2. Alternative for kies - MyPhoneExplorer

MyPhoneExplorer is an easy-to-use phone explorer for managing your Sony and other Android device. To connect an Android with the MyPhoneExplorer, you have three options: WiFi, USB cable and Bluetooth.

It helps you organize files on SD card, sync Outlook, Thunderbird, and import and export SMS. However, it doesn't allow you to backup and restore your Android device in 1 click. It's only available for photo management. As for music and video, it turns out to be useless. Worse still, when it comes to app management, it only allows you to delete apps, which you can do directly on the Android device.

3. Alternative to kies - MOBILedit

MOBILedit is a platform that works with many phones and tablets running Android, iOS, Symbian, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Bada, and other OS via WiFi, Bluetooth and USB cable.

With it, you can drag and drop photos, music, videos and documents between your phone and tablet and PC, make ringtones, organize contacts and manage apps. Besides, backup your phone and tablet and restore when in need.

One shortcoming is that MOBILedit doesn't offer you download center. It means, if you want to download something to your phone and tablet, you have to download to PC first, and then import to your phone and tablet.

4. Alternative to Samsung kies - AirDroid

As its name suggests, AirDroid is an application that helps you manage your Android phone and tablet over the air. It enables you to edit SMS and send it via computer, quickly install and export apps, move video, photos, ringtones and others on and off your Android phone and tablet. However, it's not available for you to back up or restore your Android phone and tablet.

5. Samsung kies alternative - DoubleTwist

doubleTwist is mainly used for you to sync music, video and photos from iTunes to your mobile phone wirelessly or with a USB cable. However, it can do nothing to manage the contacts, SMS and apps on your mobile phone, let alone back up and restore your mobile phone.

Samsung kies is garbage, do you think so?
