I'd actually like to address this head on and ask you why you cannot currently transfer data from your android phone to your XOOM?
It is currently factually correct that you cannot take a MicroSD card out of your android phone and pop it into your XOOM and read files off it, but would you consider one of a handful of other options?
1. Plug your android phone into your computer and turn on the option to access its files, usually you see the little green android and a button that says to connect... shortly after your PC should autoplay the device and you can browse its files (and the SD card). This would allow you to pull files off your android phone, temporarily store them on your PC and then following a very similar procedure put them on your XOOM. The XOOM is even easier to connect to because of its filesystem, it doesn't have to unmount the storage and you can just plug it in and the PC will pick it up as a drive and autoplay it.
2. Use a cloud service like dropbox which is very easy to sign up for and set up, and gives you 2GB of storage. Install dropbox, set it up on the android phone... put your files you want "copied" into the designated dropbox folder and after you put dropbox on your XOOM the files will be synchronized.
I could come up with a variety of alternatives depending on your degree of experience but I think two should suffice for merely moving files from device A to device B.
If you're just pissed that your SD card slot doesnt work you could just say that too
I'm kind of happy that it doesn't work, because I don't need the added expense of a 32GB MicroSD card at the moment and personally... I think you go big or go home.

Sorry but I would like the SD card to be working since it is much easier to transfer files then using another pc. When I am at work I simply pull my sdcard and use it in other peoples phones to give them updates, videos, etc without having to download it to their device. Thats one thing I do miss with my xoom and find myself waiting until I'm back home to put files on my xoom that I dont feel like waiting to download over 3G.
Love my Xoom and SD card support I can wait for, just hope its not a long wait
As I see where your coming from with the options man, my primary purpose of for an SD card is to store movies. If I keep a few 32GB sdcards onhand I can have my entire movie collection at my fingertips. Other than that I really don't have a need for one, its more of a added luxury.. It hasn't killed me thus far not having one, just waiting patiently ;-p.. Im also interested in the capabilities of the USB hosting as far as externals are concerned and exploring those possibilities but first they need to make a dock which has an output for USB. Its ridiculous that they release a so called Multimedia Dock without a USB hookup ugghh..
a temporary solution - for those who want more space - is using PlayOn and DropBox... I like to keep everything in the cloud.
Dropbox. End of story.
I heard a rumor it would be released Tomorrow...

looks to me
Looks to me like this is the issue ->
Xoom ships with 32gb internal storage. It appears to have a folder on it called /sdcard which would normally be where you mount your sdcard. Android likes to save all of your pictures, movies, downloads, etc. on your /sdcard/.
Simply put, sounds like if they had shipped it with /sdcard as the mount point for your /sdcard, your ttu (typical tard user) would be forced to buy an sdcard to do anything with the tablet other than download apps from the market. This would give a bulking 32gb partition for system apps which would be unusable by camera, downloads, etc. until whatever software update will come down the road.
I too have a metric ****ton of micro sd cards laying around, but I dont mind so much not being able to use them in the xoom, because between pogoplug and tversity, with the occasional compliment of astro with cifs (smb) plugin, I can access anything I want from it's home on my network, and dont have to worry about syncing stuff between devices.
I'd much rather use my tablet to access my stuff than to store my stuff, period. For all of you mediaphiles out there, take a look at tversity. I've been using it for years, and it will live transcode & stream your media to anywhere, meaning you dont have to carry any of it around to be able to watch it. For the $30 one-time investment of the pro version, it will transcode to your mobile devices, android or even snapple. The free version will transcode & stream to absolutely anything else.. upnp media browsers, x360, ps3, media center, xbmc, etc.
we may fix SD before Motorola does... it's iffy. We know where the problem is and how Motorola turned it off. We need board schematics to know how to route power to the controller. Otherwise its hit and miss.

what about internet
Everyone is saying use dropbox, use cloud to store files. Well remember this is Xoom Wifi, so that means if you're not home or don't have access to a hotspot then you are tost. So the idea that you can have a micro SD or even a few micro SD with all you need on it on the go sounds way more like a reasonable option then clod base or dropbox with limited storage. And with the hack to use an external storage like a wd portable hardrive is even more if an option. Imagine having access to 500 GB of data at you finger tips. Even in the cave or over the mountain with no wireless signal or wifi connection. Now that's what I call Xoom, Xoom, Xoom.
I love the UI, actually have Launcher 7 on my android.
I know the "apps" arguement will be over once Apollo releases.
Here is whats left that is holding me back.
I have to have an SD slot.
I am not a fan of the stock keyboard. I currently use Swiftkey and would like to see it on WP8.
Notification pull down bar. Need that to.
I am not familiar with what may be offered in Apollo, so if anyone can help convince me that my switch back to windows is sooner than later, me love you long time
Well its not really about 'convincing' you. No offense, but it's no skin off my ass if you don't switch over.
WP has pros and cons just like anything. Sounds like you're trying to come up with reasons to switch other than "I like it better", which would be unacceptable to the vast majority of Android users.

cool, launcher7 is great stuff !
as far as Apollo, just like -any- device not yet released, it is not real. It will become real when you walk into a store and see it on display, and can use it. Then, and only then will you know what it's options and capabilities are. I'm not saying you need to wait until then. Maybe buy a cheap phone off craigslist and enjoy it a while ?
..why would you switch to (discontinued) WinMo(bile) anyway? With your list of "requirements", you better stay with Android (for the time being) ......

The OP meant Windows Phone. Some people still call it that. Was interesting to see in the "I got smoked by a Windows Phone" segment a guy called it Windows Mobile.
Also, not only do you need features that Windows phone does not have, or has implementation in one or two phones (removeable sd), you are calling things that are Android specific.
Removeable SD - eliminates most WP7, iOS
Swiftkey - eliminates all but Android
Notification - eliminates all but iOS, Android
So even the combination of SD and pull down notification means Android is your only option. So just stick with Android.

If apps arguement will be over once Apollo releases, I think we can leave SwiftKey out - it's an app.
SD slot - Few Gen1 have them I think.
Notification pull down - will never be implemented in any of the WP build. It might mean copying iOS or Android and doesn't look like WP is (yet) trying to do that.
If you think you are one of those men Darwin talked about when he mentioned 'Adaptation' you will survive. Else Android is your choice.

sd slot? why?
stock keyboard is great, and i had swiftkey

the only thing that sucks is the lack of good apps.
I need an SD slot because I have a 64 and 32 gig card with music. I dont want to stream my music
I can live with the rest
Well, RUMOR has it that Apollo is bringing SD card support. If thats the case, you will see plenty of Windows Phones sporting SD card slots.
However, nothing is official yet.

That is an insane amount of music. i have 2gb which is closed to 400 songs. I would not want to manage your playlist.
If that is a kicker for you then you have to wait till apollo. Supposively it's coming back then.
You can however stream 25gb from skydrive with an app if you don't want to pay for a monthly zune pass.
The gen 1 makes the sd part of the O/S unless you have for example a surround and disassemble it and replace the built in. That sd though becomes part of the phone and gets wiped to use it for memory. sd however is not as fast as the gen 2 built in memory and i think is the reason you don't see it for gen 2.
The stock takes care of most notifications (facebook, windows live ect) the messeging has all your txt and chats (facebook, msn ect) and your email can have a linked inbox or seperate (even folders) pinned tiles. Calendar is pinned as a tile. You aren't going to get a pull down ever because the whole idea of tiles is a 2 part. #1 is shortcut to an app and #2 is to notify you about something in the app (like weather for example)
I can't speak for the keyboard you talk about but the windows phone keyboard is one of the best.
Apps - there are a lot of great apps. They however may not be the same ones you have on other phones.

I know you are trying to help and convince, but the OP said he didn't want to stream. I have similar wants:
Huge sdcard capabilities, swappable with other devices, without needing reformatted and loosing the data.
Streaming is -always- a hassle, even on wifi. Playing from a sdcard is instantanious.
Sdcards do not need to be incredibly fast to play music, save a system state, save pictures/video, or what they were designed to do. Hopefully this is becoming apparent, and m$ will allow normal usage of them in the future, along with backing up the entire phone to said sdcard. That is a huge issue for me.
Anything you say(or anyone here) about apollo is speculation at this point. Until the device is in hand, this apollo talk is all speculation. Unfortunately, leaks and promises are not reliable or credible.
actually, sd card speed is becoming more important with onboard cameras being HD, sd speed makes a world of difference with the higher quality recordings.

Bah, sorry, I wasn't thinking about 1080p when I posted. If/when I have a newer mac 6or8 core to handle editing 1080p you better believe I'll start shooting it with my gopro !
I wonder how long a phones battery would last shooting 1080p ? Lol not much longer than a 16gb card would ?

yeah, with a gopro you would totally see a difference with slower cards. my gopro stutters with anything less than class 6.
gopro's are really sensitive though, i have a 1st gen that uses AAA's, if i don't use high mah batteries, the video quality it terrible.
as far as battery, not many people are filming feature length films with smartphones, it's a record and get out world with smartphones.

He didn't say why he wouldn't stream. Mist streaming is paid and you don't own the music. S if is a paid reason, skydive will over come it. I was telling him what other options windows phone has that can utilize his current collection. Also sd cards were not ment to be shared sd = secure digital. just no one except ms has actually used them securely. I'm not pushing him, and I did state all the facts. With windows mobile I used sd cards and they were slow as crap to transfer lots of info to and from. Granted they are faster now but they don't match the nand speed that these 2nd generation phones have 16gb of.

well if they wont add SD then at least make a phone with more than 8 gigs inside.

agreed- the sd part of it is barely used, anywhere. the nand is so much faster, and it's cheaper by the day. might as well just make it a 32Gb phone, and an sdcard slot for the folks that carry their entire home computer in their pocket (on sd). actually, that's an even better argument -for- using a huge nand, and allowing sdcard sharing/mirroring/whatever as a big, dumb bucket to dump to.
i've run into quite a few people who are from outside the US that can't fathom the expense of streaming or uploading 2-3 files a day to have access to them.... while outside of the US. the expense involved for some users of just a cellular phone is an extravagance, streaming and/or cloud storage is nearly financially impossible.
... but here in the US we think nothing of tearing through 1Gb/day or even more to watch kittens roll over in 720p... sigh, i'm rambling now.
Developer love writing app for WP7 and they're will be more than the other 2 platforms since they can use skill they already have.
I know I've seen a thread about this, but not in the last 50 posts or so.
Question: does anyone foresee ever being able to expand our storage? Even with a border line dirty hardware hack?
I had built in storage on my nexus s 4G, and it was a pain *sometimes*
But, I've had my One S for about 2 weeks, and already have to delete stuff on a regular basis.
This is mostly because I'm a flash whore, and sense nandroids are usually over 1GB. I'm running MIUI right now, but will probably switch back, as I really miss the cool camera features.
But basically, with a few nandroids, some pictures, and some podcasts, my card will be full.
Anyone have any non-obvious ideas? (If that's a real word).
Obvious ideas would be, delete stuff, use SDMaid to clear out unneeded crap, don't take pictures, etc.
Someone please give me hope
Nothing you can do about it except the just the usual stuff
1) Sync all your photos and backups with dropbox. Can be scheduled automatically.
2) Sync your whole music library with google play.
You can just delete all your music, photos and backup yet still have access to them anytime you want. I am not sure about nandroid. Do you really need more than one?
I was just about to make this thread lol. Surely there must be a way to adjust the partitioning somehow. Like I've got 1.7 GB free on /data which I don't really plan on using much of, so I could move 1.5 GB from there onto the /sdcard partition. Similarly can also move a chunk of the /system partition since that has 1.35 GB free...could probably move a gig from there too and that's an instant 2.5 GB extra space!
I know people have succeeded in repartitioning on certain other phones, so there must be a way on here too. I hope someone can figure it out. F**k cloud storage.

Not everyone has unlimited data plans, cloud syncing will destroy data allowances and eat the battery. And I like my music library on my device, what happens if I want to listen to music while on a train and have no signal? etc etc... an extra few gigs would be a lot more helpful than moving everything to space.
Then hook up your device via usb when you are home or sync with wifi instead..
I have all my nandroids and titanium backups on dropbox to save space on my phone.
I am on a data cap too. But theres nothing I can do about it. I just don't have space on my phone. This way its at least always with me wherever I go. And I just add/delete the recent stuff to my phone manually. Thats often not more than 500mb of songs.
The rest I just sync at home when I am on wifi. I don't need backups or photos on my phone at all. So if I need space I can delete them without worries. Its safely stored with dropbox.
Titanium and Nandroid backups aren't an issue. I haven't got any of those and when I do I can easily move those off. But what I want with me locally is my music and picture library. No way am I putting that on the cloud. I've just come from a 32 gig SD card with about 6000 songs, and I had about 16 gb free space still left lol. I had to convert all songs from 64kbit ogg to 40kbit HE-AACv2 just to get it to fit. And now with less than 300 mb free space I am deleting some songs.
But my point is, there are several gigs just wasted in the other partitions. It would be nice to make those user accessible.
So I hope someone can make a ROM/mod that readjusts the partition sizes when flashing.
True, but that's the sacrifice you make when buying a phone with a fixed storage of just 16 gb. But other then moving stuff to dropbox and removing them from your phone I don't think there are many options.. At least not until usb-host comes to our phones You could also buy an mp3 player for music (and a camera for pictures and a handheld console for gaming xD )

I have no doubts that we will be able to repartition the storage in the near future.
But to be honest, even if we do we would only get like maybe 4GB more. Does this really make that much of a difference to you?
I mean compared to a 32GB microSD card this is pretty much no difference.
So far, I still have about 7GB free, so I am pretty fine how it is righ now.

Well, after compressing my music (the bulk of my SD card) to 32kbit, 4GB can fit another ~3500 songs. So it's a huge difference! With the 32 GB card I had plenty of empty space to dump movies, but every MB helps

Well... the obvious problem is that the One S does not supply power through the micro USB port so anything you plug in will have to get power from somewhere else. Hence, regardless whether it works or not it would not be particularly useful as you need an additional power source for the USB device, like a car charger or a wall charger, which basically throws mobility out the window. Chances are that if you're near an additional power source, i.e. a wall charger, you're also near a computer so there's no point to use a USB memory stick when you have a few hundred gigs available on the HDD of your computer...
On a similar theme I've installed Sygic navigation software. Once you install the app you then download a country map (UK in my case). Map is about 350mb and also installs approx another 400mb which I think is a one off and will be part of the program. This is all installed to sdcard partition and no choice is given (that I noticed). As I've plenty of room on data partition I wondered if there is a way to move/force sygic folder there? I'm guessing as a minimum root would be required. I'm not pushed for space on sdcard but every mb counts on the One S
As I wrote in another thread, I think the best (but costly and slightly cumbersome) way for us to live with only 9.xxGB without using GBs of data per months will be to rely on portable wifi storage. Lookup for Kingston Wi-Drive and Seagate Satellite Wireless drives.
I've had to make hard choices about what I'm keeping on my phone. I also had a 32GB microSD with tons of music, movies, videos, pics, apps, backups, CoPilot Live maps...
No way it's fitting now. I've had to decide what really *needs* to be on my phone and ax the rest. Would love to see a hardware mod for replacing the stock memory flash with a 32GB microSD... just sayin.
Hello people!
I searched for USB OTG threads and every I found that it needs an external power supply.
Do you guys know (or tried) to use the Sensation as a DSLR remote?
I am asking this, because the camera is powered, so not sure if an external power supply still needed.
Thanks in advance!

Most likely it won't still need an external power supply, but since I don't have use this feature
I can't say for sure
You could always test it and let us know if it works or not
Is there a particular app you have in mind for tethering a DSLR? I'm in the process of getting USB OTG working, can give it a try once it's up and running. I only have a Nikon camera.

I haven't looked into any tethering solutions yet. My focus has been on an in-field way of copying cards to an external hard drive (via USB-OTG) from a card reader. I've gotten both the card reader and the hdd to mount, the only issue left is finding a filesystem and formatting the drive.
FAT32/vfat is the obvious answer, but large volume sizes (my drive is ~100GB) don't work on Android. I'd prefer not having to create multiple 32GB volumes since I've got 2x16GB cards.
Currently the kernel I'm using (tamcore) doesn't have NTFS write support. Even if it did, ntfs-3g is fairly slow (not sure if it or usb read/write speeds would be the bottleneck). Similar story for exFAT, except there's no support for it as of yet.
ext2/3/4 would work, but I'd prefer it to be readable from a Windows machine in case I need to do anything with the photos immediately.
Issues aside, I've been using RAW droid to look at the files. Viewing files isn't one of the goals for the project, but it's nice to be able to look at them and see some EXIF data. I'm not aware of any apps which can process/manipulate RAW files, but RAW droid supports a wide variety of formats and, IIRC, lets you extract and save the jpeg preview.
So I spent several hours trying to get Wifi Direct to work only to finally read that it will killed by Asus. Sucks.
I'd like to easily, quickly transfer files between my S3 and my TF700. i have the keyboard dock but it doesn't appear there is a way to dock the phone as a mass storage device. I don't want to disassemble the phone to move the sd card around. It would be nice to have something that worked, quickly. Ideally, I'll be moving video files that can be 1GB or more.
Thanks.
Since the S3 is ICS+, USB Mass Storage protocol is not available by default (i.e., on a stock ROM). I use FilePush or DropBox. Less than ideal, but it'll have to do. A lot of people in here are fans of AirDroid.
thanks, I'll give em a try. I found an app finally last night called Software Data Cable that creates a push style network. It seems to do the job but I'll look up the others.
I use custom roms on everything, does anyone know of one that has the drivers/whatnot to allow the tf700 to host the phone in a mass storage like capacity?
Your best bet is the S3 development forum. In here, only a fraction will have this combo and they might not check in that regularly. Any modded-in USB MSP support should be mentioned in the ROM's description over there.
