USB connection with ICS?

[starbuckk]

Anyone having problems connecting the Touchpad running ICS to a computer with the USB cable? When I connect, the Android says "Android Debugging Enabled". But the computer gives an error on the device driver. So I can't mount a card to transfer files.

Is this a known problem with the ICS Alpha 2 build? If so, would one of the nightlies fix it? I really don't want to mess with nightlies but if one of them comes out stable enough to function well and fixes this and potentially other issues I'll go for it.

You need to enable MBT. I do not have the TP with me right now, but do a google search and you'll find where the setting is.

I have exactly the same problem. Tried looking for enabling MBT but couldn't find anything, so if you could post details when you have the chance that would be great.

At the moment, I copy my required files to my server share (you could share a folder on your PC instead). Then I use Astro file manager (with the SMB option downloaded) to connect to my share and copy the files. It's obviously not the same a connecting via USB, but it gets the job done, and Astro is so good that it's easy to do

Hope this helps

Go to settings, storage then press the 3 small squares in the top right corner and press "usb computer connection". There you will find "media device (mtp)" make sure its got a check by it.

Yup that's it. Now I remembered how I did mine.

Thanks. Found the setting and flipped it. But in the meantime I also found WiFi File Transfer which allows over the network transfers using a web browser on the PC. Works great, no need for a cable and can use other apps on the pad while it is running. Plus it has a nice interface for transferring pictures.

Thanks for the instructions. They work great with a Windows PC.....
However I'm gonna be a bit awkward here - I'm running Linux so the TP isn't recognised when I plug it in. Any ideas on how to get mtp working with Linux?

I think you would need to try and get some linux drivers that would recognize the touchpad, it's not something i've heard anything about though apart from that the android settings would be the same I'd imagine.

If you reboot into recovery you may be able to get linux to recognize the touchpad when you go in to the file transfer mode.

Thanks for the information. Seems like Linux has been overlooked with this.
No worries, I'll either use a windows PC to transfer files (unlikely as my main PC is Linux) or just stay with my original method of using Astro file manager to copy files from a share.
