Possible to copy large files to the external SD card? (exFAT)

I and many with me cant copy files over 4gb directly to our SD cards. There should not be any problem with the file size since the cards are formatted in exFAT but files over 4gb cant be copied.
If you copy a large file first to the internal memory and then over to the SD card it works, but not directly to it.
I get this error message:

How come? It is really irritating.
I am using a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 card but I think that it has something to do with the note 2 settings somehow because I dont think that the same problem occurs with the S3.
I have tried with the standard explorer in windos(simply crashes), Airdroid, ES File Explorer and Kies.
This issue has been discussed a bit here as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889203&page=5
Any ideas or work around except copying first to the internal which is getting overfilled already.

Hi.
I can confirm it is possible, but you need a rooted Note 2. I just copied a 5.26 Gbyte video to my Note 2 64 GByte card ...
It's not stable though: just after copying, the Note 2 became veeeeeeery slow and needed a reboot. I'm sure that'll work out better in the future.
You need:
- On the phone: SGS3 Easy UMS (see here)
- On the PC: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe (see here)
SGS3 Easy UMS needs BusyBox and asks for its installation. I used the "Install" method during the BusyBox installation instead of "Smart Install". I don't know if it matters, but it worked at least.
Because of the slowness issue, I instructed SGS Easy UMS to use MTP again as default. It's easy enough to swith to UMS mode if necessary.
YMMV : hope it helps

Actually I've run into this issue on the Note 10.1 with the same scenario.
I just put the files on the Micro SD card directly, then insert the card into the tablet.

Maybe not, bought it three years ago.
I will try on another computer as well and then maybe buy another sd card reader, any tips on which one to buy?

This is the one i've been using for years... Its a whole $0.47 cents!!! lmao!!!!

Any update about this issue?

ikonane,
I currently own a Note AND a Note II (see my signature) and the process was the same, you format your MicroSD XC in NTFS and not exFAT which is not properly recognised by Notes. This is the most tricky part as I had to buy a specific microsd reader from Sony that was supporting XD format otherwise I was only allowed to use the first 32GB.
Once done, you install (you need to be root) on your Note II NTFSSD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oyaxai.ntfssd) and voila, you can copy files above the 4GB limit either by using your microsd adapter or using the usb link.
One additional piece of information, I prefer use the microsd adapter because speed transfer is faster (7 MB/s) than with the USB link (around 2MB/s) and with the Note II you can eject your sdcard without turning your mobile off which was not possible with the first occurrence of the Galaxy Note.
Hope it helps.

simply.....format the external card to FAT32 file system

Hahaha, someone who thinks they know what they're talking about.
This wouldn't be a problem if FAT32 could handle files over 4gb, but you knew that right? Oh yeah I'm sure you did.

[Q] External USB OTG sd card mounting?

My rooted 32GB Nexus 10 will immediately mount a 1.8 inch hard drive I use for both data storage and TWRP backups via a USB OTG connection. I can also mount usb thumb drives without any issue. My problem is that I am unable to mount any microSD or SD/SDHC cards using the exact same mounting components along with card readers that work well on both Mac and Window's systems. The sd cards I have tried are formatted fat32, sized from 4GB to 32GB, and all cards are readable on both Mac and Windows systems. As far as mounting the cards, in addition to the settings system mount, I have tried both StickMount and USB OTG Helper to no avail. With USB OTG Helper, I do get the following message: "Mount started at /storage/UsbOtg Drives" immediately followed by "No drives mounted (Code 9)." I am currently using the latest Rootbox rom but to determine if this problem could be rom specific, I restored a previouly used month old EOS 4.0 rom backup but received the same errors from both roms. In my search for the solution to this problem, I read that the kernel could cause this issue so in addition to the kernel included with the roms, I flashed three other kernels with the same result. I also fixed all Permissions. The last thing I did was download the Nexus Image Viewer app which does not require root. To my surprise the app mounted and could read the sd cards. However, this is not a solution as I want to be able to use sd cards for TWRP backups. One last piece of information is the USB Device Info app shows that the connection with the Image Viewer app is /dev/bus/001/002, but I can not find any folder (only the app) that actually shows the card's contents. When I mount either the hard drive or the thumb drive, the Device Info app always shows the connection is /dev/bus/usb/001/003 and the storage contents are located at /storage/usbdisk. I have no idea if this is significant or not.
Does anyone have any ideas on how or if this problem can be resolved?

I may have included too much info in my original post. I probably should have only asked if other Nexus 10 users are able to mount and read USB OTG SD cards? If so, did you have to do anything special to mount the card and what ROM are you using?
Thanks!

So, no one is able to read SD cards with the Nexus 10's USB OTG? If that is the case I will stop trying to figure it out and be happy that I can mount and read thumb drives and regular hard drives.

Some multi card readers needs a kernel with SCSI_MULTI_LUN Support. No offence meant, but perhaps you could try to search. At least the kernel from craigngomez [spelling?] will have this config included.
If you are expirience your issue with a single card reader forget about my answer - this should run out of the box. Perhaps you can give stickmount.apk a try.

If you have a rooted device then install USB OTG Helperhttp://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...f3uXlh6DBItn-qTTMC1QUWg&bvm=bv.49478099,d.aWM.
That app reads many different formats (fat16/32, ext2,3,4, NTFS and even an experimental exFAT). It works great on SD cards including multi-card USB readers. Even NTFS can be used with Read/Write permissions in most cases including with a stock ROM.

Thank you both for your suggestions. They were very much appreciated.
As to the USB OTG Helper, I had already tried the USB OTG Helper as well Stickmount without success.
As to the kernel suggestion, I had seen in earlier searches that kernels can impact USB-OTG functioning (although I didn't understand why) and had already tried three kernels but not the one suggested. After the lead quoted above, I did flash the Gomez AnyKernel but it also did not resolve my issue.
So...based on one of my earlier searches which recommended starting completely clean, including formatting /data/media storage, I took the plunge and formatted all storage and reflashed the Rootbox rom. On my first attempt and all attempts since then, I am now able to read not only usb-otg hard drives and thumb drives, but also all the usb-otg sd cards I had not been able to mount and read prior to this procedure. Since all my external Nexus used storage devices are formatted fat 32, I have not needed any usb helper to get the mount, but simply use the mount in Settings - Storage. As to the Nexus with the cleaned up storage, not only has it resolved the sd card problem but it also seems to be running faster than it was prior to the complete format. Perhaps after months of trying different Roms it was in need of a fresh start!

This looks great... so you just need an OTG adaptor and you can mount hard drives and SD cards so we can expand the device memory and carry large files around or store large files?
could you mount external storage from recovery?

TWRP does includes the ability to use OTG storage. I don't know if any other recovery have that feature.

Well that's a good start... so what do you need for OTG storage, just some weird adaptor cable or something? Will only USB pen drives work?
Can you move some apps like Spotify to external storage? The crippled 16GB memory on my Nexus 4 totally sucks for Spotify. Extreme sound is taking up a lot on my Nexus 10 too.
But even if maybe for large external music stores like recorded radio streams at high quality would be nice if say PowerAmp can pull from it?

Nexus Media Importer, available in the play store, lets you read USB devices, including SD card readers, that are attached to a USB OTG cable. I've not had any problem displaying photos or playing music or videos from an SD card on my Nexus 10 using Media Importer. Another alternative is a WiFi drive. Ravpower makes one that has an SD slot and full size USB slot. On your Nexus, the WiFi disk appears as a wireless network. Connect to it as you would any other wireless network and you can browse and play media that's attached to the device, including an SD card.

[Beta][Exclusive] Firmware update 1.1.76_r1 [USB Storage]

OUYA 1.1.76_R1 USB STORAGE CLOSED BETA FIRMWARE​Hello OUYAers! Here's the ouya closed beta dump of "usb storage" update
Enjoy it and have a nice day!
Features and notes
The details:
Probably obvious, but just in case: connect your drive using the USB port on the back of the OUYA.
L3 from the main menu safely ejects your drive. There may be bugs if you yank the drive without ejecting first (but if you want to be a maverick and do it anyway, feel free to report issues you see).
Right now we only recognize 1 external drive at a time, so you won’t be able to put a bunch of drives on a hub and see them all.
We support FAT32 and NTFS, but not formats like exFAT.
Games on external storage are currently associated with the OUYA they were downloaded from (so you can’t use the storage to transfer a game from one OUYA to another).
We expect that you’ll be receiving more system updates as we fix reported issues.
We expect USB storage to be fully functional. You can download games to it, move games to it, play games from it… just use it like a user! And please, please report any issues you run into by clicking the link above.

May have to tinker with some other devices, I have a couple external hard drives and a few USB sticks laying around and have ran across a couple that just won't work. If you are on this beta firmware you will get a notification when you plug is a USB drive, then when you go to download a game from the ouya store it will ask you where you want to save it.
I have a newer seagate 1TB drive plugged into a powered 7 port USB hub with a wireless USB logitech keyboard mouse combo unit (K400r) it works a champ. Several 16 and 32 GB udb sticks worked well. I have an older Iomega external drive, under 500 gigs that does not work.

oh,ok...sweet!!:good: i wasn't sure if the OUYA will throw me a notification when plugging in a USB drive...i also have a 4 port USB hub that works perfect with the OUYA, i have a 160gb laptop hard drive put away that im not using, i'm going to have to get me a USB Hard Drive Enclosure or a hard drive adapter or i might just buy a USB stick and see if it works...Thanks for the info and for clarifying it...

It also seems to work well with installs from the play store (once rooted and play store installed of course). I installed both GTA games from my play store account, and both downloaded the additional data and stored it on my external drive with no problems.
Seems to be working basically as it should have out of the box...

it keeps telling me "an error occurred" when i go to install anything from the ouya store after selecting external but will install to internal just fine and my play store doesn't open at all anymore after trying to install netflix, it immediately kicks me to the homescreen when i try to open it..
i did upgrade to the most recent stockplus before going to this and wiped before putting on stockplus and that loaded everything up fine, i set up my ouya account and then flashed this usb beta update, went through hell getting the play store to work but finally pulled it off haha and after all that.. it no worky..
i have a 1.5tb Western Digital in ntfs.. had an ext4 on there that i took off since i thought this would work haha

new beta update V2...
Has anyone managed to DL the newest beta FW yet? (abominable snowman - updated version of the external storage FW)
hxxp://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/21/ouya-pushing-out-abominable-snowman-its-largest-update-yet/
I think the update server is overloaded, as mine keeps bugging out at 50%...
#EDIT - okay it did finally download after I uninstalled the OUYA mods / Xposed Framework and then Re-installed them...problem is that it now gets stuck on CWM in "pink" mode...then reboots like no FW update was ever installed...
#EDIT 2 - okay, you have to navigate to select YES to "Uninstall CWM" when in CWM recovery, the NO to the disable recovery flashing prompt...now finally on "Abominable Snowman"
@frickinjerms - you cannot DL to external media properly with the first beta update, I had to DL new games and "move" them from internal to external...hopefully this will be fixed in future updates...
Use the Root my OUYA to get ROOT back...

App to allow transferring of files between 6P and external SD card reader

So I have this USB card reader which works fine in the 6P, I can view files on the SD card.
The problem is I can't write to the SD card. i want to be able to copy/paste stuff from my 6P to this external SD card.
I saw this thread about Total Commander which has promise but I still can't copy/paste from one drive to another.
Ideally I just want the SD card to show up in a program like es file explorer or root explorer so it acts like the phone has an SD card.
Has anyone figured this out?

My SD card reader (got a type-c one from Amazon Rocketek) works, but I had to use "USB OTG File Manager for Nexus" - trial version let me read but paid for the full version to have proper write. Appears due to the security issues with FAT, the storage is "portable" storage and not treated like internal storage. Unlike some postings that show the option to re-format it as Internal storage, that is not possible for this one that I used and not desirable. The USB OTG File Manager let me move 4K videos from the phone to the stick and normal settings from Storage & USB let you go browse the storage. It is able launch the videos using specified app (I used MX Player for the 4K videos). So it is slower than normal access since the app has to go through separate APIs - but does work fine.

Thanks I'll try it out!

ES File Explorer won't write to your OTG device?

Unfortunately not. Tried a number of file managers but none saw the USB storage. Then looked at USB otg apps after that.

Good to know, since I already dropped the $2.49 for the one I use, I'll just stick with it, also it's a good app for those who don't want to root. Either way, good to know there is more than one option.

I had no problem using esfile explorer to write to the same monoprice adapter. Weird that its not working for you. In fact I just downloaded a photo, cut it from the download directory, and dropped it to the base of my Micro SD card.

stick mount is an OLLLLD OTG "driver" utility that will allow most, if not all, apps to use the OTG storage natively. i don't have any C adapters to test this, but i always though ES integrated this at some point, but you may need to flick a switch.

It's working for me natively in ES

Ok what you need to do is format your SDcard to FAT32 format.
I was having the same problem so what I ended up doing was I moved all my documents from the SDcard onto my Macbook.. then used Disk Utility to Erase the thumb drive in FAT32. When plugged, ES Explorer recognized and now I am transferring my TWRP back up on it.. I hope it works for you too..

A7 does not recognize a USB-C Stick

Hi,
I'm using atm. Candy Rom with Llama Sweet with the Universal Bootloader from LOS Thread.
Just bought me a USB-C Flash Drive (SDCZ450-064G) and does not recognize it on TWRP or under Candy, already tried the Flash Drive on the PC and formatted it to Ext3 (it was FAT32 before), but it also not works in the Phone.
is this maybe a Kernel or Rom related problem? or do otg only work with stock?
someone has an idea or tips for me? already tried USB-OTG Helper from XDA.

Are your phone's problem get fixed? USB-C Flash Drive, you mean SD card, right? I have experienced same problem, if you put your question clear, I may help you.

nope, the Problem is still there. Its a USB-c Flashdrive not a SDCard (added a Pictue of it) SD works well.
The Problem is, the RED Status LED of the Flashdrive goes on but the Phone does not Show the Drive in the System, so i can not access it, the same Problem is in TWRP (newest Version, 3.1.1).
I think this is something with the A7. already found other Topics in Different Boards with the same Problem without resultion.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I still don't get your means. Are you saying your USB flash disk cannot be detected by your phone, is that your meaning?
But, as far as I know, phone cannot detect USB flash disk, only PC can. So, phone can detect SD card. I guess you mean that you put your SD card into your card reader then your phone cannot detect your SD card when you put your SD card into your phone, am I right?

USB OTG is a thing. Phones can read normal, PC pendrives with a simple adapter

Hey. In the beginning I had the same problem. The sotution was to change the OTG adapter. The axon wants not every ordinary thing
THIS IS THE OF YOUR CHOICE:

Thanks for your reply. Finnally I get your idea, I 'm sorry that I have not ever used USB OTG before.

problem is still there, the phone still not recognize the USB-C Flashdrive / Stick / thumb drive, tried different rom's and kernel ..
(there is no need for a USB-C to USB-A Adapter, the Flash drive / Stick / Thumb Drive is already USB-C)

Yea, but it's easier to understand for someone who doesn't know the basic idea of OTG
I'll try something and let you know

Thanks for your reply. Have you try another different USB-C? I think the problem may caused by USB-C.

Yep tried it on my PC, formated the Flash Drive / Thumb Drive / USB Stick in Different Formats without any Problem.

I suspect the problem is a matter of power. Your USB-C flash stick is expecting higher voltage typical in most USB-c devices. Your phone is giving the stick USB-A levels of power, just enough power to read the stick's ID, but not enough to power flash chip.
It might work via a powered hub or you'll need to find an alternative stick that.has a lower power usage.

Then I ask myself the question, why does it work with an OTG adapter and a USB-C to USB-A (Male) adapter?
If this drive needs more power than normal it should not work in this Situation.
