sorry for the dumb question but need to confirm i dun trust those salespeople wat oso can can.
If i dun wanna use the 3g function and dun insert a sim card will the device still work with wifi and the necessary aps?
Reason is i may just want to use my phone when i'm home and then use the calling capabilities of the tab when i'm travelling and not bring my phone along.
So use use the tab with wifi when home and keep my sim card in my phone.

I was going out and getting myself the tab today then saw this.
13. HONEYCOMB limitation you cannot write/copy stuffs onto external SD card from tab itself
Root it and overcome this limitation by editing some system files

huh? so if i plonk in my 32Gb SD i can't save any files into it? Then how do you do that?
Thanks.

why do u need to root to get your kindle books? just download kindle apps into your tab, then sync your account. i'm having kindle app in my tablet, all my books from my kindle can be view and read on my tab 7.7 as well

how? how? kindle not available to Malaysia. I had to root my android phone, use market enabler, mimic US carrier then only can dowload from the market. I guess the other alternative is to find the apk and install.

anyway is there a way to go back to stock after rooting?

aaah no work today. so free to test out my tab.
I looks like the files that the app use cannot be stored on the SC card. Is that right? like kindle books, tasker profiles they can only be accessed if they're stored in main memory right?
Any rule of thumb what i can keep on the SC card and still access on the tab?

Another thing some pictures are failing to load in the gallery. The total picture count for fold will include all pics but when opened the thumbnails just hve a few pictures and the rest are black boxes. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix please?

Thanky.

can anyone help please? Why is it some images are not loading in gallery and quick pic? I tried quick pic as experiment to see if the same problem exists. Some pics load others are just black squares but are counted as part of the number of pictures in the album.

I hv no problem with the pictures on my HTC phone.

Thank you!

if your photos inside your micro sd, try to remove the card then reinsert back. wait for a while for system to read all the data (depends how big yr card capacity). last time i faced same prob as you are then i tried that method.. its work!!!  rclxms.gif

Dang my books and zinio magazines have eaten up a chunk of my internal memory. Can i move my Kindle and Zinio folders to the SD card? Looks like the kindle can't find the books in the SD card right?

Thanks.

uncle ben,

i wanted to ask,tab 7.7 with galaxy note...what would u recommend?

mostly for web browsing,watch movies,.....currently using HOX,wanted get as 2nd phone...

I had the same debate and decided on the 7.7 mainly cos it will be my entertainment center for browsing, streaming and watching videos. End of day, the larger screen won out. Note screen still not big enough for me to make surfing comfortable. a bit of a struggle and it wasn't that much more real estate compared to my phone.
