[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
LOL I actually saw one of those for iPhone before...

I agree with external charger, will definitely come in handy.

ROM wise, any of them should be good, but its better to stay off ICS+.

GB is guaranteed stable for the Glacier, best battery life too.

Lol wasn't thinking about him being at a camp site. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if a camp site did have a free wifi
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Thank God sckboy and I aren't the only one's around here who think ICS has the best battery life.

GB ftw.

Not that I'm not rocking JB right now, because I totally am. However, when I need stability, full functionality and battery life out that wazoo... Gingerbread.

Hey, i told him to use cm7 too. But I haven't had a crash on cm10 port yet
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poexone:
My play music has been crashing and now I am upset that I can't use it at all. That was my main source of music. I can't even load it. Force closes as soon as I start it. I need to use the offline mode to save songs for camping.

I cleared cache. Set permissions and re flashed the newest gapp as well. Still crashing. Can't even load play music.

Oh well. Airdroiding songs to SD now.

I should flash cm 7 honestly but doesn't it take a couple of days for a new rom to normalize? I leave tomorrow and icecoldRossi is amazing battery life with frosted cherry now.

Technology ugh....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poexone:
Oh I also know that play music only allows a certain amount of devices authorized. I have my desktop, laptop, nexus one and my touch. That's one less than the required amount.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synthetic.Nightmare:
If you feel like your battery life with that is well enough, go for it then; just because everyone says cm7 will get you the best battery life, doesn't mean your phone will agree. Oh and the play music thing is an app problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoojywg:
Pretty much anything non-sense by TDJ. I swear everything I've gotten at least 3 days with use on every one of his roms/kernels.

I've even gotten 2 days on DARKSIDE sense. But it's always a good idea to keep an external charger if you're going to be gone for a while. Whenever I go on a business trip, even though I know that there will be available outlets, I always keep an external charger in case anything happens. Plus, it's always nice to not have to stick around a wall when you're charging your phone and have to use it at the same time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poexone:
Just wanted to update ... iceColdRossi lasted me 4.5 days on airplane under clocked. My nexus one with miui v4 rom under clocked lasted 6 days on airplane mode. I got back home with 10% left . Pretty much the whole trip.

I played music every night for about 2 hours while bar tending with both phones.

18% off on Verizon and AT&T ftw!!! I don't even know why i picked tmobile lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Because you'd need a hell of a lot more than 18% off of Verizon to match t-mobile's prices?

We won't talk about AT&T. I don't consider those smug, theiving scumbags an option. They can go make love to themselves.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poexone:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
I agree with everyone who's said use a external charger or battery. Get an extra battery to take with you if you think that'll last.

When I went camping for a week, the only way I made it was with my 18,000mAh USB power bank. Of course, I was required to keep my phone on a lot, to be available for family, so my battery had more usage than yours would experience probably.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] ExploreMN:
Will an OTG cable work with stock, or do you need to root and/or have custom firmware?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Cl8rs:
Depends on what you are using it for, mouse/keyboard/game controllers(I think) do NOT need root. A flash drive or hard drive DOES need root, in which you can use StickMount.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lin013190:
I wonder too.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ExploreMN:

Haha - saw this too late. Already redid everything after rooting. My OTG cables should be here soon. I'm planning to use one "as-is" and the other one I'm going to see if I can mod into my case. I ordered a keyboard case and I'm going to shoot to find some room in there where if I strip down the cable and put a microSD adapter on it I should be able to hide it somewhere!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] LordJohnWhorfin:
Thanks!

Wish I had seen your post before. I ordered OTG cables from Amazon, they were cheap but I realized too late that they were shipping from Hong Kong so who knows when I'll be getting them...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ImaWinRAR:
something to watch out for... due to the N7's bezel, the OTG cable i purchased does not insert all the way. since its impossible to know yourself, buy ones tried by other members. i have to buy another.. sigh..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] live4nyy:
I use the Motorola Camera Connection Kit cable found

HERE

, which was shown by @sleeplessninja

HERE

.

It is much more expensive then the generic ones but I feel it is better quality.

I use it for keyboard/mouse (use at the same time with USB hub) and a PS3 controller, I actually use a Nyko 3rd party PS3 controller and works fine. All of them work with the N7 out of the box (stock, locked, and not-rooted).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Se7enLC:
I got the one from eForCity for my Galaxy Nexus (sold on NewEgg, but amazon has them, now, too). It works on the Nexus 7, too.

Should be this one. Much cheaper now than when I ordered mine! http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...e=UTF8&qid=1343765093&sr=8-1&keywords=USB+OTG

[Nexus 7 Accessories] jrmatics:
That's the one I bought and it doesn't insert all the way in my nex 7... weird... only way I got it to work is if I forcefully hold it in so I stopped trying to use it
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lin013190:
Do you need to root in order to use otg?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] PROlific666:
Yeah and then get a app called stick mount from the play store.

PSA if you pull the cord out with the screen off it will turnoff the device and then only a long (20 second) press will turn it back on . It wont do anything it wont even show the charging symbol. I thought I had killed my n7 last night but when I got it back on I did it again to see if that was what did it and it was confirmed. Hopefully this can be fixed.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bennor3814:
Have two USB-OTG cables on order, only one has come in to date. Ordered both on July 26, both shipped (per email from Amazon) on July 27. The cable that arrived today (August 6th) was this one: SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG(On-The-Go) Cable Adapter for Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100

Still waiting for this cable to arrive: SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable Flash Drive SD T-Flash Card Adapter FOR Samsung GT-i9100 i9100 Galaxy S II 2 GT-N7000 Galaxy Note

I have posted to the External Storage Device Compatibility Review thread my initial finding on what works and what doesn't with this particular cable. The SANOXY USB 2.0 Female to Micro USB Male OTG(On-The-Go) Cable Adapter for Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 cable worked for most items but needed to use a powered USB hub for external hard drives and for USB keyboard/mouse.

The cable as received is shorter than the one pictured by Amazon. See attached pictures.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jrmatics:
Ok this is my set up so far.

The OTG cable didn't insert all the way so I cut back the housing around the micro USB male and now it works. Just until the other cables I ordered comes in. Everything works great. The USB hub is 3.0 and backwards compatible, and the USB flash drive is 32gb 3.0 backwards compatible also. The sd card reader/writer is also 3.0.. I order a foldable keyboard from amazon today should receive it tomorrow

[Nexus 7 Accessories] audiobookman:
I thought i would post this up as i really don like the idea of having a otg cable connected to the only port on the machine (with my luck i would snap it off in the machine, not technically nexus 7 assessory but very cool none the less.

I purchased the airstash as i own the very nice nexus 7 and the one x, it really started to annoy me that i couldnt pop in a sd card.

Airstash solved this problem for me, i have in car cam and need access to the files - on my old desire hd and moto milestone it was easy to pop the card in, but being a gadget freak i had to have the latest and greated and got the hox.

BIG MISTAKE not having removable sd card :(.

The Airstash is a little bit bigger than an normal usb stick (about the size of a 3g dongle), you can put in sd cards including the new sdxc cards (full size but a sd adaptor solves the issue with micro sd) then the machine will create a mobile network you can log into and stream or download files from.

Ive been testing it for about a week now and am very impressed with the results ive been getting.

Airstash quote around 7 hours for video streaming, ive been getting this and usually more, ive hit 10 hours a couple of times. The stream is identical to a saved file locally, when you select a file it opens a pop up given you an option to select the player you want to use.

MX, mobo, and dice have all worked fine for me.

The current app is still in early stages so dosent have the extras that the crapple product have but they are coming, the biggest thing is it can latch onto your home network so you still have internet when using the device, atm you cannot surf at the same time but they have said its coming soon.

Another problem ive found is for some reason bluetooth kills the connection - ive contacted airstash to see if that be resolved, videos will cut off and generally stall but as soon as the bluetooth is turned off it plays fine.

Another glareing issue is it only supports fat and fat 32, so hd videos will have to be split. hopefullly they will eventually add ntfs or ext 3/4 support in the near future.

Ive not tested music as i use google music now.

Overall its one of the best gadgets ive purchased in an age, ive got it set up in my bag and leave it on all day. If you can find one at a reasonable price then its the gadget to get. Ive managed to get it to stream sd video to 4 devices with no problems, airstash quote it can do 5.

i personally think its a much better option than having an otg cable even though it is a bit expensive

[Nexus 7 Accessories] ellessone:
I bought these same ones on Amazon after reading this thread. I am running stock rom, no modifications. I can only get it to read and recognize the files on my FAT32 flash drive(s) using the Nexus Media Importer App. As soon as I try to "stream" a video it either crashes or says "Video cannot be played". This is using 5 or 6 different players, all different combinations. The files are all MP4 files that play fine once I actually copy / paste to the device. This defeats the purpose, to me anyway.

TL;DR - Files are recognized, cannot stream movies.

I went ahead and purchased two (2) of these hoping I can stream movies now.

Anyone having issues with Thumb Drives not Un-Mounting?

I noticed that if I mount a USB drive, it works fine. But if I play a movie or something, then go to unmount the drive, it never unmounts it?

Almost like files are not being released causing you to not be able to unmount it as it thinks the drive is in use.

IVSO® Nexus 7 Tablet Micro USB Host OTG Cable - Micro USB B/Male to USB2.0 A/Female OTG Host Cable for Nexus 7 (Black)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008WOXUKI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

This one works with the Nexus 7 Media Importer app. It fits in the socket well, works fine for detecting, streaming, and saving files. I tried it with JPEGs, an MP3 music file, an MP4 video file, a PDF, a .doc, and a .xls and everything went OK.

When you save JPEGs you can find them in /sdcard/Pictures. MP3s go into /sdcard/Music, and videos go, oddly, into /sdcard/Movies. Most non-media files go into /sdcard/Download. As another reviewer has pointed out, the angled plug is the wrong way round for using with the N7 in a stand so if you've got the space, you might want to copy music or videos onto the tablet to play them rather than streaming them.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] wjr002:
I bought one from ebay which specifically says "Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable For Asus Google Nexus Tablet 7 7" NEW". Tried it with both a Sandisk 64 GB USB stick and a USB Card reader with a 16 GB micro card inserted.

Cable says it is "For i9100 Galaxy SII OTG".

I don;t even get the LED on with both devices. Am trying with Nexus 7 media Importer. Have tried it both with the otg inserted and device off then starting up and by just inserting the cable with the device)s) plugged in an the Nexus on.

Do I have a cable that doesn't work, a dud cable or am I doing something wrong?

The device light should come on when it is plugged in?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] garryknight:
I had one like this, bought from Amazon. It works fine with my SGS2 but if I plug it into the tablet the light doesn't even come on. I've come across a few suppliers who either lie about Nexus 7 compatibility or who haven't even bothered to test the gear they're selling. It's my opinion that you've probably bought a dud.

Maybe we should start naming and shaming, if only to prevent others from being ripped off.

Hello Everyone, a quick easy question. i am trying to load Mattgrofs Rogers Razr ICS Leak. (CA). my phone is completely stock, so it would appear that i am to follow these instructions

1. download the leak .zip

2. copy it onto the Root dir of the sd card and place into /cache dir

3. download the free app (Rom Manager)

4. Run the leak.zip

i for some reason thought that this update could be installed without rooting the phone, but it would appear that i misread. so the phone MUST be rooted in order to install this leak.

so Question 2 becomes, which root should i use to root my Rogers 651.167.3331.XT910.Rogers.en.ca ?

Additional Information:

system version Rogers 651.167.3331.XT910.Rogers.en.ca

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
New to Android and searched but found no answer.

Could someone please explain the best way to prep a memory card for the S3?

Do I need to format it (in a certain way, FAT32 or otherwise), create dedicated folders for the kind of contents or just dump everything in there?

Does the phone create the folders?

I have read conflicting info about whether the S3 supports 64GB cards. Someone please confirm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
On stock the phone will support 64gb cards formatted with fat32 or exfat, SOME custom kernels support both but some only support fat32, for now.

As far as folders go the phone creates the ones it needs.

Basically just stick it in and go from there, its a pretty pain free process!

You'll manage fine.

As far as I know they are already formatted as fat32.
