Using epic to view pictures from external usb - Epic 4G General

I was wondering if it was possible to use the epic to view pictures from an external usb drive. I know id need to make an adapter to make it work, but after that could I use astro to view the files? I'm running froyo if that makes a difference

How do i transfer video files from my pc to my rooted evo 4g

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
connect Evo to PC using supplied cable. mount SD Card as Hard Disk (this option available from pull down notification window). drag and drop. Files will need to be in formats the Evo can read though. On the Hero, I had to convert to .mp4 file
doubletwist app for evo and pc, will do all the work for you. formats and transfers, free and easy.
I appreciate the responses folks however since ive rooted my evo the normal sync capabilities dont seem to be available.

When you plug in your phone to your PC using the usb cable you get a option on your phone to Turn on USB storage. it then magically pops up your sdcards folder move your video files over to your sd card. when done on your phone hit turn off usb storage and its easy as that. use rockplayer for your avi files and system default player for mp4 files. if you need a conversion guide for BD movies use my quick handbrake guide.

Wow when I saw this thread I just knew someone was gonna flame the OP, nice to see people being very helpful...

This is the best tutorial I have seen with free software for converting files for the EVO. I used it for BlueRay Avatar.
Then just drag the file to your SD card. If your having problems syncing, try taking out the SD card and use it in a media reader.

It would help to specify your method of rooting and what ROM you are running.

Transfering pictures to computer

Please how do i transfer pictures to my computer using USB 2. Also i need to know how to move pictures from phone memory to SD Card. I cannot even locate my picures
Connect the DHD to the pc and when prompted, select the option Disk Drive.
You can now use the phone SD as a normal USB Storage. The pictures usually are located in the DCIM directory.
Anyway follow the User Manual for more infos
I find using dropbox or similar program even faster than using the usb cable. Mostly because I don't always have the cable to hand when i want to transfer files.

Iconia and Canon/Nikon DSLR?

While still waiting for my unit. Anybody use there Iconia together with a Digital SLR on the field photoshoot?
So far only for viewing. The CF files (shoot both Cr2 and JPG) are readable through a USB memory card adapter.
Don't think you can tether for remote shooting like a PC, no Android app from Canon.
Sure wish I could color correct the screen!

I wonder if the DSLR can be connected directly via USB. But a card reader sounds a better option. Thanks.
I connected my Olympus epl1 to my Iconia with no problems. I used it to view photos and as storage when I ran out of space on the memory card. It recognized my camera with no problem.
My Nikon D70 connects happily to my Iconia A500.
I can successfully view & copy photos directly from my E-PL1, via USB starage connection.
Thanks for the reply. This is the type of device I have been waiting for to partner with my DSLR.
Can you view canon raw file on the a500? If so, what do you use?

I tried hooking a Nikon DS3000 up to my A500 this morning with a direct cable. Using File manager HD I was not able to get to the device as external USB storage. Then I used a memory card reader and got to the pics no problem.
I saw someone program a 'photobooth' style app for the I ipad, would be cool to have that with android. I'd be 2/3rds the way to having photobooth equipment to rent out to weddings, I'd just need a printer.

For canon dslr I use cr2 thumbnailer its awesome works perfectly to view and transfer, I would recomend not directly pluggin your dslr in to the tab, there's plenty of issues that could screw your camera up just use the card reader its like 5$ for one. Some devs could make bank off of developing things for dslrs i have plenty of ideas just can't create them.

Hhmm? Is it because the Honeycomb creates new folder when ever an external storage is plug in? (I noticed this when I plug in my flash drive while testing the unit in the store).

Your talking about when you shoot and it saves both jpeg and raw, I havwnt used it this week but if I can remeber you can transfer any saved file, the jpeg and raw should be next to each other since theyd have the same file name just
Just download it. Very small app, they just came out with it so expect updates.

Android File Transfer GS3

Was wondering about everyone's thoughts about this new feature. Personally I think it's crap. I can't view/read ANY files from the sd cards unless I FIRST transfer them to my mac...GAY! Why can't we just mount the SD cards like the GS2???
Can you please explain because I'm having this issue managing files from the sd

Basically, the mac tells me I have to transfer a file to the mac to view it....which sucks. With phones like the Galaxy S2, I was able to plug in and mount the sd cards and it would act like any other USB mass storage external memory drive.
I'm not quite understanding what you mean by "mac". This issue is KILLING me. I can't even find my sd card unless I use the built I file manager

It's due to the way that Ice Cream Sandwich handles the Memory. It's always live in the system. The only way to access the Memory is through MTP. There is an advantage of using such because it means that if your phone is formatted ext4 (speed increases if I am not mistaken) you can take advantage of that and still access the data. Both Windows and Linux support MTP, unfortunately Apple has not implemented such even though devices are starting to use MTP more these days.
For Further reading go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol
From reading the site, there is a 3rd party implementation, not sure how up to date it is, but you might be able to make it work.
http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/ check that out to see if you can enable MTP on your mac which would reduce the need for Android File Transfer.
Also it has been a while since I have used Mac but you might be able to use these instructions to install a Ubuntu supported MTP software on your mac through X11 (allows you to run linux software on your mac) http://www.humans-enabled.com/2011/12/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-nexus-mtp.html

Thanks very much. I'm looking into it now
Ok.. I am using the Android File Transfer program and I can copy individual files to/from my GS3 BUT I cannot create folders for some reason. Even with the +Folder button. The error message reads: "Could not create folder. Try reconnecting or restarting your device." (Obviously I have done both multiple times.
Any thoughts?
on my PC it shows up as a portable media device and allows me to access both internal and SD memory
i did install the galaxy s3 drivers found on the rooting guides though

I can't get Android File Transfer to work with my Galaxy S3 running CM9 (or CM10, for that matter), either using MTP or using the camera setting. This is really annoying. Anyone know of a way to get it to work? I really wish that USB mounting still worked, so I wouldn't be required to use client software.
It works fine on my mac at work and I have a 5 year old macbook pro. It's not all that bad. I just use it to transfer files when I'm at work.

Well, it doesn't work for mine at all. Any tips? Did you have to anything to get it to work? Which ROM are you using?

All I did was install the app and it popped up a window that displayed sdcard and phone. Each option displays a list of the content on that storage device.

[Q] Downloading to external OTG storage?

Hi all,
I'm on the verge of getting a N10, just holding off a little longer to see if the 32GB version becomes available in the next few days (praying the 16GB doesn't go out of stock in that time).
I'm just wondering if when downloading files etc it gives you the option to save straight to the external otg storage? I don't mind getting the 16GB and using an otg cable for additional stoarge, but would be very handy if this is possible, ie does it show up in file explorer apps like solid explorer?
I believe you need to root the device to write to external storage, my N10 isn't rooted and reads USB storage fine. It just appears in esfile manager like any other but I cannot write to it.

Hi!
What specific app are you using for this? Do you use Nexus Media Center?
I've rooted and use stickmount. USB drives show up at /sdcard/usbStorage/sda in es file explorer and bs media player with full read/write access.
Edit
------
As for downloading, I can't say I've ever tried to download something with a browser to anywhere other than the default 'downloads' folder, but I have downloaded straight to USB with atorrent
