i got the KB today and it works great! i was thrilled with how good it works and get this.. when you touch the touchpad a mouse cursor pops up and moves around the screen! you can click links, copy/paste and im sure more but i havent tested it fully yet. wonderful purchase i would buy it again. 9 out of 10 thumbs up.

edit: the usb dongle it comes with fits inside the KB, how neat is that? ive tested the touchpad even more and you can use it for anything you can use your finger for! open home, open apps, open menus and select items, use it in certian games, i just used it to surf the web and it saved me alot of time clicking on links and opening/closing tabs.. i change my vote to 10 out of 10 thumbs up cuz i was told android doesnt have a mouse feature and this blows me away! oh and its not unresponsive like that one guy said.

edit edit: if you unplug the nooks usb cable from the charging dock and plug in the mini keyboards usb charger it will charge the keyboard! its the same wattage! 5 volts - 300 ma. :-) no need to plug it into a pc to charge it.
[Nook Color Accessories] garrisj:
Thanks for your review this looks interesting.
[Nook Color Accessories] Syco54645:
About to order this. Looks really sweet. I was wondering if you can map the keys on the keyboard to android home, menu, and back. if so then it would be completely sweet! Also how is it on reconnecting? Pretty quick? I am reading that you need to install an apk to have it work in android. I assume this is not the case when using cm7. Also what range are you getting?
[Nook Color Accessories] luciferii:
that would be sweet to be able to remap. no you donot need an apk on cm7 and it reconnects pretty quick.
[Nook Color Accessories] Syco54645:
I guess you cannot use home menu and back on the keyboard anywhere? That takes the usability down a bit, especially with it having a mouse. What about range? How is it? Given the crap shoot of range with the nc this is an important bit of info.
[Nook Color Accessories] discothan:
Can you post some pics for size/thickness comparison???
[Nook Color Accessories] killahrey:
Ive been looking for something like this for ages! thank you sir. I just purchased one will have it in 2 days.
[Nook Color Accessories] Syco54645:
please let us know the range...
[Nook Color Accessories] SCWells72:
Great find! Just asked my wife to throw it into her next Amazon order. I've been wanting a good portable BT keyboard to carry with me when I don't want to lug a full laptop but want to take notes on my tablet. The price is certainly right, too...
[Nook Color Accessories] luciferii:
the range is 4 feet (maybe a little more) before it gets buggy and starts skippin letters. as for the size, it is 2/5ths of an inch thick and slightly over 6 inchs long.. if you compaire it to a king sized hersheybar it is almost exactly the same size.
[Nook Color Accessories] luciferii:
i went thru the packaging and found a mini cd and it includes an apk that makes use much better.. well i should say, it makes the letters show up alot smoother.

edit: i found the manufacterers webpage and a much newer version of the driver, its updated for tablets.. http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid&tab=download
[Nook Color Accessories] Syco54645:
Does this allow you to map home and end???
[Nook Color Accessories] luciferii:
theres a button for layout, but it wouldnt allow me to click it, so it can be done im sure, maybe someone better with programming or hackin apks skills than myself can look into it
[Nook Color Accessories] neoblood3d:
WoW thats just what I need.
[Nook Color Accessories] Imbroglio:
Anyone try the 2nd generation version of the keyboard or the one with the trackball?
[Nook Color Accessories] SCWells72:
So I actually decided to hold off on ordering this until I see more feedback. Is this keyboard actually large enough to support touch typing, or is it more like typing on a physical keyboard on a smartphone? I had a Treo 650 and, while it was better than the soft keyboards on the iPhone and Nook Color, still wasn't very good for taking notes during meetings or conferences, composing lengthy emails, etc. If I'm going to spend $30-50 (or more) on a keyboard for my tablet, I want it to be something that basically allows me to touch type at (close to) normal speed. Otherwise I know I'd never really use it...

Thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Love the device. Great build, feels nice - just like everyone else says.

Why would anyone release a device that can't connect to a computer to transfer files? Am I missing something? I've tried connecting on Mac and Windows and searched high and low for drivers, tips, tricks, etc. Don't tell me Dropbox or some other back door solution. The whole reason I bought Android (I already have 2 ipads) is to eliminate itunes. Why would I want to have to use a software solution to transfer files - I would just stay with itunes if that were the case. I have an EVO 4G that mounts as a hard drive and when I load files the app recognizes (photo, music, video) and plays it. WTF!!!!!!

Can someone help? NO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SOME STUPID WORKAROUND spending 30 hours at the risk of bricking and voiding warranty ending up with some laggy piece of crap custom ROM just to do ONE SIMPLE TASK - DRAG AND DROP! No offense, I respect what you hard cores do. I don't have time. I need $500 devices to work as expected.

Oh yeah, stupid POS wouldn't play an AVI file either. No idea why. Don't really care. It took 2 hours to transfer a file via Dropbox. Not doing that again.

Suggestions welcome. My Samsung Tab 10.1 is currently for sale on ebay. Maybe I'll take it down if some kind soul out there can help me figure this out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] fliparsenal:
Had the same issue. You just need the correct drivers for your PC. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t3ch7:
Try installing this on your mac - Android File Transfer

For some reason, Honeycomb devices don't mount as regular mass storage device, but rather under the Microsoft MTP protocol (verified when my friend with a mac told me I needed to install the Anrdoid File Transfer when I connected his Xoom to my Win7 laptop. I told him he's crazy, but he didn't know since he never connected his Xoom to a PC running Windows).

Hopefully it's fixed for the retail 10.1 tabs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dharris007:
If you disable "USB debugging," your PC should recognize it as external storage.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vexorg:
I seem to have having the same problem (10.1).

I installed the samsung mobile drivers, and disable usb debugging.

Now when i plug in my tablet it says connected to samsung kies. On windows i get the pop-up for a usb storage connection, but I cant actually view the files and this doesn't show up in my computer.

Do i have to install samsung kies? I only installed the mobile drivers 'Samsung_USB_Driver_P4_Including_Escape'

Any help?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
I installed both. My windows 7 identifies it with a mobile phone icon, but under it the sdcard is identified as a tablet(default name). When i connect it to my pc my GT displays "connected / press home key to quit Samsung kie" so I guess kids is requisite.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Thanks for the help. Installed Android File Transfer but still no luck with debugging on or off. It just says "No Android Device Found"

Maybe I have a bad unit or something?

Are there any Mac users out there that have been able to connect? I also have a Vista PC that I will start toying around with.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Use file manager app and do it wirelessly via wifi :)

It is easy and you dont need a pc ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fyahstarter:
I've been having the same problem. It seems that the Android File Transfer program hasn't been updated since the change to 3.1. I'm pretty confident that it'll be fixed shortly. However this is an Android issue not a Samsung issue- . The Xooms and Transformers are having the same problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
I'm leaning towards that it's a Samsung issue as my friend has both a Xoom and Transformer on 3.1 and Android File Transfer is working fine for them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pix:
I've the 10.1v and I just plugged the usb cable and I saw the device as an external storage. Probably the problem is limited to the I/O devices.

For Divx try downloading "MoboPlayer". I thnink that the default avi player can play only h.264 files
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xSunny:
Uhh from when i got my tab i had this problem as well all i did was go into control panel uninstall the drivers installed from the first time of plugging it in .. Then i went onto the tab disabled debugging and connected again let it install its drivers and i was set to go just make sure u have samsung kies installed onto your computer so it can find drivers and once the drivers were installed i went into my computer and it was there named something like pt-901 something lol hopefully this helps..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Thanks for this. Works great. Getting better...

I still don't know how any OEMs are going to gain traction against Apple among the masses who don't have the patience to figure this stuff out. Luckily I have some time on my hands this weekend!

Dropbox is taking about 30 minutes to transfer a 700MB file from my laptop to my box and then DL to the Tab's memory. Not a great solution. Need to figure out this USB file transfer thing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
What codec was used for your AVI file? Xvid? If so, then that's whack of Samsung to list Xvid and AVI as native support under their specifications.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Do you need to install the Samsung Kies onto every computer you want to transfer files via USB with?

Other Android devices I haven't had to install any third party software for this.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Same here. Every other Android device I've had is drag and drop on both Mac and PC which is the main draw for me. EVO, Archos, etc, etc...

I also thought that Samsung claimed native playback for Xvid AVI files...??? Apparently not.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Finally works!!! While I was messing around with drivers for PC I discovered that Samsung posted and updated (June 9th) version of Kies which allows easy files transfer on Mac. Problem solved.

Now I just need to figure out how to charge over USB so I don't have to lug this brick of an AC adapter around and I'm converted!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
My transformer had no problem after the 3.1 update. Just kept on working. Hopefully my Sammy will work as well.

Can you throw a link in here?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510UWYXAR

The above is where I was able to DL both PC drivers and Kies for Mac that WORKS! One thing to note - make sure that you are on the Samsung US site. Originally I was on Samsung.com/ca domain and none of the files would work. When I switched to the US site at Samsung.com (scroll to the bottom to change location) the files worked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
So it does work! I've been posting on other threads asking if anyone has tried Kies for Mac out but every one just ignored it or didn't respond.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Sorry I didn't reply. I did try it on launch day (6/8) but it didn't work. The version I just DLd today is great!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
No apologies needed.. just glad it works!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Fyahstarter:
With this being sorted out, I'm happy as can be with my Tab. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys,

Im still experiencing the non connectivity.

Ive reinstalled kies/drivers and everything, dsiabled usb bugging but nothing seems to be working. Below is a SS of the errors im receiving.

Nothings shows up in My Computer as an external drive. Additionally Kies doesnt seem to recognize the tablet either. When i plug my tablet in with debugging disabled on the tablet it shows that its trying to connect to kies but nothing works. Any advice anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ssbmg:
Are you on XP? I tried connecting on XP as well with no success.

My Galaxy Tab 10.1 works just like my HTC EVO 4G. I just plug it into Windows 7 x64 and it appears as a mass storage device. I put files onto the storage and it automatically detects files once disconnected. I don't think I installed any software to make it work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vexorg:
Hmm im completely out of ideAS, maybe ill call tech support lol... How embarassing

MTP Device? did you try to sync it using windows media player?

Also did it come with kies air or is it available from samsungapps?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] doug2311:
Hmmm...Not Seeing Mac Kies...only Windows

Could someone please post the new (June 9th) version of Mac Kies? When I go to the download link all I see are the PC drivers but no Mac.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vexorg:
I haven't tried syncing it with WMP.

And no it didnt come with kies/ nothing is available from samsung apps that is useful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vexorg:
Ok i think im getting a little closer

I did these steps:

1) Uninstalled Kies

2) Uninstalled Samsung Mobile Device Drivers

Connected tablet and it registered as a digital camera in my computer. And then i was able to click into it and now i have access to the directory. But i cant paste any files hmm
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EzcII:
Problem Solved !!!

Okay, I just got mine today in the mail.

I spent 2 hours and finally figured it out. I am also on XP.

Here is what I did.

1) go to samsung website and download the driver and install it first:

samsung.com/us/support/downloads/GT-P7510UWYXAR

2) I googled for Samsung Kies and download it here.

samsung.com/ca/support/mobilesoftwaremanual/

mobilesoftwaremanual.do?page=

MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL

3) After you installed both file. Open up kies and plug your Tab to your computer. Let Kies try to sync your tab. Once it is detected. I uninstalled Kies. It makes my computer really slow. Windows will still find your device even after kies is uninstalled.

That's it!

Although Windows wont show it as a Mass storage, if you click the samsung mobile icon in my computer, you can go in and add and remove file like a mass storage device.

Hope this helps.

Well, I have got kies for mac working, and was able to download what I want, but I have to say, it's the most pitiful, poor piece of software I've used in a very long time. It's certainly the worst feature of this tablet! (Everything else is fine).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:

un check the usb debugging and you can transfer files to the tablet

Un check usb debugging and you can tranfer files to the tablet. :)

People get desperate and quickly want to give up the device because soemthing is not working. Guys just be patient.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:
not having the ability to work with a major OS is not something to just be patient about. Thats just poor planning or being spiteful on sammy's part. But noone still has answered the question.... HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THE SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 TO WORK WITH A MAC????? ive been googleing this crap all day and all i find is that people are "aware" that there is a problem but not a single solution.

I plug my tab into my mac and it says its "connected through kies" on the tablet. I dont have any other options but to be on that screen or to close it using the home button. Then on my mac the only thing that happens is aperture opens up to try to view the photos on my storage. No drive mounting.. Nothing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vexorg:
Still cant get mine working on XP.. i wonder if its a hardware issue. Im going to give Samsung a call today later when i get home.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pandamaja:
I haven't been able to connect to a mac, but win 7 works perfectly fine for me
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pandamaja:
Its just not working yet. What I've been using is ES File Explorer. You can map to LAN devices. I've been hooking mine up to my NAS device as I have it configured to use a static IP address. You could try to do the same with your Mac, you just need the ip address and a user name/password.

Not the best workaround, but a workaround nonetheless.

I actually found a link to the mac version of kies. Not worth the time though because you get a 'device not supported' message from the kies software itself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] asim99:
I also had the same problem. First time I switched it on and signed in with my gmail it synced apps ( which I downloaed using andriod phone) along woth contacts,emails etc. But when I tried to connect it with Windows 7-64 bit based PC. My PC didn't show any icon for usb drive/tab. I searched the internet, tried drivers from samsung, tried 3 different PCs. Tab was getting charged if I connect it to PC and deviced manager was not showing any unrecognised device but still I was not able to transfer the files. So I thought may be some app is causing the problem, So I reset my tab to factory settings. And this time I did not signed in with gmail and connected to PC and it was recognised and I was able to transfer files with usual drag and drop opertion. later I signed in with gmail and didnot synced apps rather I chose to install them one by one.

If some one else facing this problem then give it a try and reset your tab to factory settings

Just a thought...

Since our tbolts get way better battery life while on a wifi. Is there anyway to make an app to trick it into thinking it is sending and recieving wifi signal. And then disbale it when you really want to eb on wifi.

I'm sure there is alot more to it but its just a thought

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistedumbrella:
Just to explain a little, the reason for battery life is that on WiFi you have a data stream. Like a hose, when you bounce it around a lot the stream breaks, but reconnects. That is 3g/4g. It is more or less like you checking the hose to male sure you have a solid stream. If you didn't move, you would check less. There is also the matter of different hoses and different stream settings, but well stick to basics. The only way to trick it would reduce likelyhood of a solid stream. This would do more harm than good.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMcGuire:
You might want to look at: Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Enable Always-On Mobile Data (uncheck this). Unchecking this turns off 3g/4g after 5 (or 15?) minutes of non-use. This is a HUGE battery saver if your phone has a lot of standby time (like mine does). You can also set WiFi to turn off after awhile if not in use.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immolate:
Metaphor time. If you put super glue on your gas gauge to make it look like it is always full, will that in any way change the amount of gas you have in your tank? The answer is no. The gas gauge doesn't use the fuel, the engine does. Unless you change what the engine is doing, you won't change the amount of gas you use.

In this case, the mobile network 3G/4G is the engine. We use more battery on 3G/4G because that energy is required for it to function. We can put a more efficient engine in it or fine tune the engine that it has, but the only way to prevent the engine from using gas is to turn it off. Simply telling the phone that the engine is turned off will not change the amount of gas it uses.
