Has any one tried.to.see if its possible to change the.internal storage in the galaxy nexus from 32 gb to something bigger? What type of storage device is it?
Its a flash unit attached to the main board. You won't be able to change it.

It is not possible, unless you want to attempt to solder a new chip in place of the one currently there.
buy and use an OTG cable with usb microsd reader and a microsd card.
i have the GSM 16GB, but i have a 32GB microsd i connect to the phone. i store videos and other large files on that.

I've been thinking abit during christmas and searching ebay after the ultimate product for theese new devices that has micro USB with OTG capabilities.
I wish for a small OTG cable with built in micro SD card reader. Now I use an OTG cable and a small reader which ofcourse gets a bit lumpy.
With todays micro SD card readers integrated into a USB shell it shoud be easy to make it as a msall unit that goeas straight into the micro usb port, eiterh as a mall dongle with all integrated or as a coonnector with up to 2 inches of cable.
Or has someone already made this and I ca't find it ?
Thats the set up I'm using. There is no 'integrated' version I can think of but I'm trying to strip mine down and integrate them into a case.

A case with integrated microSD a great idea. Would be perfect for a GN, especially my GSM version haha.
Maybe Radio shack has some small case for projects and we can put the innards in a small form factor.
okay this isn't exactly what your looking for, but it's my setup and it works perfectly.
i'm using this cable. there are cheaper ones available but i wanted one that had comments saying it worked. (the cheaper one also goes the other direction.)

with this setup i used a class 10 16GB patriot memory microsd and it worked perfectly and incredibly fast. also i played standard def WMV and AVI files with no issues, in addition to a 720p episode of transformers prime and a 1080p movie trailer with no lag at all.
i'm looking into buying a 32GB, but i'm sure it will work considering microSD cards to not require a lot of power.
I was hoping that the phone would read my 1TB hard drive, but unfortunately it doesn't, so this is now my backup.
I have the same otg and reader...

works perfect on windows 7. just shows up like a flash drive would. as far as 32GB. can't say since my max card i own is a 16.
*edit* ah just saw the other post lol. Good to know a 32gig works. i'll be picking one up eventually now.
Do you think your sdcard reader draws less energy from the phone than a USB stick?
It's not handy for me using my old big USB stick and your solution seems better.

That's a good question... never thought of that! My thought is its probably the same or more than a usb

i can pretty much guarantee you that the microsd reader and card use less power than a USB stick.
i've confirmed a 16GB card, and another user has confirmed a 32GB card.
But in my flash drive tests, NOTHING over 8GB would work. i tried 3 different brand 16Gb and 2 different brand 32Gb and none worked. Additionally no portable hard drives worked either.
pretty much confirms that the cards use a lot less power than the flash drives.

What about formatting? If I recall correctly, the phone won't read anything that is NTFS formatted, as its not in the kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus LTE using xda premium
External hard drives require a startup power, that's why some of them have 2 USB connections. Even though they should only require one connection to work, depending on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to connect 2 USB ports to supply enough power for the hdd to spin up. After that it works fine.
I doubt the GN will ever supply the necessary power for an external HDD to work though. Best to stick to FAT32 flash drives and SD cards.
I have successfully connected a fat32 16Gb flash drive to my GN with a USB OTG adapter without any problems. Just make sure it's formatted as fat32 and not NTFS.
@esoomenona: i tried both fat32 and NTFS, on 16GB neither worked. my 32gb are all NTFS. did not know about the formatting kernel though. hope my kernel supports it since i plan on formatting my incoming 32gb microsd to ntfs.
@flakz0r: figured as much about the hard drives. my transformer can run it, so now it just needs to get ICS so it can play 720p videos without lag.
interesting that you got a fat32 16gb flash drive to work. guess the phone just doesn't like mine.
and since were on the subject of formatting, does anyone know any specific kernel that supports NTFS. i know stickmount just added support but it says you still need a kernel that supports it.

i want to format the card to exFat for the option to transfer larger then 4Gb files but i can't because i want to use all the 64Gb space.
the card is original for sure!

I had this issue too, it was because my card reader didn't support SDXC specifications. I had to use the built in reader in my fairly new laptop to format.

When connecting the device via USB cable, don't expect the transfer speeds to be that great. MTP is the default transfer protocol if you didn't change it. If you need to move files off of your MicroSD card quickly, its best to remove the media card from the Note 2 and put it into a card reader. As for the gallery app on the device, from what I have experienced is if you are using the card for the first few times it may take some time for the picture thumb nails to enumerate completely, especially when you have a lot of photos/videos.
This is purely from experience. I hope this helps a bit.

I read that some applications have trouble being stored on external micro SD cards. Someone here mentioned their comic reader app has to be on the device as do their comics for it to work properly. The extra 16 would help there.
I'd personally prefer a 32GB device over 16GB as well. I would have bought that if it were available. I use a 128GB micro SD card but having on device storage is handy as well.

Although some apps may use the sd cards, like camera/video and tom tom, somes do not! Furthermore, only a portion got to go on the Sd Card.
My S4 is already limited to 16GB. I will also add a 64 GB sd Card if ever there is a 32 GB model here in Canada.
Just about to pull the trigger on a Sandisk 400GB Micro SD card from Amazon, and just wondered before i buy, if anyone knows the maximum memory card size the 5T will Take?

I think you should tread the 5T specs first.
The 5T does not have expandable storage.
That's a more helpful answer than the first one, thanks.
damn, why it was so difficult for onplus to make 3rd slot for microsd, always something missing !!
since my first android phone, they always did that !!
Because they want to lost the money from you, just because you buy a memory card, instead of buying a phone with bigger storage from they. Memory card is slower than the phone storage. Just two examples, why they make this decision. The 3rd... the need extra space, for the memory card tray...I know, yes, you say that there is also space on the tray, if you decide to use just one sim... But you need a READER PART TOO... that's extra space... It's better to get a memory card slot for it, but a smaller battery?? I don't think so.

Hey Ben,
This is a little old question but I've just started using the OnePlus 5T a couple of months ago. You can use larger memory sticks and disk drives. But you'll need to convert to FAT32 format first. I just did this with a SanDisk 64gb stick and works great. I think my 128gb 5T is large enough but great to have extra space for movies on flights. If you haven't already sorted this out, I'll be happy to provide you with more information.
its actually because the SD cards memory runs way slower than the phones built in storage memory and would bottleneck your phone. and why on gods green earth would you even need more than 128GB? one solution would be to buy a USB type c memory stick, on that well known auction site they sell at 64gb= £10 or 128gb - £15 as previously mentioned format them to fat32 to make them compatible. most come with type c connector on one end and normal usb the other
