otg question

[dbrons]

Just got a s2 9.7 and really like it. But I'm trying to get the otg to work with a microsd card that I will use in my camera. I realize I can just put the card in the microsd slot but I will have another card in there and I read that otg cable works.

I tried the otg cable with a card reader inserted in it and that doesn't work. Neither did a microsd reader with microusb connector that I got. I then tried a pen drive I had laying around and that works fine in the otg cable.

So does anyone know if I can get the s2 to recognize a microsd card via otg?

thanks, Dave

You need to get new OTG I guess.

thanks but it works fine with flashdrive, just not with card reader. I'm going to look for a wired keyboard or mouse and try them...
but if anyone is able to run a card reader via otg I'd love to hear which one.

I just used a Targus high speed SD SDHC MMC card reader writer to read a 32 MB SD card from one of my cameras and it worked. I have 2 OTG cables, one works, one doesn't. However, both work with my thumb drives. There is no branding info or marks on the cables, I think they both came from Amazon. The one that worked is a straight 3 in cable. The other is L shaped at the micro sub connector end, I think it is an older cable. HTH.

thanks I'll see if I can get those. And yes, it's that L shaped one that I have.

Ok, I wanted to post back and say thanks cfbush2000 , I was able to get OTG working with a card reader. I bought the targus reader for $4.99 but I do think the difference was in the OTG cable, The right angle one I had did not work so I found this one, highly rated, on Amazon:
