[nightkids7089]

hi all, tried using the search function but never found any topics on this.
sorry if someone asked about this before.

wiish to get a 64GB USB OTG for my note edge, seems like there are a few brands in the market, any advice on which one is the better ones?

actually me is looking at sandisk but wish to gather some advice before purchases.
and can 64GB OTG support finely with my Edge?

I'm using sandisk otg on my galaxy note,so far so good,no problem at all.

I got a 32g Sandisk. Working fine for me with only 1 issue.

If you have a thick handphone casing or a casing with a small cut-out, it might prevent you from pushing the connector fully into the handphone micro usb port. The connector might not be long enough and you have to remove the casing to properly insert the otg drive.

Quite troublesome.

Hope this helps.

i see...can i conclude that if a usb cable can fit in the usb slot nicely and fully, it won't have any issue for the usb otg ?

and can i play media directly when the otg is plugged in ?

thank you

Any OTG cable with a micro USB connector at one end and a full sized USB connector at the other end will do. I've tried it. It works and you can play back any file from the thumb drive.

The issue with the phone cover is easily resolved by taking off the cover before plugging the cable in. In any case, most of the micro USB connectors are quite slim and should fit into the cut out of the cover for the micro USB port on the phone.

Sorry to hear that, bro. I got way around that you might want to consider. I got one of those micro-USB to USB adapter that have a long enough connector. I managed to used it without taking cover off. It is now attached to my Sandisk USB drive all the time. Link to sample

Also, I just saw this online.

SanDisk flash drive uses your Android phone or tablet's micro-USB port to transfer files

According to Sandisk, they have provided a longer micro-USB connector on the new dual USB drive 3.0.

Thank you bro blurtaurus for the info.

Luckily i have bought an otg usb cable last nite as well....to connect my Edge to PS3 controller to play games on PS1 emulators

i tink the cable can be use to connect the usb otg also....but sim lai buey song loh...seems to defeat the purpose of getting the usb loh

damn sandisk for making such short connector....
but i still love my Ringke Flex cover


by the way, using a usb otg cable, can it be connected to flash drive as well?
