[Q] USB storage possible? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I heard that it's currently impossible to use external usb storage. Is it possible/likely to ever happen? Would amazon have to release the drivers (by mistake) or could someone design them if they were dedicated enough. I'm not sure if I regret going with the 16 gb model to save $70.

Dedicated enough definitely possible....
And semi likely

Swap on internal storage?

Have you ever thought about swap on internal storage?
This would be 100mb for me, would it even be worth it?
Is it even possible?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Now the bootloader has been bypassed, so it is possible to have swap for X8. My suggestion is to wait for a good working kernel (as I see the developers working hard on it, so _maybe_ it will be ready at the end of the month), and then let the party begin

Oh I fully forgot about that, thanks
Now I'm definitely gonna buy a better Sd card (higher class and more storage)

exactly why i picked up the t-mo note right away. i'll keep it for a few months then jump ship when the note 2 actually gets released. t-mos signal is just so horrible in my area but i wanted a note

Humm... Everything I've read regarding the Note 2 expectations (from reputable websites), says the Note 2 will have a slightly larger BUT NARROWER screen (viewed in portrait mode).... A similar asthetic / screen ratio to the Galaxy S3.... Not sure about anyone else, but I hate that "qHD" aspect ratio... It just makes the portrait view too small IMO... Personally, I'm perfectly happy with the Note as it is
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
Here's my thought on the matter...I could care less that the N2 is being announce at the end of the month. I knew that before I bought my N1 and that is perfectly fine with me.
Samsung hoodwinked me once with the GS3 and the lack of UMS. I'm going to wait this one out and see where the dust falls with the N2. If the N2 supports UMS then I'll most likely upgrade when possible BUT I have a sneaky suspicion that it will end up being more like the GS3 and not support UMS.
Rose..... Not to sound like a complete idiot.... But what does "UMS" mean?

USB Mass Storage, the Note doesn't have either. There is mods to get around it, but the standard is MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
I thought the workaround for that was to select "USB debugging"? I haven't tried it, but it seems to work on the GS3?
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
No. Are you just assuming? I have had both phones and you need an app to enable ums, or have it cooked in like flapjaxxx roms.

Sorry but you do not know what your are talking about. Please stop.
The Note DOES have UMS. It is there, no mods required. It come from the factory that way and the phone has MTP too.
Heck I even did a write up on how to simplify the process of it down to a click.

No, you cannot use "USB debugging" on the Note if you want to use the (built-in by default) UMS feature. It will tell you to turn it off.
I would have never bought the Note had it been missing UMS. Just say no to MTP!
Sorry for the oversight..... I never use mass storage mode..... I have a Samsung USB dongle that I use just for plugging USB "thumb" drives into my Note..... Kies is just way too slow, so in that respect I can see where just copying straight from PC to Note would be much faster in mass storage device mode.... I just seldom use it and use my adapter instead (old habit from my GS2-days)

A few things have me lost with what you're saying. I don't know what the dongle is that you're talking about~how that works, and the GS2. Do you mean the Galaxy S II? If so, that has UMS also - no MTP.
Also UMS is used in almost anything with a USB plug/port. TV's, Car Stereo, PC's, DVD Players, Game Consoles. I also use my devices on these too.
Rosedog....
The "dongle" I'm referring to is a micro-USB-to-female-USB adapter. It lets you plug things like those tiny USB drives directly into your phone, so the phone will read the data and play (or copy) it directly to the phone. I call it USB hosting capability, while I've seen others refer to it as USB-OTG (USB-On The Go). The Galaxy S2 (GS2), Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy Note all have the USB hosting capability so they can read USB drives just like a PC can.... I use that feature almost exclusively, and rarely, if ever, plug my Note directly into a PC

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:

I know you have been very helpful in the p1000 thread, but I'm not trolling here, please don't bash me.
Actually does anyone feel that it is a manufacturing internal memory failure or we are just bunch of unlucky ppl who happened to have bought a tab with malfunctioning internal memory?
Sent from my Nokia 3310
Not bashing you. But just disagree with the estimation you put.
I think it more likely some percentage of units have chips that are bad.
Also, do they fail within warranty period?
In manufacturing it is not that easy to weed out bad parts.
Btw, there are threads talking about using external sd only.
Have you tried that? Apparently with class 10 cards, the tab performs relatively well.

your not the only one with that problem,as for me i just successfully recovered 210mb of my internal sd card,ddnt knew much of what i was doin so i ended up with a messed up tab,but cheer up,theres always hope for those who find ways

Ya I read around about using the external sd as internal memory. However I found ppl saying that some custom roms do not run well, so I just leave my tab aside and find the time to learn how to use the toolkit. Thanks for the info.

Planning on building my own USB hub Nexus 7 dock.

Hey guys, according to this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050380, given the right kernel and hardware setup, you can have a USB hub, mouse, keyboard, and a memory stick all powered off a charger that is also powering the Nexus tablet.
If this is true, then I am going to start working on a TRUE dock, one that would turn the Nexus 7 into a sort of PC.
See the attached image for a rough outline of how things would be setup.
For the body of the dock, I will 3d print it. I'm pretty good at 3d printing, my previous project (Andraxis, a cellphone mount for PS3 controllers) was probably much more difficult than this would be. Like that project, this will be open development where anybody can suggest changes, and eventually buy their own.
So here is what I need from you guys: Suggestions for USB hubs. I need something that is so readily available anybody could buy it, cheap enough they won't mind paying for it on top of what will likely end up being $40+ worth of a 3d printed case and USB cables, and of course, super small.
Let's make this happen guys!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is great. I might model my own dock, and create a prototype with a 3D printer.
Just use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? I assume you can use them both at the same time?
