Weird stuff happening with my N7.
ROOTED unlocked and with stickmount, when mount mymicro sd adapter(one of those tiny adapters) ont my otg cable with a 32gb microsdhc stickmount detects something for a few seconds then shutdown.
Weird thing is if i use my ocz flash key it works fine, then after that is mounted if i switch over to the previoulsly mentioned microsd it works fine also., that is until reboot.
Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
I've searched around, checked the wiki and the manual but didn't find a definitive answer to the above question.
I bought 2 32gb cards from Amazon:
Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS32GSDHC10E
A-DATA AUSDH32GCL4-RA1 MicroSDHC 32GB Class 4 + SD Adapter, Black
I tested the following filesystems created with default settings using gparted on the A-DATA drive:
- ext2
- ext3
- ext4
- fat32
- ntfs
I also tested the following from Windows 7 x64:
- extfat
- fat32
- ntfs
Only fat32 seems to be working (I canconfirm that it works on the Transcend as well) - am I missing something? I was hoping for better filesystem support in Honeycomb 3.1 - fat32 is quite limited...
Please let me know if there's a way to enable ntds and/or ext4 support on the Transformer.
Cheers,
Peter

NTFS on my A-Data 16GB SD works (although it's acting wierd due to I think the dock and sleep mode so I'm sending it back for a microSD variant instead)
What is change and where to support drives, microsd and sd cards formated in ext2/3/4?
Darkonex: please clarify how you formatted your adata.

I just read about external drives in the accessories section and people there are reporting ntfs formatted drives connected over usb working without issues so I also checked with a 160gb usb drive formatted as ntfs - and it works!
Now my questions is how is it possible that ntfs is supported on usb drive while it is not supported on microsd/sd cards?

I simply put it in an SD card reader in my Windows 7 PC and formatted it through Computer Management to NTFS there.
I did some more tests and also asked Asus to confirm what are officially supported.
According to them FAT32 and NTFS are supported.
According to my tests NTFS only works using the keyboard dock's USB ports or SD reader, does NOT work using the tablet's micrSD slot - I was able to use my microD card in the tablet's microSD reader if it was formatted as FAT32. I'm quite sure this is an issue with the tablet as the same microSD card works in the SD card reader of the dock using a microD-SD converter formatted as NTFS.

Is it possible to copy videos stored on n10 to an external SD card?
1) Hook both the the N10 and the SD card up to your computer and copy.
2) Use Stickmount and an OTG cable to copy them.
Thanks, but, looking for a direct solution without use of a computer.

Then use Stickmount with an OTG cable. Plug an SD Card reader into the OTG cable and put your SD Card in it.

I actually have an issue with the SD card - i'm not able to write to it. It is mounted through stickmount and is shown in any explorer ( but not in the storage though) however I can't write to it (nor it is showing the content). I can 'read' the content using Nexus media Importer, but that's pretty much it
Any suggestions?
(i have rooted nexus 10)
Use FAT32 as filesystem. If you intend to store large videos (>4GB), you will have to split them into multiple linked files (using MKVtoolnix for example).
Is FAT32 the recommended way to go with sdcards as a general rule, or just in the OP's case?

fat32 is the read and write format for otg and ntfs is read only. So ya I would recommend fat32.

yes but you must format the card first before it will read.

I think the phone will do whatever is needed. I plugged in my new Sandisk 64GB card into the phone and it recognized it immediately, and mounted it a second or so later. Working great.

i formatted mine before i ever plugged it in.had issues with them not reading in the past so i just do it now to keep from running into problems
thanks guys. can I format it directly on the phone?

you can as long as the phone reads it if it does not don't worry should work fine once you format via computer..... I have a 64 GB micro in my phone and no issues but formated it on my computer good luck!
There are some kernels that won't recognize the exFAT format that most 64GB cards come with. ExFAT is proprietary from Microsoft. Stock kernels work. I kept having trouble, so I formatted my card to FAT32 on my computer. The only real limitation is FAT32 only allows files up to 4GB.

What should I format it to... The phone recognizes it and then promptly says remove SD card

Flash a different kernel such as kt's latest or put in your computer and reformat as fat32. I had this same problem and either of these methods will fix.

Are you on the stock ROM or custom ROM? (specifically the kernel)
If you are on the stock ROM, try to insert it into the phone, and if it says "remove sd card", ignore that and instead, mount it (settings, more, storage, scroll to the bottom - mount sd card). It should work after that.
If you are using a different kernel, you will need to find out if it supports exFAT. If not, you may only be able to use as FAT32
Hi, I seem to have USB OTG working to access an SD Card through my N7 (2012), but it only works with my 1GB card and not my 32GB card. Both are FAT32. Anyone know if there's a maximum size? Or have any pointers and getting this working? With the 32GB, StickMount says "usb storage is blank or has unsupported filesystem".
Running Kernel M (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168787) and CyanogenMod 11.0 by koko98 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509905)
Cheers
My first suggestion would be to test the 32 GB card in another device such as a laptop. If it fails to be recognized or requires formatting, that would be the issue. Another possible solution would be to format the card to NTFS as it appears Kernel M supports that file system.
Maybe the first thing to try, however stupid it may sound, is to reboot you Nexus if you haven't already. My own device can be finicky with some of my USB sticks and is often times fixed with a simple reboot for whatever reason. Hopefully one of these suggestions helps you with your problem.
Could the recovery version/type have anything to do with it??
I've been using a USB otg from meenova with a 16gb card, works fine with twrp 2.6.3.1 and 2.7.0.0.
Using gen 1 nexus 7.
