[Q] Has anyone transferred a >4GB file? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm considering which N10 to get 32GB or 16GB, if I can transfer >4GB files then the 32GB makes sense... so has anyone transferred >4GB files and played the fine?
I want to transfer files 5-18GB.
Thanks.

It's MTP so there's no FAT32 issues.

I tried last night on a mac and hit the 4gb limit.

Put a 720p copy of Dark Knight rises on mine which was 6.56GB and worked fine.

I threw on a 1080p copy of Inception coming in at around 13GB and did just fine.

So do I, all fine

[Q] Galaxy Tab & Fat32

Hi Everyone...
I Will Be New To Galaxy Tab On Wednesday
I Almoust Studied The Whole Forum...
There Is Just This One Question I Couldnt Get An Answere For...
Everyone Is Watching 720p and 1080p Movies On The Tab...
But How To Transfer 4-5-6-7 GB Movies to FAT32...
Do You Need To Split Every Movie Before Transfering It...???
Or Can The SD CARD Be NTFS?
FAT32 has a limit of 2TB not 2GB. a 7GB file can be transferred to the FAT32 microSD card without problem.
As Far As I Know Is The File Size Limitation 4GB for FAT32...
I Am Danm SURE About That...
You Can Not Transfer A File That Is ONE PIECE And Bigger Than 4GB In Size...!!!

This is correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat32#FAT32
The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232−1) bytes.

I don't split my movies, but I do use Ripbot to condense them down to <4GB so that I can put them on my Fat32 drive. It works like a charm. Let me know if you want details as to how I rip my blu-rays.

[Q] Fat32 file system..

Hey guys,
So I recently tried to transfer finding nemo 720p (dont judge me) onto my internally storage of my atrix, however since it is 4.5 gb file, it denies it. I researched a bit and realized its because of the fat32 file system the internal storage has. Is it possible to change it to NTFS. Or do i have to buy a microsd card? if so, which kind do you guys have?
Thanks!
fat32 won`t let you put any files larger than 4gb, and the atrix doens`t recognise ntfs, so even if you get an sdcard and format it, it still won`t work. You could try to get in SD, won`t be the same quality, but I can tell you it works fine
Re-encode the video at a lower bit rate so that it ends up being smaller than 4GB, it'll be lower quality but no worse than taking some SD version instead.
EDIT: The PenTile screen's graininess will add "detail" that gets lost with the lower bit rate anyway.
He could always ext3 format the card and copy thinggs over in linux
Here's wishing android gets XFS support! Lol, but srsly, ext3 works on droid?

thanks for the reply guys. thats a shame though, but i guess another option would be to have the video split into 2 parts.

Well... it'd probably be more believable than NTFS, since the Android OS is based on Linux last time i checked.

Moving Files & Folders to Ext sdcard from Internal storage

I searched and have been trying to move files to external sdcard from the Internal storage on my galaxy Note 10.1. I came across on the google play a file manager called File Manager HD (Tablet ) I have successfuly transferred files from internal to ext sdcard without any issues, reason i have been trying cause i have the 16 gb version and was also concerned about space now i wont have to. Hopefully this will help you if you are:worried about your internal storage. nI prefer the White than the Grey
The 16 gb space limitation really is only a problem for people who want lots of big games on their tablets. I have about 200 or so apps on my tablet and have barely used any space at all. I keep all my media files and backups on the external SDCard.
I have a12 foot HD projection screen at home hooked to my computer. After youve played Dirt 3 Racing on a 12 foot HD screen anything on a tablet just seems silly. Luckily this means 16 gb is more than i'll ever need

Yep and thd gamers can use App 2 SD and GL to SD to move the massive downloaded portions of the games to external storage. Saved me a ton of space.

[Q] unlimited file size?

I want to put bluray movies on my sandisk ultra micro sd 64 gb card to use on my galaxy s5 that i get from a friend. i also wantr to be able to record for as long as I want.What file format will S5 support for this since my s3 couldn't do it. I'm not into rooting so thats not an option.
Thanks,
Bumo

The format of the SD card is what matters here I believe, I think its Fat32 that you need, look it up, between ext and fat32 one of them can only store files up to a particular size, 4GB if i remember right, I think its Fat32 you need, but like I said, double check..you also won't need to root either. Hope this helps, FYI watching blue ray on a five inch screen is going to be wasted, a ripped BRay would be alright, usually about 2GB and both file systems can take that size.

[Q] Expanding Internal storage

OBB data on SD card
I'm using 32GB sd card on 16GB Nvidia Shield..
There is option to move apps and games to sd card.. The OBB data won't support only the application apk are moved actually to sd card... I know this issue is seen from kitkat when Google blocked app to use to sd card.. But in lollipop it was reverted.. So now is it application developer that they are not using sd card or its the OS limitation?
Because games OBB data take all the inbuilt storage... Any solutions for this?
Was this fixed in the 1.2 firmware? They specifically state something about the apps moving to sdcard.
tested this the other day after the update. I installed a 2.6gb game and moved it to a 64gb micro sd. It moved the entire game. i have 2.6gb on the sd card and no storage missing from my system. Nvidia is killing it with this system!!!

Yes they are, I am not used to such support.
After the update I noticed all of games on sdcard did not show up for about 5 minutes. I wonder if it moved everything over for me or if I have to remove and reinstall each game?

everything worked fine for me...you should not have to do that
Would this work with an external hard drive as well?

Nope it's only an option for the Micro SD slot. You cannot put apps on any USB device

Well I guess if I get this I will have to go with the 500 gb version.

500gb version has a hybrid drive with a small flash storage combined with the HDD. It's a good option I just thing the 16gb version with an SD card is more flexible and may perform better in the long run

Looking at the pictures on the nVidia slides, do you know if it's possible to open up the casing and install a 2.5" drive yourself ? I might have an old 2.5" drive somewhere. Looks like a drive bay with a regular SATA connector, like the PS3 or PS4.

I believe I read the non-Pro version does not have the connector available. There IS a spot for a surface mount connection, but that would take some semi-experienced soldering.
I'm interested to know what the people who went for the HD model are storing on there? I stream all my media so a 64gb Micro sd would probably be more than sufficient for apps and android games. If the markup to the HD model was $50 it would be a no brainier, but $100 is a bit steep. I'm guessing we might see a price drop in upcoming months. The device is definitely to my "to get" list, im UK based so will import via amazon

I don't know if the Shield tablet is the same but even though I use Foldermount to move game data to external SD, I ended up maxing out my internal storage since it still keeps some of the app internally along with my other apps. If the move to sd option on the shield TV does the same, then eventually you will run out of internal memory. But from what I'm reading here, it moves everything, so you might be ok. The problem with my shield tablet is since I'm out of internal memory I cannot update any of my games and large apps unless I make more room.. So I decided to go with the 500gb with the shield TV so I don't run into any issues later. I'm also going to download movies so I need more room.
I believe it does more the whole app now buddy. I do understand the need for local storage if you'r storing films and other media on there. Its just for my use case I have a NAS device plugged into my wireless router and just stream everything from there. Getting a NAS was the best purchase I ever made and I would recommend it to anyone. I think it was like $100 and them I just dropped a 4tb drive in there. Instant network share and streaming for all the devices in the home.
I got the 500gb. After owning the Shield Portable and then the Shield Tablet. I did not want to got through the lack of storage again. I did not like moving apps to the sd card since it is much slower storage. Also I used my refund from the Beats Pill XL recall so it was an easy choice of which Shield version to get.
I for one don't like the idea of the OS running off the hd of the 500gb model so I bought me a high performing micro sd. This one has read/write speeds up to 90mb/s.
I have yet to test its performance off of the Shield console but I've read these cards perform around the max speeds on the Shield tablet.

I bought the lexar 128gb rated at 95mb/s for my note 4, and using A1 Sd benchmark I only get 46mb read / 17mb write. I will side load that app to my console and see how the card does compared to the 500gb drive.

You have to be careful when looking at these micro SD cards and their write speeds. A lot of them just say "up to 90MB/s", but never specify if that is read or write speeds until you dig through the tech details. I also came across the Lexar first, but noticed that the write speeds were very low, which actually seems to be the norm for most 128GB cards at the moment.
The only two I would recommend is the above Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB, or the Samsung 64GB Pro. I actually just bought the Samsung tonight as a used Amazon warehouse deal for $36, still facotry sealed.
Only card I recommend anyone buy these days are the Samsung Evo cards. I have had zero issues with them. Plenty fast. I record 4K straight to the card all of the time without any glitches.
I'm actually running an older sandisk extreme 64gb in my shield right now because I had it living around. Had problems in my LG g3 with it but it is working flawless in my shield... Go figure.
I'm also running all of my video and emulated roms off of a 64gb usb 2.0 stick from sandisk. Works great
