When I connect my memory stick to my nexus 7 and go into the stickmount app and launch the mount option it says the mount service is busy and to try again - this has been for the last hour an the first time I have ever used the app, any solutions?

If you're having trouble with a Nexus 7 you're probably not going to get any device specific answer on the Nexus Q board.
Are you rooted?
Are you using an OTG cable?
Have you rebooted? (I know it's obvious and annoying, but it works for stuff).

i have been trying to connect my nexus to my Mac for about an hour now. it recognizes that it is hooked up to the USB, but i can't mount it.
anybody know how i can alleviate this issue

If it shows up on your desktop or in the finder then it is mounted.
Edit: you mean the phone sees that it is hooked up?
Mounts fine for me with my iMac. Just plug it in and on the phone choose to mount via USB. Then bobs your uncle.

reboot both. the only kernel panics (5 in 8 years) i've seen are from a corrupted sdcard and disk utility trying to interfere.
more information in your post would help.

Works fine on mine. Try one of the usb ports on the keyboard. Also when you plug the phone in USB does the android USB storage screen come up?
You need to press the enable USB button on that screen before Mac will recognize it.

Don't have an iMac but I do have two MacBooks (or I did before I sold my old MacBook two days ago) and both of them picked up my Nexus S fine. Oddly, though the new MacBook never could find the phone for ADB.
I don't have A usb port on the keypad...but when I connect it to the monitor I get the little android in my phone...I enable USB storage and he turns orange..!!!

And nothing happens on the computer? It should pop up a drive called NO NAME
Note that since Snow Leopard, the default setting in Finder is to not show disks on the desktop. You have to go in the Finder and look at the list of connected disks on the top left-hand column, you'll surely see it there.

are you sure? I'm running snow leopard and have no memory of changing that on either laptop. They both came stock with snow leopard.

I have a macbook with snow leopard. When I mount a drive it does not show on my desktop. I have to open finder to see it under devices. I don't know if it an option setting or not. In comparison my old Mac (before OSX) would show all drives mounted on the top under the Mac Hd Drive. Make sure you are setting your phone to connect also.
I have never had any problems on either PC or Mac.

Of course it's an option, and has been an option for as long as I have used OS X (since Tiger at the very least). Apple just changed the default in Snow Leopard.
kenvan19: if you don't see that as the default on both your Macs, could it be because you have migrated your users from previous Macs? The settings you had before would have been imported, and you would have never seen the new default...

Did you try another cable at all?
I'm really scared now, I'm in the same situation. I just bought a phone off eBay last week and I was told on the forum to try a new cable which I ordered and has yet to arrive.
The seller said it was "New-mint condition" mentioned nothing about a corrupt usb drive.
What can I do?? Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I really want to be able to transfer music to it.
Hello
I have the following issue. I bought an otg cable and it was able to mount my flash and mouse the first two times. Since then, it only gives a kick start and both my mouse and flash drive are powered down after 3 seconds. I tried them separately. To summarise the problem my nexus 7 does not give enough power to its microusb to be efficiently running an external device or the software recognizes it improperly and shuts it down.The cable works, since its been tried on 2 other devices. Now I wasn't able to find a proper solution to the problem so I'm asking if someone's dealt with such an issue. Running a rooted stock android 4.2.1

You didn't mention which app you are using to be able to mount external storage. It requires Nexus Media Importer (paid app, read/stream only) or the free Stickmount (requires root, provides read/write/streaming). A mouse or keyboard will work without root or either app, but mounting storage requires an external app or a custom kernel with built-in support.
I am using stickmount, and I'm sure it would do its job if I get the devices power for more than 3 seconds
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Any new ideas, perhaps a custom kernel ? Any recommendations
Have you tried to see what the app "USB Host Diagnostics" tells you when you try to mount?
It's from the same maker as stickymount, maybe that will give you some better insight at what's happening.
I would include a link but since I'm new on this forum it won't let me yet.

Hello there, yes I have tried it several times, but it could not discover any attached devices, since, as mentioned, the power to the external devices is cut off 3 seconds after the physical insertion. Said devices aren't powered, that's what bugs me. If somehow electricity reaches them, I would be somewhat relieved since the problem would apparently be from the os or software. Right now I cannot get power to the devices, that's why I cannot do any diagnostics. Any ideas on why that might be ?
I would try another OTG-usb cable. Perhaps yours is just enough out of spec it worked at first, but now fails, or it may have been damaged after the first uses. Maybe static shock or it got bent or something. I got one through Amazon delivered to me from Hong Kong for 65 cents (including shipping). It took 17 days to receive, but it works great. I don't know how they can make any money like that, but I'm happy.
Hi...
I'm having few issues with my N10 and I'm not sure if everyone face it...
My N10 sometimes reboots itself, when I'm listening to music or installing a new app or such...
I could not access any USB or HDD using nexus media importer, my otg works fine with nexus picture viewer...
I've heard that heating up on top left at back is normal for N10....
But is this reboot a hardware issue? And media importer is buggy or my android is? Stick mount can access my USB and such for 100% sure? Coz I don't wanna root my N10 for some more time...
And in between I'm getting that Greg WiFi where I get to use browsers but any apps...
Do you think my N10 is defective?

Probably it's an app running in background that is killing/rebooting your tablet, I'm Stock rooted and don't see any problems on mine

If you are rooted then try USB OTG Helper [root]. I have found this utility to be the best in handling a wide range of formatted OTG storage from SD cards to HDD (self powered). All with R/W permissions. The commonly quoted solutions just did not cut it.
If you are not rooted then check out "How to Root Nexus 10 on Win/Mac/Linux! [Step-by-Step VIDEO Tutorials]". Rooting even if you intend on sticking with the stock ROM opens up a world of options to resolve issues. Look at my signature links for other must have utilities (e.g. TWRP).
There are definitely reboot issues that all nexus10 tablets have, it hasn't been fixed by Google or Samsung yet. Look around the forums to see if the reboots are similar to what you are getting

Well I know its been talked about in the other threads of the possibilities. So now since we have the devices here, are proceeding with unlocking and rooting the devices. Has anyone had luck?
Sadly I do not have a OTG cable yet to test this but at least wanted to start somewhere.
Edit: Yes it is, see post below for link. Device needs to be rooted for it to work!
Says he was able, after root, to mount 2 drives simultaneously.

Brilliant! Thanks
Has anyone try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
It doesn't require root so it should be good for stock users.
I can confirm a stock non rooted N7 I threw in a USB flash drive and read files and played a movie real quick earlier just to see if it all worked, didn't try much more then that but can try some more tomorrow. Still busy transferring and reinstalling apps from old N7.
I cannot get Nexus Media Importer to work on stock. It reports all memory sticks as protected.
I have a non rooted stock nexus 7 2013. The media importer doesn't work for me also.

Now rooted using Stickmount, still not working. The drive can be seen but it seems only small files can be viewed, and you can't copy them or do anything with them. Non of my, larger, movie files show up.
I was able to copy a 3GB movie file from a flashdrive to the onboard memory with no issues. Maybe try a powered USB hub? I didn't have to in this case but it might help.
I tried to read an external hard drive and had to use a powered USB hub to even have it mount. Alas, couldn't read anything. Don't know if it's because the hard drive was formatted NTFS or because it was 750GB.
USB OTG Helper works for me. It also supports NTFS drives.

Can anyone tell if it's possible to to use OTG while wireless charging the device?
Need this for my car dashboard tablet replacement.
I think the problem with that would be that it would drain after than it charges. Qi charging doesn't have great amperage.

works for me as well, I am wondering if there will be a root flash-able mod like the original N7 had to turn OTG on.
Why does Google not allow OTG to be active out of box? Is the lure of trying force people into using the cloud that strong? Clouds drain more battery compared to local content and wifi connections do not have 100% coverage like local does.
The reality is the reason this device is priced at near break-even pricing IS the cloud, so this is why there is no SD slot or full OTG, out of box. Most people do not mod, so most people will be part of their cloud control strategy. I would rather pay $50 more and let Google make a profit on the device, that way I could have a micro sd slot and OTG out of box. Curse Google and their quest for content control and data mining! :silly:
Earlier I said it wasn't working, without knowingly changing anything both Stickmount and Nexus Media Importer now work. I am rooted and perhaps Stickmount is making NMI work.

Stick Mount works 100% fine for me, just watched a movie from my thumb drive. I am stock+Root. Open file system and on SD card look at the USB Storage folder if you are unfamiliar with Stick Root.

Yes and I also used it with a USB External HD and it worked fine there, too.
I had issues with OTG on my first N7 2013. It was a flaky connection and would go into a connect/disconnect loop and then just stop all together. I returned it and picked up a different. That one seems to work fine.
Stock, not rooted, and using Nexus Media Importer.
Some people may want to try rebooting their N7 as well.... If you look at the NMI app in the Play Store the developer knows there are a few issues with Android 4.3 when first using the app.
