如何使用SnapPea从Windows管理您的Android设备
Android users have not been dealt a great hand when it comes managing their devices from Windows. Different manufacturers provide device management tools ranging from the mediocre to the just plain bad – Kies, I’m looking at you. But I have discovered SnapPea, one of the easiest ways to manage, control and backup Android from Windows.
从Windows管理其设备时,尚未向Android用户提供帮助。 不同的制造商提供了设备管理工具,从普通的到普通的坏-凯斯,我在找你。 但是我发现SnapPea是从Windows管理,控制和备份Android的最简单方法之一。
iTunes may have improved somewhat in its most recent incarnation, but it is still one of the least appealing aspects of being a fan of portable Apple devices. If you’re an iPad, iPod or iPhone user you may wax lyrical about the operating system you are using, the quality of your hardware and the range of apps available – I have been included in this number at times – but you still have to contend with iTunes. It’s just not a great piece of software by any stretch of the imagination.
iTunes在其最新版本上可能有所改进,但仍是成为便携式Apple设备爱好者的最不吸引人的方面之一。 如果您是iPad,iPod或iPhone的用户,则可能会对所使用的操作系统,硬件的质量和可用的应用程序的范围充满讽刺意味-有时我已经包括在该数字中,但是您仍然必须与iTunes竞争。 从任何方面的想象来看,它都不是一款出色的软件。
SnapPea is a different beast altogether. This is a desktop tool that can be used to organize and backup your Android tablet or phone from Windows (although there’s also a Mac version available), and despite the fact it’s currently in beta, it is already shaping up to be something very solid.
SnapPea完全是另一种野兽。 这是一个桌面工具,可用于从Windows组织和备份您的Android平板电脑或手机(尽管也有Mac版本),尽管它目前处于测试阶段,但已经非常可靠。
建立SnapPea连接 (Make the SnapPea Connection)
Getting up and running with SnapPea is a multi-step process. You will first need to grab yourself a copy of the desktop software from the software website, but there’s also an app that will need to be installed on your mobile device.
SnapPea的启动和运行是一个多步骤的过程。 您首先需要从软件网站上获取台式机软件的副本,但是还需要在您的移动设备上安装一个应用程序。
The phone version of the app can be downloaded from Google Play , but if you are planning on working with a tablet you will need to visit another site to download the software you need – the tablet version is not available for download through Google Play at the moment.
可以从Google Play下载该应用程序的手机版本,但是如果您打算使用平板电脑,则需要访问其他站点来下载所需的软件-平板电脑版本无法通过Google Play在以下位置下载时刻。
Run through the installation of the desktop program first and then install the mobile app on your Android device. In order to establish a connection you will need to put your phone or tablet in USB Debugging mode – if you don’t know how to do this, instructions are provided in the desktop app for various versions of Android.
首先运行桌面程序的安装,然后在Android设备上安装移动应用程序。 为了建立连接,您需要将手机或平板电脑置于USB调试模式-如果您不知道如何执行此操作,则桌面应用程序中会提供有关各种版本Android的说明。
With this done, make sure you have the Windows version of SnapPea running and then connect your Android device. Follow the instructions to install drivers and you’ll be ready to go in just a few moments.
完成此操作后,请确保已运行Windows版本的SnapPea,然后连接您的Android设备。 按照说明安装驱动程序,您很快就可以开始使用。
SnapPea will immediately invite you to link the device to your computer so that backups will be automatically created. Just click Link or ‘Don’t link’ – you can change the setting later on if you change your mind.
SnapPea将立即邀请您将设备链接到计算机,以便自动创建备份。 只需单击链接或“不链接”-如果您改变主意,可以稍后更改设置。
探索SnapPea (Exploring SnapPea)
The links down the left hand side of the program window should be fairly self-explanatory; click the Apps link to access the apps you have installed, Contacts to manage your contacts, and so on.
程序窗口左侧的链接应该很容易解释。 单击应用程序链接以访问您已安装的应用程序,单击联系人来管理您的联系人,等等。
Starting off in the Apps section, it is possible to not only view a list of the apps you have installed, but also uninstall any you no longer need and move between internal storage and an SD card. While these are tasks easily performed on your device, if you want to work with several apps at the same time, SnapPea makes this possible.
从“应用程序”部分开始,不仅可以查看已安装的应用程序列表,还可以卸载不再需要的任何应用程序并在内部存储器和SD卡之间移动。 尽管这些任务很容易在您的设备上执行,但是如果您想同时使用多个应用程序,则SnapPea使这成为可能。
You also have the option of backing up apps. This involves little more than copying the relevant APK files from your device to your computer and it’s a good idea before performing any major app upgrades. Should you decide that the latest version of a particular title is not for you, you can revert to your backup version instead.
您还可以选择备份应用程序。 这仅涉及将相关的APK文件从您的设备复制到计算机上,这是执行任何主要应用程序升级之前的好主意。 如果您认为特定标题的最新版本不适合您,则可以恢复为备用版本。
To backup, select one or more apps by ticking the boxes next to them and then click the Export button at the top of the program window. When the time comes to reinstall, just click the ‘Install apps’ button and select your backup folder; you can install swathes of apps in one fell swoop in this way.
要进行备份,请勾选一个或多个应用程序旁边的框,然后单击程序窗口顶部的“导出”按钮,以进行备份。 当需要重新安装时,只需单击“安装应用程序”按钮,然后选择您的备份文件夹即可; 您可以通过这种方式一口气安装大量应用程序。
It is worth noting that only APKs are backed up, not app data – you will have to export this separately yourself.
值得注意的是,仅备份APK,而不备份应用程序数据–您必须自己单独导出。
媒体管理 (Media Management)
Almost every Android device is home to a raft of media files. Few phones are not used to store scores of photos, and both tablets and phones are used for video and music playback. In the Video, Music and Pictures section, the Export option is once again available for backup purposes. Files can also be imported.
几乎所有的Android设备都拥有大量的媒体文件。 很少有电话不用于存储照片分数,平板电脑和电话都可以用于视频和音乐播放。 在“视频,音乐和图片”部分中,“导出”选项再次可用于备份。 文件也可以导入。
You can click any picture to view it in full screen mode, and standard slideshow controls are available at the bottom of the screen. In addition to deletion and rotation options, you will also find a couple of buttons to set an image as your Android wallpaper or to share via Facebook.
您可以单击任何图片以全屏模式查看,并且在屏幕底部提供标准的幻灯片演示控件。 除了删除和旋转选项外,您还将找到几个按钮来将图像设置为Android壁纸或通过Facebook共享。
Music management works in much the same way, and there is a nice feature available to anyone who has used, or is still using, iTunes to manage a music collection. To the upper right of the Music section, click the ‘Import iTunes music’ button to do just that – you will just have to choose which of the available libraries should be imported.
音乐管理的工作方式几乎相同,并且任何使用过或仍在使用iTunes管理音乐收藏的人都可以使用该功能。 在“音乐”部分的右上角,单击“导入iTunes音乐”按钮即可执行此操作–您只需选择应导入的可用库中的哪个即可。
备份及更多 (Backup and More)
If you are using SnapPea to work with a phone rather than a tablet, the Contacts and Messages section of the program provide you with a useful way to create, edit and delete address book entries as well as send the occasional SMS using a regular keyboard.
如果您使用SnapPea而不是平板电脑来使用电话,则该程序的“联系人和消息”部分为您提供了一种创建,编辑和删除通讯录条目以及使用常规键盘偶尔发送SMS的有用方法。
Click the Welcome link in the left hand navigation bar to return to the main screen. Tucked out of the way down to the bottom right of the window you will find another Backup option. This can be used to quickly backup all of your apps, contacts and messages – they’ll be stored in one zip file that you can browse manually or reinstate using the Restore button.
单击左侧导航栏中的“欢迎”链接以返回主屏幕。 隐藏在窗口右下角的位置,您将找到另一个“备份”选项。 这可用于快速备份您的所有应用程序,联系人和消息-它们将存储在一个zip文件中,您可以手动浏览或使用“还原”按钮将其恢复。
At the Welcome screen you will also find another handy tool. Screen capturing is something that varies from one Android device to another. On my HTC phone, it’s a simple matter of holding the power button and tapping home, while my tablet requires a button combination I always forget that involves the volume control and only works half of the time.
在“欢迎”屏幕上,您还将找到另一个方便的工具。 屏幕捕获是从一台Android设备到另一台设备的不同。 在我的HTC手机上,只需按住电源按钮并点按主页,这很简单,而我的平板电脑则需要一个按键组合,但我始终忘了这涉及音量控制,并且只能使用一半时间。
Click the little arrow to the right of the Capture button in the center of the window and you can choose between taking ‘Screen only’ screenshots – which I would recommend – or ‘normal’ ones. Selecting the latter option results in very small grabs with a device-specific border.
单击窗口中心的“捕获”按钮右侧的小箭头,您可以选择“仅屏幕”屏幕截图(我建议这样做)或“正常”屏幕截图之间的选择。 选择后一个选项会导致带有特定于设备的边框的小抓斗。
SnapPea also includes full screen display mirroring. You can opt to show the output of your phone or tablet on your computer monitor; this is great for showing off photos or giving presentations. This button can be found to the right of the Capture button and whatever is displayed on your Android will also be displayed on your monitor – albeit with a slight lag (you are not going to want to use this option for full screen gaming).
SnapPea还包括全屏显示镜像。 您可以选择在计算机显示器上显示手机或平板电脑的输出。 这非常适合炫耀照片或进行演示。 该按钮位于“捕获”按钮的右侧,并且您的Android上显示的内容也会显示在监视器上-尽管有少许滞后(您不希望使用此选项进行全屏游戏)。
This is a great little tool that I would recommend to any Android user. SnapPea is wonderfully simple to use, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
我会向所有Android用户推荐这是一个很棒的小工具。 SnapPea非常易于使用,我不能推荐它太高。
