[Q] Can I transfer photos from camera to GNex?

Can I transfer photos from my camera to a Nexus over USB?
When I search I find lots about transferring pictures from the Nexus to a computer, but nothing about camera to GNex, so I'm probably missing some obvious search term. I don't yet have the phone so I can't test.

Of course you can.

Just find a mini to micro USB cable and plug into camera and Nexus?
thanks
There seem to be apps to view RAW files (nef, cr2, etc.), so I take it there's no native support?

No that won't work with what your saying. U need to buy a micro usb otg cable. Then get the app stickmount and then u should be good to go. I have used a phone on my phone and it has worked fine. So I'm sure ur camera will be fine as well

Aha!
Are there micro usb to mini usb otg cables? The closest I can find is micro male to standard usb female ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/Data-Cable-...ccessories&hash=item43b0e7fd2f#ht_3011wt_1066 ), to which I'd attach a mini to standard USB cable
Root phone and get stickmount
voilà

I would find a right angle micro usb otg cable. And I haven't seen an otg cable that had a mini out on from the micro side

Yes. Buy a $3 OTG cable from Amazon.

Hooking up a USB drive to the phone

Is there anyway to directly hook up a USB drive to the phone to transfer data? I know you would need a micro USB adapter but is it possible?

Yes you can and more!
What you want/need is called and OTG cable (On The Go). It has a micro USB male to plug into the bottom of your phone and a female USB connector for a flash drive on the other end. I've used it on my GS3 with Wicked 10 and it pops right up!
Also tried it on a stock Sprint GS3 and a couple of Verizon Note IIs. Cables are fairly cheap - got mine on Amazon. If you'd like the link I can send it to you or respond here.
If you're looking to connect an external drive, I haven't tried that - the phone might not have enough power to spin it up.
Hope this helps!

Meenova do this too - but smaller & better

Agree on the meenova solution, plus it comes with a micro USB to full USB adapter to be able to plug in a full size stick right into the phone.

My mistake here. I looked again and the adapter is micro usb that plugs into the phone with a exposed USB A. A lot like this:

I got a Iball hybrid pen drive. Great for storing all movies and music.

micro usb on the other end and a full size usb on the other, a microsd slot fits on the mouth of the full usb head.

Using the usbc adapter. I have also tried fat32, the otg device is still not detected. I have tried stick mount but that fc instantly when I select mount.

Something wrong with your port? It works fine for me with the included adapter. Suggest you try on a store display model for comparison.

How it respond when u put it in?

All right. I am getting somewhere I think. Otg does work with the usbc to usb adapter (the big one). It's some long setup here as I have a microsdcard enclosure plugged into regular usb adapter (for pc) and now this usbc to usb adapter. But it works! However, the c to micro usb adapter (the small one) doesn't work unfortunately.

I was testing this today, trying to connect a USB memory stick, and it didn't work with the USB on the Go adapter
Note 7 might need something different to be compatible with USB sticks

Mine worked no problem. With USB to USB-c adapter I plugged in a USB stick and it came up instantly. I even have a 6 in one card adapter that's USB I put I an SD card plugged it in and it came right up. Now the USB-C to micro USB adapter is not OTG certified I had to by one off Amazon that was so I could use my seek thermal camera that is a micro USB camera. With the Samsung provided adapter it will not work.

Well I know last time i tested mine it work fine then I picked it up in a safe location just in case I need it and used the one I bought on ebay call Rankie. Imo it could be a bad port as mention, could be a bad adapter, or something else. I have not tested it with my microsd card adapter to the usb adapter....

Fyi...plug device into the connector first then plug the connector with device attached to the phone.
