The One X has no microsd card slot, so I was wondering if it's possible to externally expand its storage like using an external flash drive.
Yeah you can but you have to use a powered hub and a USB y cable. Take a look in the general section. There is a topic about an otg cable and USB working.
Here is the link to that thread:

Thanks for the link, but it seems you need to carry a charger for it to work, so it's not much use since a phone needs to be mobile.
Yeah. Either a charger or a battery. Kinda sux.

The Airstash or the Kingston Wi drive comes to mind. Both can hold charge for around 4-5 hours.

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a solution to solve that problem, as Im away to holiday in Austraila, for three weeks. Whooot! I'll be staying in hotel in various of places.
So I have three device
iPad 3 (not jailbreaked, and don't want jailbreaked )
iPod 2 gen ( jailbreaked) ( happy to change any settings on iPod)
HTC sensation. Happy to mod and change ANY settings to enable USB host,
CCK device.
I thought of dropbox but I was worried about costly of wifi around in Aussie and probably don't have time to wait till all photo were uploaded. My camera is Fujifilm Finepix f10 and limited to 2gb of xD card. (don't want to buy new camera)
I do have a laptop but I perfer to bring iPad and leave laptop at home as I want to travel light.
If your sensation supports usb host mode then buy a host cable and a usb card reader, the sensation will read the card then just bluetooth to the other devices

I believe my sensation doesnt support USB host device.
Another option would be to get an mirco sd card to sd card adaptor plug in an xgb in to the adaptor use it in the camera and at the end of the day put the card in the phone and send it were ever

With the latest kernel from SebastianFM, you can have OTG, but you must have a powered cable.
USB OTG for the HTC Sensation on ICS Sense ROMs
I meant use an sd card adaptor.
The ones that convert mirco sd to sd card size that should work.

I picked up a one point five terabyte Seagate drive for 90 bucks from Costco last week mainly for my lappy but I was wondering is there a way to physically hook it to my tab?FTP is of course what I've been using but what about when there's no wifi?

Are all 30-pin USB connectors created equally, or is an OTG cable different?
They are different. OTG has ground and sense shortened.
If your drive is powered from USB beware that this will not work. Drive must be externally powered.

Maybe a USB splitter?

Micro USB has a pin called sense.

I got a cheap powered USB hub from Amazon (like http://www.amazon.co.uk/BG-Network-...35?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1354711206&sr=1-35) and it works fine ... just ensure you are taking a charger with sufficiant power to support your HD!
hi every body
i will be very thankful if anybody can help me
today i get a usb OTG cable and i was very excited to try on my nexus s but i was very disappointed that even if i have a custom kernel that supports usb OTG i have to support externel power supply along with the cable which make all the process of > on the go < .. absolute not on the go ..
later when searching i found a video for nexus 4 i guess having usb with really on the go mode i.e. without 20 meters of cable extended along the room to the wall..
is there a way to make this work on the nexus s .?

Is it USB-to-AV cables? Or do you have a usb port on your TV? I believe that is only for photos. i tried the same method as well (even for music). also, it depends if the TV supports it? my samsung doesnt support my HOX as well. There is a usb-to-hdmi adapter for like $10 used on amazon, i would suggest using that for now..heard it works wonders, and it has native support on the HOX http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MHL-HDMI-Adapter-Packaging/dp/B005LGUDKK

I have a feeling it has to do with how jb sense makes USB drive available. Its not just the standard USB mass storage. You'd prolly be able to read is with ICS sense or aosp where it reads as USB mass storage

Aosp does not work. Tried it myself. If I recall, doesn't Samsung use the allshare app?

Connect HTC ONE to TV
I guys, today I tried to Wireless Charge while using the USB-OTG to copy some files (practically, it makes sense for me, since there is no need to connect the cable to the Nexus, we could be using that port to USB-OTG and charge at the same time).
I was surprised when it didn't work. I can't understand why would they implement this. Since it's not charging from cable, it could be charging by wireless...
It's not a defect from mine, right?
Anyway, thanks for your attention.

It's not a defect. You need a custom kernel that supports Qi Charging while using USB OTG if you want that.
Are you sure it's a kernel limitation? Do you know any that supports it?

May not be a hardware limitation. But probably a very low priority for implementation
One way I've try to offset this limitation is to plug my OTG cable into a powered USB hub. All attached USB devices use the hub for power greatly reducing the battery drain on the phone/tablet.
