Since the transformer doesn't have usb without the keyboard dock, i was wondering if there are any apps that work with it that allow transfering files to and from the device via bluetooth, wifi or other method. If so are there other reasons people are concerned about the lack of usb on the device itself?

Hi,
I'm not really concerned with the missing usb....
There is always the microSD card. Also the wifi is good for transfering files: ES file explorer just transfered 313 images from my NAS to the Transformer.
Something that I'm not completly happy about is the MyNet app. It finds my DLNA server on the NAS, but could only manage viewing images and listening to music. Still can't get it to play video.

I discovered the magic of dropbox with my Galaxy Tab. I`d drop stuff into it on my main pc and then access with the Tab whenever I wanted. Great for smaller files like ebooks, PDFs, photos etc
can't you just plug the tablet into your computer?
With mine I just plug the cable that came with the device into my tab, plug the other end into the usb port on my computer and it shows up as an external drive. I just drag and drop.
Did I misunderstand the problem?
You can hook it up to the computer, it just has a propriety connection, it comes with the USB connector cable, it looks similar to the Iphone/Ipod cables if that helps

I don't understand why don't you just plus the USB end of the HDMI cable straight into you laptop/pc USB port and drag and drop any files.
That's another great thing android has over ipoo.
I've used bluetooth fine to transfer files between my Desire HD and the Transformer. In bluetooth settings there's advanced -> FTP server, then use ES File Explorer or something to browse files. Or you can push them the other way using 'send to' 'bluetooth'.
Oh where Oh where?!?

Uhmmm... where exactly?!? In Bluetooth settings, I have:
Bluetooth (On/Off)
Device name
Identifiable (On/Off)
Identifiable duration
Display received files
(Roughly translated from French)
No menu, no advanced settings, nothing.
I have the 16GB, Android 3.2.1 Transformer TF101
BlueTooth Version 6.24
Core Version 2.6.36.3
Build Number HTK75.US_epad.8.6.5.21
Precisions would be appreciated.
Why do you need a wired connection when you can connect using a lot of wireless options, such as:
Direct transfer bluetooth (device - device)
FTP (from or to a server)
SMB (Windows shared files/folders)
Also another great choice is unmount the SD card, and plug it to a card reader on the PC you want to copy things.

Sorry, that option is only on the Desire HD so 'built-in bluetooth file server' must be a HTC Sense thing, not standard Android. It's not in ICS either :-/
If you want to run a bluetooth file server on your Transformer, just download either 'Bluetooth File Transfer' or 'File Expert'. Once the server is running you can access it using the same app or 'ES File Explorer' on the phone.
File Expert will also do FTP over WiFi which will be faster.

I absolutely need BlueTooth. I've got this nifty little device called an Anoto pen, which is able to recors your writings on a specially marked paper. It packages those writings into a file with a PGC extension, then sends it to any moble device using BlueTooth. I have been able to make it work with numerous devices with various versions of Android (2.1 or later). But it won't work with the Transformer. I tried with BlueFTP as well, no go.
It's my impression the Transformer does not implement OBEX or OOP (whichever is needed to receive files) or simply refuses files whose extension it does not recognize. For instance, if I try to send a JPG file via Bluetooth to the Transformer using another Android phone, it works. But if I try, from that same other phone, to send a PGC file, it fails.
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Ah, yes you do need OBEX.
And you're right that only some filetypes seem to be accepted by the standard Honeycomb OBEX receiver.
But you're in luck:
The app 'Bluetooth File Transfer' has its own implementation of the OBEX receiver, you might need to enable it in settings, that one seems to accept any type of file transfer.
Watch for toasts when the app starts (after enabling the setting), if you see one saying that OBEX failed because something else is using the port you'll need to turn Bluetooth off so that the standard Honeycomb OBEX receiver stops listening, then turn on Bluetooth via the Bluetooth File Transfer app so it gets to start its receiver before the Honeycomb one starts.
I managed to make it work with BlueTooth FTP. Just needed to grant SU (again?!?), and it worked right out the box.
Now, on to my CyanogenMod'ed HTC Magic, which has the same kind of issue. Maybe your little trick about the order in which to turn bluetooth off/on will work.
I'll post back my results.
Hey.
Is it possible to transfer a file through bluetooth from computer (computer has bluetooth) to phone?
Thanks.
Absolutely yes. I did file transfer to/from another phone and computer through bt.
I bought a Bluetooth dongle for this exact reason. While it does work, it is way too slow. Fastest transfer speed I've seen is a little over 120 KBps.
so how do I transfer a file from computer to phone, do I have to pair it?
Dependant on the software, there will be a "scan for new devices" button to press on the computer. You might need to make your phone discoverable and this is done via the Bluetooth settings menu on the phone. It will need pairing and then just select the file on PC and send it over.

Hi! I'm running Valhala 1.1, so not sure if this is a problem with that, or with Windows 7, or what, but I paired my phone with my computer, but cannot seem to transfer files from my phone. When I try to send a picture through the gallery, for example, it fails and says "remote device rejected your request". Also, in Windows 7, when using the bluetooth device control thing, I can browse the phone, but only folders show up. NO files, just folders. Any ideas? I can stream music fine, just can't seem to do any file transfers.
I also had a problem like this when trying to send a song to my friend's Blackberry 8520. Im running Valhalla 1.3.2, any solution?
So I've been running CM10 for a while. I just connected my phone to transfer on some music and my internal storage isn't showing up. My sd card is but I can't create a new folder or drag anything onto my sd card.
And when I first connect my phone windows media player opens. Before my phone would act as a hard drive.
What the heck could have happened and how can I fix it??
I received my Pro yesterday and have been unsuccessful in transferring my music to my phone. I currently have a Galaxy S8 with 19gb of music on my SD card. Unfortunately, just popping in the SD card to the OnePlus is not an option. I have a Mac and have tried using Android File Transfer, but after a few gigs it just locks up. I also tried using Airdroid and it locks up also. How the hell do I get my music on this damn phone? I have enabled USB file transfer on the OnePlus. The OnePlus switch app worked well for transferring everything else, but I could not find a way to use it to transfer from my S8 SD card. Any help would be appreciated.
use ShareIt.. or Mi Drop... both are great apps to transfer anything u want from any device to another .-.
Copy all necessary files from your sdcard onto your computer using an SD card reader, and then zip it up into a single file using 7-zip or the native archive application on your computer. Then connect your new phone to your computer in MTP mode and copy the single file onto it. Disconnect the phone and then unzip the file using any file manager (I used solid explorer, available in the Play Store) . I did that for around 50 gigs worth of files without issues. If you don't have a sdcard reader, you could zip up the files on your old phone using the file manager and then copy that to your computer in MTP mode.
I'm pretty sure there are easier ways to do this too, for instance by creating a local network using WiFi Direct and connecting both phones.
Re: Funkeruski
Was just wondering if you were able to transfer all your data from your sd card to your new OnePlus device cuz I'm in the same situation right now, using the OnePlus switch app it's transferring everything EXCEPT my data from my SD card which like you I have a ton of music, pictures and videos on my SD card that I would love to have on my new phone so if you were successful in doing this PLEASE let me know how you did this... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
One of the easiest and best tools to transfer your music is "MusConv" Tool which have many great features to manage all your music
I've transfered over 10gb of songs via windows 10 folder drop
Takes a few hours
And sometime the transfer time won't show until it's nearly done.
I'd suggest dropping them into a folder on your computer then transfering them a few 100 at a time if your having issues
I've used multiple methods as I keep messing up a flash. Via Bluetooth (takes ages but works)
Using programs/apps like dr phone (I wouldn't recommend this as it's just overly complicated to setup.)
Cloud transfers - Google drive, Dropbox ect
All seem to work fine in moderation.
Also a corrupted file can cause issues during a transfer
Have you tried an OTG cable with a SD card reader attached?

I am Leaving my Samsung S9 for a OnePlus 7t Pro 5G I think it was a mistake. There like 2-3 things I can't seem to find an easy solution for. Anyway, the USB to USB C file adaptor that came with the S9 did the trick. I was able to load a USB card reader with the Micro SD card from my S9 and transfer my music over. It took me less than an hour. It was going to take close to two hours just to transfer from phone to PC and maybe another two to the Oneplus. Reading Tifero comment gave me the idea. BTW if you need one Amazon sales USB to USB-C adaptors.

MusConv is one of the greatest tools available for converting any kind of music into any other type of music. It is strongly recommended that you make use of this tool.
