Dear users,

I am a new with my padfone but several days was trying to connect it to my PC. however with no luck.
I am trying to upload movie to my padfone and since it is 4 GB I cannot use free could service etc.
What is the best way to connect to PC? my USB connection seems not to work since ASUS Sync gives message NO DEVICE FOUND when I connect it.
Any suggestions?
Greatly greatly appreciate.

Well have you tried to put USB debugging on?

Setting>devoplement>and check de box "usb debugging"

Also when it is connected check if it is a media disk
Pull down and see what it says by the USB

Asus sync is only for contacts and calender. You must acces it with windows explorer

Dear Damion78
Thank for such quick reply.
Indeed I forgot to mention that I have tried debugging.
But in the meanwhile I found a decision (partly).
I managed to connect Padfone to PC without Station (just a phone).
I wonder if there is a possibility to connect Station with phone docked in to PC?

Just tried: Padfone 2 to PC OK, Padfone 2 in Station to PC not OK.
Guess Station socket is just for OTG cable......

Firstly, the PadFone 2 uses the new JellyBean file system (ext3) in order to produce a "big data" filespace - this means that it no longer supports USB device transfers and instead relies on MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). This is something all new 'phones are moving to, and has both advantages and disadvantages.

Secondly, "USB Debugging" mode is not used for file transfers (and never was); it's used to enable ADB access to the device while Android is running (without "USB Debugging" enabled, ADB can only be used while in the bootloader or recovery).

I have never used Asus Sync (I refuse to allow Adobe AIR anywhere near my computer, and prefer not to install 250Mb+ of software whose aim is to impede my usability of a device), but my assumption would be that you have to enable Asus Sync in the settings on the 'phone before you can use it - Settings->Asus Customized Setting->Launch ASUS Sync.

Windows from XP SP3 onwards supports MTP natively through the libraries included with Windows Media Player, so you don't need to use any "synchronisation" software if you don't absolutely want to - simply plug your 'phone in and its file system will be presented to you for copying files to/from your computer. Just make sure that the Asus Sync software is not running on your computer when you plug it in, and Windows should pop up a dialogue asking what you want to do (Play, Copy, Open, etc.), just like when you plug in a USB flash drive.

As a final option if absolutely all else fails, you can transfer files between your 'phone and computer using a USB flash drive and OTG cable.

Do you have the 32-bit version of Java Runtime installed on your machine? You might have the 64-bit version installed, which'll allow the Asus application to install itself (as it can sense an installation of Java), but when it comes time to run, it fails because it's only a 32-bit application and you don't have the 32-bit Java Runtime.

For what it's worth, Oracle recommends that you have both versions installed on a 64-bit system. I can't say this is a definite, but certainly worth looking into.

In the meantime, you might want to install AirDroid from the Play store - it'll allow you to access your 'phone from your computer - any computer - via WiFi and your web browser, and you can transfer files in both directions as well as do much more (an amazing application considering it's free!).

I must say that I find this very weird. I have a Windows 7 64-bit version running without any problems. I can see what the version/type of Java is I have installed but never had any problems.

To use it I at first didn't install ASUS Sync, it had been detected right away as USB storage by my computer.

hi Mr.JHS_NL.

what I and Mr.Ego1st are saying about is: ASUS sync. Not about usb mass storage. Yes we both are able to plug in the padfone2 to our computer and our computer detected it as PADFONE2 ( but is just a usb mass storage device) .

Asus Sync is an Asus app used to sync calender, contacts, install apps.

JHS_NL:
Please download ASUS sync( ASUS pc suit) from asus website and try it out your self. Please let us know if the ASUS Sync software detects your phone or not.

I installed it already but must say that I never use it. I only use the usb cable to put large files on it.
