I have seen few apps that are capable of doing this over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. But I am more interested in something that can do it over 3G. At work my desktop PC is not on a wireless network; there is Wi-Fi but on a spate subnet with no easy access to the main network. I do have Bluetooth / USB on my main desktop but I work from different PCs therefore its not very convenient for me to pair/connect it each time I go to a different PC. And I don’t use Wi-Fi at home either.
Then there are other benifits to using 3G like I can still access the phone even if I forget it somewhere (i.e at home in the car etc). The new HTC Sense services for HTC Desire HD will have remote access to SMS, call and location information , which is exactly what I'm after. But for now SMS alone is enough.
I came across one App called SMS2PC which can connect to a computer over 3G. But from what I gathered, with that the phone connects to the PC and pushes notifications, not the other way around. This is not going to work for me because at work I am behind a corporate firewall, so my phone cannot access the desktop.
Any other solutions ??
EDIT : i know SMS backup can backup text messages to google, but I can't reply from there. So that wont help much. And I'm not in US, therefore I dont have access to Google Voice service, so replying through that is not going to work either.
Is Google Voice avilable to you (specifically, you will need a Google Voice phone number)? If so, that will be my recommendation. In addition to free SMS and visual voice mail, you can use your Google Voice anywhere that you have access to a web browser. It doesn't have to be your phone.

No google voice is not available ( as mentioned in my last line , coz I knew some one would suggest that).
I wonder why no one has made such an app so far.
Maybe I'll have to write my own.. haven't done any android programing yet, guess its about the time.. waiting for a break from work to start playing around with it a bit...

I use smstools. It is in every major repo. However - from your non-technical wording - I assume that you use the gamerz OS (Windos). Worry not, you can easily compile the program yourself, or google for binaries.

Yes, I use Windows mostly . Thanks for that link, but I don't think thats quite what I want either. That seems to use the phone as a modem to send and receive SMSs; which means I'll have to connect the phone to a PC locally (i.e USB, IR, BT etc..).
I'm looking for a solution that allows me to connect to the phone remotely over the internet (phone online on 3G) to access and send messages. A setup where there is a PC client which polls the phone periodically for new messages and a server running on the phone allowing the PC client to gain access to its messaging service. So I don't have to connect/disconnect every time when changing PCs, it will also allow me to connect even when the phone is not with me (left behind at home / car ).
Ah, I got it now!
Well, of course you could compile SMSTOOLS for your phone
Or take a look at RemoteSMS or similar apps!
Also possible to remote control your handset via vnc-server. That one has far more possibilities than remote SMS-ing...

I’m coming from Windows development side, so pardon me for my ignorance on Linux dev. But from the little I know, you can't compile Unix/C code to Android, am I wrong ? At least not in a straightforward manner... You can only develop apps using their customized Java (Dalvic) , right
Even if its possible, I think developing an app from ground up is far more easier than trying to integrate smstools in to android. Besides, that doesn't solve my problem at all, because accessing the phone from the PC is the issue, and I don't see how running smstools on the phone is going to solve that.

RemoteSMS only works over Wi-Fi and BT, no 3G support .
I guess remote desktop is one solution, but I prefer a much simpler app. Besides VNC will not send me any notifications, I have to manually check. ..
Looks like I'll have to write my own app for this . Havent done any android development yet, looks like this is going to be my first project..

You don't need to be in the US to get a Google Voice account or use it for SMS. I am in Canada and use it for SMS all the time.
See this link. Note that despite the title this will work for any country.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Are SMSs free for international numbers as well ?
EDIT : I don't want to login through some unknown proxy server and give out my credentials. Besides, it is not a permanent solution. another dead end

Linux is a kernel, and Android is a Linux kernel based operating system. You can compile anything (that compiles for GNU/Linux for the given architecture) for Android/Linux as well. It will be native code however (as opposed to DALVIK, which is VM code). You have the option to cross-compile on your PC, or to compile code right on your phone. It is a command line affair... not some nice one-click task.
BTW I did not see in their own advert, that RemoteSMS would be limited to wifi... you sure? (Would be pretty weird move from them, since communicating over wifi and 3G is not really different from the programmer's point of view)
Found this today , posted on XDA : talkmyphone.
Exacly what I was looking for .
YAY!
Thank you! I have been looking for something like this because I am also behind a corporate firewall at work.
Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to tether the wifi based location data to the gear (running null) from a phone. I know it is possible to tether the GPS data (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47857358#post47857358), but this will require a lot of power on the phone. Wifi needs a lot less power and works for most purposes good enough in big city with a lot of wifi access points.

I am also interested with this,
thanks
Hi,
I am also interrested in having my location available on the gear without having to drain the battery using gps or have to start/stop the gps tether on both phone and gear when I need it. So having done some android development I tried to put together a small app that enables you to use three modes for location tethering, off, wifi/cell or gps. The wifi/cell updates every 5 minutes if the location has moved 100 meters or more. The setting can be changed on the phone or on the gear. I have tested it on my stock S4 and gear with null_13 so it may not work in other situations and as it is my first test I do not guarantee it will work in all situations or that it will not crash your devices.
The app must be installed on both phone and gear, it is signed with my debug certificate so you must enable app install from untrusted sources.
This is my first contribution to the community so I hope I have done it in the right way.
Regards
Martin

I was able to get it installed and was able to select connection method but neither worked in google maps to pull my location.
well done
works for me, get location now on Gear without GPS.... great for Google Now / Search / Weather etc
Thanks
I must have something else going on. I can't get the "old" manual way of Share GPS to work either. It used to work but now it doesn't. I know this is off topic but I'm having trouble with Autoremote BT as well. I'm working in another thread to get it working but since both don't seem to be working, they must be related to my BT connection but for the life of me I can't figure out what. Everything else seems to work great, I get notifications, the stock weather app updates correctly, and other items like mini gallery and pedometer work.
Feeling lost and confused.

Let see if we can help you getting my app to work by first looking at the app status. What does the title in my app say on the phone and on the gear (sorry to ask, you did install it on both right?) when you run it? If it says "Gear connected" and "Phone connected" BT communications work. If it says "Waiting for connection" there are problems opening the BT connection. If it says "Restarting" the connection has been made and then lost.

They both said connected and as I would make different selections it would change on the other device. But no actual location service on the gear (as mentioned, the previously working Sharegps app also isn't working but also shows connected).

Ok, good! Next check that I can think of is that mock locations is allowed in developer settings on the gear and Use GPS is checked i the phone settings.

Very Interesting. Installed and working!
Edit: NOT Working, Still has ShareGPS running. Once that was turned off Gear no longer gets location, Withing Maps it says "Waiting for location" when I try and get it. All other settings are correct.
Edit: A restart of both devices has fixed the issue. (But needed to wait for the app to update)
Would be nice if we could have it update our location at specific intervals.
New version of GearLocationBridge
Hi all!
I have been using my app for a week now and found some bugs that i fixed. I also added settings for network location update frequency. You can now set the intervall for updates from one second to one hour and the minimum distance moved for updates to occur from none to 1000 meters. Updates are sent to the gear if both criteria are fulfilled. Be aware that network location might not be available everywhere, so if you don't get a location on the gear when using network location that is the most probable reason.

Note that you must allow mock locations on the gear as described in the turtorial for option one in the first steps of setup. Also, this is beta software and I take no responsibility if it messes up your device. All source code is on Github if you are interrested in how it works.

Great job bud, you should get your hands stuck into a tasker plugin !
Thank you fOmey, good idea to make it a Tasker plugin. I took a google crash course on how to make a plugin so there is a new version on github that should work with Tasker. I haven't used Tasker myself so I have only done some simple testing creating a task and triggering it.

Hi
My phone lumia 930 so windows 8.1
I have seen on US market is Putty, unfortunately cannot download it because stay in uk
I tried to change region for US in phone but doesn't work
Anyone have idea how to install apps from other country app store or know working ssh client which will connect with my qnap nas server?
There's lots of WP SSH clients. I haven't tested them all on 8.1, but they should work. Have you considered just checking the store for "ssh"?
The one I use is called "The SSH Client". The free version works quite well, although there's a paid version with more features.
Yeah, there is few of them and some working but in lan only.
If I'm trying get connected from outside my lan will revive only : This port is not supported by ssh.
Port is properly redirected but different as standard.
Any way it shouldn't be a problem I have putty on my windows rt and connecting without any problems.

Well if you're familiar with SSH then you must of heard about PUTTY , so i'm happy to inform you that there is a working WP8 version of PUTTY, for now it's in closed beta, but you can be part of it, just be sure to drop the developer an email( the default MS account on the device ) for beta access at [email protected]
Can confirm eventhou it's still in beta it's working like a charm.
PROOF : PUTTY
Any decent SSH client, including the one I recommended, supports custom ports... but hey, that PuTTY looks pretty good too!

Hi...great to see some input from the dev., I'm an system admin and rely heavily on your app. so thank you for bringing this awesome tool to WP.
Also maybe it's time to make the app public, as I don't have any problems with it, so general everyone should be fine with it.
Many thanks again.

Yup, there are a few things that need sorting out. For some people it occasionally crashes when they connect and it's related to loading the sound files used for the system beep and the keyboard clicks. I've not been able to get to the bottom of that yet but the next minor update has some improved crash reporting which should help.
There is also a few people experiencing some problems whilst tunnelling.
I can't reproduce either of this bugs though in the emulator or any of my phones. Once they're sorted though I should be taking it public

Neither of those affected me, maybe poor net signal is the culprit of tunnelling errors.
Can I really view internal system files using SHSH client on WP? I own Lumia 920.
No, you would need an SSH *server* for that. I don't have one of those (although it should be possible to write or port one), but an FTP / Telnet server is pretty easy.
Alternatively, you can use the Webserver app in my signature.
Note that in either case, this will let you browse only small parts of the file system (the Windows directory and the application's own directories). The AllCapabilities version of the webserver has more access (it can see other apps, your documents and media folders, OEM folders, and the entire SD card), but is still restricted. You need capability-unlock (usually means a Samsung phone) to install the AppCaps version of the app.
Yesterday i was riding on bike with endomondo and strava apps both running for about 3 hours and everything was ok.
But today, when i was riding only with endomondo app, something killed it after ~ 1 hour of tracking. It just died, and my training wasn't complete.
Both apps are protected in battery menu, battery mode is set on normal. I have about 1GB or more ram free. I do not use auto optimization
I heard about huawei problems with sports tracker apps, but come on, on new flagship phone?...
Any solution to this problem?
my model is european one, eva-l09 with stock rom b136
If you are rooted try freezing "power genie". Worked for me with another app that I had issues with, which relies on background process (gmd gesture control).
And/or try making it a system app.
I do not have root yet, didn't want to woid my warranty unless i knew everything is ok with this phone
today my endomondo and strava apps were killed after 2 hours and 48 minutes of workout... this is so bull****
Just add it to the memory whitelist. All settings available via preinstalled Huawei Phone Manager app.
i've added them to memory whitelist and to the battery whitelist but unfortunatelly this doesn't work at all
Nothing? It's only me having this problem, or nobody uses sports apps? Today it died after 70 minutes of training. Old samsung galaxy ace 2 recorded training perfectly...
Anyone rooted could check if this problem is still present? After you add endomondo or strava to system apps folder?
For what its worth, I am having exactly the same issues with Endomondo. Did you manage to find a solution at all?

Me too, I am having the same issues with Endomondo. I don't want to get root but I've set the memory whitelist and the battery whitelist.
Sadly, I gave up and now I am using Sport Tracker that, since now, didn't stop event after 2 hours.
Hi, I've done everything said in this thread but the app strava closes after an hour of use..
Anyone have found how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Have you tried another app? Mapmyride seems to be ok for me apart from when the gps gets confused and I get the odd straight line, seems to be another feature of this phone

As in, try a third .sport app. to rule out an issue with the app.
Yes, install android 7.0 It is fixed there
I had / have the same issue, after a few hours it is seeying it as an battery drain app and it closes it. (Running the newest EMUI and Android 7.0) ... so still not great, also using Strava (in combination with relive.cc)
will try the memory thing though
Well first of all, if not every app behave like that, and not everyone have that problem, its obvious its not problem of model but your specific device and lack of optimization(bigger companies are actually more know of lacking that).
Next.
I used before endomondo, now I installed it again... and no problem at all. So again, I would say that its problem of specific device and your system configuration.
I would suggest checking AGAIN those options:
Settings->battery-> options(top-right corner) and disable option "turn off energy-intensive applications"
And then go to Application list in settings-> select settings(bottom gear icon)->Special access->Ignore Optimization and there select your app.
Hard to say anything else, because its impossible to reconstruct behave of your phone, and see what cause the problem. In this case everything matter, starting from apps you use to settings you have on your device.

Thnx, did the things you mentioned, will let you know next week
did not work
** UPDATE **
To be more specific, I'm not having issue with Android Device Manager, I'm having issue with the message "You don't have any devices" in Google Play Store.
I've looked it up in lots of places but seems like no one has a concrete answer.
Any further direction would be appreciated!

Hello,
I've installed all of the required apps to run Google Play store and have installed apps without issue. I'm having a couple of issues:
1) When I tap on Google Account Settings, it doesn't load anything, just closes the app
2) When I log in to Google Play on my browser, it says that I have no devices connected to the account, even thought I'm downloading apps just fine with that very same account in Google Play app. I'd like to remotely add and delete apps from my tablets as they are for the kids and I don't always have the tablets by my side to install / delete things.
Please help, thanks!

Sometimes takes a few days for everything to sync up on Google's end.

It's been like this since I got everything set up 3 weeks ago. It's never recognized that the tablet is associated to the account.

Another poster (perhaps a few) described a similar situation along with the steps taken to remediate. If I stumble across that I will repost here. As I recall it involved deleting and readding Google account(s) on the device side (reboot between) plus a tweak or two from the web version of Android Device Manager.

Problem appears to be widespread with no generic solution. See (one of many similar posts):

Might be something you just have to live with.

While there are quite a few you might want to start with AirDroid. Generally well regarded albeit sometimes a bit schizophrenic. You should be able to accomplish basic app/device management with the free version. Can also look at some of the more focused tools once you decide which features are most important.

Yes - did you look at AirDroid? Claims to have that capability. Also note there are various workarounds (eg: create a second account) for the original issue you reported. None work 100% which is why I didn't elaborate. You are going to have to do a little research to get what you want.

To be more specific, I'm not having issue with Android Device Manager, I'm having issue with the message "You don't have any devices" in Google Play Store.
I've looked it up in lots of places but haven't found anything concrete for solution. Is it because I'm using a Fire Tablet and it's not supported on Google Play?

Answered the last question in a previous post (below). As for remote install a tool like AirDroid can get the job done but you will need to get creative with the approach. In the end it may not be worth the effort, especially if the target devices are physically accessible albeit with a little inconvenience wrestling it away from the kid.
