SW. Windows find network computers using NETBIOS and shares using Samba. Linux uses mostly FTP.
So:
To access Windows shares from phone , you need Samba client. Use ES Explorer, for example.
To access phone from Windows, use FTP server. SwiFTP, for example.
To use Windows sharing on Android, wait until Jimmychingala updates his Samba server to work on Nexus, I'm testing it. NetBIOS works already, shares not quite yet.

you rock, sir. i will investigate. thank you very much
I'll throw in some more info:
There is no default Bluetooth file transfer support AFAIK. But there are 3rd party apps to do it, for example Bluetooth file transfer, or the aforementioned ES Explorer.
I would try dropbox for android. Its free and simple to use. 123 you're sharing files between multiple computers and your phone

yeah, i tried bluetooth file transfer. works fine in ubuntu, i can't even pair in w7. which is weird, because i had the exact opposite problem a few months ago when i was running stock ROM. i could sync to w7, without using the app even, but not to ubuntu.
dunno. i just hate having to drag that stupid cable back and forth from work.
and, dropbox is a good idea, but i don't want all of my business in the cloud. i have enough of it up there, lol
install filezilla server (or whatever you prefer) on win7 and connect via andFTP.
Make sure you configure the win7 firewall to accept incoming ftp connections.
If you find that hard use zonealarm free firewall instead of the default.

[Q] Htc Hd7 as a USB drive.... Now What?

I managed to follow the instructions found at knowyourcell.com about turning your HD7 into a USB drive... It will open and read as a drive, but I can't transfer or read anything... Help would be appreciated. I am a noob so please take it easy on me.... What now? How can I open it up?
Instructions:
1. Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
3. Perform a search for ZuneDriver
1. The search should yield a result similar to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF
4. Click up one level to the Device Parameters key
5. Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
6. Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
7. Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1
8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport
Thats what i saw in my Explorer.
Tried to cpy a mp3 file into Music, that did not work.
After a restart of hd7 i came only to the level Storage - no sub folders are visable any more now.
And even with my first attempt i had now folder for movies. May be as i do not have any movie in devices storage?
Now everything works fine.
It did'nt work, as there was a filtransfer by zune on his way to the phone. And even killing zune on pc blocked the storage card.
-So edit the registry as mentioned above
-connect your hd7 via usb to pc
-zune starts now
-kill all zune transfer processes
-kill zune
-go to your windows explorer
-you can copy and past media files now.
unfortunaly the office hub is not visable by this procedure.
But i think we are not far away do find out in very near future.
nice! thanks for this. it works.
Sweet!! Got it to work!! Thanks for the help HUMS... Now what? Is there any way to mod up a Ringtone folder? I tried putting in a WMA ringtone and added the folder but no dice... Any suggestions?
great. it works... thanx!

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated with my HTC HD7. I installed Zune, but it wouldn't recognize my phone (it keeps saying "connect device") and I changed the registry as mentioned above also but whenever I plug the phone in, nothing happens and it changed all the registry values back to what it was before. Also the computer keeps failing to install the phone. Anyone with any helpful info help please? thanks.
-on a side note, i'm running windows vista

have you checked your USB cable or your USB port on PC?

Yes I have; I have 6 USB ports and tried all of them. My wife's iphone and my HTC HD2 connects perfectly to the computer. When I plug in the HD7 however, it takes a charge, and windows will try to install it, then says "installation failed" and thats it. I wonder if its problem with vista, with everyone that is successful at connecting their devices, anyone on vista?

OK. Lets split it to two issues:
1. you want to copy media files (Music, video, photos) to and from your phone
Use mouse and drag and drop what you want to sync with your phone. Its so simple.
2. you want to copy any other types of files to and from your phone
Its pointless, because files will NOT be vissible to WP7 and if you want to move files from A to B, than use what is more appropriate and designed for this purpose, like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive#Uses

I wanted to try this method because zune was in no way connecting to my hd7. I found the problem though. its my operating system. i plugged it into my laptop running windows 7 and it connected perfectly.
Did the required registry edits but unable to view any folders inside the Storage device on the computer, both computer & zune detects the phone though. Need to transfer a .cab file for installation of Satguide.
Would be great, except for the fact that wp7 doesn't use .cab files, only .xap files.

[Q] Htc hd 7 bluetooth

Hi! When i want to send file from other phone to my htc hd7, i see message "not supported". How do i repair this?
The easy answer is to take a seat and pray that M$ come up with the goods. In other words you cant send anything over BT at this moment in time.
With WP7, the only way to transfer files is via Zune, SkyDrive or email em to your device. That's the reason why they disabled access to the storage card. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I'm used to it now.

definetley not recommended. Easy way to screw up your sd card. WP7 does not have a file system as such, therefore transferring files can only be done via Zune and now in mango trough SkyDrive or email always. Read this answer from Microsoft: "WP 7 doesn't support any profiles that would allow you to transfer files via BT, so there is no point in trying to connect to a laptop. Your option is e-mailing a file to yourself.
In Mango you will have the option of saving the file to Skydrive via WiFi or Cell Data. Stil not directly to a laptop however.
Notice there is no file system, so no explorer that you could get to the file and say 'send via BT', no option within an open document menu that says 'send via BT'. There is no BT transfer directory, and if you could attach via BT the file explorer on your PC would not be able to navigate to a file to download, because, again, there is no visible file directory structure."
