Has anyone been able to run 'adb shell' on a Mac and have it successfully connect to the Epic 4G? When I use adb on my MBP running Snow Leopard to connect to my EVO 4G, everything is fine. However adb will NOT detect my Epic 4G. USB debugging is checked on both devices. Also when I build projects in Eclipse I can send them to the EVO but the Epic is not detected. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I can run it on my Mac no problems. :S Thats weird. I even made a system dump on the Mac.
I have the same issue. The Epic is very finnicky with connections on OS X. If I do get into ADB Shell its only for a few seconds before it kicks me out and then I have to restart the adb server in order to get a few extra seconds of connectivity.

I have no problems. I flashed mine with root the first day it was released when I got home. But I also might have a different version that you. I'm using one that came from the evo section when it talks about part one root and part two nand. There's a win32, linux, and mac zip of adb ad it's needed files. I've never installed eclipse.
Could be flaky usb cable. Or try another usb port. Try reboot phone and computer. Sometimes it gets stubborn and a reboot might help.
Thanks for the suggestions, turns out I had to switch cables ~AND~ USB ports on my 2010 15 inch MBP - I'm good to go! ^_^

it likely will error out for you again in the future, but if its doesnt then thats awesome. I had the same issues with getting it to connect to my mac in any form, it connected for a second or two then disappeared (same with mounting it as a usb drive).
Google "galaxy s mac osx" and you will see you aren't alone.
This is just my opinion and it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Imo, the supplied cable is only good for emergencies or charging (and sometimes it doesn't even do that very well). The only other one I've used was the super expensive one you can buy at a corporate sprint store. Usb to micro usb. Yes it's way over priced, yes you could probably get something just as good or cheaper online, but I'm the kind of person that I want it yesterday. I don't know how good it is but it was a fraction of sprint's was a cable from ultra I saw at compusa. I think it was in the gps/phone/blue tooth headset section. I think it was a three footer for like 10 bucks or less.

Theres a 3,6,12, and one foot cable for those links in that order. I'm doing this from the phone with swype and the hardware keyboard. This can be a real pita sometimes doing this.
Yea, I use the cable from my Nexus One to mount the phone, the one out the box work.

As the OP I should have mentioned - the cable I ended up using was a BlackBerry USB cable - I think that is irony.
The issue might be power, I was having the same issue on my MBA and found using a powered USB hub worked fine, even with the stock cable.

I can confirm the power issue. The only solution for me was a powered USB hub. My 2010 15 inch core-i7 MBP immediately recognized my Epic and I am able to connect using adb. I can finally stop borrowing my wife's Windows machine to mess with my phone lol.
Powered USB links Epic+newMacs.Epic works fine on older gen. But I want a fix update!
Got one problem with the Epic 4G. The phone doesn't connect to the current generation Macs (every other try, it connects for about 5 seconds and then drops out)... and that;s for all new Macs - iMacs, MacBook, MacBookPro, but it does connect to the previous generation Macs. Just walked out of the Apple store and tested it. Bummer, can't tether, can't access memory card unless I open the phone, remove the card, and with an adapter, plug it directly to the computer.... on older Macs, you just plug it in and everything connects perfectly... not on the current Macs! At the Apple store, all they could suggest was waiting for an update from either side -- Android/Samsung or Apple. For now, no connectivity though. I'll try the powered USB, though that feels like a very temporary fix. I'm on a MacBook Pro, and portable most of the time. BTW, yes, both systems are up to date.... oh, hey, just tested.... Powered USB works... still, where can I get a pocket powered USB??
Going a bit further...
Just to expand on the subject. Using a powered USB allows the link so you can access the microSD card. However, I still can't get PDANet to connect for tethering on the current Mac generation. (Again, it works fine on previous generation Macs). Does my cell phone want more power?!
Perhaps it needs more cowbell?
Seriously though, mine needed more power too. I couldn't wait so i bootcamp into windows and use windows.
That's good news
That's good news: If booting into windows will get it to work, that means that the hardware is capable of putting out the power needed. So, it's just a soft/driver issue... not a lost case then. Just hopefully someone in either the Apple side (more likely) or the Android side will care enough to push for a fix.
Hi,
have you guys heard of a phone supporting usb 3.0? With my phone being capable of supporting up to 32GB MicroSD cards I found that transferring data is rather slow. I wish the Nexus Prime would support usb 3.0 but there is no information at all about this.
Probably I should go with a 3.0 card reader and use a MicroSD to SD card adapter to transfer my files...what a hassle...or what do you think?
I don't think microusb has been uptaded to 3.0 yet.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Even if there was some kind of usb 3.0 support, I don't believe even microsd readers would be able to read at full usb 3.0 speeds. Hell, we still a lot of times don't even fully use usb 2.0.
True, but moving tens of gigabytes of music back and furth got me thinking about a faster solution...and then there are the roms for my playstation emulator...too slow with usb 2.0.
If I'm right, there should be this SD card reader that connects to your motherboard but I think that I'm wrong.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
You can buy a USB 3.0 capable card reader online (new so not able to post links yet) but they are quite pricey. I'm sure prices will drop when it becomes more wide-spread.
A quick Google search will point you in the right direction.
You might be waiting till Q4 of 2012 or maybe a lil earlier before you start seeing internal readers in phones that have usb 3.0....But Bluetooth 3.0 is in phones already, so perhaps companies will develop a reader with 3.0 tech sooner or later. Class 10 cards right now seem to be buggy and inconsistent, i've seen threads with people complaining about low speeds and corruption among other things with 10 class cards.
Sorry to bring back the old thread, I am thinking about the same thing.
Does anyone know if the next generation Android phone will have MicroUSB that support USB 3.0 speed?
Transferring a 1.8 movie from PC to the phone takes around 12 minutes, that's ridiculously long.
I wouldn't count on seeing those kinds of speeds anytime too soon.. microSD can't handle it and as other users have said, the class 10 cards are buggy more often than not or don't even reach usb 2.0 speeds.
Does anyone know what the requirements/limits are for using a hard disk drive with the dock USB port ?
I am thinking about getting one of these for general purpose external storage, and it would be nice to get one that works with my transformer too.

well there is no usb 3.0 support so those are out unless you get a backwards compatible one. And you also have to check the power consumption i think it hase to be bellow 15volts but im not sure
As far as I know all USB 3.0 drives are backward compatible.
from what i have read most are compatible with highspeed usb 2.0 but allot less are compatible with regular 2.0 hubs

What. There are 4 kinds of USB (not counting on the go, wireless and eventually others) : USB 1.0, USB 1.1, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
Hi-Speed USB means just USB 2.0, Super Speed is USB 3.0 and the older ones are plain and simply USB.
The theorical top speeds are: 1.5mbps, 12mbps, 480mbps and finally 4000mbps
High speed was briefly and not standardized with USB 1.1 so some device makers had that nonsense on their hubs.
Maybe you misunderstood? Some drives don't like some hubs, but that's a power requirement... If the drive needs x volts and the hub can't offer them because it's already sharing the power with other devices and has no wall plug to get extra power, the drive will just spin up and down without ever starting. 3.5" drives always need their own power adapter, so those always work, 2.5" ones usually draw the power from the USB and as such might be a little hit and miss with hubs, however the Transformer powers them up quite well.
Western Digital makes awesome, reliable, fast and quiet drives, I do have an USB 2.0 My Passport... And several others in various devices

I wouldn't recommend any of those drives. I would instead go with something like THIS HDD, THIS external enclosure and THIS retractable USB 2.0 A-Male to Mini 5-Pin. I have this setup and I also have one with an 120gb SSD. Incidentally, if you go with a SSD there is no motor that has to spin the platters because there's no moving parts so it uses less battery power than the first HDD I showed you. Also I know on the Vantec enclosure it says capable for up to 160gb drives but if you look at the details it says up to 750gb HDD's. I can confirm this because mine is a 750gb HDD.
Got a Buffalostation that works well. If it's the best or not, I wouldn't know.

Thanks everyone. So far It looks like this one is a pretty good choice. It has good reviews and if its confirmed working on the Transformer I might go ahead and grab it.
Hope it'll serve you well.
I just remembered that I had to re-format it to NTFS before the Transformer would recognize it. Just thought I'd let you know.

...but extremely dependable, very effective and lower power consuming than any of those Buffalo drives. I have a Buffalo NAS drive and they're good for that but as for using one for a portable drive I would not. If you're going to use a regular HDD I would at least go with a Seagate or Western Digital drive as they tend to be better drives and are far quieter than any other brand on the market today. Yeah it may be a little more expensive but it's worth it. At least it was for me that is.
i have a 350g western digital that ive had forever.
This drive arrived in the mail the other day. So far, so good; it was easily recognized by the TF. Not sure how fast it drains power as I haven't used it for too long yet, but it's silent. I also have an old 320GB Western Digital drive in an enclosure from five years ago that my TF sees, too. So, I have backups of backups. And that's not including the (2) 32gb cards I'll have once the second one shows up next week.

Only one of the cards is micro; the other is full-sized. No switching necessary.
Has anyone noticed the super slow file transfer speeds one this phone? I just tried to copy a movie over to the phone that is about a gigabyte in size and on my other phones it would usually take a few minutes at most but this phone has been saying "calculating" for several minutes now without any data transfer happening yet.
I have the phone on disk drive mode so I would have thought this wouldn't be doing anything weird like converting the video file on the fly during transfer or anything. It should simply be copying the file over but it doesn't look like it's happening.
This should be a simple feature but it's not working for me at all.
Works fine for me. Much faster data transfers than my DHD.
Of course, I've been moving files via a Mac, maybe there's an issue with Windows + OneX file transfers? Hopefully someone else can confirm.
Speeds have been average for me when compared to the E4GT. These 2 phone are still a faster transfer then my old nexus S. I would say the speed to transfer is roughly 5 min for a 700 mb film. I don't know if thats fast or slow really though.
About 12 ish minutes for 6gb of music. Not bad at all

might want to try a usb port on the back of your computer, or a different cable.
HTC USB Cable
Are you guys reporting fast file transfers (or at least average speed file transfers) using the usb cable that came with the phone or another micro usb cable? This morning when I tried to copy that movie file I was using the micro usb cable that came with my Moto phone (which I thought would be fully compatible) but got those really slow speeds which seemed like it wasn't transferring at all.
My HTC One X micro usb cable was left at the office so I didn't have it with me at the house so I couldn't try it. Now I am at work I guess I can try it with another large file but do not have the movie file I was trying to copy this morning with me.
I notice a change iin file transfer times on my HTC Sensation since upgrading to ICS.
I even tried using TeraCopy, but the time are just as abysmally slow - it definitely wasn't this slow before.
Am thinking to try taking the SD out of the phone and copying directly to that to see if there is any difference.
Yep, that worked, copied to the direct to the card via a card reader very quickly.
I did however choose to fix the bad sectors when that dialog came up, not sure if that helped.

Why the cable could slow down the transfer?
I just bought two of this cables: http://dx.com/p/designer-s-flexible-usb-charging-data-cable-for-htc-174cm-length-73860
And with one of these I sometimes get connection to the computer and with the other connects... but really slow, les than 1Mbit/sec.
Could it be a bad soldering? Could it be that the cable is flat? Could it be that some endpoint is not connected inside the cable?
The original HTC cable is flat: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=196200&phone=196001
I must add that if I use the OEM microUSB-USB cable works perfect.

Hi All
Finally been able to order a TF700 from Amazon in the UK, I'm off travelling around Europe at the end of next week and intend to take the 700 with me, my question is can I take my external 1TB drive with me and use it as storage (for films, music etc)
Thanks all in advance
Should be doable, although much depends on the power consumption of the drive -- I haven't got a portable model on hand to test it for you. A power-hungry model could either drain the battery too fast to be practical, or it may just be plain impossible to power it from the tablet, causing it to just bork out on you.
Obvisouly, a powered model would cope just fine,but that's not very practical when travelling, isn't it? I have read reports of people using external hard drives on the TF700 before, so I guess it shouldn't pose too much of a problem, though.
Off-topic: where are you going?
assuming you have the keyboard dock too, not only for the USB port but for the extra battery capacity too.
but my WD 750gb works just fine!
I'd suggest MXPlayer 'cause the stock apps suck at decoding divx and other random container formats.

Cool thanks, just ordered a Toshiba Stor.e Alu 1TB (ebay special buy) which is bus powered, should both be here on the 2nd so will plug it into the dock to check.
I am heading down to Spain as I have an apartment there then going to see where the mood takes me, I have 3 months off work (well I say off work, taking the Infinity with an RDP program and my iPhone so I can tether the data) that way I can still work from where ever I am!
The infinity + dock seems the perfect device for me, can carry it easily, brilliant battery life and the full qwerty keyboard.
I plugged a 500GB bus powered USB drive into the dock USB port and it works great!
My 2TB Western Digital MyPassport works just fine. I did format it to get rid of the silly software, though. Don't really notice any powerdrain at all.
I've somewhat accomplished this before with a 2-usb hard drive. The main usb port for transferring I plugged into the infinity, and I plugged the port for power into a portable external battery. It was recognized as another SD card on my infinity. It worked flawlessly when transferring 800MB+ files.

Yup. It works. Mine is WD 1TB, connected via USB of the dock.

Not only is an external a great solution, and works perfectly with the dock. It also has a really nice transfer rate. I was getting over 20mb/ps transferring from my 128gb flash drive to the micro sd. I have yet to spring for a 128 sdxc for the dock, but it's on my list.
So far I tried:
- External usb 2.0 disks
- Wireless mouse
- Linksys usb to ethernet
- Usb sticks
The dock's usb port seems to accept anything: even ethernet that allows me to even use my Infinity in the basement of my house (only wired connections there)

I'm one of those people that traded in there TF201 for TF700... I know this was asked and answered early on in the TF201 threads, so I guess I just carried over from there and never bothered asking it again.
For those that care I also had success with a USB 3.0 External right away. It comes with a secondary USB to power cable but that has never actually needed to be used. The USB 3.0 is actually an internal from my laptop in a USB 3.0 case (Put a SSD in lappy ). So long story short USB 3.0 devices should also work but at 2.0 speeds.

I can test it tomorrow, but I would imagine the storage part of it would work. The issues you would run into is not being able to write to it, not being able to play a regular dvd movie as it would have to be mp4 formatted, and other minor issues that require software support.
We already know gamepads, keyboards, mice, flash drives, sd card readers, and other such work..
