Im using xbmc but would like to add an external hdd

Not possible atm. For now just connect the external drive to a PC on the same network and present it as an SMB/NFS share and add it to XBMC.

My understanding is that this is an issue that many newer ICS devices no longer have support for "Mass Storage mode" which is what you're referring to when you say "mount." The S3 uses what's called MTP which is music transfer protocol. It IMO sucks by comparison. They changed it for all the "special" people who think that voicing a button to mount a drive is too much work. The best way I've found is to stream it (which is a whole other ball of wax) or to just take out your memory card and put it in a usb micro sd drive. If anyone else knows a way to get mass storage mode (OTHER than using a custom kernel ) please let me know too!

Probably because the s3 uses mtp. It doesn't have the feature to see the phone as regular usb storage

Ok,any good way to stream mkv to jailbroken ps3?Or any good way to copy a file to ps3 without usb?

Try to install media server on your phone, I've not tried it and no longer have a ps3

Which one? I tryed two and they were garbage.
I dont like installing and deleting too many things because it slows down your phone like windows.

With DivX plus codec software on a windows 7 pc you can stream it directly. You have to make sure your pc can see the ps3. I had to fiddle around a LOT to do it. My friend did it easily. I don't know why mine was so hard lol. Just MY luck. But my advice is to unload your video on your pc. Then stream it. Converting or encoding mkv takes forever. If you root your device. And install busybox there's a thread here on xda onshore to get back Mass Storage mode. I've been reading it after your post.

Is there a way to increase available storage that can be portable and convenient.
Any ideas? Please provide links if possible.

You could use some online services like Minus, CX, Dropbox, etc.
Some people have had success using the stock wifi hotspot feature of an android phone running ICS, and running Wifi File Explorer to transfer files from their phone's storage to their kindle but I haven't tried it myself.
I am using Opensuse 11.4 for work and wondering if it is possible to connect my note 2 to the PC via cable.
I want to transfer file to and from the phone.
I installed the mtp tools but the PC still cannot recognize the phone.
You have to install gMTP do a search on Google for it. You might have to compile from source depending on what distro your running. Works great for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You could just install the Airdroid app on the phone and transfer files through any browser.
Thats what I do on my Mac for example.
Nice thing about gMTP is that you don't have to worry about slow upload speeds and getting flagged by some savy network admin that watches there local network. Plus it's faster when your transferring large files etc.

Thanks for the reply, guys. I'll try gmtp. I have airandroid but it is too slow sometimes.
I am looking around but could not find the right answer. I want to miracast or streaming screen cast on a pc and projector for delivering lecture preferably wireless.
I tried [email protected], screencast etc, they need usb connection and ADB. But ADB couldn't detect my note 510 device while it is working for other Android device.
Kindly suggest me any sw that can allow miracast on Windows 7 pc. Or any other good option.
Thanking everyone for your help in anticipation.

Edit: I can connect my device through ADB, so the [email protected] successfully. So, with USB cable screen cast on PC is working. For wireless over WiFi I am still trying.. and looking for help.

Hi, i have one, and i have buy usb otg cable. I can access the files, from google explorer, not from others, but i can not play files, like films.
I can copy the files to the nexus 5x memory and then play them.
Any way to work from the usb otg?
Do you have something that can play that codec? If you don't have something that can play the file it will not open. Try VLC for example and see if they work.

I think he means that he can't play it in the default built in media applications, on account of it not being cataloged in the media database. But like you suggested, VLC should be able to do that.
I had VLC, i can not play my video files from my USB OTG, i can see then, but i can open then, to play
From others file explorers i can not access my USB OTG, only from android 6 explorer
I don't bother with other explorers when I use mine. Did you check permissions for the other file explorers? They are off by default so you may need to turn on some stuff.

I just tried it and it works for me. I ran the scrubber back and forth and stop in various spots using ES. I had to borrow my coworkers porn collection lol.

Hello just wondering if anyone what's tried to use a USB type c flash drive (otg flash drive) like this one
https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ultra-dual-usb-type-c
I'm wondering if the music app will recognize music from a otg flash drive so I can keep music on it instead of the phone? Has anyone tried this?

I just noticed now with the L update none of my file managers can see the thumb drive. I have to use the built in. No apps that can find data can't see the thumb either.

Looks like L does break it. Wonder if M fixes it.
