Memory Stick to SD/MMC adapter?

Is there an adapter for Memory stick to SD/MMC slot so I can use my memory stick to used with my MDA II?
Is there a product like this?(Memory Stick convert to SD/MMC slot)
Thanks!

Only if XDA II have a CF slot...then can use this sort of adapter... What do you think..?

Thanks! :lol: But I already know that... What I want is just Memory stick to SD/MMC slot I dont want to add backpack just to use my memory stick.
Then I guess no such thing exist huh!?

I also tried searching on the Net but found nothing... Hmmm.. too bad..

Thanks for all your help mate... I guess we just need to wait and hope some manufacturer will come up with what we want.

...or XDAIII will have CF Slot! :lol:
P.S. ( If Anyone knows a cheap SD card seller in Europe, please be so kind and let me know - Here in SLovenia are they just 2 Expensive :roll: )
Regards!! :wink:

Yes - I think they should design the upcoming XDA with mutiple memory slots (CF, SD, MMC, MS etc).. Good idea!

LOL... But that sucks if we need to wait for XDA/MDAIII to used different types of memory cards. It means we need to spent another thousand bucks(closed to) to have it. :lol:

well the backpack is not that expensive
of cause one can not always be sure that
using a converter like the backpack to get CF
to use a converter to get MS would work 100%
there will only be such a product as a ms to sd if there was a high enough demand for it
i doubt there is
is it not only sony who use ms ?
sd seem imho to become the std like CF was which is getting old and will prob be outfased in 2 years or something

I guess you're right CF will be faced out in a few years, SD might be the next standard BUT micro drive still using CF isn't it? So I guess there are still some debate on that huh!
I also read somewhere that mini-SD is also coming out soon. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happened in the few years. :roll: :lol:

Belive me - You don't want to have XDAIII with CF slot. Just look at Your precious XDA or XDAII close to Your face during a phone call and imagine it 20% biger and 50g havier. Even now it's way too big as a phone especially that summer is comming and I have totaly no idea how to carry it without all those winter clothes, deep ass hell pockets
Best idea I can imagine is USB port in host mode - I've got HDD 9mm (from laptop computer) in aluminium case connected via USB interface. Imagine U can have 40GB in another pocket to carry all those xxx movies LOL.

which mean that he would like xda3 to support host mode because xda2 dont, so unless his external disk is defect then he can transfer files from his pc not his ppc
if 9mm mean 2.5" laptop hd then i have this case (it's still empty but i will get a fujitcu or seagate 2.5" disk for it soon)
http://www.starkingtech.com/@PRDCT/TT945.htm
it have both firewire and usb2 connecting options
and i will of cause use firewire since irl it's faster then usb2
but it's nice that it have usb2 aswell because far from all computers have firewire yet and usb2 is backward compatible with usb1.1

Will this work with MDA2/XDA2?

It has nothing to do with UR device. U can ask if this reader will work with your SD card (of course it will ) but there is no way to connect XDA to it directly ROTFL.

Here in the US, I'm seeing 256MB SD cards for $30 now, and the high-speed cards for $40.
If that's a lot less than what you pay there, I'd be happy to post one to you. It costs $5 to send something that small to Europe, and it arrives in 4-7 days.

Help me get a third monitor? How can it work? Already have two with a video card...

So folks, I would love some help if you could...
I currently have a Dell Inspiron 530 (quad core) with dual monitors running out of my ATI All in Wonder HD. I'd like to add a third full-size monitor (14"+) but I'm struggling to get a clear answer on what I can do. Any advice?
I'd like to avoid USB monitors because their refresh rate and speed over USB isn't the same as a regular monitor. I'd also like to keep my TV tuner.
Here are my specs normally: http://support.dell.com/support/sys...ile=/systems/inspd530/en/om/html/appendix.htm
Monitors currently running: Dell S199WFP (digital) - DVI, Dell 1704FPT (digital) - VGA
Help! Thank you in advance!

Do you have a vga port on your mother board?
If not, do you have another PCIe slot on your mother board?
If not, I think there are cables that can split the signal and connect 2 monitors as separate.

Integrated wont work as the BIOS is going to default to the add in card in the PICE slot. Really, the only solution to this is to get something like this. The card has 1x VGA 1xDVI and 1xHDMI, the monitor you get will have to have a HDMI input but thats not hard to find now days.

You would need to use either the onboard video if avail - or purchase another video card to support the third monitor.

Wow, thanks! I appreciate all the feedback!
I have the following ports:
1 PCI express x16
1 PCI express x1
2 PCI
The x16 is occupied by the ATI All-In-Wonder HD, which I'd like to keep, since I use the TV tuner more than I play video games.
One of you mentioned using the on-board VGA port, but you can't do that. I tried a few years back before learning about BIOS settings and such.
I originally wanted to just by another PCIe x1 or PCI video card with some outputs, but I'm told that you can't really mix video cards.
But I guess that's my question: can you?
And yes, you're absolutely right. No cloning of screens.
Thanks so much for your interest.

If it's possible get 2 of the same video cards when mixing them, if not at least the same brand should do (I think )

Is there confirmation on this?
If it's all good, anyone have any recommendations for a PCIe x1 or PCI video card?
Also, I posed this question on Yahoo! Answers (of all places) and only received one response...
that will depend on your motherboard, if your motherboard supports ATI's crossfire technology, and both of your graphics card support it, it should work no problem, provided you have a strong enough PSU as well of course..

Yeah... probably best to get confirmation for my answer.... even Im not sure if it's right

Mix-n-match video cards? yeah, you can do that. the only time you CANT do that is when you are running SLI or CrossfireX, in which case you gotta keep the NVIDIA and ATI families together..
heres a descent pcie 1x card

Hmmm interesting. PowerColor? Is that a good brand? I don't necessarily even need 3 more outputs. Just looking for one or maybe two more. Maybe even a video in.

Hmm, now that I look at it, I'm not sure if I'll have the room for a PCIe x1 card to fit in there...

With Windows 7, I can only get two monitors at a time natively.
I had to use an open source app to allow using any monitor, old laptop, win mobile phone, etc. as a monitor. It's works pretty awesome once you play around a bit.

Well notice the first comment/review for the PCIe x1 video card (Newegg) that the other guy posted. The user actually bought the card to expand to three monitors on Windows 7.
Other Thoughts: I have a dual card in the PCI x16 slot, I used this card to add 2 more monitors. O/S is Win7 64 bit.

[HACK] Hardware HDMI/MicroSD Hack? Unused Pins/Connectors

HI! i've found some pics of the nexus 7 motherboard and some connectors seems to be unused... If you look at the "con1" (the one used for micro usb connection) it has 22 pins 0_o. Maybe we can find a hardware hack =D
More images here
We could do a "simple" (dangerous) test: HDMI has a hot plug detection pin, the only way to check is provide one pin with +5v dc and check if any other pin sends a ddc query.... but how can we find the hotplug pin (if there's any)?

From the teardown it was pretty clear there was space for the rear camera as well as HDMI.
The IO presenters were using units with HDMI, so it was probably the same motherboard, populated.
You would have to be a hard-core hacker to want toi add your own HDMI. No idea what is missing beside header and connector. Probably not as bad as adding MHL
I am happy living without HDMI.

Maybe I will never use the hdmi connector but hacking electronical things when i have to hack biological ones every day is a nice way to spend the time xD

Can't back it up right now but will frantically google to find it.. But I remember reading that it had the hardware for mhl but currently not enable in software?
but just tested my jellybeaned gnex and that works fine with mhl so not sure how much truth there is to that.

I can vouch for the photo of a Nexus 7 with an HDMI port, as well as a comment from a presenter that the special units they were using for presentations had HDMI.
No, I can not provide any links. That was thousands of pages ago...
I do not believe the Nexus 7 has the MHL chip, or any provision for it. Asus is not listed as a MHL provider.
Samsung (Nexus) is a MHL provider, so the hardware there would not be a surprise.

In that teardown review (where the OP got that image, I believe), they mistakenly said it supported HDMI out and included a picture of the HDMI cable from the nexus Q. They later retracted that comment.
That might be the source of the confusion.

There was at least one actual picture of a Nexus 7 with an HDMI port on the bottom.
I think a reviewer got their hands on a presenter's unit.

The image you're looking for is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736916
The internel dev versions (the ones used for presentations) had mini hdmi.
So, it does make sense that theres space on the board.

Thank you for that picture link! I searched everywhere for that...
At least that is one less reason to think I have lost my mind...

I'd love to be able to solder on an sdcard slot, if that's all that's needed. It's generally pretty easy to solder to headers if you're careful about it.

From the teardown, I don't recall seeing any space for an SD card.
Rear camera - yes, HDMI - yes, but not SD Card.
I could be mistaken...
Also, the external storage problem has been pretty much solved with a USB OTG cable and stickmount.

we could solder a slod for an additional sd card... there's enaught space to fit in a sd card without "external" access.

we're counting pins and waiting for more info =P
look here: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/KjNsrjlvHZdFWEGF.huge
we have 14 free pins and an hdmi data connection requires only 12 wires + 5v + grnd.
i'm looking for someone who can do some simple tests on the unused pins.
when i will have the nexus 7 i'll do it by myself at uni but maybe someone who have the I/O version now could do something meantime.

Looks pretty interesting to me hope we cram a sd card In there somewhere.

[BUG] USB OTG - could we get some N4 community members to help raise this issue

Hey, I purchased a 16GB model, with the intent of using USB OTG to use in conjunction with USB flash drives like we can with basically all other phones these days - but obviously it's still my fault for purchasing on the first day without knowing that USB OTG isn't supported on the Nexus 4.
Now that it's pretty much all but confirmed that USB OTG isn't working on Mako, maybe we could star the 'bug' on the official android bug report website, and maybe at a comment to voice opinions that some of you (as well as me).
If we all star it & maybe add a comment, it could help?
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=40087

Please don't add a comment. As noted in that thread, adding a comment spams everyone who has previously commented or starred. If you have something new to add, fine, but if you're just posting "Yeah, this stinks!" or the equivalent, please refrain.
(Anyhow, I'm not sure how much that bug report will help; it seems most likely that the hardware just doesn't support USB host mode.)

I'm holding out hope that it's a software issue at this time until it's confirmed by Google. I know they wrote Mako can't supply 5V but even with a powered USB hub devices don't work.

I'm not entirely sure this is a bug. It may be a design choice combined with poor documentation.
Look here:
http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2809827&topic=2809758&ctx=topic
This page clearly says "USB is not supported for connecting such devices."
It appears to me that USB OTG is not supported on the nexus 4.
We can keep our fingers crossed that this is fixable via a software/firmware update. Although I'm concerned that that USB OTG is hardware incompatible with the Slimport display solution LG has chosen. Both USB OTG and slimport display use the micro USB connector's pin #4 for different purposes. USB OTG needs a cable that pulls it to ground to indicate to the phone that it should operate in USB host mode. I'm less familiar with slimport, but from what I've read it seems to perform some signaling on pin 4 to enable and stream video.
If the two really are mutually exclusive, I personally wish they had ditched slimport in favor of USB OTG since I can (eventually) mirror the display using miracast.

They just updated that page today (dec 6 depending where you are). So it clearly says that... only after the phone has been out 3 weeks until today the documentation said it should work. they basically just said "yes it works" and then a month later said "lol jk no it doesnt"

If you're holding out hope, I appreciate your optimism but it probably isn't going to happen... I'm considering calling up Play support and asking for a refund so I can get a 16gb, even though that probably won't happen for a few weeks,
BTW... just called the play store. They will NOT return your device because of this issue. Even for an exchange (I just wanted a 16gb) I don't understand their logic but because they changed their documentation, I guess that removes them of liability... IMO that does nothing of the source. I'm filing a BBB report now, which is something I never thought I'd do to google... this is BS.

Class action is probably the best way to handle this. I'd much rather have USB host mode.
I voided my warranty.

I bought the Nexus 4 under the assumption that I could at least get USB OTG to satisfy the lack of a micro SD card. FML.

Call again and talk to someone else, as long as you are within the return window, you can return for any reason at all, with a restocking fee.
Or you could scalp it on ebay to and make money on the whole deal :shrug: I'm just glad I didn't know about OTG when I purchased it, or I would have gone 8GB.

Hi I found out that the CPU itself can use OTG so maybe we could expoid that? Hope I helped.

Project FrankenNexus

Hey guys,
So i got bored and decided I wanted to try expanding the storage capabilities of my N7. Using StickMount Pro, an OTG cable, a Western Digital 500GB HDD and some double sided tape, I mounted the HDD to a back case and viola... I now have a 516GB N7!!! In the near future I will attempt to add a 4-port USB hub... stay tuned!
UPDATE:
Well this started as a bored guy having fun and has evolved into an actual project.
I've decided to scale back somewhat in an attempt to be more power friendly.
On this attempt I scrapped the HDD (for obvious reasons). I modified the OTG cable and added a 4 port USB hub with a dongle for my mouse. The remaining 3 USB ports will be used for 2x mini USB card readers w/ 32GB micro SD cards and another dongle for my wireless keyboard.
BTW the flip case makes a great mouse pad.
UPDATE 12/29:
Now that some of my X-Mas goodies have arrived I've added 2x mini USB readers and 2x SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD cards.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness as the rest of my goodies have yet to arrive...
UPDATE: 01/10/13:
This project has morphed a few times now but I finally have a configuration that works for me. I wanted to make this a project that anyone can do without all the soldering and modding that I see in other threads around the web. I originally wanted to make a case with the mods built in to it, but after some serious consideration, I decided that I wanted a much easier project ( I am quite lazy). The only real modification I made was to the USB OTG cable, but is not necessary to make this work.
So here's some pics:

kudos for trying to work on the storage problem..but i wouldnt really call duct taping a harddrive to a case a "mod"

velcro woulda been a smarter idea as thats what i plan on doing using otg cable and usb-to-mini adapter so no extra cable

As you can see I have too much time on my hands and don't take anything seriously. This was just a fun way to waste some time. As for battery life... I get about 2 hours if I'm lucky lol.

SSDs are getting cheaper and use less power, that might be a route to go for the next mod

loooooooooool

Off topic, but what is that shell case you're using, OP?

Though implementation was a little funny, this is an excellent idea!
SSD and some more creative work with cable shortening/plug modding would make a pretty sweet beast.
Thanks for sharing!

Not really a mod but I do like the concept...Imagine having a really thin SSD drive strapped to the back of your n7

Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery

Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

Hey,
If you don't mind me asking, what case is that?

SSD and some more creative work with cable shortening/plug modding would make a pretty sweet beast.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm currently working on a few different versions. The one pictured, one using a SSD (which is much more portable and uses way less battery) and one using a 4 port USB hub and 4 x 128 GB Flash Drives. More pictures to come upon successful completion.

Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery

Don't waste your time using a HDD as battery life suffers greatly but my next attempts are going to be much improved and hilarious too

this is too funny

what about making a case for the hdd that it sits in and clips to the edges of the nexus 7 like a car mount but a hdd to the nexus type mount
