lol this is definitely an interesting mod. No way to hide that thing under your case? That would look allot better.
seriously?
Really? I have an official Samsung Galaxy S2 OTG cable for my SGS2 and it didn't work on the Galaxy Nexus so I assumed it didn't support USB OTG. I guess I will have to find one that does.

The kernel supports OTG. The software doesn't support it natively. You have to download stick mount from the market to mount usb drives with OTG

This killed me, dude you must be an expert in diy, "warm heartedly ", i wander what modifications you've made on your car, cause this is extreme diy. I wander how Google and Samsung would feel if they saw the lengths some of there customers have to go to in order to have extra storage.
I particularly like the red LED

Shut up and take my money! If only that case existed, it would make me buy a Galaxy Nexus right now. 16gb doesnt hold enough music
The same idea for Nexus4

It's a great idea for all the nexus devices and especially the brand new Nexus4:
Simple
Cheap
useful (protective case + expendable memory).
It should also provide a mecanism to offer a microUSB port left for letting us charge the phone even if it is plugged to the case.
Any news?!

Find out a small company doing such a thing for the iphone but seems too massive (coz of the expendable battery on it).

Should be ok for a Nexus device with only expandable memory. The sucess for that hypothetic product would be undeniable regarding ppl anger about the lack of sd slot on those devices.

Damn that sucks. Its just a PIA to do all that transferring. It does kind of suck to have 32gb that can't be partitioned. Do you guys think there will ever be a way to partition it?

Why would you ever want that? The whole idea of unpartitioned storage w/ MTP is that its less of a hassle. You're just creating more problems by introducing different formatting and partition tables. Kinda funny how everyone complained on old phones dealing with partitions, "low storage" errors, and Apps2SD... now that they have large internal storage and no partitions they hate it too.
Just leave it be. It works really well (on the aggregate) and its the way that Google wants it. I don't see them ever going back to partitions and UMS. Better get used to it.
I just want to be able to connect to my PS3 because my laptops were stolen when my apt. was burglarized, and the only place I have media is on my PS3. I'm not looking to make things difficult. I just think that Samsung already did that by not making it USB compatible with devices such as PS3, tvs, sound systems, etc. Especially these days. My 5 year old Sansa Clip will connect to any media device, I'd like to think the GNex is more advanced than that. Just my opinion...

Well I'm sorry that your laptop was stolen, but that's not Samsung's fault (and btw it was Google's decision on the design and implementation of the storage, not Sammy). Single internal storage and MTP is more advanced and overall a better solution. I think that asking most people, they'd take this solution over the partitions and UMS that allows them to connect to a PS3...
I hear you. I know people didn't just buy this phone to connect to PS3 and to me, it really is a small price to pay for an otherwise great phone. (It's probably gonna make me get a new cpu)lol But its pissin me off that this elite smart-phone can't do something my LG Dare did! I just wanna make sure its not a "pebkac" problem.

I thought there would be an easy work around this... especially for PS3... Samsung TV remotes are even compatible with PS3 out of the box.lol Im really surprised about the incompatibility. Makes me wonder what else isn't gonna work... MEHHH
Do you want to actually transfer or would streaming be fine? If streaming is okay, I suggest imediashare from the Play Store. You can stream images and videos to your PS3 this way(tried it myself today)

I tried imediashare and it only seems to let me copy to my PS3, not from. All share from samsung worked on my og epic and actually recognized it as a device. I cant find an apk to it tho. I wonder if that would work? Does someone have an apk of that or samsung apps?

It works fine with old technology. PC's recognize a GNex (or any camera, for that matter) in MTP/PTP mode and transfer files without issue. I think you're confusing an "issue" on the Galaxy Nexus with an actual issue on the side of the PS3 not recognizing MTP/PTP...
MTP isn't some fancy new technology. It's been around forever (since at least Windows XP). It's not like Google invented MTP for use on the Galaxy Nexus (it was actually invented by Microsoft) just to piss everyone off.
And as I said before... single, non-expandable internal unpartitioned storage and MTP are here to stay and you're just going to have to deal with it. Google isn't going to change this, and I for one am happy they've made this decision. Really wish people would quit *****ing about it. If you don't like MTP, don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. You'll be missing out on a great device for a silly reason.
Connectivity demo video [UDPATE: new vid, NOVA 3+PS3 controller+HDTV+"how to" guide]
Basically rather large medley showing many of the connection options available for the Galaxy S3, make sure to use the nav links in the video description to get around the vid:
Note: Since the video I also got NOVA 3 on my S3 and playing it via MHL on my HDTV with a PS3 controller over bluetooth (every bit as freaking sweet as it sounds). Anyone want a guide?
[UPDATE] Demo and guide for playing NOVA 3 wirelessly via a PS3 controller, much better experience (especially on an HDTV and with a home theatre system connected!). Until you've made videos where you control the game by viewing it through the viewfinder in your camera please refrain from being too critical about how badly I suck
Ya sure a guide would b much appreciated

Yep, it's the one that is specific to the S3 (11 pin set-up, rather than 5 like the older ones - I have two of those so I'm annoyed about the change too).

Excellent video mate, is the S3 your main phone these days? I'm sure I remember you doing a similar review on the Galaxy Note, that's what I have although I did get an S3 for the missus and it is tempting, but I'm holding out for the Note 2.
By the way, can you point me in the direction of a relatively cheap bluetooth keyboard and mouse that will work with my Note, but a set that doesn't come with a usb dongle since I want to use the micro usb port on the phone to connect it via MHL to my TV. If that makes sense.

Yep, S3 is my daily (still love my Note though). Will get the Note 2 for sure and totally respect holding out for it.
Understand what you're saying about the keyboard thing and MHL, will take a look and find some suitable ones for you.
Wow, now that is impressive. I can't believe how much you can do with the S3, simply amazing. The S3 kicks all other "smart" phones back to the dark ages . Another vote for a numptys guide please, first time smart/droid phone user here. Or I will be if my phone ever turns up

Awesome. $10 sure beats $40 for the official adapter. Just need some compatibility confirmation reviews before pulling the trigger.
Is there anyone out there with a USB DAC who can verify the S3 can actually output digital audio via USB?
This is a long time wish for audiophiles, who will all be getting an S3 if this functionality works.
I bought a Galaxy s3 USB OTG cable (Female USB A to Micro USB Male) and it does not recognize anything that I plug into it. Does anyone know if the USB Host functionality has been removed from the Sprint version of this phone? I want to know before I just assume that it's a defective cable.
I used USB OTG for everything on both Stock and Cyanogenmod. I think you have a defective cable. One of the main features is actually OTG support.
I think your best bet is getting this cable since it's $0.67 with free shipping and it pretty much works for everyone.
Just played a game with Xbox controller and OTG and it was really cool. Hopefully you'll be able to share my experience.

Are you using a Sprint Galaxy S3? I ask because it seemed that the OTG feature was disabled in the Galaxy S2, so I wasn't sure if Sprint would also disable it in the Galaxy S3. From my searching on-line, it seems that those using the T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S3 variants are able to connect with USB OTG. For 68 cents, I might as well try ordering another one.

Yeah, Sprint. It worked on stock and on custom ROMs. I use the exact same cable and it works 100%.
Did they have a reason to disable it on the SGS2? I'm wondering why on earth they'd do that.

Not sure why they disabled it because it seems pretty illogical to do that. I ordered the cable, and hopefully in a month I'll be able to see if it ends up working. I'm hoping that it's a problem with the cable and not a problem with my phone.
I was able to get FAT32 thumb drives and my Canon camera to work. USB keyboards and mice did not. NTFS drives did not work either, even though I used a mounting app that makes it work on my tablet.
It won't arrive for a little bit (1saleaday is slow to ship), so I figure I'll ask some questions in the meantime.
Does it support MHL 2.0? I've seen conflicting info, in that some places don't even mention MHL support. And if it's not 2.0, does it require that specific 11-pin Samsung adapter? Selling my HTC One and not sure if I should just include my current 5-pin adapter with it.
Does it work with the Smart Dock like the regular S4 and whatnot? Assuming it works with MHL 2.0, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the Smart Dock.
What kind of sound hardware does it have? I don't suppose its Wolfson...
Does it support exFAT for microSD? I've seen confirmation that it supports 64GB cards at least.
And any idea if it'll have a wireless charging back like for the S4? Don't know if it even supports wireless charging.
I've tried mhl 1.0 and 2.0. Both don't work. Also tried USB OTG also doesn't work.
I have a 64gb micro sd but I can't remember how it's formatted. But definitely works.

Well crap, I was banking on at least regular MHL - are you sure its not the cable you're using (as in, it requires the Samsung specific 11-pin cable)? If not, then I guess GSMarena is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).
I've tried both a cheap one from ebay and the samsung geniune one which works with my normal Galaxy S4 without using the power cable......both cable works on my normal GS4 but it doesn't work on my MIni GS4....i've also tried with or without the power cable attached and still doesn't work.
