*.doc or *.docx? Any special formatting in the document that could've screwed things up? Does Word open the document off the flash drive without any issues?
Either way, it's (probably) not a TF700 issue, it'd be a Polaris problem so best to ask the developers and send the document to them so they can look into it.
If you have to open it, I'd email it to myself and open in Google Docs.

It's a Polaris bug, in the mean time you could use "Kingsoft office" and it should works fine.
Thanks guys....i believe it was a polaris bug..i played around with document...changed the font and junk and worked fine after that...thanks again

Hi,
I got my Transformer a few days ago and just finished copying a few thousand pdf files to my microSD card. MyLibrary shows them all just fine in the library view, but if I try to open any of the pdf's the screen just goes black and the back button stops working. To get back I need to press Home and force kill the app myself. Other apps open the pdf files just fine. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thanks!

While there are better readers, i would like to know why it doesn't work and like the option of using everything that is built in.
Okay. Thanks for the replies. Good to know it is indeed the Prime 1.4 rom I installed. I already suspected as much. I've installed Aldiko and ezpdf now, but like the previous poster I'd like to know why MyLibrary is not working as it should and/or when this is going to be fixed.

Uhh *bangs head against wall* if you insist on using the supplied apps, be they any good or not, open your PDFs in polaris office, it's a lot better but there's plenty of alternatives in the market...700+ for PDF, 31 for ereader
I've yet to root or change roms so while it works, it is by far the worst PDF viewer I've seen
Hi you guys.
I have recently bought my Asus Transformer and I have a question.
I live in a country where internet is highly filtered and the access to Facebook, Youtube and many websites are restricted. I have bypassed the filtering by installing Tor on my PC and it’s working fine.
However, I wonder, is there any way to connect my Asus Transformer to my PC through ad-hoc to use Tor (or perhaps any other anti-filtering tools) and connect to those restricted websites? I guess it has something to do with Proxy settings but I really have no idea about how to get it done. It would really mean a lot to me and many others if someone can help me with this.
You can try orbit, it's a Tor-browser for android.
I think it allows you to select apps that will use the tor-tunnel. I'm guessing you just select the facebook-app, and use it like you normally would.

Actually, it's orbot not orbit I used it on my phone, it was ok. I don't know if it's working on honeycomb, try it.
You are absolutely right aibo. My bad

Does anyone know of a PDF app that allows you to view 2 pages at once (like an open book). THis was such a nice feature in GoodReader (iOS), but I haven't found an Android app to do that yet (and I've tried alot)! Does anyone know of one??
Thanks!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Haven't tried pdf but epub files are displayed like that in MyLibrary that comes with your Transformer.
Yeah, did try that - it too only displays one page at a time in landscape mode... Landscape more is perfect for vieiwing two pages at a time, but it doesn't look like there are any apps that do it on Android yet... Hopefully, it'll be added to some app in the future...
Thanks for the reply.

You can do either or:
1. Hold down on the "host" file and a popup, (just like in your screen shot), select "Open as", then select "Text", then select "ES note editor", wait a bit and it should opened.
2. Just tab on the "host" file, select "text", then select "ES note editor", wait a bit and it should opened.
That's all. Just a reminder, this is the second time I hold hold hand through the process...LOL

Lucky no offence but you don't sound experienced enough to be editing system files. Permissions and how and what to edit require a bit more knowledge. Similar to the pm you set me about signature verification. If you carry on it is only a matter of time before you create a non booting or crashing device.
Go to the play store and download hosts editor and use apps like AdAway for controlling what ads you see.
Apologies if that came across as patronising. We all had to learn once but jumping straight in to the deep end when you don't know how to swim could be dangerous.

Trial and error can be a painful experience if you get it wrong. But yes it is one of many different learning methods. Not the safest or most sensible but if you are a risk averse person you can learn the hard way.

Do you have splashtop 2 or splashtop thd/hd? I think there is a new update out for the latter that fixes the signin issues

Because really, you couldn't read the Splashtop Play Store What's New Page?

What's in this version:
* Fixed Internet Discovery failed to login issue."

Ok but i use splashtop instaled on tablet app My Cloud,where to find update??? I try to log in but nothing is happend
Splashtop Internet Discovery
I have the same problem. I use the MyCloud splashtop app too. When I go into settings and internet discovery, I enter my credentials and click sign in but nothing happens. If I can't get this fixed soon I will have to figure a way to go back to 4.1.
I have the same problem, I think it's a bug in the app (also it's a pretty old version). I ended up buying SlashtopHD, it's optimized for tablets, works great with the keyboard dock and is on sale for $8. Discovery works great, even over 3G.:good:

Small question: Why did you buy the general tablet version, and not the Tegra 3 optimised THD version specifically meant for the TF700?
What is the specialized version for the tf700 under?

[Problem Description]
Since the 4.2.1 update. The Splashtop (MyDesktop) under MyCloud has not been
working completely. It works well through local networks, but, under settings and
internet discovery, when I enter my google credentials and click sign in, nothing
happens. It will not attempt to sign in. There are no errors saying my credentials are
invalid. It just sits there. Then when I back out of the menu and come back the
password is missing again. I have the original splashtop app on my phone and
installed it on the tablet and it functions fine through internet discovery although not
nearly as tablet friendly as the stock version through MyCloud.
This feature is a main function for productivity with the tablet and if necessary I would
rather go back to 4.1 to retain this capability.

Doh! I didn't realize there was a THD version. Just bought it and will kick the tires. Here are the results so far.
With my tf700 tethered to my EVO 4G I'm able to internet discover and connect to my work PC.
I'm unable to internet discover my home Mac. Think that might be an issue with my firewall. I'll look into it when I get home this evening.
Update: I think the issue was because my firewall is configured to do port forwarding to my Mac. You have to allow SplashtopTHD to discover the Mac while connected to your local network. Once it's found it the first time on the local network, internet discovery works after that.
So are we out of luck until Asus updates unless we buy Splashtop? Is there another way to locate your computer when you're off your own network? What version of Splashtop is bundled in MyCloud?

Afraid so. The version Asus bundled was customized and renamed it MyDesktop v1.1.0.14. Near as I can tell from Splashtop's support site this was a known bug in v1.1.0.14. :/
FWIW This was the last version that Splashtop released before they updated the app from Splashtop 1 to Splashtop 2. Until Asus uses the Splashtop 2 version remote access outside of your LAN wont be possible.

Actually, it's still possible - just not as easily. All that you need to do is setup Port Forwarding on your router. It's actually pretty simple.
Let me know if anyone is interested in setting this up - I'm sure I can find some good links and help a little...

The splashtop app has updated 3 times in the past week or so and still it doesn't work
Man you guys must either be young and have good eyes or porting the video out HDMI to a big screen TV or external monitor. I tried Splashtop a few times and it worked great but I couldn't see a thing on my desktop screen (high res, lots of icons) and discovered I could zoom and pan (desktop or launched app) the virtual desktop but it felt clumsy and dangerous since I often lost my mouse cursor. In app it felt dangerous like I could easily delete something. Functionally though it was an impressive remote desktop over wifi. Tried it over 3G and the latency was unbarable (and they state it will not work this way but I tried anyway just to check it out - they were right.)
I went out and checked yesterday and got an available update from ASUS that fixed this problem.
