Tasker recognize dock attached - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

To all those who use tasker, has anyone found a way to get it to recognize when you plug into your dock? Right now i'm having it detect my SD card but this is an inefficient way to operate.

Dock usb port

Does anyone know what devices are supported by the dock usb port?
I tried plugging in my xbox 360 controller and it wouldn't work. However, it did when when I just used the tablet to USB adapter to plug into my controller without the dock. I also tried plugging in my mouse, which glows when it is plugged in, but I can't use it to control the screen. I tried disabling the mouse pad and still no nice. It also doesn't seem to be recognizing my USB stick. Anyone have any clue on how to solve this or test if there's something wrong?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 connected to Prime via dock USB port

Hey guys
I was trying to see if the Prime can power up my Galaxy S2 via the dock and as soon as I connected it, the Gallery app came up, the phone went into Kies mode, but the prime became unresponsive.
What is it supposed to do?
BTW, it did start to charge my phone.
Thanks
if you put the phone into mass storage mode, it all charge and you can browse the phone.

Would this work with an MTP phone? I don't have a dock yet, I'm waiting for champagne docks.
wpghtc, did you actually do that? I want to a USB to address files on my phone from my prime, but i get no response when its connected. The phone is in mass storage mode too
I just tried this with my Galaxy S2 but it does not work even in storage mode. It does charge the phone but no access to the files.

Just Bluetooth transfer or I like to use my cloud drive as a "middle man". There are alternatives. However what you are trying to do.... this seems llike something that will work in the future. IMO

Prime docking station?

I am looking to create a setup where i have a monitor ready to be connected to the prime with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard all the time.
I want a dock that i can just pop in the prime that would hook it up to the charger and the TV.
something similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-7-Sla...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1329147330&sr=1-14
if there isn't a dock made for the prime.. is there any kinda of holding station that would be best for this?
thanks for the help.

hmm .. would i be able to shut the dock and use the outputs to the TV? since i want to use a bluetooth keboard and mouse..
i don't want to have to have it opened on my desk why i am on the monitor with the mouse and keyboard?
also i was hoping to defer the 150 for the dock and buy a nice monitor for this setup. since the only time i would want a keyboard would be at my desk at home, why not have a bigger screen.
The tablet has Bluetooth and MicroHDMI, so you may be over engineering things.

correct.. but i'd also like to charge the tablet while i am using it on the monitor..
there i would need to hook up hdmi and the charger each time i connect. would be easier to have a dock always on the desk top that i just slide the tab into that does all those things.
To answer your question, no such thing exists.
Because of the locations of charging port and microHDMI port(different sides) that would have to be a pretty complicated dock. Your best bet is to either make something yourself or just deal with plugging in 2 cables. Personally I'd go with the latter.

Which means life would be easier to just hook up your tablet to a stand that leaves room for the charging cable and MicroHDMI.
At home, I use a goose-necked claw mount that is vice screwed to the cublet by my bed, and could just as easily transfer that to my desk. You might have more trouble than I would, with regard to room for keyboard, tablet, and monitor. Having the dock, I could even use my mount while docked in fact.

USB Adapters

I just purchased a TF300 for my wife, and I would like to find an usb adapter that will allow me to attached usb devices like, an external hard drive, a flash drive to it.

The stock Asus usb adapter will do that and more.
http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-T...984429&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+tf300+usb+adapter
The link is provided only as an example. I didn't try to locate the best deal, etc.
Flash drives and 2.5inch drives work without external power.
3.5 inch drives require external power.
Wifi keyboards and mice work as well. Just plug the wifi dongle into the adapter and go.
My experience the drives can be formatted as fat32 or ntfs.
In my case : TF300 + self assembled external 2.5" 500 GB drive, in need to provide additional power to the drive so that the tablet will mount it properly.
I use one of those mini-USB to double USB cables with plugin one USB on the double USB side in my 5V phone charger and the other USB in the USB adapter on the tablet while the mini-USB is in my drive.

i was thinking about doing this too but bought a keyboard dock instead. it has a usb 2.0 port built in. i have tried an external harddrive and several usb storage sticks and all work great. The thing about the usb adapter is that the poor placement of the charging port makes is so that if anything is connected, the tablet cannot sit in a case with a built in stand. dealbreaker for me.

[Q] TF201 not connecting to PC via USB

Hi all,
I am having difficulty getting my TF201 to sync to my Windows PC via USB, and nothing seems to work. I've already tried rebooting both devices, I've made a Factory Reset on my Prime, tried using another PC (and even an Xbox), and I've even tried purchasing another USB cable, but nothing seems to work. Although the cable(s) charge my Prime just fine. I wondered whether it couldn't be a problem with my Prime's connector, but I'm skeptical since the connector can charge, connect to my mobile dock, and recognize peripherals attached to the USB port on the dock.
When I connect the Prime to my PC via USB, the Prime doesn't show the USB Debugging icon nor the ASUS Sync icon, while the computer also shows no signs of recognition that the tablet is connected, not even on device manager. ASUS support (very crappy, btw) told me to install ASUS Sync on my PC, but no luck. However, my Prime's screen does turn on when I connect it to the PC, which, I believe, indicates that it is doing that painfully slow USB charge, but that's pretty much it.
I normally wouldn't mind, but I want to get root access for my Transformer Prime (running 10.4.2.17 JB firmware), and using ADB/Fastboot seems to be the only way. Is there any other alternative way of rooting the Prime? or is there a way to using ADB/Fastboot wirelessly, without root access?
Any help is really appreciated (this has been annoying me for a few months now).
Having the same problem. Are there any solutions?

Ah, I miss the days when the TF Prime could be rooted straight from an apk, without having to use ADB. Ah well, guess I'm not getting Android 4.2 then
