I had a Monoprice microSD to Android OTG (microUSB) adapter, and it worked great. Unfortunately, after a drop to the floor it seems to have been lost somewhere in my room in the darkest recesses never to be seen again.
So I went online on Amazon and ordered the latest... "Dash Micro". And it's a dandy little thing. Comes with a silicon jacket/carrier that makes it key-chain-able, the adapter is even smaller, and even comes with a full-size-USB adapter so it can be plugged into a PC.
Just got it in my hand. Plugged in my 64GB SanDisk... Won't read. After a bit of fiddling, realized that my Android OTG is limited to 32GB. (ARGH!)
Found my backup 32GB microSD card, plugged that in. Worked for 5 minutes. Backed up about 1/3 of my files. Then my phone rebooted. WTF? After that the plug was useless. Insists that the device is unreadable. WTF?
Plugged it to my Nexus 7, about the most compatible, gold standard in Android. It's a genuine Nexus device. Got "This USB device is not compatible" even as it seem to see it as a USB storage, but can't read the contents.
WTF indeed. Rebooted both device multiple times. No joy. Tried multiple times. No joy.
This thing is going back to Amazon. Should have just bought the Monoprice adapter again. Wasted a whole week.
