Just wanting to know what would happen if I attached a Micro usb to my phone with a female usb end
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Femal...cessories_Cables_Adapters&hash=item45fd574d6b
and then attached a SD card reader to it.
Would it bring up external storage on the phone or would it just do nothing other than confuse the phone?
Just wanting to know before I go out and buy
Thanks In advance
It would just do nothing at all I think because I don't think the One X supports USB Host and I presume these are pretty similar things

Hey guys, is there an external card reader that would plug into the micro USB port on the captivate? I've been searching for a while but all I can find is micro SD to SD card adapters when I would like to import photos from a camera right into the phone
It would be a shame to have to just use micro SD cards to use the internal slot. Thanks!

I dont know of one that exists. But if youre trying to import your pictures you are going to be better off just inserting the micro sd into your phone and then copying all the image files to the phone. Its essentially the same process you would do if you had an external SD card reader except you actually have to put the SD card in the phone.
here u go.

I'm not sure that there is such a beast that would plug into the microUSB, and if there was, I'm not certain that the Captivate has the functionality/interface to read and copy from the microUSB Slot. I'm pretty sure you need the computer as a go-between if the microSD isn't in the phone itself.
I think your best bet is directly putting the microSD from the Camera into the Cappy or you'll have to upload them to the computer first, then to the phone. Sorry
I've always wanted something like that, its a great idea but such a thing doesn't exist. Closest thing would be to get the flash drive adapter with the microSD slot built in.

Yeah, that's not really possible. For one thing it's a jack, not a plug. For another, it would need to power the device attached to it while still being able to be powered from the same port for charging. For another, it would need to be able to configure as a device or a host which would really be hard. And another, it would need to have drivers for SD readers, FAT, NTFS, and all kinds of other things.
this would probably be you best bet

Wow. I stand corrected. That's a really flexible controller chip. They should have shown a backup battery being used as well in the pics too.
a kernel with USB HOST mode,
a USB OTG cable
a USB to micro USB cable
a USB card reader
a SD to microSD adapter.
and you can do exactly what you want....
but you will need a back pack to carry all your cables and adapters.
One step could be saved with this

But nobody sells it, and who wants to splice USB cables?
This one?
Like this one?

I'm looking for the same.
How about this?

This part is odd:
- With own browser and ES browser
- File system format: FAT32 (does not support NTFS)
in general for any phone or tablet
an external hardrive like 1 or 1.5TB with USB will be a dream, u can power the drive with extra USB. But what about powering device with the screen? I think it will run out of juice much faster in this kind of setup. Your thoughts?
From the research I have done, it requires an org cable, an USB y-cable for hooking up an external power, and a from with org support. The two cables can be found on Amazon for 2-5$. You could use any USB charger or for portability... get one of the battery packs with USB output. Portable, but it is a lot to carry around.
You can also use a powered USB hub in place of the y cable.

Hi again
I was also wondering if it's possible to swap internal memory with a microsd card connected via a micro to USB cable using a card reader or can it only be done with internal microsd slot ? And also a stupid question but thought to just ask. Is it possible to transfer videos or files from a microsd card (card reader)/flash drive to the galaxy note 2 using that same cable ? I don't currently own the note 2 but I will soon. I'm just waiting to see if a 32gb will become available by the end of this month. Thanks so much for all your help !
What you're looking for is an OTG (on the go) cable... It'll allow you to connect usb devices to the micro usb, including keyboards, mouse, hdd, and even usb drives. You'll need to be rooted in order to use one though.
Swapping memory .. Etc

No that's the cable I'm referring to when I say 'micro to USB' cable. I'm wondering if you can swap internal memory of the galaxy note 2 for a microsd card connected by that cable using a card reader (with the microsd in it) or can you only swap internal memory with the microsd card in the phone and also if files or videos can be transferred from the microsd or a flash drive using that cable to the galaxy note 2. Thanks !
Been trawling eBay the last few days for a TF card reader you plug directly into the S3s micro USB port, and I'm not talking about using an OTG cable and a normal card reader, I want something with micro USB plug on one side and TF slot on the other similar to what the Galaxy Tab has, and I'm sure it must exist somewhere so someone point me in the direction.
Something like this?

Something like that... But just a Micro SD reader so it's small as possible.

Not that it's a big deal, but why not just use the internal port?
I know you didn't want an OTG cable but what about an OTC Adapater (non cable version) with an very small micro sd reader? The SD reader below is what I use. I have 2 actually. One is about 2 years old, the other 1 year old. One goes in my car stereos USB port (had a spare 32Gb sd card so it made sense to use it for music) and is very small hanging out the front.

Well just think about it... With a tiny card reader stuck on the bottom you can treble the memory and still hold the phone and use it normally and store stuff like Emulator Roms and HD videos on which you can't really do with wires hanging out the bottom, and I'm running low on my 64gb card so this just gives me the best of all worlds.
And anyway the guy who got me thinking about it to begin with managed to find the place that sells exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi guys,
I´ve read somewhere that you can plug a USB on the HTC One X and it will recognize it as mass storage, hence allowing you to play videos, music, etc from there. I was browsing on ebay and and all I could find was a usb to micro usb cable. I want to know if there is something like a micro usb pen drive that takes micro sd cards, so that I can keep things as small as possible with this solution. I don´t know if I made my self clear
32GB Micro SD card goes inside the pendrive -> the pendrive goes directly into the HTC ONE Xs´ micro usb input
Update: looking around I´ve found the Technocel UV9BB that can power up the phone (600 mAh), it has a usb and a micro usb. This basically turns the HTC ONE X into a duck taped version of the HTC ONE X PLUS My question is, can the One X read the micro sd and play videos from there using this device?
Here are some links

R: Micro USB Micro SD host?
Yes I do it with my action camera only problem is videos are not always fluid and smooth.they lag a bit
Sent from my wonderful One X ruined by the worst phone producer... h....t.....c.....
I´ve received the Technocel UV9BB but it doesn´t seem to recognize the micro sd card when I plug it into the HTC One X. Do I have to do something to activate it?
I would also like to use this device with the DSLR Controller app on the HOX. Their website says the HOX is compatible with this app (http://dslrcontroller.com/devices.php).
Any thoughts?
Has anyone with the Tab S4 tried to use an external USB card reader? I'm thinking of using the tablet to back up photos from my DSLR (internal SD Card capacity permitting). I have a USB C card reader but have never been able to get it working on my Pixel 2 XL
I just tried and it worked for me with a thumb drive formatted exFAT and a USB C OTG cable. Should work with a USB C card reader or a standard USB card reader with an OTG cable.

Did you try going into settings, dev options, and change the usb connection type? Anytime I've had difficulty connecting something with the OTG, one of the settings always seems to get it to work.
