Xperia Ray :: Connecting External Drive Via Micro-USB Port?
Jan 21, 2012
Is it possible -via an adequate wire- to connect an external drive to the Xperia Ray through the micro-USB port, and manage its content through a regular 'file manager' Android app?
It would be useful, for instance, for unloading your reflex camera memory while you're travelling!
My note 3 was able to access a second SD card through the micro USB port. I just tried to access an external hard drive that way. (with my LG g4) No luck so far. The G4 just doesn't see the hard drive.
I'm wondering if it's possible to connect am external hard drive to z3?Over seen others doing it on other android device. Got an otg cable, connected my hard drive but the phone isn't picking it up or I'm doing something wrong.
I bought a Blackberry Curve 8520 6 months ago, which is under a year-long warranty, from Carphone Warehouse. A month ago, the Blackberry stopped being able to charge so I took it into the shop and the phone was inspected, and I was informed the phone would be fixed under the manufacturers warranty and returned within 2 weeks. Exactly 2 weeks later I was told to collect my phone as it was fixed and it had been returned UNFIXED as I was told the damage was NOT covered by the warranty, after being initially informed it was. What has happened is one of the prong inside the micro USB port has broken off so the phone won't charge. This has also happened to a friend of mine, so surely it is down to faulty materials? I don't understand why this is not covered by the warranty.
I was wondering if Blackberry themselves would be able to fix my phone (as Carphone Warehouse are refusing to, unless i pay £170 - more than the phone is worth. I have taken this up further with them but have constantly received poor customer service and am not willing to deal with them anymore).
We are from Guadeloupe in French West Indies. Guadeloupe is a french overseas department, thus we are considered as european customers.
One of our N900 had his micro USB port broken like others cases in /t5/Maemo-Devices/Nokia-responds-to-reports-about-the-N900-micro-usb-port-getting/td-p/629019 So, 2 months ago, We went to the local Nokia Care Point (there is only one in Guadeloupe). We went today to this shop to have news about my mobile and, the guy explained me that the nokia's factory bring them up the phone and could'n repair it... He gave me back my phone, but he didn't give me back my poor little micro-USB port.
So, I have 2 questions : First : what are the solutions proposed by Nokia for the customers in French West Indies (Guadeloupe and Martinique) ? Second : why do you propose low quality services for us (comparatively with "normal" customers from France) ?
My daughter dropped her 9300 and broke the screen. A friend said if she got a new one on eBay he'd fix it, which he did. It appears whilst disassembling it to do so he managed to pull the micro SD reader, port, whatever it's called - off. Totally off, it is now no longer attached to anything and the pins it should have slotted onto were all bent out of shape. I tried to straighten them and they came off as well!Is this repairable or are we looking at a new phone?
My phones bottom gold pin on the micro usb charging port broke.Is this covered? My phone has not been abussed, it is over protected with an Otter Box Defender case. I took it back to US Cellular and they wanted $50-$150 bucks to fix it with there own techs, and I also pay for the cell protection, they want $100 bucks to replace it.
I have an external hard drive with media files on it and I wondered if there was any way to connect it to my Wildfire and play them on there as I used to on my PC? If so, what would I need?
I lost the little eloastomeric (EPDM, BUNA?) cover for the micro USB port. SE support says replacements are unavailable. I'm sure there were millions of the components molded at the OEM manufacturer. Anyone know where to get Sony Ericsson parts?
I am wondering if there is a way to back up EVERYTHING on my iPhone as well as my Missus iphone but save it all on an external hard drive. The reason for this is my phone recently died beyond repair and I seem to have not backed up my movies songs and apps, needless to say it was extremely annoying.On top of this I am hoping to set it up so it backs up both phones daily over wifi automatically.I have looked on the Internet and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.
I am planning to travel to Central America, and I want to take pictures with my iPhone. I only have 8 GB memory, so I wanted to take my 1 TB WD Mac External Hard Drive with me on the trip. Is there any way I can connect my iPhone directly to the external hard drive, without the use of a computer?
I don't have enough space on my macbook to back my pictures up onto it. I am wanting to back up my pictures from my iphoto onto an external hard drive.
I am looking to do some traveling and would prefer to leave the laptop at home. I have a flash drive that needs to be used during that time but is locked and the information cannot be extracted or removed. It can only be accessed using the flash drive. Is there any way to make this work with XOOM?
Just bought Nokia Lumia 810 (T-Mobile) and downloaded the maps - the internal memory is ony 8gb. With OS and the Maps it takes up considerable space. Is it possible to move the map to the SD card? If yes any link or steps to do the same?
For using Nokia Drive - is it mandatory to download the maps? Just wondering how Google Navigation / Maps work for Android as I don't recall d/l any maps on Android!
I test drove the Nokia drive on couple of known locations and both times the paths chosen were uncommon - when comparing to the inbuilt GPS in the car as well as with Google Navigation! This was US maps. I hope Nokia Maps / Drive gets better.
Rooted, kitkat 4.4.4. I like to backup my entire nexus 5 to a large external sdcard using ES file explorer and stickmount pro. After an initial copy of all files it would be nice if I could copy "only changed or new files".
The 32gb sdcard is formatted fat32 and although I can copy files from the phone to it my backup failed when I tried to copy large files. I get an error message saying that there isn't enough space which is nonsense because the external sdcard is almost empty! Not sure why.
Is there / Could there be a way to directly plug an External Hard Drive directly to the Torch? Provided you have the right USB cable ends. Technically its a USB file system, so would the Torch read it like a MediaCard? Not for constant use, just media management.
I want to use an external hard drive that has contents that I want to be able to view on my samsung galaxy tablet or my motorola droid turbo. How can I do this without rooting them? If I have to root is there a guide that is easy to follow for both devices. I have the proper connection type usb connector.
