the fma website is claiming that the following work with the K700i and K750.

Profile selection
Remote Control
Notes sync
take picture with phone from within fma

I have never been able to get those items working on a K700i. Now I recognise FMA is a great program, but the developers don't seem to be testing on the latest models and seem to be just assuming that it will work just like the T610.

If ANYONE has had the above working on K700i can they let me know? Because as far as I can tell they don't work.

"my phone explorer" does all the above no worries. That's my answer, who cares about fma for K700 now. (except take a picture remotely or use remote control of computer - both these features are available through other software anyway and don't work at all in fma on the k700)

I've got my solution. MyPhoneExplorer also beats SE's file explorer software hands down for file transfers. (SE's file explorer crashes often on large transfers)

Yeah, If I could also jump on the bandwagon; get rid of that FMA as it is crap and in my opinion it has passed it's sell-by date.

Get MyPhoneExplorer as it works a treat and does everything FMA does without the hassles.

It is a German product, so the website is in German, but Google translates it fine:

The reason I dislike FMA apart from the reason that I could not get it to work is that it stuffed up my machine and I had to rebuild it...

I was able to do all of the above with my k700

now with my k750 everything but remote control works

check that you setup fma properly frmo the settings and load the proper script

no problems with fma here!
it's a great piece of software.
if you follow the instructions on their forums and install the patches/updates you shouldn't have any problems with it.

fMA seems to be dead in the water.

Changed from FMA to my phone explorer and it was really better for my S700.
