GM there,

I am sorry, have not to much time to install this Pr.correctly.
3 times uninstalled and installed again and again. I have unmarked the box for running the program and then with Activate.exe "activated ???" but I had always
the same comment "you have 3 days to try this software"
What to do now in the next 30 Mins. I have the giveawayoftheday free licence ?

Installed on 64-bit Win 8.1, and working fine with my older iPhone 3GS... Thank you!

Installed okay after starting up app on laptop it gave me a 3 day trial. After I exited and restarted it showed GOTD. I have windows 8 hp 64bit. Installed the phone app on Samsung S5. Kies app is very slow and limited on features. I had a scanner device driver error but I ignored it and everything works fine. A lot of features. Tested various functions with no problems. This is a keeper.

I'm always trust Giveaway of the day product, but I'm concern this time.
Just after I installed Apowersoft Phone Manger, my SecureAge alert me.
If the file is detected by only 1AV engine, there is a high chance it is not a virus (false positive).
The Following files are detected as malware:
Threat detected by Universal AV!
File name: Apowersoft\Apowersoft phone Manager\ffmpeg.exe Result Win.Trojan.chir-28 Detected by ClamWin
File name: Apowersoft\Apowersoft Phone Manager\driversetup.exe Result Gen:Variant.Graftor.50651 Detected by Emisoft,Bitdefnder

does anybody has same message?

Please excuse my computer illiteracy, but I'd like to know if this software (or ANY software) will transfer my contact information (names/phone numbers/email addresses) from my computer (Windows 7) to my Samsung Galaxy 5 phone (my 1st smartphone, so I'm not yet familiar with all it can do.) Thank you.

I installed by following the instructions carefully and it runs perfectly on my Win 7 system. It is sooo much better than Samsung Kies. I'm really impressed with the amount of info presented and how it's organized. A real keeper.

So installing this "backup software" on more than one computer will get the key code suspended? Sounds perfect for those of us who travel and must decide on which computer to install it...the desktop or laptop. Hmmm, help me decide. The laptop is easier to pull out of a briefcase for TSA screening while the desktop is a logical choice as it remains at home maintaining all the other backed up data. It would also hog up space in my carryon bag. Yes, I know the laptop is the obvious choice but the simple fact of being admonished by the software company right from the get-go is enough for me to say "no thanks. I won't take up space on EITHER computer with this offering." I feel everyone can do without being incriminated before they even install the program. True, beggars can't be choosers but honest people shouldn't be made to feel like thieves. Many people have differing operating systems so how do we know which system is better suited for this program? Next..........!

When you buy a phone, it is bundled with free software to enable transfer contacts, sms, data, photos, etc to and fro your phone and the PC.
Such software is frequently updated (FOC) as time passes. You can download online.
Such software is DEDICATED to that particular brand of phone.
...........................
A generic software like the Apowersoft phone manager giveaway today cannot possibly cater to every nuance and special feature of every particular brand of phone.
It is useful only if for some unexplained strange reason, the phone manufacturer PURPOSELY cripple their bundled software and make life very miserable for the owner of the phone.

Installed on ux32a W7 hp 64bit. Connected to my iPhone5 via usb. Familiar layout appears with expected functionality which works!
Downloading of photos and videos was quite fast compared to the free IFunbox which is very similar. Its has none of the functionality of IBackupBot but is a probable keeper, but not sure why.

This is not to be compared to Samsung Kies which has limited functionality (and reliability) and only works for Samsung devices.

This app is more like free MyPhoneExplorer which is more mature (and mentioned earlier), and Airdroid.

MyPhoneExplorer has been my preferred app for detailed editing of contacts on PC, backing up contacts, and taking screenshots of phone from PC. I will give this one a try - Thank you!

Like others, I can't get it to work with a Windows 8.1 phone - Nokia 530.

Don't even think about testing on different OS' -- you will be suspended. Thanks, but no thanks.

For a better, more flexible option, at least for iOS, check out DigiDNA's iMazing.

I'm disappointed. To get my Android phone and the PC connected via this application was a bit cumbersome. To make it short: the connection via USB cable did NOT work, the one via WiFi did, but not via QR code but via the verification code. I could transfer all my contacts (fine!), but I could NOT transfer all images (~270) as for an unknown reason the connection was disconnected after about 10 images or so.
But the worst thing for me was that I couldn't export/back my SMS - the feature which I have this application installed for. It didn't find any messages... :-( The application also once crashed at that point.

Well, good approach, but it's still a mixed bag...

Doesn't work with WinXP system (at least not mine). Upon installation, I received a "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.DLL was not found." even though there were several instances of it on my computer. So I manually copied the file to the Phone Manager directory. The program loads, but freezes before I can do anything. I have a WinXP system.

Connected my Motorola Droid Razr XT910 ok, but after enabling USB debugging. Haven't tried all the functionality yet, but looks like a keeper.

Installed and activated with no problems. The program connected to my HTC One M8 quickly and synched flawlessly. Upon connecting, the program shows you a lot information about your phone. I like that there are separate folders for music, notes, contacts, messages, apps, books, files and tools. The synch program that came with my phone doesn't work any more, so this is a great replacement. I haven't tried it with an iPhone yet, but if it works with that, this will definitely be a permanent fixture on my computer. Thanks for the giveaway!

Had been using "Wondershare MobileGo for Android" paid version for sometime on all of my Android products but after trying Apowersoft Phone Manager, Goodby Wondershare. Apowersoft works faster and for files back and forth to the PC is really the best. Samsung's Kies has never been my favorite because it takes to long for anything to happen.

When you try to connect with USB cable to the program, the Android app is downloaded and installed.

Granted all of these programs above normally take some time to connect to your device, but I think it is the fault of the PC. I notice this also when using the USB cable to just connect to the PC. Sometimes it is recognized by the Windows Explorer and more often not. The program offered today, may take some time occasionally but it seems to be always faster than WE.

I installed and activated the program before running it. I plugged my phone up to the computer using usb instead of scanning, because I didn't know where to scan. the software had me to debug the phone and then the software appeared on the phone. I backed up my apps, contacts, and text to my computer. I then used a different phone, after debugging it I restored my apps on the other phone. (Note:) kies don't backup and restore apps. this is a good software and I recommend using it. thanks Goatd!!!!

I am trying this program because I have (previous Giveaway) tried, and now purchased, the Apowersoft Screen and cam recorder. Best recorder ever for me! Simple to operate and always reliable.

@Timothy. I don't get your comment that you need to download the Apowersoft Phone Manager to your phone for it to work? That is nowhere mentioned in the GOTD instructions. Now I know that, for some reason or other, I can only get the app to work intermittantly, but when it does connect and work, how come it can do this without having been downloaded to my mobile?

It's claimed by Apowersoft Phone that the software works with a Windows device. Well it didn't! At least on my Nokia phone it doesn't. Tried with USB then Wi-Fi, Zip. Looked on softwares web site for help and found nothing. Google and Apple, but not Windows. Not worth anymore of my time. I'm deleting it.

Installed in Win 8, works fine whit my Xperia x1 compact, by wifi. Nice!

What is meant by "Windows operating system mobile devices"? It won't connect to my Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8.1) so does it mean tablets running Windows RT or only something like a Surface Pro running full Windows? From what I can tell, the answer is probably "none of the above". Based on other people's comments it won't connect to anything at all.

Would not connect to either of my Android phones despite there being an indication in the lower right of the window to show that an Android device was detected.

Needs a lot more work based on the comments so far.

Got this program off another site I had no problems connecting via QR wasn't so sure about the debugging so I didn't try. Tried it once and haven't returned which means that I will probably delete as it doesn't appear to fulfil a need.

I tried a lot of software for backup and explore android phones or tablets.

KIES is very heavy and slow to start (if you just need to see a contact, you do not want to wait 2 minutes for the software starts). Others I tried, often have problems connecting or recognition phones.

I finally found one pearl that is simple, light and very complete:

"MyPhoneExplorer" FREEWARE Multilanguage.

http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

It operates with usb cable (USB debug mode), wifi, bluetooth, IP fixed and automatic .
I tested it with with success in mode usb cable and wifi on galaxy note 1(non rooted) and galaxy tab 7 (rooted).

Most smartphones are delivered with software - or links for software - capable of doing exactly the same thing as today's offer. However, it takes, you (in some cases) have to install "spyware" like apps on your device. Norton Mobile Security flags Hi Suite as Medium Risk - just as an example. That's about the only reason, I can find for using today's offer - over the freeware alternatives. It remains to be seen, if this program can be usefull, when a major update package rolls out. I will give it a try, and if everything works on a daily basis, I'll look forward to uninstall Hi-Suite from my phone, at least. Hmm, the price tag is way over the edge!

Next time, I'll go back to Samsung, and with that phone, a program like this isn't very usefull. Kies does it all. So do Hi Suite and ....hey, take a look for yourselves before getting ripped of : http://ccm.net/faq/31262-software-suites-and-drivers-to-connect-your-smartphone-to-your-pc

I am finding that access to my Galaxy Note ii is somewhat hit or miss. Sometimes I get access but at other times it is blocked. Message says it could be being blocked by mobile or PC. I have it down as an exception on my laptop but not sure about the note ii situation as app isn't actually on it but on my PC. Anyone having similar probs?

I love this program. Have been useing it for about a year now and it beats the hell out of Kies. Remember though that you need to download the Apowersoft Phone Manager to your phone for it to work.

Installed & registered without any problems but couldn't get the it to connect to my Samsun s3. Clicking on the Learn More links tries to take you to a page web page that cannot be opened. Tried both USB and WiFi connection methods both failed, might of helped if more help given by the application. Uninstalled via reboot.

@Ron The readme file makes it quite clear that all you have to do is run Activate.exe (probably at Admin level. There is no serial number to be registered.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A not so clean install. Changed firewall rules. Installs ApowersoftAndroidDaemon.exe as service.

A Chinese company with address.
"Apowersoft (APOWERSOFT LIMITED) is a company located in Hong Kong and dedicated to providing digital media solutions to people around the world. "

Remember last program in this category? Which tried to root my Samsung without warning and admission? Did anybody really let his Samsung root with the previous program and lost functionality and guarantee?

Well, today I started the program, enabled USB debug on my phone and waited for connection. On the phone, the installed Avast scanner did not claim any problem.

The program could not connect due to several reasons:
http://i.imgur.com/Xiz8Tft.png (German : could not connect via USB cable).

On my smartphone appeared the message, that I should scan a QR code from "my box". There is a QR code in the PC program window, but the handy (WLAN/scanner) could not work with the shown QR code. I did not find any other way to connect the handy via my working WLAN. The only way seems to be via the QR code.

This program installs as app an Apowersoft Smartphone Manager with tools like scanner, flashlight(!), Handy Hotspot, USB tethering and an app Apowersoft Handy Datatransfer to install from Google playstore - has 10 thousand download in Google Playstore.

I deinstalled the Apowersaoft Smartphone 2.1.9 app from my handy, disabled the USB debugging again.
I'll stay with my Samsung Kies.

Maybe you have more success and like this program.

Uninstalled via reboot.
Have a nice weekend

This program won't connect to my Samsung REX60, so it's useless. Uninstalled the same way Karl does.

how do i register it?
