Q. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and would like to connect my Seagate external 2TB to it. I have a OTG usb adapter which works fine with some usbs I tried using, but when connecting my hard drive to it the tablet says it is blank or unsupported.
If it is possible, what do I have to do? I'd prefer the option of just buying another accessory if possible, since doing the FAT32 formatting and such seems like a hassle (I have about 800gb of stuff I want to use and would rather not be limited to 32gb)
Thanks.
A. As it is Android so you will have to use it with FAT32 or FAT File System as Android doesn't support NTFS USB or Memory Card.You can Backup your things in PC or Laptop(Whichever you have) and Format the Hard Drive through the Tablet and then copy the contents and use
Sorry to say that you will have to do with whichever filesystem the Tablet uses
For those who have owned the samsung galaxy s3 for a long time, has the phone slowed down on you?
Q. I might get the Samsung galaxy s3 very soon. I wanted to get the opinions from people who have owned the GS3 for a long time now. Has it slowed down in any way? How's the battery life?
Any other answers would be greatly appreciated.
A. Hi from Italy ! I have and use SIII and Note for my heavy blogger activity and I'm very satisfied.
Slowed sometimes? No, I have it from a pair of mount and quad-core exynos at 1.3 GHz never give me problems (are Exynos at 1 GHz in Tab II 7 and Tab II 10.1 that sucks and are slowly).
My version is Vodafone branded (european vector company) and with branded app I have not found problems.
Fantastic 8mp camera, beautiful line, i give you a suggestion about accessories: no book cover because is "stupid": has no sense for a smartphone like this. Better a case that protect and is open in the back like Noreve products.
Battery life: with H+ yes it use energy: all day with BT on and data on for work in car, calls, ecc. in the evening it is 20-23% but with a normal use it can arrive at 1/1.5 days.
From last week Samsung has ufficialized a battery with a capacity of 3.000 mAh that are more than box battery for 30-35$ and it can high more battery life if you need.
Colors and memory size depends of your necessity: 16-32 or 64 gb and blue, white, black, red, ..
What is the best tablet in your opinion?
Q. for me, i think it's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because i can play, watch movies, design pictures and even use it in education!
A. O.S:
Android. If you want Windows 8 stick away from them for a while this video will explain everything very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_wrAzhVKPw . or just avoid the surface RT tablets due to software compatability issues and wait for the tablets with x86 processors to become available. Don't go with Apple unless you understand other options and better value (my opinion).
Most powerful:
Asus transformer. Great design, powerful hardware and most up to date Android OS. Can do everything the Galaxy note can bet better and faster. 10-11 inches. hefty price tag though. can be used in conjunction with a keyboard for word prossecing and other educational uses.
Portable:
this would go to the Nexus 7. Excellent size and powerful hardware as well as feeling great during use. Dimesions are proportioate and a variety of cases are available. Asus made and google marketed and funded to make quality control at utmost importance. cheap and high quality ($250 AUD). beware that it is in its first genereation and educational uses may be impractacul.
Tips:
Avoid any unknown O.S.' (Operating Systems). The most well known and the best are Android, iOS and Symbian with the most progressing and future proof being Android. Unknown O.S' (e.g. some HP tablets include an unheard of O.S") have limited app support so hardly anything is developed for them due to limited market.
Shop around. Spending time researching your purchase is always a good idea. Get the best deal and don't forget about added costs of accesories, warranties and software. Check that the product your looking for has the desired accessories available and at least has as little proprietary ports as possible, but that is not a nesscity.
Avoid gimmics. Don't by a tablet because you can do a task that has limited capability. i for example chose the 3-d option on my laptop but find myself hardly using it. if you are comparing 2 or more tablets and one has more practical functionality than go for it.
Storage and compatability tips:
if you must decide on 2 similar tablets, i would choose the one with external storage capability. This means you could but a micro sd card into the machine and expand your storage.beware of the Andorid market as each different model or brand will likely feature different chargers or device connecters.
Other tips:
- Buy within your budget. Don't splurge to get the bleeding edge, get what you require. most tablets will fit your requirements of video, picture editing and educative uses.
- Avoid first generations. They can sometimes be buggy or low on features when compared to other tablets.
if you're looking for mobile internet connectivity, possibly get your tablet on a plan.
cheers and hope this helped and sorry for the miss spellings, i was in a rush :P
