Well, the camera showed up for a while after I switched to PTP. And the camera control software worked! But now it's stopped again.

Well, I ordered a StarTech OTG cable on the basis the two I had tried were unbranded and StarTech have had a number of recommendations and are often listed as tested and working with Nexus 7. No joy with the camera BUT - ES File Manager can see the USB stick!! Progress of a sort. Just need to...

Everything's worth checking :)

Well, I have tried USB memory stick with FAT file system yes. I have also tried other devices - for example the Nexus should be able to see my DSLR camera using remote shooting software and it doesn't.

Re: Nexus 7 won't work with OTG cable Yes, ES sees no USB ans StickMount (on the rooted device) doesn't see a device to mount.

Re: Nexus 7 won't work with OTG cable Odd isn't it? But there are people who say you must root the device; there are people who say you need Nexus Media Importer; there are people who say it just works. Who is right among all these and why are there so many diverse views? But it makes no...

I have tried rooting but that makes no difference

And yet research shows GS3 should be ok with UHS-1 at 32GB... So how do we know what really works? Lots of people seem to have 64GB working, but what cards are they using and why should some work and some not? GS3 is supposed to support SDHC and SDXC...

So this seems to be a memory card size issue. If I use a 4GB card, I can play and everything looks ok. If I use a 32GB card, I can't play, and almost all my folders get renamed starting with a "mu" symbol. All folders are then shown as empty. Doesn't matter if I format the card on the PC or on...

Here's an even stranger discovery... If I copy a clip to the phone memory, and it is playable (after much fiddling with the format!), I can then copy that file from phone to SD card - and it's unplayable. It will play from the phone memory but not from card memory. The videoplayer sees it...

Thanks for the input. Is there a way to test the theory - or a way to overcome it? Even clips that used to play have stopped playing since I put a new bigger SD card in the phone and copied files to it from the old card. But now newly created clips won't play either...

An odd problem. This seems to apply to a number of video formats in movie clips I have... If I use a file manager (ES for example, but not limited to ES) to find a video clip on a shared folder on the LAN, I can open and play the clip on the GS3 perfectly well. If I copy the clip (on the device)...
