No you cant...and it is not ext4.

Just tried on Mac:
The file "testfile.txt" is too large.
Android File Transfer can only transfer files under 4 GB in size

I had no problem transferring HD movies on my device. (One was 4.4GB and the other 7GB)
But I'm on CM10.1 nightlies, so that night be a factor.

4gb is a limitation of the fat32 file system
so unless someone's made a way for it to read NTFS there wont be
I was thinking that 800/480 is slower than 480p . I dont know verry well howbis with resolutions . Thanx

480p = 720x480 or 854x480, 1080p is 1920x1080 which is over 4 times the resolution of the phone screen. Quality and speed isn't based on resolution.
Thank you. What is the best torrent downloader that all fo you use?

Except Android is linux based and uses the ext2 filesystem, if I got things right, so the filesize limit should be 16GB minimum (I'm not sure about android ext2 block sizes?)
Is 4 gb even you try to download from phone or.to.copy from pc .. I was trying woth ttorrent.

that S2 is equipped with an HDMI port so it can connect to any full-HD LCD or plasma TV to play HD movies?

+ 1 for this.
I use my phone for films with HDMI output at my parents house when I visit and full hd would be awsome.
So has anyone been able to get the phone to mount the SD card with ext2 partition? I am receiving unsupported filesystem error.

When I look my partitions I see that my SD Card and my external SD Card are formatted in FAT32.
The only solution for microSD is format the microSD and use
fuse.ko and ntfs-3g from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15167790&postcount=41
if the video is mkv it should be simple to cut in pieces, even without recoding.
yeah, we can use file splitter to split that video instead of converting it to lower resolution thats what I did with my transformers 3 hd and it works fine

i think it wont work for memory card....its for mounting usb....
memoy cards with ntfs file system may work with minor modifications in kernel....and system......
any dev may focus this issue...then we can get rid of this limitation........

Batch converter for MP3's to make them more Nexus 7 compatible

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good MP3 converter that I could use to lower the bitrate on 360 MP3 files? They are talk only educational files (study material for a licensing exam) but they are inexplicably recorded in 256kpbs making them over 6GB together. As they are basically a lecturer talking I really don't need such high quality and since our 16GB Nexus devices only come with 13GB of usable space, that's almost half the space right there!
So what do you folks use to batch convert? I've only found ways to convert one at a time and...like I said...there's 360 files! LOL
I use dbPoweramp. Works quite well and is multithreaded.

[Q] Video capture limit to 4 Giga ??

Is there a way to bypass that limit?
On Full Hd allows you to record only 32 min. I need more. My card is exFat formatted . Thank you for help.

No one? All of you are happy with 32 min of Fhd recording?

If I am not mistaken for FAT filesystem max file size is something around 4GB. So with that file system i don't think it is possible to get larger.

Its pretty clear that you can't read at all. He said his card was formatted in exfat. But anyway I wonder if maybe there is an xposed module that would allow longer hd video

Nexus 4 8gb

Is it enough 8gb of storage in you n4?
Sent from my HTC One X
It truly depends. Are you going to stream your music from the cloud, or are you going to store it on the device? Do you want to have full-length HD movies saved on your device? Do you want plenty of room for backups? It's totally your call.

I have a 16 GB nexus (12 gb usable) , and I only use half of it, considering that I have a lot of useless images saved, and some old ROM zips here and there.
You can also use Google Drive, or Dropbox as cloud storage, and get extra space.

I find it is plenty, for Music I use Google drive to store and stream my MP3' and tune in radio for other music,
and Google + syncs my photos when i'm on wifi automatically
I have a 5 gig data plan so it is not an issue, but it could be if you want to store and stream music from the cloud.
from 8gb you have 5gb available to user, I tend to save 2 gb for recording funny events while out in public
the photos use alot of space due to exif data,
1gb for cwm backup
i don't have a good plan so I store music and use my network to stream when at home.

I've got nearly 12 GB free in my 16GB version so I could have managed easily with the 8. You never know when you might need the space though!
I usually use about half of my 8gb nexus, I have mainly small apps (not much of a mobile gamer) and photos.

On my hox now i used 8gb memory but its good to know that there is plenty left.. so with n4 i should watch what i keep in there

I would go with the 16gb. I would rather have more than enough space, instead of not having enough.

[Q] 16 GB is enough?

I was wondering if nexus 4's 16 GB of internal storage is good enough and the fact that i'm not able to expand it won't be a pain
Yes and no. I had a micro 32g in my RAZR and it was plenty.
Now I have a 16g Nexus and am half full. I don't have movies on my phone. All pictures are stored in the cloud and viewed with GalleryNext from CyanogenMod.
Music is not a problem.
All files are on my cloud Drive.

16gb is more than enough if you believe in the cloud. If you like to have everything (e.g. videos, phone, music, etc.) stored on your phone then you will need more than 16 GB. Jeff.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA
if you can adapt i would say yes.
ik was used to have a 16gb sd card as additional storage, phone itself had also 16 gb of storage. so now i have only a half of the storage i was used too. but i started to use cloud services to store pictures and video's. now i still have some personal pictures on my phone and some music.
right now i have about 6 or 7 gb of storage left.
so if you are going to use a cloud service i would definately say yes..
I have 8 and I don't care.

Your only problem is if you install multiple large game files. For instance, I currently have gta Vice City, gta San Andreas, and dungeon hunter 4 installed and they combine over 5 GB.
My solutions. Once a week I transfer pics & video to the PC, I never install apps I don't need, I stream music from google when I'm on wi-fi, and I usually keep a movie and a few full albums in storage.
You'll have to shift things around but it's very doable. Good luck.
Used to have 16gig internal + 32gig external on my Note II, and i never filled up that space.
I have the 16gig model and i didn't fill it up either. 3 gigs of music, 3 gigs of apps, 1 gig of pics. NOT using Cloud because i have no data plan (lol, 2014)
12.92gb is what you really have, you can fill 12.92gb of your things but then you need the space for pictures and cwm backup, I always try to keep 1.5gb free for videos and pictures on the fly and then 900mb is for my cwm backup. 600mb for android/data and 400mb for images thumbnails which leaves me 9.5gb for my things.
Most of you have a cloud, I have a home server for music,images,videos etc, so I don't have any bandwidth for services once I leave my wifi and I need the battery to make it throughout the day.
Its enough if you manage your files keep what you need on there, 100hours of music is enough
No!

If you are going to use more than 16gb it is not enough.
If you are going to use less than 16gb it is enough.
