On my previous devices, I occasionally pulled out the removeable SD card, and ran a backup of the card to my laptop hard disk. I ended up with a 32GB card which was filled with music, videos, and work documents. So, I got the 32GB S III to have plenty of room. So now, generally, I have my music, documents, etc., on the S III internal 32GB SDcard as it is called. I have my videos and a few other huge items on the external removeable extSDcard.
Now the problem is, there is no practical way for me to back up the internal storage. It won't fit on what is left of my external card. I have a issues with my laptop so USB does not work, or is unreliable when it does, and too slow anyway. I don't really want to use the cloud. I have tried FTP, and it works, but clunky.
I'm thinking about getting an external hard disk and using an OTG cable. That is about the closest I can come to what I want.
Does anyone have any good solutions? I guess I could get a 64GB card, but if I got a 64GB card, I would prefer stuffing more videos and such on it, not wasting it for backup.
I'm rooted, simply so I could freeze some bloatware.
There are a bunch of questions I'd need an answer to before I could even begin to help:
What about your computer is making the USB connection spotty? Are the USB ports damaged?
What ROM are you running on your device?
What OS are you running on your laptop?
Are you familiar at all with adb? Do you have it set up to work on your laptop?
IMPORTANT: Backing up 32GB of data from anything to anything will take a long time. USB OTG will still run at USB speeds, so probably not much faster than trying to backup over USB to your laptop. Your best option will probably be something like my adb_bak2computer tool. Shameless plug I know, but its true. Well, only if you are running linux or mac (for now at least).
In the advanced options menu you can select "userdata" which will backup /data including your internal sdcard. I could write a new option to only backup the internal sdcard, actually I think I will.
Still, need answers to those questions.

USB is out. Long story, but basically, the laptop has an internal hub to drive all of the USB ports. A lot of devices refuse to cooperate when they are on the other end of a USB hub. Nice laptop other then that annoyance.

Most machines have a "USB hub" that drives multiple USB ports, so that shouldn't be a problem. Even if you were using an external USB Hub, and it was a powered hub, you should still be fine. Could be something wonky with your OS?
Anyhoo, if you've ruled out USB to your laptop, then its either some sort of Wifi file explorer (or wireless adb), or USB OTG.
Hope that helps,

I'm not going to waste another minute on USB to the laptop. The USB has not worked on this laptop for years. I hope to purchase a new laptop early next year, or maybe a Surface Pro. Also, even when USB is working, I can't MOUNT it as a drive letter, so normal backup programs don't see it. I have to manually cut and paste. But that is all another story.
I really want to be able to MOUNT the S III SDcard as a drive over WiFi. That would be perfect. Then I could run an automatic backup script.

I use an app called "FolderSync" that lets you sync whatever you want with a shared windows folder. I do this on a schedule to backup my internal and external SD cards over my home network. But it is kinda slow, so if you have 32gb then it could take all day if you are syncing for the first time.
I use FolderSync quite a bit because it also supports Dropbox and a bunch of other cloud services. It was well worth the money for the paid version, but there is a Lite version also. I don't know what the limitation are on that.

That sounds like the ticket. I'll try it for a while and report back.
EDIT: After a quick test, this looks to be nearly perfect. I can set it up to sync to my network drive (or about any other wireless storage) with ease. Thanks.
Hallo everybody!
Some days ago my HI802 wich is a rebrand of gk802 android dongle arrived with dhl.
I order with aliexpress.com for $ 99,-
The HI802 has
- SoC – Freescale i.MX6Q Quad Core Cortex A9 Processor with Vivante quad GC2000 GPU,
· System Memory – 1GB RAM
· Storage – 8GB NAND Flash Memory (on a exchangeable micro SD card)
- micro SD card slot for card up to 32 mb
· Video Output – HDMI
· Connectivity – Built-in Wifi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth
· USB – USB Host + USB OTG
The Hi802 was delivered together with an 2000 ma wallplug, and a proprietary! usb to micro-usb cable.
After unpacking the dongle and connecting it to the supplied charger with supplied usb to micro-usb cable, connecting it to my tv with a hdmi-cable, and plugging in the Mele F10 airmouse dongle into the HI802's usp-port the Hi802 booted up, so i thought erything would be ok.
Unfortunatly the airmouse was not recogniced and i couln't see any mouse-pointer on my tv.
So i tried some normal wired usb-mice, but also with the same effect, also no keyboard worked with the HI802.
After a lot of emailing with the dealer (kimdecent) and searching a lot of other places on the internet, i finally got my HI802 to work with mice and keyboards and also my Mele F10 flymouse:
The usb to micro usb-cable that was deliverd with my device is a proprietary one and non-standard.
After replacing the cable with a standard-cable, all wireless mice and keyboards worked.
Also chargers that can deliver 2000 ma or more work with that device.
The firmware can be updated very easy:
1. Copy all image-files to the external sd-card.
2. Insert the end of a paper-clip into a little whole besides the micro-usb, and then connect the stick to the power-supply.
3. The stick will then boot into recovery-mode and with a connected mouse or keyboard you can select 'update all system files' from menu.
4. Update needs a few minutes
5. Select 'reboot'
I updated the firmware to a rooted version: rc2V1.65.3 without any problems.
The wireless connection of the stick is quite good.
I connected to my router which is about 30 feet away and have 2/3 signal strengh and can download with about 20 - 25 mb/sec and is sufficient to watch most movies.
I already downloaded a lot of Apps, nearly everything works fine, a lot of apps can be moved to internal SD card to save free space.
Also XMBC works like a charme, I watch a lot of videos and movies over wireless NAS.
Some issues i still have:
The HI802 doesn't work with active (powered) usb-hubs, nothing connected to these hubs works, so you should use passive hubs only.
Using an external sd-card with the HI802: The external sd-card seems to get mounted read only with wrong rights, so you can' use it with your apps (i tried to use Backup and Restore to backup).
You have to mount it with r/w-rights in root-explorer manually ( that's the /mnt/external_sd/ folder)
When i connect usb-sticks or harddrives over a passive hub, FAT32-formatted media can be mounted, but the HI 802 can't read from those media, althought the files show up with root-explorer. (I will ty to fix this issue with root explorer in the next days!)
I also couldn't get the HI802 to work with NTFS, also apps that normally mount NTFS-sticks (chainfires stickmount) on other devices without any problems did not work. (maybe also munted r/o ?)
Did anybody of you also have the same problems?
Sadly these are no longer available at this time from Aliexpress. I'm very interested in playing with the quad core model.
We seriously need some more distributors in the US.
Unfavorable review of GK802
There is a Youtube review portrays the GK802 graphics performance as substantially inferior to the MK808. I can't post the link as I do not have sufficient posts but if you google "SZEALZ GK802 Quad-core HDMI Stick PC -- Graphics Tragedy" you will find it. It seems difficult to understand or am I missing something?
re: review
Well the Vivante quad GPU used in Hi802/GK 802 may not be as fast as a Mali400, but it is definitly fast enought to play most games and to decode nearly all videos in hardware up to 1080p.
I tested a lot oft different 1080p videos in avi, mkv etc., and all oft them were played fine without any dropped frames or lags.
When configured correctly (large network-buffering and using hardware-acceleration), you can use mx-player, bs-player and even xmbc to play nearly all video formats.
The only problem at the moment is the missing support for harddrives and thumbdrives, not all nas can deliver 10 MB/sec over wifi.
Is it true that there are some physical differences between the gk802 and the hi802, or both of them are exactly the same? I'm asking this because I remember I read somewhere that gk802 has a heatsink while the hi802 does not..can anyone confirm this???
Hi802/GK802
As far as i know, there are no physical differences, everything is the same, even both devices run with the same firmware.
I only have the HI802 and have only seen pictures of the GK802.
There is no heatsink, the heat is dissipated away from the processor over the metal shelf of the dongle.
This seems to be sufficient for the 10 watts the dongles are consuming.
I just got my gk802 today from geekbuying for $99
I plugged in a 32gb jump drive and the device found all my media and played it with no problem. My RC11 air mouse remote was found and it works fine. I plugged in a logitech 260 cam to the usb hub and the pictures/video were great. However, when I record sound I get a buzzing sound even with the cam unplugged which has a mic. Also, I have nube problem. I can't figure out how to move an app using the
RC11. I can't move it from the home screen even an inch let alone to another screen. It is not like my Android phone and like I say, I am a nube.

Which firmare version do you have?
I am using the lates 1.65.4 rooted version for the gk802, which works quite well and is really fast, but I am still having no success to access any files on ecternal harddisk and thumbdrives, although the latest firmware should have fixed that.
Do you use any apps to mount your drives, or are they automatically mounted?
The Hi802 comes with android 4.0.4.
Normally you just open the apps-screen by clicking the ... menu on the right upper side.
Than you can drag and drop your apps to the homescreen.

I will be honest, I really don't know much about what I am doing. But, here it goes. I am using version 4.0.4 Android ICS Build version is R13.4-RC2V1.65.3. As far as the drives go, I plugged in the powered hub that I bought with the unit along with a cam that I had and a 32gb jump drive (w/ movies and music). That is it! The GK802 found everything and I didn't have to mount anything. Even the camera video worked fine. The sound is great except for when I try to record audio, all I get is buzzing. I even downloaded xbmc from the geekbuying.com website and it works without a hitch. If it was not for the buzz I get, I would be a happy person. PS - I also plugged in a wireless mouse to the same usb hub because I found that I could not do some things with the air mouse remote alone. (like moving apps and playing angry birds) Everything is fine with it.[/QUOTE]
I have nothing but problems with my newly purchased hiapad hi-802. I bought a mele f10 wireless air mouse with it. The mouse works perfectly with the supplied micro-usb charger. However any video I play freezes and crashes after 30 seconds to 1 minute. Also Bs player is the only video decoder that works. Everything else crashes. I bought a second charger 5v/2000ma and it works except the mele f10 mouse doesn't work. I updated the software to 1.65.4 and I applied the usb fix on hiapad site but the mouse only works with their supplied charger. So I can either use the mouse with no video playback, or video playback but no way to get to the videos... Any suggestions?
Sure. Just ditch the airmouse and use an android phone or tablet with droidmote. Much cheaper, easier and - I think, never having tried one of those airmice - probably also better!
hiapad 802 usb fix file
Hi, they removed the usb fix from their website and I need to download a working firmware.
Do you still have that file?
I've built an AOSP android image for it but I need to be able to compare both boot logs.

I have had my iPod Nano set for disk use for some time under the Apple HFS+ format, and in curiosity, I wanted to see if I could access those files via the Samsung USB connector. I tried Paragon,and the USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG and nothing has exactly happened, but it works automatically and my Mac recognizes it right away. Well with the latter program, it does charge to its credit , but with this also, it shows up as a Blank USB storage rather than with the files. Is there any possible way I could access them on the Note 10.1 [N8013] , or does it require other drivers in order to recognize the iPod Nano 6th gen?
I'm honestly not in much of a hurry concerning this issue , but wondering if others have found why the device is inaccessible to either app.

You don't really need a flash drive flashdrives are more computer based cause flashdrives was made to burn computer images onto when you can't officially update a operating system on a laptop what is perfect for phones is more of something like this cause it's more appropriate.
https://m.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-1-Type...102651?hash=item1c93e155fb:g:zQAAAOSwm9tZ1g9w
The reason I say that is this cause a flash drive doesn't have sd card support I remember the big issue when pixels came out was the lack of External SD card support it's always had External SD card support Also can work for USB Type C OTG supported Android mobile phones. It's just everyone failed to use otg I can't live without External SD cards cause it's just all that extra space if you do a internal to external swap where external is new storage by rom modifications which enables the swap only if the otg device is attached and detected. Plus it's great for holding ROMs at which you can just leave in your phone.
Description:
100% brand new and high quality.
Dual card slots design, the card reader function can support SD(HC) / MicroSD (TF) (memory card is not included)
Compatible with USB 3.1 Type C port computers, such as for Macbook/Air/Pro.
Also can work for USB Type C OTG supported Android mobile phones.
USB 2.0 port can work for USB U disk / mouse / keyboard etc. low power consumption devices. (NO Power supply port, cannot work for high power consumption devices)
Simple and fashion appearance design; light weight and good heat dissipation ability.
No drivers required, plug and play.

I added more images to the original and the flash drive is working just as it should...
Picked one of these up after you mentioned it. Cheap and works great.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Hello, I'm still not clear reading these various threads about OTG transferring files to & from Pixel XL, and any and all variations: I'm still not understanding— can you get fast file transfer speeds coming off the Pixel to a flash stick, or has Google (typically) thrown a wrench into the works with their FAT32/ exFAT issue, defeating the ability to get the normal transfer speeds you'd expect on other phones using OTG?
I know this is close to a year after the last post to this thread, but this is driving me nuts just trying to find the answer. Can anyone help? If I can't get the expected fast speeds transferring large video files, then I can't buy a Pixel XL, in which case I am back to the drawing board.
Life was so simple with my NOTE 4's... It just worked, a premium camera that was hard to beat — up and until the Pixel line hit. Thank you
After updated my Note10+ (Exynos) to Android 10 and One UI 2.0, I found one serious problem:
Problem: When I inserted Samsung USB-C to USB-A adapter to the phone, then attach a USB drive (which work fine on the same phone when running Android 9, and the device was checked to make sure its functioning), Note10+ fail to auto-mount the USB drive. There are no response, and Samsung My Files app do not recognize the USB drive
Workaround: To make it work, I have to install Sandisk Memory Zone app from Google Play. after that, when I inserted the USB drive, Sandisk app detect the drive and I can transfer file using Sandisk app as usual. However, Samsung stock My Files app still do not show the USB drive as it should be
Another work around is to mount the USB drive with Paragon NTFS eFAT/NTFS for Android, then browse or transfer file with Total COmmander file manager. Still, Samsung My Files app do not show the mounted USB drive at all
I think there must be a bug with Samsung firmware that need to be fixed. I have reported this to Samsung Support staff over the live chat
Any friend experience the same problem? Or it is just me?
