what would happen if I plug the usb cable into my a500 tablet and then connect my Captivate glide to it?
I'm too much in tech-love with my new phone (and my tablet for that matter) to just try it blindly.
Has anyone here connected their phone to a tablet?
Thanks

Hey folks,
I've been having a hell of a time getting my tf to connect to the pc via usb these last few days. No matter what I do it will not connect to any pc.
Drivers are installed fine and worked great in the past. The usb cable works fine with the charger and devices charges fine.
If I plug the USB into the pc and then into the TF the screen turns on, so it knows its there but refuses to allow communication between pc and tf on any computer I try.
In device settings USB tethering is greyed out and no matter what I try I cannot get it to allow me to turn it on. Shutdown, held button to reset, restarted pc's, notta.
I recently used NVFLASH to unroot my TF for an RMA that I never got around to doing. Now I want to root again but without the USB working I can't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No one else is experiencing this? Is my cord mucked? If so why does it still work for charging? Eeeeek! I'm freaking out here.

Is usb debugging turned on in the tf settings->application->development?
I have no idea what you're talking about with usb tethering in the settings...
Is the device being recognized by your pc? What operating system?
USB Tethering is greyed out on all TF's. If for sharing data service with another device and you dont have data service on the TF unless you have a dongle.
Have you tried putting into APX and checking. You don't boot the rom when using nvflash. Power / Vol + when booting
Yes, if you think about it Tethering is when you wish to pass your 3G connection be that either through SIM card or Dongle to another device.
If you don't have either a SIM Card with Data services (which you won't have) or a Dongle then it is only correct the Tethering option will remain greyed out.
Hey and thanks folks.
Neither of my PC's will detect my TF but both did just a few weeks ago.
Asus sync won't work either. In accounts/sync Asus sync is off and there is no way to turn it on. Don't know if this is normal or not.
I have USB debugging on but still it won't get detected. Restarted everything multiple times too.
I cannot enter apx mode however I had no trouble doing so before.
Like I said above i can still charge with my cord just no PC connectivity so I don't understand what's up.
As for USB tethering, when USB is plugged in it should allow me to select it (even though I don't want to) thus why I think the problem is related to the pad or cord not the PCs.
Thoughts?

This is not only annoying but it gets more and more confusing. I can connect my other Android devices to a PC and move files between the devices. I should be able to do the same with the Transformer and a PC.

Try new cable,the charging uses other pins/wires in the cable
Already ordered from ncix. Hopefully that's it or I'm out $45 with shipping.

Usb tethering is for sharing the data service on your TF. If you dont have 3g/4g service on your TF then it will not be available. Do you have a conflict listed in your device manager? I have had to reinstall the Asus suite twice at this point and manually remove the drivers from device manager

Well if i connect my usb to pc it will say its charging...
So it's broken nad i get new one? Only for connecting to pc?
My pc wont even notic it. So its proberly dead.
Atleast charging works!
The tablet needs 15v to charge. A normal PC USB port only pushes around 4-5v. It will charge very slowly. If your tablet is on when connecting to PC and doesn't get recognised you might need a new sync cable.

I'm not sure what your question is...but:
The Transformer can only charge from a computer USB port when the tablet is powered off. Even then, it will charge very slowly.
If your Transformer is not being recognized when you plug it in via usb AND it's powered on, check to make sure your drivers are installed.
Assuming you are running Windows:
Hit Start
Search for Device Manager
In Device Manager, you should see at the top "Asus Android Devices." That's what mine shows anyways. If you have anything listed under "Other Devices", unplug your Transformer and see if these entries under Other Devices disappear. If anything under Other Devices disappears when you unplug your transformer, that means your driver is not properly installed. If that's the case, download PDAnet on your computer and follow it's installation instructions. When PDAnet finishes installing, it will have installed the correct driver for your transformer.
I don't know what else to say until you can clarify your question.
I have like ... 6 Usb ports in the front
The first 3 says its charging.
and other 3 doenst even show a a charge icon on tablet. Nor it say its connect on pc.
So i need new sync cable. Sucks xD.
Update i isntaled pdanet and it did show me the not reconize tf 101 ( device i mena)

Thank

Well i cant fix XD

uh no its not that its the cable problem that i found at a min ago
The green cable is well loose. Accourding to wikia pedia its Data + and white one is data- so thast why i couldnt connect.
The green cable was by a yellow one and i think that cause to recharge at the pc lol
I have no clue where the gren cable Should been. proberly by white one.
Try a new cable then let us know if it works. I would recommend an authentic asus cable just to make sure its the cable you're having issues with, not the tablet.

nothing to do with tab its just the cable.
Hi, my TF101 died some time ago and the other day i changed the motherboard and it came back to life.
The problem now is that is not detected by any pc when connected via usb, not even in APX mode.
The usb cable works fine, it charges the tablet but nothing else. Tried a couple of cables, pcs, macs, usb debugging on/off, etc.....
Now it is in stock 4.0.3 and i cannot find a way to root it.
Any idea what can i do to root it?
Thanks!
Anyone? Having stock android is very painfull.... Need help!

Have you double checked everything is plugged in correctly on the board you replaced ?
Cna't remember off hand how to root without USB on stock ICS, but check transformerforums.com - there are a guides on rooting ICS, you might find something
I would look at the USB issue though, maybe just taking the thing apart and connecting it all back up will sort it, could just be a loose connection

Yea i thought about that but if the tablet is charging then the connections are ok, as it's the same flex that connects the port to the mb. Right?

Well it's the same one, but different pins, sometimes people find they can charge but not connect to USB, but a replacement cable fixes the problem
Worth checking imo
My 2 year old original cable still charges but does not work for USB connections. Had to get a new cable. New one works perfectly well.
Hello. I have a TF101 B60 model. It fails booting to recovery. I can not get it to talk to my WIN7, Mint15, WINXP PCs via USB. It does not get recognized by any. I replaced the USB connector, but that did not help. However; I purchased an ASUS USB adapter that plugs into the tablet and has a full size USB port. I can connect a USB thumb drive, serial port adapter and lan adapter to this USB adapter and the tablet will recognize all of them and work flawlessly. This is the part that confuses me. I have three cables. The original and two I got from ebay. None of these cable work connecting to a PC with Linux or WINDOWS. I can not boot into APX mode. I have spent hours looking a posts and most are fixed by replacing the cable. I have to believe the USB part works because of the adapter works with USB devices.
Any ideas on fixing this or on how to flash a new ROM. I am at .27 now. I can't root or flash withour USB?! I have not seen this as successful even using adb. You still need a rooted tablet. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Unfortunately, if you cannot connect using the USB charging cable you will not be able to root. Many of us have tried to find a way to root using the tablet itself. It is not possible.
The USB host adapter may be using different pins than the actual USB charging cable so there could be a bad pin in the tablet connector that is causing an issue with the USB SLAVE when connecting to a PC. Not sure the best way to diagnose this other than try your cable with another Transformer (could be TF201, 300, 700 or 701) to see if it is recognized by your PC and cable.
I've now purchased THREE USB OTG straight cables (not Y) that did not work with my Shield Tablet... Is there some sort of trick i don't know about? Some special kind of OTG cable i need to buy? Some setting i need to enable for it to work?
I've tested the cables both with usb keyboard, mouse and various properly formatted USB drives - none detected at all. They dont work either with my Nexus 4 phone or Nexus 7 2012 tablet (but i suspect those models dont even support USB OTG, so doesnt say much).
Can anyone point me to a straight USB OTG cable that actually works with the tablet?
Are you running the latest OTA , Android 5.1? The OTG is broken in this version. Try plugging in the cable while tablet powered off the booting up. You won't be able to charge tablet until reboot though.

Man, I updated while traveling for 45 days!!! Loss of OTG for thumb drives, hub connection, camera image off load, wired Ethernet....what a loss!!!any word on when they will release software that at least makes it fully functional again? Plus the constant app optimization every boot cycle..I am hoping their self driving cars and self cooking ovens and make believe cities get better attention!

According to their website they expect an update by the end of the month that should fix these issues.
