Hi,
my microSd card doesn't slide fully into the case. The original plastic card is 2 mm short and has been fine tuned that it is cut at the end, so it does not stuck out.
So with card inserted i feel it with my left hand it looks out of the device.
Anybody that has a card that fits perfect?

mine used to until I sanded down the edge , so now it doesnt.
Its normal

mine seems even with the volume rocker, doesn't stick out passed that.
May be normal, but it is bunk. You can hit the card and I fear losing it as it sticks out a lot IMHO. Bad design.
i just pulled mine out of the TF101 that fitted perfect there and now i also fear loosing it etc.
Just crap, there is no excuse for me. Especially if it where somewhere else where you do not hold it it would not be so boring.
My microSD sticks out of the slot too. Didn't do that on the original TF101 but with this one it's too easy to hit it by accident and have it fall out. I did that yesterday and happened to see that it was not latched in, ready to fall out. I compared the card with the blank insert and the blank is quite a bit smaller. You can sand down the excess I guess?
BUT in sanding warranty on the card is gone and I would think you would have to worry about heat build up damaging it in some way unless you went slow - don't use a dremel Plus, be mindful of the dust and introducing that into the cards metallic slots.
Nevertheless, sanding is a hack and not sure why they did not recess the slot more to be flush as it is totally not flush. Not even close.
That annoys me and also the sd card on the bottom taskbar annoys me. I wish I could remove that icon.

This is the kind of stuff that unlocked bootloaders and root can do. Someone can tweak the files or hack a fix to remove that notification - just like they have already made a hack to remove the permanent google search on the home screen seen now in ICS. It also annoys me as it is not a logical place for it. And hell, we already know we have a card it... we can feel the damn thing sticking up
Okay listen to me this is the standard micro sd card size from the sd association
microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC
15 mm × 11 mm × 1.0 mm
Now look here on pages 13-14 the SD specifications gives them a maximum minimum and normal sizes for every single dimension on a card
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=..._uyKAg&usg=AFQjCNHejdZXdsfJRJPcT4PEWKJqDTm2PA
so they are almost allowed a whole mm don't blame ASUS for this they designed the port for the shortest length so you can pull the card out

When I get my dock on Monday and add my second sd card in it will it let me know that I have 2 installed?
can someone post a picture of how much a micro SD sticks out? why would they choose to design it like this?
then again, these are the geniuses who wrapped an all metal back over GPS and WiFi radios with no RF window

Yes, you will have two notification icons on the bottom right, and if you plug in a USB thumb drive or portable drive you will get a third. The full size SD card also sticks out of its slot further then on the OG Transformer.

I don't have the capability to try either of these (long story, involves an ex and online purchases ), but I'm sure someone either has or is willing to give it a shot!
Very interesting...
With this oversized battery cover for my extended battery I could see a useful hiding spot for that micro SD to SD converter...
Still not brave enough to disassemble my $300 phone.
I do like the idea of the SD adapter and extended battery and cover. I doubt you'd have to disassemble the phone to pull it off, just shave off a bit of the extended battery cover and route the ribbon cable into it and slap it back together.
Don't know if the dream would support the transfer speeds, but a 150x full size SD would be sweet.
FM transmitter would be nice, except all the frequencies are used up in this area.
Would there be any benefits from having a regular SD card though? I thought that a class 6 microsdhc is just as fast? They're about the same price, too.

That is the question. Class 6 is the highest rating, which is supposed to denote a minimum of 6MB/sec write speed. A Wikipedia article says class 6 = 40x.
Some full size cards claim to be faster than that. Kingston manufactures one that claims 120x speed. I wouldn't expect triple speed, but it would be fun to test.
This is all assuming that the adapter will work, and that the i/o in the phone can keep up.
With a full size SD card you could use a eyefi card.

Ordered one of those ^^^ earlier this week. I'll review it once it comes in.
Hi, as you can probably tell I'm new here but definately not in experienced in the tech area. Anyway I'll skip straight to the problem at Hand.
I have been googling hard away the last couple of days for anything along the lines of 'full size SD card adapter for smartphone' etc.
I sadly haven't located one or even seen one, a forum I visited had 1 person in possession of a micro usb powered full size SD card adapter, but was connected to a tablet so I have no idea if it would work on a 3D. No links on where he purchased it either:/
Does anyone here have a link as to where I might be able to buy one of these adapters, or somewhat further information about the actual chances of the 3D being able to support one?
The main reason I need one is because my DSLR camera uses full size SD cards and I needed a way to transfer images to my phone, touch them up with apps and have them ready to share as I'm shooting.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Almost all MicroSD aftermarket cards come with a SD adaptor such as the one below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231509
I bought one from dealextreme for about $7 several years ago. The problem is fitting the adapter in the phone. But for your use, perhaps you can just use it temporarily without the back cover on the phone.
The adapter has a small ribbon cable that connects to a micro SD plastic piece. The ribbon cable extends out to a larger plastic slot for a full size SD card.
The problem with our phone is that the microsd card sits flush with the battery. I'm not sure if there's enough room to fit the ribbon cable between the microsd side of the adapter - and the battery. If I can find my adapter - I'll check tonight.
The easy way to make this "permanent" would be to use an extended battery back cover, without actually using an extended battery. Otherwise, there's definitely not enough room behind the stock cover for the adapter.
Thanks for the replies but I don't want to have to buy another micro SD to put in a full SD in my camera. I just need a USB card adapter like the 7 in 1 types you see at most stores but one compatible for an evo:/

With Olympus Rom and Chad Goodman's Anthrax kernel it is possible to enable USB Host, which as is sounds will allow you to connect camera straight to evo (with USB OTG Cable). At this time it is really hit or miss whether it will work on your phone, some people have got it to work and others not...That is where I am at the moment. Chad is in the process of making it work on all evo 3Ds as long as they are running a rom with usb host mode enabled (Olympus is the only rom at the moment with this feature I believe). Chad has been able to use the function on his phone and had sucess with usb keyboard and usb external drive.

That is NOT what I was suggesting, I was suggesting that this might work:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/sd-to-microsd-transflash-card-converter-module-27001
But I don't think it will fit safely into the EVO3D's microSD slot. The plastic piece which connects to the normal microSD slot is longer than a regular microSD - and will crash against the battery, unless it was bent. I was not willing to try to bend my adapter for this check, sorry.
I think your best bet is to root your phone to one of the ROM's that handles USB host as suggested above.

Well I happen to own the GSM model with which the SD card slot would work with this no problem as it is on the side facing outwards without any battery interfering with it. I might look into that at the later.
A further question about gaining USB host through rooting does anyone know how to root a GSM model with HBOOT 1.49.0013 on Vodafone Au? If not then I will have to settle for the adapter displayed above which wouldn't bother other than the fact is that I want to transfer photos from the Full SD to the Micro SD not to internal memory as that could take a while as the files arn't particularly small:/
If this is sounding strange its like the adapter Apple made for the iPad called 'camera connectivity kit' etc. This is a small inch by inch brick that simply plugs into the charging port and accepts SD cards for transfer to the internal memory.
Hi
i just got my Pipo M8 from Spemall.com
it look very good but i have some minor issues , questions :
1. can i calibrate the touch screen ? when the tabket is placed on the table the touch isnt working well
also the rotation doesnt always work .
2.the Battery status allways shows charging 99% , all the time it shows 100% even when its not connected to the wall , i left the tablet in stby mode over night and in the morning is was dead .The games are runing well also the sound is good
what can i do ?
do i need to replace the firmware ?
thanks
TK
Hi,
1. it doesn't seem we can calibrate the screen. Once in my hands, the tablet is working well, but on a flat support the touch screen isn't so reactive
2. leave your M8 plugged to DC one night and you'll calibrate the battery. I've done this and now when the battery is fully charged, the white light shut down, and the tablet indicates "battery charged".
I've had problems with charger : when I was using my tablet while it was charging, the DC connector moves a little, and the tablet stops charging. In fact, I've noticed the little plug was not fully in the tablet, so I've cut less than 1 mm of black plastic and now it stays fully in the tablet, even if I move it while using it.
Another issue : I'm still unable to use TF cards on this tablet. I've tried 2GB and 8GB microSD cards, none are recognized. When I use them with USB adapter + USB cable on the host port, they are recognized... Have you successfully used TF cards in the TF card port with your M8 ?

This is because of very low quality charger supplied with PiPo. You should better throw it away and buy new, better one.
I've disassembled the tablet, and I've identified why the micro SD card does not work. Pins of the socket connector are to short to touch the Micro SD card, the connector is defective... I'm going to buy a new one and solder it instead of the old one.

It's not easy but it can be done without major difficulty.

Finally that was a faulty little spring which was the cause of this problem. I've adjusted it and now the TF Card stay in front of the pins and Android is able to use the card ! great !!

- take your tablet from the rear side in one of the two round corners
- insert a nail in the round corner and pull off the corner
- then a thin plastic card, unlock each hook one by one along the edges
you'll find the mainboard, the batteries (that are approximately 2 or 3 mm thick), the connectors that are very roughly soldered, the logic board of the screen...

Brightness issue Pipo M8 3G
I've got Pipo M8 3G, and I have an issue with the screen brightness. When I dim the screen all the way down (minimum brightness) it starts to flicker (seems that lcd backlight flicker). It is very well visible on the white background (while browsing internet) and there is no problem if the brightness is set to more than 20%.

Yes, what charger did you try and does it solve the touch screen issue when charging.
Short Story: Is there an easy way to clean the MicroSd slot? I want to make sure the connection is clean.
Long Story: I got a small amount of water on my phone last night and realized it wasn't charging in the morning. . I proceeded to take out my battery, microsd and Sim Card and stick it in a bag of rice and let it sit for awhile. Good news is the phone is now charging again. It had always worked great. Bad news is, some debris from the rice got into the microsd and SIM slot. I was able to gas duster the SIM slot clean enough where the SIM slot works, but the SD card slot I'm striking out with. It clicks in place, but I'm getting an error on it, saying to remove and insert a new SD card.
Did you test the sd card in another reader to confirm that it is the slot?

Yup, works perfect on my laptop with a microsd slot. I blew a good amount of rice out of the slot on the phone, but I assume I didn't get it all or it left a residue on the connection points.

Hello all!
I am going to start work on adding a usb micro sd card reader to the nexus 9. I started off by taking off the nexus 9 backplate (very easy, just need a finger nail to get the clips undone) and you are immediately greeted with the internals of the tablet. The first thing I noticed is an indentation for what I believe to be where the micro sim card would go for the LTE version of the tablet, it could also be a place were they were going to put a micro sd expansion slot but may have ruled it out in the end. I also noted that there is some grooves for routing wires down to the micro usb slot, which would definitely make it easier to keep the wires clean looking. the micro sd card adapter I was thinking of using is this one: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Nano-Mo...6610073&sr=1-10&keywords=micro+sd+card+reader
I would end up tripping of the usb connector for the reader and soldering wires straight from the read to the mobo.
Take a look at the pictures enclosed and let me know if you have any suggestions.
Stay tuned! More updates to come!
You beet me to this
I will most likely do this
You're looking to take over the usb connection as OTG? Or?
