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.

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.

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.

Hi,
I am thinking turning an cheap chinese Android tablet (probably 7 inch) into home "sound system" or jukebox (offline use, wall mount + wall charger powered) together with my PC active speakers. It is only for a small room, I know about common quality of the sound output of such devices and do not take it as problem.
However, I would like to make it easier to store and replace albums etc. and thus need to replace the tablet microSD slot with a slot for standard SD cards (expect 32GB or more 16GB pieces) which are cheaper and much easier to remove. Are there any expected issues related to removing current slot and soldering the new one? As I know from using passive SD adapters for microSD cards - both slots should have same wiring.
Did anybody here already tried something similar? Would appreciate advices or comments.
there shouldnt be any problem with soldering a full size one on as inside sd to micro sd convertors there is no circuitry it is just a pin to pin connection. and your project sound quite cool actually hope everything goes well :good:
Yes, it's possible but i would be scared about doing something similar except if the tablet is dead and this is need to revive it.
You need a good hand to solder it, take care about near circuits! Don't keep your solder near circuits too much, just a few seconds to get you soldering!
Let us know if you'll try this mod!
Hi,
I know the circuitry is very sensitive and I planned to ask my friend who has professional soldering station. However, we just found out that the tablet we have (noname chinese 7-inch tablet without battery, but works OK on usb power) should support USB host (it is switched on in kernel and my brother found some info related the motherboard), so I will order some cheap USB host cable on Ebay and check this alternative first. It would be better for me as I could use common flash disks as music storage.
So will see.... :laugh:
What kind of one-piece USB-C reader/adapter can be used to directly connected to the Mi Mix to use an external microSDXC 64Gb card as external storage to easily transfer files? I don't mean a cable that in one end is the connector that goes into the phone and then on the other end is a bulky adapter where the memory card needs to go in.. I mean a one piece, ultra small, all in one, one end is the usb-c connector and the other hand the mini slot where the memory.card goes in..
I actually don't even know if the Mix connectivity is USB2 or 3 but wondering what will work and is the fastest that once attached to the Mix just shows in a file manager Android app directly as external storage.
Thanks for the input or recommendation on a brand or model/s.. if such thing exists like for example Lexar makes for iPhone that is a 1/2" mini adapter, lightening port on one side and a back slot where the memory card goes in directly
I think you could try something like this.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nekteck-...6447&wl11=online&wl12=483707996&wl13=&veh=sem

Thanks for the info Will these be automatically recognized as external storage by the phone once plugged-in or are there any settings/tweaks that need get changed or activated for this to work as a plug-and-play storage?
Thanks again very much
So does anyone know if there is a case that adds ports or an SD card to the 1 + 6? That would be amazing since all these dev are killing the SD. But I have not been able to fine any. Is there something wrong with this idea?

Devs are killing SD cards?!
Wow, I never knew developers could remove the slot physically before the device even enters production.
As for the need for SD cards on the go, I suggest this:
Ingelon Micro SD Card Reader Metal OTG Adapter USB type c tf card adapter usb3.1 usb c type adapter Microsd Card Reader
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/caeALW01
You can put it on your keychain, it's small and it looks good.
I ordered one for myself so that my 128GB SD card currently in my old phone doesn't just sit idle in it.
You realize that the manufacturer is still the developer of the phone right? And yes, as you can see by the 1+6 the ROG phone, and others they are sliding toward having no card slot so that we have to buy the expensive model. Like @#$&ing apples stupidity.
Hey I found this but they don't have one for our phone yet.

you say oneplus does the same as apple? wtf
I'm using this one w/ soft case on the key ring to protect the usb-C from dust.
http://www.meenova.com/st/p/dash_g3c.html
Why is this turning into a argument people? I asked about a case not your criticism.
Now, I will state the question again, and please try to stay on topic.
Does everyone know of a case that could add a SD reader? Or multiple USB C ports for that matter?
Thanks.
See, my phone (Moto X 2013) supports OTG, but does not have a micro SD slot.
It only has 16 GB of storage which has proven to fall short for my needs because I love listening to music on the go, and I have a lot of music.
Another thing is that the USB port of my phone has some short of false contact after years of use, so sometimes a little wiggle can make it disconnect, this is the main reason why I want the USB to be so small, so that when I walk with it on my pocket, it doesn't get disconnected because I touched it 'wrong'.
So that's the question, do you know of any small micro USB device (without the need of a micro USB adapter because it adds length and volume)?
Something like the Sandisk Cruze but on a micro USB form, something that looks more like the USB plug of a wireless keyboard than a USB storage device. Thank you.
As a side note, I was thinking of those phone cases that serve as external batteries, well if there was something like that but that served as a micro SD to micro USB adapter, I could use that. The thing is that I have seen no such thing for sale and even if there was, I doubt I would be able to find one for my exact phone model from 7 years ago.
