I just ordered one of these from vzw for $20. So, what are some of the things these forum readers are doing with their's?

I am using mine for reading memory cards and USB drives, works great!
Also plug my Sony camera into it and it instantly uploads my pics.
I use mine to avoid Kies and the inability to just access my 16gig as a USB drive. I drag what I need to my internal storage and be done with it. Nice.
I use it to drag files to the Tab when I'm not using File Share FTP sharing.
Using it with this so I don't have to get a SD/micro-SD adapter.

Mine Tab doesnt work with the USB adapter at all, it doesn't see anything I put into USB connection. ( 4 GB flash thumb stick, external hard drive etc...) Do you have to set up something in the settings? On my Asus Transformer the keypad dock read even 750 GB external hard drive via USB. Is my connector faulty?

I don't get it... How does this relate to the Tab? Doesn't the Sammy dongle thingy just accept USB? I have one of those small USB readers that accepts full SD cards, but with an SD card adapter which you slip your Micro SD card into, it works just fine. Not sure what this device you mention here does for you.
EDIT: OK, I get it. The reader in your link takes just the microSD card and not a regular SD card where you would need an adapter. Personally, I have this little oval USB SD reader that has caps on both ends. Very small. I just leave an SD to microSD adapter in it, and just plug it in and slide in my microSD. No little cable. I could also just leave an adapter in my laptop, as it has a built in SD card slot... But, yeah, for the Sammy side of things, my little reader should be just fine.
I just received my USB adapter (ordered from Amazon for ~$17) and use it exclusively to plug in a microSD USB adapter.

Which ROM are you running? At least as of 2-3 weeks ago, Bonsai completely broke USB adapter functionality.
Has anyone tried a usb female to female adapter/gender changer. This way we could just use the usb cable thats included and the $3-4 adapter rather than using the $20 adapter?
Along with SD readers and thumb drives and cameras, I also use it for my YubiKey.

I wonder if anyone here has an adapter to test. Would save some of us a few bucks
That won't work!
Data Connector Pinout
You have to have the 20k ohm between pins 13 and 15. This tells the Tab to go into OTG host mode.
EDIT:
Oh and I am using my adapter for this: DSLR Controller
I've been using mine to access my Western Digital "My Passport Elite" 320GB hard drive via a powered USB hub. I also use it to access a couple of thumb drives.
I use it to play SNES and Playstation games via emulators, using my xbox 360 controller.
I've read a lot that you have to order the USB adapter. Mine was included?
But the original Samsung seals was broken 2 times and the third was not. So I guess they included it afterwards?

From where you bought it and which model?

No, it won't work. It requires specific resistors to be present on dock connector pins not brough out to the USB side of the data/charging cable.
Ok so I hate the fact that the nexus 7 doesnt have an sd slot. So I figured I would use the otg cable with a card reader but that is just too much stuff hanging off the tablet. So, I figure I would try something else. This is what I have and need help with. I have a bare micro usb and a bare micro sd card slot. Now i just need to know what pins to solder together.
Look at this
Has anyone used a otg micro usb cardreader? Like this one. Thinking of getting a note 5 and using this if i need too.

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.

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.
