Anyone else having "insufficient space" problem when using the built in Wireless Storage function? I have at least 6gb of internal space as well as 45gb of available space on my external microSD but unable to transfer any file to my G2 using Wireless Storage. Transferring FROM the G2 onto my PC posed no problems.
My device: F320L, rooted
Help! I much prefer the built in function rather than going through 3rd party app like Airdroid.

When receiving files via bluetooth, if my internal storage memory is low the file will not save which is quite annoying is there any possible way to set the bluetooth to receive files and save them to my storage card instead of internal storage.
thanks.
Is there a way to add external memory to the nexus7 with USB? For example external HD.

To clarify, you are asking to add external storage memory, not random-access memory.
yes, you can easily attach an external USB Mass Storage device using a USB-OTG adapter. You will need root access to "mount" the filesystem.
This is the cable I have. It works with my Galaxy Nexus as well: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...e=UTF8&qid=1343663346&sr=8-1&keywords=USB+OTG
This is the app that makes it SUPER simple to mount/unmount USB devices. It requires root access: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount&hl=en
That is the exact answer that I was looking for.
another option other than rooting and using OTB adaptors
you can also access WiFi storage devices, like the Seagate Goflex wifi storage, which has 500gb of storage
you can also get the Kingstone Wi-Drive, which comes in 16-64gb in size
these you can access with multiple devices at the same time, fast enough to stream movies, and no root needed.
You could also use external memory as swap, which is effectively a low-speed RAM. Not recommended though.
Can you run games or apps with otg stickmount???

I'm just trying to get a feel for how Samsung treats storage on their devices.
Do they consider the internal storage as both internal and SD Card storage on the device? So that \sdcard\ points to internal storage? Which would treat any inserted MicroSD like secondary storage that some programs might not use?
Or do they consider internal storage as only internal and \sdcard\ would only point to an inserted MicroSD?

They have internal SD (built in storage) and external SD.
External SD is not touched unless you indicate for it to be used specifically.
I like that Samsung continues to offer devices with a removable battery and MicroSD. This is a major factor for me.
I just wish the MicroSD could somehow be integrated with their internal storage. Since many apps may not be able to see the MicroSD. The apps would consider the internal storage to be SD space.

thats not a good idea, what if you had to remove the external sd card?

I'm using Data2SD with my Asus Transformer Infinity right now to have a 64GB data space (via SD card) and the internal 32GB as extra storage. I have not had to remove the card yet . And really even Data2Sd won't let me use the internal space on the device installing programs, just extra storage. But still its a good step.
Removing the card is not a concern, since I basically don't. If the card goes bad, rebuild things with a new card.
It would be great if the SGS4 gets a MOD like Data2SD. Then anyone who buys a 16GB version could get a 64GB MicroSD and turn it into a 64GB SGS4 . Same way we've turned our 32GB Asus Infinities into 64GB models, and our storage is even faster than the stock Asus internal storage :laugh: .
Oh, it's a good idea, it's soooo good .
I have a couple questions too if someone can please help:
1) What happens when you mount the device via USB. Can you mount either storage (internal or external sd)?
2) Can you easily place game files like GTA Vice City, music files, or Titanium/nandroid backups on the external?
Thanks!

1) they show up as separate drives
2) yes to. Everything except game files as the game would think you don't have the files and try to redownload them
it is really sad that this phone has no
usb mass storage (UMS)...
feels like a step backwards to me,
and i like the xperia solution of having
an internal storage, plus an "internal sd card",
plus the actual (external) sdcard.
this made UMS possible and easy,
and this is what LG should have done.
it is ok, that LG ditched the external sd card,
but killing UMS makes my life much harder.
all the wifi based solutions (like using an
ftp server, or the built in "wireless storage",
which is samba based, meh) need a router
and often being often on the road i need
to access the files "offline".
being on bsd, i cannot use PTP, MTP or the
LG provided software, any other methods
of getting/putting files without using wifi,
not needing a router?
ps. my notebook does not have bluetooth either...
I don't have a link for you, but San Disk Connect wireless storage might be the best option. IIRC the 16 GB is $49 (USD) on Amazon. Uses micro SD cards. They have other versions too.

Hey guys,
I know this topic has been discussed to death here. But the only methods I found were either complicated or odd. I was wondering how I could expand internal storage which is currently 500gb on my Pro to like 4tb. Replacing internal HDD requires tons of Dev work which I know nothing about and connecting a USB external storage to use as internal is kinda weird as there is risk of it getting unplugged and device crashing... Are those the only ways to do it or is there an updated way that I didn't see ?
Well you could add an sd card to it. The pro version has a reader.
The only other way is aside from the ones you mention is setting up a NAS but that would be an external connection....
SD Card is much slower. Plus I need 4tb and am sure that a card of that size doesn't exist yet. As for why, well I got 2.5tb of game ROMs for various emulators that I want to move over... So yeah... Adding external is my only option for now... I guess...
