Now We know our HD2 can boot Android,Meego,ubuntu,Windows Mobile 6.5,Windows Phone 7,Windows 95,Windows 98,heres something else we might be able to add to that list,Windows 7 ,You might need an 32gb SD card to do it,and you would probably need to partition it but here it is,on youtube,Then again it could just be remote desk top

The Possibilitys of this device,Really are Endles
Cmon dude seriously? Are you telling me you didnt know that this was obviously only remote desktop??
Also why on earth do you think he disabled comments?
PS. The "Getting Stupid Now" part of your title was obviously referring to yourself then?
Sorry dude, had to get that in
Looks shopped to me. I can tell because of some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time...
But seriously...the first video looks halfway real, but the second one(your link)...I dunno...seems WAY too fast to be real. And also, he's got what appears to be 3 different HDD's under My Computer, which could just be partitions, but he also appears to have 2 CD/DVD drives...again which could be virtual drives but still. On an HD2, what would the point of multiple partitions on an SD card be? With 32GB being the limit of MicroSD right now, I just don't see a reason to partition it. He also has comments disabled, which is usually because the video isn't real IMHO.
Not to try to disprove this or anything, all I'm saying is it took months to get XP to even BOOT on the HD2, much less actually be useable.
I agree with the bro above me...I think it's Remote Desktop.
...........fail!
Remote Desktop, for sure. If it was possible to run Windows 7 on HD2, XDA would've had a forum for it, obviously.
fact that he had 500gb of hard drive space didn't give it away?

Is there a file size limit on the Tab? I'm trying to copy a 7.97GB mkv movie file to the Tab. It gets to all but 15 seconds to complete, then a timeout occurs?
Thanks!
Same as usual, file size limit is 4GB.

Why the limit? Anyway to override it? How are we supposed to enjoy HD movies with such a low size limit?
How didyou get your comp to reogize the tablet? When i plugged mine in i didnt receive a prompt from the tablet to mount it.
I was very interested if this would be the case for the gtabs that came out today because my google io tab is not recognized when i plug it into my computer. I have to push everything via ADB. Anyone else have this happening?

Disable USB Debugging and that allowed me to connect it to my PC.
I thought Android internal memory is using ext4 file system, which should be more than 4gb file size limit, no?

I believe the internal memory formatted as ext4 is the system part. The internal memory reserved for the internal SD card is formatted as FAT32 hence the 4GB upper file limit size. I guess it needs to be FAT32 so that when you plugin the device to a PC, it can be read by most operating systems. If it was formatted as ext4 then this would not be the case.
Personally, I would have preferred if it was formatted as ext4. You could still copy from Windows using KiesAir as this just uses a browser interface to copy files.
is it possible to run the following command from the shell?: df -hT

Hmm i tried disabling it while the device was already connected and that didn't seem to work. Ill try again when I get home. You cant change usb settings while its not connected to anything can you?

That is why I bought the Playbook. It has NTFS storage and I have several 6-8 GB h.264 high profile HD movies in my 64 GB Playbook.
I have the Xoom and I will never buy another Tegra 2 (even if I sold my Xoom) no matter how good it looks or weigh because Tegra 2 cannot do high-profile h.254 movies. For those who like to watch movies, wait for Tegra 3.
Wow this blows!! Can we transfer via network?

How does that help in getting around the file size limitation of FAT32? Whether you use USB or wifi, it doesn't change the fact that FAT32 has a file size limitation.
Just use a program to split it. It's a hassle, I know.
Are you guys shore that its a limit with 4GB? If this true its sucks big time because i have order one that will replace my Xoom.
Why would it have the limit with 4GB when Xoom and other honeycomb tablets dont have the limit .
I have no problem to transferring files bigger then 4gb to my Xoom,
Know that android 2.2-2.3 have the limit but HC does not.

The Xoom might use a dif file system?

Got my Tab now. And it was, unfortunately, as mentioned earlier that it does not fix files larger than 4GB. The transfer gets stuck on 5-15 sec left
Iam really angry, how the hell can Samsung sell Media Tab and it does not fix +4gb files, this sucks. can not play most movies because Tegra 2, or cant store large files.
What a miss to buy Tab today, better wait for Tegra 3
Will be difficult now, if i are going to keep my Xoom that can handle large files or not
it is ext4 as supercurio had explained in another thread. it's why we have to mount using MTP instead of as an external drive. so why there's a limit is puzzling. could be in the samsung drivers.

In a nutshell - it's not supported but is doable.
Check out the xda thread located here - http://tinyurl.com/3as3xpu
Looks like a copy of XNJB might work, I however do not own any Apple hardware so cannot give it a shot myself. Might be worth a try! http://tinyurl.com/yaqhp5
Also, just to keep the mood light - this is the best Apple compatibility chart ever: http://tinyurl.com/3t79s4j
also forgot to mention
If you like, you can always use a flash USB stick to move files between your Mac and Iconia, or a USB hdd.
Try the free app on the Market, software data cable.
It sets up the Iconia as a FTP server that you can connect to with any FTP client ( Cyberduck works well on Mac, FireFTP plugin for Firefox etc). Works wirelessly, with any computer on same subnet, regardless of OS.
You only get access to the added SD card if the Iconia is rooted, and the app settings have root access checked. Look under /mnt/external_SD.
I believe the problem might possible go away with 3.2, but it has not arrived here yet to know.

Hi,
I've connected my 2TB HDD through a powered usb hub to my Nexus Player and I am able to access the files. However, I've tried to set my video library by setting a path in my HDD, but the problem is that I don't see my HDD in the list displayed in Kodi.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards.

When you are adding a path to your videos (assuming you have used Stickmount to mount the HDD), first click on Videos, then Files. Then Click Add Videos, Browse. Then go to External Storage. Your mounted HDD should be listed at the end of the list.

Thanks for the reply. Well, I didn't use stickmount. Because I could access my HDD from ES File Explorer without it. Shall I root and use that app?
As far as I know, you can only fully access an external HDD after you root. I'd refer to the Development subforum for guides to do that.

Thanks, will try that.
I used Stickmount and it worked. Thanks again @kaestnerkyle .
It seems you've solved your problem, but here's some more info for future reference.
I didn't want to have a HDD plugged into each device directly. So, my movies are on a 3TB HDD that's plugged directly into my router via USB. The Nexus Player reads this just fine, as do other devices. We've had it (the router) streaming 3 HD movies at a time to various devices (though bitrates vary, and these were lower bitrate encodes).
It also doesn't require root or secondary apps to help read the media.
Has anyone managed to connect multiple hard drives? I've tried to do this because I have my movie library on multiple drives and it only ever sees the first Drive that gets plugged in. Am I doing something wrong? Will stickmount accomplish this and if so, how do I do it? I had stickmount installed before and didn't get what I desired.

I have a slow one. I have an older 3TB Seagate, connected via USB 2.0 (yes, two point zero), to a router known for slow read times. At best, it seems to read and transfer 48mbit (6MByte)/sec over the network. Under ideal situations, that's 1 Blu-Ray rip (no re-encode), or 3-5 1080p Handbrake encodes streaming throughout the house. We've done 3 to different devices simultaneously with no issues.
You won't need a fast hard drive. Your router will be the main limitation for read speeds. Go over to small net builder and compare their routers, especially by HDD read speed.

I have no recommendation. I just wanted to know your hardware so that I can help you configure it.
That said, first, I need you to access your router's settings. To do that, open your web browser and in the URL box, type "192.168.1.1" without the quote marks, then hit enter. You should get a popup asking for a username and password. If you didn't change these, they will be (by default):
username: admin
password: password
That said, you should get a page with two tabs that are labeled "BASIC" and "ADVANCED." Click on advanced.
From there, on the left side, click "USB Functions." After that, click "Ready SHARE Storage."
This will bring up your storage management screen, displaying whatever you have connected via USB. You should see a Network/Device name, and a Workgroup name. Assign something or leave them as default (don't tell me what they are). Under "Available Network Folders" at the bottom you should see something that says \\XXX\USB_Storage, where XXX = your Network/Device name. This should display total and free storage, and there should be a grayed out radio button to the left.
If all of this is correct, then your storage is working properly. If it's not, we'll need to mess with it. So, report back and let me know where you stand on this.

Good! I also found this guide:
http://blog.en.uptodown.com/hard-drive-local-network/
I'm going to buy a new router and I was asking myself if I need a router with usb port or save some money and buy one cheaper without any port ...
and I now discovered I can use the usb to share a full HDD ... and reproduce all of my media files from multiple devices!
This is great.
Can you confirm I can access contents through Kodi or some Music Player directly? How is the shared HDD seen from the Android devices? I mean: I need some configuration (maybe with ES File Explorer) or any app that has explorer capabilities can see it directly??
Last question: can I also write files on the HDD (with my computer) while other devices are streaming/reading contents from it??
thanks!
Just to mention, you do not need root to access an external drive. ES File Explorer finds the connected HDD without any problems what so ever. Browse to your video and choose which app to play in. So far I've been able to play videos in MX Player and KODI from ES. But the mentioned players can't find the HDD, don't know why ES can.
Is it possible to Clone a External Hard Drive that has been configured for "Internal Storage"? I would like to replace the External HD with a SSD, but I don't want to loose what I have on the HD, if possible.
