major annoyance: can't connect to my milestone 2 - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I bought my tf201 mostly for work. now that I found out that ICS has abandoned ums, I have a problem. There is no way for me to easily transfer documents to my office computer as I am not allowed to install drivers.
simplest solution: use my ms2 as mass storage over usb. i was always able to connect my ms2 to my office computer with ease.
however it does not work with the transformer. it sees flashdrives and external disks no problem, the ms2 it fails to connect to. wtf?
I have usb debugging turned off btw.
any ideas?

Can you install a service like Dropbox?
If not, can you access the Dropbox website from your work computer?
I find Dropbox to be the easiest way to send files back and forth from my PC to my phone and tablet, especially since I don't necessarily have to have my phone or tablet with me in order to make sure I can get the files on there.
Alternatively, if your work PC has a SD Card slot you can pop the MicroSD out of the Transformer and put it into an adapter in the side of the computer. Not the most convenient work flow, but not a whole lot worse than physically plugging a device into a USB slow in order to use it as mass storage either.

no dropbox allowed on my work computer and also not on the transformer prime as there is no wifi at work.
also it does not have an sd card reader. wouldn't be a problem since I can bring my own but that is not really a solution to my problem at all.
see, i did buy a flash drive to get around popping out the micro sd from the transformer etc. biggest problem is exchanging files between my phone and the tf201 as I do not want to open my battery compartment and rip everything out of my phone all the time to get a freaking word doc onto my transformer.

If you have WiFi, you can try with Sama File Shering.

Did you read my post? no wifi!
please guys, i appreciate people trying to help, but noone seems to have anything to contribute towards a solution to my actual problem...
I will restate my question: usb sticks, external hdds etc work with my prime.
why the hell doesn't my milestone 2 work then? it's the same protocol to my understanding: ums.
i know that the prime can't be connected over ums since the bump to ics, but it should still work the other way round with my milestone 2.

If yoru computer has USB - could you use a USB/SD Card adapter and put the microSD in a SD Adapter? it would only run a few bucks

blue tooth transfer....

now that is a great idea. i don't know why i didn't think of that, i never used blue tooth a lot before. thanks, i'll check it out.
thinking about the earlier post aswell. maybe it is possible to connect the transformer over wifi adhoc by making the ms2 an access point. i got cm7 running on it. so samba sharing might be possible after all and i just didn't get the hint.

I just got around to connecting my ICS Transformer Prime to my Windows PC via the USB cable.. and it worked perfectly well as a USB Mass Storage device.
I was able to access practically any file on the Internal storage as well as the MicroSD card. I can copy files to and from my Windows PC with no problems whatsoever.
When I plugged the USB cable from the Prime into my PC, the Prime connected as a "Portable Media Player" and in the USB setting on the Prime, under Storage the connection type is specificed as "Media Device (MTP)."
ICS never abandoned UMS, it just doesn't work on the Galaxy Nexus (the premier ICS device) because the Galaxy Nexus lacks a microSD slot and has an unpartitioned internal storage space. The Transformer Prime has both an microSD slot and a partitioned internal drive so UMS works perfectly well.

yes, thank you for that little picture you drew up there. here is the thing. my office computer is an old windows xp computer which does not support mtp. my linux system at home does not support mtp out of the box which is annoying but not a problem.
now once again, i am looking for an uncomplicated way to get my files off my tablet and onto my phone/work computer without having to install drivers, software etc. i have a very demanding job where i need to stay mobile and if i need to print something somewhere on the go i can go into peoples offices and tell them to install that ****ty mtp protocol first or some asus driver before i can print.
i am not an idiot. so please do not treat me like one for asking a relevant question. ums has been abandoned in ics, it is not the same thing as mtp. maybe you should read up on it before you make an effort to post ridiculous tutorial pictures.
anyway, i have given up on this piece of **** hardware. Going to buy a decent laptop instead of this, if i wanted a portable toy with great battery life, i would bought a nintendo DS...

Wifi cracking for the HTC?

I jsut want to know if there is anything that can sniff/crack wifi's for the HTC.?
hmmm, not to do the work but this can scan networks and capture packets for another machine to analyse:
http://commview-for-wifi-ppc.download-528-16895.datapicks.com/
Work on it was discontinued a hiwle ago and I'm not sure how it'll run on WM6 and a Titan.

I don't want to do anything too wrong like snoop on people etc, I just want something I can use whilst at a bustop and log onto the local 7-11/esso/macks/subways etc wireless network and use internet.
That sounds like some fun stuff to kill time while waiting for transit...I just can't seem to find the CommView for WiFi PPC anywhere for download....Any luck anywhere else?
wififofum is a great wardriving software and it will tell you all the networks around and give you their signal strength and encryption type (if any). You might be able to at least find open networks this way....
WiFiFoFum is definitely the best out there right now for what you want.
Enjoy.
View attachment WiFiFoFum.CAB
Our phones dont support promiscuous mode which is that it wont alow us to capture random flying data. and all WiFiFoFum does is tell where a wifi hotspot is thats all. Best thing to do saddly is get a laptop with a wificard that can support promiscuous mode put on BackTrack Linux and then crack the password that way my friend and I wrote a program last year that cracks passwords but all it does it sends random passwords to the router which drains the battery to fast to even use the phone once cracked. I'll look for the program and post the CAB for it if i can find it.
He asked for a program for our phones that can sniff Wifi. That is exactly what WiFiFoFum does. Yes, it does not "crack" wifi, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which ones are open and which use security. Good luck trying to find a program for the Titan that can "crack" wifi passwords.
or one can just get a data package LOL

No comparison between the fun of cracking a wep and having to pay the man for a slower connx where my provider can tell what I am doing, give me the link for that cab dc13!!
Gcincotta you are probably right that no prog will crack those connections on its own, although wififofum radar is great for wardriving on all networks. I will continue to use backtrack when I am about and need to connect to whatever is closest.

I'll stick with my laptop running Gentoo with Kismet. Orinoco WLAN card with external antenna connected to my parabolic dish mounted on the roof of the car.

I just got this and am using it, but I got an error that the titan's wifi doesn't support promiscuous mode.
Gcincotta or Carlos, is this true? FYI - I chose "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter" for the adaptor to monitor.
Looked promising until I saw this message. Could this work as an "external" wifi card (if promiscuous mode is an option)?

I just revised the manual and this is what I found
" 2.1.2 Drivers
Once you have the appropriate hardware, you still need to ensure that your OS has
the right drivers to use that hardware. This can be a tricky part of getting a sniffer to work
properly, and it is why many sniffers either run on Unix based OSs, or require a special
driver to be installed before it will work in Windows.
In the case of the mobile Windows environment, most general-purpose local sniffers
will work with any WNIC without the need for a special driver or patch. Assuming your
WNIC is working before a sniffer is installed and the sniffer program is compatible with
your card, you will need no extra drivers. This said, if you want to perform wireless
sniffing, your sniffing will be limited. Currently there are no publicly available drivers
that make true promiscuous sniffing a reality for the Pocket PC. Instead, you will only
have access to networks with which your WNIC can associate, and then with only one at
a time. There are ways around this, but it would require you to purchase specialized
hardware and software costing several thousand dollars"
I personally haven't tested this on my XV6800 YET! But I am hoping to get it to work.
Sweet. That sounds friggin beautiful.

Here's the deal with the Titan. Even though Airscanner has promiscuous (monitor) mode, the Titan Wifi hardware does not support it. It only supports active mode. Injection also will not work, so even if the Titan's Wifi COULD be used in promiscuous mode, I hope the OP plans to sit in the same place for hours and hours while trying to crack the network.

Gps with Turn by Turn Software?

Hi all, Im looking to buy an external GPS for my Wing. I use Google maps alot, and I was wondering if I buy an external gps, will it constantly update my location? If not, is there a program out there, perhaps one that would come with the GPS, that would gimme a view like this? Or something similar?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
iGo6 is the best that I have found. It works well with the wing. iGo8 is out, but it uses a lot of resources and has a tendency to freeze up. There are quite a few programs, nd most of them have the same kind of format.
I use tomtom navigator 6, version 7 is about to be released as well. 'preview' version can be found on the net.
Would I need to buy a specific GPS Dongle? Or if I bought a random one off Ebay, Like a generic one, would it work just as well with those programs?
Any generic Bluetooth GPS receiver should work. I would do a little research before you buy, because you can find some sweet deals on some good receivers, or else you could get a sweet deal on a crappy receiver. I don't know a lot about them, but when I was shopping for mine about 3 mon ago, there were a lot to be found. Google is your friend with this kind of thing.

I used to have IGO6 but for some reason it never displayed the maps I got that's why I just decided to get rid of it... (that was before I found out about this forum)
I've been using Copilot Live 7 (ALK Technologies) on the Wing with an external Bluetooth GPS for a few months now. It does use a fair amount of memory so you may have to close down some processes before using it, but the software is stable and works well. Turn by turn directions, national map database on the MicrosSD card, voice instructions, etc.
BTW, running the Wing on an Aserg ROM, not the TMO factory one...
TomTom
Tom Tom is the best that I have used. I bought a generic GPS off eBay that cost me around $60 and tried several (Delorme, iGo, Google, etc.) then I got the Tom Tom PPC CD image off torrentz. Works like a charm! Need at least 1gb card though. It takes the whole thing if thats all you have. Thats why I bought an 8gb. Tom Tom is awesome!! You can search for a gas station or restaurant and just click on it with your finger and it automatically calls them for you. Just MY recommendation...
I've got TomTom 7 running on my Wing just fine, and that's the software I can only recommend for its clean layout and ease of use.
PS: Isn't iGo 8 the current version of that package? That's what I was playing around with the other day.
Im using an iBlue 737 bluetooth puck with Nav4All. Works pretty darn well for a free program, not as fancy looking as TeleNav or most of the others, but still does the job. Check out www.buygpsnow.com for external GPS receivers.
Garmin XT works great with the Wing. You will need to get a bluetooth gps receiver. Garmin does have those as well if you want to stick with everything being Garmin.
I can recommend you an Holux GR-236. I used that one during my Nijmegen march for GPS Trakking. It comes with a handy accu from Nokia, some differnt equiment like a car charger.
The device has a SIRF III Chip, what makes it stable with nearly no connection loos. I used the program "NoniGPSPlot", you can find the result under http://www.schaefers-daheim.de -> Nijmegen 2008-> the first one.
Have fun
Anyone Try iGuidance 4?
I've been using it for a few months now and it seems pretty good. Has voice guided turn-by-turn w/spoken street names.
Check it Out
I don't need the software...anyone have any gps dongles they'd recommend for the Wing?

Any one have a IGO8 without freezing ? I Use the TomTom, but I love the IGO8
i was using TomTom5 for a while
now i am using TomTom7 successfully.
the new Versions have big advantages
- when you are using the Touchscreen (what i am doing the most time)
- when you are at low memory (it is able to stop TouchFlow 2d)
GPS:
i am Using "Blumax GPS 710" (with TT5 and TT7) i am sure it's outdated because some new models from Blumax are accessible now.
but it's capacity is great normaly i am able to use it for 12 hours before i have to charge it again.
Im Using Google Nav 5.2 its aosum with my Mavin SiRF lll its pretty smoooth no problems but i recommend Google Nav if u hav the cash for it.

Highly Polished Turd

For the record, I was really trying not to rant about my Prime...
C1OKAS s/n. GPS in-op. Bt/Wifi - good. Connected my Jawbone Icon and then started watching Archer on Netflix (A2DP to Icon), never experienced wifi degradation. So that seemed good. Wifi reception was as good as my OG Evo 4g and Asus 1018P netbook.
Updated to ICS out of the box. Rooted after it became apparent that I needed to.
So to begin the rant: This tablet is useless out of the box. I stream my movies from my desktop (.wmv b/c that's what my samsung tv accepts) from my computer - the prime can't. Downloaded dice player free - super choppy, will work it out later. Started dl'ing apps n actually paying for them since I now have an interface that is more user-friendly (in size). Couldn't wait to go to work and use it through out my day--------SCREECHING HALT!!! NO AD HOC WIFI SUPPORT IN ICS!!! Which means no tethering to our phones. At this point I was letting some things go, i.e. the excessive light bleed all across bottom and right side, the in-op GPS, the inabilty to stream movies on my existing network, and the buggy interface that kept making apps appear and disappear on my home screens. So now I am in the worst situation of all, I have to RMA it to Asus b/c I made 2 noob mistakes while fixing my ad hoc issue. I rooted so I could use certain apps, then realized I can fix ad hoc support. So I started working on that and accidentally changed my '/system/bin' folder to '/system/bin - Copy'. This was a slip of my finger and that was that. Couldn't change it back for whatever reason. Then I made the grave mistake of rebooting. Haven't gotten passed the Eee Pad screen since. Tried many many things to no avail. So at this point, I made a big mistake and I am Boned b/c Asus thought it wise to lock the bootloader. Otherwise, I could've rooted and loaded a custom recovery yada yada, backed up, restored.....
I will end this saying that I have a $750+ paper weight b/c of my own actions, but this never would have happened if I had an unlocked bootloader, ad hoc support, and more basic functionality that modern electronics are expected to come equipped with. Asus, you have made one damn fine looking device, but where the hell is the functionality that we have come to expect from you? My Asus 1018P netbook has bluetooth 3.0 and usb 3.0 and I bought it 2 years ago! Why doesn't this tablet have much more functionality out of the box? It definitely has a steep learning curve and this is exactly why Android is always going to be in second place! Make a damn finished & functioning product before releasing it for Christ sakes!
Yeah yeah I know......Cool Story Bro. Don't flame me for being right. I was hoping/expecting to get a good one, but apparently the flaws are more widespread than I imagined.
AFAIK, there has been no AD-HOC support in ANY Android tablets I have tried out of the box. This held true for the Xoom (had to root and custom rom before it worked) and the Toshiba Thrive. I did not expect AD-HOC to work out of the box at all honestly.
That said, Sprint Hotspot works perfectly.
Honestly, I do not think it fair that you would be pissed at the device because you caused the damage trying to make it do something that it natively did not have support for. I am all for tinkering, rooting, etc....but I am aware that there may be unforeseeable consequences that go along with it.
I wifi tether to my phone with my prime all the time. Unless I'm missing something and you're using a method other than portable hotspot?

Sounds like you've got infrastructure capes on your phone. Not all of them do and require an ad hoc connection. ICS doesn't suppor the later.
We already have ad hoc network tethering working on ICS. Check out QnA section on how to enable it again. Very simple, requires root though. Its the thread created by lock n load.
A bit off topic but I'm curious why are you guys tethering from the tablet to your phone? If you're worried about data usage because of data plan caps why don't you make the phone connect to the same wifi source the prime is connecting to? Idknwhat ad-hoc is so maybe someone can fill me in why u would connect to wifi just to make it go from the prime to your phone.

I think they mean tethering from phone to the prime. Or if you have a laptop with wireless card, you could tether that connection to the prime.

I believe you can download the original rom image from asus's website, put the rom on a micro sd card and flash it thru the stock recovery.
search the forum, i think someone have brick the prime and fixed it that way...
good luck.
Movies seems to work fine for me using Splashtop or one of the VLC apps.
What about MKV files??
VLC Pro works awesome.
So you have a few problems:
1) You want to stream video with the most crappy, worst supported and most hated codec ever: WMV(Windows Media Video) ? The fact that that's the only format your Samsung TV supports, does only say something about your Samsung TV. The Prime plays almost every format I trow at it just fine, even High profile 1080p h264 MKV files. Most other "Premium" tablets can't do this. My advice is: use a normal video codec, and the file will play just fine.
2) You rooted your tablet, and renamed the entire /system/bin/ folder, thus bricking you device. I feel sorry for you, but you sound like the Prime is to blame.
3) Then the rant about a locked bootloader. You're right...this is something ASUS should never have done, but you know you can probably flash every original firmware(they are signed so they do work with the current bootloader) back right. I've seen this mentioned elsewhere.
4) Ad Hoc WiFI: My Prime connects without problem to my phone(Nexus One with ICS 4.03). Maybe it has something to do with encryption, because with WPA2-PSK with password set Wifi hotspot works fine. Even without rooting.
I am so thankful you seem to be the only one who has figured out that we should have a post about complaints on this tablet.
WAIT..... I am sorry - I am mistaken. There are 15,000 threads about this stuff already. You must have thought your thread would be more special. My apologies.

[Q] So disappointed with my Verizon Galaxy Note 2...

By far this is the fastest phone I had, coming from a HTC Evo Lte from Sprint. But I'm hoping that HTC comes out with a 5.5" screen so I can go back, I never had any issues transferring all my pictures, videos, music, etc. There's is no plug and play with the note 2. I've downloaded the MTP kit from Microsoft and still nothing works, I really don't want to use the kies air app, I just want to plug and play.... Any suggestions that can make me fall in love with my note 2 again.... This is my first Samsung phone... :crying:
I can only use it as a camera not as a media devise ....
? Do you mean hooken it to the computer...none of my usb cords worked at first you have to use the stock one it came with...when I first got mine I was like wth I cant transfer anything then used the stock cable and bam poped up
You need to use the cable that came with the phone and you need to install the drivers for your phone. Once you get those in order you will be in business.
All I needed was the cable, my PC installed the driver automatically.
I will never understand why people immediately jump to "my NEW phone can't do this" before first finding out if they're doing something incorrectly.
Pool_shark,
Probably because it's a pain point. They are used to doing X and can't. They want X back.

Well it is a standard, and people expect them to work universally. It's almost as bad as proprietary cables. It sucks to buy multiple cables only to have to buy new cables for the next phone.

When I was unlocking the bootloader casual couldn't find my device.
It was time to troubleshoot. So I rebooted the phone to see if my PC could see the phone, it couldn't.
Guess what my next step was in troubleshooting, I switched cables, and boom, it worked.
My previous android devices could all use the same cables, but this one couldn't, yet I still thought the next best thing was to try the cable it came with.
Yeah I make it a point now to use the cable that the phone came with. Same thing happened with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I couldn't get the phone to connect to the pc until my wife said, "Is that the cable the phone came with? You should use the cable the phone came with." I was thinking, oh hell no, that shouldn't be an issue. So when I did use the cable the effin phone hooked up quick style. So remember guys, listen to your wife. Lol

Go to Samsung's website and download the USB drivers for the Note 2. Oh hey, look at that, I linked it below for you:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I605MSAVZW
Under Manuals/Downloads --> Click Software
After you install the drivers, connect your Note using your USB cable. If your Note doesn't show up on the computer as a removable hard drive, open up your Note with the USB cable still plugged in --> pull down your notifications bar --> select the USB "Connected as an Installer" option --> Check "Media device (MTP) option
Hope that helps.
Horrible thread title.

I will never understand why people immediately jump to "my NEW phone can't do this" before first finding out if they're doing something incorrectly.

People don't want to have to do work.
Most common example: All I used to do was plug in my iphone and it did it for me...

This is all I have ever done. Used those exact drivers on multiple computers, two at work and one at home. Works fine no matter what cable I use. In fact I have never used the factory cable.
I don't have to use the cable it came with, which is lucky since I bought it used without the cable.

LOL, no kidding......
ive never had any issue using any usb cable, I kinda find it hard to believe. My notes cable hasnt left its charger by my bed since It, I use an htc cable on my laptop, a old moto one on my xbmc box, and another random cable on my ps3.
seems kinda odd.
Still pretty upset with Samsung
OK Guys, I apologize if i hurt some feelings out there, but come on!... don't you think that for a flagship phone Samsung should make it easier for users ... by the way I tried the cable and it finally did all the drivers installs, but i still cant plug and play (it only hooks up as camera), now it tells me that i have a """"HARDWARE ID MISSING""""" after researching , I un-instal the newest driver , installed an old version 1.4 , 1.5 , etc, etc and STILL" no luck , I check on the USB connection as media device and it goes back to camera ... any new advice....

Dude I think this is user error. My wife is so computer illiterate and she still has no problems using her phone. By the way this is even her first smartphone. For the record both mine and hers we just plug in and started browsing the files. It was just plug and play.
For your problem, what os is your computer and I don't see it mentioned but are you stock still?

[Q] BST Dongle for Samsung and most Android devices

Hi,
Some of you might remember me asking in the forum to solve the IMEI problem on a Galaxy S3 NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK.
I was not able to solve the problem even though I tired the impossible.
I came across a YouTube video repairing IMEI using a software and a piece of software and I was very impressed what this tool can do!!
So, I decided to buy it which had cost me 100$, but even though if it didn't help me solve my problem, I will most certainly need it in the future for ton of things.
It's called BST Dongle.
Now, I saw some videos on YouTube but I can’t see how do you connect the UART r523k
I have that cable and I connect it to that piece of hardware which has 4 ports.
1 port service cable and 1 port USB OUT (I put the UART R523K there and I connected the other end to my phone)
1 port USB IN 1 PORT USB OUT, What do I put there?!!
Please I need help.
UART Cable

Yes I did.
I ended up buying the software and hardware for 100$ or something. I figured out that me and my family we all use the Samsung phones, so in the future I can fix almost any problem and that tool supports Samsung and HTC, so I took it as an investment
I was able to fix the IMEI thing in less then a minute.

Hi, would you be kind enough to share? I have the BST kit, but just like you, I cannot figure out how to use the UART cable. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

It's very simple. If you want I can fix ur phone using the kit remotely using teamviewer or something. If you agree, send me in a PM ur email address and we will talk. But there's one thing is missing in that kit and it's the USB A-B cable which you have to buy (it's very cheap).
It's the same cable used for the printer, so maybe you can borrow it from there!

Get the cable first and then contact me.

Thank you. Already have that cable (like you said, from the printer). But, my computer is not recognizing the phone via BST. I insert the UART 523 cables into the box/microUSB into the phone, and then the printer cable into the computer.
I hear a beep, but when the software asks me to "connect to device", the dialog box pops open, and then I select a com-port, which always ends up with an error message.
Also, on BST website, they state not the Android 4.4.2 requires some soldering of the box to work.
Are you familiar with this?

I'm not familiar with that at all and never knew that there're things that must be fixed with a solder! I hope this is not ur case.
Well, there is a driver called PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.8.0, you will find it in the drivers folder where you installed BST.
It looks like this:
Put ur phone a side for now, close the BST software and open it again, hook the usb side of the A-B Cable to ur computer and the other side to the UART and run that driver. then it will be able to recognize ur phone. It also should have a blue light on it if I recall.
U should make sure you have the latest version of BST which is : BST_V3.18.00_Setup
I hope this helps.
Did it work? does it recognize ur phone now?
nope
i have tried everything im unsure what to do. i have tried 2 different phones and i am still stuck. not sure what else i can do here.
any help
