Hey guys,
i bought a Noosy Smartphone U-Disk and received it today. It's a 4gb USB pendrive with a usb and a micro-usb plug and MicroSD support (it has an adapter under the usb plug). The pendrive itself works fine but i can't enter the microsd i inserted... Has anyone got an idea what i could do to get access?
back it up and format it to fat32 system
I already did it... I even tried it as ext4 :/
Do you mean you can't browse to USB disk if yes than use a file explorer like solid explorer press back button one time and you will see USB

I can browse usbdisk but i can't access the micro sd i inserted into the stick's adapter... i don't know if sxu isn't supporting it... i even changed vold.fstab (the line for ext_card was missing)...

I tried to mount my galaxy s as a usb hdd yesturday but the g tablet didn't seem to recognize it.
So I guess this is a 2 part question;
1) what format would the sd card in my phone be I assume it's ext
2) does vegan gingerbread support it?

If an android device can read your sdcard then your all good. Unfortunately I don't think this is an available feature, yet at least. Gotta mount the card after u remove it from the phone. No USB support for mounting SD in other Droid devices. And most commonly microsds formatted as fat32.
darn. i was hoping that when i plug my phone in to the tablet, it would just recognize it as a normal usb flash drive. guess that isn't the case.
currently i have a gs3 running omega rom v27.2 with a 64gb microsd exfat formatted.
i've noticed that in windows i cannot copy a file >4gb to the microsd card on the phone via usb cable. it just stops with a error saying it exceeds the device limit.
in the past, probably i month ago (no idea what omega rom version i was using) i had no difficulty transferring a >4gb file to the phone via the usb cable
so the only option i have now is to:
-take off the phone tough case (<-the most annoying part)
-pop the back off
-eject the microsd card out of the phone
-put microsd into adapter
-find the card reader
-then copy the >4gb file to the microsd
-then do all the above in the reverse
that's 12 steps vs 1 click to copy file to the phone in the past when it had no limit on file size
i tried foxhound 0.7 rom, also same problem.
is there a solution ?
A work-around might be to format the card as NTFS. The S3 doesn't natively support NTFS but there are apps that add support.
I've been using NtfsSd on the S3 for a while now, because I share the card with my Transformer Prime and that reboots randomly when it has an exFAT card inserted.
Hopefully there's a proper solution to your issue, but as work-arounds go this one's not so bad.
yeah i tried formatting the 64gb microsd into ntfs then using the paragon ntfs&hfs+ app
but even that doesnt let me copy >4gb files to the microsd card when the phone is connected by usb cable. same error. file size exceeds the device limit which is crap.
This is in no way a solution, but have you tried SGS 3 Easy UMS? At least you won't have to keep on removing your memory card from the phone.
i hadn't used sg3 easy ums for a while cos last time i used it, it corrupted my memory card but that was a much older version.
just tried it:
-hit ums mode , detected the microsd on the pc, and it seems to work
-copying 8gb file to the microsd as i type
at least now i can copy to the microsd in the phone without the hassle :good:
How can I connect External harddisk on Sony Tablet S. Using an OTG cable, I can connect Pendrive. But it doesn't detect harddisk

An ext HDD has to have it's own power supply.The tab ain't powerful enough to run a simple plug and play ext HDD.

I frequently use without problem two different Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB-powered hard drives (p/n WDBACY5000ABK-00) with a Sony Tablet S. I use a Sony SGPUC1 USB cable to connect the hard drives to the tablet. The hard drives are formatted FAT32, which is required for the tablet to be able to access the hard drives; that is, without modifying its kernel.
I suspect your problem is your hard drive is not formatted as FAT32. If that is the case, you will need to format your hard drive as FAT32. Microsoft Windows (any version) cannot format large capacity hard drives as FAT32, so you will need to use a third-party formatting tool.
If your tablet has root access, another option is installing a NTFS kernel module. For information on downloading and installing the NTFS kernel module, read THIS thread. This supposedly will allow the tablet to access hard drives formatted as NTFS.
Any thoughts/ideas on the following would be welcome. I have got USB OTG working fine on my HTC flyer using an OTG cable and Y cable for external power with a USB pen drive.
However when I try to use the same set up with a USB SD Card reader, I get the message "USB device not supported - The USB device you have connected is not supported. Please unplug both the USB device and the dongle.
Any thoughts on why this is not supported or any fixes?
The card reader works fine with the same 4gb sd card (from camera) on windows PC.
Hi Everybody,
today I tried to attach my Transcend USB Card Reader (TS-RDF8K) to my Z2 via the working USB OTG adapter. I verified the correct function of the OTG cable by connecting a Logitech keyboard and mouse and this worked perfectly. Now I wanted to try reading from the memory cards of my camera which uses Compact Flash cards. Sadly I could not find a mount point in ES File Explorer to access the CF card. Maybe someone can enlighten me how to access the card.
Thanks in advance
