I am trying to transfer music to the Transformer from my ubuntu laptop. When I plug in the USB, syslog shows the usb high speed device connect, but it won't mount. I don't know much about android, so I thought maybe if your device isn't rooted, you can't access the internal storage via USB. So I grabbed a micro sd I had laying around (an old 1Gb) and popped it in thinking I could access that... no dice. Is there a way to transfer music on this thing?
-Thanks!
You need MTP drivers.

It won't mount in Linux. There is a way to make your computer mount storage, but I usually just take my micro SD out (32gb) and pop it in a card reader. Maybe try another card.

Plugging my phone straight into the PC, my computer just dongs at me. The phone didn't come with USB drivers but before I dive deep into search I wanted to know if this was normal or something to do with my PC.
Windows 7 x32
I don't have an SD card yet (I sold my 16gb with my N1) but I figured I should at least be able to access the internal drive?
Or am I wrong? My N1 didn't have an internal storage.
[Update]
It charges over USB no problem
Looks like it requires a special driver to access the SD/Internal Storage from a PC.

Once installed it pops up asking to turn on usb storage. Lame.
[UPDATE]!!!
It was noted that if you JUST WANT TO MOUNT YOUR microSD card without drivers
[Settings>SD card & phone storage]: Check Mass storage only
Now no drivers needed!

Yes I do believe from what I've read the G2x like the o2x requires a special driver for connecting the phone via USB to access the SD/internal storage, and to charge via USB.
It charges over USB just fine.
That would suck if it requires special drivers just to access the SD card.
I can understand the internal storage and ADB.
[Confirmed]
Requires drivers. That blows hardcore. I plug my phone into lots of PC's to access the files on my SD card. I found a 2gb microSD I used for testing.
Hopefully the devs find a way around that asap.

more than likely not, Samsung has this issue too and it didnt seem that big of a deal, people just worked with it
I installed a Micro SD card in my TF and cannot figure out how to access it while connected to my pc VIA USB cable? When I plug it in the PC does recognize the transformer but does not see the micro sd card? Also Asus sync starts up and i dont want to run it, is there a way to remove this program or stop it from starting up?
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
Found out the answer to half my question. The Micro SD card is actually listed as a folder inside the TF as opposed to a secondary drive.
Now just to figure out how to get rid of this Asus SYNC bloatware...
Hi
Quick question. So I want to transfer a video file from the computer to my EEE pad. Where does it get transferred to?
When I connect my EEE pad to my computer via the USB cable it seems only to recognise the SD card and not the internal storage. I want to be able to transfer my video to the internal storage.
Is that actually possible?
When you tether the TF to your PC via USB, the /sdcard folder is the internal memory.
That's correct, the removable SD card is referred to as the MicroSD.

If you take the micro SD card out and then connect it will transfer to main memory.
At least thats what happened to me when trying to transfer music and the SD card wasn't ....couldn't be read. Bad card I believe because my phone couldn't read it either and couldn't format it. I'll find out when I take it back tomorrow.
Just switched over from the rezound and wondering what the easiest way of copying my pics over would be? Seems like the drivers are different in terms of how this thing syncs up. Using win 7 64 bit and i get errors when just trying to move the files over to the SD card to the point where i have to unplug and plug the cable back in..
Thought i would be able to just plug this thing into the computer after installing the drivers and see the sd card automatically as a drive to move stuff freely to but doesnt seem to be the case.

This phone had MTP which windows supports natively. Should be able to view the internal and external cards immediately if you have the right drivers installed. It won't mount like a straight sdcard mount to the computer, on your computer it will look more like it has mounted your entire phone.

Hello,
New to Android and new to this forum. I have my TF700T two weeks now and I'm glad I bought it. My target is to copy the content of my Compact Flash cards (16GB each - from my DSLR) to a portable hard drive. Therefore I tried to connect both a card reader and a portable hard drive via an auto-powered USB-hub to the only usb-connection of my tablet. I even tried with another hub and even with a third hub. The only result was that my tablet only found the first device that was connected (regardless wich one: the CF-card or the HD) with the hub and not both at the same time, so copying from the CF-card to the drive isn't possible in one step. Sure I can copy the CF-card to the internal memory of the tablet and in a second pass move it to the HD, but that is very time-consuming.
Anyone who knows how to connect more then one usb-device at the same time via a powered USB-hub and do a file transfer between them? Your help is greatly appriciated.
You can use wi fi transfer to do it with a file manager, like file expert.

@tbtaf: When on vacation or on a photo trip I only have that portable hd, my tablet and a powered usb hub. I think a Wifi appraoch is not applicable then. Or am I missing something?
Sounds like you need to setup a second mount point for the additional device - don't know if that can actually be done or not, but I do know that some people who could not even connect the first device were able to manually specify the device by mounting it in a terminal window.
I'm not sure 100% on the code, but let me try to find out.
Or you could copy the 16 Gb CF card onto the pad's internal memory (or external MicroSD card), disconnect it, connect the HD and then copy it out again.

He already mentioned, he doesn't want to do this, he wants to copy straight.
For now, it's not possible since the powered hub or non power hub unable to recognize 2 devices at the same time.
CF, now there's nostalgia if anything. I thought those became outdated over 3 years ago... Fact is the CF is hardly compatible with mobile devices these days.
No, you can't copy from an external cardreader directly onto an external HDD through your tablet. It can only read 1 storage device in the USB port. Multiple devices works, but multiple storages doesn't. Some people have had some success with USB Flashdrives/Pendrives instead of HDD's though. You could try that.
You can copy from an SD to HDD easily though, so you could consider using an SD with a CF adapter if your camera has no SD slot. (SD's have the added advantage that the pins can't bent.)
