Hi, newbie here. My GT-P7500 won't connect to PC, red X appear on the battery icon. I tried connecting with a new original USB cable at local store, still the same. Maybe someone knows an advance way to root this device without connecting via USB? I know this is an old device, I should just thinking about getting a newer device, but it's just not my style to dump things knowing it is still usable. So thank you for anything you might suggest to me.
Uhm... The red X should be on the battery icon - USB charging is disabled by default due to the really slow charging time.
So, unless there are other problems, you don't seem to have a USB connection problem at all.

You're being so sophisticated, I couldn't get what you trying to tell me. Could you be a little more simple? What are you trying to tell me? Why the red X should be on the battery icon? Doesn't it indicate that something is wrong?

It should be there on stock ics because USB charging isn't enabled by default on the stock kernel (I think ). About your problem, do you have the correct drivers installed?

Trust me, I wouldn't have created this thread if I hadn't tried all the basics. The only thing I can hope now is a magic to root this device without connecting via USB. :cyclops:

Try connecting it again using different cables. Go ahead and check out if your computer reads it. You can try it on a different computer or just check if MTP Application is enabled and if USB Debugging is enabled under Settings.

Is there something extra I have to do to activate USB Host on the HD2 with v0.2? Hosting was working fine with 0.1 but the same cable refuses to recognise with 0.2 now. What's more is, it doesn't even come up in the kernel at boot anymore.
119 views and no one knows? Please guys I need to get this sorted. I'm going to try something that you all may be interested in. Bumping.

Is your phone charging when you are booting on Ubuntu?
USB Host is working for me when I disable the 'USB charging' in WM. If I enable it, my phone is charging while using ubuntu, but I can't use USB Host at all.
Something strange btw: when I boot on Ubuntu charging, and then I disconnect the cable, my charging LED keep working (orange led, as if I was charging) without any power source!

Wow. Wow wow wow. You sir are incredible. It worked. Now to go try what I was initially going to do. If it works, I'll post it up.
Thank you for this thread. You helped me out.
I did a search and found that no one has posted this problem on this forum - I'm the only one ??
My prime use to hooked up with my PC with no problems. At some point recently (I'm thinking the recent ICS update) my PC & Prime had a parting of ways. Now I plug in the Prime and get 'USB device not recognized'.
Downloaded and ran Asus Sync hoping that a driver vanished but no luck.
I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit). Has anyone else noticed the same problem and if so - how did you fix it ?
Thanks
I have three computers, and none of them even recognize my prime anymore, not even in Device Manager. This started after I got it back from RMA.
I, myself, am not particularly concerned about it, since I'm just waiting for the Infinity to come out; the Prime I will just pass on to a family member. If the Infinity was going to be released in the far flung future, I'd send it back.

Did you try this for the Prime ? I did not see the Prime on the supported list.
Thanks
I Have the problem as well...thought it was the cable but half happy to see it probably isnt
hey everyone, and I'm so happy to see this thread, but have you guys had similar issues to Mines?
Hello Everyone, I'll try to short and to the point. I've been searching xda/google/androidcentral on and off since maybe early Februrary and still nothing, maybe someone has some awesome insight.
So my computer won't detect my TP anymore for file transfer. It did maybe the first month or so though.
Here's what I've tried so far, with no luck.
- Different Computers - Different Cables - New Asus Brand OEM USB Cable - Aftermarket USB Cable - Different USB Ports (Front and Back of Computer) - USB Debugging Mode - Uninstalled Drivers on my PC to try and get table to re-install it. - Factory Reset (multiple times with and without auto-backup) - Connecting From KeyboardDock to Computer
I convinced my cousin to buy a TP and Dock the other week so I also got to try some extra stuff.
- I plugged His TP with His USB cable to His PC and it connected fine.
- I plugged His TP with His USB cable to MY PC and it connected fine.
- I plugged MY TP with His USB cable to His PC and it wouldn't detect.
- I plugged MY TP with His USB cable to MY PC and it wouldn't detect.
I also tried his TP with my USB cables (both oem and aftermarket) on my PC and it connected fine.
Here's Some additional Info, that may be helpful.
I was previously able to connect to my HDMI ports on my TV via micro HDMI, but that does not work anymore either.
I've seen a few people mention serial numbers, so here's some Info, not sure if it's the correct info.
My TP - TF201-B1-CG - S/N starts with a "B" His TP - TF201-B1-GR - S/N starts with a "C"
I thank you all for your time and any insight is much appreciated.
Called ASUS support - I'm the first that they have ever heard that problem. They suggested a factory reset but first I must back the data up. Never done a factory reset, I hope Voodoo will keep the root.
When I finally try it - I'll let you know what happens.
Cool thanks NewbieKeepItSimple, I hope we get this sorted ou!
Hey everyone, I have some more interesting info regarding the USB issue. I didn't want to suspect this as a problem, but yea it looks like it may be an actual bad port on the TFP itself.
My reasoning is that I got my free GPS dongle in the mail today and it won't work. Anyone else test this yet?
Another Question, as far as RMAs go, do we HAVE to call in? Anyone know for sure? I know there's forums, but trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

But you guys are charging fine? Just not connecting to the PC's? Have you had a good look at the connectors both on the cable and the Prime, nothing obvious? You all have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers right? Or maybe tried the universal naked driver utility?

Yep, charges fine. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong with cables and connectors.
As far as trying universal naked driver, I'm pretty sure drivers aren't the issue since I tried a whole different TFP with the same computers and cables (stated above) and it connected and installed the drivers correctly.

My Prime was sync'd at work with my contacts and I put movies on from my home PC. Now neither PC can communicate with the Prime.
There is somethings with the Prime and USB ports that seem a little goofy. I have a USB memory on my keychain that I use for my work files. One of the things I wanted to do with the Prime is access and work on my files during business trips. The work USB memory is 4GB Fat 32 but the Prime can't see it even though all other computers can see it. Plug in an older 2GB memory - the Prime can see it. Plug in my Apple iPhone - the Prime can see it. Plug in some other USB memories no problem but my work USB is invisible.
I really can't see any reason for the Prime to suddenly become invisible to computers but I will try the factory reset once I get my memory 64GB SDcard next week.

that's so frustrating. factors reset didn't work for me but I'm wishing luck to you.
Ok.. something to try before going directly to wiping your Prime...
First, try plugging it into a different USB port. This will cause the PC to try and load a new driver.
If that fails, click Start, right click on Computer and select Manage. Look for an entry called "Portable Devices" and under that "Transformer Prime TF201".
If you don't have that at all, then the system has failed to identify the device entirely.. try it with another PC (take it to a Best Buy and plug it in.. ). If it fails there, then something has changed in your Prime. If you've flashed the ROM, it's possible that's the problem.
If you DO see the entry, but the PC isn't recognising it - right click on the entry for the Prime and select 'Uninstall'. On the dialogue box that pops up, check "Delete the driver software for this device" and let it do its thing.
Unplug the Prime, then plug it back in. It should download a new driver for the Prime. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
I've never heard of an Android device's ADB USB port failing - it's entirely possible of course - but we have five here.. which is pretty amazing.

I'm not holding out much hope either but who knows. The ASUS is rooted but I haven't flashed anything. Another tack I tried is using the just the tablet then keyboard connection but both give the same results.
If I'm connecting to two different spots that on the Prime (dock/Tablet) and there are two different interfacing chip sets involved. Maybe it is a software bug that is screwing up how the Prime addresses the USB (protocol).

hmm even if it was 2 different chip sets it'd still have to go through the main one. it'd be great if it was software based issue

hi guys,
after abit of help. i bought a hdmi adaptor, from amazon this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NNOA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
so that i would be able to play content from my phone straight through to my tv. I also bought a new hdmi lead and i connected using the phone charger and lead that came with the phone.
When i plug it all together it shows on the phone that hdmi out is connected and i can display video or photos on the external device. But no matter what i do i cannot get a picture to display on the tv.
Am i doing something wrong? Or does it never work? I tried rebooting the phone i tested the hdmi lead to make sure it works. Is there another option on the phone i need to select to i need to use a different app?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you on the stock rom/kernel? I can't say I use this feature as much as I thought I would, but I have noticed some kernels break this feature (though I can't say which ones anymore - been a while) and I've seen some roms break this as well. I don't know if this was a placebo or what, but I also noticed that it broke for me after removing some of Sprint's or HTC's bloatware... I think it was the transfer app, but it doesn't make much sense to me why.
I'd try it on a full stock rom/kernel first to make sure it's not software related. Then try it on multiple TVs. I actually had an experience once where it wouldn't display on my TV, but worked fine on my HDMI enabled pc monitor - same symptoms you're describing. Tried different kernel, all was better. But I've also read about people just having a bad mhl adapter or bad hdmi cable too.
As above it needs to be supported by rom and kernal. Try a stock configuration and see what happens. If that fails it might be a faulty adaptor, these cheap ones are known to fail easily.
i appreciate your guys help. i am on stock rom/kernal. my tv is pretty new. The phone is showing as having a hdmi connection so wasn't sure if it could still be the adaptor? i will try it on another tv at the weekend. if it still doesn't work maybe send the adaptor back?
so it should display whilst playing a film through the stock video player? i dont need to use a special programme or anything else?
It automatically displays whatever is on the phone's screen. No need for anything special beyond plugging it in. It could still be a faulty adapter even though the phone shows hdmi.
Another idea might be to double check your tv out settings on the phone. Make sure those are correct.

You have to have it plugged into the wall outlet as well. Just a thought

Hi all,
Until a few days ago, even with ICS installed, is was possible for me to connect my phone(Xperia S) on my MacBook Pro and browser trough my phone, using Bridge for Mac(BfM). But now my Mac can't find my phone anymore.
Now, when I connect my phone, BfM scans for a device but it can't find it, even when while keeping it connected for 15 minutes it still doesn't do a thing.
I already tried to use/not use USB-debugging but it didn't help. Android File Transfer did not work for me either. I already restarted my phone, my computer, BfM, ATF and re-connected my phone through my mini-USB. All without any result.
When I have my phone connected, BfM is saying: Detecting phone... and the (some sort of icon) is spinning. When I check my notifications in my Xperia S it says: Internal memory connected Internal memory is connected with the PC
I run ICS on my Xperia S. It is not rooted or flashed in any other way. So just retail.
Sorry for my bad English. I am Dutch so some terms/phrases may not be the same.
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance!

I know that Apple product may have some problems concerning compatibility and such. But there must be an other way to fix this right? Before it has worked, so why it doesn't do now?
I don't feel like using my phone in Windows so I need reboot and such.. Must be a solution I think.
Airdroid is the answer
Just install Airdroid on your Xperia S.
Makes file transfers easy as pie!!
And it's compatible with ANY browser too!!

Looks good on first look! I will instal, try it later and will let you know.
But how about updates? Bridge for Mac provides these and with AirDroid(from which I saw) it doesn't do updates. Am I right? So what about this..
Thanks anyway!
Did you update to Bridge 3.0? Also when I plug my phone in I have Bridge closed. Unlock the phone then open bridge. Seems to work pretty good that way. Sometimes I still have to disconnect and reconnect a couple times.

I have a non-original USB cable for my x10 mini to charge and connect to the PC but it only charges. When I connect the phone to the PC with the cable, the green LED lights and nothing happens. There is no sign of connection neither on the phone nor on the PC. I have gone through all the USB ports shown in the "Devices Management" and there is nothing there. I have tried every USB port on my PC.
Is there something I can do to correct this problem?
P.S. I don't have the original cable because I broke it accidentally.
A lot of cables don't work for power+data. I also broke my original cable and I now use the one from my Amazon kindle because it works for both. I also know samsung cables work so see if you can get hold of either of them.

I think most cables it's a case of power or data, not both. I have the kindle cable that I mentioned that works lie stock and a cable I bought to replace the stock that only does power and my dad's ZTE blade cable that only does data. Any cable advertised as power and data should work, if not you should be able to return it as not working as advertised. Well, you can in the UK at least.
