Is it possible to copy videos stored on n10 to an external SD card?
1) Hook both the the N10 and the SD card up to your computer and copy.
2) Use Stickmount and an OTG cable to copy them.
Thanks, but, looking for a direct solution without use of a computer.

Then use Stickmount with an OTG cable. Plug an SD Card reader into the OTG cable and put your SD Card in it.

I actually have an issue with the SD card - i'm not able to write to it. It is mounted through stickmount and is shown in any explorer ( but not in the storage though) however I can't write to it (nor it is showing the content). I can 'read' the content using Nexus media Importer, but that's pretty much it
Any suggestions?
(i have rooted nexus 10)
Use FAT32 as filesystem. If you intend to store large videos (>4GB), you will have to split them into multiple linked files (using MKVtoolnix for example).
Is FAT32 the recommended way to go with sdcards as a general rule, or just in the OP's case?

fat32 is the read and write format for otg and ntfs is read only. So ya I would recommend fat32.

Well this sucks. I cannot copy large files onto the MicroSD (Like a hidef MKV movie). I tried NTFS and exFAT and it will not read them.
WTF asus! Why include something that does not function fully!
Transfer via network share, or mount the tablet on your computer

Err. I want the movies on the card not the TF memory. The whole point of the card is to allow for storage of files I do not want to keep on the TF.
Use a hard drive
I just checked out a movie on my WD 500 gig hard drive. Worked perfectly, just plugged the drive into the dock and it mounted right away. If I wanted I could then copy it to my Transformer and delete after use or watch from the drive.

Uhh. Does it work in the tablet. I formatted a 8gb microSD to ntfs and my tab couldn't read it. I must admit it has been at least a month since I tried that. Is the ntfs support something new?

Hmm I swear I tried that when I had a windows comp and couldn't get android to recognize the card when it was formatted as NTFS. Ill have to borrow a friends computer to try again.

Mine has also worked from Day 1(beginning of June) with ntfs.
I was actually worried, as windows vista(the only computer I had with a sd slot) doesn't give you the option to format as fat32 without extra work. But since the ntfs worked, I've had no problems since.

I did it a couple weeks ago on 8GB microSD. Put in Ubuntu LINUX box and deleted partition, recreated under LINUX as NTFS. However, I did not test in my TF101, because it was for another project.
Good luck.

So you did not test on the TF. So your post seems a bit pointless?
Also for those it works please can you state what brand/size and what sector size you used to format to NTFS etc.

Again another kind of pointless post. Who cares if it works from your hard disk plugged into the dock? I don't carry my dock and hard disk everywhere. The whole point is to be able to use the MicroSD. I am not interested in how well your hard disk works with your dock. Anyone can do that. Sorry but I find these types of reply very frustrating to read.

Yes I used a card reader and formatted it NTFS in my Win7 machine, and did this long ago so no it's not new.
ntfs is not supported out of the box. You need a special kernel.
Most custom roms have it. Or you can format it into ext, but windows doesn't support it, so it won't be able to read it when you put it into cardreader.

Being able to format a microsd card in ntfs is not in question here. I just spent the last hour testing formats.
I used a Sandisk 8gb microSD HC card.
Test 1. Formatted card with NTFS, verified format, copied an mp4 file to the card, stuck it into the microSD card slot on the TF. No joy.
Test 2. Formatted card with FAT32, verified format, copied same mp4 file to the card, stuck it into the microSD card slot on the TF. Well wuddaya know. Works fine.
My conclusion. A microSD card formatted in NTFS will not work in the microSD slot on the TF.
Go figure. Bet somebody will tell me it will work in the dock. Which I don't own so it doesn't apply.
Thank you

Now we are getting somewhere. I really appreciate your short explanation of how it can work. Wish your post was a couple of hours earlier. But hey, I like experimenting. Not ready for rooting yet though.
I'm using Prime 1.6 v2 and it does not read NTFS?

Actually it does not work', so i wanted to know how to mount this external sd card reader as an USB hard drive if possible
Assuming you are rooted, snag a drive mount tool and try to mount it from there.
What brand is it?
I have a cheap GE card reader that works. # 97942
Maybe not all card readers are supported.
And you don't need to mount it, if it works it works.
Does it light up?
Do you have a file manager?
With my card reader I have to first put the card in the reader then plug it into the usb. If I plug in the card reader with no card in it and then insert a card in it it does not even come up as usb_storage.
So try putting the card in first and plugging in the USB.
Then it lights up and flickers which means it is reading what is on the card.
Then in my file manager, (file manager HD) I click storage on the left then click the up arrow on the top right. Then I see the usb_storage and click on it.
Hey there im new here on XDA but I was wondering if its possible to run Apps through stickmount using my flash drive or would I need an SD card + adapter to be able to run apps directly. Also gameloft games download an additional 2GB or so depending on the game would this download to the flash drive and be playable from the drive itself or would I need an SD card reader + SD card in order for it to work on my nexus 7 that I preordered.
editff-topic I also wanted someone to direct me on how to add a custom signature to my posts here on XDA. Thanks

anyone?
You cannot run apps through stickmount. it is only for accessing data media and other types.
all apps and app data must be on the internal memory.
Card reader
Thanks but you can run apps from an SD card. If I used my OTG cable with a SD card reader attached with a 16GB sd card will I be able to store and use my apps from there in my Nexus 7?

No, it's not a "True" SD Card, it still acts like a flash drive.

So essentially no way of running apps from outside flash storage what so ever? Just movies, pictures and files?

correct.
The internal memory setup emulates an sd card by adding an /sdcard directory.
there is no way to have another directory with that name and all apps are coded to store their information in the /sdcard directory. doing it any other way would break the app for all devices.
i can sure understand why you'd want to do that, but basically it's not possible.
best thing i can recommend is to keep all of your videos on external storage since those are the largest files you'll have.

Just thinking out loud here, but is it possible to rename the internal SD directory? I'm guessing no being that something so conceivably simple hasn't already been done.

Since you are already rooted you could always try this app it may give you the results you require. Bearing in mind that this was originally developed for the S2.

SD cards are too slow to run graphic intensive games (especially THD or Gameloft)
I am having issues with the following setup on my Nexus 7. I have the eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and the elago Mobile Nano I USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader. I have tried two microSD cards, one 32gb and one 64gb and I am unable to copy files to the card using both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. It says that the copy failed. I have tried formatting the as exFat, NTFS and FAT32 and no luck. Anyone out there experience this?
Thank you in advance,

You're missing a piece of the puzzle. If rooted, you should install Stickmount, which mounts external storage using the OTG Usb cable. I use it to read/write and stream media from a 32Gb microsd card using FAT32. Some custom kernels or roms natively support mounting, but I'm just stock, rooted, 4.2.1.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am rooted and I was already using Stickmount. I am able to mount both the 32gb and 64gb cards and see the content on them and access the content on them but I can not copy anything to either card when connected to the Nexus 7. Any other things I can try?
It appears that I need to have the card formatted to FAT32 in order to be able to copy to the card from the Nexus 7. Does this sound correct or is there a way to get the card formatted to NTFS or exFAT?
Some custom kernels and custom roms support NTFS, but I'm just using FAT32 which works perfectly unless you need support for files over 4Gb. Easiest way to get it to work is to just format your storage with FAT32.

this is correct. android reads, but doesn't support writing to NTFS or exFAT natively. some kernels add ntfs-g, which does give you write access, but it's buggy at best.
Hi all, I just got my Note 3 N-900 Exynos few days ago and I decided to root it. Before it's rooted I can transfer big size files (100mb-700mb) to my internal/external SD card without any problem. But after it's rooted now I can't copy files around those sizes anymore. Anybody know what's wrong and got the solution for this issue? Any help will be much appreciated.

If you typically use USB 3.0 then it might be the 5 minute timeout. Try a large file with USB 2 and see if it completes.
Frank
What do you mean? I just plugged in the stock usb that came with the phone to my pc and copy-paste the files. Not sure whether it's the 3.0 or 2.0 usb. When I paste it suddenly the explorer force closing.

I would try a SD Card reader from Best Buy, you should have no problem transferring files with the card out of the phone. it plugs into the computer similiar to a flash drive, and you can access the micro card with a reader.

Yes I do have a micro sd card adapter so I can plug it in to my pc as a removable disk. But it's annoying that I have to unmount my sd card, take it off my phone, put in in the adapter and then plug it in the pc everytime I want to transfer files to my phone.

No I didn't format both internal and external sd card. You think formatting them is a possible solution for this issue?

You wont format the internal, just the external. I can only tell you it worked for me, make a folder for your files, move them off the card, format and put them back on
