SD Card Support - Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers

Greeting all. Has anyone been successful using a SD card reader with the Surface Duo? I posted this question on the Microsoft community and received the following reply:
"A USB-C accessory that indicates to Surface Duo that it needs more then 600mA of power or draws more than 600mA of power will not be enumerated by Surface Duo. Additionally, if you are using a USB-C hub that meets these power requirements, the hub will be disconnected if a device attached draws more than the maximum power declared by the hub."
Your thoughts?

Hey!
Yep I am currently using this one and it seems to be working fine.

Thank you for the reply! This is for a micro-SD only correct? I'm looking for a full-size SD card reader.

Dont think it will plug into the MICRO SD Slot of the Hermes
well....does your hermes have an sd slot? nice find but not for the hermes....at least that model.
they do even have a version called sdg-811
look here : http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
hehe, look at that carefully. it is still only for SD and miniSD, not for microSD. You can put only microSD card inside adapter to have your external memory still inside - for navigation program, but final product is still only miniSD. correct me, if I am wrong...

Looking at the ad, it implies the package includes a micro-sd conversion card.

nope it would look stupid and will probably break off. Think about it. Big SD to small MICRO SD....hmmmmm
I think that sinmae is correct - the product requires a SD or miniSD slot, but to compensate for the loss of the (mini)SD slot, it provides a microSD slot to put a microSD memory card into.
Such a shame, since I just sent my Garnin GPS 20SM back to Garmin yesterday for a RMA - it's not charging the phone properly. It seems silly to have to soft-reset my 8525 to have to get it to charge, when a USB cable connected to my PC works flawlessly every time. Oh well, here's hoping it was just a defective unit. *crosses my fingers*

@JoeVulture: most USB chargers wont work with the TyTn's due to the way HTC set up the mini-USB plug (there's loads of threads on it).
What a heap of crap! I will stick to my Rikaline bluetooth.

Micro SD Wifi - where to buy?

Hi,
I would like to ask, if somebody does know, if Micro SD WIFI exists and where to buy it. Is Micro SD same as Micro SDIO? I am really confused.

Spectec should be coming out with MicroSD WiFi shortly. You can preorder it on the Expansys website.
As for MicroSD and MicroSDIO, read here.

Does this mean that if I bought an "Micro SD WIFI" it will be able to use wifi on my Touch Dual?

I am sure i read somewhere the touch dual does not have SDIO support...
thanks
thanks for replies, I will wait for reliese of those cards. if would be good to have wifi on the touch dual.

But you could have a long wait.
The Spectec card has been on pre-order for a long time at expansys, and remember that it'll take the place of any memory card that you may have installed. And they're going to be expensive if/when they do appear.
It would be great if they have a wifi card with atleast 2gig also in it
Hoping it will not cost too much!
i dont why they dont just produce one that goes in the usb port then sits all along side of device so as not to stick out, and even replace the battery cover with it for extra strength! or has this been done?

Don't think the Dual (or any/many windows mobile devices) can act as a USB host though. It'd be a huge power draw though, maybe half your battery life?
It cant act as a usb host unfortunately. Its a long shot but i would personally hold off for a couple of months and see how this WIFI project unfolds before investing in something as expensive as these microsd wifi cards will be.
To answer an earlier comment about it being good if they started making micro sd wifi cards with built in memory, its been done before with normal sd cards, only trouble is that HTC devices dont like them!!
Spectec Mini SD WiFi Card, SDW-822
Hello all,
It is possible to buy it,
check this website
http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=125665
or
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=Spectec+Mini+SD+WiFi+Card,+SDW-822&btnG=Zoeken&meta=lr=lang_nl
If you buy and test let me know please
do you know the different about MINI SD and MICRO SD???
Mini SD are bigger than Micro SD, so you can't use Mini SD on the dual.
3s this for real?
what exactly do these micro sd cards do? 3m just curious..

Access SD card from Windows

With my Touch HD when i connect the phone via cable i can access the SD card like another drive. It doesnt seem to be possible with the Hero. Is it possible? Am i missing something? If its not its damn annoying to say the least!!
RTFM!
Pull down the notification screen and tap mount SD.
Call me old fashioned but i would have liked a real manual, not a PD bloody F! But thanks, saves a lot of hassle.

Bit hard to read the manual when its on the fecking SD card... which you're wanting to view by plugging the phone into the computer... We don't all have an SD card reader

Cannot the hero view pdf files?
actually, my hero came with CD. Manual was also there. BTW I used to have problems mounting sd card... checking box near USB debugging in menu>settings>applications>development solved my problems.
funny, this was covered in the printed Quick Start guide that came in the box with mine.....

External sd card

Since the dna does not have an sd card slot, would I be able to get a adapter for micro usb to usb and then use a flash drive for more space?
that really is a good idea

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

Engadget said USB OTG is not supported

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.

usb sd otg adapter

Hey guys I just paid for the nexus 6 32gb and also a case. I am the kind of smartphone user that when I mod I want to have my zips/files on an external sd card. Since the nexus 6 doesnt have an external sd card slot. Any recommendations for a usb sd otg adapters?
I think any generic one will work. I was interested in them as well and I found this youtube video reviewing one:
http://youtu.be/dxezcJ4WTf0
I think as long as the phone supports USB OTG they'll all work fine.
You mentioned modding and I assume that means flashing in recovery? I'm not sure if recovery will be able to pick up the USB OTG Card reader though.

I have used twrp before on my m8 and I recall it had an option to use the otg. The twrp build for nexus doesnt have this?
Well I guess theres no reason to suspect it won't be available for the Nexus. Having said that, I've also only just ordered the N6 and its been a while since I've flashed anything.

Yeah I am coming from the turbo...
TWRP on Nexus 6 has USB OTG support. I backup and restore directly from it.
I like the Meevo sd drive. No cable required, plugs in directly to the usb port

I have the same one. Its solid and very reasonably priced.
I got a PNY 16 gig at Best Buy for $9 on clearance. Works great for backups with twrp.

I keep looking at this one.
I bought the Lexar M20 and would not recommend it as the connection to my N6 is very loose and I have to use a USB OTG cable with it.

I have just a generic otg cable but my Nexus 6 doesn't pick it up with any apps or in twrp. I have a 128GB PNY stick that I'm trying to use it with. Can anyone recommend a cable or adapter that will work with it?

I too have a generic and it works fine. Try this for twrp. Plug in the otg before u shut it off and then reboot to twrp. Should work ifbit doesn't while in twrp reboot back into recovery and then it should recognize it.

I've tried all different variations. Nothing works. It never reads it. It's no biggie. It was a little more than a dollar on Amazon so it's no loss. I just wanna get one to put the 128GB to use. I loaded it up with movies & such but haven't been able to use it.

Looks good but I don't have a 128GB card. I have a flash drive. Maybe that's the problem? The otg cable I have has the micro usb on one end for the phone & the female usb on the other end. Does the phone only support cards & adapters?
