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.

Thanks

mine has no trouble reading my usb memory stick maybe something bigger needs its own external power supply
I'll give that a try, maybe i'm just being greedy and wanting too much storage!

Tried it with a double ended usb cable with one end plugged into a usb mains adapter. Worked perfectly!

From my experience so far:
A) Does need external power supply
B) Mac formatted drives don't stay connected
This may be a non starter but is there a way to connect an sd card reader to my flyer so I can get photo's from my camera to email out?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using XDA Premium HD app
Don't know the answer but the term for that functionality is abbreviated OTG. Hopefully a quick search will tell if the flyer supports it or not. I know any device that started/shipped with honeycomb does but I don't know if an upgrade enables it or not. I'd assume its a slightly different bit of USB hardware in the device but I could be wrong. I have an Archos tablet with OTG via micro USB and its not completely useful since it only delivers about 75ma of power. You have to use a powered hub for practically everything, even most card readers although there are a few the tablet will operate.

You could get a micro SD to sd converter
They sell them on dealextreme. I got one to use fullsize sd cards on my eeepads micro SD slot

Ok
Tried an otg cable to my card reader, didn't work.
Tried an otg cable to a Photochute otg hard drive, didn't work.
Tried my stock flyer USB cable to the Photochute it stated to charge the flyer so it is getting power but didn't recognise the drive.
We don't have Dealextreme in the UK so I will have a rethink.

And the problem with using my dropbox account is getting the photos off the camera when I'm not near a PC, hence why I wanted to use the flyer.

I use an eye-fi card to transmit my photos to the flyer. Works great. Of course, your camera needs to support the eye-fi card.

The flyer doesn't send power when using the otg cable. you have to power it yourself using one of those y usb cables and a power source. Which kinda defeats the purpose.
Anyone know of a SD card reader for the transformer prime? I found one on Amazon but it was for tf101. Will this work or can anyone point me to one. Thanks

He's referring to the keyboard dock, it has an SD card slot built into it.

The SD card reader for the TF101 works great on the Prime.
Yeap the Asus dock is a wonderful card reader, also did you know that the Prime has a built in slot for a micro SD card already? I'm not sure what they're trying to do, but if a micro would work it will be an easy solution.
The transformer prime dock would be a rather big present for someone else, but if it's that kind of someone else, it will change their life. It's a full keyboard with a touchpad mouse, has full size SD card slot and USB slot which allows you to use external drives. It doubles as a case also kind of, it makes the prime fold up like a netbook.
I shoot a Canon DSLR camera that uses an SD card. While I'm out shooting I can take the card out of the camera and view the pics fullsize on the screen and also copy the files from the SD card to my external hard drive which is connected via USB.

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.

sh^t im planning on getting a 1TB external HD this one in fact
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Sli...UTF8&colid=12HPR9PFUES4B&coliid=IYZBBEJ1LZLS4
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?

Ah figured out how to use my hdd by installing an app called paragon ntfs then plugging my wired hub into my otg cable then plugging my wired extended hdd into that.
It's a very annoying process just to plug a hard drive in but it worked :thumbup:

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

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.
