is it possible to store game data on external flash and use it via otg on nexus 10 and be able to play hd games like asphalt 7?

I love my Nexus 7, even moreso for its USB OTG capabilities. The one burning question I have about USB OTG is whether it's possible to install game data onto a USB stick and point the games to the new directory. Right now many games install data to either /android/data/ or /android/Obb/. Would app2sd or similar applications allow that data to be installed on the USB stick instead, so that I can plug in the stick when I need the game data and live without it otherwise?
Can I put apps data on my flash drive using an OTG cable?
I installed a couple of Gameloft games and I only have 500mb left.
Nobody knows?
Hi everyone,
I was looking at both the Nexus 10 and the Samsung Note 10. I saw the specs for both and obviously the Nexus has better specs aside from the lack of SD card slot.
I was wonder from other users if they could clue me into short comings for a few of the things I would like to get this tablet for.
1. I have lot of tutorials videos that I would like to use to tablet to see. They come in various formats including wmv, mov, flv, and sometimes other formats. Will viewing tutorials on this tablet be a problem? One thing I am concerned about is how will I be able to store them on the tablet considering the storage is so small. I did some brief searching online and apparently I can get some wire and hook up an external thumb usb drive. I rip a lot of movie dvds for my home theater (Usually movies are around 2GB+ .mov).
2. Is tethering from lets say an HTC EVO (3G) ok for surfing the web when on the road?
3. If you don't have a working wifi connection, can you still use the tablet and google maps for directions? GPS should work without wifi no? Guess the question becomes can you download google maps before hand.
I would suggest getting the N10 and popcorn player for your videos that way you take notes while watching videos usig either freenote or any of the other good handwriting apps
the lack of SD card slot can be easily overcome by using an OTG cable and installing the Nexus Media Importer app. You can connect any USB flash drive or SD card reader to the OTG cable.
I would still suggest getting a 32GB version. You can't store games on a SD card.
Mine tethers fine with a Galaxy S2 wifi hotspot. No reason yours won't.
Not sure about the GPS thing.
Thanks for the feedback and info guys!
Good point on using popcorn player and having a note taking app open!
1. My N10 managed to play every video I threw at it using VLC player. Also you can connect not only USB drives and SD Card readers but also certain 2.5" or 1.8" hard drives. I use a WD MyPassport 500GB and it works as long as the tablet's battery is above about 75%.
2. Tethering works fine. WLAN or Bluetooth, whatever you prefer. Bluetooth tethering is fairly easy on the battery.
3. You can download Maps for offline viewing and GPS works offline as well. I saved my home city (Berlin) and some areas I often go to and it takes up about 150 MB.
HI guys,
I just wanna know, how can i connect my device to tv?
Is there wired connection? what about wireless connection?
What are the things i need?
For example, my tv is Samsung LED Series 5?
What are the things i can do after connecting:
- can i access my device as a storage device?
- can i play a movie to my device and have it displayed in my tv?
Thanks in advance
With the app Mediahouse (pro) you can stream movies from your tablet to you tv (netwerk).
you can choose to stream content to your tablet of from your tablet to your tv (if i'm correct)
New or old n7? This is easily found anywhere online. Old n7 can't mirror it's screen to the TV except with a mod for miracast (this mod is new). This mod doesn't work on 4.3 yet and requires supported hardware on the TV too.
What does work is dnla or upnp, which sends local media to the TV - movies, music, photos that are stored locally not streamed. Many apps support this and lots of hardware does too.
New n7, you can use slim port cable to mirror the screen

I have the old one, there is no something like adapter, converter, cable that can connect the device to the tv? i cant seem to find any on mr. google, and yeah i saw that the new nexus 7 is capable of that, thanks
Chromecast may solve your problem if you can get your hands on one.

Hello. I have the Google Nexus 4 with Android version 5.1.1. Will I be able to connect my ps3 conroller with the phone and play games with it? I have tried doing it with the OTG cable but the phone does not read it probably because it's not supported on the Nexus 4. Can someone help me please?
