Bought my Galaxy Tab 16gb and using it for a week

Really like it except that I cant connect USB Driver to it.

I have seen some site stating that USB Camera Kit will be available for Samsung Galaxy Tab, can anyone (Would be better if someone from Samsung Malaysia) confirm this? When is the Keyboard and TV Out cable going to arrive in Malaysia? Would just love to have it

You mean you want the TAB to act as a USB Drive ??

1. On the tablet, go to the Home screen and press the Menu button below the display.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select Wireless & network.

4. Choose USB setting.

5. Select Mass storage.

Now when you attach the Galaxy Tab to your computer, it will show up as a USB drive.

OR is it

You want to access to the SD card , then you don't need a special driver. For USB Mass storage to work, turn off USB Debugging.  Just hook it up to the computer, pull down the notification bar, choose the USB connection, and change it to USB Mass storage. The SD card should mount. At that point you can manually move files/ folders on the SD card.

Be sure to properly unmount the SD card before unplugging from the computer. Also you need to change the USB connection back to Charge Only or one of the PC settings before the tablet will recognize it.

For this to work, you should have already installed Android USB drivers : Download the Android SDK at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html . Select your rom version and the USB drivers. It will auto download and install on your computer

Let me make it clear, I want to Plug pendrive or USB Media such as Hardrive directly to Galaxy Tab via the USB Camera Connection Kit. If you google around you can see that Samsung has introduced their own Camera Connection Kit which is similar to the ipad. And this is the reason I'm asking is it true and where can we get it in Malaysia. This includes the keyboard and TV Out cable as well

Samsung has yet to announced when such a USB adapter be available ? Lots of web rumours will be this December. Temporary your best option is to use the microSD to transfer files
And I don't think you can plug in an external harddrive as it requires too much power. On the Ipad this also cannot be done with the standard USB external hard drive, max is only those USB thumb drives.
It has been reported that most Bluetooth keyboards can connect to it - did you try ?

The reason I want the adapter is to connect my work pendrive, it would be really useful for me to connect and attach files for email purpose
I have a Nokia SU-8W Bluetooth keyboard, it can be paired but not connected. Any idea?

Gingerbread for the Tab expected in Q1/2011 . Most obvious improvement will be the support for bigger screen up to 10". Read the full report of the features which will benefit the tab here:

Gingerbread looks promising and guess it will be the upgrade that all the SGT owners looking for. By the way, what apps do you all install on SGT and is there any custom ROM available for it? Can we install Windows 7 and dual boot it with Froyo on SGT?

Hi guys,

I have a Maxis Broadband sim card taken from the USB modem and inserted into the Tab just for data only but i found out that I am able to send and receive sms from this sim card.  rclxms.gif

However, voice calls and video calls are not posssible (disabled) cause the sim is locked just for data use only.

Was wondering would I be charged for those smses which I sent out?? Just received my broadband bill but I don't see the 3 smses I sent last month (was just testing the sms feature) being stated. Can we use this sms feature to our advantage?  icon_idea.gif
Cheers icon_rolleyes.gif

I have unrooted using Z4Root, same happens. Now I'm trying on another PC at my office using windows 7, its giving error 'kies fail to update firmware unknown error occurred'.

Would appreciate some reply.

PS: Any chance to download offline firmware and install it on SGT?

Use widgets such as battery monitor, post it up and etc. As for the icons, use Desktop Visualizer

Buy online from M3Shoppe Msian site :
http://www.m3shoppe.com/index.php?page=sho...emart&Itemid=26

I paid RM99 for it when launch last year at PC Fair but now price is RM146

OR you try to google and find your free version - I am sure if you try hard enough can find it though I do not encourage such practice

Hi benny,

Just to ask your opinion, if I were to purchase the Papago X5 Software, will it work after upgrading to androind 2.3?

Secondly, I have installed X3 version on my Nexus One previoulsy, but the graphic is not so cool and there is no 3D Landmarks, does yours looks the same? Mind sharing some screenshots?

Aapart from M3Shoppe, any other online store selling it at a lower price?
