(04-14-2015, 11:29 PM)johnm Hi Graeme.well after 4 hours I`ve had to admit defeat in trying to connect my tablet to Companion on my laptop.The only way I can transfer Pdf sheets from my laptop is to connect via USB and transfer the files to the tablet main files without using Companion and then transfer from the now internal files to Mobile Sheets.I`ve tried to connect Companion via Usb and Wifi trying all the tricks suggested i.e toggling the wifi on the tablet switching off /on the programme.,ensuring USB debugging is on etc.When I load up Companion on my laptop it immediately comes up with an error message saying nothing is connected to USB ports,despite the tablet being connected. I have to delete the message before I can get the first page up showing" not connected".The tablet just sits there with "waiting for connection to PC" IP address 192.168.0.10 Companion help function takes to me to an error 404" page does not exist".I`ve downloaded the manual seperately but thee dosen`t seem to be any refernce to USB? Can you offer any advice i`m getting really frustrated!Regards Johnm Wrote:(04-14-2015, 10:21 PM)johnm Hi Graeme.WEll i`ve managed to download it, somehow it appeared in my down loads? anyway I`ve activated it and I`ll try my hand at downloading some songs from my computer using companion.Presumably I can use slideme/sam to download the full version? after paying the fee?Regards Johnm Wrote:(04-14-2015, 08:09 PM)GraemeJHi Thanks again for your prompt reply,I`ll try what you`ve suggested and i`ll report back,if that`s OK .Regards Johnm Wrote: Android is certainly a new ball game - I had the same problems when I bought my first Android device. However, you'll soon get the hang of it. I think the first thing you have to understand is that Android is highly configurable by the tablet supplier and unlike Windows or Apple based systems, the basic package can vary greatly - not all Android devices are equal!
As I said in my last post, I believe your tablet does not come with Play Store pre-installed, which is why you are having a problem downloading MS. Since finding a Play Store that will work with your tablet could be a problem (you could try searching on the net for one, this link might point you in the right direction - http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/hs...sue.55462/ - but, as a new user, you probably won't want to get involved in flashing a new ROM).
Instead, I suggest that you go to SlideMe (using your tablet's browser) at http://slideme.org/ . Register (free) and then download and install their SAM applications manager. Once you've doe all that, you can download MS from their site (I know it's there because that's from where I first got it).
Thinking about it, I seem to remember, when I was looking for the specs for your tablet, that one of the photographs showed the SlideMe icon on its screen, so you may already have that installed.
