Nah... It's for a flash drive... The Microsoft SD will of course have a shorter profile but the flash should work

You can but the micro SD card is a much smaller attachment and come in capacities that are cheaper and higher than the flash drives.

Only thing I noticed when I used mine on the Nexus 6, if you left it in, it was a constant battery drain.
I originally got it to store 70GB of music on it. Every time I plugged the drive in, it would have to "scan for media" or something similar. The more storage/media, the longer it took. And when it was plugged in, you cant charge your phone (and wireless charging did not work either).

Good question. Id have to check if any allow simultaneous data + charge, use a usb a extension cable.
Besides my intention is having portable access to mass storage mainly for offline data access.. It works as a charging cable as well albeit a short one. Can be used to xfer from another device/ pc..

[Q] Can anyone recommend me a different micro usb cable?

I do not want to get the genuine one as they dont have that flexible thing (example below).

Other Cables
I say this because i have used already 4 HTC cables and they all stopped working properly when that rubbery bit rips (example below).
The phone doesnt charge properly and the computer doesnt recognise the cable/phone.
I want a recomendation because i once used a nokia cable but that didnt work as it took forever to charge my phone.
Out of these ones which one will work properly: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro+usb

I use the blackberry one. I bought a few of them as they were in pound land - recommended
The Nokia cable shouldn't be slower as its basically the same
I haven't had any problems with the cables I've bought from monoprice.com for about a buck a piece... Every one of them charges just fine and works will on the computer as well.
I haven't found a cable which doesn't work. Any cable I throw at it works just fine .

If you buy anywhere else, you're paying too much.
I really like CMPLE cables. You can get them from Amazon and they're not too expensive either. http://www.amazon.com/Cmple-Micro-P...GXDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355161774&sr=8-1

When plugging in USB to Phone, it only charges.

Why is this? I installed all the drivers too. (My end goal is to root this, and if the USB port is broken, is there a way to root via an APK?)
Does your phone prompt to connect mass storage?

ROM? If your USB port was "broken" you wouldn't be able to charge. No way to root without USB. Possible data pin corruption. Seek further direction from the google.

No, no it does not, it only charges. And I even changed it so that it has to prompt me to connect to mass storage. I also have to say that the usb cable is working, and I've tried 3 other computers.

What cables are you buying? They all charge and transmit if they're micro usb. It could be a bad cable from the data pinout side or it could be a bad connection on the data pinouts from the phone side. Here's the photos

Either way you will never be able to buy a micro USB cord that doesn't have five strands.
It isn't the cable, I tried using the same cable to connect up to my Optimus T, and the device showed up in windows and on the phone as an option to connect as mass storage.
Well. Maybe the same thing happened to yours as mine. The usb connector broke off from the motherboard. But there's 7 contacts on the other side; +5V and GND have two each so it's possible to have broken just the tx or rx lines thereby leaving it incapable of talking but still able to charge.
I have exorcised the demons! This house is clear.
But seriously try wiggling it or bending it. If it works and/or finishes breaking it off you'll know for sure.
Dang, I really don't want to open my phone and check if it's broken. Hm. Is there another way to root the phone via an APK, or flashing an update.zip or something like that?
Not really. Better if you fix it. Sorry dude.

Even if there is (and I don't think so) that wouldn't be a good idea. If anything at all goes wrong or you aren't happy with what you would have done, there would be no way to go back to stock without the data port working (since the back to stock methods we have use Heimdall or Odin and require a computer). I just don't think it would be safe.

When I took mine apart it looked fine it's only when I actually looked under a microscope that I could see the cracks. Ok the microscope may have been overkill but definitely find a magnifying glass or some reading glasses.

ENHANCE!

USB C MicroSD Card Adapter, with Full Size USB A also!

I'm assuming this will work, so I'm ordering one today.
Not that I'll need one much with the 128gb version, but I like to copy my nandroid backups off.

Has anyone found any others?
i've seen a couple of these, but would rather it be an OTG dock instead of a flash device.
So I've been doing some looking and saw the AMA said that the 6P will not support USB C - HDMI adapters, but they didnt' say anything about these. I'm pretty sure it supports OTG, so this should work fine, right?
Can anyone confirm that you can also write to this from your phone. on the site it says its a reader so not sure if you can also write to it from android phone????

Strange question maybe. Can you insert the MicroSD card into the adapter, plug it into your phone, and have it functional as an OTG storage device? And ALSO, with the card still inserted, move the adapter to the computer, and insert the USB Type A side into a USB port, and have it work as a flash drive (not connected to the phone at the same time of course)?

You would need a female type-c to male type-c cable. I haven't seen one of those yet. It might work with a USB-A extension cable...

So, I bought this one, it is great so far. I've been using it to move files from my G3 to my 6P.
Nice and speedy.
I just received the Monoprice device. When I connect it to my Nexus 6P, it's not recognized at all. I have tried several different microSD cards.
What format does the microSD card have to be formatted? exFAT ? FAT32? ext4?

usb c to usb 2.0 micro-b cable

Does anyone have any suggestions. I would like to hook my 6P to a Chord Mojo
Did you find anything which does this?
Can I ask a question: I'm looking at getting a Chord Mojo too but sometimes I just want to listen to Spotify - I'm pretty sure it'll work, but can you confirm?

Unless you're a premium spotify user, using an expensive DAC for low quality music is not ideal.

Free Level Speaker - Charging your device

Hey all,
Did anyone else receive their free Level wireless speaker yet? Mine came today
And you know what? It's alright! I'll definitely use it whilst firing up the BBQ or doing the washing up.
But, how the hell do you charge another device from it? Using the supplied micro to micro USB cable and the USB micro to USB type C adaptor does nothing. Even using the micro to micro into another device still doesn't work.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but there's nothing in the manual about it.
Cheers

I got mine yesterday too, and while it's a bit quiet, the fact you can take it to the pool or the shower, is a big plus. If they were £30 I might buy another to connect two haha.
I am not sure though that it's meant to charge other devices, I think those cables might be to charge the speaker?
