Hey, thanks for this great app.

I'm blasting texts on one of my contacts now using my laptop and my contact said on one of her replies that I am too fast to type for her comfort. Every 1 liner text she has. I get 3 or 6 sentences to her replies... (little she knows that I'm actually using my full laptop keyboard in doing all the text replies)... Makes me chuckle! :D haha.

Anyway, Great app OP!! I appreciate it a lot! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] VrOckerZ:
Awesome One Mate, Thanks :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] mdwbeex:
OK, just tested it on Win7 64

2nd of 3 work computers - worked like a champ.

I'm guessing the issue lies somewhere with Win8.

Maybe it just doesn't like Metro, or the missing start button... which is totally understandable. :cyclops:

EDIT - Just saw your response above, I'll double check the Win8 seat for the ADB drivers. Not sure why I didn't think of that... but in retrospect, they should be there. I've done other stuff via ADB on there. I'll investigate.
[Android Apps and Games] whitesox311:
Ignore me, issue was resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] GeekyScott:
I currently am using a 32-bit Windows 7 machine and I too have 4.0.4 stock ROM so this is not true. What is your issue? Does the desktop app not startup? no connectivity? etc... its often easier to diagnose an issue with some symtoms.
[Android Apps and Games] whitesox311:
Hrm, odd. The app itself doesn't recognize the device after it's plugged in via USB w/ debugging enabled. All drivers have been installed a while back.

Edit: Had to restart the phone and press force connect a couple times for some reason, working now! Cool app!
[Android Apps and Games] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for the release of the app to the XDA community GeekyScott, I have been using Desk Notifier for windows but I have started dual booting Windows and Ubuntu and Desk Notifier does not have a Linux option. I am going to try out your app with Windows later today but I want to try it with my Ubuntu. Now you can call me stupid if you like but i am new to Ubuntu so how do I install the desk top client in Ubuntu. I know it is through terminal commands but I just do not know them.

Also with the Desk Notifier I use with Windows it allows you to see incoming calls and answer incoming calls on your computer also, if this capability and MMS capability is integrated into y our app it would be really awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] tass0s:
Yes they're open. It won't connect.
[Android Apps and Games] celkin:
When I attempt to launch the desktop client I get an error message stating "java runtime environment not found". Which is weird as I defiantly have Java running on my PC am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] kgersen:
how do this compare to Mightytext.net which i'm currently using and looking for alternatives.

I don't get how you do the link between the phone and the Pc when using Cell data (3G or 4G) unless the PC have some public IP address with an opened port to talk with the phone. In that case it could be too complicated to set up and not as "plug-and-play" as Mightytext is.

does this app also handle voice calls ?
[Android Apps and Games] BombayBoy:
Thanks for the share. Will try & report. Watching the opening ceremony now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fishingmedic:
Thanks much for the app, worked great at first. Running on an XP machine, connected great, sent and received some texts without issue. Loaded it up on my sons phone and pc (same network) and kept getting error saying you are no longer connected to your device, please reconnect and try again (my phone was off). I did pair passcode with a different passcode and it still won't work. Doesn't work now on my machine either. USB does work for both, but not wirelessly. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] TheReaperIsComming:
Thanks a lot! The app works great with my Galaxy SIII and Win7 64bit!

Just one question: I tried to change notification sound and used a mp3 file and ther is no sound anymore (the standard sound works)!

Is ther any special audio format needed or only short sounds (because the file plays longer then standard):confused:
[Android Apps and Games] TheAvatar:
I had the same issue, just updated java and it worked fine.

Awesome app, been after something like this for ever since I had a similar app way back when I was on winmo :)
[Android Apps and Games] avenator14:
Thanks a ton! this works great! just have to warn OSX Mountain Lion users to disable GateKeeper to open
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixFx:
Are you using an external server to route the messages? At work I’m behind a corporate firewall, so I don’t have any control over the ports, and my phone is generally connected to internet over 3G. There is a wifi network, but that wifi network and the wired network my desktop PC is connected to are on two different domains that do not have access internally. Will this program work under a such environment? I’m guessing it won’t ?

Right now I use a different program that uses an external server, therefore it works over any network configuration (i.e Same network, different subdomains, different networks etc..) as long as both devices have access to internet. I like its flexibility but don’t like the fact it only supports a browser plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] InfDaMarvel:
I got it to work however I did not get it work over WiFi. I am a little confused on how this even works over WiFi. What happens when there are multiple android phones on the same network. What does is differentiate with.
[Android Apps and Games] suaji:
Same here.. huhu
[Android Apps and Games] Jackos:
That's why you need to enter this same passphase on both devices.
[Android Apps and Games] GeekyScott:
No there is no external server/software. It works directly with your phone. It may work if you have a decent 3G connection. You can try it now by getting your computer's IP address and entering that in the phone software. If you have a corporate firewall you will have to open the ports. Ideally in this situation, USB is your friend.

As Jackos said, the passcode is really used to pair with a certain device. Ideally there would be a list of known computers that you can select, I will try implementing this when I can.

Exactly!
[Android Apps and Games] Chevyguy85:
I can send msgs just fine and they show up on my phone as well. I do not however receive any incoming txts via my desktop. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] InfDaMarvel:
Cool, I like how to opted out of the regular browser based SMS to PC method. Ill bookmark this page, hopefully you can get it functional over Wifi.

Im on AOKP on the Epic 4g btw. Recommended ports opened.

I didn't try a static IP, so it may work that way.
[Android Apps and Games] reidzeibel:
Thanks for the app, the only problem I encountered was the "Inbox" option on PC shows Address book, (and this is already mentioned somewhere in the previous posts)

Works over Wi-fi (I'm using connectify, set the IP address to static)

Sent 20+ sms without errors

Havent got the time to test it further. So far the best PC-SMS client (Others I find on the market need to use Email)

Sent from my Galaxy W(ondering thoughts)
[Android Apps and Games] zeroktal:
rarely give support but...

I rarely give my support of an app. But this? This is just awesome. Damn fine work.

I do have a suggestion though. Thought about a pidgin plugin? I for one would pay well for this.
[Android Apps and Games] mark1s:
I am also fairly new to ubuntu and Linux in overall, a small guide of how to install the program would be welcomed!
[Android Apps and Games] Conkreet908:
A little Assistance Please

I am running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. I downloaded the "linux.zip" file and extracted it to my Home folder. The program seems to run but it cannot establish a connection with my phone. Android Debugging is enabled and my firewall is currently off.

"Could not find the requested USB files. Please ensure you have adb.exe or adb.sh are in the same folder as SMS2PC application".

Windows Client Install Trouble

Geek Laddie,

The windows client (windows.zip) downloaded from your site given in your post cannot be opened by 7z, WinZip, or WinRAR. All programs refuse to see the download as an archive. :confused:

Please assist.
[Android Apps and Games] A2Jay:
not exactly.. ever heard of MyPhoneExplorer? It's free. I've been using this program on Windows for ages, and it does everything this app promises too, so it's not exactly groundbreaking.. oh, and did I mention it's free?

great effort though, kudos to the developer! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] T-Macgnolia:
Yes MyPhoneExplorer does what this does but it does not support Linux.
[Android Apps and Games] cesar67:
'Up the bridges' lol

Works a treat straight out the box cheers gadgy!!

Actually, it was the 1st ;) I had it on the market when cupcake was around.
[Android Apps and Games] GeekyScott:
I will see what I can do!
[Android Apps and Games] knightnz:
It works beautifully on my Windows machine at work, but no dice getting it to work under OS X 10.8 at home. I've disabled gatekeeper but the app just dies instantly.

Checking the system log, it shows this error;

Jul 31 21:07:43 Dalek com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[290] ([0x0-0x97097].SMS2PC[983]): Job failed to exec(3) for weird reason: 13

Did a reinstall of Java, didn't help. Tried the same thing on a system that was a clean install (Hackintosh) and an upgraded-from-10.6 mac mini. Guessing Apple have "done something" to Java in 10.8.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] GeekyScott:
Hmm I will investigate tonight and get back to you. Hopefully just something minor.

Scott
[Android Apps and Games] jsuares:
technical details

Amazing app. I am just starting Android development - could you provide a quick technical overview of how this works? Also on the main XDA portal it was mentioned that you may be posting the source code.

Great Work
[Android Apps and Games] cesar67:
Scott, is there any plans for an android tablet compatible client?

That would be much more useful for me although the desktop app is very handy and works very well.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] jon.01:
I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to disable the error log.

The reason is that I put the shortcut into the startup folder, and when it loads the wireless isn't connected yet. So everytime the application is launched I get a notepad window named SMS2PCErrorLog.txt

Error listening for data from server.: null : Connection reset
Error listening for data from server.: null : Software caused connection abort: recv failed

[Android Apps and Games] captainreynolds:
Beautiful app on both sides. Running a Mac - is there any way you can get rid of the constant Dock icon? I know other apps like this can run with just the menu item in the top right.

Pasting this code into the app to make the Dock icon disappear:

<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>

into /sms2pc.app/contents/info.plist breaks the app's mac menu bar functionality, which is pretty important!

I'd be happy to buy, (as would everyone I know!) if clear development support exists for stuff like this.

Also, as you now have 15 posts, you should be able to put up links fyi.
[Android Apps and Games] plopingo:
Perfect APP great job, tried by wifi and USB no problem.

The only thing with I have trouble is for contacts with 2 or more numbers i can't select what number i want

Perhaps in a future update ? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Adee.roy:
you are the man....!!! the wifi auto connect works like charm.....!!! just loving it....!!! :D

Use Tablet Talk if you want that, it's super-versatile.
[Android Apps and Games] Whizzpopper:
I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to thank you for posting SMS2PC here. I appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] forrest89sei:
Awesome Job on the App!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] cesar67:
Thanks for the tip, That looks useful although, I like Scott's PC app and would rather have this app installed on both my PC and Tab.

I would have bought this from the store by now Scott, I'm looking for an all in one solution, I hope you have plans to develop an app for tablets ?
[Android Apps and Games] captainreynolds:
Does anyone know how to get the computer side connected when the computer is plugged into the LAN via an ethernet cable? I can't get the program to see my phone...

JK - but, I have to enter in my computer's local ip address. Any way around that?
[Android Apps and Games] crazililazn:
I can't get the desktop client to run. It keeps giving me the "Java Runtime Environment is not found" error, even though I have the latest version of Java installed.

Nvm, it installed a 32-bit version of Java and all is well. The desktop client is not compatible with 64-bit Java it seems.
[Android Apps and Games] snickersmd:
Found the problem in OS X Mountain Lion, and this probably applies to the Linux user above as well.

Turns out the binaries in the app bundles don't have executable bits set.

For the Mac app, that means SMS2PC.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub as well as SMS2PC.app/Contents/Resources/Java/adb.

For Linux, I haven't opened it but there should be an adb file in the same folder as the SMS2PC.jar.

I did a chmod 755 on all affected files and the application launches fine now.
[Android Apps and Games] Glebun:
Thanks for the app, it's exactly what I needed, so I bought it.

But is it possible to auto-kill the service once disconnected from WiFi? Would be logical to be able to do that, don't want it to drain my battery
[Android Apps and Games] ruimarto:
Thanks dude! Great app. I was using Tablet Talk, but SMS from my computer ends up being way more important.

Here's a couple of thoughts and questions about the app:

- Can you make it work through Bluetooth? Many laptops have BT these days and sometimes you're using a hotspot or no connection at all.

- Can you make Android2Android sync? This would replace Tablet Talk for me and keep it all neat and tidy in one app.

- Autostart ONLY when it connects to specific WiFi networks? Like my home or workplace wifi...

- Please keep alive the support for OS X! I've found other apps, but it's all windows, windows, windows or webapps that work poorly (sorry MightyText and AirDroid). The "Inbox" option is still going to the Address Book.

Oh... And I'm using the XDA free version, but I will undoubtedly buy your app. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] farizemo:
it will be nice if there's feature group.filter in address book. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Vuitres:
That's a great picture. Wow. Simply beautiful. Did you take this?
[Android Apps and Games] sdr4511:
Good work !!!

Thank U
[Android Apps and Games] The Smith:
Awesome app, I was using EasySMS before and I will never go back! Thanks a bunch for the linux support. :)

I am also interested in this. If we can get a bluetooth PAN to work between our laptop and our Android (I have tried the other day and I have not succeeded, but some people have been able from what I read.), then I believe it would just be a matter of entering the right IP address.
[Android Apps and Games] eMJaaay:
Thanks Scotty! It wasn't working earlier, kept telling me that it couldn't connect to the internet .. but once I selected wake lock, it started to work :D I'm on OSX, Snow Leopard.

But the only thing, and I think you know of this bug, is that selecting Inbox just shows my Address Book.

While I don't use this app myself, I want to compliment Dev for being generous and sharing with the community for free. I hope people that like it and use it often will buy it from you mate.
[Android Apps and Games] The Smith:
Hey, when I text a lot with the app, there is a popup appearing on the phone saying:

And then I have to click on "Allow" each and every time I want to send another SMS. How do I go at preventing this popup from appearing?
[Android Apps and Games] elliot.newnham:
Great app! Thanks for linux support as well!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mackovich:
Hello there.

I was planing to buy your app until I could not make it work.

I own a Samsung Galaxy III rooted with CM 10.1 and a lapto with WIndows 8.

Both applications are installed without errors nor warning.

I'd like to use the USB feature, but I fail to make it work.

Both application are launched with their default settings and I obviously activated the USB debugging by default on my phone.

Once I click on connect from my PC, it fail to find the phone.

Could you help me ?

Many thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Poision:
I love this application... i was waiting for long time ....

i was tired to send sms from websitess... i just love it.

but i have only problem with go.sms :( it is not compatible with go sms.... can you make it compatible with go.sms notification???
[Android Apps and Games] Whizzpopper:
I was just wondering if this app is still being developed. I contacted the dev a few weeks ago and haven't heard back. No complaints about that - we only have so many hours in a day! - but there doesn't seem to be much happening on the development end of things.
[Android Apps and Games] dsreid:
Not working on Jelly Bean

I have this same problem, seems to be Jelly Bean related, I had the Nexus 4 and it would not connect via USB either, and now HTC One S, it worked fine till latest CM10 Android 4.2.2 and not it will not connect via USB either. This is a great app, hope it gets recognized to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Ice-Bak:
Same thing for me. Till I'm on JB rom, there's no way to connect phone via USB.

I really miss this wonderfull application ! :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] zenesis:
REQUEST! and THANKS!

I've used this on GB, ICS, and JB with different versions. this is damn good. really. I don't have any issues with it because those issues you are reporting can be fixed by reinstalling it on PC or uncheck then check on your device,

LASTLY to Geeky Scott Straughan this is app is great but I wanna give you a request to build another app and program that displays android battery icon on quicklaunch just like the sms2pc icon on quicklaunch and can notify your PC when battery is low. Please consider this if this isn't too much to ask. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] onclesamxda:
Hi,

I also was a big fan of this app. It does not work for me anymore since my upgrade to JB (CM10.1). Looks like you found a workaround here. I tried reinstalling & un check/check with no success. What would you suggest precisely ?

windows 8 and android 4.2, no workee here
[Android Apps and Games] The Smith:
Hi!

I've been using this app since a good while now. It's wonderful. I noticed recently however that if Google Hangouts is set to take care of SMS as well, then they don't get forwarded to the PC. Is there a way to get it working with Hangouts?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SCOUSEinOZ:
I have used SMS2PC on my Android phone for some time now and found it to be brilliant. Unfortunately I now have a Windows 8 Nokia phone and wondered if this app had been developed for the Windows 8 platform?
[Android Apps and Games] Mackovich:
Solutions ! Here ;)

For those of you who cannot used SMS2PC with the following issues :

- cannot connect at all (Windows 8 and/or Android 4.1+)

- cannot recieve message but can send

Here are the solutions !!

1) Since JB 4.1, Android USB debug mode requires to accept the "print" of the computer connected.

That's the first step. However, you may know SMS2PC on your computer requires ADB to work. Therefore you need the newest version of ADB.

I managed to find the solution when I updated

adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll

I have attached those files in this mesage ;)

2) Regarding the problem where your device won't forward the messages to your computer via ADB, it's because of Hangouts.

In my current case, I found the solution out by removing completely hangout when installing my ROM (the ROM gave me the option to remove a few apps). Perhaps deactivating the SMS option in Hangout will solve the solution. I haven't tried that yet.

Enjoy !

SMS2PC on Windows Phone

Excuse my ignorance, I am not that tech savvy but can this programme work on a Windows 8 phone and if so, how do I get the ap onto the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Mackovich:
It's alright.

Unfortunatetly, there is no SPS2PC application on the Windows Phone Store. And I don't think there will ever be one.

Because it would seem the developer stopped working on his application. I had a talk with him a few years ago about implementing a way to send MMS as well as SMS. He said he was working on it, but then, nothing. I tried to reach him out a few more times, but no answer. That's sad.

Furthermore, the fact that I had to find a solution by updating the aforementioned files clearly shows that he is not even working on the desktop app.

Sorry for the bad news !

But if you really want an SMS2PC-like app on Winodws Phone, try google it, but it's still a young store compared to Android's, so I don't think you'll find something. Good luck !
