I've read that a full USB-to-USB cable is also included in the Elocity A7 box.
I never received a full USB-to-USB cable.
How can I get the full USB-to-USB cable?
P.S. Can the A7 be connected to my computer via this USB-to-USB cable so I can see the files on the A7?
Similar to connecting a flash drive and seeing the files that are on the flash drive in the computer's Windows Explorer.
Check out this app. If you have the a7 on a wifi network. Just be careful if you set it up to access files in the system area.

They didn't come with a USB cable. Default USB mode is host, not client. It is not going to be able to be used as a thumb drive (can probably be done if switched to client mode, but by someone with much more experiance, not trying to be rude just honest)

Does anyone know if the microSD and/or USB Flash drives show up as USB drives on PC? Do the standard Android development tools connect-up through the USB and 'just work' like they do for my phone? I assume that the miniUSB plug is the one that connects to your PC since the other are listed as 'Host' on the Notion Ink Tech specs page.
you would connect to computer with the miniusb, the microsd would mount to computer just as it would with a phone. that would be nice if a usb flash drive did to but i'm not sure about that.
Has anyone tried this cable between a windows pc and their tablet?

It's supposed to let you copy files back and forth between PC's and also sports a usb hub.
Is it USB to USB or MicroUSB to USB ??? ( website doesn't say )
I thought we could only connect to PC through the MicroUSB port ?
First it's just a usb cable with the data+ and data- leads swapped (oh, and a hub built into it)
Second, the A500 has the mini-usb, why do you need the full usb to exchange data? The mini works fine, and I can access the full usb as a second removable drive (from the PC, I mean)
Sorry if this is a stupid question but the cable that is shipped (included) in the box with the Tab just charges the tab, or can I use it to connect the Tab to the pc (windows) USB socket and transfer my files to the Tab ( like movies, pictures etc..? I had Asus Transformer before and their cable did exactly that. Is it the same with Samsung or do I have to purchase different cable to do that?
Thank you
also what is USB dongle? I don't get it.

Yes. If connected to a PC, the tab will transfer files but not charge. (Unless it is fully turned off)
If the same cable is connected to a charger, it will charge the tab.
The "USB dongle" is probably referencing a USB host adapter. This allows you to plug in USB devices (thumb drives, keyboards, etc) to the tab.

Turn off USB debugging. Then plug one end into your Galaxy Tab and the other into your computer. It will show up as a drive and allow you to copy files over.
I did this just this morning and it worked like a charm. With USB debugging turned on, my Galaxy Tab was showing up as a modem that I couldn't do anything with.
Can you tell me where I turn off USB debuging? I know how to debug the browser so the web sites look like desktop sites, but don't know where to turn off the USAB debug. Plus - I still don't have the Tab, buying this afternoon. Thank you for help.

Not necessarily. You need an operating system with built-in MTP support (Win7, maybe Vista, apparently not XP?), and you may need to install Samsung drivers.
The tablet does not support traditional USB Mass Storage mode (works on any OS after Win98SE) at all.
Options for transfer are either MTP, or push/pull via ADB (Turn on USB debugging and install Droid Explorer for the latter.)

Yes bro you can use the same USB cable to connect your phone to PC or laptop and transfer the files photos and videos between them. Your yureka will be visible in Computer as media player device or either as a phone depending on the settings you have selected on your phone. settings while connecting to PC. You can always change the mode from notification area visible on the top of your phone which is called status bar. As far as OTG cable is concerned that is a different cable which allows you to connect any flash drive to your phone and allow you to copy paste or read write the content of the flash drive or pendrive on your smartphone.
I have tried several different cables and no success. Every time I plug a USB Cable into my old laptop (Dell Precision M4600) and into the USB Cable from the AllWinner T8 head unit, it does not recognize that there is a USB Connected. I have no idea what I'm doing and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I've tried all four USB ports on the laptop (3.0 and 2.0), a monoprice male a to male a usb data cable, a QVS 3 feet 'high speed' 2.0 data cable, a transfer cable (added to computer as F: drive, unable to access headunit files and PhoenixSuite did not detect Android Device nor did my computer beyond Portable Device listing 'F:'). I have uninstalled drivers, updated drivers, made sure there are no unknown devices. Plugging into the laptop nothing is added in device manager, so I'm clueless at this point.
USB Debugging is on. USB is set to use MTP, not charging. It doesn't even show up as recognized. I used terminal emulator to check and see if as 'su' if there were any devices using adb devices, nothing showed.
When I use my phone charger cable, plug into the usb cable from headunit and into phone it recognizes the device. When I plug the charger cable from phone into laptop, it recognizes phone. When I use the same exact cable with an adapter to convert to Male A, it does not detect a usb device connected on either end. No device under Device Manager, no 'usb connected' on head unit.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do for the head unit to recognize that there is a USB Cable connected?
Both your Laptop and your HU are USB Hosts. Hosts cannot communicate. Only a host with clients.
Some HU can be switched to client mode in some Setting page, usually hard to find. And often client mode is then active only on one specific USB port of the HU.
And note, not all HUs have the capability at all.
If you want to use adb, then try via WiFi.

Is there anyway around this? I'd like to try and upgrade the head unit from 7.1.2 to 8.1 but if I can't get the unit to communicate then I am out of luck.
