Patriot Connect

Nexus 6p 7.1.2 when accessing drive and trying to scroll contents app crashes and closes

Pretty bad, doesn't work with nougat

Just crashes all the time, within seconds and closes. I'm not sure any other app works with the hard drive so really annoyed at the waste of money for the hard drive. The app adds insult to injury with the rubbish battery life of the drive. The hard drive is now just an expensive, heavy ordinary hard drive that's needs to be plugged in via the power and usb to work when not charged.

Drops out continually. When selecting anything from a folder it shuts down. Very poor. Can't use it.

App patriot connect on android 7.0 always crash force close when opening app please fix this app support android 7.0

Does not work with new android upgrade now is useless to use with my gauntlet node

This app is constantly crashing cannot use it with the gauntlet node maybe needs an update to make more compatible with newer versions of android

Ok, After some teething problems with this item. Due to lack of instru tions on how to use it. After prepping the drive and setting folders up in windows, i proceeded to copy some files to it. I figured how to get them into chosen folder and streamed them back to phone. All with no issues so far. Will get 5 stars if it could join my network.

Doesn't do what it says it can do program never been updated

It's unstable on iPad. Android app is much more stable.

It would be reallygood to have the ability to put music into playlists and play them

It seems that when I try to copy numerous pictures from my local content on my phone it only copies few and not all. I have to restart the app and do the copy again on the missed items. Also, it would be nice to choose the local content as an extended SD/usb rather than let the app only let you copy from sdcard which is your devices main memory.

I truly love this item. However my big concern is that it does not support Windows Phone currently. With the idea to support multiple devices why is this even an issue. If a way to do so is 100% successful feel free to update me on this.

Concept is there but app needs to be updated. It has not had any improvements for a long time and could be much more useful than it currently is.

For copying a few pics its fine. Force closes and just simply doesn't cut it when trying to download lots of pics video etc. Needs a major update.

It would be great if i can lock specific folders within the app so i can readily share some content of my Gauntlet and yet have private stuff within Gauntlet.

On a note 3, videos stream very choppy. CANNOT connect to the device unless it is connected to the Internet as android detects that the network does not have Internet and will not connect. Quite upset overall with the product as I bought it to stream media.

The idea is superb: can not copy folders? - why? If files are copied to folder they end up outside the chosen folder - always in the root path, why? Problems with windows share group: unable to manipulate files using wifi. Usb view of hd is fine. Also unable to see /ExternalSD card. All is minor; but we got to get moving on corrections. Erik with lg esteem4g, a500 acer tab und ipad2.

UI is clunky, limited and looks very un-Android, cannot even create new folders on the WiFi drive. No option to join the WiFi drive as a client to existing networks or use WiFi Direct under ICS/JB. Great idea for the hardware but the software support lags far behind.

I really like the the hardware, the software needs a lot of work. One problem among many is that when playing music from the playlist to my Bluetooth headset, if I try to skip a song using the headset controls it starts up another music program and both play at the same time. I wish this program worked completely in the background and just showed the drives contents as part of the tablets contents to all other programs.

Worked first time without any issues. Now I have over 300Gb of storage available on my phone and tablet wherever I am.

As said from others here, this app really clunky, and a minor pain to use. Surprising since the hard ware seems fairly good. The one that sort of bothers me most is it won't move folders. The second is that I can't edit the list of media players. I can't believe this do to the hardware and seem to be some basic functions to not have.

Works fine, but does not work in landscape on a tablet

I love using it. But can you please fix it where it's not too choppy. My wifi signal is really good but the video streaming is very bad it keeps on kicking me off.

The application connect to the drive. 0. I copied files and work fine . I saw a mp4 movie. Carefull that you have an apps that can read the file format. The only thing I found is that I have an external sd card intalled in my galaxy tab 7 and the application did not see it. I will continue my research. I updated the firmware to the latested version. I recommend update the firmware , it is in the patriot memory website . The issue with the movie mov format was that the player that I have does not support the format. It was not with the patriot app was the android video player app does not has the codec. So ifyou have an issue reading a file check that you have installed an apps that can handle the format

Tried the others but opted to use this and the Gauntlet Drive. Works every time.

No flac support, slow and clunky hopefully Dev will take note?

If only this app also supported external storage. My ASUS tf300 has a microsd slot which is invisible to this app. Otherwise this works great.

There seems to be a Learning Curve with this device... Seems like it can Conflict with Wireless Networks due to Chanel Number, and can run laged video with certan Video Viewers... Trying Changing certan settings with Devices and using other Video Player Programs if running into Lag. Once all is Corected device runs fine :)

Used with GNode software pros-streams well when works, bonus extends wifi range as hops to net AP,Software cons-cant set sdcard path to mnt so cant access ext-sdcard or usb, Hardware cons-failed badly with ssd crucialv4-128gb,had to insert old drv with firmware1.3.2 although could see SSD now it dropped while streaming or downloading some work and testing needed still with ssd drives,works good with std 750gb, dont seem to be able to charge and use at same time, battery dies to fast espc with non-ssd old drv in it gets hot,bs player lan mode will play directly but may stutter, vlc also works plus 1.5x playback when streamed

I have a 5400 rpm 1TB drive in my Node. Works very well. The app needs work - animated gifs don't play, only alphanumeric folder names display contents correctly special characters in file names don't show up in file list, choose between media players for movies but not music. A couple of nice features would be to swipe between images and sort by options.

like most of my friends I am in the phase where on trips I carry a tablet(can’t live without it) and a notebook(in case I need to edit a presentation). I travel a lot and always carry an external hard drive or thumb drive with some Music, movies and documents on it so I can access them from my notebook. Not having a USB port on my Tablet really limited me from accessing my data on the tablet. I picked up a Gauntlet node last week and dumped all my music, Documents and a few movies on it. Now I can access the data from my notebook and using this app on my tablet. Quick recommendation for the folks at Patriot, it would be nice to add a music visualization feature when playing music.

Keep trying to connect via wifi on my phone and it will not connect, says something about the connection being too slow so it disconnects every time. Cannot recommend this product and app when the app is so poor that it doesn't even work.

I put a 750gb moments xt in mine. Now I can really catch up on tv when I travel.
