I have purchased a new Galaxy Tab S2 with the idea of using it to transfer photos from my DSLR when I travel. Tried it out and was disappointed to find out that there is an annoying snag. Here is the sequence of events
Moved my class 10 micro SD from my Sony Tablet to the S2
No problem, I can review all folders and content on the card.
Connected my Pentax K30 with a class 10 16gig SD card on board using the Pentax supplied USB cable and an adapter (non Pentax) to match the USB port on the S2, camera set to PTP
the S2 reports that the SD card is corrupt.
Removed the SD card from the camera and connected using an SD card reader
the S2 reports the card as Pentax USB, but displays two of them with identical names
When I open the file it displays the directory of the INTERNAL MICRO SD card and not the directory of the SD card in the card reader?
If I remove the internal micro SD card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
If I replace the internal micro SD card with a class 4 card
the S2 connects correctly both through the camera direct connect and through the card reader correctly
There seems to be conflict running two class 10 cards at the same time on an S2, what gives?
Eh, what file format? ExFat, Fat32 or NTFS?
NTFS is not supposed on Samsung stock ROM.

Hello,
I have read through all the posts here regarding SD cards and so far here is what I think I know for sure.
Alpine supports upto 4GB SD Cards.
Filesystem must be FAT.
Alpine does not support SDHC Cards.
So here is my problem. I have purchased a SanDisk Ultra II 4GB SD Card. I have formatted it using a USB card reader from a command prompt to make sure it formats as FAT. But when I pop it into my Alpine it doesn't recognise its there.
I also have a Kingston 1GB SD Card & cheap OEM (PQI?) 2GB SD Card. These two cards work fine on my Alpine and in my Canon Camera. The 4GB SanDisk card works alright in my camera too. So I am bit stumped at why my Alpine won't 'see' it.
Anyone have any ideas on how to force the Alpine to look for the SD Card? Or any other suggestions how to get this thing working?
Thanks,
Stéphane
Some 4GB cards are SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) and some are not. The Alpine does not support SDHC cards, so make sure you get one that is not SDHC.
I'm aware of SDHC Cards. Usually they have it quite clearly printed on their sticker that they are SDHC. This SanDisk Ultra II 4GB Card is definately not SDHC. I have the original box and it would have mentioned it there or in the instruction sheet. I had read about how the Alpine doesn't support SDHC before I purchased the SD Card. So that is not the problem.
I have insert microsd on adapter, on a cel, on a notebook, but nothing has can format the memory. The device is not supported. Why?
What kind of card and card reader you're using? If it is microSDHC card, make sure it is FULLY compatible w/ the card reader.
My laptop and peripheral readers do not accept a microSD of any size above 2 gigs. All have been updated to no avail.
The latest 8 gig Sandisk microSD will format by using the Sandisk "MicroMate USB" read/writer plugged into a USB 2 port. I need to use the adapter (microSD to SD) as well as their MicroMate adapter.

Mack5305 you have reason! You are the best! I have insert my microsd of 4gb in the sd adapter and next i have inserted the sd adapter in MicroMate adapter and the card is read correctly!! I have format her!! Very thanks!!
I'm planning to use Nexus 7 for displaying pictures that I take from my camera. What is the smallest OTG cable and SD card reader, or a combined product?
Please note that I'm using regular sized SD card.
What I found right now:
Sandisk MicroMate Reader
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable
I think the card will be formatted FAT32 for my camera. If I run Nexus 7 without rooting, can I copy the photos into local memory and view them in gallery? What file explorer should I use?
Right now you need root to mount anything using an OTG cable. It is possible to write an app that doesn't need root though, hopefully a talented dev can whip that up.
i found this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-Male-OTG-To-USB-2-O-Female-Adapter-Convertor-For-CellphoneTablet-/120947568723?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1c29097053#ht_9259wt_1163 seems kinda big. You think we could find something smaller? + this thing too http://www.usbgeek.com/products/usb-smart-cable

Or perhaps your class 10 micro SD is not fast enough for the internal SD card slot.
Also, what is the file system of your SD card(s)?
Last but not least, what file manager did you try?
(Usually, exFat works best on the s2. But of course Fat32 is supported as well. NTFS on the other hand, nope.)
Hi, all,
I bought a USB-C Hub with a SD Card Reader included. When I plug it into my Galaxy Tab S8 tablet, it can't recognise the SD Card (it just shows "charging USB device").
However, when I plug this same USB-C Hub into my Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, the phone can recognise the card reader and SD card and I can view the files.
I'm using the stock ROM on both the Tablet and the phone.
The Galaxy Tab information is:
- Model: SM-X700
- One UI ver 5.0
- Android 13
* I've tried turning on Developer Options and enabling USB Debugging Mode
Hope someone can share if they encountered this and if they found the a solution.
I connect hd 4 tera and is working.. I can't think any reason why sd wont.. If sd isn't fat32, try format it in fat32 just in case..
In Android developer options change Standard USB mode from charging to Transfer Files
Consult Google for how to enable developer options in Android settings.
I've just tested it and it appears to be a problem where the Galaxy Tab s8 won't recognise both an internal MicroSD Card and the USB-C Card reader at the same time.
If I unmount my existing internal Micro SD card, the tablet is able to recognise the memory card in the USB-C Card Reader.
Both micro SD cards are formatted to FAT32.
Seems other people are facing the same problem. A bit of a disappointment....
