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.

Haha, I just download that from market today, it have the feature I want but is not as smooth as the built in image viewer... hope it will improve soon...
Hi Everyone, I have the TF201 and the Dock.
So I recently purchased a 32GB Micro SD card and a 64GB SD card.
I put the cards in their places, so the SD Card is in the Dock.
I have formated these into NTFS, and the tab recognizes both cards.
Now, my question is, how can I save Videos and/or pictures taken by the Camera? Meaning, if I shoot a video or take a picture on the Tablet. How can I let the system save it directly onto the Micro SD or SD Card?
I think by default it saves into your internal Storage.
Thank you,
Nevermind I've cross read... hum saving on external SD pics and movies in camera option? If there is an option about this it would be in camera settings but I don't know how to explain precisely

I've searched all logical locations where you could make a change. So far I haven't found one.
You can't
Maybe a custom rom can.... but not stock
Is it possible to move apps to an External SD using the Samsung Adaptor? I'm using a Galaxy tab 10.1 16gbs, but i'm getting low space and want to install some more games....
Thanks...
I'd say probably not, you could just move your videos, pic and music to your external that would free up some space, if you do find a way post here I'd be interested to here if there was a way
There is no possible way I can see to fill 16GB with apps. Move anything else to SD but leave the apps on the tablets memory.

I really hope someone here can resolve a mystery that has been plaguing me for weeks.
A few weeks ago, I purchased a Galaxy S4 and I love the phone, except for ONE detail.
I have purchased multiple micro SD card and have tried to load it up with mp3 files and use is as a music player. I rooted it and installed Viper4Android and the sound is TREMENDOUS, however, my phone keeps deleting files off the external SD card.
I have tried this with a "generic" SD card (Class 10 64 GIG) as well as an authentic Samsung micro SD card. I have tried to do this with 2 different Galaxy S4 phones (one rooted with Hyperdrive and one stock). Doesn't seem to matter.
I thought it may have been the media scanner so I reflashed my phone with the newest version of Hyperdrive and chose not to install the media scanner and used N7Player because it contains it's own media scanner.
SAME THING! Files transfer fine to the card and show up, but are deleted later. The folders remain, but the songs are gone. It regularly loads around 30 GIG and deletes down to less than 6 GIG.
I have used a laptop and loaded the card through a card ready, through the phone, used Samsung Kies,..... Nothing works.
HELP!!
Is there some setting on the phone that controls this action?
Thanks. :crying:
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)
