Hi
Recieved my transformer today and after a few hrs with it, I was totally impressed. It is by far the most beautiful tablet I have had. From an ipad, a tmo galaxy tab and the Gtablet, this one is a keeper. A few things:
1. For some reason when the asus is connected to a USB hub attached to my 27" iMac, it would not charge. I had to connect it directy to an AC source.
2. How do I use the "MyNet" feature to gain access to the videos and files on my macintosh? I saw a message about DLNA from the tab, but don't have any idea how to set it up from the Mac.
3. I read that Asus was providing some sort of cloud storage for the transformer, but I cannot locate the info or an app on the tablet so I can take advantage of that feature. Is there a sign-up page for this online storage cloud service?
4. Is there any macintosh software available which would allow me to access the sdcard on the eee pad? I am able to do this via windows from Parallels, but would like to have access also from the Apple side.
5. Which HDMI type cable should I be getting for the Transformer?
6. Is there a short "root" method I can use apart from this one ...
I am not comfortable for this long process to have cwm on the Tab. Will wait for an easier method. Just need root for now.
My unit came fully updated, and software update hasn't found any thing new.
Kudos to Asus for engineering such an awesome tablet.
#1 is easy - USB ports on computers (any computer) only provide about 500mA of current. This is not enough to charge a tablet device. If you look at the output rating of the adapter with your Transformer, it's probably something like 5V, 1800mA.
Simply put - USB ports on computers don't put out enough juice.

Actually, you're running the original March build. You'll want to go to this thread and click on the link to the latest firmware. It's a manual (non-FOTA) update, and you'll need a microSD card to apply it.

Mine charges VERY slowly via USB when the display is off. Get about 2% per hour I think.

unlimited cloud storage can be found in the app "MyCloud" after the update
if you had webstorage account from asus before you'll have to set up a new one from Eeepad to take advantage of the first year unlimited cloud storage
I dont think MyNet is compatible with macs, and as was stated in the other posts (and judging from your screenshot), you don't have the latest firmware installed. It's easily updated by using a microsd card though.

I'm thinking the same thing regarding MyNet for Macs. Hopefully there is an update in the future that will bring compatibility to Macs/OSX.
As mentioned before, the current capacity of a usb hub ( or computer usb port is not sufficient to do a good job charging the TF. Also the chips used in most 4 port USB hubs provide two powered ports and two un-powered ports. The un-powered ports can not be used to power anything.

My ReadyDLNA (Ext3 external drive plugged into a WNDR3700) is showing in MyNet, so can't we just use a Mac OS DLNA clent/server? I feel like this could be done without even using the router like I am.

Sorry I don't know enough about macs to give advice on that. All i know is that on the asus site, it doesnt mention mac support at all, which leads me to believe there isn't, nor will there be, any software to make it compatible on the mac.
I guess you could use a windows emulator as a workaround or even install a proper version of it on a partition.

Well the software they provide for windows is indeed a DLNA client/server, so in a sense the mechanics are identical, not to mention you can work with with Ext3 in Mac os (Much faster streamingpotential compared to NTFS). I plan on installing XBMC later today, and I'll post back if there are any issues with HFS+.

As long as you see your dlna server in mynet I don't see why not. Your shares don't show up? That's strange. Because I got a windows xp machine running the windows media player dlna server and I see all my folders. Though my transformer don't support most of the video on my PC...that's a bummer. Need a good video player on this transformer that can play streaming video.

Not quite.
The Transformer PSU puts out 15v at 1.2A on a pin that is normally used by USB3 (Not present at all on USB2)
When plugged into a normal USB2 hub (only 5V) it will charge _very_ slowly and even then only when powered off (not just with the screen off)

If you turn off the screen it will trickle charge very slowly. USB ports aren't providing enough juice to fully charge the TF.
2. How do I use the "MyNet" feature to gain access to the videos and files on my macintosh? I saw a message about DLNA from the tab, but don't have any idea how to set it up from the Mac.
You want to run some sort of DLNA software on the Mac. I use an app called "Playback" on my Mac Mini for DLNA purposes to stream to my Xbox and Epic 4G (when i had one) and Galaxy Tab (when i had one).
3. I read that Asus was providing some sort of cloud storage for the transformer, but I cannot locate the info or an app on the tablet so I can take advantage of that feature. Is there a sign-up page for this online storage cloud service?
Complimentary one-year trial of ASUS WebStorage. Please visit www.asuswebstorage.com for more details.
4. Is there any macintosh software available which would allow me to access the sdcard on the eee pad? I am able to do this via windows from Parallels, but would like to have access also from the Apple side.
Yes, it's called Android File transfer. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
5. Which HDMI type cable should I be getting for the Transformer?
Mini HDMI, available for cheap online or for about $29 at your local BestBuy.
6. Is there a short "root" method I can use apart from this one ...
I am not comfortable for this long process to have cwm on the Tab. Will wait for an easier method. Just need root for now.

You just need to be running a DLNA server on the Mac. Look up an app called Playback.
I think everyone's misunderstanding what I was trying to say before. I was trying to help someone else, I don't need help on the subject myself thx. I hate macs, theyre too simple to use and no challenge.
So I've pretty much replaced my laptop with my transformer. Yea my laptop has a 17 inch screen, but to be honest with you its so big I never wanted to take it anywhere! Isn't a laptop supposed to be PORTABLE? I feel like I can (and should) take the TF everywhere. It seems tiny when docked, but just right when used as a tablet.
I love it.
The only thing stopping me from selling my laptop at this point is that I need to burn CD's occasionally. Is there any app out there that can access an external burner so that I can make CD's from music I have stored on my external drive?

Probably more a matter of time, at least if there's interest in it, but might be a long time. Didn't Honeycomb just add USB host support? I don't think it would've been possible before that.

Not necessarily at all, not all manufacturers provide Linux drivers for their hardware (Android is linux underneath it all). As well, I'm not sure exactly how Linux drivers work, but each CD burner might need their own set of drivers
If the iso drivers are in the kernel, the system will know about cd/dvd disks and drives. The issues is a program to do the burning.

So I plugged in my external DVD writer, and the kernel currently is not reconigzing it.
So that is step 1, someone adding the drivers into the kernel.
After that, it is simly a matter of re-building cdrecorder and mkisofs for an ARM target and writing a little UI on top of it.

I would dust the laptop back off......There are not enough devs or support for at least another 2 yrs to have a bug free Android OS. Also you have the first model of about 15 major tabs in the next 2 yrs! Just because it has a docking station means nothing. Don't get me wrong i love Android.....but leaving windows 7 and coming up 8????? Not to mention all the bugs because its a "beta" product. Actually i wouldn't even call this Alpha..Android OS should of release a GOOGLE laptop first with all the correct hardware specs and almost bug free before letting anyone put there OS on a tablet and sell it...Every Honeycomb tablet that has been made has issues. And its the hardware not being fully compatible.

If you replaced android with another operating system on your post, that can apply to any OS system on the planet. Be it windows, osx, Linux or what ever a company puts out. Not one OS or hardware is immune. Perfect software only happens when it's on the drawing board. The longer android is out the better it gets..but honeycomb has been out a very short time and is only on 5 percent of the devices running google OS. There are more then enough developers for it.
I'm looking for an external dvd burner to work with the TF also. Seems like a lot of TF owners are looking too. Hopefully someone with xda will develop the software...
Not exactly what you want but it might help
Check out this product.....It adds an extra step and it would be kinda kludgy at best.......It is a standalone cd burner.
http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=11177
They also have a DVD burner. There may be others out there as well. I have been wanting this as well and don't really want to spend extra to get the capability right now at least.
Awesome! Definitely a solid solution. And a great idea in general! Thanks for the info

I don't think he's looking to reboot into a full-blown Ubuntu environment (where nothing else works) just to burn a DVD... The whole point of this thread is to get Android-native tools to do the burning - not setup some half-working OS to do the task...
I don't see what the Unix "cdrecord" and "mkisofs" utilities can't be ported over to Android. Although, I don't have the skills to do that, so maybe it's not such a trivial task...

I cant see any problem just mark it press copy go to you external disk and click paste today i transfared from internal storage to SD
I'm attracted by its size and price to handle the work of a netbook. However, I need to copy files from SD card/ micro SD card to external harddisk.
Since a sales person said Transformer cannot do so, I am really wondering.

Is your hard drive one that is supposed to self power via USB? Mine has an external power adapter, so that could be a possible source of your troubles if it's a self-powered one.

It is self powered, and a 500gb 7200rpm harddrive, Seagate Momentus. So power is probably an issue.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
That is most likely the issue. I recall that a year ago a lot of people kept using the USB adaptor on iPads to connect external self-powered hard drives and cameras and such, then Apple released a firmware update to make the tablet check for power usage of the connected device because self-powered hard drives, for example, were pulling too much power through the adaptor and damaging it. There could be a similar issue with the USB ports on our Transformers. I don't believe that tablet batteries were meant to put out the power to sustain such devices, sadly. =/

I have searched and could no get a clear answer on this subject.
I have read that Inspire 4G can support USB host but the kernal has to implement it.
I looked at this thread, [USB Host] on the Desire HD showing prosmising results, as I know DHD and Inspire are very similar.
I just want USB host on my Inspire 4G to run DSLR Controller to use on my canon T3i.
I want to know if its possible to put an Inspire 4G into USB host mode today and if so how would I do so?
Thanks!!

you created a thread that has no information but the topic of usb hosting, then u linked to a thread that has the information. fail.
(makes a thread about how to root phones and links to the how-to guide)
This thread has no information cause I am the one seeking the information on the subject.
The topic is "USB host on Inspire 4G?", as in I have a question regarding USB host on the Inspire 4G.
I simply ask a question on if USB host is already implemented or if there is current progress.
the first link you posted DOES show how to do it. you will of course lose the client mode as a result because dual mode is not supported. meaning you cant tether, and you cant transfer files or mount the sd card on a computer. but yes after reading the forum you can do it. make sure u do a nandroid backup and give it a shot. worst case you reinstall your rom.
Well I dont use tether mode that much and I do have a card reader to transfer files to a computer.
I will read all the post to see what need's to be done.
Thank you for your input.
You would need to do one of two things. One build your own kernel with this implemented or two have one of the kernel makers add it. Your best bet maybe to do it yourself as few are willing to trade off a useful feature for one few will use.
Well option one is out has I have no ideal how to make kenels.
This should be cooked in with all roms, why has it not been a standard for newer roms? It's just like tethering mode, few people use that.
I am one of the ones who has very little need for tethering.
USB host everyone could benefit from. Plug in a keyboard, HDD, Thumb drive, Card reader, and of course use for remote shutter for dslr's.
What would be great is to have a manual switch between the USB modes, just like what you can do with tethering. There is an app for that on the market called USB HOST CONTROLLER. It's for HTC phones (G1, Nexus One, Desire, Incredible).
Alot of useful information found here:SztupY's Android pages. Not anyway for our phones but the concept is there.
I would pay someone to implement this to the phone.
Yes I am inviting a smart developer to make head way on this and I will glady donate.
double post deleted
Your best bet is to ask the developer of the kernel you use to make a version with this built in. Most kernels don't use it due to far more people use the mass storage option on their phones then having to shut the phone down, remove any case they have, pull the SD card, grab an adapter or card reader and then make the changes.
I don't use teatherimg either but it is built in by default. I use mass storage far more.
@davidalindsey:
XxXPachaXxX expressed that he would continue working on a ported drivers that would work with GB. something to the effect of traveling and being back next week. think thats a better bet than getting some one to bake a kernel for ya that works in froyo only.
As you would like a remote dslr trigger i would like an external DAC/amp for a portable hifi rig.. the many uses of usb host.. lol

Aside from the fact that your device's partition and filesystem structure prevent you from storing files larger than 4gb and you need a USB host adapter, as well as having to write special software to do it....I'm going to guess not within YOUR abilities.

my phone makes me breakfast and walks the dog, i dont see why it wouldnt be able to burn a simple dvd...
If externally powered, it is possible.
Someone would have to write an application for Android to write to the media, as well as things like erase (RW media), close a session, and the other things unique to dealing with CD/DVD writable media.
It would be great, though, to be able to create a DVD from the pictures and videos taken by the phone. The first person to write an app that can do all that will probably make a lot of money in the Market.
