How do I turn that crap off ?
I have a mac and since Asus are too lazy to make their OS X software it serves no point..
And whenever I hook it up to another PC for transfer (or VERY slow recharge) it keeps asking about it..
good questions !
I have a linux pc and i don't know how mount sdcard
With previous version of android was simple, just connect the device and select item form notification area, but with honeycomb ?
Root it and uninstall it. Or, root and use autostarts.

Yesterday I was able to connect my Tab to my Win XP PC using the USB cable. I was able to transfer files without difficulty. But, some how I must have changed a setting on the Tab and the Tab is no longer recognized by any of my PC's. I think it is a Sync setting that was changed.
Now, when I connect using the USB cable, the PC says " Found New Hardware MTP"
What settiing do I need to change to get the PC to recognize the Tab?
Check under application > development > usb debugging.
Thanks, I found a USB driver on the Acer site. That seems to have solved the problem. But, that driver was not needed yesteray, and I don't know what "MTP" means?

Even my Windows 7 boxes do not recognize the a500 without installing the USB driver from the Acer site. Guess you somehow got lucky
Mine always saw the internal 16gb on my Win7 machine. Before the latest updates, I was able to connect with my Win7 PC with no problem and even go to STORAGES and see my 32gb card. It no longer works now. All I see now is SD which is empty.
Which means I cannot copy anything directly to the Micro SD (external_sd). It worked before the last couple of updates. I'm currently running 4.010.10. Now I have to copy it to the 16 internal from the PC and then use the tablet to copy it to the external_sd.
Acer giveth and taketh away.... bummer.
Edit: And yes ... my debugging is on. Always has been. Stock kernel too.
Anyone figure this out yet?
I can't connect on my Win7-64 PC at all.
My 32 bit laptop will connect, but not to SD card, only internal SD.
Try turning development off when using usb go pc which no need for driver, if development is on then you need driver installed.

i can't get my tab to connect to my mac , ive tried both usb ports, ive tried ticking usb-debugging on and off with no luck. Anyone know whats wrong?
If you are having usb issues go to acers web site and go to the drivers and download section for the iconia a500. make sure you look under the honeycomb 3.0 downloads and not the 3.1. as the drivers are not listed under 3.1. download the drivers to your pc (not your tablet)and install. it is an 89 megabyte file so I am sure it has the drivers for everyone in it.
Alos if you are ojn honeycomb 3.0 make sure you get the wi-fi unpate as well while you are there it fixes lots of wi-fi problems.
Remember to thanks if I have helped you.
Thanks for the quick reply in the drivers package There is none for mac and on my fascinate it connects without problem and i never instaled any drivers
Chuban7, Hi well I am not a mac person but I did look around the net a bit and from what I see there are not usb drivers persay for android for mac. but what i have found is there are several companies who mac sync software that connects android to mac. One site to check out is http://www.salling.com/MediaSync/mac/ they have free versions of thier software to use. Give it a try. but there are many other venders of mac to android sync software. seems only way from what I read cant find usb drivers anywhere for ya for any android device.
You can also look through the android market for a free program called"auto mount your sd card" supose to work with mac but I dont know as I dont have a mac
MY personal choice is a program also free on market called "software data cable" again suppose to work with macs and pc's it is completely wireless so no usb cable needed to transfere files so in theory then no usb drivers needed either.
You can also use a program called dropbox allso free it works great just drop files into the dropbox folder and then once they upload go open dropbox on your android and bingo there ya go thier is your files. works in reverse too for android to computer.
Only thing I can figure is that apple hates android and between them and microsoft are tring to run android into the ground so it would stand to reason if you hated a compeating vendor why would you make it easy for them to run thier devices on your software. There is a reason apples Ipod/pad stuff works and others dont apple dont want you to buy android lol.
Just my little conspericy theory stuff good luck hope any of this helps you.
I have the same issue with Linux so it's not a Mac issue. I can plug my Android phone in and it mounts and show up as a USB device that I can then take a file manager and copy/paste/delete files. I use this all the time to transfer files to my phones sd card. Neither the A100 or the A500 will mount as a drive on my Linux machine. I like them but that is pretty much a deal breaker to me.

Somehow I feel very doubtful that your Linux OS cannot be set up to mount the a500 as a USB storage device. My Linux skills are rather rusty and outdated, however - so I could be wrong. Can you emulate a stripped down version of windows from your Linux system to get around this?
I can vouch for using software data cable (free app from AM).
Works perfectly with my iMac and should do with PC, since it essentially opens an FTP port on the Iconia (port 8888 by default) that can be accessed by any FTP client on the computer (I use Cyberduck on Mac, FireFTP plugin for Firefox works on all OS's).
If you are rooted, check root access in the app settings to get into the root, and find /mnt/external_SD for the add-on card. It is probably smartest not to leave the root access on all of the time unless you really need it as there is abundant opportunity to create havoc accidentally

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I just think that it's strange and wrong to make an Android device dependent on having Windows. Yes I suppose I could install Windows in a Vm but I won't.
Using Google (pun intended) I found a fairly simple solution. It's not plug-n-play but is very doable even by an non techie.
There are also some ways of access the Tab file system using a browser and Wifi

Nice app thanks, didn't show up when searching for FTP servers. ;(
The only minor issue I see is that at 1st glance it appears that you don't have access to the external_sd card unless Rooted.
Did work better than any of the other FTP servers I have tried.
I just bought my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
And i noticed some problems that if some one could help me i would appreciate.
1)Were can i find the youtube app. At least the most recent one. I cannot find it on the android Market or the lenovo Market.
2) How can I send files to the tablet using the micro usb cable. I use mac an linux machines and it is not recognize. I Noticed that the USB options are not switchable by the user. On windows asks for drivers (which i cannot find by the eway). Is there a way to access the internal memory using micro usb?
3) Is there a way to use a Portuguese keyboard an still have the tablet in English. It seems that it always chose the layout of the keyboard based on the system language.
Hope that some one can help me...
Thanks in advanvce...
answers:
1) download it Here
2) copy files by using this app. it will ever work on any platform without any drivers.
3) i'm using my tablet in english too. using german keyboard layout because i'm german . don't know if it's the same for potuguese but if you go to settings then language & input you can choose the keyboard layout. try it
First of all thanks for your reply...
1) thanks that was just what i was looking for... Does it update via market now that i have it installed?
2) I know these type of applications but for over the air i use ssh. I Intend to copy some large files and that would be easier and faster using the micro usb cable. Do you know a way to do that? My htc desire when i connect it to a pc via usb cable I can teel it what to do (mass storage device, charge only, etc, ...) what to do, but that option is blocked in my tablet.
3) I have to try that tomorrow when i arrive at the office ill give it a try.
By the way how can i change the host name of the tablet?
2) use sd card, it's the simpliest and fastest way

That is not a very good solution I have 16GB of memory that I would like to use.
And to use the sd card I need to have with me all the time a sd card reader which is not the case.
Every android phone i used and have let me connect the device as a mass storage device. They even let me access the SDcard and internal memory using the micor USB port.
So I suppose that this is possible with lenovo thinkpad but I am missing were or how i can do it...
Is in the settings at the USB-Settings "Transfer files" enabled,
or can you choose it when connected ?
And at accounts&sync is "allow sync with pc" checked ?
mounting the TPT in unix is a bit more tricky. I had to do this last year, I only remember it took some extra work. But here's an experience getting it done in Ubuntu:

Good luck!
For Youtube, try out the one linked in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19412952&postcount=3
That's the tablet-optimized version 3 of the Youtube app. Installed it yesterday and works great on my TPT.
Youtube newer version?
Hello,
First time poster, but old follower of this great community site!
Q: May somebody provide the apk for Youtube (the latest one). The one linked above I think is an older version (3.0.15)
I mistakenly uninstalled the one that came with my TPT without backing it up (I know, stupid!). I think its version was 3.1.1.
I'm currently using a 16 Gb US version. Build number: A310_02_0039_0086_US
Thanks a lot!
Well, you could try downloading the latest US ROM from Lenovo - just unzip it and check the apps folder for the recent version of the Youtube app.
Thanks Yassin,
But I haven't found a full stock Rom. All I can find are the OTAs and it seems that the YouTube apn it's not included, or at least I haven't found it.
And the update at the Lenovo app store still gives me the parsing error when downloading...

Hi Guys,
I need some help with my Xperia10. I cannot install any apk's. I have downloaded an apk installer & when it runs it tells me my phone isn't connected to my PC although it is.
I can connect to my phone with the desktop software easily and have a look at the sd card contents, but if I exit that software & make sure it's not running in the background, I still cannot get any installer to "see my" phone.
I have followed instructions on how to connect properly which I got from this forum but no joy whatsover.
I also have a similar problem with a tablet, which is running Android 2.3 ( sorry to admins to mention it here but I can't find my tablet in any of your links) the PC doesn't see that either.
I have downloaded & installed various usb drivers in case that's the problem, but again nothing.
My PC is running Win7 build 7601, 4gb memory, intel 2.8 dual core.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Hi,
I'm not sure i understand well your pb but in case :
To install non-market apk, you have to go in SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS and tick "Unknown sources"...
Also, take a tour in SETTING/APPLICATIONS/DEVELOPPEMENT and tick "USB debog"
Now, you are able to install apk from other sources than market...
When you connect your phone to your computer, you must have a look to your phone... slide the notification bar and press on "connect the sd card"...
I hope it helps...
I have a quick question to everyone who has the TF300T and Linux. Have you been able to plug in the tablet directly in Linux (Ubuntu)and open the filesystem to transfer files? it seems that in windows I need to have that Asus Sync program, but i would rather not use a program. I would imagine it would be a plug and play situation.
I would appreciate to read how to go around that.
Thank you in advance.

I have windows and it is plug and play for me. I never downloaded the ASUS Sync program. I just plugged it in and it recognized the internal sdcard with no problems at all.
I'm on windows and i've never needed to use the asus sync program. I just connect my tablet to the computer and it pops up as a usb mass storage device.
Interesting. I am at work now and we are using Vista. I have it plugged in and on the device it says "Connected as a media device" and then nothing comes up. Also i have that Asus Sync icon in the notification area
I use Windows 7 Enterprise at home and it works for me
I don't have a issue with this at home.
Once I plug it in, a USB menu opens and verifies that it found a new device.
The issue you may be having is with in Vista itself.
I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, and I can view all the files on my Asus, I don't even have Root yet. That whole .26 thing!
I just fired up a Ubuntu system at work to try to get around the issues with ADB on a Windows 7 64 bit system, so I can try to downgrade it to .17, root, load root keeper, then try the OTA update to .26. Have not quite got there yet though.
So far this has all been a complete pain on Windows, the ADB software comes to a screeching halt do to a Java issue, that no one can see to correct on my O.S.
Would be nice if some one just put out a 1 click Root app like I had on my DrodX!

i think i could depend on the drivers.
but dont expect an USB drive to appear as an HD or removable device, as it is MTP, you have to access the files via the DEVICE ICON that appears on the computer folder.
i dont know if its the same on vista. but as win 7 is Vista + it shouldn't be too different.

Ubuntu user here.
Yes I was/am able to get it connected and able to get files on it but not without some extra work.
I mostly followed the following site and changed some of the names he gave his phone into TF300.
(being a new user I am not able to post url links and am not able to post in de development site yet...damn)
Do a google search on: omg ubuntu android usb drive
and the first hit is the site.
After having done that, all it takes to have it seen as a drive is enter <android-connect> into a terminal. (and <android-disconnect> to shut off cleanly).
It's only seeing the sdcard, not / (hoped for an easy root access ).
Hi
I'm looking for a guide to mount and transfer data (music, images) between my PC with ArchLinux and my Lumia 735.
So far, the system can detect the phone, but It cannot mount it.
On another Linux PC, with Ubuntu, I am able to mount the phone (SD + internal storage) and to transfer the data, but when I open the Music or Foto apps, I cannot see the data.
Has anybody solved these 2 issues (ArchLinux + file exchange)?
I'll admit, the idea of somebody using Linux on the PC but Windows on a phone amuses me. Not that I haven't occasionally been known to use exactly that, but not to the point of expecting them to work together (I use Windows on the PC when I need to connect my phone). I'll check next time I've got a Linux system and a USB cable in front of me...
Tip: this is a request for help, and therefore should go in the Q&A sub-forum. General would be a good place to mention if you had found a solution and wanted to share it, but Q&A is a better place to post requests. Doesn't much matter, though.
