Have anyone tried to hook up their One with an external battery with Full Size SD Card reader?
Which one should I buy? Thanks!
That would be pretty cool.
I'm sure that the One supports USB OTG for flash drives, so it should work unless it does something I'm not aware of.

Are there any other devices like this?
-portable microUSB charger
-keychain clip
-microSD card reader
That device is not a real micro SD card reader. It was a editing fail very commonly found on Amazon and other sites. The editor thinks that the USB port is a SD card reader, and it's pretty funny.
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,
I just wanted to check before I buy one, can anyone who has the SD card adapter tell me if it handles SDHC cards OK as I'm looking at getting a 32gb to store music and films on.
thanks.
Well I have the usb adapter and can plug in a card reader and I use a cool little memory stick pro which has two micro sd slots in it, basically I have two 16gb micro sd plugged into a memory stick pro which turns them into one 32gb card . I bought it for my psp but through a card reader works fine with my tab
I have the Samsung USB and SD-Card adapter and it can handle my 16Gb SDHC card from my cam with no problems.

same here, no problem
Thanks for all the replies, I've put in the order.
does this exist? for any phone?
an external battery you attach to your phone's micro USB and a microSD card reader (like one would do with a usb on-the-go cable and card reader)

I think he means an external battery with an SD card slot. Since the N5 doesn't have a removable battery, an external battery would have to plug in to the microusb port (there are some that I think replace the back, but I'm not sure how well they work) which means he can't insert the meenova reader.
to OP: I have not come across something like this. I suppose it's an interesting idea. Not sure how would do this without making the phone too bulky.
Or a microUSB microSD OTG device that allows pass thought for microUSB power would be very handy

With most manufacturers removing micro SD card slot from their flagship phones, Oneplus included, has anyone been able to expand storage through USB OTG? I'm currently on a different older phone, which has micro SD card slot, and I recently expanded my storage by replacing 256GB card with 1TB one.
While my OP9Pro is on the way, I'm thinking of purchasing a small USB-C micro SD card OTG adapter (something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09L4NDV4T), unsolder the USB-C plug and insert a short ribbon cable between it and PCB. Then plug it into USB-C on the phone, and tuck the PCB with micro SD card inserted somewhere between the phone back cover and a case.
This obviously will require some case modding/dremeling to avoid bulges, but my biggest concern is whether or not I'm able to solder the microscopic leads on the USB-C connector and whether this whole setup will work anywhere close to internal micro SD card on older phones.
Am I dreaming or has anyone attempted this before?
Interesting idea, I'm curious how it works if you try it. Although I can't imagine needing that much internal storage all the time. I just have a dedicated 1TB USB-C flash drive that I copy stuff to that doesn't need to stay on my phone all the time.

I didn't mean that I need all 1TB right now. I went from 256GB -> 1TB and currently have over 550GB free space left. However, I do backups (apps, using SwiftBackup, and TWRP backups). App backups must be on the phone all the time, since it's automatic and syncs to OneDrive; TWRP don't have to, but I like to carry them around just in case.. I also save all camera photos/videos to SD card. So it all adds up, and 256GB on the phone that I'm getting will feel tight.
I'll try this idea and update this thread if it's at least somewhat successful.
Would it not be easier to get a lil usb c extension cable and somehow modify the phone case than the actual phone itself?
The storage expansion card for Xbox Series X/ S delivers an additional 1TB of external memory while maintaining the same peak speed and performance of the console's internal SSD for a streamlined gaming experience.
Unfortunately, guys, using USB OTG is not an option. I recently tried to use the above-mentioned USB-C adapter without worrying about it sticking out too much, just for the proof of concept, and found that the card gets too hot, i.e. it's using a lot of power. This will kill the battery very quickly.
So this makes the idea a non-starter.
