Since the dna does not have an sd card slot, would I be able to get a adapter for micro usb to usb and then use a flash drive for more space?
that really is a good idea

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.

Dont think it will plug into the MICRO SD Slot of the Hermes
well....does your hermes have an sd slot? nice find but not for the hermes....at least that model.
they do even have a version called sdg-811
look here : http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
hehe, look at that carefully. it is still only for SD and miniSD, not for microSD. You can put only microSD card inside adapter to have your external memory still inside - for navigation program, but final product is still only miniSD. correct me, if I am wrong...

nope it would look stupid and will probably break off. Think about it. Big SD to small MICRO SD....hmmmmm
I think that sinmae is correct - the product requires a SD or miniSD slot, but to compensate for the loss of the (mini)SD slot, it provides a microSD slot to put a microSD memory card into.
Such a shame, since I just sent my Garnin GPS 20SM back to Garmin yesterday for a RMA - it's not charging the phone properly. It seems silly to have to soft-reset my 8525 to have to get it to charge, when a USB cable connected to my PC works flawlessly every time. Oh well, here's hoping it was just a defective unit. *crosses my fingers*

@JoeVulture: most USB chargers wont work with the TyTn's due to the way HTC set up the mini-USB plug (there's loads of threads on it).
What a heap of crap! I will stick to my Rikaline bluetooth.

I would like to ask, if somebody does know, if Micro SD WIFI exists and where to buy it. Is Micro SD same as Micro SDIO? I am really confused.

Spectec should be coming out with MicroSD WiFi shortly. You can preorder it on the Expansys website.
As for MicroSD and MicroSDIO, read here.

But you could have a long wait.
The Spectec card has been on pre-order for a long time at expansys, and remember that it'll take the place of any memory card that you may have installed. And they're going to be expensive if/when they do appear.
It would be great if they have a wifi card with atleast 2gig also in it
Hoping it will not cost too much!
i dont why they dont just produce one that goes in the usb port then sits all along side of device so as not to stick out, and even replace the battery cover with it for extra strength! or has this been done?

Don't think the Dual (or any/many windows mobile devices) can act as a USB host though. It'd be a huge power draw though, maybe half your battery life?
It cant act as a usb host unfortunately. Its a long shot but i would personally hold off for a couple of months and see how this WIFI project unfolds before investing in something as expensive as these microsd wifi cards will be.
To answer an earlier comment about it being good if they started making micro sd wifi cards with built in memory, its been done before with normal sd cards, only trouble is that HTC devices dont like them!!
Spectec Mini SD WiFi Card, SDW-822
Hello all,
It is possible to buy it,
check this website
http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=125665
or
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=Spectec+Mini+SD+WiFi+Card,+SDW-822&btnG=Zoeken&meta=lr=lang_nl
If you buy and test let me know please
do you know the different about MINI SD and MICRO SD???
Mini SD are bigger than Micro SD, so you can't use Mini SD on the dual.
3s this for real?
what exactly do these micro sd cards do? 3m just curious..
Ok so according to some reviews there is no data port (micro USB or anything) on the tab and ports are only available on the keyboard dock. So what's the beef? How would someone transfer stuff onto this thing without dropping another $150 for the dock. The only way I can think of is through like drop box which would take forever and adb over wifi... o.0
Anyone got any other ideas?

You can connect to the PC through the same connector port you use to charge. It is a proprietary 40 pin USB cable with a detachable AC adapter.
There's no micro USB, but the charger cable is a proprietary connector to a standard USB cable. i.e: plug it into your computer like any other phone or tablet.
ohhhhh ok. I thought that port was strictly for the dock... Thanks for clarifying.

Hey guys,
I did a search but didn't find a relevant thread to the One m7. The lack of SD card slot is a little concerning to me. As long as I can plug it in to my PC and it sees it as a "removable thumb drive" of sorts, I'll be fine without the SD card. Can anyone confirm this functionality? Or is it locked to crap like an iPhone?
Trying to decide between the One and S4. Not an easy decision by any means. I really like the One but I must be able to load custom ROMS and root/unlock bootloader.
Thanks

Almost all if not all Android phones will show up as a drive when you plug them into a computer. The HTC One is no exception. It shows up. It also has USB OTG support so if you get a proper cable you can plug flash drives into it.
Awesome, thanks. I've had my EVO 3D since it came out, and it's been a pretty good phone but I'm due for an upgrade!
So, does the One show an "internal" SD card of sorts, is it a different partition? Just wondering if the process will be the same when booting into recovery to flash ZIPs and what not.
I don't understand how people can cram more than 25GB onto a phone. -_-
Well, I like to be able to use my phone as a removable thumb drive, and I also have Bluetooth in my Jeep and love streaming music from my phone that way. It works great. I have a sizable music collection and also like to keep software installs and other things handy (I work in IT) So the 64GB model is looking pretty good right now if I can still do all these things the same way I did before.

It mounts as a single drive. In windows, it shows up as a Portable Device, HTC One, and it is just a drive. There is a separate partition for the HTC Sync Manager.
The first time I plugged it in, it needed to install the USB drivers. After installed, I had to reconnect it, and it mounted the drive.
Additionally, I did not have to change the USB settings, toggling between USB Drive, or charge, or sync. It just shows up. Somewhat different than what I'm used to on my Inspire, but works much smarter now.

We have very similar goals ... :highfive::highfive:
but want to have an un-secure partition for USB flash drive. I use this as a tablet so I need to have usb flash drive access.
Is there an app for that yet? Aside from doing all the grunt work of shelling into the root / moving directories by hand?
There must be a better way.
Hey guys I just paid for the nexus 6 32gb and also a case. I am the kind of smartphone user that when I mod I want to have my zips/files on an external sd card. Since the nexus 6 doesnt have an external sd card slot. Any recommendations for a usb sd otg adapters?
I think any generic one will work. I was interested in them as well and I found this youtube video reviewing one:
http://youtu.be/dxezcJ4WTf0
I think as long as the phone supports USB OTG they'll all work fine.
You mentioned modding and I assume that means flashing in recovery? I'm not sure if recovery will be able to pick up the USB OTG Card reader though.
