It may be read only, but its a place to store your media to use, and keep your internal memory for other stuff!
This app isn't mine, and I did not make t or have any input in development, I simpliky just found n Google play, just thought I'd say

Looks interesting, but IMO cloud storage is more useful and easier.

And IMO offline storage is more useful, especially on a Wifi-only device, but also for anyone else with a limited data plan on their phone or data connection capable tablet. Also, pretty sure a $9 16GB USB stick is more cost effective than pretty much any 16GB cloud storage option.

There is actually a thread over in the Themes and Apps section that the developer made. He is really open to input. I like the app, as I don't have to root to use a flash drive with videos saved on it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Well, isn't that a kick in the teeth, because I just rooted last night simply to use USB OTG. At first I kind of felt "meh" over the read only factor, but then I got to thinking, am I really going to need to transfer from tablet to external media? I'd much rather transfer from external media to tablet, do what I need to do with watching whatever content I may have, then simply delete it off the tablet... no reason to transfer it back when it's the same darn file. Some people may have uses for having a 2 way setup, but I'm sure this will fit the bill for a lot of people. I do find it a considerable bummer that ext* file systems aren't supported, but meh.

Thank you thank you thank you!

i dont understand the bickering of cloud data. it is nice but i have 20 hours of plane flights coming up. cloud data will not be a very good solution for me compared to plugging a hard drive into my tablet.

Being a non-root user, this is great news for me. I always used splashtop to watch my videos directly from my computer, though it gave me no trouble, I would much rather have the movie with me.
Can't wait till the developer puts it back up.

What is the name of the app? Can anyone share the APK?

Downloaded Nexus Media Importer yesterday. It works as needed on my GNex, Nexus 7 and Xoom. No root necessary. Amazing! I'd pay for this app in a heartbeat! Sorry have no place to upload it.

Looks like the developer is now charging for it:

Yes, the higher the class the faster the data read and write speed. but regardless, class 6 is plenty fast enough for anything you do on the phone. But since the price is so close to each other, I would suggest just getting the class 10. You can always use it on your digital camera (newer ones that support it) if you don't use it on the phone. fyi, make sure you format the drive in FAT32 (let the phone recognize the card first before putting it into your computer).

update
Received my Sandisk 64gb Micro SDXC card today and it was a complete FAIL. Tried to format it in the note, it did not work. Kept saying sd card is blank or is in unreadable format. I tried to format it in FAT32 via CMD on my PC, did not work. I tried to format with other programs did not work. Spent the last 4 hours trying to get this to work to come to the conclusion that I must've received one that was part of the bad batch that was released to the public. I will be returning this one and exchange it. *sigh I'll likley have to wait until next week to try out the new one since its a holiday weekend.

My note wouldn't read it out of the box. I put it on my S2 and formatted it under settings. Then my note started reading it. So you can prob try a different Android phone and format it from the phone... I thought I had one from a bad batch too at first but that fixed it. now it works like a charm.

nope. i never use ebay. I don't trust it. I got it from amazon. I will say this though...amazon was just the middle man when I first bought it. I returned it already and will be getting a full refund while my new card will arrive tomorrow, but it was purchased from amazon directly this time.

Update. I got the new card and it wouldn't format on the note,but it formatted easily on my pc and works like a charm now. Only issue IM having is that it won't transfer.files above 8Mb/s. Not exactly the 30mb/s that it's rated it. Could be a number of other things causing this, but I'll update once I figure out why it's so slow.

I just popped it in my s2 first then under settings i hit format right off the phone.. I originally put it in my note but it wouldn't read it. Wouldnt even load.. After i did the format on my s2 it worked. I uploaded movies, music and used about 70%of it and it runs smooth with no lags... Its a speed 10 btw not the six one idk if that makes a difference or not

Android as of like ICS or honeycomb supports flac natively. So the answer is yes
My N7 plays flac on stock 4.2 even though its not officially a 'feature'

That's a relief. I just spent ~30 transferring all my FLACs to my SD card. That had better not have been wasted space lol.

Unknown if s4 could support 128gb sdxc card. Would you get one if available? Discuss

I have a 64gb sandisk sdxc now, but normally have 24 to 32gb free on it. I typically like to store entire seasons of TV shows on the card and watch them in their entirety on the phone because it's easier than lugging around a laptop to watch shows. If the technology came out, and say it was $150 to $200 or less, and it was a very reputable manufacturer, would you drop that much money on a card? Personally, I would give it some serious thought if it did. If you have any experience in dealing with storage of shows that are over 32gb in size, you know the limitations of the available hardware these days. I'll find myself copying maybe half the season to the card, watching what I have on the phone, then copying the rest over once enough free space has opened up. Another thing to consider, the average ROM size due this phone is 1.5 to 2gb. I typically store roms on my external card too in case I ever need them.

If money was no object, yes. In the real world, no.

As someone who loves music and only listens to lossless(flac)which a large portion of that is 24bit vinyl rips, a 64gb card hardly holds a single playlist for me. In fairness that playlist is almost 1400 songs.

Sprint's network is going to have to get waaaay faster and waaaay more reliable before I even THINK about keeping everything in the cloud. I'm not in a 4g market, so there's just no way that could be a practical solution for me. I have about 25gb free on my 64gb card right now, but it fills up really quickly with nandroids and 1080p videos of my kids.

I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. And for reference, I'm a college student with a part time job as a phone tech and a car payment. I have too many game emulators and roms on here. I've had to clear things out a lot recently. I also torrent extensively on my phone.

It's all about much they compress it and how many sound channels they encode. I don't have the hardware to rip br. I've seen 30 to 50 GB straight m2ts rips from br that I converted to something more reasonable in size. Say a two to two and a half hour 1080p movie encoded down to around 5k video bitrate. The movie will come in around four gigs tops down from 50gb from the br disc with only stereo audio. Good enough for the hardware I have to watch it on.

Not possible because they dont exist

I have 51 gigs unused on my 64 gig sd card .Over 2500 photos and 23 hd videos and 4 roms and alot of games hd games. 128 gigs is crazy but for the right price
I would buy. You can never have to much memory, im sure I could find some use for that extra space.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

The hardware will support 128 and beyond. Software will as well. Just have to wait for them to go on sale. But yes the hardware will definitely support 128 no problem.
I'd probably get one if it was true class 10 speed. I know I would use the space. I don't put too much music on my phone anymore with Google play music allowing 20,000 songs uploaded. Plus with Google play music service you can listen to any album in full at anytime even if you don't own it. Love this service, blows everything else away.
But movies and torrents take up space fast. With 40mb+ LTE speeds everywhere now it's hard not to want to use it.

On my 64Gb card currently:
2,273 songs (all MP3s at 320kbps) - that's roughly half my entire collection, but it's all the ones I care to have with me
88 ePub/PDF eBooks
1,384 photos (family photo album, not pictures from camera)
3,615 ROMs for various emulators (mostly 8-bits, but a couple of Playstation ISOs too)
25 HD videos (like the photos, not videos from camera)
1,867 high-quality wallpapers (which, ironically, I don't use anymore!)
8 ISOs for DriveDroid including Ubuntu, Windows XP, HawkPE, Hiren's and some others
34 podcasts I've yet to listen to (which reminds me... LOL)
187 Flash files
223 pictures and videos taken with the camera
249 documents (Office docs, text files, etc)
Some app data, but not a lot
With all of that, I still have 14Gb free on the thing!
TL;DR 64Gb does me just fine If the 128Gb was < $50 I probably would, but it'd be overkill.

Received Gear VR

Just received my VR. When using it for the first, it prompts you to go through a set instructions which illustrates how to use the controls which are easy to use. It then takes you through a VR demo of different 360 video clips.
I would give the video quality a 7 out of 10 as you can clearly see the pixels but after watching for a while you forget they are present. I did insert the included 16gb micro sd card in my phone before inserting it into the headset.
I only used it for a about 15 minutes after which the phone was warm but i also had a large file being downloaded over lte at the same time which was already using up a lot of cpu.
The VR cinema was realistic and the 3d trailers included made it feel as if i was watching the trailer in an imax theater.
After adjusting the straps to the correct size feels comfortable.
I still have some more testing to do but overall I'm happy with it.
Ps. My note 4 is from tmobile.
