Micro to USB Adaptor is Awesome!

So the day I bought My SGS2 I seen a Video on YouTube about this guy using a Micro USB to Female USB adapter, and all the cool things it could do.
I looked on eBay and from good old China (where everything is made! Probably the sun and God where made there too...) it was only $4.
So I though well I might never use it, but for $4 I'll buy it for the hell of it.

Well it came today! I though hum... I'm going to see if my wireless mouse works and it dose! a little mouse comes on the screen and it works just like a computer
even in games Played some "Dragon Fly" ("Tiny Wings" for Iphone) worked good. I even booted up the old DOS emulator and played Ultima 8!
Going to try some Ultima Underworld but need to charge my battery!
I think I'm going to make some videos of playing some old dos games on YouTube. I'll post a link here when I do.

In for the videos

Looks good, I'm gonna get me one

A bluetooth mouse works great too, no need for adapters.

Yes, you can read a external HD but the phone might not power it, depending on the HD. But if that is the case then you just need a powered usb splitter and your good.

Just to let people know they don't work with NTFS formatted drives. I thought my cable was broke until i reformatted the flashdrive using FAT32 and it was recognized no problem.

I got my USB-OTG cable today, and was quite disappointed. It was annoying to see that NTFS wasn't compatible. Also every external bus powered HD I tried complained about it being a high powered USB device, as did my iPod.
I also tried a USB Optical Mouse, and a cursor popped up on the screen, but it wasn't moving I will try a cheaper one at work tomorrow. USB Pen drives/Flash disks seem to work, as long as it is only Fat32.
- Edit -
Tried a different (Dell) optical mouse at work today and it seems to work fine, also tried my 16gb USB flash disk and that worked great and quite fast, tried some films and documents through it and it was flawless.
A couple of people have mentioned that a 'bigger cable' or 'powered cable' is needed to get bigger USB drives working. What exactly does that mean??

Yet i tried mine las night, its fast respond for flash disk reading but need a bigger cable to read external hdd. But i think it necessary for those who often worked woth flash disk

I went for the straight version (not angled) as it is smaller when not in use. Just perfect and what a price!

USB adapters, Samsung Geniune vs generic

Hey. As my G Tab 10.1 making its way the my home from the USA in these days, I want to buy a USB adatper. I looked at Ebay and I found a lot of generic USB adapters, which cost about 5 $ and the Samsung Genuine adapter at about 20 $. Is there realy a different between a genuine one to a generic one?

Only real difference is build quality, they work just the same.

Thanks. I think I will go for the generic one. Is there a chance it will damage my device?

I suppose any thing unofficial has the potential to do some damage, shorting something out etc... But I think you'll be extremely unlucky if that happened, as I'm sure they sell them to 100s if not 1000s people and not only for one type of tablet.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!

I just got a bunch ordered off eBay and they were only 1 amp. Tablets will not charge on 1A without a hack (galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-enable-usb-charging-on-your-computer-and-all-usb-charging-adapters-on-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/) but I suspect you will ruin your battery that way, Samsung disabled it for a reason I would imagine.

use this cable with any usb charger and it would work

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

I got a real samsung charger for $13 of Amazon 2 weeks ago. Price is up to $15 but I don't have to worry about slow charging or special fixes. I ordered from the HollyCellular guy. Wasn't Prime but got here (shipped from LA to South East) in 2 days.

I'd go bootleg for the usb dongle adapter but not the charger. Read too many complaints about them.

Saw that on amz. It had lousy reviews. The top review said it was flimsy or made the tab feel flimsy.

Hi there guys.
I just got this little USB OTG adaptor and it works like a charm.
I have tested it with my Corsair Voyager 16GB Flash and many others USB Flash Keys and no problem at all...

$30 gets an SD and USB OEM reader. That does not break the bank for most of us. I bought an extra after market power cored, longer than the stock one. Does not charge when hooked up to the PC and yes, I've rooted the USB script to charge when hooked up to the PC. Yet the stock power cored works fine.
Go figure. From now on I'm a OEM purchaser with the exception of brand names like Logitec and others.

Does it charges your tablet if you plug an USB charger ?
Can you connect an USB cable to your PC and use it for file transfer ?

I got one back in December and I have to say, I really like it. At first I was afraid it was not going to work, but once it arrived and I tried it with my sandisk flash drive 8gb and my other 3 flash drives. I was really happy with the outcome and how easy it is to use it.

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.

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

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!

it looks interesting, but i prefer a USB OTG cable because you can mount flash-drives and HDDs (1TB storage)
afterall it will endup in your drawer and you will use it in a vacation or a trip, so 1TB > 64GB

Thanks! I for one would not want to carry a portable hard drive and have things dangling from my phone when I use them, so this is perfect.
Been looking for one of these, there was a kickstarter for something like this that succeeded, the design was even more compact, but they havent gone retail yet ):

Yes, it works with htc one.

I wish it had more storage, but it beats carrying around an OTG cable and flash drive. It looks like a new product since it's not in stock yet and has no reviews. Onite generally has good reviews.

Check www.meenova.com
I think that's what you really want.

That Meenova is exactly what I want. I have a spare microsd 64gb laying around and I really hate the idea of something two inches long sticking out the bottom of a tablet while I'm holding it. Seems like a recipe for disaster.

Features are nice but why did they put that curve at the bottom instead of rounding it off. It just makes the thing look unbalanced and adds extra footprint for no apparent purpose, other than style, which is questionable.

I have had good luck with this type -

You can charge the device or use it as a TF card reader/writer.

Do you have to be rooted to use this?

Yes. You need to install stick mount app which requires root.

Does the end where you insert the microsd card actually double as a regular USB reader? There seems to be a lot of exposed contacts there and I'm wondering what they are for.

That's really convenient.
Please update on how it works out.
I think the meenova is better for someone wanting to extend storage but this device is more useful for people wanting to transfer large files fast between PC and tablet. MTP mode is just slower on many PCs and wireless takes some setup which is ok on your own machine but more of a pain when you want to grab some files from someone else quickly.

Keep us posted on these and let us know how they are. I'm very interested

Some regret is that it is not 16G or more. I hope to keep some movie in it.

Couldn't you just get a USB OTG cable and then use whatever flash drive/card reader/etc you want? The micro usb end of the stick in the OP probably is just that anyways, hard wired to the flash chip.

Sure you could, but products like these are about convenience.
I think I may either go with this
http://dx.com/p/otg-usb-micro-sd-tf-card-reader-w-3-5mm-dustproof-plug-white-silver-215617
or meenova.com
Since they support adding your own card rather than being limited to what they manfucturer includes.

All of these do not work. I purchased the meenova, the i link, and that one other micro SD card reader, and they are junk. Not even worth the $5 I spent on each of them.

Are you sure it isn't something you are doing different? What are you doing to test?
meenova specifically tested on Nexus 7 2013 and I think even made a video.

Wow, what app are you using to access the card?
