[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 - *Internal* Card Slot Available? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I really want the Galaxy tab 10.1, but why pay extra for the 32gb if the 16GB has a microSD card slot internally eh?
So thats what I want to know - does the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (ebay item: 110756156438), have a micro sd card slot INTERNALLY so I can crack it open put a quality 32GB card in and seal it up again?

Highly unlikely.

I'm pretty sure there is not a card slot inside. It's just like all other android devices that specify internal and external SD. The internal SD is hardwired. I'm not sure why they call it internal SD and not flash memory or NV memory as it only adds confusion. The best thing to do is get the 16 GB and buy the OTG usb host adapter on Ebay for $7 to connect a USB hard drive (that's what I did). Not worth an extra $100 for the 32 GB version IMO.

Damn you samsung, I can live with ALL the shortcomings of the Galaxy tab, but not the exclusion of a Micro SD card slot. It's a deal breaker - not just because I can add more storage but because should it get bricked I can grab my files from the SD card!

Then wait for the Toshiba AT200.

Or the Transformer 2?

Not this thread again. About 2 months there was a big debate about this. It ended when someone opened up a tab and confirmed there is NOT a slot internally.

Doesn't this come free with the tablet to begin with? I got one inside the box, so maybe they started including it later. Never used it yet, but I think this is what they threw in with the tab: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-1PL0BEGSTA

I just got mine last week from Best Buy and all that was in the box was a wall charger, usb cable and earbuds. The adapter you linked to was on the shelf next to it for $20.

It would love to take this thing apart and see for real. Im sure you could mod it to accept something bigger

Thanks for that dude, those pics were very helpful! I thought because the 10.1v had one (or some say it did), maybe the 10.1 would aswell for those not afraid to crack it open.
My bad it's not a simcard slot.

That's strange, over here (in India) it was a part of package i.e. the adapter was inside the box. Both me and my friend who bought the tablet about a week apart got one.

I didnt get one. :-(

Dock with USB OTG & Charging

Hi All,
I now have the Atrix with lapdock and it's really useful for travel in that I get a small lightweight system without having to lug a company issue laptop. I'd hoped to replace it with Note and a small hub to allow me to use my HDD to move files from say the HDD to my phone or to another USB drive in case I have to give another person files, etc.
Does anyone know if this is available for the Int'l Note?
Been looking but haven't seen much. I could buy a mini powered USB hub I guess but a dock would be nicer. AND if the hub had say 3 or 4 USB ports then I could plug mouse, kbd, hdd, and have one open port. BUT, that's so messy and half/ass looking. Plus I would have to prop up the Note to either type on screen or use a keyboard.
This is about as close as I can think of. http://www.spider-foot.com/battery-...ng-galaxy-note-n7000-i9220-i92h5e-p-1125.html
Im thinking about picking one up if I find that I have a need for a desk dock

You can get a OTG adapter cable for your GNote which allows you to upload and download files, picts, video, music etc to a thumb drive to and from the GNote. I got mine from Amazon for like $3.50 or so. It has a micro USB to hook up to the phone and a USB for the thumb drive. I have not seen much luck on using the cable with a HDD, and I have not tried.

And there is no difference between them physically. Both phones use a micro USB port in the same location and orientation. There is a US version, I dont know why it links the European model in my post tho.
I ordered one and it should be here next week I hope.

Any further info on this dock? Did it receive it yet and are you happy with it? I bought the official samsung dock that is compatible with the AT&T Note but I have a slim case on it so the Micro USB port didn't reach far enough! This one looks nice but it probably has the same issue with a thin case preventing a good contact with the micro USB port.

5in1 OTG Host Adapter SD Card Reader for Note 3

Did anyone have this card reader for note 3. I'd love to buy one, but one of the main uses would be to backup photos from CF & SD Cards to the 32g internal, whilst we are travelling.
Wow, this looks cool! I hope someone has tried it and it does work for us. Thanks!

That's why I said it looks cool. I'd rather hear a real user's experience than rely on the manufacturer's possibly faked video.
I'm curious to know if it can support more than 1 devices at a time (the video doesn't show that). Like, can I have a SD card + USB drive both plugged in, and transfer data between them, or SD Card + a mouse at the same time etc.

I placed an order on it today. I will post my feedback here.
I won't use anytything large extending from imho fragile µUSB B port in fear of accidentially damiging it.
Thats why I use an extension cable where a 90° connector just barely extends from the Note e.g. DELOCK 83104 or if you want no cable DELOCK 65473
Then add a Delock USB2.0-Stick with micro SD Slot. They are available from 1 GB up to 32 GB (DELOCK 54276).
Together its not larger then the various USB-A & µUSB-B Sticks, but safer for the Notes fragige µUSB-B port.

Was very skeptical about this because of the low price, and not branded.
I tested it with a Samsung Galaxy Note III phone. i plugged the SD card from a camera, and it detected the card and let me view the pictures.WHEN IT DETECTS THE DEVICE, A MSG APPEARS ON THE TOP LINE.I tried an 8 GB thumb drive. i was able to see my Word docs. I opened one with QUICKOFFICE, and it worked great.

[Review] SanDisk Ultra Dual USB OTG Drive on Nexus 6

This is the SanDisk Ultra Dual USB OTG Drive on the Nexus 6
There are 2 sides, the full usb and micro usb sides. This allows for easy file transfers between it and your computer, and between it and your phone.
It works perfectly. NO ROOT REQUIRED
App used: Nexus USB OTG File Manager
Always been interested in these kind of USB flash drives, another good one to look into is the CORSAIR Voyager GO which is USB 3.0 and has OTG.

I had it on my keychain so I liked having the ends protected. I live in a rather rainy area so that wouldn't be good if I had it completely exposed.

You don't need stick mount when you use Es File Explorer. I uninstalled stick mount after I realised that Es File Explorer doesn't need it to work. I'm just glad that There are so many OTG drives out there to choose from.

It's free to test to see if your drive works but purchase it necessary to use. I'm sure there may be other free ones out there but as you can see in the video this one is very simple to use.

I use ES file explorer but while I'm able to watch videos, long movies cause my app to crash randomly. I have to copy it to my device and watch it. Kind of disappointing since I used to use a usb flash stick with OTG cable and it worked fine. I wonder if it's a lollipop issue or maybe it's better if i use stickmount.

What are your recommendations?

And yes they say you have to be rooted/ have a third party app.
wonder why i have to be rooted... Do i need to use StickMount for this accessory?

I can't tell you for sure since I had stickmount installed before I received my meenova. All I can say is... Perfect solution. I have my 64gb SD in my meenova on my keychain, so whenever I feel like doing a backup, it's right there. FolderSync is a nice app, too. On top of that, TWRP supports OTG, so I can do my backups straight to/from the adapter and don't have to use up 3gb of my internal storage for my latest backup.
Bottom line:
Love it.
Now Dash Micro
The Meenova has been retired in favour of the extremely similar looking Dash Micro.
I'm pleased to see these ship to the UK so I am going to order one. The lack of an SD card slot in the N6 almost put me off it. One of these will be useful.
Stickmount is required for the Meenova Dash Micro. I had hoped it wasn't necessary, no big deal though. Before this, I had a 64gb Sandisk Dual USB stick which worked well but also required Stickmount.

Corsair Voyager go works well.
I bought the Meenova after I got a Nexus 5. It's one of the best accessories I have ever bought. I haven't upgraded to the Dash Micro yet. Now I'm using the Meenova with my Nexus 6 paired with the Stickmount app and it's a match made in heaven!

I have been using OTG to transfer files from and to my galaxy devices and it is working very well
But the sad news is that our note pro cannot give enough power to portable HDD ( the ones i used were 1Tb and 2tb, on my note 3 and my note edge they work but not on the note pro)
You can connect flash memories and anything that consumes low voltage like a mouse or a keyboard or a flash memory

I'm not looking to connect hdd's.
I already have planned what I'm doing.
First of all I'm gonna find some way to strap it to the back of the tablet case, and then, I got 1 for now, ultra fit usb flash drive, which will go in one of the usb ports.
I got a memory stick pro duo adapter which I can slot two of my micro sd cards into, and then stick it in the otg.
And then one micro sd card in an sd card adapter to put in the sd card slot. :3
This thing makes no sense. It's great yeah, but it's weird, it can have three flash drives or usb devices running at once, but when it comes to cards of any kind, you can only use one at a time, even if one is in a usb adapter, it still won't allow two.
It makes no sense, usb all you want, but cards only one. Why?

Sorry, just came across this post. Here are several methods I use; a 128Gb Sandisk USB 3 thumb drive [http://a.co/9OVzdu5 ] and a USB 3 OTA adapter [http://a.co/jfMs2Yq ] along with the 128gb micro card in the device. If you need terabytes, get a wireless battery powered portable hard drive [http://a.co/fzM9ZPi], it works on mine. I also had a spare 240gb mSATA card from when I replaced my laptop drive. I bought a case for it and use that - the tablet has enough power to use it. Finally, I have connected a self-powered 2 Tb desktop drive with good results via the OTG cable. It just takes a while when opening your file explorer. Last, but not least, you can connect to your NAS via WiFi [ I use QNAP, and have accessed it from everywhere that I've visited that had good inet speeds via the QNAP apps]
Do you have more info on QNAP? Where to get it for instance? Is it in the Play Store?

QNAP is a hardware vendor for Network Attached Storage units - look on Amazon or NewEgg. I got the empty 2 bay one and loaded some spare drives I had laying around so I have 2 Tbytes mirrored now. Their apps allow remote access for files, music and movies to their devices.
