Google Nexus 7 Tablet (2013) 64gb micro sd card not working

[fredggy]

I got this meemova and put in a 64gb micro sd card. On computer it is working and I can transfer file but on my rooted nexus the folder is empty. Its seems like nexus 7 cannot detect micro sd card of 64gb. Anyone tried with a 64gb card before?

My card format in ex-fat or NTFS, both also don't work.

I am running the same items as you. Nexus loader is very specific that the card has to be formatted FAT32. However, Windows refuses to format this way past 32 GB in size. I had to use a separate format utility for this to work. Had failures with a few and finally found one that worked. I will look and respond back.

Missed the rooted part originally. I wonder if it is the same issue?

I don't think its the rooted problem. Its either Android 4.4 KitKat problem or like you said the reading of the format.

I found this method and it works.

I have a Meenova also, with a 64GB card. It's not a KitKat issue, it's a format issue. Computers can read exFAT, but most devices cannot. You have to reformat the card to FAT32. The Panasonic SD Formatter will format the card properly (in a snap) without touching the "protected area", and without having to create partitions.

That's outdated info and the method is outdated. There are now formatters that will do the job quickly and simply, with just one click of a button.

I have one of these:
Dane-Elec Media Streamer: Computers : Walmart.com
and it works great, plus doesn't take up the micro-usb slot.

Does the Meenova require the device to be rooted or can you use an app such as Nexus Media Importer?

I've just ordered one for the Nexus 7 I'm getting for Christmas - can't wait The site says it works with the Nexus media importer and doesn't need to be rooted.

This sounds like a very interesting product.

Nope, no rooting necessary; just Nexus Media Importer.

This is even better...
SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive

It's the size of a thumb drive and will stream videos or music while in your pocket or on your keyring, etc. It works with Android and iOS.

It comes in 2 sizes (16GB and 32GB) but they're actually removeable microSD cards. So I bought the cheaper one and removed the 16GB card and replaced it with a 64GB card I already had. It's rechargeable and will stream even while plugged in and charging.
-------------------------------

EDIT: I forgot to add that it uses WebDAV protocol, so many video apps and even file managers (that support WebDAV) can connect to it, so you're not limited to using only the SanDisk App. So it can be used for more than just streaming media. I also use it as portable storage and for transferring files back and forth between all my devices and/or platforms.

I'm getting mixed messages with that one. Does it actually support video files other than mp4 or mov through a third party app like you can with the Meenova plugin or with the seagate wireless plus. I can use the nexus media importer for the meenova to play, through BS player, and transfer pretty much all formats and with nplayer through samba shares that will also play pretty much anything thrown at it, but I keep reading that the Sansa is limited to mp4 or mov files. Does that only apply to IOS, or Android as well.

No that's not correct. It's just a micro SD card, so it'll support any kind of file you put on it.

The issue of file support pertains only to the Sandisk APP, and that only applies to streaming. But you don't have to use the app. You also have an option to copy the file to your device, instead. If you save it to your device, you can open it in any app you want.

However, as I said in my previous post, there are video apps and file managers that can connect directly to the sandisk drive (to stream or download), without having to use the Sandisk APP at all. In those cases, the file format supported is unlimited because it's determined by the app you choose to open it with.

One last thing I forgot to mention is that it also supports access via web browser. If you type in the URL of the device (I forget it offhand, but it's very simple) into the browser of your choice, you can access all the files on the sandisk drive, just like a file mgr/explorer.

For example, if you access the device via web browser and click on an mkv file, you'll be prompted to choose the app that want use to open it (like BS Player or MX Player, etc).

All of that info applies to both Android and iOS. However, iOS does have a slight advantage. It has a FANTABULOUS third party video player (called "It's Playing") that actually has built-in support for the Sandisk Flashdrive and supports MKV with full 1080p and supports AC3 with Dolby licensing.
------------------------

EDIT: oh, and the device has security encryption. It can be password protected (optional).

Good to know. Thanks for the information.

No problem

This is a much more compact solution than my flash reader and OTG cable, maybe someday I'll look into one of them. This works tho, and even with buying Nexus Media Importer I'm out less than $15, and it works with my flash drives.

Oh definitely. OTG is still an excellent option and easier on the wallet.

The main advantage of the Sandisk Wireless Flashdrive is that it leaves the micro USB port free so your device can be charging while you're streaming videos from the Flashdrive. So depending on your needs, that may or may not be worth the extra expense.

For me... I sometimes watch three or more movies in a row, but the Nexus' battery won't last that long, and it can't charge while an OTG device is plugged in. So the wireless solution was a godsend to me.

But if you're not actually streaming, and your main interest is just being able to copy the files to your Nexus, then the Meenova (or any OTG setup) is probably your best choice. Nexus Media Importer copies files extremely fast.
-----------------------

EDIT: just in case anyone was wondering... In terms of cost, the Meenova is no more expensive than an OTG cable and a flash drive. The Meenova is only $12 USD, but it's an OTG adapter and a flash drive in one, so it doesn't require an additional piece of equipment, like an OTG cable does.

You also have an option to copy the file to your device, instead. If you save it to your device, you can open it in any app you want.

CORRECTION. I just realized that part of the info I posted was incorrect. The SanDisk app does NOT give you the option to open the file in another app.

However, that's not a big deal, because like I said earlier, you don't have to use the SanDisk app. There are video players and file managers that can stream (or download) directly from the flashdrive, without needing the app. So you're not limited to any certain file formats as long as you use a third party app to access the drive.

I just wanted to clear that up so I didn't mislead anyone.
