How do I send music to Hero?

Just got a Hero and need help sending music from my computer to my Hero.
Thanks

Download HTC Sync and install it. Run it after it's installed, connect your Hero to the PC with the USB cable, it will go through a couple of settings.
Once it's connected to HTC Sync, on the phone at the top of the screen, drag it down and select "USB connected" Then "Mount"
You should be able to access your SD card now. Then I usually just use WMP to sync with my Hero but you could create a folder on your SD card called "Music" then just copy and paste any album folder onto your SD card.

No need to get HTC sync, just plug the phone in via usb, drag notification bar down and 'mount' then just open the external device (the phone) folder in my computer, drag whatever you want to the phone, create folders if you like for extras, like notifications, music, ringtones etc, the phone knows what these are for.

I use windows media player. Just drop and drop music onto the sync tab and when ready click on sync. This assumes you first have all your music loaded into windows media player.

[Q] File Sync?? and showing as drive.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone had any luck being able to sync multiple folders with the PC and /also webdav servers. I have tried good sync and always sync, to name a couple but none of them can detect the Icona, as it only shows up as a storage device not a network drive. Is it possible to remap as a network drive?? If so how??
The is a new sync appp called file Droid which appears quite good but again it doesn't detect to Iconia.
Too painfull to drag files across and keep them in sync-

you can try synctoy from MS but you will have to have your tab in mass storage mode.

[Q] How do I transfer contacts from my mytouch 4g?

My nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot, so I'm unable to backup my contacts from my mytouch 4g to SD card to transfer it over. I just cut my SIM card too, so I can't use that either.
Is there a way to backup my contacts to the cloud and then sync it to my phone? I've always added contacts to my Google/Gmail account, however, I'm unable to find a way to access the Gmail contacts on my Nexus 4.
Thanks!

Does dropbox have a contact sync? Not that I know of... unless you're talking about backing up the file to SD card, then transfer it to the cloud then download it on my Nexus 4... I'll try that now!

If all of your contact is in Google Account then you should be able to sync them to the Nexus 4.
It is the Google Phone!
Go to Settings
=> Account
=> Google
=> your @gmail.com account
=> Make sure contacts is checked
Go to People/Contact App
=> Menu Button
=> Contact to display
=> Customize
=> your @gmail.com account
=> check everything
Check back if you see your contacts now.
If not, go to your Gmail => Contacts, see what group your contacts are actually located in, or if they are actually there.
In short, if the contacts are in your Google Account then you should be able to sync it to the Nexus.
If you still can not do that, reply here I'll explain how to export from Google Contact then Import to your phone.

How to Transfer contacts, photos, etc from MyTouch4G
After a couple hours on the phone with tmobile and techsupport, we figured out that the usb cord which comes with the wall charger actually WILL work, it's just a matter of doing first things first. Some of the steps were offered by previous posters to whom I'll give all the credit. The last step was suggested by the tmobbile tech rep in Colorado.
My computer indicated a Removable "F" Drive but when I clicked on it, I rec'd the message to "Insert a disk into the "F" Drive" no matter which USB port I tried on the laptop. With the USB Connected I also tried each of the connections in the HTC MyTouch Settings under Connect to PC, and rebooted/restarted both the computer and phone several times. Still rec'd the same error message, like the laptop was not recognizing the device.
SO..................
1. Make sure the driver for the HTC MyTouch is up to date (search online. mine is a 2006 driver but said no newer version and that it's working properly).
2. With USB Cable connected, On the MyTouch, go into Settings and select "Connect to PC" and make sure that you select "Disk Drive". (The Tmobile rep said that you should also see a USB icon at the top of the phone... I did),
3. You may have to reboot/restart both the phone and computer as I don't know if this was a needed step or not. But do it anyway just to be sure.
4. Then I tried unplugging and re-plugging the USB end into the computer, but it made no difference. So, the tech rep said to try unplugging the end that's connected to the phone rather than the USB end.
IT WORKED. THE COMPUTER IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THE PHONE AND ALL THE FILES/PICTURES/ ETC SHOWED UP IN THE "F" Drive Folder on my computer.
TRY IT ON YOUR PHONE/COMPUTER>
HOPE THIS HELPS.
If this solves your problem, please rate this reply. Thank You!

share gallery photos

I just got a used s4 and the previous owner needs me to send them the gallery photos on the phone.
I know I can put them on my computer, zip and email them but how can I package them so they sync or install on their current android phone's gallery either via a tool or their Google account?
Reason being the user requesting their photos is a bit computer illiterate and won't understand how to download an email attachment and extract to a specific folder.

Dropbox, Facebook, Picasa etc. Could also use google. (open Gallery (yellow flower), when it is open - Press menu key and the sync options should pop up.
The hard way is making a cd/usb and give it to him the next time ya meet. Or learn him the ways of winrar and emailing. It is the 21th century after all :silly:

[Q] Galaxy S5 Syncing Photos From Computer to Phone

Hello!
I recently moved from a Windows 7 phone to Android and the thing I miss most is the ability to sync wirelessly my photos from my computer to my phone. Here is how I did it on my Windows phone:
1. I would go into Zune (the software used to sync the phone, similar to iTunes) and choose the folders from my computer to sync with my phone.
2. I would plug my phone into its wall charger and it would sync wirelessly every night when I charged it.
The photos would be synced to my gallery and I was able to see the photos even when I wasn't connected to my phone provider or internet.
Is there any way to do this on my new Samsung Galaxy S5? I attempted to copy my photos using the USB cable, but I didn't have enough room to move them. I had 16GB of storage on my Windows phone, the same amount as my Galaxy, and the photos fit on the Windows, so there is obviously some way to do it.
I can live without the whole no-internet or cell service needed to see the photos, but I would really love to be able to at least access my photos from my phone.
Note: in the gallery, if I scroll down I see a "connected devices" option, and underneath those devices (which are my home laptop and PC) there is "no images" listed. How do I get photos shared between these connected devices?
Thank you so much!

I use google drive fotosync for this so I have all my mobile pictures accessable on every computer where i have internet access and log in to my google account.
With the app FolderSync you can sync special folders with nearly any cloud.

I have quite a lot of photos to sync, probably more than 600. Can you sync a lot of photos?
