I know this is really 100% totally irrelevant, but its super important to me. Does anybody know how to get a micro-SD to work? I put it in the adapter and the adapter into a universal memory bank but Windows 7 can't seem to read it. All I need is to put files on it. Plz help me if u can.

Again, the most likely problem is that you have a microSDHC card (4GB+) but that you have an older SD card reader which isn't compatible with the higher-capacity SDHC cards. If that is the case, then you'll have to get a different reader, or just connect via your phone as mentioned above.
Apparently some older SD card readers can't even read cards above 1GB, incidentally.
I just got an Epic 4G and while the 16GB microsd card is plenty of space for most stuff, once I start putting alot of converted movies on there, it will disappear fast. Now, I had another 16GB microsd card, along with a class 6 8GB card and a 4GB card, all micro-sd. Is there any way at all to plug something into the micro-usb port on the top of the Epic and have a micro-sd reader at the other end and then have the phone be able to mount the extra/2nd micro-sd card so I can then play movies/etc from there rather than having to constantly pull off the back cover and swap cards?

Also I have two 32 gb cards on me. One for movies and music. The other for everything else

I've got a 10" SuperPad running 2.2. (Flytouch2) It has 2 regular usb ports and will read thumb drives just fine. (Ud0 and ud1)
Leads me to believe it would be kernal based. If you has a female usb to microusb male and a usb micro reader, as long as the kernal had support I don't see why it couldn't be done.. but the devs would need to confirm or deny.

Had some problems trying SD cards and MicroSD cards for the Infinity/Prime docks/tablet. Thought I would share them so others could also update and post their compatibility issues.
PNY 16GB (MicroSD) / 32GB (SD) Pro-Elite: Status: Incompatible: Formated with Fat32/NTFS and exFAT. All three had no problems reading from the card however writing any files completely locked the tablet up at the 90MB mark causing it to force reboot. Tried 2 cards purchased from Best Buy (16GB and 32GB) on both my Prime and Infinity tablets/docks both had these issues. Card is rated for 35MB write however I found no circumstance using my PC to copy files to where I got over 10-11MB/sec. Read sat at around 21MB/sec.
Sandisk Ultra 32GB (MicroSD, (Docked with MicroSD Adapter)): Status: Compatible: Formated with Fat32/NTFS and exFAT. All three work great reading and writing on the tablet. Writes were a steady 22MB+, Reads just as good. I assume once the I/O bottleneck is fixed this will improve, as it sits on the PC I get around 30-40MB write, 55+MB read (burst). Writing a 3GB file ~ 15-20MB wite.
I should mention I was using a USB 3.0 card reader to read/write when testing on the PC.
Please update this thread with your cards you have tried so others like me will not have to return to BestBuy 3 times to finally get a compatible card.
Thanks!
Might the incompatibility be caused by card class?

It is possible however I have not tried any other cards from any other brands.
The PNY is listed as: SDHC Class 10, UHS-1
The SanDisk is listed as: SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 so they seem to be exactly the same class.

I also bought Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro sd to be used on my phone Xperia Mini, i find my phone to be very slow, does this means that my phone is incompatible with this card.

I do not know how you formatted it, and which filesystem(s) your phone supports. I'd set out my question in the Experia forum(s).
I bought a 64GB Samsung microSDXC UHS-I card pro class 10
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-micro-UHS-1-Class-Galaxy/dp/B00AK31M3G
And it works great, havent had a problem with it, I tested it through a sd card slot with sd card adapter and I got a constant 16-17 mb/s write speed with files bigger than 5 gb. I also tried formatting in exFAT and NTFS, and both work.
I hope this clears up some doubts about UHS-I cards. Or at least doubts about this card.
I also bought the SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card includes an SD adapter and use that on my TF700 without any issues at all.
I have connected it both directly in the SD slot and also via the adaptor via the OTG dongle into the USB slot as a 2nd memory card.
Both have worked reall well, so am surprised the card is not working for some.

I just got my SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 from amazon today, worked out of the package and then reformated to exFAT and worked also. Haven't do much else with it but so far so good.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...8&qid=1365569881&sr=8-1&keywords=microsd+64gb
For an SD card I picked up a Polaroid 64GB SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 for $32 a couple weeks ago (was going to get a SanDisk as well but for $20 off figured I'd give it a shot and it had some nice write/read speeds), worked out of the box on my dock and did the formats. Rght now I've got it filled up with 60gb of movies for an upcoming trip and everything seems to be working fine as well.

Did you try that Polaroid card in the dock only or does it both work in the dock and the tablet. I might just buy 2 of these and be done with it.

Sorry, the Polaroid is an SD only. I picked up the SanDisk for the microSD. I didn't find a Polaroid option with 64gb for the micro.

I am currently using 64G Samsung in my TF700t. It works perfectly fine with the original format extFAT. I reformated it with FAT32 and Ext4 for Data2SD. I don't have any problem so far.

I got the Samsung UHS-1 from Amazon as well, tested it and I am very happy with this investment of $65. Now when I do a TWRP backup, it finishes in 212 seconds for 1850 MB, averaging 8.7MB per second. When I copy files over from a PC, using the Silicon Power USB 3.0 card reader which is UHS-1 compatible, I constant have a write speed of 14.5 MB/s and the Read speed is over 27 MB/s.
They advertise to have a read speed of 70 and write speed of 20 though.
Your pc probably just cant go any faster .
I'm using two 64gb SanDisk SDXC class 10 in NTFS format, and two Medion (aldi) 32 gb class 6 in NTFS.
All four work perfectly well. But they are only used for storing media.

I use SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB UHS card as my Data2SD card. Formatted with FAT32 and ext2. NTFS works fine too. But be aware that ext 4 with Data2SD on this card might cause some trouble. I had a lot of freezes and random reboots with Data2SD as long as I used ext4 format. Now I formatted to ext2 and so far I had no freezes nor reboots.
Comp Addable!

Thanks a lot, mate!!
Same here, just make sure to format the card to either NTFS or FAT32, the a700 doesn't like exFAT, which Win7 wants to use.
A700 SDXC Card
Yes, with caveats
I got a New in package SanDisk card and tried it : No go. I tried to reformat the card on my Win 7 machine Quick Format to NTFS. No go. I then Full Formatted it that worked so In put it in and it was all good. Soon, using USB to my Acer Veritone Desktop i7, I gradually go nothing happening and in a micro-to-full-size card adapter I would get Write Protect notices and this just kept getting worse and worse until I couldn't unlock the card with a nuke.
This has been reported on the Iconia forum as gradually turning into a read-only memory
Now the rest of the story, after the mini-update of 6, Nov, I can USB write and delete although it is a bit finicky with Windows Explorer but it's always been like that
I am also getting the Western Digital My Passport 500 GB hard drive formatted to NTFS as recommended by MobileTech
I can confirm SDXC 64GB are recognised and usable with the A700. For FAT32, as Windows refuse to format higher capacity than 32GB, you can use FAT32 guiformat.
Has anybody try 128GB SDXC?

Taken off the Meenova website:
Due to hardware and software limitations of many Android devices -- especially older ones, compatibility with devices not listed here can't be guaranteed.
Samsung: Galaxy S5, S4, S3, S2, S4 Active, Note 3, Note 2, Note, Mega; Galaxy Tab S
Judging from that I would say you'd be perfectly fine, and common sense was telling me before looking it up that you'd be fine.
I can't think of a single modern device that doesn't support OTG, and all OTG devices pretty much work the same.
The only question is whether it supports NTFS or not, but hey... Just format the MicroSD card with FAT32 and you won't have any worries at all.
My recommendation: Go for it :highfive:

It should work for storage sizes up to 2TB. If the S6 can't power a HD over OTG cable, you can get a special OTG cable that lets you add the necessary power from another source.
Hi,
Just a suggestion here, instead of doing it manually by using card and card reader you can do it on the fly you can use sidesync app or smart switch or any other app.
Just install on both phones fire it up on both phones and choose send. It will show you a list of all the content by type and category! Choose whatever you want move and hit send and now on the receiving phone click receive and it'll either create or ask you to join a network u can connect it on send phone by choosing the receiving phone in the "found connection within the app. You will see it start sending files and on the other they'll start coming in. I it is pretty fast too. I have about 40 gigs on my extra and around 20 in internal loads of mp3 which didn't take long. you can check it out. there's even an app by Jio called Jio Switch which does the same. No more downtime and no attachments needed?.
Works!!! I use mine through a SANDISK Wireless USB Flashdrive-(it has a micro-SD slot) out through an OTG & it has been performing flawlessly! You should have no problems with it, but I would make sure it's formated to ExFat or ExFat32 just to make sure it reads....
