Anyone have or found a USB-C hub yet that will work with the 2 xl to hook up external HD/thumb drive/microSD/SD cards? Preferably with power input so you can use a powered 3.0 HD like a passport.
When traveling I like to be able to backup my photos from my main cameras (sony Nex 6 and Gopro) to a hard drive or drives, and right now I am using a travel router. It's ok, but the transfer is slow, its a little glitchy, and a little bulky, and I would like to streamline the process and the equipment. I've tried using hubs and cables in the past with my Nexus 7 2013, but it also was not very good and the transfer speeds were awful as I had to go from SD card to tablet, tablet to hard drive. Hoping to go straight SD card to hard drive this time, and at 3.0 speeds if possible.

Following up - something like this (basically a MacBook hub). Anyone have experience with one of these working and any idea what file system formats are supported?

I'm looking for one to transfer my dslr pics to the pixel but the one I have keeps telling me that is unsupported
Comments in this one say someone used it with their camera... no experience myself tho.

Same boat. I would like to use it as a hub/transfer point for my external drive, camera(s), and SD cards and then to maybe let it upload the days shots to my server at home while sleeping (if I have decent wifi).
There are obviously some more options for this coming out with hard drives that handle this specific task, but still not ideal IMO.

I purchase it, let's see if it works. I did a combination of the OTG and a 3.0 usb card reader and I needed to purchase an otg enabler in the play store. That works but is kinda slow reading. Let's see how this new one works

Got this hub, and did NOT worked... Dammit google, this is a must for me... Works with the s8, Moto z2 and even Huawei 6x....
The only way that I can achieve what I want is to use the stock google otg with a 3.0 sdcard reader and the app plugin for solid explorer

Thats a bummer. Using the otg adapter in the box I can see a USB thumb drive no problem, but so far plugging my other USB hubs into that adapter give nothing. Ideally I need a USB 3.0 and SDcard on a hub so I can transfer straight from camera cards to the thumbdrive/external drive. going from the camera to the phone, then phone to the drive is tedious at best.

Hi I was wondering if a micro usb to usb adapter such as this one would work with our LG Nitro HD. I'm currently using CM9 nightlies as my rom.
Don't see why it wouldn't but what's the purpose?

Almost all of my medical textbooks are pdfs, so being able to copy from a friends pen drive a pdf to my phone so I can later copy it to my laptop at home is a major plus for me . I went ahead and purchased it anyways, so I'll report back if it works or not
So I finally got my usb-otg adapter. I plugged it in and tried a numerous amount off usb apps with no success. I wasn't able to use stickmount since the play store told me that it isn't compatible with my device. I haven't tried sideloading stickmount though. I'm running CM9 stable, not sure if it works with the stock roms or with JB.
I've never seen any indication that the Nitro HD supports USB-OTG. It's not listed in the spec sheets I've checked at least.

My hdmi adapter works fine in CM9, so I don't think you should have any problems if you switch to CM9.

I've looked pretty carefully, I think this is a new question/topic. Sorry if I'm wrong. Pre purchase question for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Ed). I want to travel with it and one of my Nikon digital cameras (either D200 or D800) depending on which one will work per your answers. Travelling in Europe by bike so not possible to take a computer as an intermediary for downloading pictures. Does anyone know how I can download pictures from one of these Nikons to the 10.1 (2014) android platform directly without going through a computer. There must be a way but the photog (for professionals no less), nor the Samsung live call or chat seem to have an answer. Fingers crossed maybe it's just a cable or app I need? Thanks

From googling I see that the camera has mass storage as a usb option. You can get a USB OTG cable and connect to the Note 10.1 2014, then connect the camera to that like you would connect the camera to a computer and it will show up on the Note as a jump drive. With es file explorer you should be able to access your photos.
Here is an old tutorial, but you probably wouldn't need the thumbnailer app, es file explorer should allow you to browse the contents of the camera just fine.

:fingers-crossed: Your tutorial is very straight forward and clear, as well as your answer. I just found a store that has a 14 day return policy so I have a little time to experiment. This stuff never seems to have one definitive exact answer and I'm so not a techie ...amazing what I'm learning! and I did hit the 'thanks' button
Look at DLSR Dashboard and TPLINK, I forgot which model
This is a wireless solution.
You can control the D800 from your 10.1 as well as have the files go directly to the 10.1
I am saving up for a D800e at present.

I don't understand your problem! You wish to use your tablet to arquive your photos? Since we have a little space storage on our tablets (mine 16GB) the best way to do it is to use microSD cards with SD adaptors you can use it on your camera.*Have plenty their cheap.
Wife has a Nikon she uses the micro SD to SD adapter to transfers over pictures. Some micro SD come with the adapter already
Solution for downoading Nikon D200/800 images to super portable device
Thanks to all of you for your input. I thought I'd report back in case there are any other not-so-techie artists out there looking for a simple solution. While I am not a pro photographer, the camera is one very important tool in my art making practice. I have two high end Nikon DSLR cameras and wanted the ability to download images when the memory cards get full. I did probably 60-80 hours research. What I really wanted at the beginning was a tablet. In the end I purchased a Surface Pro 2 which runs on a windows platform. It's pretty pricey and I'm sure the regular Surface tablet would also work for temporarily storing photos when the memory card is full. I also write, so the ability of loading full programs onto the Pro2 (Word and PP for artists' talk presentations) and becoming super portable at low weight and size was too much to resist. I tested the Surface Pro 2 last evening and it is amazing as a tablet/laptop hybrid kind of thing (although learning curve is still ahead). BUT it does work brilliantly with both cameras. The added bonus...I can load Photoshop onto it too. For the cameras: no intermediary tools required (OTG cables or conversion cards) as would be the case with an Apple product or an Android platform....straight in. Hope this helps other creative types. I cannot be the only one who needs these abilities from a tablet.
FWIW, I'm still stuck with a D300, which uses CF rather than SD cards. I simply hooked a plain old USB card reader up to my 10.1 with an OTG cable et voila! Copy photos off the card, onto the tab and backup onto Dropbox. Piece of cake.
Now, if only I had the D800.

This works. Hook it up to your Nixon, turn wifi on your phone or tablet, and download the nikon app from the market. I use it all the time with my Note 3.

Well I am extremely happy right now.
It turns out that with an OTG cable, my 4.4.2 RAZR M can suddenly output audio via USB to my Fiio E17 amplifier. I can finally ditch the 2G iPod touch I have been clinging to for years.
Awesome. Will test with a Droid 3 dock as well

I am just starting to explore the possibilities of using my M for high quality audio. Does the above work without root, custom rom, etc.? I am not rooted and am bootloader locked and need to remain that way.
Are there any decent guides available on the net on this topic? I have been doing a lot of googling and trying to piece things together but haven't found a good consolidated source for information.
Thanks much.

Worked before I even rooted, all stock. Just used and OTG cable and connected it to my DAC/AMP.
Is there a USB sound standard I should be looking for to find devices that work? Or does it work with any USB sound device?

It's called 'class compliant' USB audio device.
If it works on Windows, Macintosh etc. without the need to install a device specific driver, it's probably class compliant.
Btw., the support for OTG connected class compliant USB DACs has been present in CM builds for Razr M/HD family since September 2013.

That is true, but seeing as I need Bluetooth in all its glory and some other things that never seemed to work right in CM11, I am glad to see it in a stock build

:good: Was able to pick up for a whopping $1.04 shipped, a USB audio dongle from eBay which works great, but needs external power.
Now if only I could get PodMode to work, I'd have a perfect 1-plug replacement for an old iPod.
Hey guys
I've just bought this tablet yesterday. According to information I find here and on youtube, and since this is a high end android tablet for now, I was expecting usb otg feature to work easily.
But I've tried 3 different cables and all possible devices (flash drives, mouses, HDDs...) And nothing works. No messages, no lights being turned on on devices...
I'm pretty sure it's possible to enable it by rooting and installing a modified kernel or perhaps some third party apps, But just want to know is this the case for all of you?
Does samsung really forgot to enable this by default? Since all mid range devices have ir already now?
Or am I missing something? Should I look for a different OTG cable, before considering rooting and knox 0x1?
Any help would be appreciated
Edit: oh and btw I forgot to mention:
I havd Tab S 8.4 lte (sm t705)
Edit2: Samsung officially answered my email and told me that THIS TABLET DOES NOT SUPPORT OTG!
I don't know if this is a new limitation or some kind of location based feature or... all I can say is that this is a hardware limitation because rooting and flashing otg enabled rom and kernel, didn't hepled.
Thanks samsung! you pissed me off again!

I am able to load FAT32 formatted USB pen drives on my Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700) with original samsung OTG cable. However NTFS pen drives are not mounted. But if I root my tab, there are few apps that can mount NTFS as well.

Hello all, I currently have a PIXEL 2 XL, but it started getting hot so Verizon is sending me a new PIXEL 2 XL, same color and size. How can I move everything over from my Pixel 2 to the New Pixel 2?.
I want to transfer everything like it is on my current pixel ( pictures, apps contacts, messages, whats app messages)…. Please let me know your thoughts.
Does this work for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27r4ecy8Yjc
I'm looking for something I can back up to my computer for the same reason as you.
When you get the new one it will ask you if you want to transfer everything over using old phone just do that and it will copy everything in external storage partition and download all your apps
But if you are having hest issues you may want to go thru your apps and be a bit selective if you really need the app or not
