Hi. A few months I bought my fist tablet full windows 8 Asus Vivotab Smart. I have a windows 7 (32bits) laptop, when I plug it in my tablet nothing happens (no sound of something plug in) I can't open my tablet like a external hard drive? Please someone help me, I need to copy a lot of things in my new tablet. I have my laptop updated. What can I do...
You can only charge the Asus Vivo Tab over USB if you connect it with your PC.
You need an OTG-USB adapter to put an USB drive/stick into it. This is the best solution to copy your files to the Tablet or you use a micro-sd card.
Thank you for your help. Now I know that you can't connect it to the PC.
It's an actual Windows computer.... generally speaking, you can't connect two Windows computers via USB!
If you want to access files on the tablet, join it to your Windows network (for example, if you already have Win7, connect the tablet to the same Homegroup).
You need a USB PC-to-PC file transfer cable. These are pretty common and cheap,

Hello,
I would like to ask to you if anybody know how to connect Point Of View Mobii 10.1 Tablet (it is same like Advent Vega) to PC with SD card like mass storage.
USB driver is installed.
OS is Win7 64bit.
Official ROM 1.10.
USB debugging is enabled.
But when I connect tablet to PC I can not see any notification about connection (in tablet or in PC nothing).
Thx a lot.
I have found it easier to give up juggling with USB to transfer data and now use Android Manager over WiFi. If this is an option for you, have a look here - http://global.mobileaction.com/download/android.jsp
It looks good
It looks good, I will test it ...
But basically I would like to use my tablet like standard mass storage. For example at home, office or somewhere alse with USB cable.
Thanks for your hint.
hi, i'm a max os x lion user, and when connected, am unable to add any files directly to the phone via osx finder
why's that so?
You have to connect your phone first.
Not just the cable, but in Settings/ Network/ USB programs.
I have a Mac also and it works perfectly.

You have to enable USB hosting on your phone should be a notification when you plug it in, pull down notification bar to confirm. I have OS X Lion as well and know it works.
there's no notification in my phone
method 1
what i did was to first go to setting>network>usb util>connect storage to pc
if i connect the phone first and go to usb util, it'll ask me to unplug it first and go by method 1
So, there is no "auto-detection" of the drive? cos in windows parallel it can detect nicely
is method 1 the only way?

Reboot both devices and wait til both are up and running for a couple minutes.
Then plug the phone to your mac and wait for your phone to recognize.
Phone will then have a notification asking if you would like to connect
via USB to copy files, enable this by selecting, and then agree to turn on USB storage.
All that via phone OS. Then go to your Laptop OS X desktop and there should be a shortcut to your phone as a drive icon.
this is damn weird, it finally appeared after all these time
thanks!
I'm a mac user. I love them. But I've always had USB troubles (even on my old windows pcs I had trouble - but thats back in the days of XP). Unfortunately all the best bits of mac are deep inside, the external stuff (usb, cd drives) have issues eventually.
my cd drive doesn't burn any more. it is 4 years old now tho.
acer a500 is FLEXREAPER R10 4.0.22
pc is win7 64-bit professional. acer usb driver has installed on pc.
yet, when i connect pc and a500 with usb wire, i can't see anything shown on pc. no mobile equipment, no u-key, nothing.
could someone do me a favor to tell me how to solve.

Try another USB port.
or
Try to install again the drivers
or
Try another computer...
cheers
...and USB debugging enabled
finding your tablet in win7
@ yypp:
Not sure what flavor of win 7 you're running or what your host machine is. BUT...
If you have windows 7 professional, and have a Intel Sandybridge style processor (like I3-2310, I5-whatever, I7-whatever...), you have available to you bluetooth and WiFi enable with the Intel My WiFi Tech.
Turn on your bluetooth and Wifi on your tablet...
Goto start; devices; ADD device. It will look for it. It will find it either as a bluetooth or a WiFi compatible device. Then add your tablet. Give it a snappy name, so on.
I had similar problem, yypp. However, once my laptop recognized my tablet via bluetooth, the USB debugger then acknowledged it already stored as that bluetooth device.
There are work-arounds available to you. The bonus of adding it as a WiFi device is you can then tether the two to your smartphone as well for a PAN.
Ciao.
Hello,
quite the same config (with a DELL T7500)
same problem.
I tried to add the Acer drivers.
but for a strange reason, to install the driver, I have to install windows media player 11.
which is not possible under seven 64 Bits !
result : the instllation cancel the install, without telling a clear error message on the screen.
Acer could have limit the software installed without WMP 11
but canceling the install of the drivers itself when there is not WMP11, is not really good.
anyway, the tablet should be visible from scratch under windows Seven.
it is a pity.
my iphone (my previous HTC desire HD) are recognised imediatly on this computer.
so bad.
on my side, I didn't found any solution.
Best regards,
Olivier
wauw.... what's all this bluetooth crap? solutions:
Your'e problem could have several causes. time to eliminate them:
Open up your windows start menu
enter "device manager" in your searchfield
(on other languages you could try: rightclick my computer, properties, and in the left pane there should be device manager).
now connect your iconia to your pc using the cable
1: if you see iconia tab with a white icon and an exclamtion mark in the list:
right-click it
in the first pane you should see the problem
in the second pane you can update drivers
if this is not working go to http://www.acer.nl/ac/nl/NL/content/drivers and download them again.
2: if you see your device popping up normaly (under media devices)
no problem... the problem consists with some part of your computer that needs the attention of a proffesional. go see your computer distributor
3: there's nothing in the list...
try connecting your tab using an other cable and try using the cable you have on another android device
Is your iconia showing info when you connect it? mine says debugging enabled and iconia sync.
you could ultimately try to plug your tab in to an other pc or boot up linux and try to connect your device from there... on www.ubuntu.com you can download a cd that can be used to try the system without install.
Good luck!

I have a 64 bit windows 7 with windows media player 12,
please note that the device is recognised by windows as a Stand-alone Media Device...........
like the old active sync cellphones did. iconia connects to your computer using windows media player.
if you are terrified about this do it like me:
go buy a usb-disk
put everything you want on your tab on it
plug it in to the tab
install "ES File explorer"
browse the contents of your usb drive and copy them over
PRO's:
get data everywhere, no need to install drivers on your friends computers
you can't copy virusses from windows pc's to your tab's hidden sectors when having such a bridge, unless they are in the mp3's you move.
faster speed since the connection speed with windows media device sync is very slow.
CONS
takes some time to put it on the disk and to grab it from it...
other thingy
when you are in the same network as your computer you could try to copy them over using the network feature in ES File Explorer. just like network places in windows.
SO, just picked up the Dell Venue Pro 8 - thing is really awesome and fast. My only gripe with it is why you cannot just plug the thing into a PC via the micro usb, and file transfer. This is the stupidest thing. I know I can use home network, and how to share files that way. But in my office that is not an option. Rather than ejecting the Micro sd card, plugging it into a USB, copy-paste onto sd, reinsert sd back into tablet, I would like to try to do a Bluetooth file transfer.
I have configured the devices, and they are connected. I have configured the Bluetooth share setting, and Bluetooth Exchange Folder location on my PC. I have added a file to transfer, now I go to my tablet, and literally have no idea where to go. I go to network, no files, Bluetooth settings, I see nothing, file explorer, shared files, etc. I don't see it. I google searched this, and couldn't seem to find the answer either. Can someone please help.
Thanks,

Bluetooth file sharing works much the same as an android phone, ie you actually have to select a file on one device and then select to send it over to the other device. You do not get a shared folder.
As for it being stupid that you cant plug your tablet into another PC. I think its entirely logical. Your tablet isnt really a tablet at all, its a full windows machine in a tablet body. Can you plug your laptop into your PC and transfer files? Perhaps think about what you are saying before calling something stupid. However, it is actually possible, just not via normal means.
Your tablet does support USB host with an adaptor such as this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-USB-Host-Cable-OTG/dp/B006P9G9YG
You could just leave it at that and use a normal USB memory stick to transfer files. Or go further: http://www.maplin.co.uk/usb-data-transfer-cable-221132
I havent tried one of these cables before, but they do allow direct machine>machine file transfer in one way or another.
Here is how to send a file over bluetooth in windows (top reply): http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-windows/57da28a1-f0e5-410d-b774-40f76df5aacb
Also, you *can* use BT to create a network connection (like WiFi but very short range), but I really don't suggest doing that. If for some reason you absolutely can't get your tablet and your workstation onto the same network and yet need to transfer files between them, a flashdrive or similar is the best option.
This is crazy... why is the S4 so difficult to connect to PC via USB?
I've done some searching on this and people blame cables, media transport, etc...
-My S4 can connect to my work Win7 PC reliably so far (HP Desktop)
-My S4 can NOT connect to our home Win7 PC (Toshiba Laptop). Nothing shows in DeviceManager or FileManager. Rebboted PC and S4.
-Wife's S4 connected to our home Win7 PC one time, copied some files to it.
-Wife's S4 can NOT connect to our home Win7 PC any more (with same cable but since have tried two cables one being the original Samsung)
Has anyone found a reliable fix for this? My phone's flash is filling up with pictures/videos.

Are you using the stock cable to connect it ? I've never had any issue with it being recognized even with just the stock usb device driver. You might need to reinstall drivers and use the stock cord
