Good idea. You can try to move apps and datas to ext. drive with App2SD.
(Jó ötlet. Meg kellene próbálni, App2SD-vel rátolni a pendrive-ra. Ha van lehetőséged megpróbálhatnád.)
Can anyone tell me whether i can directly record the 720p videos on external flash drives using otg instead of recording on 4 gb internal memory on xperia u? and can i move/install the downloaded apps directly on the external flash drive using otg?

No OTG wont work for installation of games or apps even if you use Apps 2 sd and there is no selection on where to record video the default is SDcard.

Found this really good app that will allow you to change the folder your camera will save files to and i tested with otg and flashdisk and it works very well the light version only allows you one folder change but that ok because pics and videos go to the same folder.
You can find the app on appstore it is quite simple to use the app is called 'URSafe Media Redirector'
if you like this hit thanks

could someone help me I don't know what it is?
I had the same problem. I narrowed it down to the file size. Is the file more than 2GB? When copying two MKVs the difference between the two was that one was 2.2GB and the other, the one that worked, was 1.41GB.
Yes it is 8gb^^ full hd bluray rip I just read that it has a limitation for 4gb only? is that true? if yes is there a way I can change that?
Can't confirm a file size limit. Transfered an 8.73gb 1080p mkv file to my prime and it is a) on the primes internal storage and b) it plays flawlessly with dice player
Transfered mine using the usb cable and my pc is running win7 x64 professional.
thanks I tried it with a zip and that works 16gb but MKV doesn't work and I don't know why
what os are you using? are you transfering the files via usb or wifi? maybe someone with the same system specs as you can help you out

How did you try to transfer it and what did the error msg say?
Format your SD cards/USB sticks to exFat or NTFS, that should do the trick.
The problem is the partition table, Anything upto FAT32 cant go larger then 2gb I think.
I have the Asus eee Pad transformer Prime 64gb verion and windows 7 64bit.
Im triing to put the movie on the internal storage, I don't have a other sd card.
And I'm triing to load it over the Usb Cable
And the error is that it says well I have to translate it, it says that windows-explorer doesn't work anymore and needs to restart
Its a windows 7 thing. I've had the same problem trying to transfer large mkvs to my home server. Some things to try:
in windows explorer, go to tools, folder options, view tab, first checkbox says "Always show icons, never thumbnails", check it
some have had success changing the file extension to jpg...
others have had to uninstall divx

Using USB you only have the option to save it to the SD card. This would mean you would need to format as NTFS to not run into the FAT32 file limit.
I would transfer this via wifi if you can save it to your internal storage; however, if you plan on doing this a lot you should save yourself the trouble and just properly format the SD CARD to NTFS.

You can transfer files to the Internal Storage using USB. It would very very stupid if you can't.

Yes, but way more no. You are right, that it says sdcard on the prime. But that is just a case of really bad naming. When you go to the stock file manager on the prime you'll see that it distinguishes between "sdcard" and "removable" on the highest folder level. If you however access the "sdcard" folder you get to the internal storage.
As far as transfer speed goes nothing can beat the usb connection in my experience. My wifi (n standard) isn't even close to being as fast as the usb connection.
Hi all !!
As i know, Xperia S has a build-in memory. I had unlock bootloader and install the ka room. In this room has a SD card mount feature.
Using this app to connect my phone to PC, my PC will recognize my phone as a USB.
The problem is i can not copy any file more than 4GB to my phone. Because of the partition is as FAT32, not NTFS.
So how can i copy a large file (more than 4GB) to my phone ????
You'll have to reformat the partition or split the file.
It's a known limitation of FAT32.
Why do you need a thread for this?
You can try format to NTFS, but your device can become buggy
Use a external hdd that is formatted in ntfs! With a usb otg (on the go) adapter ofc...

err.. i dont think the phone cant read ntfs (YET )
i've to make two partitions in my 16 gB UFD, so the phone can recognize it. i think the ability to read ntfs partition is done in the kernel, and none of the kernel for SXS done this (YET )
so: use hjsplit (or any archiver) if it's only for storage... or re-encode it if it's a video player.
Anyone come up with a solution yet for USB mass storage mode to access the external card?
I recently bought a 64gb microsd card and the SGS3 has no option for mass storage mode to access it. Trying to load lots of music files. Very frustrating
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
You're not able to open windows explorer to drag and drop you music to the SD card? When you click on your phone in windows explorer, it should open up another page to choose between your internal and external storage.
If you mean when connected to a PC, select camera mode when connected, in case the drive isnr compatible with mtp. You should be set then.
I can drag and drop. I was trying to use Double Twist program on my laptop to sync music so I have my itunes playlist intact. For whatever reason Double Twist doesn't recognize MTP or PTP connections on the sgs3.
I've run into a couple other situations with apps that don't recognize the external memory card. I think Quick Office Pro was another app I had trouble with as well.
I really miss the AOSP USB mass storage mode
Yes, not having UMS really sucks. I constantly have to switch between camera or media mode in order to transfer files. I'm 100% a custom ROM would fix this, but it should've been there out of the box. I wonder why samsung removed it.
Can't find Externel SD Card on my PHOne
I installed a 32GB external SD Card on my phone - when I plug in my computer I can see it just fine - I see T999 and Card as, connected to my computer via USB - this looked really different from how I have seen the external SD Card presented on other phones???
Plus - when I open ROOT Explorer or ES File Explorer to try to manage files on the Ext SD Card - I can't seem to find it anywhere - I can see the "SD Card" - which is the internal SD Card that comes with the phone- I have music files I have already put on that along with a ROM and Kernel Zip File that I flashed recently - and which I added prior to getting the 32GB external SD Card.
FYI - On my phone, When I go to 'Settings" Storage - I can see there is an SD Card with 29.71GB of available space (I don't have any files on it yet) - So I know the phone can recognize it - I just can't find it using any of the file explorers - is there some setting I have neglected to turn on ?
when I installed an SD card on my wifes EVO LTE I see both internal and external SD Cards - with names like SD Card - EXT SD Card -and or SDCard2 all depending on what program I was using to locate them -
on my new GALAXY SIII, right now I only see SDCard and can;t locate th external SD Card - any suggestions? (I feel like a real noob)

Yeah I gave up using DoubleTwist because of the outdated/slow support like what you are having and how it doesnt work well with mp3s over 10 mb. I switched to Syncr to use iTunes as my playlist manager and it works perfect. Syncr had support for the S3 almost the next day.

have you downloaded the latest samsung drivers? also if you connect the phon to your laptop, shouldnt thepull-down notification now ask if you want to use mass storage?

Mass Storage mode has been removed. Samsung now uses multimedia transfer or camera transfer (or something close to that). Mass storage is no longer an option in the drop down menu.

Awesome - thanks - I feel like such a noob - and I should have been able to figure that out - it was just so different than other I had seen. By the do you know if CWM will recognize the External SD Card? (on my wife's EVO LTE I could choose which of the two SD Cards I wanted to flash with - is there any wayt to that with CWM and or does TWRP work with this phone?
Thanks for the help - it is appreciated

Never heard of that program but it sounds like something I'll try out. I always used Double Twist in the past just because it imported iTunes playlist flawlessly. Sammy unfortunately takes away the AOSP mass storage mode. Sucks! :crying:

Is it "iSyncr" perhaps??? I tried a google search of just "syncr" and I'm having trouble finding it.
man that sucks... Looks like we have to wait for a port for a mod on the I9300 forums.
found this thread in the i9300 forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
Unfortunately it only works for the international version (already tried it). I would hope that something like this could be created/ported for the US variants. I'd do it myself, but this kind of stuff is way over my head
Maybe one of our great devs could make this happen???

yes, you can use CWM (ROM Manager) to flash ROMs on the external card (although I prefer booting into Recovery and flashing the zip files manually).
Root Explorer Problem
I am having a similar problem. My phone recognizes my external SD card (64 GB Sandisk Ultra).
I can transfer files from my computer to my ExtSD via usb.
When I go in to my my files on my phone it shows ExtSD Card and SD Card, but root explorer, ES file, and Astro will not show ExtSD.
I have been looking all over for a solution but have yet to find one.
I finally realized what going to mnt/extsdCard meant. Feel pretty dumb.
In case people haven't seen, there is now a way to mount the external card in mass storage mode for US/LTE variants of the SG3:

thats not the case. It depends on power consumption.. ive been using 8gb pendrives for my XU without problems its just the matter of which brand usb drive ur using try with some other company. Ive tested : Sandisk Cruze 8GB, Strontium Bold 8GB
I am using a 16gb flash drive working fine on my otg cable on Note 3. In order for it to work I formatted it to use FAT32 instead of NTFS. Seems android doesnt like NTFS.
Just keep in mind the limitations of FAT32 you wont be able to copy a single file larger that 4gb or maybe even 2gb onto the drive.
wait up.... there is nothing with the GB's of the pendrive u try with a low power device (all model SanDisk pendrives have no issues with otg and recently Strontium has launched OTG special versions that are fast as well as consume less power)
Mostly the devices with a flashing LED's will not work as they consume more power than the others... but there is little hack to make it work but u need ROOT and Terminal emulator .
Can u Tell more about this hack?

plug in the device into the otg cable and then the cable into the phone.
wait till the power consumption error message is displayed.
using a root explorer(e.g. es file explorer) go to the folder 'root>sys>bus>usb>devices>1-1'
open the file 'bConfigurationValue' with a text editor(es text editor in my case). It should be blank. Edit and put the value 1 and save the file.
Your device will now be mounted and the message will be displayed in the statusbar.
try this
but by the way if the pendrive is shown empty then format it to fat32 format and it'll work fine

Did you find a solution?
Other than using a phone with an os that permitted this such as I think Kit Kat - no I didnt. I did discover a useful little trick though you might find interesting. There is a apk called UMS enabler (I think it is from an XDA developer - it is not on Google playstore) that allows (with a rooted phone) to plug in the phone and mount a micro sd card as a drive on your computer. With this you can do interesting things such as make playlists with media player classic or maybe vlc save the playlists to a folder on the micro sd card, and an android media player called Rocket will access them perfectly. Much faster than making playlists on your phone. I have lots of audiobooks, lectures from youtube in addition to music. Rocket player has its own database organizer. I had not found any other players at the time that would do this. I tried them all. I think some may now allow this, but after android 10 the android file database organizer would not permit this. I had given up on finding a way to mount a usb stick to download directly to - if I find it I will let you know. Cheers
