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.

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!

How is $9 for $16GB more cost effective than the almost 50GB's I have online for free?

Dropbox? 50gb...for 2 years...

Nice find! I travel with my Nexus and having the videos accessible from a USB drive on the airplane is great. Wifi on a plane is good for Facebook and email,nothing else.

I grabbed this app. I am new to Android so seeing how people can just make apps to actually add more hardware features is amazing to me.

It will return soon, the dev is just flooded with emails and wanted to put a stop to new users until he gets caught up.

can we directly read data in the usb? for example pdf files and media files?

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:

USB OTG

Dunno if any of you have tried it yet. Anyways it works, but does anyone know how big of a flash drive it'll support. I only had 2-4gb flash drives around to test.

should be at least 64GB but I would think even bigger if the drive in question was powered separately/externally
could you describe your usb otg setup?

I transferred files from my evolte to the one using a 16gb flash drive. My 2tb external is externally powered and worked fine on my evolte, I assume this will be the same.

Returning N3. Staying with N1.

I don't want this to turn into a flamewar thread. I like my N3 very much. It has certain deficiencies that work on my N1.
Specifically, On my N1, I am able to mount the SD card as a USB drive that is recognized by my PC and my laptop. I have been unable to figure out how to do that on my N3. It is recognized, but shows up as "Card" and "Phone". QuickBooks 2013 requires a drive letter to backup to. On the N1, I tap menu-->settings-->Wireless-->USB Utilities-->Connect storage to PC. Connect N1 to PC then touch Connect. That isn't possible on the N3, that I can find.
My SM-N900A is rooted so the drivers must be properly installed on my PC. There isn't any menu options like above on the N3. If anyone knows how, PLEASE post.
If I can't make this function work, this device will be unrooted and returned to the seller tomorrow.
The N3 has a great screen and very good battery life compared SIDE-BY-SIDE to my still active N1. But it seems that Samsung has dumbed down this device's capabilities as the device numbers progress. There are things my N1 will do that my N3 will not. That combined with the locked bootloader makes it impossible at this time for me to turn this device into the productive work machine that my N1 currently is.
Samsung's constant renaming of the internal and external memory is driving me nuts as well. Individual apps don't know where to backup to. EVERYTHING winds up in storage/emulated 0. The app devs have not been able to keep up with these constant changes so backing up data is useless.
Thank you for any help. My thanks also to designgears and chainfire for the ability to root this device. Maybe I'll see you for the N4.

Why open your sentence about not wanting to start a flamewar when you know that's exactly what will happen.
Anyhow, reading through your post, it seems like you have issues that 99% of the people buying a Note 3 won't care about or even notice. They are issues very specific to you.
So, keep your N1 if that makes you happy while other people will enjoy their N3's.

I have quickbooks pro plus 2014 and I'm able to back up data to mine. (I don't normally do that but I had to try it since you said it wouldn't)
Not sure what the issue is for you on that one, wish I could help.
I would return your Note 3 because you seem like you're more experienced with your Note 1 and that's what you are comfortable with.

Could you please tell me how you were able to backup your QB? Does it show your N3 as a drive? Please be specific as I would really like to keep this N3.
Thank you.

When I go to back it up I get a gooey interface vs. the old style drive selection. I'm not sure if that's a 2014 feature or not, I've always used the Intuit data backup. You just select your note 3 and then the card or phone...and backup from there. Not sure what's happening with yours.

I just found this on another forum about the drive letter. It's not the Note 3, but I'm sure it's the same thing for us as well.
The problem is that the SGIII (as with most Android 4 devices) does not connect as a USB Mass Storage device (Google dropped support for USBMS in Android 4). It connects as an MTP device instead and Windows does not see MTP devices as a mass storage devices, so as indicated by worwig, you don't get a device to connect to. That is why I've had to use resort to using webdav.

I don't see what your Note 1 can do that your Note 3 doesn't do ? Besides storage issues and Quickbooks I don't see what else you can have a problem with..like the other user said those problems seem more like personal issues...

As I said in my opening statement...I like my N3 very much. I asked for help and also listed some personal observations regarding how this device fits MY needs. You are correct, they are personal issues. Since I purchased this device to serve my needs, I am entitled to have a personal issue when those needs are not met for ME. The fanboy comments are not necessary. I'm sorry you are personally offended by my opinions of MY N3. As such, move on and disregard this thread please. If you have a helpful comment to make, please do it.
Thank you.

Whoa, My comments are no where near me being a fanboy first off.. seem like you got offended, not me. Have you tried the Note 2? Maybe it can suit your needs better than the N3

Can you just get a stick mount program. I know its 3rd party but the OG note is 16 gb while thr N3 is 32. You could allocate the extra space and still have the same space as the N1. I have the N1 also and can appreciate your thoughts but with the N1 becoming more dated everyday I think it would be at least worth considering more options before writing it off completely. Either way good luck with your decision!

I was unable to duplicate your results. I neglected to say my PC is Win7 Pro. I was able to find a work around. I am able to backup QB to my Documents folder on my PC and then move that backup to the card on my N3. Not as smooth as direct, but very do-able. That's my biggest problem solved. Thank you!

I own a dental office. I do full image backups daily and that is a lot of data to send to the cloud. Very expensive and rather inconvenient. I carry my last 3 QB backups from my home laptop on my phone because it is always with me 24/7. Phone theft is non-existant in my small rural town. This method seems to work well for me and avoids an unnecessary $200 monthly cloud storage expense. Also allows me to backup even if I don't have cloud access.

Just a thought about the drive letter issue. Have you tried simply remaining "phone" and "card" to letters like"E" or "F" on your PC? I know you now have a work around, just wondering if you tried that

Why not use Dropbox to store them for free? Surely your backups aren't that huge? I'm an IT guy for many doctor offices and dental offices as well. A free Dropbox account is plenty big to hold the latest 3 backups. Also intuit data protect isn't that expensive if you want to look at that option. There are a ton of other options you can have that can be free or very low cost to you. If you need help or want some advice feel free to PM me.

I've had this issue when copying alot of files (gigs at a time). I think it has to do with the time limit you set to lock your phone. Once the timer hits and your phone is locked (meaning you need to enter pin or lockscreen pattern to unlock), it'll disconnect the usb connection as well.
What I tend to do is every once in awhile, I'll tap the screen to make sure it stays on and unlocked. Haven't had this issue since then.
Hope that helps in your case.

It's just strange though. I never had this issue before. Also, it does this when trying to copy playlist files and it started doing it when trying to copy folders. Files were fine, but folders weren't. So weird.

Are you using the OEM USB cable for your transfer? I've got several micro USB cables but only one of them works reliably (the OEM one). It's also possible the OEM cable is going bad if you've had it a while. Maybe you have some extra cables you can test it with?

Surprisingly, I was using it. I used the cable from my EVO 3d for the longest time without issues, but as soon as use the OEM one I start having issues.

Themes and ...battery health

Good evening eveyone...being themeing for about a month and i really liked it ...
at least 90% of themers uses ADB i think...
but ADB connects to USB
but usb charges the phone...
Is that healthy for battery?
being charged even it's level is 60%....
will my battery be ruined if i use ADB about 2 hours a day,3 times non-continiously??

Not really sure why it would? Most USB ports also provide power for said device, so in theory it should be transferring data through a different pin.

Good point. Although I believe the amount you are using keeps it from actually over charging if that makes sense? At least I hope anyway otherwise I too have been killing batteries
