hi, is anyone using freedom pop with their nexus 7? it seems like an easy (and free!) way to get mobile data on the tablet. i guess you would need the little hotspot device, so it's two things to carry and charge.

I actually managed to use the usb stick with an OTG cable. It just worked without any configuring.

Nexus7+ Galaxy Nexus on plan
Have query in regards to not being very familiar with using wifi, and with tethering a tablet to a phone.
Have GSM Galaxy Nexus on 2Gb monthly plan and being given a Nexus7 for Christmas. I figured they would make a good pair.
What I want to know is how quick will my Galaxy Nexus battery drain if I am tethering the tablet, or is it unlikely that I will really use the tablet like that often. I just figure as I am reasonably new to smartphones and never had a tablet, I could do with some advice about how they typically get used so I can purchase the Nexus& with Sim slot if that is recommended.
So far as I can tell, I will probably mostly use the tablet at home when the phone is plugged in, and if I do want to use the tablet out and about, I should be able to get a couple of hours tethering out of the phone battery anyways. I have only purchased the wifi version at the moment (only one available) but I would like to hear what some more experienced people have to say about this. Do I really need mobile data on my tablet?
Am I going to be kicking myself for a fool later if I do not get it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
As the title says sometimes when I try and move files from the Nexus to my external HD using OTG cable and stickmount pro the Nexus will just freeze up and i have to disconnect the OTG cable and restart the Nexus, the files I'm trying to move are all less than 500MB so i cant understand why this is happening, anyone any assistance?

Are you using an external hd with its own power source? There may not be enough current to maintain the hd during large transfers.
Use an OTG cable with stickmount pro, all my files show up shortly after connecting and i have transfered music on the Nexus but probably one around 150MB max, the problem seems to be when I go and move files around 500MB it looks as if it is transferring but the screen goes dark and won't turn back on, and I have to take the OTG cable out and reboot the Nexus

I have come to the conclusion that I need a better OTG cable, maybe the one I have isn't powerful enough, I cannot think of anything else, unless anyone else has any tips?

Am I correct in saying that OTG cables will not work with an unrooted device? I've google'd around a bit and that is the conclusion I've come up with. Please someone prove me wrong and tell me how to get it to work without rooting.

I think it is a mixed bag depending on the type of device. For instance, I don't know why a standard USB keyboard wouldn't work with a stock, unrooted tablet. Hard drive or USB key, though? Perhaps not without root.
The USB Media Importer app claims that it doesn't need root (but then I also see some ymmv comments about Nexus 7 and 4.2.2 there). I haven't used this app so I can't say one way or another. Maybe someone that has can add some commentary.
For storage I think otg access to read is available without root with a few 3rd party apps but to write to them I think you need to give them root access.
Other usb devices would depend on if drivers are in the rom/kernel.If it says it works with linux it usually works for android devices.

Thank you guys. I just would like to be able to transfer files via USB stick if I could without having to alter my Nexus.

I remember seeing things like this that converts a iPod to iPhone.

Is there a similar one for Nexus 7?
I bought my Nexus 7 when it just came out, and I don't want to spend more just to get the 3G version...
I have seen anything like that.
Get a 3g USB dongle and otg cable, it should work. There are couple of threads about this already, have a look around.
The only way I can imagine such a case is such dongle, just packed into mass of silicone to fit the n7, and that I have never seen, even market for that isn't big enough to be worth developing.

Or perhaps a portable hotspot? I'd love if yourkarma.com was available in my area, unfortunately it's not.
Just like the microsd but with 3g. But a hotspot should be better, easier and more battery friendly

Just thought I would share what I found. Not sure if I will get in trouble for this but if you go to bestbuy's website and paste this at the end
site/samsung-usb-connection-kit/2837365.p?id=1218363393359&skuId=2837365
It brings you to a link of a usb host piece that is compatible with all samsung devices. I am thinking of buying one to test it out and would be happy to report back if it does work.
I bought the that Meditato posted. I can confirm that it works. Only prob I ran into tho is when removing the power and plugging it back in, the keyboard connected/disconnected flashes back and fourth. The keyboard does work while its doing that...
