Hi guys,
So I'm sitting happy with the new N4, but my photo galleries in my Galaxy Nexus are still on the old device. I've searched Google up and down but there doesn't seem to be a way to copy the galleries from one device to another. How'd you guys manage to get your old photos and videos onto your new N4?
Most likely via their phone charger (usb cable) hooked up to their computer and transferred the data to their computer and then transferred the data from their computer to their new phone.
transfer the stuff on your galaxy nexus to the computer. Then hook up your N4 and transfer it from the computer to your N4. Or if you want to do it the long way you can android beam everything lol.

Hi,
I was using my phone to take some pictures and suddenly I was looking in the gallery for old movies and pictures (had 550 of them) and its all gone !!!
I connected the phone to the PC and still nothing is there except for the last pictures taken and some old pictures i imported from old phone.
I don't have an External SD all on the phones memory.
anyway i can retrieve the data ?
thanks.
Solution
1. Connect the phone in USB storage mode to your PC.
2. Download a program called Recuva, install it and run
3. A wizard will guide you through the recovering process - make sure you select the phones drive from the list.
That is it.
good luck
Hi guys,
i'm currently quite confused. My TV has a USB port that I can playback videos stored on a memory stick. This also worked with videos stored on micro sd card in my HTC Sensation when I plug the phone into my TV via USB.
However, when I plug in my Nexus 7, it can't find anything.
I tried it on a Sony N100 media player. Again nothing.
I then tried it on a WDTV Live. Again nothing.
I then plugged it into my laptop, went into the folder on my Nexus 7 where i store my movies, and clicked to play it on my laptop.
Instead of playing it, it began to copy the video file to somewhere on my laptop.
What is going on here? Is there anyway to get it to playback via USB connection onto a TV?
My Nexus 7 is unrooted, and am hoping for some kind of work around.
Whilst I primarily bought the tablet to watch programs on the train whilst commuting, I also wanted to be able to load some videos on it, take it to a friend's and play it back on their tv.
As it always worked fine on my android phone, I just assumed it would work on the Nexus 7.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

The Nexus 7 isn't a UMS device. Which means that when you plug it into something, it DOESN'T look like a USB flash drive (no FAT/FAT32/whatever filesystem). In order to access files on it, you'd need a host device that supports MTP (or PTP). Windows has this support built in, but I imagine most devices that don't run windows are lacking that ability. My MacBook won't even read files off of my N7 without "Android File Transfer" (and there's no MacFUSE driver available).

I take it that even rooting the N7 wouldn't help here then?

I remember seeing an advanced option in some CM9/10 builds on my Nexus S to enable UMS, but I can't comment as to whether that feature exists/works on the N7. I'm (shock!) running unrooted stock.
So I have a stock nexus 4 I am trying to back up all of my data to my PC from, and for some reason it keeps trying to only transfer some of the files to my PC when I drag everything from the phone storage to my pc. I have the phone hooked up via usb cable from the phone using MTP connection.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening, or maybe how to fix it?
Did you do a media scan?
MTP sucks. Try using Airdroid or something similar. once you get used to it it's a lot faster.
Hi
Can I play movies on PC from nexus 4 while it's connected with USB cable like it was a regular flash drive?
When I try doing it the file is being downloaded first then plays. If the file is big it takes a lot of time.
I'm using windows 8.
Better copy the film to your pc first. I got the same problem but dont think this is os related. Just a bad read speed, worse than actually usb 2.0.
The speed is onpair with usb 2.0, still copying the whole movie to some unknown place instead of direct play is unnecessary and waste of time.
My previous phone had an sdcard which appeared as hard drive when connected to PC, but N4 appears as portable device. This sucks
That's because the Nexus 4 doesn't support USB On The Go. Search xda for "Nexus 4 OTG" and you'll come across some threads about this, and a couple of workarounds that might, or might not work for you :fingers-crossed:.
Hey there
I wasn't looking for USB OTG, which is a way to connect external drives to the device. I'm looking for a way to use N4 itself as a regular external drive while connected to PC. Currently it's seen by PC as a portable device and it's pretty limited.

I would assume increasing the SD read-ahead (if you're on a custom kernel) might help with your issue here. But as someone else previously mentioned, copying to PC is definitely the better option. That, or just enjoy the movie on your Nexus4
So I've got a quick question here, basicly, I have an old xperia z I was using before I got the 6p,
Now I want to move stuff from the xperia to the 6p quickly without using pants Bluetooth lol,
Trying to use a usb-c to USB a, then a otg USB-a to micro usb but its not simply working, the 6p shows the drop down menu but no matter what I choose the xperia z recognises nothing, anyone know if I have to change settings or something? Maybe some other way to transfer? As I don't have a pc or laptop, only a nexus 7, nexus 6p and an xperia z.
Cheers
You could use Dropbox, Google drive or a similar cloud file storage service.

Worth a thought, take it no USB otg then? Got quite over 40gb to transfer so could take a while on my connection xD
You can do this with es file explorer and transfer files directly with WiFi. But if you're doing 40 gigs I would personally Xfer them to computer then back to new phone to make sure the WiFi Xfer doesn't get messed up half way through
WiFi menu -> ... -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi Direct.
Do this on both phones. Connect them. Send files across.

Cheers for the ideas guys, couldn't transfer to a comp then over since I don't have one, so what I did is bought a usb-c hub with micro SD reader, transfered stuff from SD card to nexus, delete, then move rest of stuff over using SD as its only 32gb card, works nice, just es doesn't recognise the SD card in the hub, had to use built in explorer
