Does anyone know if this one will work in the TF300T?
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...64G-U46A/dp/B007WTAJTO/ref=reg_hu-rd_add_1_dp
Yeah, it should work without trouble. Of course only with adapter (which is, as I can see, in the package).

I don't understand. I have a 32GB MicroSD in the tablet (not speaking of dock) now and it has no adapter. Am I missing something?
Yes it will work right in the tablet. I have one in mine as I type this. The real nice thing is it doesn't even need formatted to fat32 like I had to do with the one I put in my HTC Rezound. The TF300 reads the exfat format.
I have one and it works fine. When you use the adapter you will be asked to scan for errors every time you plug it into your PC. Go with the default settings for faster use...
Be careful when putting it in different tablets because you may lose all your data...
Aww sorry, my mistake, totally forgot that there is also slot in the tablet itself (long usage of TF300T with the dock is messing up with my brain xD).
It WORKS!!! 100%
I'm using it since august, and no problem.

Just curious, what are you guys using all that memory for? I can't imagine using all that on a tab, then again, I have a small HD on my laptop and haven't even used half of it (most of the used space is junk that needs to be deleted).

I use mine instead of laptop. 20gb emulator roms (nes, snes, n64, psx) and also play lots of old games under dos emulator, hd videos, Spotify cache... Easy Peasy After upgrade to 96gb of total I know have 25gb free.

Thanks for the follow ups. Going to grab up one of these once I get my Amazon account paid down a bit.
Oh, To answer the WHY's as far as needing 64GB card:
-Movies
-Music
-Ect...
APPS, Cache (spotify, rdio, google music) movies rented, bought, downloaded (1080p), ROMS, and all those lovely gameloft apps that take up a gig or two definitely eat into the tablet memory.
Even though my external storage is 32 GB I have easily gone over that and gotten that stupid warning. I love my samsung 32gb class 10 micro sd but a 64GB would be a god send and I could use the other for my phone.
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to order one. Love the android packaging too and app that's included.
Android product placement=win
My 64GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD didn't work out of the box in my TF300, had to format it to NTFS.
works fine for me. Rooted running 4.1 hydro. Its on sale right now at best buy.com for $39.99.
Fyi, Jb do not support app to sd, so all the internal storage i will keep for apps and app data storage. Ext storage for music, movies, photos and emulator games.....

I wish I had 100gb of storage
Mine work fine out of the box. Maximum size is 59.45GB. To test it I fill it up with movies and play back all of them. All works correctly.
I use it for movies and App Bakup, could move some games to it (using App2SD) and later one (after warrenty out) store a copy of Nandroid backup (CWM or TRWP). Last time to use the Face Unlock feature (replacing PIN) I have to do Factory Reset. It wipe out everything on the internal SD. I did use App Backup to restore from microSD (external) and it works fine. I heard that TF700 cannot read it (exFat), must format it to NTFS, but TF300T (mine stock JB 4.1 not root, not unlock) can read/write it no problem.:victory:
yup, works perfectly
So the tablet could have 2 64GB SD cards using the tablet and the dock?
I only have a 32GB but with all my movies and music could really use as much space as possible. my pictures take up a gig alone. Plus I take videos with the tablet.

No, I don't think the Sony Tablet will accept SDXC cards.
I believe the SDHC cards only go up to 32GB.

hmm, im hoping a case is designed that will fit 3-4 32gb sd cards in so i can take my movie collection with me then.
There is a sony memory stick adapter not sdcard one which takes 2 microsds and makes them appear as one big one but i believe it is limited to 32gb. Does not help us but shows many things are possible. I noticed file expert app lists sdcard2 which is empty for me presumably because i don't have a physical one in yet, however it also lists usbdisk1 to usbdisk8 so maybe there will be some way of having sdcard3 etc or utilize usbdisks with sd adaptors. Hope it helps

Wait,so you can store stuff on the SD card without transferring them? I thought it was just for file transfer? :S I read it on the official Sony site.
Can anyone confirm?
You can store and play media off the SD-Card using the File Transfer app, it will only play one item at a time. The problem is that the native music/video apps will NOT scan the SD-Card slot for media, I believe this maybe just an error in coding, but I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area to more than speculate. I downloaded a 3rd party Music App and it showed that the tablet had 2 SD-Cards, the first was my actual storage (16gb), and the 2nd was the actual SD-Card (8gb). This is where maybe the coding is wrong and only looks at the first SD-Card, even though its technically not.

Yikes! It's possible to be fixed in an update down the line right? I'm considering this or the Transformer and I really like the Tablet S. Matches my Xperia Play.
No. It is not a coding error. It is google / Sony's intention to limit the use of SD card. Just like Apple, you understand.

It is possible to use SDXC cards as long as it is formatted by the tablet to FAT32(or on a computer). I am using a 128GB SDXC card without problem. I use Poweramp in order to view my music collection(45GB) and VitalPlayer Pro to play videos from the SD-card.

No its no joke, the problem is that the standard Gallery does not access the SD-card but I solved it by using QuickPic. QuickPic is a superb app that lets you specify which folders you want to view. I will try to make a Youtube to show what it looks like, probably on friday since I work long night shift now.
When it comes to Xperia Play I dont know but I guess it has microSD card slot? I know that some phones takes XC cards, among them is HTC Sensation.

You have to wait until it's rooted. Then change the USB host to use the ext drive

you can use an external HD as long as it is formatted FAT32 and it is up to 500gb, that's at least confirmed by Sony.

Any thoughts?

If you like gaming I'd definitely say this is the best tablet out. For the rest of the tasks it gets the job done too. It's tough too - I've dropped mine from waist height twice without any damage - not to say you should give it a try... There isn't a tablet out there that I'd rather have, and that's saying a lot cause usually these things become outdated within months or even weeks of release!
Fellow arc owner here, and and I say go for it. Very happy with my 16gb S but do note that only about half that storage is available to you. Not a problem if you plan on using a decent size sd card though.

Hi,
I got a 32Gb a week after it was released in the UK. Am very pleased with it so far. I suppose it's just a case of knowing that you aren't going to be able to do anything all that different with it, other than the things you can already do with a laptop. It's for emails / surfing / social networking and the bits and bobs you can already do with an Android phone.
The overall size is very good and the screen is crystal clear. The speakers are disappointing. I found installing ASWLauncher EX was a big bonus - speeds up the UI and gives you room for more apps in a dock along the bottom of your 5 screens.
I've put a 32Gb full size SD card in the slot, and am using MX Video Player app to play movies from it, and PowerAmp to play mp3s from it.
I'd highly recommend getting the dock, as it means less use of the power cable, which feels a bit flimsy and gives you the impression that it could easily be broken. It also turns the tab into a nice picture-frame!
For transferring files to and from the tablet, I'd recommend FTPServer on the tablet (https://market.android.com/details?id=lutey.FTPServer&hl=en), and Filezilla on a pc/laptop. This removes the need to constantly put a cable in the side of the device, as the transfers are done wirelessly.
I haven't scratched the screen in all the time I've had it, and don't think it would scratch without some serious force.
... Just some of my views! Hope that helps.

Can't say much more that hasn't already been said here,but this.
I love this machine, been downloading free ps-games from ps store, I've been downloading free movies from video unlimited. I have bought an SDXC 128GB card and formated it in FAT32 and put it into the machine. Works wonderful.
If the ps store force closes? clear cache and data and it would work again.
Got the usb-adapter cable today. it works fine with normal usb-memories. Have not tried it with my ps3-controller yet, since I'm not home.
Have not tried 720p/1080p movies on it yet, but I see no point in why. since the screen is "only" 1280*800. xvid/divx works beautiful and takes up little space.
Ok so the gfx isn't perfect on them ps-games, but what did you expect from games that old. Besides, I play games because they are enjoyable, not because they look good
just my two cents
don't forget emulation works perfectly too (not just the PSN store games, which BTW are emulated anyway). So you have almost the entire PSX/SNES/megadrive/neogeo/N64 library potentially available, together with wireless controllers working out of the box.
FWIW, for video decoding, I've found using apple tv presets works perfectly, and preserves 720p
Is worlds scariest police chases on emulator?
100% agreed, I love mine.

I got five free rentals from Sony when I bought the tablet, that I could download from inside "Video Unlimited" app.
I recommend that you get the 32gb version. You might be disappointed at the meagre amount of free storage on the 16gb. Plus, you cant use the SD slot to expand memory, it only transfers files

Agree, SD-card is cheaper. I got the 16Gb and got the cradle, extra AC and LCD-protection instead of 32GB version, then I bought the 128GB SDXC and formated it in FAT32 and put it into the tablet

I registered my tablet at sony.com, I got "vouchers" on email that I could use on https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/login.action then I loged on to "video unlimited" and found the free movies in there.
The movies comes in .MNV said to be played on PS3 and PSP only. But MX Video Player can play them.
Hello everyone.
After reading lots of reviews and opinions and having the oportunity to use the tablet, im sure i want to buy a Sony Tablet S
Now comes the second decission to make.. ¿Which model? As the title of the post says, im between 32Gb or 16Gb+3G.
I know that whatever the model is, the space for installing apps are the 4GB partition and i think the apps that allow moving to Sd card, in this tablet means moving to the second partition but never to the external sdcard. So... Do you think the 4GB are enough for all kind of apps and games?
About the 3G conexion, thats something i will use mainly during travels. Instead of creating the hotspot with my mobile (and draining its battery), i'll change the SIM card to the tablet. Another option is buying a prepaid SIM with some data-plan to just use with the tablet during those travels, and when i dont have available wifi's.
A requirement would be to have access to music in the external sdcard, but allowing to reproduce a full album. I have the movies part resolved with the MxPlayer, but dont know any beauty music app which allow to do that
Well, any opinion or advice are welcome, so dont hesitate to post it !
Thank you in advance
I'd go with PowerAMP, it works beautiful. Might use WinAMP as well.
But I prefer PowerAMP myself. It can access the external sd-card without problems.

Thanks for your answer ^^
I think that PowerAMP is not free, but anyway, if is possible to access and reproduce lists and full albums from the external sdcard, my requirment is accomplished so...
¿What would be your choose, 16GB+3G or 32GB?
(Forgot to say in the first post that price difference between both models are just 20€ )
I suppose that you'll bring it around to work or travel, thus with 3G is a better option. And you can buy SD card for more storage and even cheaper.
Hope you will have your own choice. Cheers and welcome to this community

I'd go for the 16GB+3G if the difference is that little, then get yourself a nice SDXC 128GB sd-card and space won't be much of a problem. At least not external. However internal might be eaten after a while if you install to many apps hehe.
Yes I know PowerAMP cost a few $$$ but it's worth it. WinAMP cost too. THough both exist as free-versions for you to try. So you can get the feel for it.
I'd go with the 16GB+3G too. I miss the 3G from my old Galaxy Tab since I got a Wi-Fi version and with full-size SD card and USB storage capabilities, storage isn't a huge problem unless you install stupendous amounts of apps.
Thanxs for all the answers.
The usage of the tablet is not going to be for work, but i'll bring it in my own travels where i wont have available a 3G network since the cost of using it in other countries are so expensive
I also found a nice music player (Meridian player), which allow to reproduce lists from the external sdcard, so with MxPlayer and Meridian i got covered the multimedia part.
Im also planning to use the tablet for playing games from psn, gameloft and emulators, so what bothers me is that the 16GB version only have around 8.5GB in the usb storage and im quite sure that all this kind of games cant be installed in the external sd.
How much space does this games take up in the usb storage? I know that having 3G is a great option, but im almost deciding on the 32 version just for this reason

Most of the gameloft games I've seen have been about 250MB worth of SD card data (maximum, although there's been reports of them taking up to 1GB), so you'd still be able to fit plenty of stuff on there. If you're that worried about it, sure, get the 32GB, but I think it's more about how you're going to use it.
I myself went with the 16GB as I already have an additional 16GB SD Card.
I have a MP3 player that I keep most of my music on, I mostly keep movies on my tablet.

Same here. I bought the 16GB version, since I already have 16GB and 8GB SD cards handy. Plus, once I bought my USB OTG cable I just keep movies on a 16GB USB and transfer them to the SD card one at a a time. Works a treat for me.

That's cause the only ones available on the Tablet S are worthless P.O.S. compared to the ones unavailable.
Games such as backstab HD, NOVA 2HD, Modern combat 2 and 3, 9mm etc have pretty much 600mb minimum.
w/ full sized SD cards available, 32gb isn't necessary at all as we've confirmed up to 128Gb SDXC cards working.
16Gb is more than enough for app / games storage (how many 1Gb games do you play?) in my opinon, but of course consider your own usage scenario
I plan on buying the 16GB model, but how much free space is there once the tablet arrives?

13.05 gb total space available. That is what mine shows. Not really bad at all, not like I thought it would be. I have couple play movie rentals downloaded, 112 apps installed as well as a few dozen songs on the nexus 10. Only 2.6gb used, still have 80 percent left (10+ gb) . Also ordered a micro OTG USB cable so I can use USB stick/sd card for extra storage (no need to root for photo, video or music streaming if you use nexus media importer)
Hope that helps,
Ed
Wow glad I got a 32gb.. I have 11gb left and for WHAT? No music yet, well other then the free google gives you. no movies..Apps and 2-3 games. Must me BIG games and APPS! hehe
Buy a 64 GB usbstick and everything is OK ;0))
I would not recommend getting 16gb. My note 10.1 is 16gb and I have a 64gb and its not enough space. I can't keep all my games saved on my tab at once. I keep all my media saved on my sd card and only save game files on my system.

Mine was a Christmas gift, so I can have nothing to complain about. If I had the choice, I would have got the 32gb as well.. But after filling my tab2-7 int space and a 32gb sd card, I don't think that would be enough space either. But besides the usb memory stick ad on (got my cable from Korea today, works great!!!) there is the option of cloud storage. One service giving you 50gb free now!
That's the one thing about the large nexus 10.....You will more than likely be using it around the house and a wifi signal. Plenty of room for movies and music now! We only need an app that will allow us to install and RUN apps from cloud services.
If you are going to allow multiple users on the n10,then you must get the larger one.... But that probably won't be enough if one of the users is a gamer (grin) just such a large price difference for 16gb....Although I did once pay that for 1mb on my first IBM XT 16mhz system... 1mb simm chip, not gb! (gotta love this tablet!)

Just a quick one, currently waiting for a eternally out of stock 32GB Nexus 10 in the UK, does anyone think the extra 16GB is worth the difference in price? I currently have an old laptop that stores all my media so there's no way i'd fit it all on the Nexus anyway. What do you guys think?
Cheers!

16GB was fine for me, IMO not worth the extra money for 16 more GB, you can always get a otg adapter if you run out of space

+1 i got an otg +2x 32 gb mini pendrive for 42€.
Do you find the OTG a bit awkward sticking out of the side of the tablet? I cant imagine what i'd fill the space with until i start using it.
I want to experiment with Ubuntu-touch and be able to at least emulate a dual-boot between the two OSes so I am holding out for a 32GB model. That is if they evey become available in Canada again.
I have the 32GB model, but I haven't come close to using even 16GB. With that said, it's comforting to know I have the space available should I want/need it. If you can afford the extra cost, and can wait out the availability of the device, I'd go with the 32GB.
I'm hoping to get at least 2 or 3 years of good use out of my N10, so I went with the 32GB. I'm already down to only 2-3 GB free on my 16GB Galaxy Nexus, so I could certainly see space being an issue down the road if I went with the 16GB tablet.
I have 32gb model and have just 9gb left, mostly games. I have all my movies and music on USB drives that I use with the otg cable.

it really just depends on how you use it. i have 100gb on dropbox plus a server and laptop so I went with a 16gb because an extra 100 bucks for 16gb of storage seems insane. i'll just save that extra 100 and put it on my next upgrade.
Ok, thanks all for your replies, as much as i am very keen to get hold of a Nexus 10 the wait for a 32GB one should be worth it.

Voted 32gb, because of the safety net of the space. Even the 16gb is probably more than enough, unless you store most your files on the device. I use plex so all movies/videos are on desktop and just stream. Besides apps, the only thing on mine is games for emulators. I bairly touched 5 gb if that of my 32gb
I thought the 16GB would be fine since I only use 7 or 8GB on my phone. But I use the tablet for gaming more more than the phone, and games have gotten quite large. Many are 1GB+ in size now, and the 16GB just doesnt cut it for me. I wish I had gone with the 32GB when I bought this. At least you can add space with an OTG cable, but it isnt as elegant as if the space was there in the first place.
16gb
I have 16 gb because I use Google services for things like music so I don't have to store it on my device, I only sync the playlist that I listen too off of google play music. Saves about 5gb of music files. 16gb+ not worth $100 imho.
I have a 32, and I'm frequently over 16 with media.

I just got my 32GB today and it already doesn't have much space once I put a couple movies, games, and music albums on it.
I would vote for 32GB. I am regretting getting the 16GB version. The OTG use is fine for movies, magazine etc. But you can't store games on SD cards or thumb drives. You can't compare 100$ for additional 16GB that's on board a device Vs something that hangs from the side of your N10. Never. Go for the 32GB anyday.
I have 7gb left on my 32gb one, but most of what I have on there is luxury I don't really need to keep.
I ordered a Patriot Node last week, that might be a solution to the eternal storage problems plaguing the Nexus devices the Wi-Fi on it is pretty weak, but it's good enough to listen to music or watch non-HD videos/read documents/stuff (worst case scenario, there's a usb cable).
On my gtab 8.9 with 16 gb I can't take nandroid backups due to lack of space so I would definitely recommend 32gb

I agree. I have 32gb and am very glad. I like to keep a stock nandroid and a nandroid of the prior version of whatever custom ROM I'm using so I can fall back if needed. That could already account for a few GB. I also back up apps with Titanium backup...another few hundred MB. If you use Drop box or other cloud services, you will have a local on-device copy as well. It's all too easy to use up the space, and very nice to have it available.

I've had both. First the 16gb which I purchased from the only place I could find it locally in SA. That fell and the screen was shattered. Managed to get the 32 gb from Amazon via MyUS.
My 32gb is definitely better than my 16gb. For some reason my 16gb could not detect my external 1TB Seagate drive via the OTG cable. My 32gb picks it up seamlessly. I don't know why; just happy that it does
I also use my tablet to grab stuff off newsgroups. The extra space is well worth the money.
