[Q] anyone actually installed an micro sdxc card on EVO?

I've searched for this but no real confirmation:
Would my EVO 4G support a micro SDXC 64GB card? Anyone actually done this?
OR, is there any way to get my EVO above 32 GB of internal memory? Just want to fit all my music...

pretty sure the max for android is 32gb...try it and find out. should be 32 though

Yeah I don't think the evo will handle a SD card larger than 32gb...

Does this even exist yet? I didn't think microSDXC was on the market yet. I've seen SDXC cards, but haven't seen micro.
That said, I really do wish that some of the newer phone coming out would have support for this (since it's backwards compatible with microSDHC cards), just for future-proofing. Then again, maybe cost effective microSDXC cards are still far enough away that it doesn't really matter.

I can not find any 64gb micro SDXC cards available in the world, I'm googling and turning up nothing.
They better hurry, because Apple is about to have 64gb phones and customers expectations will be to match them.

Any updates? I know the 64GB micro SDXC works in the Galaxy S2 phones if you format the card as FAT32. Anyone brave enough to try the same in the Evo 4G?

I'm pretty sure it will work - mine works in my SGSI, SGSII, Sensation, and Transformer.

This is not true. Not everybody wants the same thing. Apple is **** anyway, so who cares what they are coming out with.

We concur with Evo4eva's statement of fact about Apple...it's unanimous!

SanDisk is selling them directly. Expensive, but price will drop soon.

Neither does anything else, but it works.
You need to reformat the card as fat32. This will limit the max size of a file to no more than 4gb.

if you want to be precise, no phone on the market supports microsd (all variation) above 32GB, but thats on paper, sometimes the unexpected do happen in real life, and manufacturer dont like to release these info out.

Angled Micro USB OTG Adapter for $6.95
Personally, I much prefer angled OTG Adapters like this:

}
I first got a normal one that looked like what you linked to, but I ended up replacing it with that angled adapter after getting tired of the straight one getting in the way or jabbing me. If anyone's interested, the eBay listing I bought it from is still online. It ships from the US and I received mine two days after I ordered it. I originally paid $8.95, but it looks like the price has gone down to $6.95 now. It's still more expensive than a straight adapter or something from China, but I think the angled adapter is definitely worth it!

Thanks for the link milkman.

No problem. I figured I'd point the angled adapters out as long as someone's putting up another thread about OTG cables. I certainly wish I had known of them before I ordered my first regular adapter, so I thought other people probably would too. I linked to that cable a while ago on this forum, but I think the old thread is buried by now. Enjoy!

so what do you connect to the xoom to use this?

ahhh I see
I just looked, they got some decent deals for 32 gig flash drives, that can be a good deal.
I guess it can also accept those small external HDs
can you play videos right from the flash drive or gotta transfer them?

Play from the flash drive.

I ordered a an angled USB OTG cable from newegg.com. It was only $4 and free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0PG06U1118 Later, I found the same one on amazon for $2.25 and free shipping http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-OTG...7KYU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1323545145&sr=8-7 (same seller and everything...)

Thanks for the tip, just ordered two of these from Amazon.

Miniature MicroSD Reader (Kickstarter project)

Hey guys,
For those of us running custom ROMs that enable USB-OTG, I just saw a really cool kickstarter project yesterday (and am already a backer) for a miniature microsd reader that you can just plug into your phone/tablet. I'm not in any way related to this project, I just really, really want to see it get funded. Here's an excerpt from the project page http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta
Hello world! You like your Nexus tablet but you hate the fact that it doesn't have a built-in SD card reader for storage expansion? My brother and I felt that way when we first got one in July 2012. So we decided to do something about it -- make one for it. After many months of hard work, finally we have something that we feel good about and we want to share with the world.
What does it do?
Well, it is just like a SD card reader that you use on your computer, except it is for Android tablets and smartphones that have MicroUSB port. You can use it to read/write MicroSD cards, copy files between your phone/tablet and a MicroSD card.
It supports MicroSDHC cards up to 32GB (max capacity by SDHC standard), and MicroSDXC cards up to 64GB (max capacity available on the market). SDXC standard supports cards up to 2TB -- this reader should support future MicroSDXC cards of higher capacity up to that, but we have no way of testing it right now.

The best part is the price: It's only $12, with international shipping included! With this nifty little thing, I don't have to care whether there's a built in MicroSD slot anymore!

This Is Cool
Really cool

Sweet idea, but I'd much prefer an idea like this, but built in to a case - so you can still have it plugged in while it's in your pocket.

Excellent been waiting for something like this.

awesome

Looks great and since I have a HoX and I plan on buying a nexus this will come in handy.

Wow, that project got super funded, super quickly.

Would our phone recognize this music I would put on there and play it without having to use a file manager and select them individually?

woah this is awesome. Just pledged on it. Can't wait till it come's out. This will make my nexus 7 and htc one x happy

No actually, those were two separate announcements. They were confirming that it worked on the One, but because they hit their stretch goal, everyone who pledges will get the usb-to-microusb adapter. Epic!

If you go to AliExpress, someone is selling otg microsd reader for 5.40.

Anyone know if a USB OTG keyring/keychain exists?

I would love to have an OTG adapter I could keep with me all the time, particularly for storing multirom roms on as I already have a flash drive attached to my keys.
I've had a search but I'm unable to find anything suitable.

That second one from aliexpress looks pretty cool and portable, but I'm not so sure about buying through there.

meenova is the best one probably, also comes with a few extra things

So you want OTG card reader not a regular adapter?
There's plenty of those as a keychain. Thought you were looking for adapter to plug your USB stick to the phone.

Received this today, shipping didn't take too long to the UK. The seller included a free micro SD USB adapter with it. The OTG adapter itself works fine, the lid feels like it might break off eventually though. The micro USB part is longer than usual which allows the adapter to fit over my Spigen Slim Armor case.

The PK'2 Paris USB is a perfect solution. Its micro SD card and a 16GB thumbdrive with a USB and Micro USB connection.

Although it is on the expensive side. It is really convinient to have all of those things available on one small USB keychain.

Meenova is awesome!
I've got to say that I love the Meenova. It has been handy for numerious devices and it is a quality product!

i got that SAME one lol, sitting on my desk but too lazy to open and test it, course the meenova is the best for its small size

Are you using stick mount? Or a ROM that supports native otg? How is your micro SD card formatted?
