I try to connect via USB my HD with Xbox360 but don't recognize...why???
thx
..no xbox??
coz the HD is not an Xbox peripheral ?
When I plug mine into my 360 and select Disk Drive mode it works fine, infact I haven't found anything where it hasn't yet, including my car stereo which generally is very picky about these things.
When you choose the disk drive option, of course it will work. But when you look it that way almost every thing works wit X360: psp, ipod, pendrive, external hdd etc. So you can charge your HD threw a X360, watch mp4s and divx, listen to mp3s and watch fotos.

I tried and nothing either active sync nor Internal Storage.
Thats kind o sucks.
Other experiences?
huh? What exactly are you trying to do by connecting your diamond to ur 360? if u use it as a storage drive it should work(obviously for storage).
So the question is what are you wanting to do?
You should bought a PS3
You can connect it, save your games in your phones, transfer music, photos, videos, movies, etc
I use it this way and I love it, just as simple to plug and have fun
My Diamond works perfectly on my 360, for videos, music and picture when you set it to "Internal Storage" for the connection.

I cant live with out Gear of War and Forza2.
I don't know if this will help, but try different USB ports. The first time I connected my diamond, the Diamond didn't recognize it was connected to a device. After that, the popup for ActiveSync/Internal Storge/Internet Share comes up and you should choose Internal Storage. It should show up in the as a media source immediately after that.
Good luck!
My boys got a new tv off Father Christmas and after setting up I realised as well as having a card reader it has a usb port so on a whim I plugged the HD2 in, put it in disk drive mode and the tv let me play the divx, JPG and mp3s right off it. I wonder what else you can plug and play into, I have it in my BT homehub now and I am going to see if I can interrogate it.

Like you said yourself - it's in disk drive mode. It's just like a usb drive.
Thinking of getting a 3.5 external drive and filling it full of films.
When it comes to playing them, plugging the external into the transformer via USB then running the HDMI into TV
Anyone else tried this yet, or will i only be able to view films on the transformer screen

I have played films through hdmi connection to a TV. The only 'problem' was that you get the output on both the transformer screen and the TV screen, which can be a bit distracting.
I have also connected a usb drive OK.
I haven't connected a usb drive and played films over hdmi from it (because all my films are format that doesn't work on transformer), but see no reason why that wouldn't work, given that each component part of the activity works.

I do that with my Netbook, but I close the lid slightly and put it under a chair
I have a 500GB Seagate something USB HDD Formatted Fat32 with HD/SD films in MP4 and this plays on the Xformer fine
Hope this helps

So you can have films on a hard drive in a format that's not readable by the transformer
What format is that then so i can try and avoid it

NTFS (I think), EXFat and mac formats aren't supported.
Use Fat32 with MP4 Videos
It won't play AC3 or DTS audio files natively. Some players have the codecs like Vplayer but they do not seem to have hardware acceleration for the video. I am still waiting for a player that plays 720p MKV files with AC3 or DTS properly. Right now the best way I found was to use VLC Direct to stream transcoded content from the PC and let the PC do the conversion on-the-fly.
Also I noticed that videos judder when audio is present but do not judder when no audio is decoded. The only thing I have seen smooth audio and video playback from is streaming videos through something like Megaviewer for some reason.
Also HDMI output does not work on Panasonic plasma TV's from 2010 onwards for some reason.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The films were of various video codecs inside an avi wrapper. Transformer can't open avi files (actually, maybe it can now but it couldn't when I tried this).
It is formatted as ntfs.
If you're playing 1080p video via the HDMI out on the TF, the TF screen goes blank due to the resolution not being supported on the internal LCD. That may be helpful if you feel that having both screens on is a bit distracting. Hopefully at some point Asus or a third party dev will figure out a way to manually turn off the TF display while connected to HDMI.

I tested mine this afternoon and the HDMI output works perfectly with my Panasonic 51inch Plasma 3D TV, May 2011 Model.

It's the Windows Mobile forums . I still release Themes for Spb Mobile Shell on there but I have moved over to Android now as Windows Mobile is dead.
Yes I finally got a TF a few weeks ago as my laptop died on me and this (with the docking keyboard) was perfect for my needs. Totally loving it too

I am not rooted and cannot because some of my apps require non-root (DirecTv) which makes me sad.
I just want to watch movies on my tablet. I have Nexus Media Importer (NMI) and I can see my Western Digital 1TB portable HD (formatted NTFS). And I can sort of play the movies on the drive using NMI & MX Player. I say "sort of" because some time after starting the movie there's stuttering and freezes. The Hard drive is model WDBZFP0010BBK - 05 which is actually a USB 3.0 drive, but works fine with just USB 2.0 cables. I've got it hooked up to my computer right now with just a micro USB cable and no other power.
Most of my movies are MKV, but some are MP4 and AVI. So far I haven't been able to play any of them. Some of them are upwards of 8GB, but some are only like 750MB. Again, nothing plays all the way through. They all start off like all is well, but eventually, pauses, stutters, hiccups, etc.
I have AVS converter and I could convert them to some other format, if that seemed like it would help.
Any suggestions? Is is my hard drive? Cables? Media format? Sunspots?
Has anyone ever managed to get an external dvd drive working on an Android Yoga Book? I would have thought hooking it up with an OTG connector and a Y cable also going into a power bank to give the drive some juice would work. Would be great to hear if anyone has got it to work.

I was try. DVD drive was recognized but cd accelerated and stops, accelerated and stops... I think energy is too low...
Android Verizon works (With Drawbacks) Windows Verizon should work with a powered hub

Yes, for the android version most portable DVD drives that have AV mode will work.
however, there are some serious drawbacks.
1. you need a powered OTG hub as every drive I've tried, even the low powered portable ones need too much power, it often looks like its working but will have issues spinning or turn off randomly. there may be lower powered ones now but I havent found one with low enough draw not to need a powered hub.
2. its not great for movies. it only works with DVDs that are not encrypted (a lot of low budget or independent DVDs are unencrypted) or data discs with your own video files on them. (if you try to play an encrypted video it will either error out or will play the video but it will look scrambled and will blank out a lot.)
3. even if you do find an unencrypted DVD its not really straightforward to play. without a proper DVD software for android you need an app that at least will play the DVD files (MX player worked for me, I suspect VLC would work as well) the DVD basically opens like a data disk with a bunch of oddly named files, you just have to dig through and find the largest file and that's usually the main video.
as far as I can find there do not seem to be any video players for android that can decrypt a DVD (regular DVD players have built in decryption and PCs use software so its not something you generally think about until it doesn't work)
all this being said, for anyone with the windows version ignore everything above and you will probably be ok with a powered USB hub and some DVD software.
**Edit, I cant change the title now but I typed Verizon instead of Version by mistake. Sorry about that***
