Hi all,
I have searched this Q & A thread and have found nothing. Many of us Note 4 owners probably had SD cards. I would like to know if any of the current USB OTG card readers are compatible with the Note 5. I'd like to be able to access content on my sd cards without having to use a computer...
Thanks for any help.
I am using an OTG cable with a usb micro sd card reader and it works perfectly. Can't say about specific micro usb card readers. I am going to get a Meenova Dash when black is back in stock at Amazon.
I have one that works, but the end won't completely mount into the phone with my case on. Is there any OTG cable that's a normal size?

if its a cheap otg cable with rubber insulation, just get an x-acto knife and trim down the housing to fit. (that's what I did with mine to fit my S4 case)
If not, I highly recommend this.

When I try to read my SDHC card on my Galaxy Note 5 the phone automatically over-writes my card with a bunch of empty Android folders? My pictures are gone and when I plug the card into a computer I get a message saying card is corrupt, would I like to repair...

i was wondering if this will work on the nexus 7 for expanded storage *root+stickmount as i don't want to be carrying a cable and then a card reader
in case no one had experience with it, i guess I'll have to find out and report back
What I wanna know is, will it charge it through the Micro USB port?
well the USB is two way so theoretically it should work right?
That's what I was thinking...
I just bought this card reader I'll try it tomorrow.

If you try this, can you report if it's possible to charge through this while mounting sdcard or using USB. I haven't got the Nexus 7 yet, and will only consider it if it's possible to charge while using usb host. But i'm curious about being able to use external storage and charging at the same time, cause i want a 7" tablet to replace the screen in my car.
I tried to read in the other threads about external storage, and quite a few is asking about this as well, but i haven't been able to find an answer to the question.

That doesn't work with my galaxy note since the reader can only read from 1 source at a time (e.g. It can't read sd card and usb at the same time). I also tried plugging the reader into my note's micro usb port and plugging the charging cable into the reader's micro usb port and it does not charge the phone.
Havn't tried it on the n7 since I havn't got around to rooting it yet to use with stickmount but I reckon the results will be the same.

Thanks for the reply!
I think the only possible solution for this might be an OTG-Y cable
Found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10LgZFIawo
Which might work, the question is just if the Nexus 7 accepts it. Anyhow, in his description he writes that it's to power connected USB elements, but in the video he claim that the tablet is charging.
Why doesn't someone make this into a dock with a back?
Then you could have a memory card installed, connected to a keyboard/mouse, and power. Then you could just dock the N7 and have access to all that.
that would be sweet
does it work then?
I got it today and it worked great while it lasted
Came home and realized I have lost it somewhere, I blame google /Asus for not giving us a SD slot

You lost it..? OMG you just got it. But it worked? Now I'm curious. Hmmm. Might have to order one.
Yeah, I really want to know as well. Did it properly charge while using USB or SD? If it did I'll probably order one ASAP.

I wasn't going to bother rooting cause there was nothing I needed that the device didn't have as in but looks like I now have a reason to go read the rooting tutorial I saw somewhere around here
Looks like there is a chance that my wish has been granted so i will be able to charge and use microUSB as OTG at the same time.

Hope so
Note: I haven't looked for a solution for this for quite a while, but last time i checked it seemed as a kernel hack was needed.
With this thing I can just watch video and music that I have on the card directly, I don't need to transfer it to the device or anything right?
Sidenote, will the nexus 7 show up with a drive letter when I plug it into my computer after rooting??
Hi, found this little gadget on DX:
http://dx.com/p/smart-micro-usb-car...m=edm&utm_campaign=20121114tablets-cell-phone
It sais its for Samsung, but for android, so would this work with our N7? I realize the whole USB mounting is broken on 4.2 but once that's fixed, would it work?
And since I'm starting a new thread, would it work on Sony Xperia Arc S? USB otg works, but with some other app then here on our Nexus.

Guessing, I would say there is a fair chance. Regular sd card adapters do work.
Bit overpriced unless you really need all those features in once device. I am happy with my otg cable, and whatever device I need to use.
There are cheaper options, I got the card reader and usb female to micro usb or whatever it is on the nexus 7 for a dollar each shipped, on ebay, slow shipping though but cheap and work, trying to get links for you.

If you haven't already bought it take a look at the 'Kingston USB microSD Reader'. I would post a link or image but I need more posts first. I found it on Amazon UK under that name.
It's cheap, it's compact and it's made by Kingston. I haven't got it yet but just ordered myself one. As long as you don't mind a male micro USB to female USB A cable as well.
Hopefully someone in the higher eschalons is either already thinking about this or designing.
Something ideal for these devices, would be a case with built-in micro USB connector to the device, with either a standard USB connector on the case including a grove/cut out for a stick to sit flush(ish) or even better..... a built in micro SD slot.
Is this already in the making and what's others thoughts?

This is actually a very cool idea. It would be nice to have a case with built in micro USB to micro SD slot.

I bought official Samsung adapter from their website, it is the one specifically listed for the Tab 3 8. Here is how it's advertised:
This Micro USB to USB connection pocket-size device turns your Galaxy Tab into a USB host, allowing you to connect compatible USB accessory devices such as keyboards, mice, thumb drives and more to your Tab.
When it arrived yesterday, the manual lists two compatible devices: USB memory stick and a Samsung laser printer. Needless to say, I am very disappointed & hope I can return it.
As I well understand, you don't even try to connect mouse, keyboard via USB? Just give it a try. It should works. I don't have Samsung OTG cable, but owning a different brand and everything works(pendrives, mouse, keyboard).
Sorry if I misunderstand you

I tried a USB hard drive, locked it up.
Do you have HDD with separate AC? If not you might never connect with that kind of HDD

I did try a mouse - it works, but I see no value to that when I have a touch screen. I only got the adapter so I could watch movies from my Passport without having to copy them.

I just tried my thumbdrive/OTG and it worked fine.
I then tried my Toshiba external hard drive, and it recognized it on the tablet, but
the external drive kept beeping, and I could not feel the drive spinning up. I took the external off
and plugged it into my computer and it worked fine.
Im wondering that since the external isn't powered with an adapter, but relies on the juice from
the source, maybe the tablet doesn't have enough to spin it up to work.
I don't have an external hard drive with a separate power source to check.
Could this be whats wrong ? I agree with Marek and think it needs the power source.
I haven't tried a wireless mouse and keyboard but will next.
Im using the StickMount APK also.

External power might be a reason, I don't have one that uses external power.
Per the 'manual', the max size of a thumbdrive is 32GB, may also be why my 2TB Passport didn't work.
Good point about the 32gb limit. I got ahold of a external powered and will check it. Should know in about an.hour and will post the results.

I plugged a 250gb powered external HD, that was on a Win 7 machine, into the OTG for my T310.
It recognized it, but came up as empty, and unsupported file system.
Since there was already stuff on it, I didn't want to format it or anything to see if
I could get further with it.
But it did recognize it as a drive. I don't know why it couldn't see anything on it though.
Im gonna see if I can get a 64gb thumbdrive and try that. I know the 32gb works.

My 32 gb worked fine, it's just not useful for the reason I bought the adapter. I really wanted stream, via the tablet, off my passport. Oh well. Stick it in a drawer & sell it with the tablet when the time comes.
First of all android devices dont support NTFS formated Drives out of the box.
Second , most external usb hard drives require more than 500 milliamps to 1amp in order to work.
Solutions,
Get ntfs support from the play store.
Use external power supply for hard-drives.
External HDD

I've tested a WD MyBook 2TB external on my tab and it works fine. My hard drive was formatted as ext4 from my linux box and mounted up just fine. Data transfers as fast as you can write it.
External power is a must.
How long do you think that battery can spin a drive?

It would be great with some sort of expectation, what purpose did you buy this usb cable for?
somebody connected a RCA cable with adapter microUSB/USB?
For the power supply: maybe an external powered USB hub? It won't be portable but it might work.
I have a Sprint LTE TAB 3 7.0, I cant seem to find a Microusb to HDMI, any thoughts?
Thanks
I have a micro USB SD card reader for my S7E that I check trail cam pics with. I put the micro to usb-c adapter on the reader and plugged it into my Note 8.... nothing happened. Am I missing something here or do I need a usb-c card reader? TIA
