Ok so according to some reviews there is no data port (micro USB or anything) on the tab and ports are only available on the keyboard dock. So what's the beef? How would someone transfer stuff onto this thing without dropping another $150 for the dock. The only way I can think of is through like drop box which would take forever and adb over wifi... o.0
Anyone got any other ideas?

You can connect to the PC through the same connector port you use to charge. It is a proprietary 40 pin USB cable with a detachable AC adapter.
There's no micro USB, but the charger cable is a proprietary connector to a standard USB cable. i.e: plug it into your computer like any other phone or tablet.
ohhhhh ok. I thought that port was strictly for the dock... Thanks for clarifying.

According to Asus it DOES have a microSD slot.

I use the ES File Manager free app to map to and copy files between my Windows XP desktop over WIFI.
...something is off then if you are saying it does not have a MicroSD. I tested one at gamestop with a microSD port and the data dump http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376019 here was achieved through the microSD port...
Read the post... It said microUSB, not SD. I do lament the exclusion of the former, but not enough to not buy it.

I believe it is called WiFi Direct. Here are several articles on it:

I'm not sure what the confusion is. MicroSD slot is on the tablet. Full sized SD slot on the keyboard dock.
In the User's Manual on the tablet diagram labeled #5:
"5 - Micro SD Card Slot: Insert Micro SD card into this slot"

..I did, it says " No data port" ( micro USB or anything), the title also asks "How do you transfer data on this thing?".....I was replying with the information I had available to me regarding "data transfer" on this particular device

You may want to give an example of what you are talking about.
To me USB card means USB card reader which I am sure you are not talking about.
Do you mean a USB HUB or addon USB card with extra ports?
Might help those who read this forum

I recently purchased the note from att and my wife bought me a few accessories from amazon. One of the accessories that came in the bundle was a usb host mode cable. I've googled for answers but couldn't find anything with details for what its for. Im not new to android and rooting, as Ive owned a few devices over the years and last one being the galaxy s2 on sprint. If anyone can explain to me whats the use for the host cable it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
BTW I love the galaxy note!!! I sold my iPhone 4S to get it and Im happy I made the switch!!
It's for use with USB drives and other USB devices that require USB host to use.

For what purposes?
You can plug in a thumb drive to the cable and it will mount on your phone. You can also use usb keyboards/mice if you are so inclined.
I carry a cable so if anyone wants to pass me a large file I just plug in my device.

I use it mostly to run this: DSLR Controller.
It's also nice to be able to connect USB thumb drives to move files back and forth.
when I plug in my usb cable I don't get access to my sd card. Am I doing something wrong
Had a brain fart...
I figured it out

I think the cable you want is called an OTG cable, not just a micro USB to female USB.

What about Ethernet? There are USB-to-Ethernet converters and the Linux kernel likely supports them, I am rooted so I can run netcfg usb0 dhcp for sure. Is there a reason why this wouldn't work...?

You can use it for UOTG, USB on the GO. You can plug the micro usb to the phone and plug a USB flash drive. Go into a file explorer and look for a folder called usbStorage. You will be able to access the flash drive through that folder.
FYI, make sure that USB debugging is disabled other you will not see anything in the folder.
This is perfect for transferring files from USB or other media into the phone. I use it with my Canon S100 and transfer pics directly from the media card.

I used my evo 4g as my mp3 player for my car. Just plug it in to the usb and good to go. I tried it this morning w/ the lte, and it worked fine.
Got back in the car, and now no matter what, my head unit says "device error". the evo is set to disk drive, and i have rebooted multiple times. It did work this morning, so I cant imagine what the deal is.
So I tried taking out my sd card, and moving my songs around the phone using file explorer. It worked for a bit using connect as medai sync. Again, worked 1 time, then as soon as I pull the cord out and try again, nothing. Now my headunit either says device error or "no song". Sometimes the phone doesnt even give me the option to use as disk drive, just the htc sync.
So I finally loaded a rom. Worked great for 1 time. Now the same issues all over again? Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd rather not plug in anything made by apple into my car.
Do you have an aux in port? If so use it with an aux cord.

SD cards can become corrupted if the OS doesn't mount and unmount the drive properly. Try plugging your phone into a PC, and see if Windows/YourOS picks it up properly. Then unmount in Windows or on your phone (just switch to 'charge only').
See if that makes a difference.

The head unit is usb only. It is a mp3 player head unit. Meaning a usb cord runs to the front of my car for any device to plug in. Other devices work just fine. the evo 4g worked fine. This is the only device that just stops.

Yep, Windows picks it up just fine. It shows the sd card though, unless I use HTC sync. The same problem happens even if I have the mp3's on the phones internal storage, and not the sd card.
Head unit doesn't read MTP protocol for mounting. Most don't.

Excellent point - Honeycomb and ICS use MTP, whereas your OG EVO uses USB Mass Storage. I would check the documentation on your head unit, or contact their support, and you can probably confirm this.

If this is in fact the case....is there a device that I can purchase that I can put my sd card into that is USB Mass Storage? Like a simple cheap thing? I'm fine with just storing my music on the sd card and swapping it in and out of the phone.
You can use an external sd card and mount it. Tested on my wife's pioneer a few minutes ago, confirmed it read 236 mp3s and played through a few. Didn't seem to read the id3 tags though which is odd.
It will not read any off the internal card....

I have a stock Canadian Motorola Xoom running ICS 4.0.3
I did try to Google my question and search this entire site... no luck.
What will happen if I connect my Xoom to my XP (PC) using a Micro USB OTG cable? (a USB cable that support "Host Mode")
1. The Xoom will see the XP (PC) as a Massive Storage Device.
2. The XP (PC) will see the Xoom as a Massive Storage Device or as a MP3 player.
3. Both the Xoom and the PC will see each other as a Massive Storage Device.
4. A conflict will occur as both devices, Xoom and the XP (PC) will try to host each other.
5. Other (explain)
*I do know that ICS support OTG, and run really well with flash drives.
Thanks!
Intresting...
Why don't you do it once and let us know what happened?
I don't have a cable to test this but I'd guess you would get a conflict and neither device would recognize the other. Why would you want to do this anyway?

I order the OTG cable last week, it's not here yet. (maybe next week)
I have no idea how an OTG works, so it got me thinking...
- All I know is that OTG trigger the ICS to "host USB", but so the PC...

I want to connect my Xoom to my PC so I can copy some files over, and now wondering if I need another NON-OTG Micro USB to do so...
(or just keep using USB flash drive as a bridge, not super convenient...)
Any non OTG USB cable will do the trick. I think the Xoom only supports MTP, so make sure your computer supports that.

Since the dna does not have an sd card slot, would I be able to get a adapter for micro usb to usb and then use a flash drive for more space?
that really is a good idea

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.
