For some reason my Media Scanner isn't working and updating the libraries. I checked for .nomedia files and there were none. What could the issue be?
Are you talking about the stock gallery? Quickpic detects everything fine for me, I never use the stock anymore.
Well yeah the built in Android one.
I create folders and download files on the tablet but I can't see them on my PC over MTP until I restart the tablet which fires up Media Scanner.

Oh, there's your problem. I never use the PC connector stuff, it's notoriously unreliable and slow. Personally, I'd recommend a microSD or airdroid to transfer stuff.

I don't think that's the case here. My Samsung Galaxy 10.1 runs Media Scanner when files are changed and have never had this issue.
Also the default music player does not see new files added until the tablet has been restarted.

Ooooh, I see your point. I meant the ASUS tablets' file transfers are unreliable (this was the case with my prime too). I don't really know what the problem might be. Have you tried upgrading the normal stuff (upgrading firmware, factory resets)? Also, I've heard good things about the beats ROM in the dev section.

I am running the latest .26 firmware and have tried factory reset. I've not flashed a custom recovery yet, so not going to be able to try custom ROMs just yet.
File transfers for me have been fine. I created a folder on the tablet (via ES File Explorer) and then had to reboot the tablet before this folder was visible on my PC via MTP. I then copied 20GB to the tablet without a hiccup.

Connected the Xoom 2, to a windows 7 machine.
Insists on letting installing 'Motocast' which I let it...what a complete pile of shi*.
I want to 'sync' a 700MB .avi video, over usb cable, to the device...estimated time? 30 minutes!!! I swear this complete toss of software is insisting to re-encode the entire file to some bullsh*t format of their choice. Is there an option to turn this off and transfer it natively?
Secondly, thankfully, it also installs native 'portable' device drivers, allowing Windows 7 file explorer to browse the device. Great, so I copy the same .avi file and paste it to the device...'Do you want to copy xyz.avi? Your device might not be able to play this file' I am prompted...'yes' I click. Just as it finishes copying (after about 4 minutes...much better) it bombs out, notifying me that because the device cannot play this file it is cancelling the transfer...wtf?!?!
The only interim solution i've found is renaming the extension '.avi' to something like '.proprietrysoftwarecansuckmyballs', copying it, then renaming it back to '.avi' once transfer has completed solves this.
So can anyone offer any 'clean' solutions to my file transfer woes? If theres no improvement, this device will be getting returned next week, which is a shame as the tablet is a great bit of kit, its just a shame the software blows.
Look for "Wi-Fi File Explorer" in the market.
This looks like it only transfers over wifi?
I need to transfer over usb cable.
Had this problem myself, looks like it doesn't come with the drivers. After a bit of searching, I found that the standard driver package works:
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...al_Drivers/MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.exe
Installed that, unplug the USB cable and put it back in - should work fine!

Hey thanks man, that worked a treat.
Just for clarification, does you still prompt you that the device may not support playback of the file, but then successfully transfer it (whereby it would previously error at the last second)?
No idea - haven't had that particular part of the issue myself - the main thing I had was the slowness...

I guess the same way will work to linux too . Xoom2 has only one partition on the disk ? that the reason not to be able to mount it as a normal usb ? If you root the device is the anyway to great a small 2 Gb for ex partition to use it for easy transfer ?

Useless tablet ?
In fact it's worst!
As a Linux User I hoped being able to use MTP... But I tried mtpfs and mtp-tools on several distributions without any luck.
But what is worse is that FTP server applications won't work too! I tried SwiFTP, FTPServer, and some other: the servers are not reachable. It appears that not even a single ping can reach the tablet. I think Motorala have put some kind of firewall in it (maybe it has something to do with the netflix HD certification?).
For me this tablet is actually useless. If I can't find a way to transfer some files on it without using MotoCast today or tomorrow, I will bring it back to the supplier...

You probably hit it on the head about the Netflix certification. I would think about returning it, man.
a solution ?
Thanks to a French forum (frandroid, in the Xoom 2 topic... sorry I can't send links here), I tested a solution to the transfer problem: It is possible to use (on the computer) a server to share the files such as a samba server.
It works fine. But it's not as easy to browse, select, copy and paste file with explorers on the tablet than it is on computers (several windows, keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-c/v, and so on).
But it's now possible to exchange files with the Xoom 2ME without going through a cloud or using Windows/motoCast.

Sorry for answering so late.
The screen is quite good.
The battery life is terrible compared to my ipad2. Charging needs a lot of time and is very slow. I guess it's because of mini usb only.
Currently i'am using the device as a Kindle Fire replacement, because off the lightweight (KF is heavier and bulky). The books i usually read have more weight than the device itself.
I like it for that.
But i may not be a good adviser because my device is a prototype. It is not smooth and the speakers are terrible.
I think 8,2" is the perfect size for me. The weight is so much better than any other tablet i had.

Try using a terminal on the Xoom 2 and ping the computer you're trying to connect to, while pinging your Xoom 2 from that computer at the same time. It's like you have to force them to see each other before they can start connecting in future.

I've seen a post somewhere here about having multiple copies of folders and files in the phone's internal storage, but I'm not able find it any more. Every time I move a ROM in my phone's internal storage, then CWM it, I always notice that the ZIP has a "clone" with the same size as the original; however, it is not a ZIP file: it just says "File". This applies to ALL the files in each folder, including music and video files. Can someone give me insight and enlighten of this problem?
Additionally, would I be able to rid of all these extra files, or would it make my originals unusable?
I've not seen it myself. But i think the extra files are just "ghost" versions and are not really there. But i could be wrong.
Do me a favor and try putting the sd card in a computer and see if the extra files are there. Could you also upload a screen shot of the issue. I've been trying to track this one down for a while.

You actually can't see it through file explorers in the phone itself, but only when connecting it to a computer. AND LOL I deleted a "copy" of one of my clips which resulted into an error when trying to play it.

are you connected using UTP or MTP (does it show up like a USB thumb Drive on your computer, or does it say its a "media Device"?)
also, have you tried copying the files over to your desktop and seeing if they work when one is deleted?

AHA it's cool. I just want to know how to fix this slight problem cuz it's bothering me every time I move a new ROM into my phone! AND It's connected as a Media Device.

YOO! OMG the extra files aren't there any more! I am certain now that this is a problem with AOKP ROMS, including the new Genesis! This make sense because I've never encountered this problem until I got addicted to AOKP since it's first ics release for the G2X. I can't confirm for other ROMS, however, except Hellfire Sandwich 1.6, because I'm currently using it right now.

Has anyone had any success in using Wifi File Transfer Pro, with uploading files to the memory card? I tried to move a 2.6gb mkv to my memory card from my pc, via this app, and it wont work. When i tried with the free version, it said i needed the Pro, so i got the Pro, and still nothing.
I know i can do this File Manager HD and ES, but i wanted to try this out.
I don't know about Wifi File Transfer, but I use WiFi File Explorer Pro just fine. The only issue i run into is on my work LAN, where the network prohibits it.

i have the pro version and use it on all my android devices. it works like a champ for me and i highly recommend it to others. i have moved a lot of things, but not sure if if ever moved 2.6gigs at one time. i would try to break it up if possible. not sure what mkv is so excuse my ignorance with that.

Hello,
How are you?
So today I started to wonder...
I currently have an iMac computer.
I bought it to edit pictures when I was into photography.
But I since lost interest in photography and slowly sold all my camera gear.
Currently I only use the web browser and iTunes.
I don't need to work on my computer at home. I don't produce documents nor do anything creative. For work I have my office computer.
I don't use applications, as I use Google services through the web browser.
So, I was thinking about selling the computer, buy a nice tablet like the Asus tf700 and keep some money.
My only question is if the tablet is any good to handle my files on the external hard drive, mainly music MP3 libraries and pictures.
Can an app like ES file explorer allow me to create folders, rename files, move them around like finder on a Mac or windows explorer?
Can a tablet read and write files to my USB external HDD?
What do you think of this idea?
Cheers

Based on your detailed description, a tablet sounds like it will be sufficient for you. But i warn you, it is a significant jump. My 6yr old Dell laptop started acting wonky, and I replaced it with the Asus TF300 in May. It wasn't until September where I truly noticed the productivity advantages.
Also, Asus tablets come with MyCloud, which has Splashtop HD installed by default. Use it. It...is...awesome...and very useful. You still get the "computer" experience from it. Keep that in mind.
for your current demands a the most tablets should be enough but if its potentionaly that your demands could change in the newr furture, you should maybe consider one of the coming W8 Tablets
One thing that I did forget to mention. There are a selected few things that computers do MUCH better than tablets, and probably will never change. Try taking a PDF file with over 200 pages, and search for a word (doesn't matter what word you choose). Your computer is capable of finding all of the instances much faster than your tablet would. Windows and Macs are better at handling numerous files simultaneously than Android. There are some things that I would still turn to the computer for.

Hi guys,
I have a Note 10.1 N8010 with Omega v2.1 rom.
I'm using ES File Explorer to manage my files, and I have noticed something very wired. When I'm copying a file from my NAS drive to my tablet, the transfer speed is about 400kb/s (which is very slow!!!). I have a SGS2 with ES File Explorer, and the transfer speed is 2.5MB/s.
How can it be? I have also tried it with Astro and the results are the same. I haven't tested it on another rom yet, but before I do that, I would like to know if someone else have/had this problem?
I look forward to her from you guys.

I have the same problem, with my N8010 and SGS2, both using ES as you are. Except my problem with the Note is far worse, typically 20-30kB/s is the transfer speed, when the SGS2 just flies. I can often get the speed to pick back up by disabling and re-enabling the WiFi, and this will work for a while, but it doesn't take long for the speeds to suck again.
I've tried different channels on the router and changing the 802.11 a,c etc, but everything I do results in a temporary speed boost, nothing makes it work properly permanently.
Interesting! Are you using the same Omega ROM?
Mine N8000 series (3G version).
The file transfer is between 1MB - 5MB depending on the size/amount of files transferred.

Nope, completely stock (unrooted and rooted, no difference).
I'll try a different manager and see what happens.
UPDATE: No change. Pathetic speed, unless I dis- and en-able WiFi, then it's fast again (using X-plore this time). It's OS or hardware, I think, not an app problem.
I must agree with you NFGman. I believe the speed can be better.
It must be a driver related somehow, maybe a different Kernel will do the trick (If there is one!?)! I'll try to look for another Kernel and test it again, and I suggest you do the same.
