On their home page it said "Old dog, new trick. Revitalize your seasoned hardware", so I'm thinking of running it (from USB drive) on my old PC, but then the minimum requirement of USB 3.0 drive struck me, old PC's doesn't have USB 3.0 ports. Will it work at all or refuse to run? If it does work will it run acceptably good? I can run Xubuntu and Linux Mint from livecd without problem on it with USB 2.0 drive, I think it should work the same isn't it? Anyone tried it?
PS: Yes I know I should just have tried, but it's not a small download for me, and asking first reduces the chance of it's not working to compatibility issue only instead of USB issue.
Hard drive will work fine in USB2
That's the way I initially used RemixOS
My first try of Remix OS (Alpha) was on a USB 2.0 but don't expect it to be fast. Booting, web browsers and the Spotify app mostly struggled and made the OS crash/reboot
Yes, it will work.

So I just got a MK808 Android TV stick. And I have seen on the freaktab site that they are working on a linux kernel to run Ubuntu off it. It got me thinking since you can run a USB hub on these things with Ethernet, Would it be possible for someone to "port" Smoothwall to one of these sticks and use it as a firewall/router?
Im using Smoothwall at the home now running out of an old power hungry P4 extreme system. I thought that it would be great if I could run Smoothwall from this tiny stick and all I would need it 2x usb to Ethernet adapters. Using only 5v 2 Amp would be amazing. And I figured with the power these little things pack that Smoothwall could work on them.
Is this at all possible? I know there is a big difference between ARM and x86 CPUs and that could stop it dead there. Im not to savy with Linux, but I can use it. Just a thought. Its a neat idea.
Hi.. i just got the 920 a few days ago and I love almost all of it... except for the DAta Transfer speeds...
Seriously it must take around a half hour to copy a few songs to the phone.
The speeds are way below USB 2.0 and i really don't know how to fix it !
Right now I'm trying to DELETE 11GB of music from the computer through WMP... and it's been over 30 minutes. Through explorer its the same deal.
I have a Lumia 920, Windows 8 x64, and a fast VAIO Ultrabook...
Could it be drivers?
Help please! Thanks =)
i have PC with Widows 8 x64 and USB3.0 and (old) HP laptop with Windows 8 x86 and USB2.0 ports... transfer on both is good and fast...
for updating drivers use Driver Genius
It's so strange.. everything else about the phone Works perfectly. As far as i know.. i just plugged it in and it was awfully slow
I've updated the drivers with Driver Genius, it basically updated the chipset and all the Intel stuff but the pone data transfer is still sluggish... Ideas ?
Is the port on the PC a 2.0 port?

I've tried it on both.. Maybe Windows has a better faster way of,transferring files to Windows phones??

i have also USB2.0 port on HP 6730b laptop and transfer rate is good and fast...
I have Win 7 64bit and I just drop files to the phone like another hard drive and they transfer at the same speed any other USB device does.
Don't use WMP to sync. When I use WMP to transfer or manage files, its terribly slow and I'm not sure why either. Use the desktop syncing application or just drag and drop your files, and you'll find that those transfers are much faster.
I think WMP does something extra during the transfer process, which causes it to be slower to sync as a whole.
I have both the original USB 3.0 Samsung cable + USB 3.0 Ports on my PC ( Asrock Z87 Extreme4 Motherboard).
USB 3.0 enabled in BIOS and everything. My computer detects it as 3.0 cable .
But whenever I select USB 3.0 mode on the phone and transfer large files,
I noticed there is barely or no difference in transfer speed at all, as compared to MTP (regular) mode ?
Is anyone in the same situation .
I heard this 3.0 feature is actually just for charging speed not transfer speed on the S5.
Can somebody clarify ?
Thanks!

I transferred a 9.8 gb file last night in under 5 minutes. I don't know exactly how long it took but I know after my 4:27 YouTube video it was finished. I have personally seen much faster speeds. Are you missing drivers for your mobo?
As for charging, I get the same voltage irregardless old which USB port I use. Only USB port I know that would make a difference is one of those new high voltage always on ports I hear about.

Whoaaa, the speeds are at minimum double than regular mtp. But where the 3.0 really shines is transferring a bunch of small files as opposed to a few large files.

I could never figure out how to get 3.0 to work
i select it, but no pop up or even a drive to show.

Really ? Wow lmao .
Well my PC already detects it as a 3.0 usb device ...
So I'm really not sure if it's a problem with my PC drivers or anything .
And yeah I figured the charging isn't much if a big deal .
I'm gon try to troubleshoot this somehow later .

WELL...Apparently USb 3.0 is not supported by MTP w/e AT ALL :
"From what I see it's a technical issue with the Android OS. Certain android applications are restricted from being moved from the internal memory to your internally mounted external SD card. That's part of android's protection: your "external" SD card is no longer considered as an USB mass storage device. The reasoning popped out at me when I began to think about my HP Touchpad running CM10 (ICS). When I mount it to my Linux Desktop, it's still recognized as USB Mass storage device.
Using MTP protects permissions, users, groups, and other file management parameters. Unfortunately, libmtp has not yet been updated to support USB 3.0 speeds. We can only hope it will be as USB 3.0 is becoming more and more prevalent.
The only way I see one can benefit from USB 3.0 transfer speeds to and from android devices (Kit-Kat and beyond) now is to use an OTG 3.0 thumb drive, until that glorious day when USB 3.0 is supported by libmtp."

Thank you for acting selflessly and answering the question for other who've come here seeking an answer
Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.
Sorry for posting the same issue for the 5th and many thanks for helping me - now it's time for shopping

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....

It might have something to due with a recent bug they fixed.

I seem to suffer from a very strange issue on my Android head unit. I've tried to attach two different USB sticks I found in my office and both of them were not recognised by Android. However, someone showed me in a video a stick he uses works perfectly fine on his unit.
So here is my (technical) question. Could it be there are two kind of USB sticks? Older ones which are not compatible with a Android OTA cable? And newer ones? How can i distinguish them?
Try to format in fat32
