Card Reader?

I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to plugin a USB card reader into the mini-USB plug, so I could for instance, use it to transfer pictures from my digital camera etc.
Longshot maybe, but does anyone know if it's possible?

No it's not. You need a usb host device, which is typically a pc, to control usb slaves.
Wizard is not enabled to act as a usb host.

Oh well, worth an ask
What about some sort of convertor/adaptor for the mini SD slot?

Very slow transferring files to storage card

Transferring a 350mb avi to the storage card with the phone connected by mini usb takes about 14-15 minutes. This seems excessive. Is there any way to speed things up?
Shame that the sd micro card wasn't supplied with an adapter so I could just plug it in to my PC card reader.

Are you using ActiveSync connection? You should change the setting from that to making it a Disk Drive type connection.

SGS3 and OTG (external HDD and card reader simultaneously)

So I am going to Africa in October and don't want to bring my laptop. My ideal plan is to get an OTG adaptor, USB hub connected to a card reader and external HDD, and use a file transfer program to copy from card to HDD.
Is this possible? If so, what do I need to look at buying?

Usb C hub

I am wondering whether anyone has connected a USB 3.0 hub to the Axon 7.
The reason I ask is that I am going on a trip soon and want to back up my camera SD card each day to a USB stick. I don't want to take a laptop. What I'd like to do is connect a USB card reader / hub to the phone to copy files from the SD card to the USB stick at USB 3 speeds. Devices like the Ravpower wd03 only do usb 2, which will take ages per file.
Will this work? Will I need a USB 3 otg?

Update - USB Hub Works - but.....
OK, so I took the plunge and bought an Aukey USB C to USB 3 adaptor and a USB hub - one of these. I did it that was as I don't have other USB C devices.
The USB hub works fine with USB memory sticks. Each time i insert it registers a new USB OTG drive and I can happily copy to and from it (and more than one
But every time I insert an SD card into the SD reader, the Axon 7 gives me an error "Unsupported USB Drive: This device doesn't support thus USB drive. Touch to set up in a supported format". When I try to format the card, it fails.
Any ideas?

Update 2
I should add that:
1. The same problem occurs even if I use the MicroSD card I use in the phone - so it is not a formatting issue.
2. I also have a Note 5. If I connect the USB hub to that via a USB OTG, the Note 5 can happily read the SD Card.
3. The SD slot USB Hub works fine when when plugged into a PC.
Do I need an additional USB OTG? Will that conflict with the phone?

Update 3!!!
This is getting ridiculous but I want it to work.
So I tried plugging a SD Card reader into the USB hub. Lo and behold it works!!!! I wonder whether the issue is just that the SD card reader in the hub is missing something which allows the Axon to read the SD card.
That was only USB 2 - I am going to invest in a USB 3 SD card reader (my camera produces large files!) So I am going to invest in a small USB card reader and will report back.

Update 4
So the card reader has arrived as has my USB 3 stick. Now I can copy all the files from the SD Card to the USB Stick.
The only issue is that Dropbox scans the cards and starts trying to upload them as Camera uploads so I've had to kill the process.
The other issue is that my file manager (File Manager HD) doesn;t allow copying and I have to use the System file Manager, which is awful. Am going to work on that process over the weekend. Any suggestions gratefully received on that front!!!

Rubbish. Rubbish. Rubbish
The connection just isn't stable enough. The phone keeps saying that the card(s) keeping g being disconnected / removed. There is nothing wrong with the hub or either the USB stick or the sync card / card reader.
Last chance - I will add a power supply to the USB hub. If that doesn't work I'm afraid my views will be confirmed - this is a great phone with a great DAC but other than that it is just a bit rubbish and cheap for a reason, with a manufacturer which doesn't want to develop for it. I'm the EU least.

Usb c card reader

Anyone know if they work on the oneplus? I'm looking at getting a oneplus and uploading things on a SD card reader and using a SD card reader when I'm on the plane rides

I don't own a Type-C card reader but I do use a Type-C OTG cable with my regular USB card reader and that works flawlessly so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Only thing is, from what I've experienced, not properly ejecting the card reader "corrupts" the micro SD card even though I can actually transfer files into it from my computer.

It would need to be via an OTG cable as most don't have that function built into the card reader.
