Thank you for the responses.

Hi, Is there a way to set different text message notification sounds for different contacts? I'm not referring to ringtones. Using the same notification sound for all text messages makes each incoming text a priority to check. Coming from a Note II I was able to assign distinct notification...

Received my tablet back from the service center today. Seems the motherboard needing to be replaced prior to being one year old is common. Not good.

Received a call from the service center today. Was told main board had to be replaced. Will be in stock Monday. Very disappointed at the quality of internal parts. Tablet was always babied.

Mine was stock.

That is quick. Mine was delivered Thursday. On Friday I received an email informing me the part is backordered. *sigh* Damn, I miss my tablet!

Just got off the phone with tech support. Couldn't even get it to do a factory reset. Stuck on system restore screen. Sending it in for repair. Very disappointing. Paid $500 for this thing. Didn't last a year. A few more weeks and I would have been out of luck on the warranty.

Same problem here tonight. Unreal. Purchased last August. Won't buy another Sony again. First it was the constant soft resets in order to power on. Now this.

Wow. My last visit was November 25th. I check in today, and nothing's been done. Sad. :(

Put me down for $20 also.

I stream video through Netflix and Amazon with no problems.

Wow, that certainly is an issue. I stream music with the screen off and all is smooth. No interruptions at all. I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Frustrating and baffling I'm sure.

I'm not experiencing the WiFi issue. Normally set to "Never when plugged in", but I changed it to "Never" to test it. I rebooted. When I turn the screen off and turn it back on the connection is still there. I left the screen off for 15 minutes then checked it, then left it off for 30 minutes...

OK, I think you're referring to this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PQCGF6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8&tag=5336653508-20 Going by one of the pictures, the opening for IR seems to be very big (instead of a pin hole). That's why I went with this one. We'll see.

There are 3 of them. Are you referring to the Executive Portfolio?

Don't mean to be insulting. Try rebooting if you haven't done so. Or maybe uninstall and reinstall. *scratches head* Are you using the stock browser?

I canceled due to the misrepresentation in the photos. Ordered this one instead. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PQCGF6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8

The device already comes with flash installed. You can try downloading an updated version directly from the Android Market on your tablet. You should have Adobe Flash Player 11.

Voice recognition works for me with no problems. I haven't used it until I saw this thread. Decided to check functionality. I've used it for Maps and Browser so far, following the help tutorial.

If you have a "tweaked' version of Netflix on your Sony you need to remove that first. Otherwise the official app will not install.

I had to reboot in order to get the prompt to download. Opening Music/Video Unlimited didn't do anything.

Wish they offered trial/demo versions of games.

Yep, same here.

I noticed one of the photos is a misrepresentation. The one that's positioned so you can type. We know the screen doesn't rotate when you have the thick part of the tablet at the bottom.

Thanks! Finally something available for the Sony. I ordered the Ultra Slim Leather Folio for $28: http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Ultra-Leather-Android-Tablet/dp/B005PQCHJG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1318815026&sr=1-1

Can you share photos?

You just called the regular customer service number and said what?

Nope according to the Terms and Conditions (in the upper right hand corner of the app) you only get 24 hours after pressing play. Maybe it's a United States thing. You are correct in that 30 days is given to actually play the content. You don't even need to read the terms. Just select "Rent" and...

The Video Unlimited service is a sad joke. You only get 24 hours to watch a rented movie after you press play. They're charging $3.99 for this ridiculous limitation. Why not give us 7 days? That's reasonable, particularly for folks who travel and want content to watch that's not streamed. 24...

Why not use the Videos Unlimited app that's on the tablet. It's up and running now.

Working now. The shortcut on the desktop was causing the problem. Accessed it from the app draw and it worked. Should be $2.99 to rent a movie and $.99 for tv shows.

Keeps asking me if I want to perform an update. Select "Update" and it downloads something (I install it), but still keeps asking me. ---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ---------- The app's not showing for me in the Market. Can't even uninstall and do...

The stock charger plugs into the cradle.

That cover is only available through Sony UK. Adorama.com has it listed as backordered.

I finally rebooted for the first time since receiving the device 7 days ago. I realized that would probably take care of some of the issues.

Yeah, my thoughts also. The quirks I encounter seem Honeycomb related. Haven't encountered anything of concern.

Happened to me more than twice.

I ordered a Case Logic 10" tablet sleeve for $15.99. :( Disappointed there's not much to choose from for this tablet. Really wanted a cover. http://www.buy.com/prod/10-tablet-sleeve-black/220217698.html

Yeah, I agree. I'm glad mine arrived the same day as the tablet. It really is a must have.

Same here.

Thanks for the details and pics. Greatly appreciated. Now that I'm more informed, I think I'll pass and cancel my order for one. I really like using the device naked and don't want to sacrifice the ease of doing so. *sigh* The unique form factor really limits the availability of generic covers...

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Now I can stop scratching my head in bewilderment. Now I recall reading about Android file transfer program. I think I downloaded it months ago. Yep, just checked my Downloads folder. It's been sitting here, never installed.

I guess I'm not clear. When I had a rooted NOOKcolor (replaced stock ROM with a Gingerbread one), on the device itself would be a prompt to enable USB storage when it was plugged into a computer. This would appear in the notification bar at the bottom. Once I clicked yes/ok on the device, only...

My device isn't recognized by my computer. Is the tablet supposed to prompt me to enable USB storage when it's plugged into a computer?

Wow!!! I ordered Saturday and it was delivered today (Tuesday) via FedEx Ground. Noticed the shipping address is a Texas one, which is where I'm located. Perfect timing, as my tablet is on the UPS truck for delivery today. :D Guess I'll go ahead and order the official screen protector ($19.99)...

Hmmm...it's interesting that you guys get the really nice case that can be folded and used for typing or watching video. We in the U.S. get the boring slip case.

I found a video that briefly shows this cover. Look for it at 1:56. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StY_mvhzecI

Thanks for the referral. I haven't heard of them. Ordered the dock/cradle for $29.99 free shipping (standard), no tax. Supposed to take up to 10 days for delivery, but it's nice to save a few bucks. My tablet is supposed to be here on the 28th. I was getting ready to take a hike to the nearest...

I canceled the order.

Wow, what a disappointment. I had a feeling it was the same case used for the iPad. You can find it for around $25 on Amazon. I saw the different "model" number and was hoping it was indeed for the Sony Tablet. Bummer!!! Amazon is showing the Sony case for $70 now. Looks like the retailer is...
