Is there a product like this?(Memory Stick convert to SD/MMC slot)

Thanks! :lol: But I already know that... What I want is just Memory stick to SD/MMC slot I dont want to add backpack just to use my memory stick.
Then I guess no such thing exist huh!?

I also tried searching on the Net but found nothing... Hmmm.. too bad..

Thanks for all your help mate... I guess we just need to wait and hope some manufacturer will come up with what we want.

...or XDAIII will have CF Slot! :lol:
P.S. ( If Anyone knows a cheap SD card seller in Europe, please be so kind and let me know - Here in SLovenia are they just 2 Expensive :roll: )
Regards!! :wink:

Yes - I think they should design the upcoming XDA with mutiple memory slots (CF, SD, MMC, MS etc).. Good idea!

LOL... But that sucks if we need to wait for XDA/MDAIII to used different types of memory cards. It means we need to spent another thousand bucks(closed to) to have it. :lol:

well the backpack is not that expensive
of cause one can not always be sure that
using a converter like the backpack to get CF
to use a converter to get MS would work 100%
there will only be such a product as a ms to sd if there was a high enough demand for it
i doubt there is
is it not only sony who use ms ?
sd seem imho to become the std like CF was which is getting old and will prob be outfased in 2 years or something

I guess you're right CF will be faced out in a few years, SD might be the next standard BUT micro drive still using CF isn't it? So I guess there are still some debate on that huh!
I also read somewhere that mini-SD is also coming out soon. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happened in the few years. :roll: :lol:

Belive me - You don't want to have XDAIII with CF slot. Just look at Your precious XDA or XDAII close to Your face during a phone call and imagine it 20% biger and 50g havier. Even now it's way too big as a phone especially that summer is comming and I have totaly no idea how to carry it without all those winter clothes, deep ass hell pockets
Best idea I can imagine is USB port in host mode - I've got HDD 9mm (from laptop computer) in aluminium case connected via USB interface. Imagine U can have 40GB in another pocket to carry all those xxx movies LOL.

which mean that he would like xda3 to support host mode because xda2 dont, so unless his external disk is defect then he can transfer files from his pc not his ppc
if 9mm mean 2.5" laptop hd then i have this case (it's still empty but i will get a fujitcu or seagate 2.5" disk for it soon)
http://www.starkingtech.com/@PRDCT/TT945.htm
it have both firewire and usb2 connecting options
and i will of cause use firewire since irl it's faster then usb2
but it's nice that it have usb2 aswell because far from all computers have firewire yet and usb2 is backward compatible with usb1.1

Will this work with MDA2/XDA2?

It has nothing to do with UR device. U can ask if this reader will work with your SD card (of course it will ) but there is no way to connect XDA to it directly ROTFL.

Here in the US, I'm seeing 256MB SD cards for $30 now, and the high-speed cards for $40.
If that's a lot less than what you pay there, I'd be happy to post one to you. It costs $5 to send something that small to Europe, and it arrives in 4-7 days.

wow...is it really on the market? but looking the connector head kinda rare to find with the camera connector slot?

This thing can only be found at expansys webpages. Not even Samsung has it. So I wount give 2 much 2 it. Greetings Ottschke
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

Where I can find this item? I'm looking forward to buy it. Is there anyone who already has and working?

So what does this actually do?

What it does is allow you to put an SD card from your camera into one end and then connect the other end to the tab. This would allow you to move files back and forth, hence the name Camera Connection Kit.
BUT this product is vaporware because the tab is not a USB host. This thing will never exist and never did exist. It is something that the iPad has and perhaps a optimistic marketer either at Samsung or Expansys slapped a Samsung logo on a pic of the iPad dongle because they expected it to be released.
There are a few other solutions to getting pix from your camera to the tab, none are elegant and some are expensive.
1) Remove your MicroSD from your tab and insert it into a SD card adapter and then insert into your camera. This is cheap but is a pain and the microsd can get hosed if you do not carefully mount it and dismount it when reinserting or removing.
2) Root your tab, buy an Eye Fi X2 Pro card for your camera, install Android Tether for root users and use the card to wifi transfer to your tab, using Eye-Fi Server for Android OS or Fe-Fi or MoPhotos from the Android market
3) Root your phone, remove your microsd, use mobidapter (USB to microSD dongle) and then use root explorer to transfer pics to you internal SD card.

in other words, tab is not gadget to work with camera becaused of this connector issued

darn....... why does all this camera kits stuff have to be in SD Card Format???? My camera only supports CF cards..... and a lot of those mid to high end DSLR used CF.

response from expansys
Expansys inform me before 4 hours that the specific item has remove from the products list!!!!
What can i say?

Honestly... you probably don't want to use your tablet for DSLR photos anyway.
Besides the fact that RAW images are large files (~20-30MB) and huge resolutions (18 Megapixel) that no tablet can adequately handle... there is no way to calibrate the screens or make or convert RAWs on a tablet.
I would use a point-and-shoot camera with a microSD card inside a SD adapter.
Tablets are supposed to be about putting small size and mobility foremost over wide functionality or productivity.

would the current usb kit for the 10.1 work on the p1000?

How does the viewsonic gtab have usb host on 2.2¿
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

Because Viewsonic customized the rom and added it in.

so it becomes a software problem?
i thought there are hacks to enable it on 2.2/2.3 too?

it was possible to inject 2.1 with host mode, many cheap tablets did it. However the p1000 is missing the host protocol on-chip so cannot do the required functions like power regulations etc. So tis more of a no hardware than a software problem.

my thoughts are the usb chip doesn't have ability to control unit to socket power, hence why anything that requires a fair number of volts wont work (memcard reader, mouse, thumbdrive etc)
And I have a few 2.1 tablets with USB host, and a 2.2 tablet with usb host (Scroll and some other weird make).
So not sure what is not correct here? If you have info that rebuts this please share?

I would very much like to be wrong on this, but all of my development and rough research along with the fact there are no volt dependent accessories for the tab7 lead me to conclude that it doesn't do it!
The reason I want to be wrong is that I have a few tabs here and want them to be the product of choice for a project I'm doing, the limiting factor is usb host, I would really want it for 2 hardware accessories, but I found only evidence that the chip that controls the in-socket and the onboard controller do not have ability to play with voltage to the socket thus can never accept any accessory that requires above the base voltage of the board.
Again I REALLY WANT TO BE WRONG here
Let me know if you have any info to say thats wrong please please please !

[HACK] Hardware HDMI/MicroSD Hack? Unused Pins/Connectors

HI! i've found some pics of the nexus 7 motherboard and some connectors seems to be unused... If you look at the "con1" (the one used for micro usb connection) it has 22 pins 0_o. Maybe we can find a hardware hack =D
More images here
We could do a "simple" (dangerous) test: HDMI has a hot plug detection pin, the only way to check is provide one pin with +5v dc and check if any other pin sends a ddc query.... but how can we find the hotplug pin (if there's any)?

From the teardown it was pretty clear there was space for the rear camera as well as HDMI.
The IO presenters were using units with HDMI, so it was probably the same motherboard, populated.
You would have to be a hard-core hacker to want toi add your own HDMI. No idea what is missing beside header and connector. Probably not as bad as adding MHL
I am happy living without HDMI.

Maybe I will never use the hdmi connector but hacking electronical things when i have to hack biological ones every day is a nice way to spend the time xD

Can't back it up right now but will frantically google to find it.. But I remember reading that it had the hardware for mhl but currently not enable in software?
but just tested my jellybeaned gnex and that works fine with mhl so not sure how much truth there is to that.

I can vouch for the photo of a Nexus 7 with an HDMI port, as well as a comment from a presenter that the special units they were using for presentations had HDMI.
No, I can not provide any links. That was thousands of pages ago...
I do not believe the Nexus 7 has the MHL chip, or any provision for it. Asus is not listed as a MHL provider.
Samsung (Nexus) is a MHL provider, so the hardware there would not be a surprise.

In that teardown review (where the OP got that image, I believe), they mistakenly said it supported HDMI out and included a picture of the HDMI cable from the nexus Q. They later retracted that comment.
That might be the source of the confusion.

There was at least one actual picture of a Nexus 7 with an HDMI port on the bottom.
I think a reviewer got their hands on a presenter's unit.

The image you're looking for is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736916
The internel dev versions (the ones used for presentations) had mini hdmi.
So, it does make sense that theres space on the board.

Thank you for that picture link! I searched everywhere for that...
At least that is one less reason to think I have lost my mind...

I'd love to be able to solder on an sdcard slot, if that's all that's needed. It's generally pretty easy to solder to headers if you're careful about it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

From the teardown, I don't recall seeing any space for an SD card.
Rear camera - yes, HDMI - yes, but not SD Card.
I could be mistaken...
Also, the external storage problem has been pretty much solved with a USB OTG cable and stickmount.

we could solder a slod for an additional sd card... there's enaught space to fit in a sd card without "external" access.

How in the world has this thread not been moved/locked yet? Obviously not development, and hardly an original topic.

we're counting pins and waiting for more info =P
look here: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/KjNsrjlvHZdFWEGF.huge
we have 14 free pins and an hdmi data connection requires only 12 wires + 5v + grnd.
i'm looking for someone who can do some simple tests on the unused pins.
when i will have the nexus 7 i'll do it by myself at uni but maybe someone who have the I/O version now could do something meantime.

Looks pretty interesting to me hope we cram a sd card In there somewhere.

My micro USB to micro SD card reader

Here's my first attempt at making a compact micro sd card reader. So excuse the overall finish. If doing it again, i would be a bit more precise with cutting and maybe use something other than superglue so it fills in the gaps neatly. This was just a one off to see if it works! Was tested with a spare 8GB i had lying around. WIll obviously be getting some class 10 cards!
Plan is to have a few 32GB cards then can just keep a load of storage in wallet etc. Got the idea from another member on here who did a micro usb to usb adapter.

I admire your aspirations. If only more people would want to design these things in this form factor.
P.S.
Class 10 is very slow compared to UHS-1...:silly:

Nice job, looks like you used the same Kingston micro SD reader I used, I went for a wire though so I'm less likely to snap it.

Wow thats creative

I'm wondering if this can be done with a flat ribbon cable and generally made as flat as possible so that it can permanently sit attached between the back of the nexus 4 and a case. That would be awesome.

Nicely done.
Are you just using this for carrying media around with you or do you have it for file transfer on and off? I'm assuming your rooted so does StickMount work with this application to allow you transfer on and off of any file type?

MAN I would love to have that. I am too lazy to make one though

Carrying media around. Can get a holder for micro SD cards that's credit card sized.

I used a hot glue gun to fill in my adapter. Worked well to ensure a nice, tight fit, and you can easily cut away any excess that squeezes out between the cracks.

here is mine, it's a regular microsD reader + micro USB plug.. combined all together in a heatshrink
works great with stickmount

I've managed to modify and repackaged the stock 4.2.1 kernel which combined with my Vold.fstab gives me simple, auto mount, read write access to my stick without custom ROM.
It won't show up in storage devices (yet) cause I need a suitable apktool to modify the framework, but if anyone's interested and wants to stay stock as possible, I'd be happy to share it when I get home.

Hey guys here's the final recipe:
1) Get the Nano MIcroSD card reader kinda like this one;
2) Get the small and nice 32GB UHS-I MicroSD card itself, like this one;
3) Hook'em up with one of these bad boys, depending on the style you would like to get: usual flash drive , flexing and long , g-style flash drive
$5 + $2.5 + 25$ = $30 Real 32 gig gansta stick-it-on-the-fly OTG-USB-SD CARD Reader extension combo, dawg.

Nice job, however, for additional advantage of that UHS-1 card's speed, you should probably get a UHS compatible reader.

Project FrankenNexus

Hey guys,
So i got bored and decided I wanted to try expanding the storage capabilities of my N7. Using StickMount Pro, an OTG cable, a Western Digital 500GB HDD and some double sided tape, I mounted the HDD to a back case and viola... I now have a 516GB N7!!! In the near future I will attempt to add a 4-port USB hub... stay tuned!
UPDATE:
Well this started as a bored guy having fun and has evolved into an actual project.
I've decided to scale back somewhat in an attempt to be more power friendly.
On this attempt I scrapped the HDD (for obvious reasons). I modified the OTG cable and added a 4 port USB hub with a dongle for my mouse. The remaining 3 USB ports will be used for 2x mini USB card readers w/ 32GB micro SD cards and another dongle for my wireless keyboard.
BTW the flip case makes a great mouse pad.
UPDATE 12/29:
Now that some of my X-Mas goodies have arrived I've added 2x mini USB readers and 2x SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD cards.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness as the rest of my goodies have yet to arrive...
UPDATE: 01/10/13:
This project has morphed a few times now but I finally have a configuration that works for me. I wanted to make this a project that anyone can do without all the soldering and modding that I see in other threads around the web. I originally wanted to make a case with the mods built in to it, but after some serious consideration, I decided that I wanted a much easier project ( I am quite lazy). The only real modification I made was to the USB OTG cable, but is not necessary to make this work.

kudos for trying to work on the storage problem..but i wouldnt really call duct taping a harddrive to a case a "mod"

velcro woulda been a smarter idea as thats what i plan on doing using otg cable and usb-to-mini adapter so no extra cable

As you can see I have too much time on my hands and don't take anything seriously. This was just a fun way to waste some time. As for battery life... I get about 2 hours if I'm lucky lol.

SSDs are getting cheaper and use less power, that might be a route to go for the next mod

loooooooooool

Off topic, but what is that shell case you're using, OP?

Though implementation was a little funny, this is an excellent idea!
SSD and some more creative work with cable shortening/plug modding would make a pretty sweet beast.
Thanks for sharing!

Not really a mod but I do like the concept...Imagine having a really thin SSD drive strapped to the back of your n7

Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery

Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

Case
Hey,
If you don't mind me asking, what case is that?

I'm currently working on a few different versions. The one pictured, one using a SSD (which is much more portable and uses way less battery) and one using a 4 port USB hub and 4 x 128 GB Flash Drives. More pictures to come upon successful completion.

Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery

Don't waste your time using a HDD as battery life suffers greatly but my next attempts are going to be much improved and hilarious too

this is too funny

what about making a case for the hdd that it sits in and clips to the edges of the nexus 7 like a car mount but a hdd to the nexus type mount
