Android Galaxy Tab

Post by Rockfish »

Hi I got myself an Android Galaxy tablet on the weekend. I downloaded the Dive Log app.
Now I am having trouble with the syc to my PC.

I can see the Galaxy tab in my explorer, there is a folder called Divinglog.
I have done the backup to memmory card on the tablet
when I click on sync on PC it says, "no android device found"
I went to "click to select DiveLog folder"
but when I want to select the correct folder th "OK" button is grayed out.

hope you can assist

Hi

I think I might have figured it out:

the path is not on an SD card, the Galaxy tab needs a separate SD card reader that fits with an adaptor to the Tab.
Will give feedback once I have the adaptor.

Hi Wilhelm

The folder you've selected is the right one, but the connection mode is currently a problem. It has to be a standard USB mass storage mode (with a drive letter attached to the device). I'm looking at the moment for a solution for the next update, but right now you can select any folder on your hard drive and then copy the exported file manually using the Windows Explorer.

Kind regards,

An option I used is dropbox. (Dropbox is a program that synchs files between computers (or smartphones/ tablets))
I export from dl 5.0 to a divelog directory. This one is shared between my main pc and my tablet and phone.

I wait a few seconds then the file is available on both my phone and tablet,then use the standard filemanger to copy the file to the divelog directory.
that way I dont even have to use a cable....
