[Q] Transfer Photo's from Camera to Asus?

When I go on holiday I'll take my Asus Transformer with me but was wondering is there any way to transfer any photo's I take on my Canon camera to the Asus? I won't have access to a PC, my camera uses a SD card and of course the Asus is Micro SD, any idea's would be much appreciated.

get a micro sd card with a SD card adapter?

yes I do have a micro SD adaptor but this does not help me, the photo's will be on my Canon camera SD card which will not fit into the Asus micro SD socket, normally with access to a pc it isn't a problem to transfer the photo's, so what I need to do is to get them onto the Micro SD card, this can't be done with the adaptor.

then remove the micro sd card from your TF. put it in the adapter and then magically the photos will be on the micro sd card. and on a simpler note
no. either get another micro sd card with an adapter, and use it on your camera. after you are done just unplug it and put it in your TF :/

Yes, instead of using your SD card in your camera, use the MicroSD with adapter card in the camera. Then all you have to do is remove the MicroSD card and adapter from the camera and then remove the MicroSD from the adapter and then place the MicroSD card into the TF.

Logic!, supremely executed

Or, you can buy the Dock/Keyboard which has an SD reader built in.

lol that too. but i doubt the fella is going to do that

It's more logical to get a Keyboard/dock because it will actually help in the resell value of the TF when you eventually get ready to sell it. People are more apt to get the whole package instead of just a partail one.

true. i mean the main point of the TF is the ability to change into a netbook.
kinda reminds me of the old head masters everytime i dock the TF in the back of my head i yell "HEAD ON!!"

Yes that would work but the drawback would be that I would have to keep swapping between the micro SD card and the SD card when I want to record video as my camera takes HD video at 1080 and I don't think my micro SD card would be fast enough.

get the dock

The dock is your best bet at this point. The price has been lowered enough now that it worth it's weight in gold so-to-speak.

You can also buy the ASUS usb adapter. (which is a flimsy piece of c**p), but you can connect an USB cable to your cam and to the adapter which goes in the power connector of the TF.
If you have a Canon DSLR you can even control the cam with your TF https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontroller
You might have to restart you TF to get it working. But it does work

Get Eye-Fi Pro. In direct mode, it automatically connects to TF and upload all new pictures. I've been using for few months with wife's Canon 300HS and absolutely love it.

Thanks for the idea's, I just have to work out which will suit be best.

Dual internal micro sd card adapter

Hey there folks, I was wondering if there was a special type of internal adapter to exist that would allow me to use 2, 64 GB micro sd cards in my phone. I'm looking for like a male micro sd card input-to-dual female micro sd card output adapter to connect to the female micro sd card input in the inside of my phone. It would use the same concept of the cable that is used to connect a desktop hard drive to the power source, then from the power source to the motherboard to make the drive primary or slave.... I think cuz I cant remember the name of that kind of cable?
Anyways, it would look kind of like this:
__________ _____
\_PHONE_/ __ \M-SD/

Why not just get a wireless hard drive? I have one and it's awesome.

Interesting - what brand do you have?

I have the SanDisk 64 GB Micro SD Card. It's the Class 10, grey and red-colored one. Iv'e never had any issues with my card, I just want to be able to add another 64 GB card without having to lug around a hard drive. There was a guy who had a similar kind of cable adapter setup but it was a male micro sd card input-to-dual female (reguar-sized) sd card output and his S3 was able to recognize his total memory of 128 GB's. How expensive, how big in physical size, and how big in GB size are wireless HDD's these days??

They had something like that before, can't seem to find it, you can try to contact them.
The price isn't cheap nor expensive.

you can also try this place.

The sandisk 128gb sd cards work with the s4, so this might be the easiest solution.

Yes, I realize the 128GB micro SD Card from SanDisk works with the Galaxy devices but I had initially asked the question way before the 128GB mSD came out this year. But still, if such a PCI type of card reader extender exists & it could let your galaxy device read (2) 128GB mSD cards.... WOW!

Ahh ha! I found it... kind of. It's basically this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...rd-Compact-Flash-CF-Card-Type/1889508912.html but has (2) strips coming off if it to tie into a set of dual micro SD TF adapters. This would allow you to input the male side of this adapter into the back of the phone/tablet, while you could potentially input (2) 128GB micro SD cards into each slot of the TF adapter. If I remember correctly, this guy's version years ago was similar to what I'm looking for but his had 2 TF slots each for 2 separate regular-sized SD cards and was able to read up to 128GB's or so with his. Im saying, take the same technology but add 2 TF adapters to input (2) 128GB micro SD cards instead and put the male end of the adapter into the female micro SD card slot into the back of the tablet/phone.

I bought a female USB to male micro USB adapter and I can plug a thumb drive into my phone. It works great for transferring files. Now I just need a splitter to power an external hard drive to see if my phone can read that too.
It also works with a wireless mouse and keyboard USB dongle.
Similar to this:

The only dual micro sd adapter I have ever seen was for the playstation portable. 2 cards into one memory stick adapter. I have used the full sd to micro sd with a 128gb card. Worked fine when formatted to fat 32.
Now that 128gb micro sdxc cards are availble, no need for that Macguyver stuff.
Now if you could find an microsd to otg cable adapter with multiple microsd slots, that would be a winner.

Yeah, now you're talking... with "the micro usb-to-multiple micro SD card slot!" Imagine if there was an OTG cable just like that with support for dual/triple micro SD cards each at 128GB's and that the OTG cable could read it on all Galaxy tablets & the S4 & S5's?! Ohhhh the insanity!! :what:
The iSheep would have heart-attacks!
I shall buy the first OTG triple micro SD card cable you make if you patent it and build it!
:thumbup::beer:

...or just get an OTG cable and format an external portable drive to Fat32 and duct tape it all together 2TB in the palm of your hand!
honestly, and thin film OTG ribbon cable with built in USB hub and multiple SD card slots should work it could be thin enough fold over and to be double sided taped to the exterior of your battery cover without being too obvious. this would add maybe 2-3mm overall in thickness. probably wouldn't be to durable though. maybe integrate it into a TPU cover/case to protect the thin cable...
but then we are starting to get ridiculous.

See, now you're getting somewhere with your "usb hub & multiple SD card slots" idea MadMan. I saw an OTG cable with dual female micro SD slots but it was too thick (like an inch thick) and had a super sticky/tacky tape on the back so one could attach it to the back of your phone or phone case. Just too bulky. Although, the Wifi idea is something to look into as well but I'm usually not in areas that have Wifi, thus the desire for more space without carrying around an external HDD.
I was looking for basically a male Micro SD Extension Cable (like you see below) with a ribbon type connection but has dual female Micro SD slots so it could fit between the back of the phone and front of the battery or back of phone and front of phone case... not for the extension cable to be put on the back side of the phone case.

Bumpins

Interesting

the psp adaptors work good but are very flimsy

Just get a dual interface flash drive, micro usb + usb PC storage. The sandisk ones are pretty cheap and go up to 128gb. Theyre really small too, dont stick out much on the phone. Plus the storage speeds are much faster than micro SD and all your files are on one storage. I use mine for screen recording games with no lag or stutter, whereas writing to the micro SD causes a lot of games to pause so the card can catch up. Easier transfer to PC or sharing with other USB readable devices too. Much more worth it than a dual micro SD port (though it sounds pretty awesome)

Ok, so ya'll can keep this post going but I have officially lost interest due to my S5 having caught fire last week! Due to the damages to the phone, being a very long-standing TMobile customer, and misinformation from a few folks.... I have now received a FREE upgrade to a Galaxy S8! So happy now! Now I'll just swap over my *still working, yet undamaged* 64 GB Micro SD Card but maybe get the 256 GB SanDisk Micro SD Card in the future just for the hell of it... cuz I can! :silly:

Here's a pic that I took with my burner phone of my S5 after it caught fire.

Do These Exist ?!

I've trying to look for these products although I'm not sure if they exist or not.
1) A MicroSD extension cable which simply uses a ribbon cable to extend the port, ideal is you want to use a case which for a phone which has a removable back.
2) An SD card which can essentially hold 2 MicroSD cards within it. A standard SD card adapter usually holds only 1 MicroSD card although I personally their is enough for 2 cards, I was wondering does it exist ?
If these products are out their, I would be grateful if you could provide details on how I can purchase them. I am a UK resident so would shopping be available. Thank You

Why do you need this cable? If your phone has a slot for 1(!) micro sd card you will never be able to mount 2 sd cards as the device can't handle it!!! If you need more space just go for a bigger micro sd card

[Q] OTG USB SD Card Reader

Does anyone have any ideas of a Card Reader that you can plug in your Android phone and Computer later?
I found the Patriot Cosmos but i want one that protects the SD card a little bit more and is smaller. Thank you

I have the Patriot Cosmos. To be honest, it's tough to get much smaller than that unless you want to get rid of the full-size SD card and only want MicroSD.
You can just get a USB OTG adapter cable that goes MicroUSB male to USB A Female (standard USB port) and that should allow you to use most USB card readers that don't require special drivers.

I see in the product write-ups that it reads SDcards and MicroSDcards but have not seen a picture showing a SDcard plugged in Is it possible to post a pic of the cosmos with an SDcard plugged into it?
Thanks

Since you asked nicely.
The three readers I have on hand: (with USB plug upright, ie not seam-up, pins on bottom)
Patriot Cosmos USB 2.0 reader - SD goes in side face down, MicroSD goes in same side face up above the SD
IOgear GFR304SD USB 3.0 reader - SD goes in side face up, MicroSD goes in end face down
Generic USB 2.0 reader - SD goes in side face up
Of course only the Cosmos has the OTG microUSB plug.
The SD card sticks out the same amount on all of them.

Perfect! Thanks. :thumbup: I was looking for a way to transfer my photos from my camera to my phone.

Another plus for the Cosmos - you can plug both MicroUSB and standard USB simultaneously - though I do not believe you can use the card reader in this configuration. I don't recommend it for day to day use, but if you're in a pinch and have no other means to charge your phone, etc...

Good USB OTG for the S6?

Would love to keep all mods/flashables on my 64GB micro SD Card. Any good USB OTGs where I can put in my own SD Card that I already own? Preferably one that plugs into your phone directly, with no wire. Thanks!!

Have you tried the sandisk Bluetooth one? I have it and it works great no need to even plug it in to your phone
