included with the case.
Once you get the case, can you comment on how much bulk it adds? I've been seeing that case everywhere, but I'm concerned it'll pretty much negate the N7's slimness...
I will, I'm hoping it's not much myself

I JUST read that the nexus 7 does not have usb on the go aka USB HOST.
Which makes that memory card and host cable useless unless you find a rom that will enable it. CM9 coming for nexus 7? Hopefully!

Root + Stickmount.
what about one mobile power? also known as exteral battery charger/power bank. designed to charge cell phones and lots of usb devices. very handy and helpful when you are outdoor.
hope it helps~
The case you got seems to be the cheapest alternative for us Canadians. I've seen a few for Americans (through Amazon) that are less than $10. Sucks that we can get owned North of the border most of the time...

More likely than not you will need an external power source. A powered HUB is something to consider.
Only powered Hard drives work.

i tried doing this with my Nexus 7 and all it did war start to power up the hard drive and then disconnect repeatedly so there isn't enough power in the nexus 7, i doubt there will be in the 10 when I get it... but i will try lol
Actually, I attached my Samsung 2,5'' 1tb HDD today to my new nexus 10 (writing on it right now btw), and it powered up. Sticky Mount recognized the HDD, though I wasnt able to access it without root permission... Got the tablet early this morning
Get Nexus media app. No root required and you can use hard drives

I thought the nexus 7 didn't have usb OTG host capabilities built into the stock rom. Although it might not be the best comparison, but my toshiba thrive powers hdds just fine.

Did you use any specific otg cable or will any do?

I can confirm that the WD My Passport for Mac (500GB) was able to be powered by my Nexus 7, with a cheap chinese OTG cable, without any issue whatsoever.
Can't say if it will also work with a Nexus 10 or not, but I would assume there would be no issue.

used an ordinary 2€-ebay-OTG cable... didnt try media importer yet, want to save 2,30€ and wait till root.
I can confirm that Nexus Media Importer by Homeysoft worked with a generic USB OTG cable and a couple of USB drives I had sitting around. I don't know if there is a free alternative but this one seemed to work.
EDIT: Just to clarify the Nexus Media Importer worked with my Nexus 10. I had not seen a confirmation against the actual N10 so figured I would confirm.
Nexus Media Importer verified to be working with OTG USB cables.
For those who do not have root or do not want to root. Please consider getting Nexus Media Importer as an alternative. Works like a charm.
Hope this helps!
Is this media importer allows playback with say BS Player, whatever. In other words, to play content from the USB without moving the file to the device.
I have root access, as well as Nexus media Importer
Can't seem to mount and USB drives in afile manager for general file transfer though. NMI does import media files though.
so is the idea here that you could use the n10 to power a hard drive and I could put some movies on it and play em? mp4's for example?

Hopefully simultaneous charging + OTG w/ external HD will be a possibility.
Hey people!
I have a Nexus 10 and I just ordered a Nexus 4, but the only thing that had been putting me off of it is the 16gb storage limit. I want to use my phone as an mp3 player and I want to use it in the metro, so no internet streaming possibilities.
I've been looking for solutions for a while and I found one, and since the N10 has a limited storage as well, I figured I'd share it
I bought a Gauntlet Patriot Node last week and received it today. (Note: I'm not affiliated with them in any way ) and I was wondering if I could use it as an extension to my tablet's storage. Basically, it's a hard drive enclosure that converts a 2.5'' drive into a battery-powered wi-fi hard drive.
Long story short, yes.
The app it comes with is pretty average, it lets you look at the files and everything, but it doesn't allow you to create playlists/listen to songs one at a time, so if you want to listen to music, you have to pick an individual song and then pick another one once it's done.
However, I ended up setting up ES File Explorer's LAN capabilities to use it with the node. I can now explore the node folders with it. Furthermore, ES' music player works great, and I can easily select one folder and make ES play it all, shuffle the stuff, etc.
Now, I know it's not the best solution ever and it's quite pricey, but I know the limited storage has been quite a pain for me, and I am probably not the only one. Such a device makes it really easy to expand storage and to move around with said expanded storage.
I also know I haven't been able to find much information when I looked for it, so I'd be glad to help anyone who has some!

Very true, should've thought about it. I cannot post any links however, as I don't have 10 posts yet
It's quite a small device, I'm guessing it's around the size of a 5'' phone, but it's around an inch thick.
The device cost me 95$ on Newegg.ca, and I got a 320 WD hard drive with it for 50 bucks.
Seagate has a mobile wifi hard drive as well, but it's priced at 200$, and some other brands do them as well but they're quite expensive. The node seemed like the cheapest way to me.

I'm looking at the Ravpower, I hadn't seen it. Though as far as I can see, it takes SD cards as memory?
I'll be posting more as I get more use out of my node, I only got it today, so I obviously am still in the honeymoon phase. I should be receiving my nexus 4 tomorrow, so I'll be able to take it for a ride as well (though I'm scared of leaving the house with the n4 without a cover, which should be delivered on the 18th...)
I'm really fond of the fact I can put a hard drive of up to 2tb in the device though. Obviously, I'll never use that much, but it's a great idea.
My main gripe with it is that it can't connect to a hidden wi-fi, so I can't connect to our home's through it. Not that big of a deal though, as I mean to use it as an extension on the road anyways.

It's smaller as well, so I'm sure to many it would be more practical. Also, the ability to use an SD card or a flash drive is great, I can already see the music jump because my hard drive bounced in my bag.
Oh well, nothing's perfect :victory:
By the way, it took me a long time to figure out how to set my drive to work the way I wanted it to, and I just realized that while looking online, the article that gave me the idea to try ES file explorer came from you, I had read your thread without realizing it. So thanks for that

I have not used it out yet, my brother didn't wake up when the UPS dude came home, so I won't be getting my N4 before tomorrow. Since my galaxy W has an SD card, I am still using it, so I can't confirm the battery time, nor how different parameters (connecting to wifi through it, for example) affect it. The specs sheet says 5.5 hours, however, and the cables are quite easy to carry around.

Not in Canada, sadly Great to know however, if anyone's interested in it.
I've played with it a bit more today, and it is really slow if you want to play with the files on it via the wifi. However, with an usb 3.0 cable, it's as fast as you'd expect.
I just purchased the Seagate Wireless Plus from Best Buy for $199.99 (seems to be the same price on Amazon, B&H or wherever you buy it). It's USB 3.0, just a little bigger than the typical portable, and has a 1TB SATA drive. It sets up its own wifi hotspot that you can connect to with any wifi-enabled device (Android, IOS, Windows, Mac). There's a downloadable app for Android and IOS to access the drive, and Windows and Mac use a browser. It's capable of multi-user streaming--3 users can stream their own movies at the same time. It claims up to 10 hours battery life, but, of course, that depends on what it's being used for, and how many people are using it at once. I've only tested it very briefly, but I was able to connect a Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Transformer Infinity, Surface RT, Windows 8 desktop and Windows 8 laptop. It worked well over a distance of about 25-30 feet (it may have a greater range, but I didn't test it for maximum range)
Edit: it has a pass-through so that you can connect to the drive and the internet at the same time.

Is it at all possible to connect to it through the likes of ES file explorer as it appears can be done with the node, or does it HAVE to be via their own app? The seagate plus does tempt me but the deal breaker is it's inability to stream most of the mainstream video formats. Without the ablity to stream them, and being forced to copy them across to the device, the seagate plus is useless to me.
I am once again tempted by the node, battery life is not too important to me, as i don't take it outside with me that much and tend to have a wall plug available, but i like the notion of using it with ES.
The ravpower holds no interest to me. If it had a harddrive built into the thing it would, but i want just a single box that does it all, SD and flash card is irrelevent to me as well seeing as i have an OTG cable.

The Ravpower is actually a very sensible option. It's cheaper and it holds flash data. If you're on a trip, every time the hard drive will bounce, so will the data on the screen. It's also much smaller.
It's a matter of portability VS capacity

An otg cable is attatched by a cable, hence the name, and i do not really like even having my otg cable hanging off the tablet due to potential damage to the por. The node or seagate are wireless. Very different things. It also means that the tablet itself is powering the harddrive, and while i do not know any figures, i assume that powering a harddrive uses more battery than streaming something over wifi. I could be wrong on that. Furthermore a portable harddrive cannot easily be connected to two or more devices on different sides of the room at the same time.

If i were to use the ravpower it would not be with a flash drive. I already have a 32gb flashdrive that can plug into my tablet. If i were to use the ravpower it would be for a 1tb harddrive, in which case i would still experience this "bounce", although i've never in the past experienced this bounce when using a mechanical disk. any travelling i do that would see me using my tablet is on a motorway, or a trainline. There is no bumping around. Plus the ravpower is not much smaller once you have a portable harddrive attached. Then you have two devices that might have to be kept in bay by say rubber banding them together, and you also have a cable from the harddrive to keep at bay. The node or seagate is a simple box. Nothing more. I want things kept simple and clean.
The only appeal the ravpower might hold is as a battery pack, but it is not a significant selling point for me in my situation.
Very simply put, the ravpower does nothing for me, what i want is simply a single box that does it all over wifi.

Then it's between the Gauntlet (either the node or the one with a drive in it) and the Seagate... Though I hear Corsair is coming with something very good. I believe WD launched a wifi unit recently too. It's still a very early technology and is far from optimal, but as it develops, I'm sure we'll get some amazing results in the next years.

The Seagate will stream whatever video formats you put on it; it's basically just a regular NTFS hard drive. The only limitation as to formats rests entirely on the device you're streaming to. If, for example, you're streaming a .mov file to a device that does not natively support .mov, then it won't play, at least not without a third-party app.

Hmm. I have just read a lot of controversial stuff about the wireless plus and the goflex satelite
"The app on both iOS and Android look virtually identical. It features media players for Mp4 movies and music files. As long as you have your files in this format, things are golden. Fighting me tooth and nail, the player would not run my .avi, divx ot .mkv files."
so this inability to play avi files is due to the nexus not being able to natively play avi files and not the seagate device itself? I have close to 2000 films backed up as 700mb avi's, hence why i'm still looking around for something that suits my needs.

It plays .avi and mkv files on the Nexus 10 with no problem. Just load them onto the drive from your computer, log on to the Seagate wifi hotspot and then access the movies using the Seagate app. As far as I know, the app does nothing more than access whatever is on the drive and streams it to your device; after that, it's up to the device's capabilities..
I couldn't be happier!
Its the eForCity brand Micro USB OTG cable.
Believe me, buy it online from Best Buy for $5, it's WELL worth the extra $4, and it came within 4 days for me, compared to the $1.50 one on Amazon that takes weeks to get to you.
Right now, I'm typing this out on a generic Logitech keyboard, I just finished using a PS2 controller with a Super Joy Box Pro 5 adapter on ePSXe, N64oid and Neo.emu emulators, works flawlessly.
My only gripe are the Analog sticks, they don't feel natural because it's mapped digitally instead of Analog.
I'm going to get the Media Importer and Stick Mount and test those out.
All in all, if you're going to get an OTG cable for your Nexus 7, get this one, professional build quality, low cost (even outside Amazon, $5 within a week and you know what your getting,) and high compatibility.

I bought one of those from eforcity. Used it with both my GS4 and nexus 7. Worked, but the cable was a bit flimsy and after a while the cable broke on one of the inside wires as it wouldn't always work properly - wasn't worth the effort to cut and solder for me.
Anyhow- I bought two other OTGs from Monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=9724&seq=1&format=2 ) for relatively the same price. The cable is a bit thicker and as a result seems a bit more sturdy- better quality, in my opinion. For me, shipping was actually faster than advertised, but it shouldn't take long to get them delivered. Anyhow, just offering up another option...
