I am considering testing this:
1. Take photos on my Canon Powershot S100 compact camera on a microSD-card (using an adapter as camera uses SD Cards...).
2. Try to see if my Z Ultra is able to read those filesand display the pictures when I put the microSD card in the phone...
What do you think...can this work?
(I am aware there are Wifi-enabled SD Cards on the market, but they are no available fast enough...need this to work in 24 hours...).

If you put a micro SD card in an SD adapter, then into the Canon and take images (if the camera can read the card. May take a few insert/eject's). Taking pictures on your Canon, then putting that Micro SD card in the Ultra will be fine.

Of corse it will work. Unless your camera formats the microSD card in some weird format your ZU will read it just fine.
When you'll insert in the ZU the device will scan the card and your pics will show up in the Album app.
The other way around should be fine as well, just be sure that camera and ZU put files on different places (I'm referring to the DCIM folder), otherwise it could create duplicates and/or overwrite files.

You may have issues if you take photos in RAW format but otherwise it should work fine.
An alternative is to get an OTG card reader like this so you can use normal SD cards in your camera and read them on your phone.

The Herald supports micro SDHC. Which, theoretically, maxes out at 32gb.
Does it straight-up support SDHC, or does it require some sort of program or reflash?

I've got a 8GB SDHC card.. Works like a dream. Only music is a bit of a problem! but oh well..
8Gb SDHC, no problems, just plugged right in. On the funny side I had to buy a new cardreader for my PC due to the fact that it supported only 4Gb.
How to read MicroSD card on PC?
I have 2GB MicroSD card that comes with the Wing. I can use ActiveSync to transfer files from my PC to the card without problem, but at a very slow speed. For large movie files around 1GB, I thought I could put the MicroSD in the card reader on the PC and copy the file over faster. However, my Win XP insists that the card is not formated or the format is unknown. Do I need any special driver for my PC to be able to read/write to the Wing MicroSD card? Thanks.
I've found the 8gb sdhc cards but cannot find any 16gb or larger cards. Anyone know where I might be able to find them?
Thanks

Card reader BUILT INTO the PC? I've seen a laptop (a few years old) with a built-in reader that was incompatible with the MicroSD+SD adapter. The $10 25 in 1 reader by Targus that I got at Radio Shack works just fine.

i bought a sandisk 2gb micro sd came with a mini sd adapter. It fits perfectly on my htc wizard/ cingular 8125. IT EVEN CLICKS IN! but once i go to storage under memory it says storage card not installed? WTF is wrong im on WM 5. any help would be apreciated. before you guys start saying stupid crap like its fake, broken or gay.
1. I BOUGHT IT LEGIT FROM BEST BUY
2. ITS NOT BROKEN
3. WORKS WITH MY XPRESS MUSIC NOKIA
4. IT IS NOT SDHC.
5. THERE IS NO LOCK/ UNLOCK TRIGGER IN THE MICRO SD CARD OR THE MINI SD CONVERTER/ ADAPTER
never mind i had to clear storage ended up losing everything
Anyone else notice that transferring files is pretty slow when hooked up through USB to PC? Took about 1 minute to transfer a folder of MP3's that is 133mb in size. It only takes a few seconds on my class to micro sd.
I just tried writing to the same micro sd card while it is in the tablet. It said 27 minutes to transfer a 4.3gb folder. When I removed the micro sd and used the adapter it is saying 5 minutes.
Was your microSD card in the Prime when you said it took only a few second or did you plug it directly in your computer without going through the Prime.
Cause I'm pretty sure internal memory should be at least as fast as a microSD but maybe there s an issu with how the files are transfered in PMP mode.
Also you should check with one big file (like a movie) and multiple small file (music/images files for roughtly the same weigh as the movie) and see if it's really the writing speed or because there is multiple files in queue.
I've had the opposite experience. I transferred over a 250mb movie to the prime that went super fast compared to transferring a comparable sized movie to my phone/sd card.
Writing a file to the micro sd card while it was inside the prime was a lot slower than using the sd adapter and transferring it that way.
Writing 4gb video to micro sd while inside prime = 27mins
Writing 4gb video to micro sd using sd adapter and not inside prime = 5 minutes
This is a class 10 PNY. I get 11 write and 21 read on sd test.
Writing 133mb folder of mp3's to prime internal memory = 1 minute.
Writing same folder to sd card using sd adapter = few seconds.
Whenever I connect the prime to my pc through usb it is very slow transferring files. Could it be Asus sync that is slowing things down?
This doesn't happen when transferring to my galaxy s II through usb
When plug into a computer. The prime appear as a media device. You don't have to mount anything. The storage, both internal and external, are readable by the PC and the Prime at the same time.
I know it behave like that with the original TF and that it is also slower than directly plug in the microSd on the computer.
That being said, I don't remember it taking 27 minutes to copy 4go (and I have a class 4 microsd) so I guess there's a problem somewhere.

Could you also check the speed of copying files from internal memory to microSD in your Transformer? That way you will check if the connection to microSD is slow or not.

I actually had like 4gb of music on my micro sd that I wanted to move to the internal hd. So I plugged the prime into my pc (it shows up as a device and I double click it to see 2 drives. One for internal 32gb and one for the micro sd) and opened both drives. I dragged the music folder from the micro sd(inside the prime) to the prime internal memory and it said 17hours to transfer lol. It was insanely slow. I feel like instead of showing up on Windows 7 as a "portable device" it would be better to just show the drives. Like how the drives show up when you plug your phone in and enable usb file transferring. When I open "portable device - Asus Transformer prime", I can only access one drive at a time. If I open the internal hd folder and transfer a file it won't let me open another window to access the micro sd inside the prime. It gives me a message saying the device is busy.
My current desktop setting is i7 920 oc'ed to 3.8ghz, Asus rampage extreme 2 mono, 6gb corsair dominated, dual ati 5870. So I know it's not my pc that is slow lol. It transfers files really quickly to my galaxy s II. It must be something with my prime that is causing it to write really slowly.
HC uses MTP for internal storage, which is substantially slower than UMS when transferring many small files (music) as versus a few large files (video).

perhaps you need to reformat your microSD card to a format class speed that is compatible with Transformer Prime.
After reading this person's Amazon review on a Sandisk 32GB microSD card that I think it is the same type that I purchased from DailySteals I learned something very useful as it relates to the different performance of these microSD cards.
- What is even more useful was a criticizing comment to his review from a poster named AshenTech listed 4th down who explained how you can save money on these priced /performance cards by simply reformatting them and he referenced an SDformatter.

I've Googled the hell out of this, tried everything that was posted and it didn't work....
My 3 tablets (Xperia Z2, Note 12.2, LG G Pad 8.3) currently all have a 64GB MicroSDX card, but the tablet I have in my bag with me at all times is the Xperia Z2 runing 4.4.4 and it’s rooted. Here's my issue....my Camera has a 64GB SD Card and the Camera has both WiFi and NFC for easy transfer, but when I'm out and I don't want to drain the Camera battery, I want to take the card out and use my OTG-Cable which has a Card Reader built in and plug it into my Tablet USB Port. The SD card is formatted EXFAT, and my tablet will NOT mount it. So, I formatted the card using a 3rd party Partition Manager to Fat32 (yes, you can format a 64GB card to Fat32), yet my tablets (I tried it on all 3 tablets in my house, one running Android 4.4.4, one running 4.4.4, and one running 4.4.2) will still not recognize it. HOWEVER, my phone running 4.4.4 DOES recognize the card when it's attached via the OTG cable. What am I missing here? Ultimately, I'd like to stay with the EXFAT format because it removes the 4GB File Size limitation (especially if I shoot HD Video). Any ideas? Wireless Transfer from Camera to tablet sucks through battery life, I’m trying to avoid that, and I'm not always at home where I can simply plug the card into my Laptop Card Reader. This is especially important since I’m visiting my dad in Europe this summer and don’t want to lug my laptop with me.
Format the card in the Z2, which automatically formats in ex-FAT.
Try some of the different free 3rd party apps that let you mount usb otg devices from the market. I had this issue with a tablet a couple of years ago and the forth one I tried worked when nothing else did. Sorry I can't remember which app, but different devices will work with different apps anyway.

Can't. The card is a SD card, not a Micro SD. I formatted it in my Computer into EXFat and also in my Camera. Both format it to EXFat, unless I use the third-party partitioning tool to format it into Fat32.

I tried 4 different apps, none worked.
Oops, overlooked that you are using an SD Card.
There is nothing that will work universally, to my knowledge.
Very frustrating, I know. But all those wonderful promises of technology are just that: promises, not guarantees.
I think I may have to use the 64GB card that's in my tablet and use it with an adapter in my Camera, and then just put the card into the Tablet to off-load some pictures. Seems like the path of least resistance, and once they're on the tablet and I've edited them, I can upload them to my G+ account, wipe the card and start all over. It's a hassle but it seems like the best way. Short of buying a Surface Pro at least, or taking my Laptop with me-which is not an option.
I present to you the perfect solution. Bow down before me! Or send me money!
Anyone found a compact microSD card reader that will work with an S7? I've got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6ICDGX
But the S7 complains it draws too much power. Specifically it states:
Code:
High-power USB device connected
Cannot access to this device. Connected device needs external power supply.
I can use it with other Android devices without any problems. Specifically a Nexus 7 tablet.
I don't have to use this specific reader, anything would be fine. I'm just after something compact that will also work while the S7 has a case on it. Lots of readers have too much case around them and won't fit into the Neo Spigen case I have on it.
I've used the Samsung micro-to-USB OTG adapter with several garden-variety USB readers and those work with no power warnings. No doubt those consume more power than this.

I use the designed-in SD card reader that is standard with several models of HP Pavilion notebook (the SanDisk microSD card-carrier will also work with the same Pavilion notebook models - the carrier is bundled with Sandisk microSD media typically of 32GTB and larger) I use the same-size microSD cards (SanDisk 32GB) in everything that takes microSD - the two notebooks, my Lenovo tablet, and my newest acquisition - a Samsung Galaxy S7; my GNex does not take microSD cards at all).

No, why would you ask that?
I want a way to read/write microSD cards using the S7 phone. As in, copy files to/from microSD cards. For situations like travel and wanting to upload a file that's on a microSD from a camera, one that may not have a means to connect via USB directly to a device. Seemed like a pretty simple question that wouldn't have anything to do with an "access point".

There is a microSD reader built into the phone - it is all-internal (the nano-SIM carrier is also a microSD carrier; the microSD mounts underneath the nano-SIM). There is an accessory that you can purchase that opens the nano-SIM/microSD carrier - or you can bend a staple to open the drawer.

There is indeed a card reader in the phone. One that will very likely already be occupied by a memory card. One that would be used during the process of transferring media files to/from standalone microSD cards.
That and constant use of the internal microSD slot is probably a bad plan. I'm not thinking they expect it to be used for swapping cards all the time. Seems a lot smarter to use one of the external ones I've already mentioned above. So, yeah, there's that...
NO Disputing that - However...

That is true of ANY device that takes microSD - it's not a unique dilemma. (In addition to my tablet, S7, and two of my three notebooks - both of which are HP Pavilions.) That has to do with the microSD format itself - it's NOT designed to be a "plug-repeatedly" format - the larger 64GB and above sizes that the S5 and later phones and tablets can swallow only make that more and more obvious. That is why I use the cloud - not microSD - to share common files among my hardware - and with cloud services such as Microsoft OneDrive being both OS-neutral and rather capacious - and especially with devices that don't support microSD at all - such as my GNex - they aren't left out. That is the rather amusing aspect about OneDrive - as long as I have Internet access and a compatible OS (which is every OS except a Linux distribution, a UNIX, or a BSD) I can get to my shared files anywhere - on the planet. (Even on a plane with wi-fi-based Internet access - such as Southwest - and I'm not kidding; I have, in fact, done so.) MicroSD is for files too LARGE for the cloud - or that will stored ONLY on a specific device - that is especially true of the 64GB and larger microSD cards, as they are only compatible with specific devices; while I can use such a microSD with the S7, it's size-incompatible with anything else. Otherwise, I use the cloud - and OneDrive in particular - it's compatible with all my hardware.
Right, so beyond going on about a question I didn't ask, your point?
I've traveled to many places where data services are either unavailable at all, or considerably more expensive than here in the US. That and wanting to avoid lugging along larger format media makes using microSD cards pretty convenient. Having an external microSD (or any other media card format) reader opens up another avenue for managing media.
As for online services, look no further than Photobucket's recent extortion fiasco to understand why depending on such service is not necessarily as glorious as you might expect.
Again, I asked about readers that'd work in the USB socket of the S7. And got a whole lot of entirely unrelated information instead of on-point replies. But after doing a lot of my own research elsewhere, and the purchasing of several bits of hardware, I came back and posted the results. Yet this invites still more unrelated replies. Please folks, I'm sure you think you mean well but a bit more on-topic focus would be greatly appreciated.
