Hi
Recieved my transformer today and after a few hrs with it, I was totally impressed. It is by far the most beautiful tablet I have had. From an ipad, a tmo galaxy tab and the Gtablet, this one is a keeper. A few things:
1. For some reason when the asus is connected to a USB hub attached to my 27" iMac, it would not charge. I had to connect it directy to an AC source.
2. How do I use the "MyNet" feature to gain access to the videos and files on my macintosh? I saw a message about DLNA from the tab, but don't have any idea how to set it up from the Mac.
3. I read that Asus was providing some sort of cloud storage for the transformer, but I cannot locate the info or an app on the tablet so I can take advantage of that feature. Is there a sign-up page for this online storage cloud service?
4. Is there any macintosh software available which would allow me to access the sdcard on the eee pad? I am able to do this via windows from Parallels, but would like to have access also from the Apple side.
5. Which HDMI type cable should I be getting for the Transformer?
6. Is there a short "root" method I can use apart from this one ...
I am not comfortable for this long process to have cwm on the Tab. Will wait for an easier method. Just need root for now.
My unit came fully updated, and software update hasn't found any thing new.
Kudos to Asus for engineering such an awesome tablet.
#1 is easy - USB ports on computers (any computer) only provide about 500mA of current. This is not enough to charge a tablet device. If you look at the output rating of the adapter with your Transformer, it's probably something like 5V, 1800mA.
Simply put - USB ports on computers don't put out enough juice.

Actually, you're running the original March build. You'll want to go to this thread and click on the link to the latest firmware. It's a manual (non-FOTA) update, and you'll need a microSD card to apply it.

Mine charges VERY slowly via USB when the display is off. Get about 2% per hour I think.

unlimited cloud storage can be found in the app "MyCloud" after the update
if you had webstorage account from asus before you'll have to set up a new one from Eeepad to take advantage of the first year unlimited cloud storage
I dont think MyNet is compatible with macs, and as was stated in the other posts (and judging from your screenshot), you don't have the latest firmware installed. It's easily updated by using a microsd card though.

I'm thinking the same thing regarding MyNet for Macs. Hopefully there is an update in the future that will bring compatibility to Macs/OSX.
As mentioned before, the current capacity of a usb hub ( or computer usb port is not sufficient to do a good job charging the TF. Also the chips used in most 4 port USB hubs provide two powered ports and two un-powered ports. The un-powered ports can not be used to power anything.

My ReadyDLNA (Ext3 external drive plugged into a WNDR3700) is showing in MyNet, so can't we just use a Mac OS DLNA clent/server? I feel like this could be done without even using the router like I am.

Sorry I don't know enough about macs to give advice on that. All i know is that on the asus site, it doesnt mention mac support at all, which leads me to believe there isn't, nor will there be, any software to make it compatible on the mac.
I guess you could use a windows emulator as a workaround or even install a proper version of it on a partition.

Well the software they provide for windows is indeed a DLNA client/server, so in a sense the mechanics are identical, not to mention you can work with with Ext3 in Mac os (Much faster streamingpotential compared to NTFS). I plan on installing XBMC later today, and I'll post back if there are any issues with HFS+.

As long as you see your dlna server in mynet I don't see why not. Your shares don't show up? That's strange. Because I got a windows xp machine running the windows media player dlna server and I see all my folders. Though my transformer don't support most of the video on my PC...that's a bummer. Need a good video player on this transformer that can play streaming video.

Not quite.
The Transformer PSU puts out 15v at 1.2A on a pin that is normally used by USB3 (Not present at all on USB2)
When plugged into a normal USB2 hub (only 5V) it will charge _very_ slowly and even then only when powered off (not just with the screen off)

If you turn off the screen it will trickle charge very slowly. USB ports aren't providing enough juice to fully charge the TF.
2. How do I use the "MyNet" feature to gain access to the videos and files on my macintosh? I saw a message about DLNA from the tab, but don't have any idea how to set it up from the Mac.
You want to run some sort of DLNA software on the Mac. I use an app called "Playback" on my Mac Mini for DLNA purposes to stream to my Xbox and Epic 4G (when i had one) and Galaxy Tab (when i had one).
3. I read that Asus was providing some sort of cloud storage for the transformer, but I cannot locate the info or an app on the tablet so I can take advantage of that feature. Is there a sign-up page for this online storage cloud service?
Complimentary one-year trial of ASUS WebStorage. Please visit www.asuswebstorage.com for more details.
4. Is there any macintosh software available which would allow me to access the sdcard on the eee pad? I am able to do this via windows from Parallels, but would like to have access also from the Apple side.
Yes, it's called Android File transfer. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
5. Which HDMI type cable should I be getting for the Transformer?
Mini HDMI, available for cheap online or for about $29 at your local BestBuy.
6. Is there a short "root" method I can use apart from this one ...

You just need to be running a DLNA server on the Mac. Look up an app called Playback.

This is the update i was waiting for because you can leave the app without it disconnecting
The new ui is also a nice change.
yeah this app kicks ass! I bought it for my droid when I first got it, and forgot about it. Tried it on my Transformer and its gorgeous! I bought this transformer/dock combo to replace my busted sreen laptop, and I am just leaving my laptop plugged in and on in a corner of my livingroom.
Some uses for it.
1: I stick an SD card into the laptop, got on phonemypc, downloaded the firmware update for my Transformer, took the SD card out, and updated my firmware!
2: I needed some .txt file and .pdf file ebooks to be converted into proper .epub ebook format. So I downloaded them via my PC using phonemypc, used the program I have and converted them, droppe them in my laptops dropbox folder, and voila! They were on my Transformer!
3: I also bluetooth connected my Transformer to my phone so I have constant internet on the Transformer on the go (Who needs a paid 3g plan specific for a tablet anyway?? Waste of money)
Anyways, at work, I pulled up phonemypc, logged in, and viewed the webcam with sound to spy on my dog!
I love this thing. Love it.
Typed out using my Asus Transformer Dock
is it something like removing too PC?IA m looking for something to able to remote into my PC and be able TP do things PC from remote using transformer ..is impossible with phonetics or do I need to be looking for something else?
This is a pretty awesome app. I like tier connection system in that it only goes through their servers if it cannot find the computer directly. Very responsive on my transformer.
Possibly reviving a dead thread here:
Has anyone tried this with the Transformer's keyboard dock?
Does the cursor / touch pad work?
How about keyboard shortcuts?
So I've pretty much replaced my laptop with my transformer. Yea my laptop has a 17 inch screen, but to be honest with you its so big I never wanted to take it anywhere! Isn't a laptop supposed to be PORTABLE? I feel like I can (and should) take the TF everywhere. It seems tiny when docked, but just right when used as a tablet.
I love it.
The only thing stopping me from selling my laptop at this point is that I need to burn CD's occasionally. Is there any app out there that can access an external burner so that I can make CD's from music I have stored on my external drive?

Probably more a matter of time, at least if there's interest in it, but might be a long time. Didn't Honeycomb just add USB host support? I don't think it would've been possible before that.

Not necessarily at all, not all manufacturers provide Linux drivers for their hardware (Android is linux underneath it all). As well, I'm not sure exactly how Linux drivers work, but each CD burner might need their own set of drivers
If the iso drivers are in the kernel, the system will know about cd/dvd disks and drives. The issues is a program to do the burning.

So I plugged in my external DVD writer, and the kernel currently is not reconigzing it.
So that is step 1, someone adding the drivers into the kernel.
After that, it is simly a matter of re-building cdrecorder and mkisofs for an ARM target and writing a little UI on top of it.

Don't get me wrong i love Android.....but leaving windows 7 and coming up 8????? Not to mention all the bugs because its a "beta" product. Actually i wouldn't even call this Alpha..Android OS should of release a GOOGLE laptop first with all the correct hardware specs and almost bug free before letting anyone put there OS on a tablet and sell it...Every Honeycomb tablet that has been made has issues. And its the hardware not being fully compatible.

If you replaced android with another operating system on your post, that can apply to any OS system on the planet. Be it windows, osx, Linux or what ever a company puts out. Not one OS or hardware is immune. Perfect software only happens when it's on the drawing board. The longer android is out the better it gets..but honeycomb has been out a very short time and is only on 5 percent of the devices running google OS. There are more then enough developers for it.
I'm looking for an external dvd burner to work with the TF also. Seems like a lot of TF owners are looking too. Hopefully someone with xda will develop the software...
Not exactly what you want but it might help
Check out this product.....It adds an extra step and it would be kinda kludgy at best.......It is a standalone cd burner.
http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=11177
They also have a DVD burner. There may be others out there as well. I have been wanting this as well and don't really want to spend extra to get the capability right now at least.
Awesome! Definitely a solid solution. And a great idea in general! Thanks for the info

I don't think he's looking to reboot into a full-blown Ubuntu environment (where nothing else works) just to burn a DVD... The whole point of this thread is to get Android-native tools to do the burning - not setup some half-working OS to do the task...
I don't see what the Unix "cdrecord" and "mkisofs" utilities can't be ported over to Android. Although, I don't have the skills to do that, so maybe it's not such a trivial task...

I need wired internet to connect at work, so I was wondering if anyone has tried a usb Ethernet adapter yet. I don't want to buy one without knowing for sure if they work or not, and I figured some people here might have one.
I have a couple of dongles I will try for you tonight when I get home from work.
I don't think this is going to work. They specifically said that USB network adapters are not supported.

No, they said that "We are not offering an ethernet to USB bridge solution for wired scenarios". That doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work, just that Microsoft is not offering one.
But yeah, it's true, maybe it won't work. That's why I want to know before I buy one.
I tried a USB hub / ethernet adapter that I use for my MacBook Air. I think it is made by Kensington. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have another somewhere that I am going to try too. It's disappointing since this should work. I suspect I am going to need to buy a travel router.

Sure. I'll find the model number when I get home. Unfortunately, I think this is going to be a universal issue-- no USB networking support at all.
Actually, there is a Microsoft website implies that there are USB ethernet adapters that are WinRT compatible. Maybe I just need a different version. I don't have enough posts to insert a link but if you search for "windows rt compatibility center" (without the quotes) it should come up. It is very possible the site is wrong.

Microsoft's Compatibility Center site lists my Startech USB21000S USB Ethernet adapter as being compatible with Windows RT.
Windows RT recognizes it when I plug it in, and the adapter shows up in Device Manager. But it's still listed as needing a driver. And there's no driver to be found.
Perhaps Microsoft's compatibility list thinks "recognized" is the same as "compatible."
Ok. I stand corrected. USB Ethernet works!
I purchased the "Plugable USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter" and followed the instructions in their blog. It works great. What's even better is that the same driver now works on my "Kensington USB Mini Dock with Ethernet". It automatically installed the right driver.
See the instructions here:
http://plugable.com/2012/11/16/usb-ethernet-microsoft-surface
The downside is that this could conceivably be disabled by Microsoft.

It very well could be, as Asix has now pulled that driver from its site. The latest update from Plugable says that Microsoft does not allow third-party drivers for Windows RT:

I can confirm that the 10/200 usb pluggable ethernet adapter works. You need to download the drivers from their site and add it from the device manager. Not too hard or tedious.

Plugable has been asked to stop providing the WinRT USB Ethernet driver to customers, so the download on our website will be going away soon. We'll continue hosting the driver for a bit longer, to support those who have ordered the adapter and haven't installed it yet, but after December 23, the driver will be taken down. For more information, see http://plugable.com/2012/12/11/windows-rt-surface-usb-ethernet-takedown.
After 12/23, we'll continue to sell and support the Plugable USB2-E100 adapter for other platforms, and we'll keep the installation instructions up too.
We really like our Surface, and hope that this situation can be resolved soon, enabling new drivers for this and other USB devices.

I know it's been a month since this thread last had a post. But, I got my Plugable ethernet adapter in today, dug up the RT drivers that M$ 'banned' and it still works. I've done a few Windows Updates (including 1 firmware update) since MS forced the retailers to pull the driver down and it fortunately still works.
Lets hope they don't "Fix" this.

Just curious, did you try using the adapter first without installing the drivers you saved earlier? Since it has been a month since the last post, it is possible the drivers were incorporated into one of the recent Surface RT updates. Maybe I'm wrong, but after reading a lot of the information on the Plugable website a while back, I don't think MS is trying to stop us from adding new hardware, but they're being cautious about releasing the drivers, and they're holding steadfast on not allowing the drivers to be supplied directly from third parties.
You could uninstall the driver from Device Manager and try plugging the adapter in again if you want to check...
Driver
Just in case anyone misplaced the driver for pluggable.
I bought this and it works fine

So I searched through forums trying to find an answer before posting this. I didn't see a similar post, unless it was embedded pages deep into a post somewhere i didn't see.
One of my relatives has a galaxy tab 2 7". They don't have any internet access at their home for their desktop pc ( like 5 year old hp running win xp, but they do pay for the 4g on the tablet ). Their work went paperless and they want to print off their check stubs at home ( don't ask me why, I"m not going to argue with them ). So they bought a Kodak wireless printer, I'm trying to figure out how I can print from the tablet to the printer. I had them get a router so I can get the printer on a wireless network, but I'm not sure how to print from the tablet once i get that setup. I'm fairly comfortable with networking stuff, just not so much printing with no internet connection ( if they had internet, i would just have them use cloudprint and chrome, or something similar ).
I know as a last resort I can get a microsd to sd adapter and have them save their paycheck file ( pdf i believe ). then take out the microsd, put in adapter and plug into printer directly and print, or plug the tablet into the printer with usb cable and go through that, but I would like to keep this as simple as possible ( pull up check, click print, done ) if that can be done. ( relatives aren't tech savvy, as you should tell not having any internet at their house )
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions?
I think the only way to print from a tablet at the moment is with an app. The only way I can print from my tablet his with the hp printing app to print to the hp printer. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately doesn't help much. I know there are apps that can print, but this isn't an hp printer. and if they had internet access I wouldn't have any problems, but no internet makes things very complicated.
Any other ideas/suggestions?

I would search if they have a adapter for the tab2 to be able to plug in a usb adapter. For my Nexus 7 I use a otg cable and I can plug in usb devices but this is only allowed if the kernel supports it. That's the only other thing I can think of at the moment . Hopefully this is useful.

Take note it's not free, I think it costs around US$12. However you can try the free version to see if it can connect to your wireless printer (check compatibility) if I am not wrong.
From what I see, printing is not exactly a simple or easy task on Android as it's not a feature Google planned for?
I managed to print out this page to Samsung SCX-4825FN connected to the local network, using the default browser over WiFi.

how did you get the tablet to recognize the printer? cause from what I'm aware you can't install printer drivers on the tablet?

only samsung printers? wow that's stupid, manufacturer only supporting their own printer, doesn't do me any good unfortunately, guess I'll just have to go the route of getting a micrsd card and adapter, and taking that out every time and plugging into the printer, wireless just isn't going to work for this scenario
Ok I understand windows 7 is not supported anymore, But I am Not Rich and cannot afford a new PC & a new phone !
So I choose a new phone.
I need to connect a "SM-N986U 5G AT&T" to a "Windows 7 x64" PC via Bluetooth?
While it does connect, Their are No Drivers installed,found, or even downloadable for it ?
Is thier Anything I can do ? Anyone ?
All I wanna do is listen to the audio playing on the phone thru my PC Speakers.
WithOut installing scamsung's software with thier creepy spyware user agreements. I have been doing this for years with a note 3 with no problems.
In developer settings it will Not even let me change the codec,sample rate,etc... to anything other than Scamsungs crappy default Even though others are listed ??
Coming from a Note 3, So far this Is just a fast pretty piece of shi7 ! and that's about it ! Unless you buy all new stuff nothing will connect to it.
Any and All help is greatly appreciated !
Thank Ya'll
You can just play music directly on pc by using YouTube xD or connect the phone with USB cable and transfer the music to pc and play it there.
I don't think you can play music from phone onto a laptop speaker since it does not show up as any speaker on phone.

Thank You Jake S. for a response and your advice,
I currently use a Note 3 to do this It is a desktop with a decent sound card with multiple multiple amps/speakers and I route and control the audio with the phone via bluetooth with no issues But it's drivers are installed and working correctly.
My only issue here is the Note20, although it shows it is connected, the device manager shows No Drivers are loaded or installed. and at this point I can do nothing with the phone not even copy files without plugging it in. witch defeats my purpose.
I am most certain there are no working drivers for Win 7 as MS rendered it useless but I can not afford a new PC and there is nothing slow or wrong with this one except its age, Upgrading to Win 10 is not possible as drivers for all the hardware are not available either. Seems no matter what I do unless I have much money I loose.
Looks like I will have to find another way, And Scamsung DEX will not be it as their user agreement seems really sketchy to me, But maybe I'm just old !

There is nothing wrong with samsung DeX.
Please tell me why you think it's sketchy?

The drivers are there. Public demand drives it.
Many companies will provide W7 drivers for their new products, some may not like Intel.
All legacy drivers are available and more...

Who uses MS support anyway?
I'll be running on W7 for many years to come...
Lol, many are still running XPx64.

Have you read their User Agreement ?
Samsung was caught Spying with their TV's and I am certain they have not changed their ways. These creepy user agreements are why I stay away from most anything new as it has become the norm. Microsux,Gaygle, Assmazon,and many many many others are following this concept. And it seems most people don't mind, But as I said I'm old and still believe in privacy and will only allow what I am forced to.

Thank You for the link as this will certainly help me with another issue I was facing.
I will check with Scamsung but don't expect much from them, and I'll prolly have to agree to some kinda user agreement just to get them. LoL
Again Thank You Very Much for your contribution to my dilemma

You're welcome. It's not as grim as it first seems but you may need to do some leg work to chase it down.
The availible BT codecs for transferring high res music files on the 10+ suck; better to use the C port and stay in the digital realm going into the PC. Especially if you have .wav files or higher resolution audio files.
SKSXS was correct about Sammy's lame EULAs. Read the ones for Bixby or Wearables sometime.
Sammy you suck... and you're so firewall/ PB locked out.

Well thats something else and very old news. Samsung DeX has nothing to do with a tv lol.
But I understand that they did spy with tv and got caught red handed.
Apple is fore sure spying too so is most things lately even cars to for sure. Like tesla giving your daily driving locations and speed information and **** to tesla company so they can sell to 3rd party companies.
If you want to go away from spying get a phone with T9 keyboard then you won't have much spying xD
