ok guys i just wanted to ask a question about the tablet itself, if i'll buy it i'm probably using it also to develop with the arduino adk board.
i don't want to buy the dock so i'll buy the usb adapter to get the usb port, will that adapter be compatible with usb host?
ok i red something about it and i found out that it does so thank you all...

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.
hey everyone, so i have been reading around and there are alot of people talking about the usb extention for the asus transformer.
Here is my thought: what if you used your existing usb charger/data cable and then but a female to female usb adapter on it? this has just been in my mind for a while and i saw that the adapter would cost around 3 instead of 20 for the asus branded one.
has anyone tried this or should i just get the adapter made by asus?
For $3 why not just try it and let us know?
I'm pretty sure this will not work, since the adapter has additional circuits to put the tf in usb otg (on the go) mode, which is the usb host functionality in plain english.
Yo will need an usb 3.0 cable. It won't work with a normal (2.0) one
As alluded to above, 2 different things.
The usb3 cable is an extension, the adapter is a hub (adding usb to the tab).

thanks, i was just curious. Do you know where i could order one of the asus ones to canada?
My friend has a USB internet stick which gives her internet access in remote areas.
We already have 40 pin usb to male usb with the tf700t.
Could I attach that male usb end to a female usb connection then to a male internet usb stick?
cheers.
I think that the USB stick requires software that might be not designed to run on the Android OS. Even if you can get the tab and the stick communicating, there's really very little likelihood they will work together. Many USB sticks have their own software in addition to the drivers needed for actually talking with the OS. Until it says "For Android" on the USB Stick's box, I think it's a no-go.

Check out the a500 forums. I dont remember specifics, but there are usb data sticks there that will work. This was one of the main tablets that had a build in USB host port.

Good call! Maybe try this thread?
While this does not address the use of a internet connection USB thumb drive it will address the topic of "USB on tablet possible without keyboard dock."
There is a Asus addon that plugs into the 40 pin connector to use it as a USB port. Amazon link - ASUS USB Kit for Eee Pad Transformer TF101, TF101G, TF201 & TF300 Tablets
In the reviews some say it is fully usable on the TF700.

I own one of these and use it with a hub to plug in a full size desktop keyboard and mouse. Also, they're cheaper at Microcenter.

Also, if you can get a cheap Charging cable from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GJR7GS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00) anda cheap USB cable, can't you just make your own by splicing/soldering the wires and using some shrink tube?
It would be flexible and you can make it as long as you need it to be. I feel like having their adapter + a USB stick would stick out pretty badly from the bottom of the tablet
I was wondering the same thing - would be a lot less clunky if you could just attach a female to female usb adapter at the end of the charging cable to avoid having a big brick sitting on the side of the tablet.

Me too
Not for internet access just for a thumb drive or card reader.
I had the A700 that would see most stuff;
Wired or wireless mice
Keyboards
32 gig data stick
SDHC card reader
etc
I did try a TPLink wireless data stick in the ACER, yet it was not recognized by Andwoid ICS.
Asus does sell a "converter" to convert the docking port to a USB port - sounds like that would do the trick for reading thumb drives, etc...

I'd like to buy the 40 pin thing for cheap, pop it open and see if there is a circuit interface inside.
I think it's big because of the female USB A plug built into it.
Wonder why Asus just doesn't offer the plug with a wired dongle?
Hey all
I am sure this has been discussed but I cant seem to find it. I will ask my question and if someone can direct me to the appropriate forum or answer my question I will be very great ful.
I have the asus tf300t without the pad. I am wondering if I can connect an ethernet cable to the micro hdmi slot to be able to get internet.
I am assuming I would need an ethernet to usb adapter and then a usb otg micro hdmi piece. Would this work and is there such a thing as the usb otg micro hdmi? I have only been able to find usb otg that is micro usb.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you all and keep up the great work!
You will need the USB converter. They are easy enough to find on Ebay or Amazon.

The you will need a USB to ethernet adapter.
BobjGear USB to RJ45 Compact Fast Ethernet Adapter made for Android Tablets; also works with Ultrabooks, Windows, Linux, Mac, ChromeOS, MK802, UG802. BobjGear One Year Adapter Limited Warranty Included.

Please note that these are just some of the random ones I found online and may not be the least expensive out there. Do a little shopping and you may find them for less $$.
Be cautious, not every USB>RJ45 adapter works. I bought one from some Chinese website, but it didn't work on my TF300. But I must add that I'm still on 4.0.3., so perhaps it's just a matter of getting my TF up to date.

I need to get a USB to Ethernet adapter working with my HTC One S (T Mobile) and I am really struggling to figure out how to make this work.
I have the Apple USB-Ethernet Adapter, model number MB442.
That does not work inherently with the phone. It does work on my Asus Transformer, but not with the phone. I believe that the chipset in this adapter is the USB AX8817X.
So my question is, do any USB to Ethernet adapters work with the phones out of the box? And if so, which ones?
I'm relatively new to Linux/Android development so I don't know how to figure out if this chipset will work or how to compile and install drivers for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
