USB usage - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

Can I use an USB flash drive, formatted in FAT32, with the USB & SD Connection kit to freely move files (photos, in my case) to and from the 7.7?
Thanks!

I am using a cheap USB host adapter and have no issues moving,
Comics, videos or pictures

Do you have the SD card in the phone, and are the movies in the "Transformers" folder on it? That's how it should be from stock, but I don't know if you are the original owner of the phone, etc
I am the original owner and the movies are in that folder. Thanks though.
Hey Reynaldo...that is my dads name cool!
When you are trying to click on the movies you don't have your computer connected to a computer with the data cable because depending on what option you select it unmounts the SD card making everything on there inaccessible so it is like it is not there...also...you didn't format your card did you. go to file explored and looks on the sd card and look for the folder that says transformers...if there is no folder then there are no movies. the quicklink might still be there but not the movies.

[Q] Media files (music, pictures, video) in SD Card not recognized by Honeycomb?

I read somewhere in this forum yesterday someone mentioned that when he inserted a SD Card full of pictures, the built-in Picture Gallery in Honeycomb does not display the pictures in the SD Card. He can only open each picture one by one from the File Manager. Further comments from other folks clarified that Asus added/mounted the SD Card reader but Honeycomb native applications do not recognized them yet.
Is this the case for all media files stored in either microSD card or the full SD card? I mean, most people (especially the 16GB owner) surely plan to use the microSD or SD card to expand the storage of the device. But if those media files cannot be recognized by the Honeycomb application, that means we still need to copy to the internal storage for those files?
I do not have the transformer yet but want to know about it. Thanks!

Hopefully this will be addressed as honeycomb matures. You can however access the files using a file explorer app, far from ideal but it will do for now.
From the File Manager, can we copy a folder from the SD card to the internal storage?
Or from the SD Card to an extenal storage like HDD?
(I'm trying to ask if we can copy a bunch of pictures in a SD card (taken from a camera) and store them in the external storage for backup and internal storage for displaying in the tablet).

Yes, you can copy files and folders using the file manager.
I have no problems with any of the few thousand photos or few thousand songs i have on my micro SD. The transformer recognizes everything fine in gallery, music app etc...
16g transformer here.... Hope that helps.
Also, After the recent OTA a few days ago my sd card disappeared, but i just popped it out put back in and back to normal...

And hopefully with the 3.1 update in June can just plug the camera in and move the files across in the file explorer..
Gallery3D is a piece of crap. It doesn't refresh properly

So, if I get it correctly, the issue I mentioned earlier is only with the full SD Card? (not affecting the microSD)?
At least, that's not that bad (as in our smartphone, the Android does recognize all music, pictures stored in the microSD card).

I can only speak for myself but that is the case for me.
I am having the same problem. I tried putting a few cd's onto both the sd and mcsd and still nothing. I cannot get the songs to play in the music player. I can however access pictures but cannot find any of the songs. Anyone else have this problem?
Most people said as soon as they plug in the card the TF automatically recognizes the songs and plays. Mine does not and I cannot find them anywhere even with an explorer app installed? I am also a Android novice!
No problems with pictures..
Regarding music, Have you tried going into settings >manage Apps and delete/clear the cache for the music player? That worked for me.

I had the same problem, until I removed the Music from my internal storage.
Now the music app sees everything on the MicroSD.
I've not had much luck with them seeing stuff on the dock mounted SD cards though.
That did it!!!!!! WOoooohooooooo! Thanks man. Jeez why should that be so damn difficult?! Thanks a ton man,

No problem, glad it worked for you.

pictures work just fine. as people have said, music can be iffy, just clear the data and it'll work.
one thing though, anything plugged into the USB ports or SD slot on the dock WON'T load in any of the default apps. at least not on the 3 USB drives i've tried. you can still open everything from the file manager without any issues, but they won't show up.
Make sure your sdcard is formatted using fat32
You are welcome
How do you get the camera to save images to removable storage?
I have no issues with default music app and playerpro seeing all my music on my microsd card.

At this point you don't :-(
Hopefully 3.1 or a subsequent update will work all this out.

I don't think that matters - Transformer can read/write external USB hard drives formatted to NTFS; there's no reason why it shouldn't read NTFS cards, either (not that I've tried, as it's kinda rare to have one).

USB flash drive to watch movies/connect keyboard with OTG Cable on Nexus 10

I keep seeing posts of people that use the Nexus Media Importer application to connect their flash drives to their Nexus 10 in order to see files. I just wondering if this has worked for everyone..I saw that some people were having issues...as am I. Whenever I connect my flash drive i can view the files but can't play the videos...............and absolutely nothing happens when I connect my keyboard through usb-OTG.
Any thoughts???

What happens when you click on the files when viewing in NMI? What files are you trying to play? Have you verified that you can play the files directly from your nexus?
Maybe with the video player you are using it doesnt support the file you are trying to watch? Has worked for me so far, connecting SD card, flash drive and HDD.

i get the same problem. nothing happens when i connect my usb with my n10. any help??
Try StickMount https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&hl=de
It works like a charm for me but unfortunatly you have to be rooted to use it. Also I think the N10 has problems dealing with NTFS out of the box so try FAT32 or ext3/4.
Good luck.
There are links on the StickMount playstore page to download files that allow full usage (r/w) of both exFAT and NTFS formatted volumes. The current version of StickMount works 100% for me.
Nexus Media Importer works great - no need to Root!

Nexus Media Importer (vrs 4.0.3 ) works perfectly for my N10 - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE ROOTED!! I've only used FAT32 USB sticks and it works as advertised and it's awesome Make sure you download the paid version ($2.95 or so CND). Expand the Overview in the Google Play Description by clicking MORE and there are youtube videos showing the proper process, it works great and I'm thrilled to get the extra space and watch movies right from the USB stick using MX Player or copy movies, pics, music etc. to internal storage if I want to. Excellent app - five stars! I will be trying a NTFS Formated stick so I can use > 4Gb files (mkv prob) but haven't yet. It does claim to handle NTFS formatted drives.

Explorer crashes when transfering 1gb+ to SD

"Windows explorer has stopped working" it says whenever i try to transfer a large video file from my PC to my SG4 via USB. Tried
- two cables
- two different USB ports
- different files all sizes 1.3-1.8 gb
- card in adapter directly. It works with the adapter. So how do I make it work with the cable? I've transfered plenty of small video files ~100mb without any problems.
Thoughts?
Hmm the fourth thread I read about this says
This is happening to me too, whatever size the mkv file is. What i do is, rename the mkv extension to mo or any ma, then copy paste to sd card, rename it in root explorer back to mkv.

Is this really the only way!? What a hassle!
