USB OTG with multi-card reader - Nexus 5X Accessories

I thought this was pretty cool. I wanted to view some pics from my DSLR the other day and upload them to Google Photos, so I put the card into my card reader and plugged it into my 5X. The reader also had a micro SD card in another slot, and to my surprise, the phone mounted both cards and I was able to view pics on both of them. This may be more to do with Android 6, but I don't have any other phones I can test it on.

You can also use the otg to directly connect to the camera. It will give you the option of looking at them or batch importing them.
5.0 did this as well.

I know, but direct card access is faster for me, as my camera's USB interface is not very fast. The main point of my post though is I thought it was cool I could access both cards at the same time.

That makes sense, I use the same model card reader. Just thought I'd mention that too in case you/someone else didn't realize it.

Possible to use USB pocket memory with XDA???

I have several of those tiny pocket memory devices in various sizes, the type that plugs into usb and is seen as a drive, some also have built in mp3 player, "I dont have that type), I have 64meg, 128meg. I was wondering if there is any possibility of interfacing these devices with the xda as scratch memory, backup or whatever.

Short answer: NO.
usb memory
i used to use a disgo...32mb stick...but i now use a bonzai stick...which is small enuf to fit on a keyring...but uses sd memory card...lets me swap files quickly, from any pc, without carrying round usb lead.
Using Disgo with XDA
Sorry, I wasn;t quite clear what this last post meant... is a disgo or similar (bonzai etc) compatible with XDA, or not?
Thanks
Usb memory devices are not usable with xda, usb uses a client/slave type of protocol, the usb memory device and the xda are both slave devices therefore cannot communicate with one another, the logic does not exist in hardware to achieve this.

gparted errors when creating NF uSD card

So I downloaded the Nookie Froyo v0.6.8 8GB card image, extracted it, and dd'ed the image to my 8GB Sandisk Class-2 uSD. Everything worked as expected, I was able to mount the card after creating it, and my NC booted w/o issue. The ROM ran pretty well, but was a little slow at times. After doing some research here, I ordered a 8GB Transcend Class-6 uSD card with the expectation that the faster card would perform better. I followed the same procedure, dd'ed the image to the new card, however after that was complete I saw the following output in gparted

I am unable to mount any of the partitions, however the NC boots on the card. Performance seems similar to the Class-2 card, and I periodically have force closure problems with basic apps (Email, Walpapers, etc). Could this be related? Should I have done something different with the Class-6 card vs the Class-2? I've already tried wiping the card, formatting it all as one big FAT32, and then re-dd'ing the data with the same result as above.
Edit: For example, it just force closed Time and Date while I was trying to change the timezone.
Okay, after booting off of the card I am able to insert it into my machine and mount all the partitions just fine. Does the NC do something to the file systems?
Okay, everything was fine but now all apps are FC'ing when I try to launch them. I think there's a problem here. It seems like it all starts with a force close message from Google Services Framework (com.google.process.gapps), then all hell breaks loose.
I have similiar problem on my patriot 16gb class 10 microSDHC card.
Have you found any solutions?

"internal storage is 75% full"

My phone gives me the "internal storage is 75% full" from time to time.
Recently, I recorded something on my phone, and the message popped up. So, I clicked it and selected to transfer all photos and videos (which were taking up most of the space apparently) to my micro SD card.
I have a 32 gig micro sd card for my Z1. At the time...there was less than 10 gigs used up. SO, PLENTY of extra space.
When I transferred the content to my SD card, suddenly, I couldn't find some precious pictures/videos in my GALLERY.
. I have used ROOT MANAGER (I have a rooted phone), to copy my DCIM folder from my phone internal storage, and copied EVERYTHING to my micro SD card (which means ALL photos/videos), and chosen to "skip" any duplicates. I did this in hopes the video file I am desperately looking for might have now found its way to my micro SD card.
. I have physically removed the micro SD card and placed it in an SD card reader/adapter, and put that in my computer to try and find the .MOV video file. But, that has also been unsuccessful.
. I tried using EASE USdata recovery wizard (computer program) in an attempt to find and recover the possibly lost video file, but it has proven unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any feedback on anything I may have missed? Is there a directory I'm missing as to where this video file may be?
Thanks in advance for your help!

how fast is the memory card reader?

The g7 is pretty slow when trying to access the music stored on my 400gb card. How fast is the v40 compared to the G7? Has anybody compared or know the actual access specs?
I don't have a G7 to compare but here's my results from Andro Bench.

Never heard of card reader speed? Isn't it all up to the type/quality of card you use?
bencozzy said:
Not entirely. I/O schedule and format and overly card size play a role.
F2fs and bfq are a great combo for memory access speed.

Well, I kind of assumed that all bigger brands were up to date in that matter!?
Regardless, the only thing we can do for now, is getting the highest quality card...
bencozzy said:
Lenovo and Google use f2fs formatting. No one uses bfq scheduler that I know of only custom kernels which is a shame.

Interesting. Where do you get this important information? Kind of disappointing ;(
