Home » Samsung Galaxy Usb Adapter » Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to a samsung galaxy tab 2?

Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to a samsung galaxy tab 2?

Q. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and would like to connect my Seagate external 2TB to it. I have a OTG usb adapter which works fine with some usbs I tried using, but when connecting my hard drive to it the tablet says it is blank or unsupported.

If it is possible, what do I have to do? I'd prefer the option of just buying another accessory if possible, since doing the FAT32 formatting and such seems like a hassle (I have about 800gb of stuff I want to use and would rather not be limited to 32gb)

Thanks.

A. As it is Android so you will have to use it with FAT32 or FAT File System as Android doesn't support NTFS USB or Memory Card.You can Backup your things in PC or Laptop(Whichever you have) and Format the Hard Drive through the Tablet and then copy the contents and use
Sorry to say that you will have to do with whichever filesystem the Tablet uses

Original Question

I want to use my aiwa stereo speakers to play music off my tablet, how?
Q. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab, with a usb adapter. I want to use my stereo speakers to play music on it, but I don't know how because the cords and plugs are confusing.

A. You cannot simply plug any pair of speakers into a tablet and expect to hear sound. I am assuming the speakers are passive, i.e., they're not amplified. The tablet cannot amplify full sized speakers like they do for headphones. You'll need to hook up the headphone output of your tablet to a stereo input on an amplifier, and then connect the speakers to the amplifier. Otherwise you can simply connect a set of powered computer speakers to the tablet. If you don't have an amp and want something minimal you can always get one of those small T-amps like the link below.

Original Question

Will my phone usb charger adapter work for other things?
Q. I've a Samsung Galaxy phone, the charger is simlpy a usb cord wih a wall adapter. Since it is just a usb cord adapter, is it safe to assume that I can use the adapter for other usb charging cords, specifically a PSP.

A. I use my HTC adapter for charging up my LG 3D tv shutter glasses because you don't get supplied with a charger..just a usb cable.
I'm assuming because you can use the usb cable plugged into a pc or laptop to charge a phone you can charge other things too if its plugged into the charger instead as the voltage should be the same.
