Hmm, so I wonder if that means that there is a problem with the microSD in an adapter or whether there is something up with the formatting of the microSD card that makes it go wonky in the transformer...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
I will try it again tonight when I get home.

Just as an fyi, I used my canon7d in raw/jpg mode with 3.0 and it read my files. I am using an older sonymulti card reader. Havent tried it on 3.1. Also on androidtablets.net there is a guy with a raw file reader! I am far from using abd stuff but it does work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I understand the concerns from you guys. And to to the fellow phtogs, I am not on a job or anything. And its not a huge crazy vacation.. its just a month long trip to a bike race, and I normally shoot RAW but I am getting back into shooting JPG due the fact that I don't tend to edit stuff like I think I will.. so the 1000 + JPGs I can take compaired to the 250 RAWs make jpg a better choice for me. The real wrench thrown in is the fact that I like to shoot HD video as well.. I only have 2 8gb cards, I typically never fill one of them up when I am shooting pics but video eats them up quick if I decide to make a Edit.

I also understand the whole idea of keeping everything backed up in multiple places, but these pics wont be the end of the world if they are lost and I have faith that the TF should be able to copy from one place to anouther. And if something does happen then it is ok. I really want to avoid buying more class 10 cards and not having to bring my big laptop would be really nice, especially becasue it would only be used the 2 or 3 times I want to move files. I would imagine that I will use the TF for about 75% of my usage and then my Droid X will fill in the next 15% and the only real reason to even have my i7 laptop is to run Premiere Pro and Photoshop to edit pics and Videos If I want. Lets be real, most of the usage come in the form of Email, facebook, blogs, and forums.. A i7 is a bit overkill for 90% of what I do..

The desire for me is to just be able to dump files from my SDHC cards to my portable HD. And lastly Speed is not an issue.. I have no issue leaving the TF to move files overnight or for a hour or two to move the 8Gb of files..

I am not planning on shooting that much as far as pics or videos go, I just want to be able to dump files once or twice on my trip.. I guess I just wanted to get some opinions and possible experiences.

FYI.. I am shooting on a Canon 60d which shoots onto SDHC so it would plug right into the KB dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
just pick up some 16gb cards. they're pretty cheap these days, and can come in handy. 8gb is so 2008 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cl191:
For anyone looking to read RAW files on your Android device, this app will decode the files. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anthonymandra.rawdroid&feature=search_result

It doesn't do real time viewing, but at least now we have a way to see the RAW files...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I shoot more video then I do photos so Class 10 is a must and 16Gb class 10 cards add up..

I only have so much cash and my thoughts are getting my TF> spending on money on SDHC cards when I get alone wonderfully with my 2 8Gb ones..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
How do you like your eye-fi card? That was one thing that I really want to get some day. I have a vision of shooting a Banger shot on the ski hill or on the mountain bike and then sending the file to my Droid X and then Facebook and my other photo sites.. I always thought that would be awesome. Can you select individual photos to send to your devices? I would like to know more about the intergration between the card and the TF and an android phone. Pretty easy to use and do you really find it that useful? This could be a potential graduation gift for me. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
:eek: How does that work when you're out in the field then :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cl191:
It has this new "direct" mode, which basically turns the card into a wifi AP. With that you can actually transfer photos(even raw files, although it won't decode them) and videos over wirelessly.

Actually one of the reasons why I finally jumped onto the tablet bandwagon is so that I can use the transformer as a big LCD screen to review my shots when I am out shooting landscape photos and use it as a wireless photo vault so I have another backup instantly without even pulling the card out of the camera.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
Hmm.. this is very interesting to me.. you want to elaborate on this more?

How does the whole system work? (Not litteraly, but useability wise ) I assume you have a Droid or similar android phone you can tether with?

I would just like to know how how you like it and if it works well enough to recomend to a fellow android phone and soon to be transformer owner.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] cl191:
The Eye-fi card will turn itself into a wifi AP after you take a picture (you can set the amount of time you want it to stay up) and on the Android device, you just start the Eye-Fi app and it will automatically connect to the card and grab the files whenever it sees an active Eye-fi card.

There are a few caveats: 1) the Eye-fi card has to be one of the x2 series cards 2) if you want the card to transfer pictures to other device, you have to manually go to set up and select the device, since this thing can only transfer to 1 device at a time (can be annoying if you use it with your phone and tablet like me) 3) right now, the files will only transfer to the built in memory of the Transformer (but on my EVO 4G, it will go to the SD card no problem, since it doesn't have a built in partition called "SD card" to confuse the app), so you will have to manually copy the files to the external cards. I've filed a feature request, so I guess will have to wait and see.

I shoot with a 5D MK2 with a CF>SD card adapter, I didn't really time it, but I say it takes about 10-15 sec for the 20mb RAW files to transfer. I've been out with it a few times and it seems to work somewhat reliable so far. Sometimes the pictures don't transfer right the way, but seems like they will end up on my tablet eventually.

It's great to have a bigger LCD screen for reviews, sometimes little things like lens flares are not very visible on the tiny screen on the back of a camera.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] el_brio:
To those who have posted that you can view RAW files on the TF, I think that this is a bit misleading. RAW files contain an embedded JPG preview and I believe that this is what you are seeing when you open the RAW file. So while you may be able to look at the JPG preview of the RAW file using an app, you are not seeing a properly processed RAW file. As far as I know, there are no apps that will properly read/edit a RAW image. RAW image processing is pretty CPU intensive anyway.... doing this on a tablet would be an exercise in frustration.

If you want to process RAW files on-the-go you need a high-end laptop w/Lightroom or something similar installed on it.

I think in future iterations of the iPad and perhaps Tegra 3 we will maybe see Adobe step up to the plate and make a tablet version of Lightroom but they are likely holding off until the hardware is more capable.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I am definatly not looking to edit RAW files.. The most I would like to do would be to open and view Jpeg files..as I mentioned, I have ahigh end laptop with lighrroom and the adobe CS5 master collection .. Just the ability to run all that software means I only have a hour of battery life.. Hence the purchase of a transformer as a"daily driver"

It will be interesting to see what the next generation of technology will be.. I can't wait till the day when I can carry around a computer that is the size of the transformer with a 12 inch screen or soo, detachable touchscreen with a quad core or dual core that is powerful enough to edit HD video with real time play back in the editing program. Then a keyboard dock just like the TF that doubles the battery life. I would love to be able to edit videos for more then a hour away from an outlet, while still not breaking the bank..But still have a computer that isn't such a brute for daily use.. (i got my laptop for about 800, I know that you can buy editing computers that will edit for a few hours but for more $ than I can spend as a recreational editor)

Ridata 16gb class 10 are $22 shipped. Use them in my D90 and S95 as well as my pany hd video camera. Heck, my 16gb. Sandisk ultras work just fine recording hd on my pany and they are class 4. But sandisk cards usually outperform their rated class.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] matrix311:
What is your cf adapter and which x2 card are you using? Can you post a link to your sd/cf adapter? I shoot with a 7D and I just bought a transformer and I want to be able to wireless tether using direct mode. So please post the info of the setup your using. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
Quick fyi.....Class 10 is not needed to shoot HD Video. I shoot HD on a real camcorder (not some flip mino) with Class 4 Sandisk Ultra II rated at 15mb/s which is plenty.

And, you can pick up a 32gb Ridata class 10 SDHC for $38 shipped at newegg. Two of those with a card reader (since there is only one SD slot on the TF) and you wouldn't need to travel with a hard drive.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I honestly worry about off brand cards. I know my transcend cards will always work..but we will see, I may go that route ..but since I also have my 15 or so movies ripped to my portable hard drive, I will probably be taking it anyways.

Magically generated from my Liberated Droid X.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbpaddler:
Ridata is hardly an off brand and there are many many positive reviews at newegg, amazon and elsewhere. I've been using them for years.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swan3609:
I guess that you are correct after I looked at the reviews on those, But to be honest, I think that I am 100% trusing in this thing..

I grabbed my sd card out of my camera yesterday and the TF was ale to move those to my micro sd card just fine..

I'd like to know this SD -> CF Adapter also!

I did not know the new Eye-Fi supports Androids now, that's freaking awesome.
[HD7 General] mlongue1:
HD7 on SimpleMobile, how unlimited is their unlimited?... I have switched from TMOUS, seriously considering Simple Mobile and their $60 Unlimited plan is looking pretty good, but I would like to know if anyone has had any problems with that setup, and also how well does the HD7 work on SimpleMobile? ... and does anyone have any suggestions on services/providers other than SimpleMobile?... anyway, thanks in advance for any help, GREATLY appreciated as always, and have a great day/week/weekend!:cool:... :):)

Also, late edit, how does wifi work on SimpleMobile, does wifi use service minutes and/or data, any restrictions on SimpleMobile?... like to be able to use wifi to make calls and surf, etc. ... and thanks again!...

The newest version of opera mobile is the best browser out at the moment, super smooth scrolling and no hw acceleration yet!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] cartman09:
The current 5.0.1 should fix that.

Nope, it "alleviated" some of the loading, but 4.6 is still much faster. They'll work it out eventually.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] BenitoJr88:
never used mirren. whats so much better about it?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Gwanatu:
Yeah, the only problem, and the reason I stopped using Opera, is that it doesn't parse Youtube links correctly, and it's amazing how many of those I realize that I run across now that it doesn't work right.

I'll give Dolphin 5 a shot, using Miren right now. I just wish these stupid browsers would have HW acceleration like Opera (seems) to have. Everything is just so slow and choppy. Not sure if it's my live wallpaper that's doing it or not, but it's annoying.

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Not that i'm aware of.. you'll have to use a PC and format it to fat32.
[Acer Iconia A500] Iyashu5040:
The external sd support on honeycomb is appalling. It's almost as if google weren't expecting manufacturers to include external sd slots on their devices. I get no notification when I insert my sd, no options to format or safely remove either. Even my Nokia (and I hate Symbian) can do these things. Also haven't seen any news about this support being added in 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Have you been able to format your SD Card yet? One thing I can tell you I dont like is that the system is reading the internal memory as SD Card. So all the apps you use like titanium and SD card Tools to test the speed error out. They really need to fix that. As far as your card goes if you havent.

With Windows insert card right click on it and click format and select fat32.

With mac Use Disk utility and format through there and also select fat32.

A lot of SD card manufactures are not intializing the cards which is why if it is brand new needs to be put in your PC. At the current moment there is no partition table which is why the tablet can not read it. :D

[Xoom General] ericbergan:
Has anyone gotten large (>1000 song) playlists to work on the Xoom?

I copied over the playlist files, and I can see that the playlist file on the Xoom contains all the songs, but Music only shows 1000 songs (the first 1000.)

Tried other players (btunes, PlayerPro, PowerAmp, ...) and they all FC on the playlists. (One of them mentions that it is using the Android playlists, so I'm guessing they are all going through the same API.)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeutralZeroZen:
so, i have a rooted HTC Hero on Sprint, and i was a bit curious: after downloading Titanium Backup, i started to wonder what would happen if i uninstalled HTC Sense. would it go back to the default Android UI and free up space on my phone. so, i backed up HTC Sense and proceeded to uninstall Sense. it didn't work. now, after trying to restore both the app and the app + data, and restarting the phone, i am stuck at the "Now" screen during start up and it won't go any farther.

is there a way to sideload HTC Sense back onto the phone through use of a computer? and if so, how?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Try this:

1. Download a rom on a pc. Cm7 will work for this demo.

2. Pull out your sd card from your phone and transfer the rom to it from your pc.

3. Put your sd card back in and boot into recovery. Generally, hold home key down and press power. Once the HTC screen pops up, release the power key only. Hold home until your recovery screen comes up.

4. Wipe data, dalvik, and cache.

5. Flash the rom.

6. Reboot once it is finished.

7. If that works, you will need to flash gapps, but we will worry about that later.

After multiple messages and questions regarding SWAP I thought it would be best to put all the information into one place with simple instructions.

What is SWAP? Details on it HERE>> http://www.imoseyon.com/2011/04/why-swap.html

Now lets do THIS!!!

Here is everything you need for the SWAP files and a Step by Step...

Enable SWAP and EXT4.

FIRST

Download the SWAP Enabler And the Kernel Speedtweak from the attachments in this post.

View attachment 613492

View attachment 613493

The first one enables SWAP and the second one creates the proper files/folders and settings for m.swappiness and minfree.

Step 1:

Boot into Clockwork DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING VIA Rom Manager.

Choose ZIP and flash the Swap Enabler (First File)

Then Choose ZIP and flash the SpeedTweak (Second File)

Step 2:

Reboot.... Wait a minute and let the Kernel settle.

Step 3:

Reboot back into Clockwork and reflash the SpeedTweak File ONLY. (not sure why, but if you don't step 3 won't happen. LOL)

Reboot again....

Step 4:

After it is up and running.... Open Terminal and type (without quotes)

"su" ENTER

"sh /data/imoseyon/swap.sh create" Hit ENTER and it should create.

Reboot for the last time and enjoy.

To see your creation at work.... Open Terminal and type (without quotes)

"su" ENTER

"free" ENTER

You should see you Mem and SWAP.

ALTERNATE Finish For SOME. DISREGARD IF ALL WENT WELL FROM THE STEPS ABOVE

For some reason... It has been reported that you may get a Can Not open /data/imoseyon/swap.sh create. If so:

Alternate STEP 4:

Open terminal and type (without quotes)

"su" ENTER

"sh /data/imoseyon/createswap.sh"

After it finishes: Close OUT of Terminal, Then reopen and type (without quotes)

"su" ENTER

"sh /data/imoseyon/swap.sh create" Hit ENTER and it should create and tell you to reboot for it to take effect.

ENJOY GUYS!!!!!

[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Very cool. Will definitely be doing this once I get home.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gimpeh:
Is the swap being put on sd card or emmc?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
Not on the SD.

Edit....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gimpeh:
Has anyone managed to utilize emmc for swap? Would probably be a bit more speedy. Although thos phone has enough ram as is.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
It would be quicker, but I don't know how much it would be noticed in "real world". I'm sure in "tests" it would flex in nuts a lot more but.... This does smooth things out quite a bit. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gimpeh:
Well i'm on cm7 so speed is not a terrible issue. Although you can never have enough ram. Bring on emmc swap!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] KGBxxx:
What values should we see in Mem and Swap?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
At first you will see 0 for swap until you use it and it builds. They will vary on your use. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Carnage9270:
Might want to re-read the link to imoseyon...kinda skeerz me that you think it's on the SD card.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
I mis-spoke regarding eemc. The swap uses the flash.

My apologies to anyone that was misled.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] BuffoGT:
so I have been really impressed with the speed of my thubderbolt. I am rooted, running the latest imoysen kernel and the perfect storm 1.4 rom. I had seen these instructions before but never thought about implementing them. I did today and I didn't think it was possible but my speed is now at least double that it was before. Un believable thank you so much, to all reading this you should really give this a go!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Is this something that carries over when you switch roms/kernals? Or do you have to do it again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gimpeh:
What rom are you running?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
It needs to be re-done with any kernel change.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
Double.post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iastonish:
Better wait on it then, waiting for Drod's new CM7 kernal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DroidTh3ory:
It does really help utilize the speed. It is just smooths everything out so well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] BuffoGT:
The prefect storm 1.4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] techspecs:
danger Will Robinson?

Is there a chance that, given the uncertainty around the bricks and suspicion of the emmc, that this could stress the emmc and exacerbate the bricking issue?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Noremacam:
I'm skeptical the performance benefit could be that great since the thunderbolt already has more ram than the vast majority of phones.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nilius17:
He says Perfect Storm 1.4.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sublimaze:
Try it. You will be surprised how much snappier the phone is. If you don't like it, all you have to do is reflash kernel & you're back where you started
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bigd5783:
I didn't mess with swap on my G1 until 2.1 was released for it. With as much ram as this thing has I see no reason to enable swap unless you are one of those people that run so much useless crap at once that the phone boggs. And if that's the case I would hate to see how long it takes for your PC to boot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rlivin:
It is a very noticeable difference. Would the easiest way to revert be reflash your kernal?
