Hey guys
Do any of you know if there is a camera connection kit available for the note 8.0 would really be a useful addition to it.
Only OTG cables, you can pretty much connect all sorts of storage media, with one. Whether plugging your camera into it, will work or not, is a case of try it and see.

Well it's more for taking my sd card put of my camera and pluging it in. Would it work with out rooting it?
No root needed, to take the card out and use it with your tab, you will need a USB card reader and the aforementioned OTG cable, that's it.

With so many great games out that are very large, what is the best way to keep storage? I just cycle through them and uninstall them when done. Pretty much play one large game at a time. Is there a better way/way to increase storage?
Thanks

I've been curious about this also. But havent been able to completely figure it out by reading on the internet. Could you explain?
Does this mean that with USB OTG and NExus 7 Media importer, you could for example:
Plug and 16 GB USB Memory stick into your nexus, and your nexus would then have 16GB extra storage? Or does USB OTG only view whats already on the USB, so you'd put music/videos onto the USB stick, then it shows you that but doesnt read the storage?
I hope this makes sense
Thanks !
I'm rooted using the OTG-usb and stickmount. I have added music, videos, and pictures to a connected thumbdrive or sdcard and they show up and play just fine using the Nexus apps.
Root and Stickmount seems most popular method (many threads on XDA), or you could try this app if not rooted.
Nexus media importer is the way to go if ur not rooted. Works perfectly no problems whatsoever.

It works the same way as it would on a pc it see's it as portable storage, but there is a way to move your games to the usb stick also.

There are several same memory sticks of high capacity that would fit nicely jsut under the nexus and provide much needed extra memory. wonder if such a thing is available or indeed possible?
You can use an OTG USB Adapter, device must mehr rooted, and use the tool"stick mount:
If device is unrooted You can use the "nexus Media importer" from market.

Yes thanks I understand that but a memory stick with an micro interface wouldn't need the cable. know they don't exist but wondered if any technical issue that would rule them out.
I think, there might be a problem to harm your connector port if the USB stick isn t quite small, a flexible cable is the better choice in my opinion...
But your idea is interresting..

I thought this was interesting too. Until I realised you'd need an adaptor to plug it into a computer. So no real benefit ...LOL

I bought a 64GB Kingston usb drive and use 'Nexus Media Importer", works great with HD films and music etc. It's a shame it can't be used as an SD card enabling installation of apps etc to it. Oh well, maybe in the future or I finally root my Nexus 7.
I'm rooted, stock rom, franco kernel. I downloaded stickmount. When I plug my usb stick in it mounts it, or claims to anyway but it actually mounted things in sdcard/usbstorage with names like /sd2, /sd3, /sd4 ... /sd12. None of these are my usb stick.
I tried another USB mounter in the playstore that mounts to /dev/block/sda and it said it worked, but the directory does not exist.
Have I wasted my money? Is USB mounting possible?
Go into your custom recovery and select "usb-otg" to see if it is being recognized properly.
The cable has to be a specific kind. You can't just buy any OTG cable. For the Nexus 7 to read OTG correctly, pins 4 'ID Pin' and 5 'ground' have to be shorted together. I suspect you bought a cable that is not compatible with the Nexus 7. I personally make my own so i don't waste the money on a 50% chance.

Also do you have "StickMount"? Thats the only working solution I find
I use USB otg helper. Works great.

any updates on this problem, guys? I have my (unrooted/unlocked) Nexus 7 which doesn't recognize any pendrives or HDD via OTG cable. the same OTG cable works with my friends Nexus 7, Xperia Z (both brand new) and another Xperia set.

Kernel/ROM combo?
I would suggest using the app Paragon, works well to mount NTFS file systems (stick mount only works with FAT32). Also, be sure you're using a good OTG cable. Here the best one I've found, on Amazon for $7.99.
Hope this helps!

Stick mount cab read from NTFS. It has issues with writing to and editing on NTFS.

I'm not rooted (completely stock) and I use Nexus Media Importer, I can only transfer from usb to nexus, but I only use it to watch videos and play music I have stored on my USB flash drive.

I got this:
http://www.amazon.ca/Micro-USB-OTG-2-0-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU
Is this the wrong one? When I plug my USB headphones into it, I don't hear anything in the headphones, BUT the volume rocker on the headphones seems to work. What do I do about USB mounting
It doesn't specify that it is for the N7, so chances are that it's not the correct one.

The reviews say it works for the N7.... any help?
It might be a bum cable... Or your usb port is borked...

my USB headphones worked with USB audio tester (I would like to know how to enable these headphones within the OS though...)
but nope, no love from OTG helper, it says it cannot find a usb drive.
And you've tried different usb drives? What format?

I have stock android, no stock rom or kernals, anything. Also I checked with my friend's Nexus 7, and virtually everything is same- stock andriod 4.2.2, 16GB, (now rooted), unlocked bootloader (unlock sign while powering up). I even reset both of them- still the same.

this is what i'm afraid of too - broken usb port in N7
Hi,
What are the main options of extending N4 storage space? I can't use any internet so it has to be local.
I saw some wifi flash drives and there's the battery pack + usb stick (only way for portable usb otg?)
Are there other alternatives to this?
Thanks

Could always look into those wifi portable hard drives. They charge a premium over a regular external hard drive, but it appears to be an easy method to expand your storage.

OTG is not supported for the nexus 4 but there is a kernel that does allow it. Otherwise, it would have to be a WiFi hard drive

What about that thing, Nexus Media Importer? Does it not work with the Nexus 4?
BTW, regular file transfer, USB to your computer and copy from computer interface works, right?

Nexus media importer works by using an otg cable so no it won't work. Regular file transfer works just fine with a pc
Cheaper than a portable wifi drive, just use an old android phone with no sim and a massive micro sd card - use Fast File Transfer to exchange files this way and that. Bingo!

Or if all your media is music just get a cheap Creative MP3 player that accepts memory cards.
I bought a 16gb for my vibrant($40) so it has enough space for all my media needs.

You can use OTG with the N4,you just need a special OTG Y cable, a custom kernel, and an exterior power source. You can find the thread in the Original Development section

Anyone who messes around with drones will know what I'm talking about. On other devices with micro-usb, I was able to use an OTG cable and use Cleanflight Flasher, Ez-GUI etc to mess with my Naze32 flight controller. I can't get any power to the FC using my Nexus, USB-C to micro adapter, to OTG. Anyone have any ideas?

I have this problem too.
OTG isn't supported I'm afraid. It's due to USB-type C connector not supporting it.

Well that really sucks. I mean, I still have my Nexus 7 tablet that I can use... But any time you get a new device and LOSE features you had previously, major bummer.
