Hey guys,
Just joined the whole android crowd, and for my first device why not the biggest phone they could load Android onto the Note II. I have been really happy with the device so far, well minus the fact the keyboard doesnt auto correct, and some other minor things. I like using AirDroid when I'm at home, but while I'm at work my PC is on a completely separate wired LAN system and not WIFI, is there a app out there that would allow me to send SMS from my PC through the phone similar to Airdroid without being on the same network? It doesn't have to be wireless, I can do USB, or my PC has bluetooth as well.
Thanks in advance, J

I've an old Samsung phone (S8000, a.k.a. Jet), that is surprisingly easy to tether to my computer via Bluetooth (acting as a mobile modem). Just create a connection, pair, and connect.
I'm trying to do the same with my 2.3.5 Defy. That is, connect to the internet via the Jet using bluethooth. Problem is, I don't really know how to make the actual connection. Pairing works fine, but as for dialing - I've no clue.
Any ideas how it can be achieved? The Samsung Jet is a pretty dumb phone, so I think it's really down to make the Android to mimic a computer. I tried both Google (including this forum) and the Market, with no avail...

Hi, I am wondering if it were possible for somebody on here to write an app or pc program that turns my phone into a bluetooth dongle via usb? Because I have a bluetooth headset that I want to use on my pc but I can't use it because I don't have a bluetooth dongle. Now instead of going out and buying a bluetooth dongle, I figured since I have an android phone that it would somehow be possible to use my phone as a bluetooth adapter/dongle that my pc can use? I'm using windows 7 amd 64-bit, and a sprint galaxy nexus. (please move to appropriate forum, idk how i got in the galaxy note ii forum i thought i was in sprint galaxy nexus forum)

never seen such a thing. would be cool. i recommend just going and buying a dongle. they are super super cheap anyway. so very little harm will be done with that money.
I don't know if it can and never seen a project like this, but I think you better off buying the USB-Bluetooth adapter. It's extremely cheap now a day. And you gotta ask yourself, is it very worth it to wait? Even if it exist, it wouldn't be as capable as the real one, and then you have to worry about some other stuff what happen when the phone ring, does the phone have the head set or the PC? Seriously, go buy the adapter unless you want to scratch your own itch.
thanks for the feedback. I got a bluetooth adapter recently but it says my headset has no device drivers to install so it doesn't work for me :/ Idk how to make it work
ah, i had that on win7. doesn't come with a2dp drivers. you need your own (laptops tend to come with the manufacturers own) like blue soleil or some such

Hey man. So, actually making your phone into a bluetooth dongle is a lil' bit nasty due to permission issues. BUT, there is another way. As you are willing to use this "measure" to stream your PC's audio to your bluetooth headset, you can download an audio streaming app from the appstore (such as SoundWire for Android), set up the connection between your PC and your smartphone, and THEN you share your phone's media through the phone's bluetooth service to the headset. Maybe there can be a loss of syncronization for games and videos, but music will be just fine! Hope it helps

Hmm. Well, things like USB WiFi dongles and USB bluetooth dongles do exist, so USB had nothing against wifi or bluetooth. And those dongles work just fine even when connected through a USB hub. And as you say, your device has both WiFi and bluetooth. So, the simplest possible solution would be to have the PC view the phone as a USB hub, and the phones WiFi and bluetooth can be shown as USB dongles connected through this "hub". Infact, with that option, it should be possible to share lots of things between the PC and phone. You could share NFC, or even a fingerprint scanner, if you have them. Internet is obvious, because we already have USB tethering for that. I believe we also have apps that let us use the smart phone camera as a webcam? That too can be covered in this. Heck, even a GPS for the PC. (Or laptop?) Anyway, I am not much for coding and such, so if someone finds a way to implement it, please let me know? (If this becomes an app, then send me a free link, perhaps?)
Hi people,
I'm searching a way to remotely control my Nitro HD (running under Cyanogen 10.0)

Airdroid is pretty cool. It can be connected either over WiFi or remotely over the internet. If you connect to your device via the internet though, you only have about 1GB worth of data transfer per month... Can send/receive text messages on your computer and transfer files to and from the device. It's not the same GUI as the device.
LG OSP is a neat idea, as well. Don't remember if it can connect via WiFi, but I know it supports USB connection. Basically, you get your phone's GUI and functionality on your desktop. I don't think this can be used in anything but official LG software.
After the porting of Bluetooth in Mobile Phones, data transferring has become really easy; just turn on the Bluetooth, Pair with other device and share the data while doing other stuff. You can even connect a Headset to listen to music using Bluetooth and in these hours of technology, Bluetooth is even available in all of the devices and with fast transferring speed too. However, when it comes to an Apple device, simply an iPhone, things are a lot more different.
Apple devices have Bluetooth ported in them, but it can only be used for connecting Bluetooth devices, not for ‘Transferring data’. So, if you have an Android device and you want to transfer data to an iPhone, you can’t just except to transfer data using Bluetooth. However, Wi-Fi can be used to do such a thing, all you need is to download an Application and start transferring.

How To Transfer Media Between Android and iPhone
Open App stores on both the devices, and Downlaod Photo Sync.
Android version is free with Ads, while on iOS you need to pay $2.99.
Make Sure both the devices are connected to the same Network.
Open the app and Select the Photos and Videos.
Once you have selected them all, Tap the Red Sync Button on the Top.
After that Choose the Transfer mode, in this case it is Phone/Tablet.
The app will then search for the nearby devices with Photo Sync installed on them.
Now all that left is to tap the device to which you want to share with and Transfer the files.
If by any chance App does not search for devices automatically, you can configure the IP manually.
The Files will be transfered via Wi-Fi connectivity, hence noticeably faster than Bluetooth.

bump is an easier way to transfer
Maybe ShareIT is the best.
I'm using SHAREIt and it works very fine with me
Also I have another app name Software Data Cable and I'm using this one to transfer from & TO PC efficiently
You can also use Picxer. It works similar to a messenger but sends the pictures in full quality. And they are automatically saved in gallery. Works well for me

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a software which will allow me to connect any android phone to a Windows laptop or a PC and then use the Windows device as a phone - to make & receive calls and to send/review/reply to messages.
This is already implemented in a lot of vehicles when you pair the phone and then call/answer through the car's UI. I'm looking for the same thing but using a Windows device (laptop, PC - with Bluetooth) like the car in the example.
Can you advise me about such a software?
Thanks!
Solution found!
I found a solution for Samsung devices and it's called SideSync. It's a Samsung app for the phone and a pc version with Windows and Mac support. It allows you to do everything on the PC which is great.
Since I recently switched from HOX to Galaxy S6 Active it works great for me. Don't know about other phones thought. It may be restricted to Samsung devices only? You can try and advise if it works for you.
