I can't seem to mount a USB Stick on my rooted tablet. Using Cabinet Beta or Solid Explorer it's not detected. However, if I use Total Commander+USB-Stick Plugin, it detects it.
I have already tried using StickMount, and still doesn't work.
EDIT: Tested it on my Moto G, and I have no problem at all.
Hi, try using Nexus Media Importer. Works like a charm for me and it has an extra plugin for total commander as well. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but it's imo the best working by far, looked for Free alternatives but couldnt find ones.
E: Oh, just noticed it's about literally mounting and not just opening files etc. that won't work with nexus media importer, sry!

Hi there again, found a New way via the APP stickmount. Reading NTFS works, Writing however only works with fat32(there seems to be a bypass,but this doesnt work for me). With my s2 writing also works in NTFS, and this has omnirom installed. Later on i will give it a shot and install omnirom on my nexus 7 2013.

I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

Thanks for the king soft suggestion. It is much better than quick office pro I got for free on Amazon.

I like king soft but its very laggy. Anyone else ?
I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

im running cm10 and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to mount my internal or external sd card to my mac. Kies just says "connecting" but never actually connects when in MPT mode and nothing when in PTP mode.. wtf do i have to do?! please help me ASAP!
Try airdroid from the app store.

are you running moutain lion? if you are, apple has suddenly stopped allowing the s3 from being mounted, but on lion it will work
I've also needed help with this on my unrooted S3 and my iMac. They don't even see each other.
I think my MBP is on 10.6.... Gave up and used airdroid.
Hi, as I am not 100% satisified with the amount of storage the new nexus 7 tablet provides (lack of SD card slot),I have been trying to watch movies from a USB through an OTG adapter. How can I watch the movies or what apps do I need in order to be able to watch them?
Thanks, Stuart McD
Get an USB OTG cable and Stickmount or Nexus Media Importer. Just plug and open one of the apps. (Stickmount doesn't work for me, I don't know why)

I know this is overkill for what you are trying to do but it may interest some. I got a Western Digital 2 terabyte Live network hard drive and put all of my movies and TV shows on it. It is ethernet only so I have it plugged into my router. They have an android app that let's you access it from anywhere you have Internet. You can stream videos from it or download them. You can also upload to it from any where. It works fantastic.

Can you verify that Nexus Media Importer works for you?
I'm using Nexus Media Importer along with the MX player to watch videos on my Nexus 7. It works fine.

Do you need to download the video to the nexus 7 or can you watch it from the USB?
The videos are kept on the usb stick, no need to download to your Nexus.

Thanks a lot guys, I bought OTG disk explorer pro and it works great.
Hello,
I'm facing an issue when I mount an external flash drive to my nexus 7 using a simple USB OTG adapter. When i plug the external memory in, the flash drive's LED indicator lights up, which means that it's powered by the tablet, but the device itself doesn't react whatsoever and when browsing with ES I don't see any external drive. What am i supposed to do? My nexus 7 is entirely stock and no root, so i don't void the warranty.

ES won't see the drive - you need to use a 3rd party app like Nexus Media Importer to access it.
Yeah, I got total commander plus a paid usb otg plugin for it and now I can use it normally. Turns out Nexus devices can't boot external flash drives on their own.

When my USB port wasn't broken I didn't need any additional apps, I just plugged my USB drive into my OTG cable then into my device and it was instantly recognized. If that doesn't work for you try usinh Chainfire's Stickmount.
You could try OTG helper but that requires root access...
If the light is coming on you should be able to use it. You are just going to need a 3rd party app such as "file explorer".
I can understand the worries of voiding your warranty but you may need root access if you are going to trouble shoot. If things go bad you can always unroot your tablet and take it back to factory settings. WuGFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit has a nice feature on his windows program that does that automatically for you!

Myphonexplorer client on phone and then install companion software on your pc. Works great on WiFi too. Awesome app I have been using for years. You can text, call from your pc and sync all your data and make complete backup of your phone to pc. Working great on my note 4.
Have you tried downloading Airdroid from Amazons App Store? Thats how I got redbox on my Note and it works flawlessly even though the Play Store said it was incompatible.

The stupid thing about sidesyncis that if your pc is wired and not using wifi, sidesync won't work.
I assumed that the dock was wired and that works fine with sidesync.

I should have been more specific about what i was looking for. Airdroid connects, but i was looking for a more "remote desktop" type of thing, not just access to certain data on your phone. Airdroid has a built in way of doing this, but it says its not compatible with note 4. The standard Airdroid stuff is working.
