I know there is iDisplay, and I've seen some other threads from the auto-search feature, but I'm looking for a USB based method to use the TF101 as a 2nd monitor which would be very useful (because I like to type out my docs with the data right next to it but my laptop's monitor isn't big enough to have both out in a readable size). I haven't found any other answer other than "iDisplay" and some unanswered threads. Thanks in advance for any answers.
Theres Screenslider that. imo, works better than iDisplay. It doesnt support usb though, only over wifi.
And crazyremote is able to connect to the 2nd monitor on a PC, so you can simply set up a virtual 2nd monitor in windows and then just connect to that. Ive done that when I used a laptop as 2nd screen for my PC (edit: I actually tried for fun to set up all 3 laptops I have as monitor, in addition to my tablet, was awesome hehe )
But again, I dont think it supports USB...
There are quite a lot of alternatives through wifi, but hardly any through USB.
Darn.. It's just that wifi is slower than a USB connection usually, but thanks, I'll try screenslider for a bit.

Hi, i have been reading about this, and i am getting conflicting information, and no real answer.
I have a 2.5" USB hard drive, and was wondering is there any way to plug this into the Magician, and then for the magician to see it as storage. I dont want to use it all the time, just when in the car, and plugged into the Car Stereo.
if its just a case of a lead convertion, then i think it would be simple, but if not.... hmmm.
So if anyone can help i'd be grateful
Thanks

This has been answered several times before, and should be possible to find by SEARCHING..
How ever, because I'm in a good mood, I shall answer..
Yes, it is THEORETICALLY possible.
To acheive this, you must gain USB host on your Magician.
This can be done in two ways: Backpack + CF card with host support or a SDIO card with host support.
This can be bought from several suppliers.
Then, it's the driver issue.
A USB disk should be usable on the WM200x OS, but I do not know the size limit.
It might be about 2GB or it could be lots more.
So in real life; NO you can't use a USB HDD with your Magician.
This MIGHT be possible with the new Universal, but we haven't got confirmation that it has USB host support yet.
---- Edit ----
You might be able to do it if you can get a device that has host support.
Kinda like those gadgets that connects digital cameras to HDDs..
It just occurred to me..
How ever, It might be hard to use the magician to controle the data flow..
You'll probably need two connections to the device.
One for telling the device what to send, and one to receive..
Maybe, but unlikely...
chack out this things:

..this is a pseudo-host controller for PDA but i don't know were can find such a thing...

The PXA27x processor inside the magician does support USB-on-the-go...
If you look at the USB connector in the magician, you will see that it is actually a MiniAB connector...
So, from the pure hardware point of view, the magician should actually be able to operate in host mode and, for example, control an external hard drive/pendrive, or even a keyboard...
The point is, that most likely, there's no usb-on-the-go driver provided with the operating system...
IMHO, I think it be a waste. These devices we have are not meant to host power hungry device like a 2.5' HDD. It be a waste to what our devices would be known as "mobile." I think better stick to SD technology but that is also another issue. As the cards get larger and larger, the more processing time and power is required to fetch data and back.
there could be a way ....
After reading this thread, I think there is a possible way of actually having certain types of storages connect to the xdaii. I've seen some bluetooth 40gb hardadrives that connect to the pc. They connect using two methods. The first method connects the harddrive as a wireless storage device and the other method connects the hard drive as a bluetooth network storage. Now as for the second method, it's actually supported in broadcom's and widcomm's pda drivers. So in theory, your device should detect the harddrive as a local computer on your bluetooth network. But now, the main question is, can the bluetooth data transfer speed be sufficient to allow mp3 playback without lagging and frame drops ?? Well that's one questions I'd sure like to know the answer for. Anyways, just liked to share this info with u, it could be useful to u or for others on this forum. Good luck.
can we use this thing for i-mate jam with sdio wi-fi card:

Hello all, I've been wondering lately if it's possible for an Android phone to be plugged into an external touch screen and be completely controlled via the external touchscreen?
By possible, I actually mean easily done via some basic or maybe not so basic code.
I know some Android devices offer mirroring via mini hdmi, but you usually have to either control using a remote or the phone. I'd rather have it connect through the micro-usb port, lay the phone somewhere else, and fully control the phone through the external touch screen.
I tried to search, but wasn't sure what to use for the search and all I found was ways to remotely control you pc using your device.
no i dont think so....a web application is there for controlling your phone via wifi with the help of router..
Airdroid try it..

Thanks for the reply. I'll give Airdroid a try, but I was looking for a more direct option. I'm thinking there has to be a way since the webtops/laptop docks seem to work well, but again those use mouses/keyboards for control.
I am hot on this idea too
I have a lilliput 4 wire resistive screen that i want to use a carputer.
I have seen one solution that is stuck in "coming soon" that requires some manual intervention called customgadz...google it. It's expensive.
I have googled endlessly to try and find a way to input the Liliput directly into the Atrix HD dock as a USB input but the touch screen needs to be calibrated.
So i've resorted to emailing liliput to see what they say.
Hi all!,
I have to transfer about 10Gb thought USB from a XP pc.
The problem is that it seems that after 10min (more o less), the connection is broken (I think it's to charge the tablet) so I can't transfer the whole data.
Is there any method to avoid this behaviour?
I tried to deactivate the auto turn off of the screen but it didn’t work. The only way is to use the tablet during the transfer but since it takes a lot of time I would prefer another method.
Any idea?
Thanks!
PD: I was reading the foro for a long time but this is my first post!
Strange ! I've got no trouble copying movies from PC to TF700 in USB (both on XP and 7)
But I found a faster to do this : Airdroid (Wifi)
Install apk on your tab. On your computer, open navigator and go to web.airdroid.com.
Enter the password give by your tab.
Enjoy !

I use airdroid for my transfer as well. I don't think screen turn off should matter. But in any event, how about giving a try on airdroid and make sure you have WIFI set to on always even when screen is off. Usually 1GB file takes I believe somewhere 5-10 minutes for me so by simple math 10GB may take up to 50 minutes to an hour and half. Alternative would be to simply copy to microsd.
If it is a shared drive you can use ES File Explorer to copy.

Try enabling Performance mode - otherwise when the screen goes out that tablet might automatically disable the USB port after a certain amount of time to save battery.

ummmm....then, I'll try to unplug the others usb devices just in case there are some kind of interference...
Thanks!
(airdroid is not a solution for me....I don't know if my desktop has wifi (it's plugging directly to the wifi router, will it work?), anyway after the last news, I'll wait and if JB doen't fix the issue, I'll try to use airdroid)
If you have the dock and a USB drive you should be able to transfer to the drive first and then to the tablet. It's an additional step but it may work in your case.

Ok, I'll try it and tell you the results!!
ES explorer can be another possibility.
Thanks a lot!
Get a 16 gig micro sd card with full size adaptor. Transfer the files directly from pc. Probably the fastest way to do it. If you have usb adaptor you can use a usb drive and do the same thing.

Airdroid does not require both devices to be on WiFi, it requires both devices to be connected to the same router / LAN. IOW, if you connect your tablet via WiFi to the same LAN as your computer is connected to, it will work.
OnAir is another solution as well, but works slightly differently - it creates a temporary FTP daemon that runs on the device that you can then connect to. Again, same LAN for best results.

Kewl, let us know.
I frequently use the hdmi adapter cable to plug my s3 in to an external screen for videos and msg throughout the day.
my question is: is there an app that turns the screen into a laptop style touch/gesture pad? i use a bluetooth keyboard with it all the time, and if i could just use the screen as a touchpad, it'd save me from needing to purchase a bluetooth mouse.
i have searched google and this site, but i believe i may be using the incorrect search terms. i cannot be the first person to think of this! thanks in advance!

For videos and messaging, I just skip the screen mirroring and use Airdroid. It puts all the info in a desktop view and eliminates the need to even have the phone nearby.

Daemon, I appreciate your input, but that's not what I want. I do not have or want the screen that I connect the s3 to connected to another computer. I simply wish to use the touchscreen on the s3 as if it were a laptop style touchpad for itself, so I do not need a bluetooth mouse.
On a similar note, I am looking for an app, that would allow me to change the resolution of the operating system, or at least certain apps (like browser, etc) so that when I have the s3 plugged into the screen, it looks more like a computer's view- not like just mirroring the phone view onto a bigger screen.
Thanks in advance!
I've been searching for a couple of days now, and I cannot find anything useful. I am working in a corporate environment. I have a PC with a direct Ethernet line to the internet and internal networks. I do not have wifi available, but I do have a BT adapter of my own installed on the PC which works.
I take a lot of pictures for visual aids and work instructions here, which I use my LG G2 for exclusively. I cannot stay tethered to the PC via USB all the time, so Bluetooth is my only real feasible option for wireless transfer. What I would like is to have the photos I take transfer immediately to the host PC without having to initiate it. Bluetooth takes quite a while to transfer large files, but there should be enough time between taking each picture to allow the transfers to complete. I cannot afford the bandwidth on my carrier to upload through the internet either. Does such an app or mod exist to achieve this functionality?
Thanks!
Michael
Use Software Data Cable.
It w9bt Hog your Data.
And also affort it
Hit Thanks.

Thank you and I appreciate the effort, but as I stated above I do not have wifi available on my work PC. Also, this app does not immediately transfer to the PC, which is the functionality I really need. I'm guessing from the lack of responses, such a thing does not exist yet. :-\

I think Bluesharing for Bluetooth may do what you're looking for. This is a paying app though. I've not tried it myself, so try at your own risk.

One personal note on this: this type of app is bound to drain your battery within minutes. I would personally go for a solution to manually sync once or twice per day using the USB connection, using a bat file or similar to automate some of the transfer. Just my personal opinion.
