I wonder if anyone's looked in to this? Could be huge - most of us have a dead simcard slot - I wonder if there's a way to hack in an sdcard reader to the hardware?
What dead MicroSD card slot?
Do you mean the slot that has the serial # info and has nothing to do with ab SD card?

He said dead sim card slot, not dead MicroSD card slot. The OP clearly realises the slot has nothing to do with an SD card. Seems you have misunderstood or not bothered to read it properly but nevertheless im sure the pretty much redundant piece of plastic with the serial info is something that I'm sure a lot of TP users would be prepared to sacrifice if they could mod in a card reader.
If you're going to hack anything then hack the USB port to work as a host and read away!

Yes, I misunderstood... my apologies.
I've wondered if it would be possible to solder in a wire from a +5v somewhere to the USB. (I'm sure someone will quickly point out if this is a "bad" idea...)

you would probably need to create 5v first. the touchpad I think runs off something like 3v. while I seems like a good idea to hack in a card reader,my feeling is not to.worry until you in out of memory. a better idea might be a device stuck to the back containing a extra battery and a card.reader. It would make the tablet thicker but increase battery life and provide plenty of storageas well as providing the power needed for the reader.

This would also be awesome. I think it would take a bit more for this though than an sdcard since the sdcard can operate up to 3.7v.

Well that's not near what the OP was talking about. An SD card that give you build in storage, even on the go, is much more practical than this option.
Still could be useful, but for me it not very practical.

I don't have a problem...
1. I didn't see where he asked about it... my apologies there.
2. Just pointing out the limited usefulness compared to the SD card solution.
I wasn't trying to be a jerk.
Personally I think the best solution would have been if HP would of just included an SD or MicroSD card. It drive me nuts when manufacturers mimic the apple model and give you less option and features as if that will equal success (looking at you Touchpad and GalaxyTab 10.1).
Um... Looks like the subject is just about buried in the amount of crap everyone has been piling on so far.
So back to constructive discussion... What are the advantages of having SD card in your mobile device (be it a phone or a tablet)?
I have a 16GB microSD card in my Nexus One, and I have never taken it out. I almost wish all of the flash was just integrated.
With quality of USB and network file transfer protocols I think SD is just about useless.

Very simple, I can put all my photos, videos, documents, downloads, Maps for my GPS apps on my SD card. It leaves more space on my device for apps and if and when I wipe my device I don't lose any of it. I've had time when I was having an issue with a device and had to wipe everything. Having certain files on my SDcard kept me from loosing anything. with my phone I've stored different ROM on my SDcard so I could test them out and switch between various ROM with ease.
I don't take my SDcard out either, the purpose of the SDcard isn't to move files from you computer to you phone but rather as storage.
But, I'll give you $10 for that useless 16GB microSD card.

Technically a TouchPad without hardware damage is unbrickable, USB is connected to CPU so you could always push a boot image to RAM.
You do bring up a valid issue, but some of the ways you can stop relying on local storage are cloud storage and cloud backups. These Palm accounts that we get with WebOS on the TouchPads do just that.
Which brings us to the next question, can we have an application to access our Palm accounts from Android?

But I like local storage. I rather have my music on my SD card. There are some picture I'd also like to have on my device locally. Same with documents and a variety of other thing. I don't have to have everything on there, but there are something I would like to have. Not to mention that being a WiFi device I can't always have access to cloud storage.
There is room for both in my opinion.
OK, I'm done... back to you regularly scheduled thread.
ive been curious about this since i got mine, but i have a 32gb, so its never really been a project in the front of my mind...imma take a look at the whitesheets and teardowns (cuz i dont wanna open mine if SD isnt possible ) and see if there are even pins for data available, but im pretty sure there isnt, which would also explain why devs are working on getting OTG running
Hi,

Yes it says i9100 but it works for the i777. I just bought from that link and replaced it my I777 with basically the same problem you have. Problem was solved (see "usb won't connect" thread in Q&A).
There's a YouTube video showing how to replace it on the i9100, which I followed and is extremely similar to the i777.

I must add, that you should really evaluate yourself, and decide if you have the skills to do it. It can damage your phone permanently if you don't do it the right way.

at the risk of necromancing.... if anyone should stumble upon this looking for help like I did, through google. When you open your i777 up, the port board in your i777 says i9100, so yes the above listed item would work.

Does this require soldering to install? Are there any instructions available? Thank you.
Edit: I found a video here which I think should help.
Won't charge?
Like rushaan stated that you should think before you go any further, if your battery will not charge it could be more of an issue than a charger. For the last week I have been trying to boot mine and only get one of 2 messages, The Samsung boot image, and I have done all most everything I have read in our forums. The last run, I had been re-installing some apps, after a ROM change,all was going great ,then a message came up Stating that "due to the battery heating up,it was shutting down the charger" so, of course battery was drained and con not get the freakin' phone to do anything but show the "SAMSUNG" boot animation.. NOW, since then I can not get it to boot, esp. into CWM recovery. I am still reading to see what file/image that I maybe able to use while utilizing ODIN. So,with that being said look a bit more in-depth before you think you have the correct solution.
somebody pushed me into a pool with my clothes on a few weeks ago and I had my Samsung gs3 on me
I've tried drying it, took it apart, tried to dry the motherboard separately,... but nothing worked.
I got a new gs3 and the only thing I care about now is to retrive my photos if possible. The water damaged phone won't turn on and it won't connect to a computer. To make sure that the problem is the motherboard not the screen I've switched the motherboards to see if it works or connects to computer but it won't.
Does anybody know how I might be able to retrive my photos?
I think the solution might be to take the phone's internal memory out and maybe install it on a working board and recover photos from there but I dunno if that thought is doable??
Anybody knows of a repair shop that could do that for me?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear about that, things happen though.
Did some research for you and found this: http://digital-photography-school.com/recover-images-from-a-damaged-sd-card
but I am not entirely sure it will work. If anything, you would take the phone back to Samsung to have the data removed
unless you have lost your warranty.
Good luck anyway.
It's probably possible to recover the data from the integrated ssd drive through complex and very specialized tools aswell as lots of work.
This would involve desoldering the chip from the motherboard and hope it's not defective due to your attempts to use the device.

In future, open a dropbox account and install dropbox on your phone.
This way, all your photos will upload automaticly to your dropbox account without any manipulation.
Good luck Bro !
thanks for the search
but unfortunately I wan't using sd card before so the pics are on the phone's memory
I do still have the warranty and I called Samsung but they would just repair it and wipe all the data off the phone they won't recover it for me

Does anyone use Meenova MicroSD Reader on Note 3? How about it? Thanks.
www.meenova.com
I use a 2tb wd hdd via a otg cable. It pulls all the power it needs from the phone. Note I only use this setup to change the movies I have on my sd card in the phone to much risk of unwanted disconnect if using the phone at the same time.

Micro USB 3 is split in to 2 parts. The first is the same as MicrUSB and backwards compatible. Just plug in to that part of the wider port.
Have a Meenova and used it with a Sandisk 64gb. It works.
BUT, I just have 2 issues that I didn't particularly like and made me put it away for now.
1. On my white version, the blue LED light is very distracting late at night. I emailed them asking if it was possible to disable it but they said no. My current solution is to stick stickers on all sides to obstruct the light...lol. It kinda works.
2. I was primarily hoping to use the Meenova to watch a lot of TV shows using the video player. However, if I were in the middle of a video and exited then reopened the video app, it would restart the video from the beginning. I was hoping that if I had kept the meenova plugged in, then it would still retain the video's position. This is probably a problem of the OS rather than the product.
Otherwise it does in fact work, just not for my personal needs.
p.s. my adapter is also a bit wobbly, so be careful when holding yours.

On mine, I used a black Sharpie to "paint" over the entire LED collar. That didn't eliminate the light, but it made it much dimmer and far less distracting.

Yes they are same. As for whether the date matters, who knows. See the above thread linked, but mines 14w12 and I don't have aesthetic issues. I do, however, have heating issues with the camera like everyone else.
