I currently have a T-mobile dash and unfortunately the screen got cracked earlier today. The problem I am faced with is I am receiving text messages which I need to order to coordinate my graduate research at college but I am, obviously, unable to read them from the phone. Is there any application that I can download that will allow me to at least view the messages on my computer? I have been looking around for one but it seems many require you to download an application on the phone and seeing as I can make heads or tails of anything on the screen that's rather impossible at the moment. Any help is appreciated!
True connect:
True Connect is an exciting new way to control your Windows Mobile device when its plugged in! Simply drag your mouse off the side of your monitor, and it appears on your phone. Now you can click on the menus, controls and applications in an intuitive, natural way. It even works for non-touch screen devices! Of course, you can also use the PC keyboard to type, copy and paste information.
Can't see your device screen without holding it up? No problem - just use On-Screen Connect to show your device screen on your PC. It slides in when you need it, tucking neatly out of the way when you don't.
New to version 3.0 is SMS Text Messages in Microsoft Outlook. Read, send, forward and manage your text messages just like your email.
Download True Connect, and try it free for 14 days. You'll see for yourself how easy it can be to do your phone calls, text messages, applications and just about everything else on your mobile.
I personally used this to retrieve texts for a friend of mine who also broke his screen.. worked perfectly.
I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than navigate using true connect. Wait... realized you have to have outlook installed.
it seems like it's a pay version of My Mobile
The coolest version i think is mDesktop it even has an Excalibur on the site as the phone they use! You can view and copy the texts. it even has a "copy chat" with the options "plain text" and "formatted HTML"
the only other thing i think i would want to be able to do is use my computer headphones and mic to talk on the phone.

I'm not the OP but i had the same problem and a lot of ones i tried required being able to see the screen to install the cab/execute the program. this worked perfect for me since my screen was completely broken. Thanks for the link!
Is there any software I can use on Windows PC that use Active Sync to send the sms using my mobile. So I type the SMS on my PC but it go out trhough my HTC HD... Any idea?
I cant see why youd want to do that as messages are only 160 characters each so you wouldnt save time or anything...
but no, there is no such app.

Hi Zeshan,
please attached file
Br
Actually you can try Jeyo Mobile Companion. I use it myself and it seems to work well.
Hope it helps...
You can also try something that was posted in these very forums not long ago - PocketSMS. Not only can you do that but it synchronises your contacts and the like also.
Give it a search :thumbup:
try efficasoft
zeshan77, i fully recommend efficasoft as sep recommended. I use it every day, very nice and simple. Has an outlook type interface. And dont listen to ask, u can type ur texts a LOT quicker on a computer keyboard than u can with the touch screen.
thanks guys, ofcourse while working on computers all day, it obviously feel more easy to type the sms on pc and send using your mobile network operator. I will try the softwares recommended over here. Thanks alot.

Your obviously wrong about both of your answers: There are such apps (as listed by others before me) and ofcourse it makes sense to send them via PC if you have your phone docked - not to mention the increased typing speed on a real keyboard.
@zeshan: I use MyMobiler to access my HD and send SMS'. It allows you to completely control your HD from your PC. Check it out here: http://www.mymobiler.com/

Thanks sep910, mib1800 and bigmaz, I tried efficasoft and it works great. I will try other application mentioned..
MAMeingast, great application you have told us here
Old topic, but i need to make it work for me now.
I have Windows 7 x64, and none of the programs is working correctly.
- efficasoft install the cab but then the windows client gives me a timeout error.
- PocketSMS after installing the cab starts giving random errors about arithmatic overflows etc..
- smssender 0.1 doesn't work
- i don't want mymobiler to see the mobile screen to write the sms, i want a normal windows program that connects to the mobile
are there new solutions??

hey i Just managed to get it working on my W7 x64 PC.
efficasoft - try it with Windows Vista Compatiblity mode and run it as admin.
works like a charm. ( establish active sync connection before that)
works via bluetooth too

I am trying, but it doesn't work, it installs the client cab on the mobile (Step 1/4) but then blocks on "Initializing Mobile Express Connector (2/4)" by saying Timed out connecting to device.
i am running as administrator, and vista compatibility mode...
- Does it matter if i have too many sms's on the device?
- Does it matter what is the ActiveSync configured to synchronize with the device? i have all services disabled, i connect it with active sync only to copy files on the device, no outlook, no nothing....
I have the same issue.
I have over 12 thousands sms in my inbox, and it's time to archive them and empty my device.
Efficasoft works here, connects to device, starts downloading sms (when doing i see a number next to inbox or draft folder showing unread messages), but since i have too much sms it needs more time than the software gives, and then it says timeout.
It's not a timeout, is just it should wait more, but it doesn't.
Somebody have a solution?
I am using version 1.55.
In my ROM (ENERGY 16FEB and above) there is a problem when using MS messaging. the SMS won't send and only wait in the outbox.
will these apps (like efficasoft) will work with the Manila SMS?
just got this phone
very complicated for me so for
but anyways i had a mytouch 3g before this
just wondering if i have to change plans or anything to have 3g working on my touch pro 2, because as of right now when i go to the browser tab it says web2go...
so what am i supposed to do ?
also is it possible to sync contacts from gmail? if so how
and is there a landscape full qwerty keyboard?
and is there a t9 keypad as well? i know you can install them, i had one on my mytouch 3g but just wondering if theres any out for this phone
also ive had an xperia x1 before , i always had issues connecting to wifi with that phone, this one seems to be having problems
it says connected but i cant browse the web
the wifi seems to be turning off by itself?
ill stay connected for like 3 seconds then it goes off...
You don't have to change anything to get 3g working.
There is a landscape full qwerty keyboard, click the keyboard icon when in landscape mode.
There is t9 for the virtual and physical keyboard. you can turn it on in settings.
What error do you get when browsing the web. The wifi turns off by default if the phone goes into sleep mode.

Amazingly easy using Google Sync, and extremely useful. You can also sync your Google Calendar and Gmail.

There's a couple posts in the forum about forcing edge instead of 3G. Just do a search in general and/or software and tweaks.
I use a program called NoHTCdatadriver that allows you to toggle the data state of your phone.
In the meantime, while you're figuring out the best tweak for you, I'd suggest you just turn off your data in the communication settings until you need data. You'd actually notice battery savings then.
Hi all,
Im surprised that there is no proper pc desktop sync program for the HTC android devices.
Im used to backing up everything on my pc such as with Nokia Pc Suite (which is still better than ovi suite in my opinion). Im presuming Samsung, Blackberry all have similar software suites which back up contacts, sms, mms, photos, etc etc.
For legal reasons I need to have backups of my sms messages.
Ive tried using Android Manager (by Mobile Action), but it seems to be very buggy and simple. Also the android manager apk seems to 'hijack' the phone, and not allow selection of disk drive etc.
The only other desktop sync suite I have seen is by Mark/Space, but they dont even have a demo to download to try first!!!
Are there any other programs out there that back up with a viewable GUI that allows you to browse the backed up sms etc
I dont want to backup to a cloud. I need the actual hard copies backed up to the pc for legal reasons. Even better if sms messages could be saved individually in non-editable format.
This is my only gripe with android so far!
Have you tried HTC Sync for Android.
It's available on their website.

htc sync definitely works for me! never had any problems.

I require a software suite with a GUI so that I can browse through txt messages etc. With HTC sync you cannot view anything....it just backs it up
Have you tired this application?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574677
I use to use it with my HTC Hero and haven't got round to trying it on my HTC desire, but this allowed you see texts and write texts via you PC, but you don't do it via USB you do it via WIFI.
Hope this helps and I'll quickly see if it works on mine so I'm not sending you on a goose chase. :
*Update* The applications works, and it also allows you to change the settings on the phone and look at photos you have taken as well as change contact details. ^_^ Going to start using it more now I know it works on the HTC Desire . Hope this helps

Great! will try this 2nyt when I get home. If only HTC put some effort into a desktop suite, not just some crappy backup/sync application.
Thx!
No problem, Yeah I agree that HTC should add some of these features into their software and keep their older phone up-to-date rather than creating new phone, but hey that's common sense I suppose haha.
Hey guys,
I have SGS2, and I wonder if there is some application that will show me notification when I receive sms on my computer, and I should be able to reply to it from computer too ? I tried "Remote Notifier for Android" from market, and at first glance it looks really nice, but sms notifications doesnt work, and I cant reply to sms via computer aswell. Is there some other app which can do this ?
NOTE: I dont want web-service based apps, that require me to have service started on my phone and to connect through browser from my computer, I want standalone app that communicates with phone through wireless, just like Remote Notifier.
try MightyText.
not sure if it is out of beta yet but it does works. you just need to log in to your gmail account.

Confirming LuffyPSP.
MightyText works!

cool. glad it working out for ya.
Both of this apps require me to stay logged in browser in order to see notification when I receive sms

True. I guess it is because of the fact you can't 'push' that data to a pc. I believe there's an app needed (like the plugin for the MightyText app) to 'convert' that data to make it 'recognizable' (the data between pc and phone).
Notifications can't be pushed. Only the data itself.
So i believe, what you are looking for, doesn't exist (yet).
Can someone confirm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i think yes, it does not exist yet. but many people satisfied with how MightyText works if you follow from the first Beta release. i think many people actually find this type is already convenient so far, instead of how you asked. maybe not yet. you can try PM the dev and state your suggestion/opinion maybe.
Remote Notifier for Android does the exact thing I need, except its stopped developing and some features dont work. I searched yesterday alot to find some similar app, but no success.
@LuffyPSP
I already discussed with one of colleagues, and will start developing it in next few days.
I think MyPhoneExplorer might be able to do what you ask. You might wanna give it a try!
Maybe it can, but MPE requries phone to be connected with USB
