Saw this and was curious if anyone had tried it? Doesn't give a very good description as to whether or not its a reader for the PC or straight to a phone lol anyway here's the link

It's sold on ebay for $8 including shipping. Search for 330779088560.
I was tempted to order one, until I saw that the maximum capacity is limited to 16GB.
Yeah but is it a reader directly to the phone? And even 16 gigs is better than nothing at the moment at least till they get the internal mount figured out lol

I'm currently using an 8GB sdcard. I bought a 16GB and tried to transfer data. The first problem I have is that it takes forever to transfer it from my computer to the new card. I used a USB cord (new) and it still takes hours. Once it finally finished transferring I reboot and none of my data is there. What am I doing wrong?

Did you get the card from ebay? It's likely the card is a fake, or is just DOA.
of course ,i think the sd card is a fake,to change another sd card to try again

Download h2testw on windows and run it to check your SD cards validity

I bought the card from DailySteals.com. It looks like a legit card and my computer recognizes it.

Run that program above. Just because it looks good doesnt mean it is good, thats the whole reason these places make it look normal, so you think you are buying a real card.
And again, it could just be a bad card as well, contact the site and see about a return.
Will do.

Can you get more memory by removing apps on the nexus 7.I saw the nexus 7 8gb have only 5.9gb
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think you're better off putting all media in the cloud, and only apps on the nexus. Then figure out how to use a usb stick during the times you might need your media offline. That was my plan with another tablet anyway, but I never actually needed to use my flash drive... In over a year... Its good to know it can be made available if you do need it though. I did use over 8gb space though, so I bought 16gb nexus. I am gifting the 8gb nexus to someone who uses a kindle fire without running out of room. The device you need depends entirely on your usage and availability of wifi or data tethering.

The first 2 GBs are taken up by Android and the file system. Not much you can do.

Hmm.... I only use nexus 7 for some hd games, surfing, YouTube. All my videos, music are already on my galaxy s2. I think I can live with 8gb

I bought the nexus 4 8gb. too small i know buts thats what i can afford.
any way can some one explaine why the storage capacitiy is only 6 gb?
thats a real let down.
AW: [Q] A math problem with the storage size?!
It's because the system takes about 2GB of storage. So no "math problem" but some irritating advertisement.

This is no different than any other device. The same is true for any other android device and yes even the iPhone. The system ROM will always require a small portion of available space

As above plus have you ever seen a HDD that was advertised as e.g 500gb and actually had that 500 as usable space

<pedantic>Every 500GB HDD I've seen has at least 500GB of user-addressable space. Though not 500GiB.</pedantic>

No. On the iPhone the nand is larger than what is advertised. If you buy a 16GB phone there is a 20GB+ nand in there so that the user can access the 16GB that was advertised.

Where did you get this? There was a 20+ NAND built in but I could only use 14 in my 16 gig version.

I am talking about the iPhone 5/4/4S
Users that use iDevices get the full space as advertised, probably because it costs more anyways.
Android devices are cheaper so they couldn't care much about delivering whats advertised.
Any how, you shouldn't have any issues with an 8GB N4.
Considering DropBox (You can get 18GB of Dropbox space for as little as $5. I've personally bought it from here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160943243088?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I don't play games on my phone so that wont waste space either.
I just have about a gig of music on my phone.
Hello I plan to buy a nexus 4 next week but i dont if i should buy the 8gb just to save a little money & for it to come faster or should i just buy the 16gb ?
I think you should get the 16gb if you have the money in my case I wanted to save as much as I could and got the 8gb I dont store too many songs and always backup my pics to the cloud. Still have 4 gb of free memory.

You really need to give more info on how you plan on using the device. 8GB is just enough for a decent music library, a fair number of smaller apps and possibly a large HD game or a movie.
16GB is about right for me with my music, a movie, two large games (>1GB each), a Titanium backup, a CWM backup, some photos/videos and other random downloaded files.
better to shell out the extra cash, then to find out that you should have bought the 16GB.
Buy the 16gb if you ever plane to play on the nexus or you listening to music offline.

I stream my music online so i wont need to use the storage on the nexus for music. But i also heard that 16gb takes a longer time to be delivered? is this true?
Mine came the day after I ordered it. Earlier there was much higher demand for the 16GB N4 so it took longer to deliver. Right now not many people will be buying N4s so I don't see why it would take any longer than the 8GB version to be delivered.
I've the 16Go model since February and I'm really happy with it. My previous phone had 8Go of storage and I feel it was quite short for my use. Now I haven't anymore problem of storage.
The nexus came to me in 5 days after ordering on the playstore (sunday included).

It's about 5GB or so
Yea bro always go for more cause it could always help in the long run especially if u like to flash roms and things and music
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have the 16gb, and it has 12.something available gbs, so I expect the 8gb to be at around 4-5gb of available space. Keep that in mind, it's pretty low.
5.67 gigs available to user..enough for apps but maybe not enough for music and pics..

wow I just order my brothers nexus 4 yesterday it coming tomorrow in the morning that some fast shipping. I order a 8gb to see how much the system takes.
Just got my nexus today.
This thing is fast
But I discovered that it lacks a micro SD slot.
I have tons of things on msd cards now.
So the debate is whether to switch to a tf700 which has decent resolution but at least the stock rom is ridiculously slow and laggy
Does anyone have any experience with both of these platforms?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
Had both, kept the nexus 10. The tf 700 isn't even in the same league as it.
I uploaded all my music to Google play, if your concerned about the micro SD buy a $2 OTG cable from eBay and a $5 micro SD card reader from amazon (or one that does both) and install a ROM that supports OTG (most do).
I'm currently using my micro SD from my S3 this way.

Thanks I was wondering. If there was a way to use a card reader with this
Google probably wants people to use the "cloud"
But unless they want to roll out nationwide wifi that even works in the middle of nowhere and make da clowd unhackable, they really do most consumers a disservice by leaving off the sd card reader
Well regardless of my brief rant thanks again for mentioning the whole OTG thing
