so i just made a usb host cable.
connected red/red, white/white, green/green & black/black-brown
I tried connecting my DSLR (T2i) didn't get anything.
I connecting the SD card through a card reader, didn't get anything.
I tried connecting my wireless usb mouse, didn't get anything.
left the mouse usb signal plugged in while trying to figure out what is going on. (do i have a bad cable or am i just plain not doing something right..)
well, after not finding anything i useful, i disconnected the usb host cable and tried to wake up my xoom....
nothing. tried holding the power button to turn it on... nothing. plugged in the charger.... nothing.
so i'm hopping i'm missing something here, or did i just royally screw up my xoom with my home made usb cable?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
Just got my Infinity+dock, and I have a few questions:
(1) With the dock connected, there is a persistent notification of "Docking connected". It's quite obvious to me that the dock is connected: I can see it, I can see that the dock battery is charging, I have a mouse pointer, etc., so I don't really need this notification. However, I can't figure out how to turn it off.
(2) Similar to #1, with my MicroSD card connected, there is a persistent notification of "External storage inserted". Again, I know it's inserted, I put it in there. Is there any way to turn this notification off as well?
(3) I am having an issue charging the tablet and/or the dock via the included USB cord. If I plug the cord into a different wall unit or into my computer, the USB won't charge. (However, I know that it works because I've successfully connected the tablet to the computer.) The only time I can successfully charge anything is if I use the included wall unit. I would appreciate some help, as I can't see why a different wall unit or my computer won't charge the tablet/dock.
Thanks in advance!

(1) and (2)
- go into settings menu and click on ASUS customized menu
- Scroll down and to Use ASUS Quick Setting and uncheck the box
- Now click in the bottom right of the screen to bring up the quick menu
- With the quick menu up, click anywhere in the top portion of the menu (where you see the time/day/date/wifi/battery) and this will expand the menu vertically
- Toggle notifications to OFF
* keep inn mind this will also turn off notifications for emails/sms....
(3)
I only use the included wall charger so i cant comment on other wall unit charger. As far as charging via USB, no issues here using the included USB cable. Any chance you can trying another USB cable or trying a different USB port on the computer?

hhhhmmm...just notice the following
The tablet does not charge via USB to computer, it only connects to allow transfer of files between tablet and computer. The tablet only charges if:
1. USB cable is plugged into wall charger unit and connect tablet or tablet with keyboard dock
2. If tablet is docked the keyboard and plugged into computer via USB.....however, only the tablet charges.

Your comment about (1)(2) is not true. This will not get rid of the persistent notification at all. The only way I am aware to get rid of them is with some custom roms. I can not comment on the third part though. I do not have knowledge in that area.

Actually, it *does* get rid of the notifications for the dock and SD card. Problem is (as the OP states) that it stops *ALL* notifications, which makes it a not-so-desirable "solution" to the problem...
Trust me - I just tried it and the keyboard and SD icons disappear completely...

The notifications:
I would have never in a million years found that setting. However, turning off the notifications didn't turn off the "docking connected" and "external storage inserted" notifications. I tried restarting but still no dice.
Charging:
I only have the USB cable that comes included with the tablet. I tried different USB ports, but I can try other computers. However, I had a thought: the best computer I have only has USB 2.0; maybe USB 3.0 is required to charge the tablet?
It still doesn't explain why it won't charge if I plug the cord into a different wall unit: for instance, an Apple wall unit or a 4-USB wall unit that I have.

I wonder why it worked for you but not for me. Regardless, it's not that big of a bother that I'd want to do something so drastic as getting rid of ALL notifications...

Tablet requires 15V(correct me if I'm wrong) which is supplied by Asus accessory wall plug.
Computer's USB ports does not supply enough voltages to charge the tablet, however I haven't tried USB 3.0 port to charge the tablet it might work but I highly doubt it will.

Firstly, I'm asking on behalf of a friend (saves him signing up) so I don't know all the details
Anyway... I recently gave him a Car USB charger (I had one lying around) which I tested out in my car using my HTC Desire HD....just to make sure it worked...& it did
(not sure but I THINK the cable I use is a standard USB to MicroUSB cable - not sure if it's a 'Data/Charging' or just 'charging' though)
However, when he tried to charge his Samsung phone (sorry don't know which one) it didn't
(BTW he is using his own cable he had lying around)
He tells me that he plugs in the cable between car USB charger & the phone - the screen brightens, but the charging indicator doesn't 'animate' & after a few second the screen then dulls back down into standby
Now I suspect that perhaps it's the cable - but he assures me that the cable he used worked on the PC. making me think it's a Data/charging cable
I know there's a difference between 'Charging only' cables and 'Data/Charging' cables, something about a couple of pins may not be connected but onto my question.....
[Q] IF he was using a 'Data/Charging' cable on the car charger
- would his phone assume it's being connected to a PC & automatically go into 'data connection mode' but then (because there's no data) the screen then 'dulls' back to standby mode ??
- If so, why won't the phone go into 'Charge only' mode if it doesn't see any data signal instead ??
BTW On my HTC - if it sees data connection I get a popup asking what mode I'd like (if unlocked) but it automatically goes into 'charge' mode if it's locked - I'm thinking his Samsung does the opposite when 'locked'... going into 'data mode' instead
Thanks in advance
How do I connect my Android TV stick to my laptop? It has no reset or power on button. Just a microsd slot and two USB ports: a regular one and a mini usb one.
Hi can you tell us a little more about your device what make brand ect ect also some photos would really help
yes model number would help a lot.
usually it is going to be connected via the regular USB connector to the PC. Then you should see the internal and/or external SD cards as part of your computers resources.
Power on and off is by plugging in the power source, which sounds like it is micro-usb. Then remove to power off.
additional tips...
Some additional tips; I hope they can help...
In the OS settings, under "Device", subheading "USB", make certain that "connect to PC" is checked.
Also, if you use a microUSB-to-USB cable to connect the dongle to your PC, make certain you use a cable that you know has all four wires internally connected.
- I was going nuts one time, trying to figure out why I could not get the stick PC to connect over USB, and it turned out I was using a cheap microUSB-to-USB cable that was intended for power ONLY. (it had only the two power wires in the cable, and not the two data wires). Swapping the cable out solved that dilemma.
Cheers!
Dear,
I am trying to connect my logitech F310 via USB OTG.
When I plug it in, the power light on the controller is still off. However, when plugged in to the PC, it turns on.
Whenever I plug in a keyboard, it works fine. USB flashdrive power light is on but I can't read data from it.
My OTG cable is only powered via the phone, is it a possible solution for me to solder two extra wires for some extra power?
Thanks in advance!
