Hi all,
I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if these USB OTG Memory Stick/Flash Drives that are being sold in shops & by online retailers are compatible with our Galaxy Note Pro's?
I've seen models by Sandisk, Patriot, Corsair & Transcend with varying capacities. Unfortunately due to this forums restrictions on noobs like me, I can't post links to them but I hope someone understands what I'm talking about
Hope someone can help...
Thanks
In theory, all of them should work. But only if you format them as fat32 or exFAT.
Thanks very much ShadowLea for the info
Next time I'm down the shops & I see one I'll buy it & give it a go, and I'll post another reply on this thread to let everyone know if it worked or not :fingers-crossed:
Perhaps you might take a look at one of these.
I've got one and it works flawlessly with my Note Pro 12.2.

I just ordered a PNY 128 GB thumb drive from Amazon for about $45 and it's working great so far with my OTG cable.

The USB 3.0 OTG cable I got was this one - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00II0H7T6/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1
I have a Sandisk usb stick with full USB on one end and Micro USB on the other end and it works fine.

I already got gaming controllers xbox 360, ps3 and pc at home, so i wont need another one of those. I will for sure pick up HDMI cable and smart cover or whatever asus will call them. Also thinking of getting the 40pin to usb connector that ASUS makes. A couple other things i left out that are on my wish list that im not quite sure on are... protective screen and extra charging cable.
If anyone disagrees with one of these things, let me know below, i would like to here some opinions. Also if you have any hot items you will picking up to go with your TF201 let me know! Oh sorry for no links, still on my way to 8 posts... when i reach 8 ill come back through and fix them.
Is the dock's SD Card slot an SDXC? If not, there's no point in getting a 64GB SD card.

There's no such thing like a sdxc slot.
Testers haven't found any sdxc cards that didn't work in normal slots.

To utilize the full capacity you buy the firmware has to support SDXC.
Without SDXC support, you can't access beyond 32GB on a card.

SDXC cards are basically SDHC cards formatted to exFat. exFat has to be supported by your OS.
OR just format the card to Fat/Fat32/NTFS. And voilà your done.
There is no need for SDXC support. It's only the DEFAULT filesystem (exFat) which needs to be supported to get the support for files > 4GB. (Fat/Fat32 only support files up to 4GB)
Once again, there is no special requirement for SDXC cards. Only the DEFAULT filesystem may not work. There is no problem in using a 128GB Fat32 card in any device that supports SDHC.
I am using a 64GB SDXC in my TF101 dock with no problems, of course I had to reformat to NTFS and it works perfectly. ExFat was not supported by the software, NTFS was a cake walk....

Supposedly you can, however, in order to accomplish this, first the external HDD would have to be formatted in FAT32, or possibly EXT2/3/4; something which is natively recognized by the 7.7 Also, since the USB adapter only supplies a minimum amount of power (150mA I think), the HDD would have to be externally powered, either by its own power adapter, or by connecting through a powered USB hub (assuming the hub also has enough power to run the HDD).
It didn't recognize my external 500GB NTFS drive. I have a spare that I can format with FAT32 and will try that just for grins if I get a chance tomorrow. Otherwise, meh.
Update: I tried this with an external USB (self-powered) drive formatted in FAT32 and I got an error message saying "High Powered USB Device Connected: Cannot connect to...."
Not a big deal at all, really.
Just received a Corsair 128GB flash drive(Flash Voyager) today that I bought on Ebay for $45 . It was formatted to exFAT,which is Microsoft's newest file system,rather then FAT32 and allows files bigger then FAT32's 4GB max file size.
It works great on the 7.7 so exFAT is supported and even plays HD movies and lets you transfer files to the 7.7 and back.
I already had the 30pin to usb adapter.
Hi,
Great news. Thank you 7harper
Could you please post the ebay link from which you've purchased the key. I can't even find 128GB flash drive for this price. Thx !
are the usb connection kit for 8.9 and 10 inch abs compatible with p6800 ?

How did you manage to get the 7.7 to read/write exFAT formatted disk? I can't seem to make it work here. Tried both Asian and European ROMs but in vain. Can anybody else who has a USB connector with an exFAT stick confirm this?
Thanks.
Hey...
Just wanted to let everyone know that a USB A Male to A Female won't really help much...
For a matter of fact it won't do anything... it's like an elongation cable of 8cm which is crap!!! I guess I wanted to get a Female-Female but came out a bit of a retard...
I wanted to use the 30pin to USB cable, connect it to a Female-Female converter and shove my other USBs on the other end.... wondering if that will work....
Anyhow that's just my 2 dimes...
have a nice day,
SK.
exFat doesnt work on micro sd cards in built-in slot so I guess it won't work on any other medium...

Have you actually been able to do that with a powered USB harddrive? I got an error message saying "high powered device" when I plugged one in to the Tab.

I have tried three different external hard drive assemblies ( one desktop, two portable) all with external power applied. One of the portables always triggers the High Power Device shutoff. So I think it depends on the drive box interface electronics.

Just want to reconfirm that the OEM Samsung USB & SD Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy Tab will work for our 7.7?
I read that it is not supported for the original 7.0 and the 7.7 tablet - directly from the Samsung store.
Would be really sweet if it does work.
What I want to do is have it read my SD memory card.
Anyone?

I got it! I've tested it out and everything seems to be working out. However, I can't seem to get my 128 GB SD to be recognized with the SD Adapter.
It comes up as "SD card blank or unsupported filesystem"
I've formatted the card to NTFS and ext4 to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I got Fat32 to work with my 128 GB SD card. With the limitation of Fat32, I won't be able to transfer a file larger than 4 GB. Anyone how to get around this issue?
As stated by someone else earlier in this thread, try formatting with exFAT.
Is there anyway to connect 2.5 external HD?
I mean, using external power kinda defeat the purpose...
Hello everyone,
I wanted to get your oppinion on buying a version of the XTZ because I can't decide.
By now I am thinking between the 32GB only version and the 16GB LTE version. I know the price difference so that's precisely why I want to make the best choice.
I still have a question to which I didn't find the answer ...
- does the XTZ read information from external USB 3.0 HDD's or there is a limitation of Android or of the tablet version?
I have two external 1 GB WD that i want to use ...
To surf the internet I don't mind making a hotspot with the smartphone.
Please advise.

It really depends if the XTZ will read external hard drives, USB 3.0 itself shouldn't be a problem.
1) How is the hard drive formatted?
Is it FAT32 or exFAT (Wifi version only) you're good to go. NTFS won't work.
2) Does it have external power support?
If not, it really depends if the XTZ USB port via OTG can provide enough power to run the hard drive. I have tested 2 hard drives so far (without any external power support) and the XTZ couldn't run either of them. But I have heard from several users that they actually made certain external hard drives work via OTG. It is really kind of a gamble if the XTZ can make your hard drives work and I wouldn't rely on it, there is no oother way around it to just test it out but I'd say the odds aren't great.
If it has external power support it should be no problem as long as the format is okay (check 1)).

Thank you very much. I checked and my two External HDD's can be formated to exFAT in Win8.
The only problem (and quite a big one actually) is represented by the power provided through la USB port on the XTZ.
I saw on the thread that you started that a few users in Germany managed to power a few External HDD's without external power support.
Can you please ask what kind of HDD's thay used? Make and model pls?
Thank you.

And yes they say you have to be rooted/ have a third party app.
wonder why i have to be rooted... Do i need to use StickMount for this accessory?

I can't tell you for sure since I had stickmount installed before I received my meenova. All I can say is... Perfect solution. I have my 64gb SD in my meenova on my keychain, so whenever I feel like doing a backup, it's right there. FolderSync is a nice app, too. On top of that, TWRP supports OTG, so I can do my backups straight to/from the adapter and don't have to use up 3gb of my internal storage for my latest backup.
Bottom line:
Love it.
Now Dash Micro
The Meenova has been retired in favour of the extremely similar looking Dash Micro.
I'm pleased to see these ship to the UK so I am going to order one. The lack of an SD card slot in the N6 almost put me off it. One of these will be useful.
Stickmount is required for the Meenova Dash Micro. I had hoped it wasn't necessary, no big deal though. Before this, I had a 64gb Sandisk Dual USB stick which worked well but also required Stickmount.

Corsair Voyager go works well.
I bought the Meenova after I got a Nexus 5. It's one of the best accessories I have ever bought. I haven't upgraded to the Dash Micro yet. Now I'm using the Meenova with my Nexus 6 paired with the Stickmount app and it's a match made in heaven!
Has anyone here used one of these?
I use my tablet for just about everything so I'm always worried about running out of space.
But with this I could add so much storage space with usb drives, and an sd card.

I have been using OTG to transfer files from and to my galaxy devices and it is working very well
But the sad news is that our note pro cannot give enough power to portable HDD ( the ones i used were 1Tb and 2tb, on my note 3 and my note edge they work but not on the note pro)
You can connect flash memories and anything that consumes low voltage like a mouse or a keyboard or a flash memory

I'm not looking to connect hdd's.
I already have planned what I'm doing.
First of all I'm gonna find some way to strap it to the back of the tablet case, and then, I got 1 for now, ultra fit usb flash drive, which will go in one of the usb ports.
I got a memory stick pro duo adapter which I can slot two of my micro sd cards into, and then stick it in the otg.
And then one micro sd card in an sd card adapter to put in the sd card slot. :3
This thing makes no sense. It's great yeah, but it's weird, it can have three flash drives or usb devices running at once, but when it comes to cards of any kind, you can only use one at a time, even if one is in a usb adapter, it still won't allow two.
It makes no sense, usb all you want, but cards only one. Why?

Sorry, just came across this post. Here are several methods I use; a 128Gb Sandisk USB 3 thumb drive [http://a.co/9OVzdu5 ] and a USB 3 OTA adapter [http://a.co/jfMs2Yq ] along with the 128gb micro card in the device. If you need terabytes, get a wireless battery powered portable hard drive [http://a.co/fzM9ZPi], it works on mine. I also had a spare 240gb mSATA card from when I replaced my laptop drive. I bought a case for it and use that - the tablet has enough power to use it. Finally, I have connected a self-powered 2 Tb desktop drive with good results via the OTG cable. It just takes a while when opening your file explorer. Last, but not least, you can connect to your NAS via WiFi [ I use QNAP, and have accessed it from everywhere that I've visited that had good inet speeds via the QNAP apps]
Do you have more info on QNAP? Where to get it for instance? Is it in the Play Store?

QNAP is a hardware vendor for Network Attached Storage units - look on Amazon or NewEgg. I got the empty 2 bay one and loaded some spare drives I had laying around so I have 2 Tbytes mirrored now. Their apps allow remote access for files, music and movies to their devices.
