Do anybody know how to keep energized the USB ports of the dock while is closed???
I want to charge my phone via USB with my transformer stored in a schoolbag.
At fist time I thougth it was by hardware I mean a swich that turn off the USB ports when you close the tablet and dont care to much about this, but when I update my Transformer to ICS and put the option to keep active while is charging in developer options I note that even when my Transformer is closed with the dock it is still charging my phone via USB but only when Transformer is charging or conected to a PC.
So, anybody know how to keep active the tablet when its closed and no USB conected??????
An app???? A script that can run in terminal???? because I try with keep the screen on setting but didnt work.
Hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
Try enabling the option to keep the wired network active when sleeping. I found that this seems to keep the USB ports active (although it also completely disables deep-sleep on the tablet, so there are battery trade-offs)....
Only problem is that I think that you need to connect a USB->Ethernet adapter in order for the option I'm talking about to appear (actually so that the entire "Ethernet" menu appears)...

Hi,
I did a search on this forum and on google but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I'm thinking on getting the eee pad only and without the dock for android game development. But since i'm new to android programming i need your help to clarify somethings for me. My questions is:
from what i read the eee pad doesn't have USB port. how do i run adb to it then? how do i upload my apk?
thank you for your time.
cheers!

The Transformer pad doesnt have extra usb ports for connecting other devices to the pad. The docking station has 2 extra ports that allows you to add other devices to the transformer (like USB pens, USB HDD, Etc etc). The Pad comes with a USB cable that is for charging and connecting to the PC. Thats the cable you shall use to upload files to the TF and use adb on.

It doesn't have a host usb port without a dock. You just plug in the usb cable that comes with it to the connector on the transformer, and plug in to your pc.

Lol.
But using the charging port i can mount the tablet storage on computer right?
Also has anyone tried connecting the mini HDMI to a TV or LCD Monitor? as far as i know tegra doesn't have hardware accelerated h264 decoding? and from what i read the best you can get is 1080p using baseline encoding? please correct me if i'm wrong
cheers!

You welcome.
Yes the charging port is like on the Ipad a normal usb plug. Ofc you cant charge the TF at same time is connected to the PC. Since the transformer needs alot of mAmps to charge and the computer cant provide that (not the normal Motherboards, u need a board with charge capability).
Both the TF and the docking station has this special door for connecting the USB cable.
I havent tried to connected yet the TF to the TV, so i cant comment on that.
Just as the title suggest has anyone successfully attached a HD 2.5 drive to the TF using a USB coupler to the tablet? I have a Seagate Go Flex 500 gb 2.5 drive but since the tablet itself has no usb port to attach the HD I would need a USB coupler to connect the cables, would the tablet's proprietary cable supply power and even recognize the HD using a coupler?
Please advise.
Edit: Nevermind me... misread.
I don't think it will work.
There is a thread in general you could search for with a list of usb devices people have tried to use without the dock.

Yeah, just checked out that thread, doesn't look like any HD connected with a coupler works, I am not sure about the dock but I remember some guy on utube was able to via the dock. I am planning to get the dock after 2 years when the batt on the tab wanes, no big deal, would have been nice having an HD attached without said dock.
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

I have done the usual search and nothing hits the nail right on the head for this question. I want to usb tether my transformer to my nexus one phone so that the phone can charge off the awesome power supply that the Transformer has while the Trans utilizes my 3g. I know I can plug the phone in to the transformer whilst the transformer is using the WiFi tether but this is hardly efficient and the battery in the phone doesn't really gain charge. My searches seem to find somebody did this on the A500 and it requires maybe a module in the transformer kernel to get it done. Can somebody please clarify and if this is the case maybe suggest a kernel that might work. I am currently using a Krakd ROM(pre ics) on my transformer. Please no suggestions on extra batteries plugging in my phone to charge it etc, thanks.
Bump anybody got any idea
Hey everyone,
I am doing a bit of research on how to power on an Android device without the use of a power button. In a sense I would like to power the device on, using some other type of device that would be directly connected via the USB port.
I hope this makes sense, any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Doubtful, because I don't think the USB port is getting any juice with the device turned off... So it wouldn't detect anything.
