[Q] SDXC Support - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if the Atrix supports SDXC? I know they don't officially support it but I have read online of people getting it to work on non-compatible phones before. And when I was reading the wiki article on SD format I came across this: "SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical". Does anyone know what interface version our Atrix's have or a way to find this out? I am always out of room since I have a lot of music I like to keep on my phone.

Bump.
I would like to know as well

Dang i didn't know they had micro sdxc already.Up to 2 tb already too! crazy...

So I take it no one has tried then?

Doesn't look like it... I think its still too new and too expensive for now...

I've read the of phones worked fine.
Evo4g galaxy g2, aswell as some of the newer phones ie galaxy s2 transformer, etc. Its a goood possibility it would work fine.

No hardware mods yet?

Anyone reckong we'll see some hardware mods? I thought there'd be some by now tbh. I'd like to see an [android] compatible 3G modem and a way to fit an internal 32GB micro sd card (should be doable with usb host and stealing a 5v feed from somewhere inside).
For the modem, there already is a thread about it, but it doesn't look good atm.
Video out would be sick... I'm definitely not a hardware guy ... yet
No idea if it's even possible though

[Q] File Transferring, microSD Format, and HDMI Questions Concerning the Galaxy S3

1) So I am basically wondering if it's possible to transfer files between the Galaxy S3 and PS3. I would prefer to do this by simply plugging a cord into the S3 and PS3 like I did for my Droid X. I know the S3 doesn't have Mass Storage like my DX did, so I am not sure if it is still possible.
2) Also, I have a 64GB microSD card formatted in fat32 that I used in my DX. I would rather not have to reformat the card. Will fat32 work in the S3? I don't really anticipate having a file over 4GB. So other than that, are there any other big advantages of using exFAT over fat32?
3) I know I need a new HDMI adapter for the S3 because of the different pin connection. However, I have heard that it's not possible to use a 720p TV with the S3, even with this new adapter. My good 1080 TVs are in the basement and living room. I have a basic 720p TV in my bedroom. That's the TV I would want to use the HDMI mirroring on the most. Is that just not a possibility with this phone?
I searched quite a bit trying to find answers to these questions. I never got any solid answers.
Thanks!
Some Answers
In case anyone was wondering, I have been told the following:
1) There's not an easy, direct way to transfer files to/from the PS3.
2) It doesn't really matter what format the card is in.
3) I can't use HDMI mirroring on a 720p television.

Hey did you ever figure it out? I have been wondering the same thing. I have files on my Galaxy s3 that I would like to transfer with a cable and not through WiFi.. It was so easy to do with my HTC EVO 4G to just connect and transfer. Please let me know thanks

I essentially gave up. I just burn a disc on my computer or save the files to a flash drive and use those instead. Or, I connect my MHL cord to my TV and just watch use HDMI mirroring to watch the files.
I think that's the only way to do it. I doubt that's the answer you wanted to hear, but that's the best I can do, haha.
Incidentally, I did get my MHL cable to work on 720p TVs.

[Q] How to make my S3 work with my Head unit

Hello there!
I'm trying to make my S3 interact with my Pioneer Avic-F700BT. It's an older HU (2009), and does not support BT streaming. It appears unable to read the S3 via USB due to lack of UMS on the S3. It worked flawlessly on my iPhone 4, but that doesn't matter at this point.
Right now, I'm investigating the use of the Infuse 4G mount + line out into the deck, but I'm looking to see if anyone is aware of any alternatives. I have not rooted the phone yet out of fear and inexperience.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to control the phone from the HU, but it's not a must. Another alternative is to just go and buy an ipod touch and leave it in my car, but it's a much more expensive option.
Truthfully, I have the i747 (Canada), but I couldn't find a different subforum for it, so I hope that I'll be accepted and loved here.
Thanks!

Mini PCI-E storage

Hi,
I've just acquired a 16GB WiFi only TPT, and my first thought was I'd stick a 3G modem in it, but I understand from the model number that its lacking the various antenna connectors to make this possible.
I'd still like to put the slot to use though. I've been looking at storage options, and I've seen a few different devices. One was an SSD (I gather that if anything was going to work it would ahve to be PATA, not mSATA, which is the same physical connector).
I've found various examples on eBay (sorry, can't post links, but a search for " ebay mini pcie PATA SSD " will give you a clue.
Another option I'd considered was a SD-card adapter, (again, can't link to it, but " ebay mini pcie sd card " should get you there).
There are 2 possible issues
1) physical space, I don't know what thickness of the 3g modules are, and whether either of the above would fit
2) drivers - although the SSDs in particular, should be pretty plain vanilla devices, whether there is support in the kernel for them remains to be seen.
Has anyone tried / considered something like this? Plan B is hunt around for a 3rd party 3G antenna set, but I haven't investigated this yet.
cheers,
Hugh

I think the first one wount be an issue. the second should not be an issue, because most of these drivers should be in android. but i cant promise!
in any case you could create your own kernel with the driver inside.
i would give it a try, as long as its not too expensive.

confused over Beelink MINI MXIII II

I feel a bit dumb asking this question, but is there any difference between a Beelink MINI MXIII and one described as Beelink MINI MXIII II ?
from what I have seen they are identical, so why the mark 2 designation?
Beelink have a 'mkii' here: http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_443335.html?wid=3
ebay appear to have the same device here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beelink-M...690254?hash=item419f9c3ace:g:HVkAAOSw-0xYW4~P
I have the "II" and it's been pretty great so far. There is some sort of difference, but I can't tell you what. But I can tell you that I tried running libreelec on it, (one of the Kodi forum members bakes his own), and on my II, bluetooth and wifi did not work, (but apparently did work on the original). I am not sure but I think the II had 2GB of ram, too.
FWIW, I have seen a lot of posts about people having problems with the "II" but I can tell you I've had nothing but a great experience with it. But then again, I've modded it slightly, tweaked it here and there, etc. I also bought mine from Gearbest, so if you have any questions, let me know.

I have ordered one from Gearbest EU Warehouse after all as the logos shown on the ebay photos do not show the 'II'.
I hadn't heard about any wifi problems and have not had any with my previous Beelinks but I use Ethernet any way.
BTW, I had never heard of libreelec and have just googled it - it sounds good but perhaps not for me.
I like full Android on my boxes because I use other apps such as Modbro and IPTV for my sports - I gave up on sports via Kodi ages ago.
You got it. I decided to stick with Android on it, too. The main reason is exactly what you mentioned. In fact, I side loaded Amazon Prime Videos tonight and that's ultimately what brought me to this forum.
It's not obvious but it will come rooted. I installed superSU, an SSH server, a different launcher, BusyBox, and a VPN client so I can get international content.
On my home LAN is use OpenDNS to block ads and adult content, (I have kids) but it also blocks some of the streaming providers. But I use extra Dnsmasq options to specifically have the Beelink box use Google's DNS servers. Granted this is an advanced topic but it works great.
Edit: I also use a Logitech K400 Plus keyboard. It is so much better than little remote it comes with. The routinely go on sale for about $19 US on Amazon. I've also tried some of the mini wireless keyboards. They work well, too.
