Hi Everybody,
today I tried to attach my Transcend USB Card Reader (TS-RDF8K) to my Z2 via the working USB OTG adapter. I verified the correct function of the OTG cable by connecting a Logitech keyboard and mouse and this worked perfectly. Now I wanted to try reading from the memory cards of my camera which uses Compact Flash cards. Sadly I could not find a mount point in ES File Explorer to access the CF card. Maybe someone can enlighten me how to access the card.
Thanks in advance

Hey!
Again sorry for the possibly Noob question...I searched and didn't find anything.
How do I access my microsd card when it is installed in the GTab and the GTab is connected to my Windows 7 laptop?
This is driving my sort of crazy...there has to be a better way than swapping from the GTab to a card reader!
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know your computer only sees the internal Sdcard. I'm running VEGAn, not sure if it does it that way on other Roms.
I use ES File Explorer or Astro to move files from sdcard to sdcard2.
Get a microSD to SD adapter and physically plug it in...you can also get some "empty" USB sticks that will take a microSD card for the memory...
I just carry one around in my laptop bag and when I need to transfer files (music, video) to the external card, I pop it out of the tablet and into the converter...
How do I transfer playlists to the microSD card from my computer using Winamp?
Yep, unfortunately the only way to access the physical micro SD card is to remove it and use some sort of separate card reader (I'm using my DSLR camera!).
I also read somewhere that you have to shut down the tablet before removing the SD card and replace it before booting up again. Otherwise there may be issues (which I had) with the tablet recognizing the card. Not sure how broadly this issue applies but as rebooting is so quick I just do it to be safe.
Is there a way to mount sdcard2 to sdcard (like Galaxy Tab does?)
I used Multi Mount SD Card Lite (in market) to mount sdcard2 when usb is connected. It worked very well on TNT lite, however I haven't yet used it on Vegan, but I imagine it will work as well.
The app requires root access, and uses a widget to enable/disable mounting. It claims to be able to mount both sdcard and sdcard2 simultaneously, however I have yet to see that work.
Can't post a link, but simply search "Multi Mount SD-Card" in market.
Problem is that the Micro SD card is very hard to get in and out. You almost need a special tool to push down on the edge of the card to activate the spring release. Possibly a plastic stylus from an old PDA could be the "tool" to pop the Micro SD card out. - Craig

That's really a Winamp question, and may depend on your computer.
It's certainly not a g-Tablet question.

agreed. I found this out too the hard way, but works great on vegan! I hit a widget and my sdcard mounts perfectly.
The Multi Mount SD Card Lite works great. Just using the free version and it works exactly how we would want it. Just remember to use the widget instead of the Android USB connection.
Thanks for the heads up on this app!
Hey guys,
i bought a Noosy Smartphone U-Disk and received it today. It's a 4gb USB pendrive with a usb and a micro-usb plug and MicroSD support (it has an adapter under the usb plug). The pendrive itself works fine but i can't enter the microsd i inserted... Has anyone got an idea what i could do to get access?
back it up and format it to fat32 system
I already did it... I even tried it as ext4 :/
Do you mean you can't browse to USB disk if yes than use a file explorer like solid explorer press back button one time and you will see USB

I can browse usbdisk but i can't access the micro sd i inserted into the stick's adapter... i don't know if sxu isn't supporting it... i even changed vold.fstab (the line for ext_card was missing)...
Any thoughts/ideas on the following would be welcome. I have got USB OTG working fine on my HTC flyer using an OTG cable and Y cable for external power with a USB pen drive.
However when I try to use the same set up with a USB SD Card reader, I get the message "USB device not supported - The USB device you have connected is not supported. Please unplug both the USB device and the dongle.
Any thoughts on why this is not supported or any fixes?
The card reader works fine with the same 4gb sd card (from camera) on windows PC.
I have a 2-in-1 USB OTG Card reader. I formatted my 16 GB strontium micro sd card with NTFS. But when I connect the card via USB OTG card reader, phone says "USB card is either blank or format not supported." But it works when formatted as FAT32. Does K900 support NTFS formatted internal storage and external (via OTG) storage. Has anyone tried connecting a portable HDD via USB OTG??
Can't Read NTFS USB...

Try formatting it FAT32, that'll take care of your problem.

i have the same problem...fat32 is working...NTFS is not working...any solution??NTFS is better then FAT32
You can use paragon ntfs&hfs. Get it from playstore. Root access needed. I always use it to access files from my 500Gb external HDD

Thanks for your reply. I have not rooted my phone, but it will be useful for my other phone. ... ... ... (I actually download a lot of torrents and I don't want to keep my PC running. I use "Flud" torrent app to download torrents, developed by a xda member.)
Hey guys I just got a Nexus 9 and a Micro USB SD Card Adapter, and I was wondering what custom ROM gives us the function to combine the internal storage with a SD Card connected via USB OTG?

None. USB otg doesn't contain the right mount points or, anything really to make it adoptable storage like you can with a device which has an SD card slot.
Oh okay when ever I root my tablet would I still be able to move apps to my OTG SD Card? Or does that require adoptable storage?

you're only going to be able to use OTG for Media or file storage or playing movies that you have stored on it. You can't move apps to it or anything like that. OTG is not the same thing as having a built-in SD card slot.
