Hey guys,
I did a search but didn't find a relevant thread to the One m7. The lack of SD card slot is a little concerning to me. As long as I can plug it in to my PC and it sees it as a "removable thumb drive" of sorts, I'll be fine without the SD card. Can anyone confirm this functionality? Or is it locked to crap like an iPhone?
Trying to decide between the One and S4. Not an easy decision by any means. I really like the One but I must be able to load custom ROMS and root/unlock bootloader.
Thanks

Almost all if not all Android phones will show up as a drive when you plug them into a computer. The HTC One is no exception. It shows up. It also has USB OTG support so if you get a proper cable you can plug flash drives into it.
Awesome, thanks. I've had my EVO 3D since it came out, and it's been a pretty good phone but I'm due for an upgrade!
So, does the One show an "internal" SD card of sorts, is it a different partition? Just wondering if the process will be the same when booting into recovery to flash ZIPs and what not.
I don't understand how people can cram more than 25GB onto a phone. -_-
Well, I like to be able to use my phone as a removable thumb drive, and I also have Bluetooth in my Jeep and love streaming music from my phone that way. It works great. I have a sizable music collection and also like to keep software installs and other things handy (I work in IT) So the 64GB model is looking pretty good right now if I can still do all these things the same way I did before.

It mounts as a single drive. In windows, it shows up as a Portable Device, HTC One, and it is just a drive. There is a separate partition for the HTC Sync Manager.
The first time I plugged it in, it needed to install the USB drivers. After installed, I had to reconnect it, and it mounted the drive.
Additionally, I did not have to change the USB settings, toggling between USB Drive, or charge, or sync. It just shows up. Somewhat different than what I'm used to on my Inspire, but works much smarter now.

We have very similar goals ... :highfive::highfive:
but want to have an un-secure partition for USB flash drive. I use this as a tablet so I need to have usb flash drive access.
Is there an app for that yet? Aside from doing all the grunt work of shelling into the root / moving directories by hand?
There must be a better way.

I know the Titan doesn't support USB Host mode, but I've heard there were alternatives like using CF Cards or something. Can anyone give me more details or point me in the direction of how to achieve this? Instead of buying a microSD card, I wouldn't mind just using one of my external HD to hold my stuff. It would be cool to read data off of flashdrives too.
I've never heard mention of any possibilities of USB host on the mogul. If someone does make a USB host CF card (never heard of one), I don't think you're going to find any way to interface it with the mogul. And the mogul probably wouldn't be able to power an external hdd, so you'd have to have a power supply and be tethered to the wall. At that point, you might as well carry a laptop around and store things on it, and just forget about USB host on the mogul.
If I had to guess I think you would see a Bluetooth harddrive before you saw anything like that.

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/consumer_electronics/DAVE/
theoretically it could be done with MicroSDIO, but i dont know if the mogul supports SDIO
plus i doubt anyone will make a USB controller in an MicroSDIO card, lol
wow that bluetooth harddrive looks promising, but the speed must suck :/. yea using a laptop would work, but its still too big and uses a lot more power. i had this idea, run mobiletorrent on the phone attached to a harddrive. it would use less power and its still smaller than a laptop.
How much storeage do you need?
I looked at the bluetooth drive also and it looks cool, and probably slow since i think bluetooth is ~700kbps, sort of like the speed you get beaming from one to another with bluetooth, which I do to and from my laptop now and it is kind of creepy slow. If you need more than the 8gigs that a microSD can do for now then that might be the way,,,,,,wait,,,,I remember seeing a shared WiFi drive some place, that would be lots faster i bet.
Would it be possible simply to hook a usb stick up to the Titan via micro usb? I mean yeah it could potentially get in the way, but the way I see it is just buying an extended battery that hopefully has a rather large cover or even a plain jane case and cutting a chunk out for the usb to lay in. Simply plug it in when you're in need for your rather mediocre tunes and videos and BAM all the storage you want. Is something like this possible? Would the phone be able to sense that there is extra storage?

That would need the heck out of work to hack the ROM to get the driver in.
There is no way (nearly impossible) to do this with Official ROM, because this haven't done ever before.
D'awwwwwwww. Are there other methods you know of or expanding a phones storage without using the sim card? I'm in love with the titan, but I need more that 12gb of space.

Use the cloud.
Touche. I like having all of my stuff right on my device. I hate depending on AT&T and their towers.
The cloud is neither an ideal solution nor salvation..
I would assume there is an app on the marketplace that can both uploading and download what I want from the cloud. Is there such a thing?
hi
htc flyer can support micro sd 64gb?!
I think all 64 gb micro SD are sdxc and I think the flyer only supports up to 32gb sdhc.
That is correct in theory, however it appears that most devices that state mini-SDHC (32GB max) compatibility work with SDXC, so it might be worth a try.
Wish I had one to try
I try mini sd 32gb and work in flyer.
any body try 64gb on flyer ?!
I wouldn't think so but you never know until you try it I guess. You might try reading here before purchasing one though - http://www.androidcentral.com/sandisk-announces-64gb-microsdxc-card-dont-get-too-excited

Lol, I have more music that that never mind videos and audiobooks. Pretty sure by the way she described here usage butterflygirl could easily fill one too.
Yes it's too much to listen to all together, but you can never tell in advance what you'll be in the mood for.
Yeah you are right, I have a music collection that's over 25 Gb, but I pared it down to 16 Gb for travel because there other stuff I will never listen to.
I have the best part of half a terrabyte of music. That is WAY more than anyone could feasibly listen to even on a very long trip for sure but I have a tendency to listen to a track or two from an album at random and move on, so it's hard to pare it down properly. If I could use OTG it would solve any problems but for now I make a day-by-day decision what to transfer from the Cloud/PC and have a few 32GB SD cards so it's no really a big deal anyway.
@globatron
Yep, butterflygirl could fill up that space. I have 12gb of manga alone....
Contest!!!
Let's see who can fill up the most space on their Flyer!
Ready, Go!
I'm surprised no one has pressed on USB host. I see random reports that people have it on their Flyer but so far no dedicated method for making it work.

I will start playing with usb host when I have Honeycomb. If I don't see HC soon in US, then I will probably try globatron's method.

Easy with source, just compile the module. I'm seeing nothing at all on the usb bus when I try with HC and I'm not bothered enough to blind port it.

As near as I can tell (with my limited ability) USB host seems to be working on the RC of HoneyComb (as used in FlyHoney) but, is not working on the final release.
I'll pop Nicki a note and see if he compiled something or if it was in the beta base. If he has things set up to compile the module it should be pretty simple to get this up and running.
Any word from Nicki on USB host?
Forgot to ask when the source landed, it is there...just seems the HTC have taken strange interpretation of the OTG standard. I was fiddling at it a bit yesterday and I can get it to go into OTG mode but it doesn't detect any attached device.
First off, if this post would be better suited to another forum, feel free to move it.
As stated in the title, I have a Pioneer p3200 stereo, which was great with my iPhone, but now is mildly annoying with my i777 because I have to use the aux input.
I can connect via USB, and using the stereo I can search through my phones data, however it won't let me access the music on my SD card. Is there a way to access my external SD? Whether its settings, or making a cable, I'd love to be able to control through the stereo again.

If you can access the internal sdcard, just look for the external_sd folder. Then find the folder your music is in. This is just a guess, since I don't have the stereo in question.

My experience has shown me that products designed for an iPhone do not play well with an Android device.
That's the weird thing, I can see the external_SD folder, but the only thing that it shows in it is isyncr.

I can't say for sure, but it sounds like it's looking for that folder and since its not there it made it. Dunno for sure though since I don't have an ipod to test that theory.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
After further investigation, it seems that there is actually a folder on the phones internal memory called "external_SD" no.idea why, but it seems as though the stereo just doesn't see the SD card...oh well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Maybe load your music to the Google cloud and then just use the google music app to play it through your stereo? Not sure how you are searching folders and such. Guessing on your stereo. But if you have an input then maybe just use your phone to control...? NewB here so excuse me if I am out of line here.
I thought I cleared this up, but apparently not. You are never going to get a device designed for an iPod to work the same way, if at all, with an Android phone. That goes for audio docks, car stereos, boom boxes, etc... If it says "Designed for iPod" then that's what it means. Any integration with an Android device is purely by luck, not design, and a workaround will probably not be forthcoming as the phones do not share any architecture in common. Accept it and move on.
The way the android device mounts the filesystems to usb is that the internal SD (memory) and external sd card are mounted as different drives. The only one that your head unit reads is the first one which is the internal SD. The external_sd card will not work because it is a symlink (symbolic link to another folder) and does not work nicely on other devices because it is mounted as another drive. Anyways, buy a mount for your phone and use your phone as navigation while playing music either using the usb car audio dock or aux+charging.

Yeah, just saying you did it doesn't mean squat. And by "working fine" does that mean it functions exactly as it does with an iPhone? I highly doubt it.

Yeah, don't really give a **** if you think it works or not, but for the sake of others, I just put the music at the root of my SD card, and it sees it once you push the button to connect USB storage. And yes it works every bit as well as my iphone did, aside from taking a few minutes longer to load when the car is initially started.
Well then... This stupid fighting has gone on long enough....

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.
