I love my keyboard dock. It's very easy to use, but one thing that's annoying is SD memory cards won't show up in the Gallery when they are mounted. The mount point is /Removable/SD/
I can copy the photos over, but I'd like to be able to view and upload them to the web from the card.
Anyone know of a solution?

When using a microSD in the TF itself, the photos show up in the gallery app. Is this different from using the dock's SD reader? I don't have the dock.
If yes, THIS is your solution as it was mine. I use the microSD with adapter in my Canon G12 and put the microSD directly into my TF's microSD reader, start the gallery and view the photos from the microSD card.
PS: The microSD images showed up in the gallery after opening one of the images with the file manager app.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have one of those adapters. I'd like to be able to keep my 16GB microSD in the TF at all times and use my 16GB SD card in the camera as well. I can always dump the photos onto my home server for safe keeping.
I do have an 8GB micro-SD that I could probably use in the Oly Pen camera, but again I do like having my 16GB card in there for the HD video.
I hope Asus comes out with a firmware update that addresses this issue. I'm sure I won't find many iPad lovers in here, but it sure was nice being able to import photos from the SD card to the gallery. The dongle sure did suck. Maybe I'll have to simply breakdown and get a 16 or 32gb micro-sd card.
Thanks again

Benn lurking here for a few days trying to soak in all the info I can until I get my G-Tab from the last woot-off in. Let me start out by saying that the community that has grown around this tablet is great. Lots of good info and work being done to push the G-tab to its potential. Thanks to the Devs and everyone else who contributes.
So my question is this ...... After doing some research I plan to install Vegan 5.1 on my G-Tab when it arrives. I will be sharing the tab with my wife who is a photographer. She said the main feature she wants is to be able to use the tablet to proof her photographs with her clients after a photo shoot. Meaning she will be taking the SD card out of the camera and using a USB memory card reader to access the SD card on the G-Tab. Will this be possible to do on the G-Tab? Is there an app or software that would be better for viewing pictures off of an SD card?
From what I've read so far there seems to be a problem with the tablet not recognizing sdcard2 right? or is there a workaround or fix for this?
Please let me know any suggestions you guys have on how she will have to go about viewing the pictures off of an SD card. I am open to installing different ROMS than Vegan if I have too.
Thanks in advance.
I think there may be some more experienced replies than mine, my experience with the g-tab is still new, however an approach that should work would be to use a mini-sd card in a sleeve, in her camera, then take out the mini-sd and pop that into the g-tab slot. Then you can use the file brower/manager app on the g-tab and browse the mini sd; should be able to just tab an image and show.
Thanks for the reply Riccarr. That sounds like an option but dont want to have to buy all new micro cards unless that is the only option. But I will keep that in mind.
Does anyone else know if its a problem reading jpegs off an sd card through the usb port using a usb card reader? Please share your experiences on viewing pics from a card and if there are any problems I should be ready for.Thanks
I've heard that you can run an SD Card reader off the USB port, in VEGAn 5.11 at least. I've not tried it myself, although I can let you know later tonight as I'm about to head out and buy one.
GoPro HD camera takes an SD card, and I want to be able to view my trackday runs on the tablet while at the track. In glorious HD.
First off I would suggest installing VEGAn-TAB 7.0 instead of earlier Beta version. That's mainly because it is working so well for me. I've had no problems loading .jpg files (of photographs) as well as video files on both the external 16gb micro SD Card and 8gb USB Flash Drive. I've also been able to copy files back and forth between the internal and external SD drives. The USB Flash Drive can be used to copy files to the internal SD drive or to simply use as a second drive to play videos or display photograhs (.jpg files). To copy and paste a file from a drive to go to another drive, simply press and hold the file to be copied and a menu is displayed. Select copy. Then go to the drive and folder you want to paste the file. From the copy/paste notification (press the icon displayed at bottom center) select the file or folder to be pasted. The paste process can be displayed via the notifications window (from the icons on the lower left of the window, press the icon furthest to the right). Curiously enough, the safest place to store and view either videos or .jpg files seems to be the USB Flash Drive. The internal and external SD cards work fine as well, but there does seem to be a problem at times with these files simply disappearing. Good luck.

VEGAn 7.0 RC does work well, and it's arguably the prettiest ROM out there. I've only not gone to it due to the lack of hardware acceleration for video decoding, I'm worried it would result in poor HD playback.
Ok, now on to the card reader. I bought a cheap-o USB reader from Office Depot for $12.99. I'm currently streaming "I am Murloc" from a 2GB Kingston SD card.
Note: The card had to be reformatted in FAT32 for it to work. NTFS will supposedly work for VEGAn as well, but I've not tested if my camera can read either. FAT32 should be safe.
Edit: Spoke too soon. It's working fine as long as I don't put it in the camera. Once it's been in the camera, I can't access it anymore. Not sure why...
Edit 2: Er... ok, now it's working again. Apparently there needs to be something in the root folder for it to pick it up, another folder doesn't work? Will have to test more.
Hi,
I have used a SD card adapter which has an 16GB microSD card inside it. The card doesn't show in the Settings->Storage. Can anyone help me?
first of all, make sure the card is formated in FAT32.
The tablet won't read it if it's not.

The SD card will never show there. It's not a part of the system storage.
Mine is plugged in now and you can only use the preloaded sony software 'file transfer' to move files to and from it.
The app 'file manager HD (honeycomb) ' by RHYTHM from the market is a must have if you own this tablet and an SD card!! You can still load all your videos and extra files on the SD and view/use them with that application without having to copy them to the system. I use it as the time

I've actually gone back from ES to Astro again. Once you change the settings to make the SD and USB shortcuts point to the right place, the experience is really effortless and seamless. Just my $0.02 obviously.
Ihad the same problem with my 32gb sd card until I formatted it, but now I have only 3.2gb left internally and no way to transfer my game files over to improve the internal memory.OMG.
What wereSony thinking of, I woulde never have bought this if I only had 8.5gb of space.

You must have filled her up hard? I got 3.3GB+5.4GB free on my two "internal" and about 25GB free on my 128GB SDXC card.
lol, yeah, pretty hard. GTA3, brothers in arms and adrenalin 6 are only a few. When i used my Dell Streak I used my 32gb class 10 card and it was half full with games.
I am now having to be a little more selective with what I put on, which isn't that hard since a lot of the games are having incompatibility issues.

I got like 7 psone games and five others on my tablet and still a lot of space. I guess mine is kinda small compared to yours. But the psone at least take a few hundred mb each.
don't know if you already solved your problem but I've inserted a brand new sandisk sdhc card and it wans't recognized either. Then I've tested a lexar sdhc card and no good either.
Conclusion to get recognized:
Open "file transfer" app it's one of your sony s apps
then insert the sdcard and automagically the sdcard was recognized and I can use it
It seems stupid but worked

I have a 32 gig card in my RAZR and it is still saving all my pictures and all my music I download from my Amazon Cloud player to internal memory. This is really dumb when I have all the space on the card. So far I can’t figure out how to make it go to the 32 gig card... How do I do that?
Data on memory card
Yesterday I put in my razr xt910 new 16GB card. When inserted pop up screen was shown and asked me if I want to put my photos, music and videos on external sd card. Confirmed it and phone by it self move data to external sd card.
After that taken pictures are stored at sd card. To be honest for downloaded music and videos I don know because did not try.
I would try to unmount card, (settings, storage, unmount card) take it out from the phone and put it back. Watch the screen and confirm pop up window
I hope I helped you.
Regards from Serbia.
I don't know about Amazon MP3, but I know Google Music won't save to the external SD card. There is a setting in the camera app to choose internal or external storage.
The Droid X2 has a hack that will swap the mount locations of /sdcard and /sd-ext. If we show enough interest someone that knows what they're doing will probably do the same for the Razr. +1 from me.
Look in dev section..someone already posted a switcher to let phone use external as internal and vice versa...will solve this

Hi.
I have the problem that the 8 GB of the internal store are full.
The problem is that games and HTC Watch dont use the SD card for saving data. Is there a solution to save the data on the SD card and not on the Tablet store?
Sorry for bad english.

hello!
in order to put htc watch and apps onto the sd card, i believe rooting is necessary and you need to download from the play shop: apps2sd. either that, or connect to your pc as a disk drive and move and music and pictures and other stuff like that onto the sd card so you can fit your apps and watch stuff into the tablets storage fully. hope i helped!
Hi
I've tried copying files, from both a USB stick plugged into the dock, and also SD cards in the dock, to the internal memory, and I can never get it to complete. Sometimes it just fails straight away, other times it will start copying but then fail mid way through. I've tried copying single files as well as entire folders, I've tried with the default file manager and also Astro.
Any clues? On holiday at the moment and could do with copying some photos onto the tablet.

Why not try just copying it to the MicroSD on the tablet instead?

Dont have a microSD card installed, just the internal memory.
I'm trying to copy files off an SD card onto the internal memory, keeps crashing, any clues?
I have the same issue. Sometimes using astro or es file manager works. But its really slow either way. I think its due to the I/O issue on the prime.
