Anyway to get this working now that we have GB?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Don't really know much about it but I have tried connecting my phone using the usb to my Xbox 360 and LG lcd tv when I was on 2.1.. they recognized the sd card and I was able to watch videos and pictures on both..
Now that I have Netflix it would be nice to have it play on a bigger screen, a lot of phones have this option apparently, GB allows it.

I dont think it is possible at the moment.. you can search in the forum and you will find some threads on it
Is it possible to use an external hard drive with this? Was thinking it would be a great to dump photos, etc to more quickly than using WiFi or MTP.
If so, what do you have to do, and do you need ext3/4 file system?
Thanks!

I'd like to know this also. I have a 1T external with all my media on it that would be very useful in long road trips or overnight stays for the kids.
Haven't done so with the 201 but an NTFS drive connected to the USB port on the 101 dock worked well. No reason to think it wouldn't do the same with the prime.

Oh hell yes!
I have the dock and I have the 1T external hd. I have done what you've asked about and it makes it so much easier than running it through the laptop or a pc. Just plug it in and copy/paste.
I mean, unless I don't understand what you are asking.....you don't need to do anything. the tablet is recognized as a drive, the external is recognized as another drive. I also have and micro sd drive inserted so when I went to File Explorer I just copied and pasted. Books and movies mostly. Most of my photos live in a cloud, so does my music. Of course I'll make some of that avl' offline.
Ok, how did you get it to recognize it?
I have a 1 TB Western Digital USB drive and it powered up, but it didn't do anything. I went into storage and it it didn't see it.
Have you tried using it on a "main" computer and access it via Samba, or hooked up to your router as NAS?

Nevermind. I see that it just works. It didn't come up the first time, but reattaching worked.
It's mounted under /Removable/USBdisk1, next to the MicroSD card.
Works like a charm... Plug in the disk and you can manipulate the files and folders with just about any File Manager on your Prime. I actually like the Asus file manager quite a bit, though use ES Explorer also. I only have Windows file systems on my Usb Hard Drives, so NTFS and FAT32 will be just fine. I've never timed it, but I would guess that copying a GB takes a minute, plus or minus.

Ok, I'm curious.
I've seen this in kernels for phones where CIFS support is included, and I'm guessing you're alluding to that here as well. How do you actually use that with an Android device?

I have ReadyNAS, and can view into it at any time with my phone. I figured that there would me some version of "Connected Media" app for this device. Maybe there is something available on the market that can stream media?
I know with the stock HTC music app, I can listen to music streamed from my NAS.

Worked with an NTFS formatted 1TB Toshiba HD under both Honeycomb and ICS.

um, have you looked at MyNet ? I don't have a NAS and I may be off base, but I think that app looks at everything on the network. I think (?)
So those are Windows apps?

Is there a way to transfer all my music from my itunes to the galaxy s3? iSyncr seems nice but gotta pay for it. If there isn't any other free way than I'll try iSyncr but for now looking for a free hassle way of transferring.

I'm pretty sure you can use Kies to transfer the files from your iTunes library
Kies worked fine for me..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I've used both doubletwist airsync (since galaxy s3 can't get into mass storage mode) and tunesync but failed to load my songs as both of them literally took nearly half an hour just to transfer 4 or 5 songs...
I've tried kies as well which worked fine but lost all id-tags (titles, artist, composer, and album art) and wasn't worth spending hours manually changing the tags out of the 10,000+ songs i have..
Any other methods exist lol?
Thanks for the help and feedback guys
Use an external SD card?

Kies wouldn't let me connect same with double twist so I had an external micro sd card to just and used a usb adapter transfer my music and was all good works for anything to transfer to your phone and would recommend buying one as there is an extra slot not being used.

I used double twist and just put the SD card in my computer, not in the phone and it copied it over pretty quick, Id say 20-30min tops for about 9gig.(not sure I just started it and walked away) Then just put the SD in the phone, all good

I recommend DoubleTwist too, this is the app I tell iPhone users that I am able to convice to try Android based phones and none of them have had any problems using it... The kicker is, I've never used it myself! HAHA

4.2 has a feature called miracast, basically it streams out an hdmi signal over WiFi to a dongle or compliant TV. No worries about formats or compatibility. There are some YouTube videos of the Optimus G playing a presentation on a monitor while reading notes and texting on phone at the same time. Optimus G is shipped with 4.04 ICS but it has the miracast software.

Pretty sure Kies only works on stock roms, if you're on something like AOKP I don't believe it will recognize your device.

OP has amazed me
From downloading then watched on his phone, then asked how to watch those movies on his TV. Then he went around, back and forth, cycling then suddenly watching on his computer. Hmmm, so what the phone or the TV has anything to do with?
Why can you just download the movie from your computer, watching the movie from the computer?
Am I missing something here?

I have a 32 gb lte nexus 9. I Tried using three different USB otg devices including a flash drive from Sandisk that plugs in directly, a flash drive plugged in via a USB otg cable and a ps3 controller plugged in using the same cable (I have the sixaxis app). No one of them work. ES file explorer wouldn't detect any storage, neither does the 'storage' menu in settings give any mount option. And sixaxis doesn't detect the PS,3 controller. Any suggestions?

If you're not rooted, root, then get stickmount from the play store.

Thanks. Rooting made it show up in ES explorer somehow. The ps3 controller still won't work but that's unrelated.
