No computer in the field.. only the Samsung tablet.

Tried ES File Explorer it worked a while then stopped and left some bloatware and such. Had to remove/uninstall. I have at times 5 to 25 AVI type video files created by game cameras.....they are .TLS files need to bulk rename them all to .AVI then they run fine on my big Samsung 12.2 tablet...

Already have this tab3 7" I got last year to check my game cameras in the field. I now realize there are dash cam apps available... I'm now running a very cheap standalone 12v Chinese dashcam now that is kinda flaky and difficult to operate. The new dashcam apps can run in background, and...

Interesting... I specifically went to customer service/return desk before I bought yesterday, and questioned them very carefully about returns. I used to be an "elite plus" member and that gave me 45 days on returns, (did this last year) as opposed to 15 days. But yesterday I was told I'm now a...

I bought a microUSB adapter at BB for $20, and hooked up my combo external card reader to that, and played the AVI straight from the full size SD card. At that point I didn't even know how to copy to/from the tablet, haha. I know now!

Thanks for trying that F2... After 2 more trips to BB, I decided to save some $$ and try a 16gb Note 4 10.1" instead at $299. (EDIT..SORRY ITS A TAB4, NOT A NOTE4) They had an open box S 16gb for $450, man I almost bought it, but it was white, didn't want that. While at BB, I couldn't get...

Looked at the 10.5 S at BB just now. Very impressed with screen pop. My android knowledge is limited, always had Apple, have iphone6 and ipad2 now. I run a bunch of wildlife game cameras using video mode that saves in AVI mode. Which exact version or codec I'm not sure. Assuming the S will...

Brought home a new 10.1 2014 Note yesterday. Spent the evening loading apps. This is my first Android experience after many years with Apple phones and ipads. I just have one gmail email address to deal with. Right now I have both "Email" and Google Gmail going, they are both active, getting...

I tried it yesterday, man it is nice. I'd love to have one, a LOT of my tab use is sitting evenings in the lazyboy, wife watching tv, I'm piddling on tablet. Never get on pc anymore.Sold Ipad2 to upgrade. Bought the new 10.1, couldn't quite justify $650 ++ for the 12..

Just got the 2014 Note, I sure like it so far. My vote is no screen protectors. After going through all the iphones over the years, and a few tablets, always kept them in cases. Phones open on front, tablets in a flip open case, I never bothered with another screen saver after trying a few. I...

Thanks much gang, appreciate the help! So how's the flipping through pics that are on the SD cards while plugged into the card reader? Can you swipe through them pretty quick? With game cams, it's common to have 25-50 pics of mostly the same thing, and need to get past those quickly to the...

Hello to all, first post in the Nex7 fourm... After years with Ipads and Iphones, thinking of getting my first Android tablet. I keep carefully looking them over at BestBuy and just can't decide, but the Nex7 2013 32gb AT&T is where I'm at now. One of my main needs is having an easy way to...

Thank you Richard for your reply. I think I will look hard at the 8.0 instead now. I saw some SD card readers on amazon that specifically mentioned working with the OTG Samsung. Going to stores today to look at them closely.

Richard, if you don't mind, would like to add a similar q, following this discussion closely w similar needs. Looking at latest Tab3 7" model, to carry in field to use to view my game camera pics. Also could have 200-400 files easily per camera. Using the mini USB port, will it accept an...
