[Q] Seeing cellphone thru usb? - Acer Iconia A500

When I try to mount my cell thru the USB cable I cant find it in the Tabs memory?
Where should I be looking? Or won't this work? The cell is charging thru the USB.
Thx

I was actually wondering the same thing. It is pretty nice that it charges the phone but being able to transfer files between phone and tablet would be awesome. Also I have noticed that you when you plug into a comuter you can only see the internal memory on the device and not anything stored on a microsd card in the tablet. I even tried installing that Acer sync program and thtpat didn't help either.

Problem copying over large file to 2 gig card.

Hey, I'm having a problem copying a 300 megabyte wmv file from my computer to my 2 gig stick. Whenever it gets to about 5~10% goes back to 0 and starts again, does anyone have this problem? Or, does anyone know what's the matter?
Thanks!
BTW, my card is a 2 gig MiniSD on my Cingular 8125.
i havent tried this.. dont use my phone much for music and video, mostly just all data... but is it going through activstink? if so is it converting the file? and 300meg file going through the phone takes a while, i would try using your mini sd adapter and a card reader and connect it to your pc and just copy it over that way
Oh, thank you for the reply, I'll try to directly transfer it from PC to stick instead of through activesync. No, it says conversion (none) so I assume it is not converting. I will see if I can plug the stick into my computer.
Btw, when I remove my stick should I power off my 8125? Almost everything is installed into my stick.
Edit: Nope, , there is no place on my computer for me to plug my stick directly into.
no need to power off... and you should have gotten an SD adapter for your mini SD card. after putting the mini sd card into the SD adapter then would need a SD card reader which are very inexpensive to acquire if you dont have one already. then plug the reader into the computer, the computer should recognize it as a removable storage device. just drag and drop...
Alright, thank you! Yes it did come with an adapter. Is there anyway to copy large files through activesync?
you should be able to.. but with my experience it just takes forever... i copied my iguidance map for a friend one time and its 600meg... took 30 minutes to complete. I only copy large files via the adapter nowadays
Yeah, I don't mind waiting 15-30 minutes, it's just that it resets itself and I have no idea if I can ever get it on my phone via activesync.
Edit: I'm trying a different method, right clicking the file and going to send to.. then selecting device, then they prompt me to choose the destination within the device, so far so good. I'll edit again if it's successful or not.
SUCCESS!!
WM5Storage
I use WM5Storage instead, for large files. Works better and faster, than ActiveSync.

Computer wont recognize wing?

Anyone know what I can do? At least how can I get access to the memory card? thanks
i suppose you are using the cabel, which came with the wing - not one from a digital camera or so...
because sometimes the companys are changeing little things in the camera-cables so its not "iso-conform" or standard anymore...
other usb-devices are recognised by ur pc?
did u try other usb-ports?
are u running the newest active-sync?
Error message.
Is nothing happening when you plug it in, or is windows telling you it cannot recognize the device? If nothing happens, you need a new cable. If you get a error message (cannot recognize or device has malfunctioned) then you need to reinstall or update ActiveSync.
You can always load music and pictures by taking the Micro SD card out, using the adaptor, and putting it into the SD slot on your computer. That's much faster for loading music anyway. What version of ActiveSync do you have? Is it the one that came with your phone?
p.s. Only post once for each problem. It may take a few days but someone will get back to you. That way we don't clutter the board with extra messages.
i just changed my cord and it worked fine

sd card problem

hello guys!
my problem is popular on google but i don't see any one with my problems.
Anyway, i used my usb to connect and transfer some pics and some music.
Everything was OK until i unplugged my usb. PROBABLY WITHOUT UNMNOUNTING (on my mac). The message on my x10 is like this "preparing sd card. checking for errors"
I have tried to fix the problem by recovering the phone to fabric mode (?).
Anyway i just want to know how to fix this and i have tried a different card into my phone so there is no problems with the phone.
My comp doesn't recognize my x10 anymore. This is really frustrating and i can't use the sd card in the phone because it just restarts itself.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.
how to formate the card if my comp wont read it?
i have no adapter or anything else, except my x10...
The card works in other phones and i have tried micro sd 2gb in my x10 and it works...
PLEASE HELP

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use one of them to format it.
I actually have a similar issue. When connecting the phone to a mac via usb, upon dissconnecting the card becomes unreadable. I used an adapter to reformat the card to get it working again. I am no longer connecting via usb with my mac. Connecting from Bluetooth doesn't cause this problem. Best bet is to borrow/buy an adapter to reformat. Try not to connect to mac via usb as the card almost always becomes corrupt upon disconnection.

Problems with MTP and USB access

hi, this has been bugging me for quite some time now eversince i've got my xplay. it seems that there are times that i'm unable to access my storage properly via MTP or storage device. it charges the phone and i can see the device on my device manager but nothing comes up in accessing the contents. my only solution is either by luck, with plugging and unplugging the unit or uninstalling the driver so it could detect it again but sometimes recquires me to restart my pc. my last resort is to unmount the sd card and go through a usb adaptor.
Got the same problem
No idea what causes it.
Also got random replugs where the pc thinks it's newly connected, rather annoying when watching a movie on the pc.
can anyone provide a probable cause for this or any solutions perhaps?
After it got really bad (rebooting phone not working and all several times) I uninstalled com.sonyericson.usbux
You can't acces your SD card anymore but atleast you can charge and push-pull things over adb.
my phone still has the stock kernel and i haven't rooted it yet. though there are still times that i can't access my mem card.
MTP wont work at all for me so I cant update firmware
MTP is far more picky and problematic than a logical drive. I run into data transfer issues with the Iconia A500 due to this, but zero problems with my gTablet that sees the internal space as a logical drive.
Wait a sec- The microsd is seen by the Sony firmware as MTP? That seems odd, since I am not aware of other OEMs that map microsd that way.

[Q] Tablet is erasing data from USB devices

I think my A500 is erasing data from my external USB, I have noticed this twice.
The first was a 8gb stick - I put music on the USB from my PC, then put the USB in my tablet and played the files. The next time I went to use the USB, the tablet wouldnt recognise it. I put the USB in the PC and the PC didnt recognise it either.
Similar thing happened to my external hard drive (Seagate 500GB) - however I can see the drive and the folders that I had are still there, but there are no files (pictures/movies/music).
Any ideas? I have Acer looking into it.
I don't think that it is actually erasing it...
I have had some curious problems. I used to be able to use an external usb stick and move files back and forth. When I first got the tablet,I used the usb to test my 2tb drive and it worked. When Iplugged the drive into the computer again I was surprised to see nothing there!!! But then I got the message on Windows to fix the file system and it was ok after that.
I no longer use the external drive but I would like to see some answers here.
