To be honest I only understood some of them :P

But I really liked the one that says a man raised two fingers and said: Five beers please :P

This transfers files over LAN right?
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Yup over LAN IP addresses used are the local ones.

[Android Software Development] Gramzz:
Omar,

Could You tell me:

1. How should we update server on my computer when You release update? Should I always remove old folder "Droid Sync Manager" from disc or only replace the old files or one file?

2. How can i move folder "Droid Sync Manager" from example disc C to disc E? Because now when i want to move it i have info that "Droid sync manager" file blocking it.
[Android Software Development] [-Hausmeister-]:
1.

To update the service simply stop the service and replace the Files. Then run the service again.

To Stop/start the Service: Windows key & R -> services.msc -> right mouse click on Droid Sync Manager -> Stop/Start

2.

You can't move the files without editing the entry in the Windows Service. Windows wouldn't find the Files and it can't start it.

Sadly you can't just move the files and run the installer again. The installer will stop because the service is already registered. To edit the path it involves some editing in the Windows Registry. (If you know what you are doing: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services)

But you can Delete the Service and start over.

Start a command line with admin rights.

Type in

sc stop DroidSyncManagerService

then

sc delete DroidSyncManagerService

now you can move the files and run the installer again.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
For those who are having issues installing the service, here is a solution thanks to [MENTION=3883686]qwaler[/MENTION]﻿

Replace the code below in the install.bat file:

@ECHO OFF

echo Installing Droid Manager Service
echo ---------------------------------------------------
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" "Droid Sync Manager.exe"
net start DroidSyncManagerService
echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done.

And for uninstalling:

@ECHO OFF

echo Uninstalling Droid Manager Service
echo ---------------------------------------------------
net stop DroidSyncManagerService
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" /u "Droid Sync Manager.exe"
echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done.﻿

NOTE: How to install

1. Run cmd as administrator

2. Write the following:

cd "directory of folder with application"
install.bat

Hello [MENTION=3611149]karanrajpal14[/MENTION]

Usually access denied issue is because:

1. Install.bar is not being run as administrator

2. Droid Sync Manager.exe is blocked by the system (Right click on Droid Sync Manager.exe -> Properties. If you find an unblock button click it please)

3. According to the log you provided Installutil.exe failed to write in the log file. Now Windows 8.1 security is a bit tricky, can you please move Droid Sync Manager from C:\ to another partition and try? If you want to keep it in C:\

then do what is mentioned here please :)

Hallo Omar, I installed the Droid Sync Manager Service Installer. I see it is running in the Services Managment Console.

After that I installed the Droid Sync Manager.apk on my Note 3. It starts scanning but it does not find any computers.

Do i do something wrong?

I use WIndows 8.1 64-bits.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION],

did you allow the service through your firewall?

So far this current installation doesn't do it automatically,

but on the next update I'll make it do it by default.

You need to allow the service, there is no specific port since it uses multiple ports for different purposes, so just allow this exe file: Droid Sync Manager.exe

If you are still having issues let me know :highfive:
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Hello Omar, yes I did. I will wait for the next version.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION] can you ping your phone from your computer?

Also can you ping your computer from your phone?!
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Good tip! I will try that tonight. I will let you know
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I have this issue a lot, I'm using a Tomson router at home and I face this issue a lot, I either have to change wifi channel every time I want to use this app, or i simply use Virtual Wifi and turn my laptop into a router ^_^
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Hi Omar, I have a ping from both sides, But, how can I change in the Service Manager program the Admin and User password? I think I set it a while ago, but I did forget it probably :(

EDIT : I have the password! It works fine now. Thanks for your help, Omar! I'm very curious for the updates
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I'm happy to see that [MENTION=3952098]Pierre118[/MENTION] :D

The next update for this app might be delayed, I have several few new ideas that I'll be working at after I update Droid Manager Pro. So the version that will be released with Droid Manager tomorrow is the same one you have installed now on your device, except for it will be published to public on Google Play and not just to Google+ Community members.
[Android Software Development] Pierre118:
Very curious about your ideas........Take your time, my friend.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
And this app is now officially open for public, no more joining Google+ communities for download :)

Enjoy :highfive:

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate it :)
[Android Software Development] Denkel:
Hi, I tried to start spanish translation but it says that the "project is currently suspended" :(

I´m just installing the app so I don't know if it will fit my needs, but sounds very promising!! :good:

[MENTION=4497643]Denkel[/MENTION]

Hi, I'm sorry for not replying on Google+ was a bit busy.

I just uploaded them to a new website, since crowdin isn't free.

Here is the new link: GetLocalization - Droid Sync Manager

I hope you enjoy the app my friend.

If there is any new feature you would like to see, let me know :D
[Android Software Development] Denkel:
No problem! I just found this post AFTER the G+ and thought you might be around here more...

Thanks for the link and the app!
[Android Software Development] ItalianWolf:
Later at home i'll try, so i can see what translation to italian is better!
[Android Software Development] ItalianWolf:
Maybe i found a bug?

(Sorry for my english)

Downloaded from official website (both) the apps.

On my pc win 7 ultimate 32bit, works fine (it's not so good looking DSManager on win 7!) i can't see any enabled/allowed devices in dsm after connecting.

On my Galaxy S4, the app crashes in this case: connoct to the pc, browse folders, then go back using ".." on top, can't go back to drives list (so if you where on c: you stay on c:\). After that if you select again Computer in navigation bar to select another drive the app crashes.

It was late night so i'm having another test time today at lunch.
[Android Software Development] ItalianWolf:
The problem exists, please remove the ".." from list when in the root of drive (or change as "Computer" in navigation bar).

And how to browse extsdcard? I can't find a way to do.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5860277]ItalianWolf[/MENTION] Hey, sorry for my late reply.

As for ".." in the root of the drive, it's been there since the first Alpha and no issues with it, it could be because of something else. Can you please send me a screenshot of your drive list on the app.

When the app crash, Android should give you the option to send crash report to me, can you please make the app crash and send me the report. That will give me a better clue on what is happening in there.

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] ItalianWolf:
I don't remember the option to send report, maybe i was hurry!

I'll do it in next days, Thanks
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5860277]ItalianWolf[/MENTION]

Thanks, I'll be updating the app soon to include your Italian translation :highfive:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5860277]ItalianWolf[/MENTION]

I have updated the app, please check if you still have issues :)

Update should be available in few hours on Google Play.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
So how are things going with Droid Sync Manager users? I hope everything is going great :highfive:
[Android Software Development] ItalianWolf:
Sorry i'm just back from holidays, i'll try nex days.

Thanks!

Hi,

i've installed Droid Sync Manager on my new laptop with windows 8.1 and i have problem.

My phone Note3 is connecting with laptop but i can't install Droid Manager beacuase when i open "Programs and Features" and when i click on install i have evrey time force close of "Programs and Features" app and i'cant install Droid Manager.

I have the same problem with Message center app

.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hello [MENTION=4153228]Gramzz[/MENTION],

You shouldn't be able to do that, I recall I modified Programs and Features to open www.droidmanager.co when click on either Droid Manager or Message Center.

Message Center is a feature for Droid Manager Pro only.

In-order to have all features work on Programs and Features you need a license for Droid Manager Pro

I only included programs and features in Droid Sync Manager so that I don't have to tell users to go their firewall settings, and allow my app through the firewall. I included an already made code from Droid Manager Pro and disabled few features from the app so that users can add firewall exception in a click of a button.

Thank you for reporting, and I hope you got the answer you wanted :highfive:
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:

I have just released an update for fixing crash issues found in free & pro version :)

Thanks for those who reported either via email or by sending their crash report to my google play developer console.

Update should be live in the coming hour :)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thank you I'm happy you liked it :D

I am working on fixing it but for now you can right click on the windows client icon, then click "Run as Administrator"

then you will be able to enter passwords.

Sorry for that :)

I am gathering resources to port the windows client to Java since it's written in C#.

I will be starting soon on it :)
[Android Software Development] Qthink:
Find DSM control panel at program file then Run as Administrator DSM contol panel.exe
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Thanks for helping :highfive:

Although I would like to note for users that I just updated the installer on my website (http://www.droidmanager.co) now the control panel requests admin rights before starting so that users avoid having issues.

So in-case anyone is having the issue get the new installer file and you will be good to go :)

Droid Sync Manager Review v2.0.11 !

The earlier v2.0.9 had issues where clicking on Settings would cause a FC . Also Sometimes it would not scan the PC itself . However v2.0.11 has solved these issues !

Loved your minimalist design with material goodies ! Brilliant app ! The design appeal made me switch from MissingLink ! Looking forward to this app grow !!

Also waiting eagerly from a C# client to a Java based version (MAC goodies ! ) !

Awesome Dev !!
[Android Software Development] Un0fficial4DM1N:
I can't wait for an OSX version. Do you know if it'll work using Crossover? I'm assuming it won't since you need admin tools.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5190996]M3gAtR0N[/MENTION] & [MENTION=6010029]Un0fficial4DM1N[/MENTION]

You guys have Mac, can you please try these steps

The windows client will never work on other platforms because it requires DirectX.

As for the service that actually respond to user requests from the android app (download service only), should work without issues on other platforms if mono is installed. You will not have a GUI, you wont be able to browse your computer BUT if it works Android app will ask you for a password when it detects your computer.

Also please make sure you allow the service and mono through your platform firewall. I'll be installing Ubuntu tomorrow on my laptop and try to follow the article and see what needs to be done to make it work since that way I'll save time rewriting the service in Java and focus on making a small control panel in Java.

Have a nice day.

[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
The app says No Computer Found. I've no problems with FTPDRoid, my net has some filters.

When the app runs, i see a load line with a sign on it, but i can't read, if i tap on it, nothing appens..
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
Hi [MENTION=5219278]steakhutzeee[/MENTION]

Did you allow the service through firewall?

When you first open the windows client it should tell you that you need to allow it through firewall.
[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
Yes i did :)
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5219278]steakhutzeee[/MENTION]

So now that we have taken this possibility out of the way,

Can you ping your device from your computer?

Can you also ping your computer from your device?

Also can you please tell me what exactly the filters are?

The windows service needs these ports open: 8000, 8001, 8002.

Although I don't think there is a chance the service is stopped, but can you please check it? The service name is Droid Sync Manager.

Thank you.

Edit:

Regarding firewall, you don't have to open those ports unless your filters blocks them.

Adding the service through firewall either using the app provided by me or doing it manually will work
[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
Ports seems to be open, how can i check this on win 7? And how can i do the ping you saying? Thx for answares :)

EDIT: i tried and the ping works both perfectly.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5219278]steakhutzeee[/MENTION]

First to ping your device,

1. open CMD (or press Win key + R then type cmd then press Enter)

2. type: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your device IP address, you can go to wifi settings on your phone, tap on the wifi network you are connected to, a dialog will open and it includes your IP address for the phone)

To check ports or if the service is allowed through firewall (maybe a bug in my app prevented the services from being added to firewall?)

here is a guid that explains how to add exception in details.

To know if the service is blocked or allowed through fire will, check Inbound Rules for an entry called "Droid Sync Manager"

Click on it and please check attached images in this post to know which settings to check for right configuration.

I'll be waiting for your reply :highfive:
[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
I tried, ping works, firewall is set properly, but i don't understand when you say "To know if the service is blocked or allowed through fire will, check Inbound Rules for an entry called "Droid Sync Manager"

Click on it and please check attached images in this post to know which settings to check for right configuration.".
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5219278]steakhutzeee[/MENTION]

What I mean by that is, once you open advanced settings in firewall, on the left you will see a list, one of its items is called "Inbound Rules"

usually its opened by default. To explain more please check attached image, it will tell you what I meant by "an entry called Droid Sync Manager"
[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
Ok, settings are ok. But i've only Droid Sync Manager and not the other two signs you've. But what's that load in the app? I've an xperia mini, maybe the app is not optimized for small deveice.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
[MENTION=5219278]steakhutzeee[/MENTION] not really to be honest it is meant for mid or large screen devices.

I'm sorry about that.

As for the loading you are seeing this means that the app was able to detect your computer but something is making the process slow.

On my end i usually get this from time to time and end up restarting my router, and if it didn't work I restart my computer.

Can you please try doing any of them if you don't mind?

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] steakhutzeee:
On the load line there is a signature, but i can't read, i only see the bottom part of it.. and the load take some minutes. Ok, i will try to restart my pc, i use a wifi hotspot of my town. Thx a lot :fingers-crossed:
