Went camping with the kids 2 weeks ago and somehow with the chaos of loading/unloading the kids from the car, the screen/lcd on my TF101 broke
It powers on but I cant make anything out on the display. I plug it into my PC (Win7) and its recognizing it as Media (Portable Device/Portable Media player) therefore not allowing me to browser into the internal storage to pull files that I need to.
Is there anyway I can mount the internal storage in the situation that Im in? I have tons of pictures that I would love to get off this thing.
Could touch be working?
You could hook it to a TV using an HDMI cable. If touch is working you could use a uSD to move all the files you need from internal storage to the uSD looking at the TV.

Hanging head in shame. No idea why I didn't think about this lol.
I'll give it a shot. Don't see why it shouldn't work.
Thanks!

Good luck!
Let's hope touch is working even if the screen is broken

If the device still not dead, just try connect the HDMI.

hello
1st off thanx for all the guides and roms everyone youve helped more then you know
moving on is there any chance an external dvd drive wcan or will ever work with g tablet i cant find any help and didnt know where to post
thanx in advance
owen
Moved to general
Fairly sure that the idea of an optical drive in Android isn't going to happen in the near future unless some industrious person decides to code a driver for it. The idea of a removable media drive (other than solid-state/flash) for Android goes against the grain of the web-centric philosophy behind the OS.
HP DVD
I just tried a AC powered HP DVD/CD drive, model dvd555s-H073
Didn't work.

Actually I think it would work without any kind of driver, since it would be through USB, and should just show up like any other USB drive. I think the main problem is powering a DVD drive through the USB. I tested out my USB only dvdrw drive but the drive was slow to spin up, which makes me think its underpowerered. I think if you had an externally powered usb drive then it might work fine for reading files and moving them onto the gtab (using a file explorer). I do doubt that there would be any way to watch DVD movies off of an external drive if that's what you were trying to do.

I'd expect data(ISO maybe UDF-data) disks to work, but not video disks...
Hi,
I was curious if anyone got an ext hd to work with the usb adapter?
Everytime i plug it in, it tells me a "high powered ext hd" is connected but unable to read..i know it was made for usb sticks and keyboards etc but has anyone gotten ext hd to work?
Thanks!

I found my 1Tb Hitachi Touro was detected to start with but the power was insufficient to leave it on. It was not working after a few seconds of being plugged in. Memory sticks are no problem but the HDD sucked more power than the 10.1 wants to give...
Shame that an awesome tablet that runs rings around just about everything else falls short of my Acer Icona A501 for this...:crying:
I used a 1A externa battery to power an HDD and it worked just fine on the Note. The HDD was NTFS, but I used USB Mass Storage Watcher and mounted the partitions.
To get it ti power on you need a split USB/ power cable.
Yeah, my Acer A700 has this ability but unfortunately the Samsung Note doesn't have the power.
The fix is to buy a self-powered USB hub... Or use high capacity thumb drives.
Or use a hard drive with provisions for external power.
I plugged my ext powered hd but still no luck. Oh wells! Or maybe split line usb and ac like someone recommended
Thanks guys!

Split USB is your best bet. No hub needed, just an external source of power like a portable battery.
Yeah, but it bites my kickass up-to-date sammy tablet is put in its place by my 18 month old Acer Iconia A501 that supports the 1Tb 2.5" HDD with no problem.
I think this bites a bit. Makes life hard If I need more storage than most thumb drives supply...
No how am I supposed to take a veritable video store with me to watch....
If you could run an external hd via USB it would drain the battery pretty quickly.
Nope, get at least 6 hours of watching videos from the 1Tb hdd on the acer Iconia A501... The battery is not as beefy as the SGnote 10.1's either...
Just an oversite by samsung...
Just a pain now having to carry 2 tablets around...

It won't because the Note will not provide power to the HDD, you have to use external power.
Hi All
Finally been able to order a TF700 from Amazon in the UK, I'm off travelling around Europe at the end of next week and intend to take the 700 with me, my question is can I take my external 1TB drive with me and use it as storage (for films, music etc)
Thanks all in advance
Should be doable, although much depends on the power consumption of the drive -- I haven't got a portable model on hand to test it for you. A power-hungry model could either drain the battery too fast to be practical, or it may just be plain impossible to power it from the tablet, causing it to just bork out on you.
Obvisouly, a powered model would cope just fine,but that's not very practical when travelling, isn't it? I have read reports of people using external hard drives on the TF700 before, so I guess it shouldn't pose too much of a problem, though.
Off-topic: where are you going?
assuming you have the keyboard dock too, not only for the USB port but for the extra battery capacity too.
but my WD 750gb works just fine!
I'd suggest MXPlayer 'cause the stock apps suck at decoding divx and other random container formats.

Cool thanks, just ordered a Toshiba Stor.e Alu 1TB (ebay special buy) which is bus powered, should both be here on the 2nd so will plug it into the dock to check.
I am heading down to Spain as I have an apartment there then going to see where the mood takes me, I have 3 months off work (well I say off work, taking the Infinity with an RDP program and my iPhone so I can tether the data) that way I can still work from where ever I am!
The infinity + dock seems the perfect device for me, can carry it easily, brilliant battery life and the full qwerty keyboard.
I plugged a 500GB bus powered USB drive into the dock USB port and it works great!
My 2TB Western Digital MyPassport works just fine. I did format it to get rid of the silly software, though. Don't really notice any powerdrain at all.
I've somewhat accomplished this before with a 2-usb hard drive. The main usb port for transferring I plugged into the infinity, and I plugged the port for power into a portable external battery. It was recognized as another SD card on my infinity. It worked flawlessly when transferring 800MB+ files.

Yup. It works. Mine is WD 1TB, connected via USB of the dock.
I've tried plugging in a standard usb drive (8gb thumb drive) in the usb port before but I can't browse to it in the stock file browser,"external storage"just shows as empty. Do you use a special app for that?

I use a Seagate 2.5" external. It transfers fine and is recognized but playing videos using either mxplayer or bsplayer is imperfect. There is a lot of stutter. My imperfect solution is to rotate out video files on my device.

Not only is an external a great solution, and works perfectly with the dock. It also has a really nice transfer rate. I was getting over 20mb/ps transferring from my 128gb flash drive to the micro sd. I have yet to spring for a 128 sdxc for the dock, but it's on my list.
So far I tried:
- External usb 2.0 disks
- Wireless mouse
- Linksys usb to ethernet
- Usb sticks
The dock's usb port seems to accept anything: even ethernet that allows me to even use my Infinity in the basement of my house (only wired connections there)

Thanks for all the input folks, shall experiment with the dock and hdd when they arrive next week! Quite excited, like a big kid lol
Wow good info in this thread. I never even thought to try my external hd with my infinity dock. Will save a ton of time during file transfers.
I was surprised no one else had asked the question really

I'm one of those people that traded in there TF201 for TF700... I know this was asked and answered early on in the TF201 threads, so I guess I just carried over from there and never bothered asking it again.
For those that care I also had success with a USB 3.0 External right away. It comes with a secondary USB to power cable but that has never actually needed to be used. The USB 3.0 is actually an internal from my laptop in a USB 3.0 case (Put a SSD in lappy ). So long story short USB 3.0 devices should also work but at 2.0 speeds.

I did the same thing with my laptop, but shortly there after, I came to realize that I wasn't using it at all in complete favor of my TF201/700.... Now I've got a lappy with a pretty 120 ssd, and not being used. Coincidentally, I have more space than that in my tablet now...
right so that we have established that external USB hdd's work, what about external dvd drives and other external devices?

I can test it tomorrow, but I would imagine the storage part of it would work. The issues you would run into is not being able to write to it, not being able to play a regular dvd movie as it would have to be mp4 formatted, and other minor issues that require software support.
We already know gamepads, keyboards, mice, flash drives, sd card readers, and other such work..
Hi there, unfortunately nexus 4 don't have micro SD slot for memory card. I thought about how get to device additional memory. At the market there is nice gadgets like Seagate wi drive and other portable WiFi drive. Now I use 3g Wi-Fi router with shared over ftp micro SD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37531070#post37531070
at this link I have review how I to do it. If you have idea about wireless access additional memory, please post here. I'm will happy to see your review and gadgets that's can help improve memory for nexus 4 usage

I had the same problem and here's what I did..
Got a small MP3 player like the Sandisk Sansa Clip+ .. put a 16GB memory card in it and now i'm good to go.
Amazon has it for $30.
SQ will be as good/if not better than your Nexus 4 and you will save on your Phone's battery also.
Would a WI drive work? Not sure how their companoin app works though.

what would be better is if they make a cable or adapter that allows you to plug in a flash drive. much more smaller to carry around in your pocket, backpack, car, or wherever.

You mean OTG? It's not functioning on the N4,,,,yet.
But when, and IF, someone gets it working, check out this.

Thanks! i never looked into an OTG cable. Ive always thought it was only meant for video output.
I haven't used my Infinity in a few months and instead of selling it I'm thinking about recommissioning it as a media player for the living room, but I have a few questions first.
Is it possible to connect a tv via hdmi and have the tablet only playback the video on the tv or will it always play on the tablet itself too?
The keyboard dock has a usb slot, is it possible to connect a usb hub and connect maybe 3-4 hard disks (with external power supply) to it? And if so, what kind of transfer speeds are we looking at? Is 48Mbps realistic?
Thanks in advance.

When you connected the hdmi to the TV, your device screen will be black. Second question is yes, you can plug a mini usb hard disk to the dock usb and play back the movie from the external hard disk and streaming to your TV.

I can confirm the same findings.
Beware. The 4.2.1 OTA broke my HDMI. Evidently it's rare but it does happen. In the process of downgrading now.
