Data loss can happen to a PC and also to mobile devices including Android phones. Without any proper plan to backup valuable data on your Android, it will definitely be too late for you to retrieve back your data once they are wiped out. So don’t wait until it’s too late to start thinking about backing up your phone.
Wondershare MobileGo is a freeware Android phone manager for Windows that is designed to help you to manage the data in your Android phone including your contacts, SMSes, music files, movies and photos, directly from your computer screen. Besides, the application comes with useful functions such as multimedia converting, data transferring, data backup and restore.
To use this application, you need to first install the MobileGo application on your Windows. On the first run after install, you need to setup connection between your Android device and the MobileGo application. There are two types of connection that you can use, either by using USB or Wi-Fi connection.
In my case, I use USB connection. After you have plugged your device to the computer using USB cable, your device will be automatically detected by MobileGo (unless your device is not supported).
Next step is to setup (one-time setup) the connection between your device and the application. Choose your device to connect, then a driver will be installed in your device, plus you will be prompt to enable USB debugging on your Android device and name your device.
Now, the MobileGo application is ready to use. In the home screen, you can view the phone storage information of your device. Also, there are the Backup and Restore buttons.
With a click on the Backup button, you can easily backup your phone’s contacts, SMSes, and APK applications from Android to your PC.
At the top of the home screen, there are tabs for Contacts, SMS, Music, Movies and Photos.
In the Contacts tab, you can easily add, delete, group and back up/restore (export/import) all of your contacts for your Android smart phone.
Meanwhile, for SMS management, MobileGo make it convenient for you to receive, send, and organize all your SMSes on your computer with keyboard.
For music and movies management, you can do the following :
- Automatically convert the incompatible formats into compatible ones when you try to import multimedia files from PC to your phone.
- Freely transfer any of your favorite movies and music files from PC to your phone without worrying about the compatibility of file formats.
- Simply build a new playlist, export to local, rename, delete, and set ringtones, etc. to organize your media files.
Lastly, in the Photos tab, you can manage the pictures and photos like transferring, rotating, deleting, renaming and so on.
Wondershare MobileGo is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, 2003 and Windows XP operating systems.
