File transfer internaly.

[gordon_s1942]

I downloaded a video onto the internal 16GB memory instead of the TF card and I would like to transfer it onto the TF card.
I cant see anything in the book relating to the transferring of files which I am sure must be an option so any assistance will be greatfuly received.

This is the Android tablet sold by Aldi just recently and while there might be different wording for such options on different makes, I am hoping the same principle applies.

Can you see the contents (Eg: the file) in the internal drive?

If yes, can't you just copy and paste it to another drive, or your card?

download "file manager hd"
should be in the app store
makes things a little easier for viewing copying deleting ect on sd cards and usb ect

[gordon_s1942]

lets call it MovieXYZ saved on the internal memory.
I can click on it and play it or I can open a 'box' to edit it like save,rename, copy and paste.
If I click on send, it asks me how, like use skype,facebook,bluuetooth or gmail.
If I open the edit after selecting the movieXYZ, I get the option to copy which says 'File Copy, select path and paste..........and then that blinks off.
What annoys me is there is no detail as to what these icons do or how to use them.

mickc, try anything once.

When you press and hold you see the Edit, copy, etc options. Select Copy. Then using your file explorer go to the folder on your SD card you want the file to be copied to. Then press and hold anywhere in empty space and select Paste. It should copy the file over.

Sorry, but I cheated !!!!
After an hour of headbanging and getting nowhere, I removed the TF card from the Tablet, putit in the reader, connected to the computer, found and copied the file that way to the TF card.
Thanks to all.

Did the Aldi unit also give you a tf card adapter? I've had to buy an adapter for mine.

[johnwinger]

bet it was an XXX movie Gordon

[gordon_s1942]

Viewer, No adaptor as it takes a TF (Micro SD card) but it wouldnt have mattered as I have 3 cases already, one I bought because I misread the damn sale.
If the one you have (Tablet) takes a standard sized SD card, I would not buy a TF card and adaptor as I have found the TF card isnt always accepted by the devise to record on.
The Video cam doesnt like the TF card at all.
When I knew this Tablet was coming up for sale, I bought a 16GB TF card only in anticpation but I would have used it for something anyway in a mobile phone etc.
And NOOOO johnwinger, it wasnt an X,XX,XXX or a XXXX movie unfortunately but a Micheal Bolton 2005 Music Video that we have on DVD and I put it on the Tablet for my wife.
He's alright but he doesnt blow my candles out.

I must say after taking some 2 hrs & 30 mins to join a video (2 parts) I took of a stage show and then converting it from AVI to MP4 which took another 12 HOURS using Any Video Convertor (dont anyone dare tell me the Tablet would have played it as an AVI file or I will KEEEEEL you !!!)
I have come slowly to the conclusion that doing this is fairly time consuming to say the least.
Its been fun working it out and with a lot of help from the forum, I have learnt a lot.
It would be bloody less time consuming to buy a cheapo portable DVD player and use it in the car to keep the 'Light of my Life' entertained when we travel or if she wants some 'Quiet Time'.
I had nothing better to do and this has earned me some 'Brownie' points so it was worth it.

I bought a 16gb tif card with mine to boost it up to 32 gb. I didn't realize I needed an adapter to get that small card to read in my pc, as it only reads sd cards, hence the need too buy an adapter for myself.

My tablet plays AVI,RM/RMVB,FLV,MPEG-1,MPEG-2,MKV(H.264 HP), out the box

[gordon_s1942]

Sorry viewer, I misunderstood what you meant there.
I have a Card reader as my old desktop doesnt 'do' cards.
I already had a reader but needed a new one capable of reading SDHC cards when I bought the first one some time ago.
But as I said, some devises that use the standard size SD card dont like the use of the adaptor which is a bit annoying.
I dont think using an external card 'ADD's to the internal memory as I have to select which one I want to read/use.
This unit has 1GB as RAM, 16GB 'internal' memory and now the TF card.
I take it the 1GB of ram is for processing/running programs with the other 2 memory locations your 'storage'.

[viewer]

Yep gordon...mine the same specs, and yes the 1gb ram is what it works on.

Fun times for both of us hey!

Is there a chance that you can connect these tablets to the pc with a usb cable. If so you may able to see the micro sd card under my computer and no need for an adapter or card reader.

[viewer]

joezep...yes have done that to get data onto the hard drive, but not tried sending it to the card directlty...will try to give it a go and see what happens...report back asap

[gordon_s1942]

I have done that with Videos, one went to the TF card, the other went to the internal (SD) card, in each case the videos were about 1.2GB and took around 25 minutes.
It was through 'Send'ing one to the internal memory that started this THREAD as I wanted them both on the external card.
It was my fault as I didnt choose the correct destination.
Note I use the term 'internal memory (SD)' card as thats how its described in the instructions.

One advantage of using a card reader is you dont have to turn the Tablet on or tie up both while transfering files.
You could be outside sitting in the warm sun using the Tablet or even down at your local free 'Hot Spot' reading the Austech Forums, the options are endless.
