Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M) - Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers

Hi All,
Apologies If I'm posting in the wrong place.
My partner has just purchased the Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M)
When it's connected to my Win 10 laptop by USB cable only the PC Suite is visible as a CD drive. The internal memory isn't visible for transferring music etc. I E-mailed support and was advised to carry out a factory reset. I have done this and it is still the same. How do I get rid of the CD drive and enable the internal memory to be visible ?

When its connected to your computer open up the cd drive that it mounts as and there should be some software available for you to install which will allow you to interact with the tablet with software that is meant specifically for it. You can also pull down the quick settings banner when the tablet is connected and you should see a notification saying the tablet is charging or that its connected to a pc, click that notification and you should have a few options to choose from. Charging, using to transfer photos, transfer media files MTP, Install software. Something along those lines.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem I had was the software I wanted to use (Calibre) worked outside the PC Suite software that it was trying to install. Thankfully after a firmware upgrade to Android 7.0 the problem went away, and I can now see the internal memory.

[APP] WM5torage

This is not my application, it's an app by Ingvarr (a MoDaCo user). Ingvarr has released this app which reached version 1.9 over the time.
This program will export the flash memory card inside the smartphone as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. Its completely free, but if you find it useful, you can show your gratitude by donating to author: Make A Donation!
With WM5torage you can attach your device to a PC just like you would with regular Flash Drives or Removable Disks, skipping the ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center connection. This is especially useful because it offers higher transfer speeds and in scenarios when you do not want to sync with your PC or set up sync on another PC. WM5torage works on both Professional and Standard versions of Windows Mobile 5 or higher. If you are having problems with the operation, use the options in Troubleshooting.

For the FAQ and original post on MoDaCo click here...
the diamond already has an option for this when you connect to the PC?
choose between active sync or Disk Drive yes?
yes, you can select to connect with activesync or via usb mode.
the app is unuseful... (BTW i have used it with my previous pdas)

My Device does not give me the option of connecting via Activesync or USB mode!
goto setting - connections - USB to PC
then check if 'ask me first about USB connection...' is selected
I got that, thanks anyway.

A500, moving files, a better way?

Obviously the default method of moving files (MTS I think) is horrible. I can remove the external SD card and copy files over from and to it via an adapter, but while that is faster it is annoying to do day in and day out (as I want to continually) update the device as I consume information (read TV shows and Movies) on the train. Also this method does not allow for easy access to the internal storage. Is there a way to change the access method so I can mount the disk as I would with with my ATRIX (MSC I Think). Or should I look into using a network mounted FileSysem?
Thanks,
ERIC
Paw Server
so what you want is to transfer files from/to your tablet to/from another device? if so, i can suggest you Paw server. I use it on my A500 and my I9000: it turns your device into a kind of web server: file transfer, send sms, .... very usefull and all you need on the other device is a web browser. you can then access your device through a web page. see screenshot.

Hello All,
As the title says, I am unable to transfer my data from PC to my phone, the moment I connect my phone to PC, I get a balloon notification that USB is not recognized
I have another phone Samsung Star, no issues with this phone, I can easily transfer data from PC to phone. No errors on screen.
Note - I had a problem with my Micromax phone charging two months back, I went to service center, my phone was with them for a month. After repair, the charge issue was fixed, however I could not never connect my phone to the PC.
Please help, hopefully below pictures would help!

Motoactv 2015 Questions

Info
+ Clean install of Windows 10
+ Motorola USB drivers installed
+ Installed the latest Motoactv firmware (MA 1.7.10 N8) and rooted
+ Installed TCX exporter since Motoactv site is unreliable/dying.
Boast
+ This device is still amazing. Its battery life on marathon mode actually lasted as I finished a marathon. There is no competitor out there that has 8GB storage for music, decent battery life and doesn't cost over $200, even the upcoming TomTom Spark.
Problems
- Motoactv doesn't charge when plugged into a wall charger. Will only charge using a USB port.
- Cannot make the device show up as a USB storage device so I can sync with Doubletwist
- Cannot sync with iTunes due to problems with Motocast, Nero/Motorola Media Link software
-- Despite updating to the latest Java 32 and 64 bit, I'm still greeted with this message:

Question
How can I enable usb storage on the fly without having to run the MotoACTV Root Tool and "stop adb and enable USB"?
Why does the Motoactv not charge when using a wall charger?
Bump.
adb shell am start -a com.android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS: Gives option on Actv screen to disable USB Debugging (turn off ADB permanently). Note, you can only access this option WITH ADB, so once you turn it off, you can only gain ADB back by reflashing the boot image (generally the 1.6.0 boot image).
Found this from: http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/useful_adb_fastboot_command
Worked great on my motoactv and my friends. If I remember correctly you want to make sure the screen not asleep on the motoactv when you run the command. Hope this helps! Still loving my motoactv.

View files on PC using adoptable storage

I know that adoptable storage is encrypted, but is there any way to easily transfer the contents from my phone to my PC now? I just want to take pictures off and move them onto a network drive. I have TWRP 3.0.0.0, MM (without the Feb security update, since that still won't install), and an unlocked bootloader. I am NOT rooted, but am willing to do so if that will solve this issue.
Haven't heard of anyone successfully doing this as of yet. Perhaps a future Android update will fix this or a solution will arrive via a xposed module. The best workaround currently is to backup photos to Google drive (or some other service like OneDrive) and retrieve that way.
Sent from my awesome phone!
I have access to my files on PC.

Is your SD card set as portable storage or as Adoptable storage? I know that portable storage allows PC access (since it is not encrypted), but have been unable to access from my PC since converting to adoptable.
Adopted of course. You allow access and it still doesn't show on PC?

Well, what do you mean by 'allow access'? Are you talking about one of the options from the USB debugging notification in Android, or something different?

Whoa- I definitely have tried messing with those USB settings to no avail, but when I looked at your screenshot, I noticed that you had USB debugging turned off (mine was on).
When I turned it off, I could now see the SD card listed in Windows (progress!) but got a new error coming from Windows:
"The device is currently busy and its contents many not be fully displayed. If another application is copying data to or from the device, please wait for it to finish and then retry."
When i click 'Ok', it returns me to the Windows Explorer screen showing my SD Card as empty. When i re-clicked on the SD Card in the Explorer nav bar, after a few tries i could see my files (i sometimes have to change the 'Use USB for' setting for some reason. Sometimes Transfer Photos seems to work, and sometimes Transfer Files. I'm not sure why the erratic behavior, because i can now at least get to my files as needed.
It seems that (at least for me), I need to turn off USB debugging to see my files. Has this always been the case? I can't remember needing to disable it in the past- maybe it behaves differently now.
Either way, many, many thanks!
No it works fine with debugging turned on as well. I suspect a driver issue with Windows. Or, a faulty cable.
