Is there an otg option for the tf300t? I don't have a dock and hadn't planned on getting one but the capabilities of otg seem interesting but I guess you'd need the Asus connector instead of microUSB.

Yeah you can get the following:

This literally arrived at my door 10 minutes ago, it rules! I plugged a generic external hard drive (some cheap external case I put a 500 gig 2.5 notebook drive into) and I could play movies/music/pictures off it no problem at all, no power source required for the hard drive either. I'll test it out over the next couple of days and see how much battery it eates.
I'm curious what else you can plug up there... USB game controllers maybe?

I need to get an external hard drive for my Transformer, and I wanted to know if anybody had any good suggestions as to which I should get?
Also, what format does the drive need to be formatted in?
Thanks.

I'm using a 1TB WD My Passport USB 3.0 drive formatted in NTFS. The TF recognized it and accepts it just fine.
yep ... im using a WD too ... but mines only the 500gb USB 2.0 one ... but it was VERY cheap at PC World
Does it need to be usb 3.0 for power? I know the power cord for the Transformer has to be.

are you guys powering the hard-drive from the transformer or do the drives have their own external power supply?
Mine powers just fine from the Transformer.

mine is simply a USB connection to the transformer. The 500gb model was about £30 from PC World
Just buy a 250GB Toshiba 1.8" HDD.
It very small and enough space to storage.

I'm a bit confused - are you using the Asus Transformer's keyboard dock's USB port? The TF doesn't come with a USB port onboard right? Unless you have some kind of USB dongle that plugs into the proprietary port?

Using a seagate expansion 500gb
My Toshiba 1TB works perfectly out of the box with this tablet. Strongly recommended.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
works great with the dock
I use a 500gb mypassport.
It is powered over USB. It works great when plugged into the dock.
I also have an AC powered WD 1tB hdd that works fine too.
Both are NTFS.
Isn't it awesome to be able to play movie content from your NTFS, USB powered drive on your TF? I love laughing at my wife using her iPad.
Any external hard drive basically works...
I use a Seagate 500gb in one of those external cases from DX and it works perfectly well.
Hi, can anyone tell me is there is something i have to do in order to connect my prime to my tv?.
I used to be able to do it with my xoom but for some reason i can't see anything with my prime.
Thanks in advance.
Nope. Just plug in your micro hdmi into the prime and the other end intothe tv. That all i needed to. It should be the same for you

that's weird, i can't see anything. another issue with this thing man.
What doyou mean you "cant see anything" are you sure the tv is set to hdmi. What does the prime say/do?

Hdmi is one feature that does work (just plug and play). If yours does not you may have a dud cable, dud hdmi port on he tv or the prime. My first bet is on user error (make sure you're on correct input, etc) and the second is on a dud cable.
i'm sorry, i just found out the cable is the problem, thanks for the replies guys.
Hi
What do you think about charges/cables for Eee Pad - off eBay?
Say i am thinking about to get this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2M-USB-Charg...329?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256e4131e9
Are they safe/good to use on Eee Pads?
Tnx
You want it too be longer or need a new one... if you want it to be longer you just use a male + female 3.0 usb adapter... a 2.0 usb cant transfer enought power quick enough

Again... dont spread misinformation. You are wrong.
On ethernet the stock browser has no lags...... I connected a Linksys USB200M v2 adapter....I am gettting full bars on WiFi from my NetGear WNDR4500 router and lags persist.....Hope this helps ASUS with this problem.
How does it compare to desktop browsing loading times
So far so good on the ethernet here.
Most people who have the problem probably wouldn't if they would just go into Settings>Advanced in the browser and change "Enable plug-ins" to On Demand .. this stops the flash windows from auto loading and lagging it out
Nicely implemented by Asus, using the USB Ethernet Adaptor that came with Asus Zenbook.

does anyone know if this will work if you dont have the keyboard dock but use the usb kit instead?????

I am using that setting ever since I purchased device... still ethernet loads faster with no lags.... Have you tried on USB ethernet?
It hasn't lagged for me or given the wait window since someone recommended I do that on here so no actually don't need to.

It should work, but I would advice against using it because the network adaptor will increase the power drain quite a bit. Further more, the way it is connected to the prime makes it hard for the user to use the tablet properly without stressing the physical connection of the USB kit to the prime.

Search for the USB to Cat5 thread, there is a post about an adapter from monoprice that works fine and was very reasonable.

I bought a cheap one off ebay that was "compatible" with the Macbook Air for about a fiver and that is working fine.
I happen to have a PS3 controller, so I'd like to try playing the good old MC3 on my TF300 with it. I have everything set up perfectly, the controller is detected by the sixaxis app (it says 'client connected: 1' when I power on the controller), and I have obviously selected sixaxis as default input method. However for some reason the controller doesn't do anything, not even in the UI. Any hints? I'd really love to try this thing out
One more thing, this is a GameStop controller, not a stock PS3 one, but honestly I think it should work just fine since it uses the same frequency of the standard one. On the box there's written it uses sixaxis technology and all that jazz...

DId you download the modern combat 3 profile that JGAF created and select that in the app? I had a problem with my first controller because it wasnt OEM, and I could not get the one controller light to stay on, so i think ur ok in that department.
And you've paired the controller using the bluetooth mac address on the TF300, using the sixaxis pair tool on ur PC correct ???

Yes, I used the PC tool and paired the controller properly. I've also loaded the mc3 profile, and the controller light stays on...here's why it's weird, everything should be working just fine, basically it looks like the keys on the controller aren't working, maybe I got a defective one??

As stated in the description of the Sixaxis app many generic controllers don't work with it, you should get an original one.

Hmm I think so, I guess I got fooled a little by that guy at the shop a few days back. He told me that this one was as good as the original one, with the same frequency and all that
I'll bring it back to the shop tomorrow, hopefully I'll be able to get at least a discount on an original one or something, they're so freaking expensive...

Just a little update: I grabbed an original controller from a friend and now everything works. Cool stuff. I'd just love to have a way to increase sensitivity a lil more (via game settings isn't enough for me), but that's nitpicking. Coming from PC gaming no controller can ever be sensitive enough for my needs I guess
Lesson learned: stay stay away from GameStop controllers.

You can change sensitivity directly on the profile. Which game do you want to change?

OK I made some minor changes to the delay time, the sensitivity was set to max though. Try it out and see if you see any changes. I can't try it since I don't have the game installed. I overwrote the profile in my drop box with the new one, so you can download it from my profile thread.
