Home made Micro USB OTG card reader - One (M7) Accessories

Last night i was looking to see if there is anyone making micro usb card readers or flash drives but I didn't find much. I see some guys making flash drives with micro usb connectors but they are not available yet. I decided to play with a micro sd card reader and a micro usb connector from a old cable and here is what I came up with. I hope will inspire you to do the same because I am sure you have some sd card lying around not used.

Not a bad effort there mate
I'm sure I read somewhere else that one's similar to these would be available to buy.

LOL That's a good one.

I found this one but the bad thing, it will not support cards more than 16GB. To bad it is looking good. I think they will coming with something greater soon.

I remember reading that the evo3d is using a "mhl" port that will charge and be HDMI out at the same time, not the micro USB that the evo has.

[Q] Micro SD self deleting files. What am I doing wrong?

I just bought a 32gb class 4 micro sd card and after formatting it via my desire Z, i keep on running into a really really wierd problem.
I would connect my phone to the computer and set it as disk drive and drag/drop a group of files in it (ie. playlist file or small ringtone files) and as soon as I eject it and unplug the cable from my phone, the files are suddenly gone again.
What am I screwing up and how do I fix this?
Is it possible that my format method is wrong? if so, can someone explain what's the best way to format the card properly.
Why did you even format it in the first place?? Don't fix what's not broken...
What OS are you using on your computer?
I usually format every card i get as a habit. Don't know why, I was just taught to do that and never really thought it would hurt.
I'm using Windows 7
Try format it from your computer to FAT32
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
I've already done that a while back. it actually made the card read only when i put it on my phone.
I think you've got a defected micro sd mate
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using XDA App
you mean defective. And yes, I believe so. I've contacted the seller and he's agreed to do an exchange for me. Hopefully I'll receive a new one that works by next week....

All SD cards, thumb drives, etc. are already formatted, usually FAT32, so you are wasting your time doing exactly what is already done. If you were to format to something besides FAT32, that would make sense.
haha sorry I sent this almost as soon as I woke up, hope you can forgive me ;D

Well, again, it's just a habit, but nothing wrong with it I believe. I waste maybe a few minutes doing a quick format.
But yeah, I'm sending the card back to the seller for an exchange so hopefully it's just bad luck. If not I'll have to spend more money on a better card eventhough this one is a Kingston class 4 which was unsettling....

I use class 4, its fast enough for 720p recording and playback

That sounds about right. I wish I can get a class 6 but then again i dont trust the stuff on ebay and the stuff on other sites really show offbrand stuff that I've rarely heard of..

Buy an external sdcard reader

Every one needs to by an external sdcard and an external reader, every time someone posts about not having a backup or stuck in recovery cause there rom is corrupt and won't boot... if you had an external sdcard and a reader problem solved... just a friendly piece of advice.

Good advice. Which one do you have if you don't mind sharing?

I have 3 a sandisk (for my sandisk SD card) a Kingston(same thing) and a Dynex... I prefer the Dynex cause it has a little slot for micro so there is no need for the 2nd adapter. http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=7Bo1UPPjH4bY2gXgzoG4Dg&ved=0CIQBEPMCMAM

Ya, they definitely come in handy.

[HELP]Dead SD card!ยก

So long story short: my 32gb sandisk micro sd ended up getting split in two partitions so I have two seperate 14gb partitions, one is fat32 and the other is ntfs I believe..
I have used every tool / program / fix that I can find and am now at the point of giving up on this SD card..
Can anyone suggest ANYTHING at all, so far nothing has worked for me..
Oh and its dead in the sense that neither my GT 10.1 nor my s3 will read the sd card.
If you have access to a PC, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard. If you're trying to get information off the card, I recommend MiniTool Power Data Recovery.
Also, you may be able to get the card replaced for free under warranty. Many SD cards have, like, 5 year or lifetime warranty.
I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but it wouldn't allow me to recover both partitions im assuming because one is fat32 and the other is ntfs. Ill try the other tool tomorrow. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!
Hey try this fix, it's worked for me in the past for a corrupted SD card but I never partitioned mine. Good luck!

I bought my Sandisk 32gb card less than a year ago and it pooped out. Ended up throwing it out because I couldn't reformat it. Thought the cause might be my phone heating up.

Pointless response UrbanLagoon... thanks for incressing your post count tho... I beleive with 4.3 as long as you format it properly should work fine, I have used usb otg cable as usb external on a 160gb esata hard drive and a 128gb usb flash drive so I see no reason why it wouldn't. I hope that helps.

I have the 128gb card for more than a month. Formatted it extFat (on a PC) and have had not issues with it.
I do not see any additional time booting,
