Anyone know of a good external storage unit that works with our N6? Just bought the Sony MicroVault 16gb but it seems the phone doesn't recognize it.

i just recently got a Nexus 6, i have had HTC and LG in the past and both of them recognized it automatically. but if you download ES File Explorer for free off of the PlayStore. insert your OTG device and open up ES, in the top left hand corner you will see the 3 lines for the drop down menu, click it and open up the section called "local" and you will see where it says USB3002 (at least thats what mine says) and click it and you will be able to see/transfer your files. when you are done go back there and hit the eject button right next to the USB button and then remove your device.

Allows use of a USB stick. I use a Meenova micro USB with a 64gb card. Came with a nice silicon case that attaches to my key ring.
Yup that did it! Thanks so much my friend!
Thanks griff22usmc. Downloaded stickmount previously and although it now recognized the OTG I still couldn't access the files. All is good now though. Might get that Meenova for the wife. Thanks again bud.

I want to buy that but I can't find them on ebay.
I guess you can say, buy it from their website but they don't support PayPal (credit cards ain't common in the Netherlands) so I'm hoping they will pop up on ebay sometime
I still have a 64gig microsd in my note 3 that's collecting dust now

This is what I use, storage and both plugs built in. The only issue I am having is finding a proper file manager to use. I really dont like ES file explorer , and most of the others. I may be overly picky but most seem to not let you see thumbnails or play videos unless you transfer the file over to your phone in the first place
I too got the Sony micro otg, and couldn't use it with either the Sony app or with Stick Mount. I'm replacing it with this:
Eaget New Intelligent V90 64GB USB 3.0 OTG Flash Drive For Android Smartphone and Tablets Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NL5F1LY/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_XSBfvb1B0DNHA
Haven't received it yet, but in hoping it works.
Let me know how it works out for you Elnirk. I'm checking out the Stellar Patriot on Amazon. Looks pretty durable. Of course I don't know if it'll work any better than the Sony otg. Lol!!
Tower1972 the issue seems to be with the Nexus 6 as the otg loads up perfectly on my wife's Note 3. Thumbnails and all.

When I tried ES Explorer, it seen the USB right away. Seems other file mangers will not unless you use something to mount it (And I tried MANY of them). After making my own thread about something similar, I needed to get StickMount, and started using Solid Explorer, and everything works peachy.
Here is a nice one, plug and play. 64 GB.

It did work, and quite well too. I'm running CM12 and have stick mount installed. In ES File Explorer, you can't open the device directly, instead use the path provided by stick mount. /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1
It is much smaller than I thought it might be. Very pleased with it.

Works great! I'm running CM12 and stick mount. In ES File Explorer it has a way to directly access the USB device, but that wasn't working well for me. Instead, use the path provided by stick mount. ( /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1) I can create folders, copy files, etc without issue. I copied my TB and TWRP backups off the phone to the otg storage to free up quite a few GB of space.
It is a fair bit smaller than I imagined it would be too! (Which I'm very happy about.) I took a picture to give you a good idea of it's size.
Enjoy!
oops, sorry for the double replies. I closed the XDA app on my device mid-reply and thought it didn't post.
I have been using the Meenova for my Nexus 5 & 6 for the past year or so. I have the older style, not the new one with the rubber guard over it. It has always worked great, and it's inexpensive.

I also did the same thing to my phone the other night and found that the original micro SD card was a class 4, so what I want to know is... What class of micro SD card did you use? I changed over my SD card the other night with a class 2 16GB and found that it showed up in the boot-loader as 'unknown' type SD card and that after the hard reset, when the phone was setting up and installing apps, it was taking 4 x longer then what it was when I had the original 8GB micro SD class 4 card in it.
Let me know if this has been the same for you or anyone else that has tried this. I have ordered a class 4 16GB SD card to try soon.
Cheers
Could you just copy/paste the procedure ?!...please
Ok Here is the link
Thanks Ralf
http://wp.me/p1azFB-J -try that
As you will see I just used an old class 2 16GB card that I had lying around, I think it is a Duracell brand !!. There were no problems with booting at all, just went straight to a message saying that the menu tiles were corrupt and asking for a reset. No noticable speed difference, but I will be getting a class 4 32Gb as soon as I can find one for a decent price.
Cheers
Andy
Good job...Thanks...!!
would 32GB Class 6 work fine ? and also will this effect Updates from MS, is there any serials on SD card that have to match up or something like that ? (hope not)

Hi Pipolas
For 3 of the black screws you will need to use a torx screwdriver, they are sometimes sold as "security" screwdrivers . The size you need is T6 x50. There is also 2 phillips screws which I just used a very small star pointed screwdriver for.
Hope that helps and thanks for your comments

I dont know yet about a class 6 32Gb replacement, but I am going to order one and try myself, as I beleive it will be fine. I will let you know once I get it delivered.
BYW, in terms of speed comparison, I have non-scientifically compared my 16GB class2 with my wife's standard 8GB Class 4 and the results look almost identical, in fact in some tests loading into IE etc the Class 2 phone was quicker. I need to run some games though to test properly, as they run mainly from the SD card and any real speed variance will be most apparent then.
There are no serial numbers needed, what WP7 is doing is formating the card in a special way, hence the need for the hard reset. This is shown by the fact that the 8GB card removed from the phone is not Fat32 formatted when connected to a PC and therefore does not show up. Equally when you plug your WP7 phone into the usb slot, it does not show up as a Removable Disk so you cannot simply transfer files to it like with WM6 and before. It remains to be seen if it can be reformatted to use elswhere.
Hope that helps
Cheers

Need to have a serious think about this. Thanks for the cracking guide tho.
You're a brave man, Andy. Thanks for taking the plunge and figuring this out for us. I might wait until the device is more than a few weeks old before attempting myself
thanks for sharing.
eh Andy i have a little problem :
how did you manage to put the power cord into the plug that is on the metal part? because I was handling, but the only thing that stuck is the mini usb port on this phone that is attached to the hull, I can not recharge the battery.
I suppose it is inserted incorrectly because at one point I tried to connect to PC USB port for a few seconds and he got "recognized" detected "then it went away.
thank you in advance for your help

I'm seriously thinking about getting DNA on Wednesday and giving my S3 to my Spouse, who's still rocking the Thunderbolt. At first I was a bit dismayed by the 16GB storage option, but I looked at my 16GB S3 and realized that I never used more than 4 GB for Pics and Video, since everything is uploaded to my G+ account anyhow, and my 32GB SD Card is sitting idle. Here's something interesting.....this is available for the S3 and the iPhone....maybe they'll make it for the DNA? http://egoncompany.com/collections/hybrid-series-galaxy-s3
dude this is sick! i hope they do i will buy one asap!!
That is awesome!!!
I have to add....I don't play any games on my phone. I strictly use my phone for checking e-mails, surfing, FB, Google+, Twitter, and Pictures (I don't think I've unpacked my D-SLR at all since I've gotten the S3...it's a capable Point&Shoot), so even 16GB would be enough for me, but it's nice to know that there's possibly an option out there. Even if it isn't....I have a 3rd, 4th, and 5th line all coming up for renewal in March, so if I'm not happy, I'll just play the hand-me-down game and give the DNA to my mom, and get myself whatever the flavor of the day is at that point.
Okay, that is awesome. We need to bug the hell out of them and see what happens. I would certainly think they'd see the value in doing it, as the models the currently list offer higher memory configs out of the box.
Update: I sent them an email politely suggesting that we've got the perfect device for their business model. Lower memory than some and likely popular despite it's configuration.
This is great. I'll definitely pick one up if they make them for the DNA.

Just a small USB drive.
I am crying over here, LOL...
As soon as I went on to the EGO Online Shop and saw the case, I knew immediately that it was nothing more than a case, storing a Micro USB Thumb Drive.
It does not mention anything about storing photos, music, apps, NOTHING on the Thumb Drive directly off of the phone.
It pretty much doesn't explain anything about what it does or it's use.
So, I can see where some people thought it would expand the on board memory of the DNA or iPhone or whatever phone they make a case for.
BUT, I did get a good kick out of some of the comments after people thought it would be a memory expansion for the phone.
ECO should be more specific and at least explain what the case and USB Drive is for.
On that note, if they were to make a case that would expand the on board memory or just so that we don't have to store all our pics/songs etc
on the phone and onto a USB Drive, that would be awesome.
Good luck to all with the DNA.
Nice phone, but I have had a ton of Androids (Most recently SGS3 from T-Mobile and Verizon), and this is just another one to add to my list. With the exception of the really nice 5" screen and
gorgeous display, it's just another Android Phone.

With the all these roms coming out do you think we will ever get real usb mass storage? I come from the rezound and was nice to be able to use usb on any pc quickly. I'm no Dev but I would assume it would be easier than unlocking the boot loader ha

Are we talking for the external SD Card? Cuz yeah I'd love to have this too.
I hate MTP with a passion. But it's been working "okay-ish" so far for me. It's just so slow.
I have a microsd to usb adapter (it was about $5 from amazon) and I just pop the card out of my phone and copy files. MTP was worst under HC. You could always transfer files via wifi or bluetooth. The only time I've had my note plugged into the PC is when I unlocked the bootloader.
According to these posts the SGS3 utility works on our Note2.

Maybe you should read about usb mass storage and see how it differs from mtp. I can post some links for you but I can't understand it for you.
I forget what the rationale behind MTP was but I don't care. This is #@)*ING a pain in the @ss. It's Google's fault.
My Droid the way it handled USB and file transfer was waaay better.
I wouldn't really have a problem I guess but this Android File Transfer app on my Mac well it worked when I first got my SIII but right after the first stupid Verizon update it broke. Still broken in JB. Oh Verizon, the company you just plain hate.
For now I do what the above poster mentioned with SD card to my mac. It works, and thankfully Sammy gave us external SD Card slot. But it's not as convenient.
I wish Google would just add file transfering back or get Android File Transfer working again on Mac with the most popular phone (in the world?).

It was an attempt at a seamless auto mounting easy access to your phone's data requiring no input from the end user that failed. What really bugs me is that the method used for transferring is 100x slower than the usb mass storage method. The thing I do most is transfer music and MTP makes me want to poke my eyes out.

Thank you xboxexpert for all your hard work!
Step 1. Plug the device in to your computer and uninstall any drivers that may load.
Step 2. Download and update the Android SDK, including the USB Driver or try the PDANet drivers.
Step 3. Add the following line to adb_usb.ini found in your user directory in the .android folder (e.g. C:\Users\YourName\.android\):
Code:
0x109b
If the file does not exist, simply create it. This may require a reboot
Step 4. Load up ADB and check connectivity through the following command:
Code:
adb devices
Step 5. If everything reported correctly in the previous step, run Motochop.

Looks like you were one of the lucky few who were able to purchase this little gem early. Congrats on that. I picked mine up today and I must say that it is probably the best $150 I've spent in a very long time. It's the happiest I've been with a gadget purchase since scoring a BNIB 32GB HP TouchPad for $99 during the firesale. With that said, I hope to see more people coming to the forum with interest in the device. We can only speculate, but I would imagine this low-price and feature rich tablet will get the attention of at least a few developers and we'll get more info then. As for what I have been able to obtain, I'm stuck at the same roadblock as you. I'm bumping this thread for further interest.
I agree. Best spent $150 in a long while. Seems just as fast as my gs4.
Only cons are the screen and bulk, but for the price its a steal!!!
Hopefully it gets support for updates from hisense or the great xda devs start playing with this beast.
Root for this is needed, stat !!!
I'm thinking to sell my Nexus 7 16gb and get this since it has the hdmi and microsd slot.
I'm sure XDA guys will make this device a beast, right?
Will be interested in seeing is some deva pick this up as my main concern would be support.

I just picked one of these up on the way to work this morning. It is sitting on my desk charging as I am trying to get some work out of the way before I turn it on. I will be replacing a Kindle with this and just from eyeballing it my Kindle Seido case may be a perfect fit. I will test it tonight. It also appears that a Kindle screen protector will work for it as well. I would guess the Nexus 7 or other 7" protectors will work also, but I can use a ruler and verify the Kindle one since I already have that device.
Have you tried using the motochopper tool from djrbliss?

Random question, since this is the only thread about the Sero 7 Pro I've found.
How are the speakers? I have a Kindle Fire HD and I am pondering about the switch...
Also, can this support 64GB microSDs?
Also, I've heard reports of flawed Sero Pros popping up.
Does anyone have any firsthand experiences with how this tablet's holding up?
Thanks in advance!

The speakers a actually pretty loud. I was watching movies on it last night and was satisfied with the sound.
I saw some random comments (in the comments section) on various articles about this tablet but they all seem to be written by the same person based on the writing style and content.
Mine is holding up great. No issues at all and is as enjoyable as using my galaxy s4 but with a bigger screen. I'm testing out the battery today to see how long she lasts. If she lasts me the whole day of heavy use, she's a keeper.

The first store I went to, they older guy was disgruntle I interrupted him, when I pressed him to do his job he couldn't spell Hisense.
Just picked up the Pro today, haven't opened it yet. As mentioned above, with the 15 days from Wally, I'll wait a bit to see if any devs pick it up. I have to say it does look like a terrific deal for the specs and if there is some XDA love for it, I'll give my GTab 2 to my wife.
I'll be searching this forum daily to see what shakes down.
@tharien,
First location I went to, walked in and went right to the display case, saw the Lite and Pro. Asked the nearest associate to open the case, checked out and left. Took less than 5 minutes.

Good to hear. I was also waiting to see if devs pick it up because I was looking for a tab for my wife and daughter. But don't want to hang them out with one that would be unsupported. Let us know how hdmi works as my wife would want that for work.

I had to go to 2 different stores. The first store had a single 7 Pro Lite. The second store had 5-6 of both models.
I hope devs pick up this device too. Though I'll likely get one anyway...

As far as I know, this is a new Tablet. 7 inch Nvidia Terga3 1.3ghz quad core with 1gig of ram/8gb ROM. NFC, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4ghz and 5ghz, front and rear facing cameras, 5 and 2 megapixels respectively, GPS amd mini HDMI. Jelly Bean 4.2. It's a decent little tablet.
The trouble is getting it rooted. Recovery mode is attainable and I've only been able to pick up the serial number via ADB when attempting to update from ADB in recovery. Any other time, I get nothing. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

How were you able to get feedback in recovery mode? I can't get ADB to see the device at all. I tried using the Nexu 7 ADB drivers as well as a raw set. I can only get Windows to see it, however that's an easy thing when forcing a driver.
I also tried fastboot - Windows sees it as the Nvidia tegra 3 Fastboot connection, so I'm starting to think we need the real driver from Hisense unless we can find a generic alternative.
Device Manager shows (! - M470BSA) and again under portable devices correctly as a media device.
The Vendor ID is 109B which comes back to Gemlight Computers Ltd which mfg USB for OEMs.
edit - Hisense does not have anything for this tablet on either their international site or their US site aside from a press kit.

I believe you're right about needing the ADB drivers from Hisense, hopefully over the next few days, it will materialize on their site. I guess they felt we needed to download their presskit instead of drivers or firmware.
Anyway, maybe it's worth trying Koush's Universal ADB drivers? Possibly one in the list will work with this.

Does anyone use Meenova MicroSD Reader on Note 3? How about it? Thanks.
www.meenova.com
I use a 2tb wd hdd via a otg cable. It pulls all the power it needs from the phone. Note I only use this setup to change the movies I have on my sd card in the phone to much risk of unwanted disconnect if using the phone at the same time.

I have one as was a kickstarter backer. It works fine with my scan disk 64gb class 10.

How do you use it since Note 3 has USB 3.0? Thanks.

Micro USB 3 is split in to 2 parts. The first is the same as MicrUSB and backwards compatible. Just plug in to that part of the wider port.
Have a Meenova and used it with a Sandisk 64gb. It works.
BUT, I just have 2 issues that I didn't particularly like and made me put it away for now.
1. On my white version, the blue LED light is very distracting late at night. I emailed them asking if it was possible to disable it but they said no. My current solution is to stick stickers on all sides to obstruct the light...lol. It kinda works.
2. I was primarily hoping to use the Meenova to watch a lot of TV shows using the video player. However, if I were in the middle of a video and exited then reopened the video app, it would restart the video from the beginning. I was hoping that if I had kept the meenova plugged in, then it would still retain the video's position. This is probably a problem of the OS rather than the product.
Otherwise it does in fact work, just not for my personal needs.
p.s. my adapter is also a bit wobbly, so be careful when holding yours.

What video player do you use? Did you try MX player?

Thanks for the suggestion. You can definitely resume from MX player using the meenova but I prefer to use the stock player due to the popup video feature.

BS Player has the popup feature as well.
This is a nice card and small card reader but it's expensive for such a small thing No other brands/alternatives?

On mine, I used a black Sharpie to "paint" over the entire LED collar. That didn't eliminate the light, but it made it much dimmer and far less distracting.

not really, I got them locally, so you probably have to do some searching.
