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.

[Q] considering purchase

I have only had my first gen Nexus 7 for a month and am considering selling it (to my sister) so I can purchase the new one.
(of all the bad timing, news of the new one started the day after I unboxed mine)!
Just a few questions that may help me decide.
1 - has anyone tried the new nexus with the first gen official dock (that uses the contacts)
2 - same question for a Poetic Slimline Portfolio Case for Google Nexus 7
sorry not able to post links to the above components as my status in the forum is too new.
I ordered the above 2 components about the same day they started talking about the new nexus (bad timing for me)
it would likely be a deal breaker for me if I have to get rid of these before they even showed up at my door!
Thanks for any helpful info

I dont know about those accessories but I would assume your sister would buy them for her Nexus. If you are getting enough for it that you feel like the upgrade is worth it, then go ahead! You won't be disappointed, this thing destroys it's predecessor!

still considering.....

The new Nexus 7 does not have the 4 pogo pins, so I don't think your accessories would work. Also the form factor is different, so I don't think the case will fit.

thanks

that too bad, the dock was a nice feature with version 1 of the nexus 7. Of course more of a head scratcher with me is "no micro-sd slot" even my wifes cheap ass Asus MeMo has a micro-sd slot.

Google does not put SD slots on any device. To be honest SD card slots are going the way of the Floppy Drive. Sure it's mildly annoying.. AT FIRST... but after having devices without them for well over a year now, I don't miss them at all. You adapt. Trust me.

I made sure my present nexus was the 32 gig version. I think that in the States you can do without the sd slot better because you have access to streaming services such as Spotify, unfortunately most of those services aren't available to us Canucks so we have to keep our music on our devices. I have found that 32 gigs is LOTS of storage for my tunes.

Mini MicroSD Card Reader for Android by Meenova (Expandable Storage for your N5)

Hey guys, so I thought I might write my opinion on this awesome piece of technology that is called Mini MicroSD Card Reader for Android.
First, for those of you who are not familiar with it:
This thing allows you to have expandble storage for you Nexus (or almost any other Android phone).
I bought it because I like installing a lot of ROMs, watching a lot of movies, etc. So all I have to do is to hook the Micro SDcard reader into my Nexus 5 and just like that, all of my data is there.
This is the link to their website: http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html
It even comes with a little keychain holder. It so small and compact that you wouldn't even regret spending 12$ on it. And you can even pick a color.
Note: For this to work, you need to install a free app from the Play Store called "StickMount". It's made by Chainfire, and it's free, although you can purchase it to support him.
I attached some photos down below and I also urge you to watch some videos about how simple it is.
Continue watching other videos about this, just so that you would be sure that you want it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mini+micro+sd+card+reader+meenova
I bought it and Im very happy with it. It works perfectly.

I have and it works normally.

There's Already a thread on this. You could've just posted your thought on it in that thread

Works like a champ!

Wish they would have put some more thought/design into the USB adapter.
Otherwise, this looks like a great item. On the fence about getting one.

Breakdown of the reader
I used it for several months with no problem at all.
Exfat and NTFS worked with card to 64gb in FAT32...
Recently, it is not any more recognized on telephone or computer.
Tested with various cards : 4gb, 8gb, 32gb and 64gb.
Under different format.
Anybody had this problem?
Thank you

I had the same problem. It was dead. They replaced it for free...all they required were a few pictures of the meenova not functioning.

Do we require root access to use this on our Nexus 5 ?

Not if you use Nexus Media Importer. For Stickmount,the answer is yes.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure how good it is, but it's 4 times cheaper, so might be worth it? Slightly bigger though, as it also has the usb to pc connection. There were a few other different ones on that site, might be worth a look if you don't mind waiting 20 days for china to ship it to you

Micro USB to Type A Adapter
FWIW, the Meenova comes with a micro USB to type A adapter that allows it to be used with a notebook or PC without removing the SD card. Of course that can be purchased separately and probably doesn't justify the cost differential but I also think the Meenova reader is smaller and lighter which could be a factor if you plan to move the phone while using it.

Just got mine in the mail today, this thing is AWESOME!! The only thing is, at least for me, I can't delete anything through the phone, which, I guess is a good thing in a way.

It might be a problem with your micro SD card. Try checking for errors using "Tools" in properties for the drive on a PC or notebook.

Does anyone have the Honor V20 or View 20 and can you verify if the phone supports any kind of expandable memory. So far, from what I've read it is ambiguous. Same problem and question for the Nova 4?
Thank you

The problem is NM card is not much available in the market and hence only few have access to it. Need to wait for someone to have both with them.

That doesnt make sense Huawei release new technology and not including it in their flagship line up contradicts the purpose of introducing it.
May be a software update can bring the support for it.

Honestly, I don't mind if it's expandable or nor, but being it expandable would've been a great bonus.

What ever amount of internal storage you have I will prefer to have external storage when I wanted to change my device I would just move all my data to external storage and will use the same card in the new device it will prevent me the hectic work of copying data.

It's confirmed from the initial information itself. But what not confirmed is does it support Huawei NM Card.

Nope, afraid not. Two nano SIM slots and a NM doesn't read in the SIM 2 slot.
Worth noting I'm in the UK so, there may be an international version of the handset or something.

Yes. Had the mate20 pro and returned it for this as it was alot cheaper on my contract. Purchased a NM but unfortunately doesn't work in either slot. Fortunately I'm still within 14 day return period for that too as it was £100 lol

Just in case can you deep dig into settings may be there is a hidden settings or some option in developers options.
Did you try by formatting card to fat32 format?
That doesn't make sense realising a special card and not allowing it to use in flagships.
I don't get why Huawei released it in the first place.

Gone through everything, work for a phone network and Honor reps are saying the same (that's not saying much, granted) but I've gone through dev options etc tried everything I can think of

Thanks. In that case it's a bummer.
May be they will enable it in future updates.

If it doesn't have the hardware to support NM, it's not something that can be enabled of fixed with a software update. I have had a mate 8,9 and 10. I refuse to buy the mate 20 because of this nano memory proprietary, inferior and overpriced cards.
I love my Nova 3 using my 400gb micro sd card. From what I've read, the Nova 4 also doesn't support memory expansion. These are fatal marketing errors by huawei.
Thank you all for the discussion.

Is it possible to go from China to Global rom using the 8GB/128GB device?

Hi all,
Dropping in because i can't seem to find a definitive answer when it comes to this particular device, Is it possible to go to the global rom, Simply because i want all the appropriate google services to work, I realize that it can be a bit risky going root and magisk and the like but i'm not after anything fancy, I've already started the process to unlock the bootloader and won't be able to do anything with it until friday aside from use it in it's current form.
There was another thread but everyone mentions the 6GB/128GB device rather than the 8GB/128GB

6GB is enough for mid tier chipset, let 8GB+ for flagship ones. But if it 8/256GB, I'll jump in just because more storage never hurts nowdays. I don't use clouds so even 128GB will be filled to brim in 3 months, and hybrid slot sim suck

Yes there is 8GB RAM edition from N8Pro, China only.
I guess you can turn it to Global or Indian by unlocking the bootloader and flash the firmware using Mi Flash

Oh yeah i knew there is an 8 gig version, i was looking to buy that but my seller (Authorized Reseller) told me there won't be such model for some time because it's a fluff spec... But now that I've been using the 6/128 version i have to say I'm glad because almost all the talk about this device concerns the 6/128 model...
