I have a roadcam in my car that records onto an sd card and I was wondering if there is a way to take out the sd card and connect it to my note 2 maybe using the usb plug so that I could backup the video recordings using an app called dropspace to my dropbox. Thanks.

If I understand your question correctly what you're wanting to do is pull the files off the Sd card and upload them with your phone.
If thats what you want to do you could just get a USB OTG cable and a SD card reader that is made to be plugged in to a USB port. That should be all you need to get this working. You can get both of those from Amazon, just dont go with an uber cheap OTG cable. There have been reports, on Amazon and XDA, about some of the cheap OTG cables hard bricking/burning up. Last I checked they didnt know exactly what it did, they said that the devide reacted like the battery had been pulled and the phone, or Nexus 7 and a bunch of other tablets, went off and no matter what they were unable to get it to come back on. The OTG cable I have was about $10 and it works perfectly, theres no reason to pay the exorbitant fee Samsung wants for their official cables seeing how the only difference would be the name on the cable.

Damn, what kind of cable did get because I ordered one of the .80 cent ones and now I'm afraid to use it. Maybe I'll use it on one of my old phones to test it.

I got an otg cable for $1 and it works perfect. I've hooked up a computer mouse and a 360 controller so far but I haven't tried an SD reader yet.

Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I believe so. Someone posted that a monoprice one worked on his GSII. I know that is a different phone but it is likely that HTC hasn't blocked generic ones if samsung didn't.

The monoprice adapter works for my Rezound.
Thx for the help, just order a 10$ mhl adapter. After this bad boy set me back 600$ i'm trying to squeeze all the accessories I can outta this weeks paycheck.
I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it.
The thunderbolt/EVO 3D htc mhl adapter works.
How can I control my phone with out touching it?
(Watching netflix and don't want to get up every time)

The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.
to further add to the question, if you're going through the MHL->HDMI to your telie, will it also keep your phone charged?
Yes you plug the adapter to the phone and the wall

Yeah its a lot going on for our phone to display on a TV. My wife's Bionic has hdmi out, that is so easy! Just bought a hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice for 3 bucks for my wife's phone. The Rezound looks like a octopus just to display to the TV!
Where u guys getting the monoprice MHL? Amazon? I haven't connected any phone to my tv since my original EVO days. Would love to do it with this one. Thanks fellas

No, the video parts of the NFL app will not work. I have tried it and when you try to access video content, the screen you are connected to view blank.
Thats weird. I thought u can view anything that's on your phone... Even the home screen!? Is there anything else that doesn't work through the mhl?

I recieved mine from Monoprice, works great. But it HAS to be connected to power (charger or USB both work) to function, not just if you want the phone to charge while using the adapter.
What I did was use a short HDMI cable, short micro USB cable plugged into one of my TVs USB ports for power, and then mounted the adapter to the back of my TV with velco. I then use a micro usb extension cable to connect the adapter to my phone, cutting down a TON on the octopus effect. And I can always disconnect the adapter to take it with me somewhere.
Is this the adapter everyone is buying, its $14 not $10 so want to make sure I'm not missing anothr one on their site. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2

Is this feature enabled on all US s3s?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Not sure about US variants, but in case anyone else is wondering: it works flawlessly on the Rogers ones (tested on both blue 32gb and white 16gb). It should be the same on the others too I think, since they're similar enough.

Yeah, USB OTG is working fine here on my ATT S3. Tested it a few days ago with a $1 cheapo usbotg cable from ebay + 32GB usb3 flash drive.
Works on T-Mobile
Works fine on a sprint 16GB. First plugged in wireless mouse, keyboard, 640GB hard drive, ps3 controller (use with sixaxis controller over Bluetooth now) all working. Plugged in an epson printer and it notified me that I plugged a printer in.. but then proceeded to tell me that the only printer supported is a samsung printer. We need a workaround for this

No we don't. In the rare event that you want to print from your phone, check out the "cloud print" app - works with any network shared printer.

Likely power, try with a hub maybe? My spinning disk usb hard drive doesn't work either, but makes a clicking sound. I recon there is a limit to the current the phone can supply.

Yea I've tried with the hub but still none of my files show up in the "My Files" app or a 3rd party file explorer. Shows a mass storage device is connected in notification bar and the HDD LED light is even on.

Try navigating to /mnt/ folder in the file explorer. That is where usb drivers will show.

If you get the dongle with the card reader slots you can do 1 thing: read memory cards. If you get the USB port version you can: use a memory card reader, plug in an external hard drive or flash drive, plug in a keyboard, mouse or joystick just to name a few things. If all you really will be doing is reading memory cards then the reader version is better since you won't need 2 devices (USB dongle + USB memory card reader) but if you ever plan on anything else the USB port version is way more versatile.

It depends what the external sd is and how big it is in memory size, some work and some don't.
I have a 1 tb external and it doesn't register on my phone not even if I repartition it.

i suppose i could go through the process of using OTG Cable with my Nexus 7 and then onto my phone but it's too much hard work to be honest, all i wanna do is to get music onto my phone from the external HD, this isn't good, ill have to reconsider my options unless anyone knows a better way?

Okay what I did was have my hub connected to the mains which is also connected to my otg cable of my note 10.1
Installed the paragon app that reads ntfc data on a hard drive (some are fat32 so don't need this app)
Then connected my external 1tb hard drive which is connected to the mains to the hub and all my files showed up on my note 10.1
Hope that's easier to understand
Oops sorry exactly the same process with a galaxy s3, get confused between forums
