I recently got the HTC One X and am toying around with the NFC reader. As far as I've seen there is no app that can turn your phone into an external NFC reader for a PC. Is there any that someone knows of?
Hey! Im also interested in NFC nexus 7 drivers for linux. Someone know how to use nexus nfc on pc/linux?

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.

Do I have to root my Nexus 10 in order to read from a USB drive I've hooked up to my Nexus 10 using the mini-USB slot?
I'm using a conversion dongle, a AC Adapter powered hub, and have tried a thumb drive and a WD passport. I've confirmed that all devices work with a PC as well as with my Samsung GSIII (which is running CM10.1).
Is there a setting I need to enable or is this just something I need to root the device in order to get it to work?

Hi!
You either need Nexus Media Importer (as already stated) or root your device and use stick mount (or something similar) or flash a custom rom which natively supports OTG like any ASOP/AOKP or CM10.1 ROM...
anyone knows if this hardware really exists??

I dunno if the device itself exists (I think no) but you can use any USB OTG card reader (as the device of 2nd video), any of them should work.
hey,
Im searching for an 10" android tablet for use in a car as a onboard computer.
It should have an extra Power plugin so that i can load the battery while using usb devices such as a controller etc.
Also i need GPS and bluetooth and an sdcard slot and it should be easy to root it, because im not that big pro.
I live in germany and want to waist like 300€ for it.
I hope someone can help me.
So I bought a meenova, and I bought a 64GB SDXC card.
Confirmed both these accessories work by plugging it into a HTC One(M7) and it was glorious. My HTC however, only likes exFat it seems. Freezes when I plug in a FAT32 formatted device.
Plugging the Meenova into my Nexus 9 though doesn't work. I understand it's because the device does not automount the partition, but the usual "Nexus Media Importer" app doesn't work because it doesn't support exFAT.
Has anyone had any luck with ES File Explorer not rooting? It says it has OTG support but doesn't actually read anything I try to plug in. OTG Helper Lite FC's on me. I'm tempted at this point to just root the device and get stickmount up, but then I would miss out on all the OTA's and not be able to keep myself away from obsessively flashing custom rom's. Has anyone else had any luck using OTG devices? exFAT in particular. Meenova or other microSD readers?
