FYI: The sd card reader, meenova works - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just thought I would let everyone know that the little meenova card reader works just fine on an LG G2, root not required. I took a chance and it works perfect. Mounts automatically in /storage/USBstorage . I can play full hd mkv's just fine from it.

There is already a thread for this in the accessories section.

Video problems.

Anyone experiencing audio sync problems when playing back video. I just purchased my tab and it's driving me crazy. Please let me know if anything has been resolved.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
Only syncing issue I've had was due to storing videos on external sd card that was only class 2, fine since storing internally or using a class 4 card.
Never had any problems with any of my videos. And I've tried a lot of different codecs and formats. hope it works out for you, as it's a great videoplayer for on the go use.

Hard Drive

I thought I can connect a external hard drive, sales rep told me I can but so far works with thumb drive. I'm not rooted yet, just got it last night. Is it possible.

You can plug in any drive but you'll need a special program if the drive uses a NTFS filesystem (USB mount all, Drive mount,...).

You must check the filesystem you are using. By default, ie. without any additional apps or such, A500 supports only FAT - or FAT32 - formatted drives. Either format your drive to FAT32 on Windows or install the NTFS - app the above poster mentioned. After that it works just peachy, I've got several drives I use and haven't met a single hitch yet.
Thanks guys, I'm using ntfs drives and wouldn't like to change it to fat. I'm having a hard time locating those app on the market, are those paid apps, one refers to mount sd card, I need a little help here please.

Just remember you need to be rooted for a ntfs drive mount program to work
Yup. As the above poster said: "No root no dice."
Feedback, I got all that, thanks guys.
Now half of my dvix movies don't play the audio do I need to install some kind of codec, using mxplayer, mplayer, realplayer, etc all doing the same.

Do they have audio in AC3 format? Lots of people -- ie. most people -- can't get audio when it's AC3, I don't know if it's a limitation of Tegra2 or what. If you have AC3 audio in your files then your only reliable option seems to be transcoding the files.
I personally have never even tried, there's no point in having multi-channel audio when I'm only using stereo headphones to listen to it.
Try mobo player; its located on the market. I've found it to play any of my vid formats.

+1 on that. It even plays all my movies over the network when used in conjunction with UPnPlayer or whatever it is

I did some checking, no support for exfat either. So fat32 it is.
If anyone has a spare laptop hdd or old laptop lying around, take the hdd, put it in an enclosure and use easeus partition manager to format the whole thing to fat 32 regardless of capacity over 40 gbs and velcro that to your Iconia and u will have all the storage ud need. Just keep your files under 4 gbs.

It'll take some time, kernel needs some love still.
He's got it. Something with the video decoding....
Now if you go get mv player from the market you can play videos from your SD card pretty smoothly. An app like droidtv will let you watch TV from your SD card. Hope this helps!

nope wont work i had to go back to mikgeezie cuz i always use netflix. once thats fixed i will be using ics on the daily...
havent tried it personally but ive heard it doesnt work all that great on JTG either. You tube plays hd content well but not sd content on latest release ( dont ask me why how or what cuz i dont know just know from personal experience and it sure raised my eyebrows ) so maybe give it shot there

[Q] is there any way for me to hook up an external HDD?

i will be relying on my N7 for entertainment for a while and i have a 2tb i would like to hook up to it if possible.

If your 2tb hdd has external power it works if you use an OTG USB cable.
I have hooked it up to one of my 1.x tb hdds with external power by OTG USB and it worked like a charm
does it require root access??

Good question. I would like to know also. And yes it has external power. Just a normal WD external.
I've just ordered a Samsung 500GB HDD and OTG cable so good to know (everyone should root their Nexus you can do so much more)

Not for read-only access (search play store for 'nexus media importer'), however if you root it, you can hook up the HDD, run media rescan (paid version of stickmount has that), and videos will show up in MX player, music in Music player and pics in Gallery.
Root is awesome.
If youre going to watch bluray rips or with audio codec DTS then i recommend you use DICE PLAYER and find a modified plugin file. its somewhere on XDA cannot remember for the life of me where it is...
its the only player that will play DTS and HD videos smoothly. MX has sync issues and other players dont support it.
Rooting is so confusing on this thing. Not like my RAZR MAXX.

I use the Nexus Media Importer with a WD My Passport 500GB Hard Drive and I've had no troubles with it.

It's not really, it's the unlocking downloader that erases your data, but besides that you can root it with two clicks using one of the available tools found on this forum

[Q] FPse and External Drives

I am using FPse on my Nexus 10. I have found it difficult to search for this issue but I would like to have a giant library of games stored on my tablet but since there is a lack of SD card support I find that 16GB is a little difficult to work with when some of the games take up roughly 2GB or so.
Anyway, my question is I have an OTG cable and a flashdrive that all works fine with the N10 but I cant seem to figure out how to store the psone games on the flash drive and load them up using FPse. I have nexus media loader, stock rom, not rooted or anything. I just want to be able to store them on an external device and not locally since they take up too much room.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You could create a symlink I guess, but you'd have to root.
