Please
Sony tablets are the best of all tablets now - we need development!
Sony Tablet S update to 3.2 !!!!
I have been using my Sony Tablet S for a couple of days and it's awesome. I got on it this morning and a 3.2 system upgrade notification popped up! I'm now running on 3.2!!! I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area.
Root?
Has anyone found a way to root it?
Awesome, you must be joking!
Awesome - you are surely joking.
1) DLNA 'throw' is incompatible with most devices (including PS3, LOL)
2) The memory card only works as a 'transfer' device - you can not accessit directly from inside an app (epic fail for me and my 32Gb of music on an SD card, that will not fit in my 16Gb Tablet S, and shouldn't need to)
3) adb for android development is not supported and so I can't even test my apps on the thing
Most epic fail android tablet ever.
No I wasn't joking I was giving my opinion of the tablet from what I have used or experienced with it. Just like you gave your OPINION! I have tried the dlna with my VAIO and it does work (LOL)but not on my PS3 so can not comment on that. I have a 32gb SD card in mine and can access all my files with a file manager app, so I have been able to listen to my music and watch my movies that are on my card without a problem. The remote app is very awesome and controls my TV, surround sound and DVR's in my living roomand bedroom. It might not be the tablet for you and maybe some others but to say epic fail.. for you maybe but not everyone.

Hey there I got the Sony Tablet S in Japan over the weekend, and it's a sweet little device. I've been burned by faulty iphones in the past, so I thought I'd try something different. I went for the 32gb option, but after installing and transferring podcasts and the whole works, it's not going to be enough! What app file manager are you using? ...Really glad I didn't go for the 16gb option.
I've had no problems with the remote control app, and really like the Android Utorrent remote access app. My only beef with it would be the slow rotating response time which gives a bit of a "cheap" feel to the interface, but overall it's a cool device!

You want to be using "File manager HD" to search for files on the SD Card. I also use "mx video player Pro" which you set to search the sd card folders by default for movies etc!

I think the posts above cover this. You can not play video off the SD Card using the default Video player included with the tablet, but there are third party apps that you can downlod from the App Market that will play video from the SD card.
anyone have problem with the SD card keep getting remove? i have a kingston 16gb class 10 SDHC inserted, but after a few hours it say SD card removed... but the card is still clicked in the slot...
also which player is best for encoding rmvb videos? i tried a few, some are either lag, or is very blur...
one more question, which image viewer is best for pictures on SD card cause the "file transfer" app can only view picture one by one... cant swipe to next picture. i tried using astro file manager, i can swipe to next picture but it makes the pictures blurry.
Thanks heaps for your help, I'm off on a trip soon and wanna pack as many videos into an SD card as I can, and MX Player seems to do the trick (I got the free version for now but it's great enough). Cheers again for the tips!
Just on the video, I use Any Video Converter, and followed someone's advice to convert to a Motorola Zoom tablet. These settings work fine, but does anyone have any full details of the video specs so I can get the maximum resolution? Sorry about the questions, but the Japanese language manual I got was pretty damn short of information about the product itself...It's basically just a guide to the main features!
Does anyone know if you can hook a external hard drive up to this and play media directly from the external? I know you can with the SD Card, but wasnt sure if the USB port will allow it or not. I ask cause i have a 500gb External full of movies, tv shows and music, that i would rather carry as opposed to try and figure out what i might want to watch or listen to later, and then transfer them to a SD card.

I'm not sure about the SD issues that you are having because I haven't experienced any issues with mine. I'm using a 32gb SanDisk. The app I use for picture viewing is called Quick Pic and in the settings you can add the folder sdcard2 and it will access your pictures without transferring them.

Hi All,
my nook tablet is sometimes becoming unresponsive while playing mp3 files from the sd card.It only works when i restart the tablet.i have tried various music playing apps like android music,power amp,winamp,e.t.c.but i think there might be a problem either with the rooting or the sd card reader.
any suggestions?
thank you
I'm rooted with indirect from Christmas, kept the B&N stuff and have no trouble with any of the music apps you mentioned. I currently use music folder almost all the time.

Hello,
I'm now using an other phone and I want to use my X10 as music player for in my car.
I only want a music player on my phone and nothing else. Is this possible?

Yes.
You'll still need the core operating system and it's dependencies.
You can probably delete approx 30-50 applications from within /system/app and free up a running environment of over 180MB of RAM
Even on a stock GB 2.3.3, I'd still root the device and use a modified Kernel like DoomKernel v6, just so you have the best the phone has to offer.
Off interest, the above configuration does allow for .mkv 720p (H264,AC3) movies to be played too.
The camera could make a good travel video recorder too. This way your friends don't laugh at you when you say you saw a man driving a sofa with a coffee table down the M25.
It has been reported that a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i will support a SanDisk 64GB MicroSD card reformatted to FAT32.
But like anything there have also been tears :crying: reported too.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in mine and been running it that way for over a year.
If you store Google maps offline, you can use your phone as a Navigation system as well and it "shouldn't"[citation needed] need a SIM card in it or any WiFi/3G access.
I've run my X10i without a SIM card for months and it works fine using WiFi only.
The Sony Ericsson X10i natively support .wma files which is a bonus. Newer Sony phones don't, however the newer phones do support .flac natively.
I use Neutron Music player with .ogg and .flac files which are mostly streamed from my NAS.

What music player are you going to use?????
DonutHD ROM comes with a pretty good stripped down environment and generally quite stable.
If I remember correctly it has all the social media removed already with only about 96 system apps of which maybe only another 10 could be removed if your wanted to take it to the extreme. Such as gmail.apk, email.apk, gtalk.apk etc, etc.
So I've run into not enough space because 4.4 cant/wont right to SD card. (Stupidest thing I've heard).
And my music alone is taking up most of my space, I'd just stream but it really isnt an option for my daily drive.
What are my options at this point?
Hook up your phone via usb (if you haven't done so) and copy all your files there to your external. Your music player will recognize them. I do it all the time, I have a 64GB in mine and im loaded in music. Im on 4.4.2 (wished i was rooted but were stuck)
I've installed Tune In Pro (which I've had for years) on my new S9+. It has an SD Card installed, which shows in Storage and is being used by the standard camera app. Recent versions of TIP (at least for a couple of years) supposedly permit you to save recorded audio to external SD cards rather than internal storage, but I can't find any settings to do that as installed on the S9, and recordings are obviously going to internal storage. Any ideas? Thanks very much!
It sounds like the app needs an update. All my apps that previously utilized external sdcards can still do so with the S9+.
I actually got a response from the Tune In people. They say they don't support SD cards any more.
