I don't understand why Gallery is not detecting and listing the media files stored on your external SD card. I have photos and videos stored on an external SD card and Gallery detects and lists them without problem. Check for a file named ".nomedia" in the folders where you have the photos stored. If ".nomedia" exists, delete it.

The only other app I use to view photos is the ES Image Browser that is included with ES File Explorer. ES Image Browser is accessed by selecting a photo from within ES File Explorer. ES Image Browers has a slideshow function.
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
If they're running unrooted Honeycomb the stock apps need files transferred from the SD card and can;t access them directly. I'm told ICS fixes this. Patiently awaiting it here in the UK:rolleyes:
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
I can access the pictures from File Manager without transfering them but no slide show:(
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Install QuickPic from the Play Store and start using it instead of Gallery. It can access the external SD perfectly, HC or ICS. And it's slideshow function works on either and is very configurable.

Worked for me, at least.
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
Got it and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
Well since half of the people who pledged money for rooting HC never paid up,I don't think developers are gonna be too encouraged to try rooting ICS. :rolleyes:
[Sony Tablet S] Dr.Dimes:
Well, i would pay for the Rooting and for the Support but for now i don't see any results or some light in the end of the Tunel for rooting ICS.

So if one of the devs can say we are on it and try many thinks and tell in a thread whats going on, so many users i think would pay some cash for the devs.
[Sony Tablet S] jellette:
I picked one of the Sony S' up at the Sony store and I really like it so I am going to see what the current state of development is and see where I can contribute.
[Sony Tablet S] earni:
I would contribute but I think I would prefer to see the bootloader unlocked first. I know there must be some devs working on it somewhere.
[Sony Tablet S] rickwyatt:
I been thow every partition on the sony s what iv worked out is sony hides both recovery and boot but what I dont get is why sony has to system partitions both in dev/block/

so in dev/block/mmcblk0p3 is honeycomb 3.2.1 release 2

but in dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is honeycomb 3.2 release 1

but it anit mounted
[Sony Tablet S] yt92:
highly support this!!! can't wait for this

also hope sony can unlock the bootloader
[Sony Tablet S] el0heem:
I totally would have payed for hcroot if I didn't have stupid build 10#.

I pledge 10 usd

[Sony Tablet S] docfreed:
I'll go for $20

This tab is awesome even as-is. It can be nicely tweaked using alternative launchers, disabling or removing some bloat (really not a lot of bloat installed) and some 3rd party apps - root can only make it better.
[Sony Tablet S] doc_haz:
Well. I did'nt sign the first time. Never too late i say.

I Pledge 5 USD. Sorry i cannot afford more. But the exchange currency is a lot for me :-/

[Sony Tablet S] Danzdroid:
I'll go $40
[Sony Tablet S] ross231:
I would like to see a cwm, or some sort of custom recovery first, so i can back up my stock rom, use condi's tool, and have a rooted ics rom on my tablet :)
[Sony Tablet S] vonManstein:
Shame there isn't a way to have the pledged amounts in escrow, so as to guarantee that the dev that cracks this gets the money. There's always kickstarter, but it's not really apt for this.

Nonetheless, I pledge 20€
[Sony Tablet S] tasar:
I think, that was a good idea. Your are right that someone of the "pledgers" wont pay :( that is the problem but my hope will not die ...
[Sony Tablet S] lgbaixauli:
Me too

20 from me.
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
Thanks guys, keep it up
[Sony Tablet S] magnafunk:
Wouldn't it be better if efforts were made towards an unlocked bootloader? Who cares about rooted stock if we can make custom roms
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
Well, it's a valid point, but many owners like the official release and just feel too restricted without a root that's 1st. 2nd, the device has been in the market for almost a year now with no success in unlocking the boatloader while rooting seemed possible.

Anyhow I guess if it's unlocked before getting the root, that works for me, my pledge will go to the 1 who unlocks it , cause @ least we can flash a prerooted version then

Wt do u think guys?
[Sony Tablet S] TheChaoticLlama:
Someone start a Kickstarter project, Kickstarter is a trusted site and will hold peoples money until the goal is reached. Just a suggestion eh?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Would be happy to transfer my pledge to unlocking bootloader if it comes first. As then we can have rooted ICS anyway :)

[Sony Tablet S] smokey_joe:
i looked a bit through the system on mit Tablet P (should be the same)...i wanted to look at some of the files needed for boot etc (i've seen that some of the root processes from other devices make use of chmod while booting etc) but i cannot access all files on my not rooted tablet P...so i'm searching for a zip with all files from the whole filesystem...i downloaded the decrypted ota packages but i think these are only incremental so not all files where in there...

so can anybody here give me access to all files from his rooted 4.0.3 tablet?
[Sony Tablet S] gordo79:
Any news on this, I emailed Dan Rosenberg but had no reply
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
Not sure if Dan would do it all again.Last time out,a lot of people who had pledged money to root HC never payed up.

[Sony Tablet S] mikeblahblah:
Pledge

I pledge $50.00 - I am so ticked off I didnt read forums BEFORE I updated to the stock ICS. Got all these root apps I cant use :( If I need to do anything else please let me know. I am kind of a newb on the forums.

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Tablet S] smokey_joe:
sorry i did not have that much time to go deeper but theres one problem..there are 3 images in this file...2 of them i can mount and look into...but thats a lot of stuff that i can look on my tablet too...the important files are in "hidden.img" which i can not mount on my local pc...so it would be more helpful to get a dump of all system files from somebody with a rooted device
[Sony Tablet S] mikajo:
Hmm, I do not really know what you need and why we use this thread but I have a rooted device (still HC) and I could try to provide you with the files you need...?!
[Sony Tablet S] smokey_joe:
I use this thread because i it was kind of active when i first asked...and i thought that people who are interested in rooting this might read it...

i just need all files/scripts from the filesystem of a rooted ICS Tablet S/P...so i can look through the scripts and search for a hole....
[Sony Tablet S] hogaburger:
If it is no trouble, could you please remove my $10 offering from the pot. I no longer have a Sony Tablet S.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
That looks like the previous versions are still in the system itself :rolleyes:

[Sony Tablet S] championswimmer:
i'm not here for pledging but to ask about dev status on this slate....

1. we do not yet have root on 4.0.3 ?

2. what was the HC root procedure ? (link to orig thread please)

3. do we have any custom ROMs for this ? is the community interested in any ?

4. does s1 have a recovery partition ? can we boot into android recovery ?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Hi thanks for the interest:

1. No really, only by pre-rooting ICS from HC.

2. djrbliss successfully rooted HC 3.2.1 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22309495#post22309495

3. No custom ROMs as bootloader is still locked, we would be interested : )

4. I think it does, how would I check? Also we can boot into recovery, but everything (ATM) needs to be signed buy SONY to be able to flash etc

Thanks for you contribution

[Sony Tablet S] championswimmer:
how do you boot into recovery ?

key combination ?

also can you do something

get any android terminal from the market

and run this

$ ls -l /dev/block/

also if possible could anyone link me to the ICS official ?

i mean the update.zip or whichever form you guys got it in
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:

Well, just ordered my girlfriend a Nexus 7, and I know that already has root. My pledge still stands for the Sony Tablet S. Although my patience is slowly dying out. Might just sell the Sony and get a Nexus or another model that can root.

Must have been patched since ICS release as havn't been able to do it on any ICS release.

[Sony Tablet S] VitaZora:
The more I have read about this it seems too iffy to try.

Probably malware.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
It is real, just tred it. Doesn't root it (for me i have R1a) but would work for other devices. Tries to install babylon toolbar tho, just tell it to piss off lol.

Worth a try for 4.0.3 original release users.

[Sony Tablet S] gordo79:
It has finally been rooted when is Yupandra2012 going to chuck his details for payment up. We should pay up as JB for the tab s is coming and we may need root for that.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Wasn't this ONLY developed for xperia tablet and just happend to work for original tablet? If so the xperia guys get this for free??

I.e did not have to wait a very long time nor pledge $$$ to the cause??

Happy to pay, just pissed it took this long and only happend because of new tablet. Lol
[Sony Tablet S] techfellow:
At the moment what are the benefits of rooting the Tablet S? Are there any roms yet, or is it just a matter of time now?

I going to attempt root a latter today.

Not sure but he found the restore loop hole that Sony will probably patch in JB

No roms and a locked bootloader, main advantage to root for me is add blocker and I can now write to sd card properly
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
No, just the opposite. If you read the first line in the readme.txt file contained in the original poster's SonyTabletICS-2.zip file, the rooting method was developed for the Sony Tablet S. The method just happened to work for the Xperia Tablet S too.

[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
So recently my PC's WiFi card decided to die, so instead of going out and getting a replacement I had a brilliant idea. Why not use USB-tethering and use that as my WiFi card?? Genius really.

Then I decided to pre-load D3 from Battle.net and the connection would cut off within a few minutes of tethering. I've tried everything I can to fix this but nothing seems to be working. Any help? WiFi best performance has been set, and this happens on both my HOX and Desire Z.

I've tried every widget and app that apparently fixes this but so far nothing has worked.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:

tethering

Have you tried Easy Tether?
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Shouldn't HTC's own USB Thether work? Besides, I'm having the same problem on my Desire Z too, which is running CM7. Only on heavy loads they just disconnect.
[HTC One X] androiddumpling:
USB Tethering

Had the same issue on my HTC One X. Currently testing on my Mac. I guess I will have to try HTC Sync first and then do it over. There seems to be no update from HTC.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Okay, here is my solution:

1. Connect your HTC One X (via USB cable) to your Mac/Windows machine

2. Select USB Tethering and click Done.

3. Test - Open your browser to see if you have a connection

4. Result - If you can surf the web = Pass, if you fail go to step 5

5. Go to System Preferences on your Mac

6. Click Network

7. If you cannot see the HTC connection on the left-hand panel click the Plus (+) symbol below

8. The wizard will prompt you to connect.

9. If you still have problems click Advanced, release the DHCP connection and a new DHCP connection will be made.

10. This automatically gives you a new DHCP IP from your carrier and the HTC light will shine green.

11. Open your browser and surf away....
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Some carries charge you for excessive use on tethering. If you are seen to be downloading at a high rate on tethering then the carrier will either block the connection or throttle it.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
We have no carrier charges for tethering, and also I'm not really trying to use my 3G connection on my phone. What I'm doing is I connect to my home wifi on my phone, and then I use USB tether. Basically I'm using my home WiFi through my phone, on my desktop.

Sometimes it just randomly cuts off, and it's happening sometimes every few minutes now. It goes on, then off and on and off and on. I have DU Meter running so I can see whether my net is dead or not.

[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
I've made a cursory look around already, but wonder what are the compelling reasons to move up to 2.2 if I'm at 2.1 currently? The additions in the 418 build alone don't seem worth the hassle, so was anything added to eclipse 2.2 as well?
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I believe 2.2 was just a rebase for the 418 OTA and updated apps. From what I've heard wifi issues are suppose to resolved as well. The only down fall is the battery bug is back but that's Motorola's fault. In addition the 418 OTA modifys the kernal a bit and is suppose to provided minor bug fixes.

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
WiFi behaves much better. I haven't had any issues with it.

Battery bug is back, though. However, if you want, you can still use Peppermint's battery bug fix found in the Development forum. It's based on a previous release of Android (2.3.4 I believe), but it still works if you want to apply it.

But, the main reason would be that from this point on, Nitro will base all of his Eclipse releases on this newest release which is an official update as opposed to the previous 2.3.5 not being official and it is different from the current 2.3.5 release.
[Motorola Droid X2] GeneratedUserName:
WiFi... Its the only reason I went back stock then to the 2.2 but Im MX2 not DX2
