Transferring files to Tablet via USB Cable Looses Original Time & Dates of Files

Since it's a Samsung tablet, you could also use Samsung's 'Kies 3' software, but all references to that seems to have vanished from the Samsung site, in favour of the Smart Switch software. The Smart Switch page [2] still mentions 'Kies', but the 'LEARN MORE' link [3] redirects back to the Smart Switch page! Sigh! I don't know if any of these preserve timestamps when copying, but it's worth a try. My advice is to start with MyPhoneExplorer.

I heard from a ham radio friend of mine that he was able to access a USB flash drive using his tablet with the proper cable. That should solve my problem. John Whether it does or not, come on back to post the result. We're curious. Hi Vanguard, UPDATE: I received the USB gender changer. I connected an 8G (FAT32) USB flash drive, with a few text files on it, to my Samsung Galaxy Tab A model SM-T280 tablet. Unfortunately, it was NOT detected by "File Manager+" or "X-plore". I tried "My Files" (came with tablet) and was unable to "see" the USB flash drive. I checked the USB gender changer on my laptop using a USB cable with male connectors on both ends. There is NOTHING wrong with the gender changer. I need to contact my ham radio friend on the air to find out what AP he was using. Note: I have one solution to preserving the file's time & dates when I transfer files to that "stuck" micro SD card, but it isn't the best solution. If I find out what AP he (ham friend) used, I will download it and report back here with another "update". Again Thanks to everyone, John |
