Im having some strange problems connecting my SD card to my SGS3.
Bought a USB OTG cable from ebay 2 weeks ago (this one) and also an SD card reader to plug into it (this one). The phone found the SD card when plugged in and i could browse files from the card fine. a file browser would pop up instantly and allow me to navigate the card. Then it literally stopped working a few days later.
I thought it was the card reader so i plugged a USB mouse into the cable and conntected to my phone and it worked fine, meaning it wasnt the cable. I then plugged the card reader into my PC and it didnt find it, so i thought the card reader might be damaged, and went and bought a new one (this one), but when i plug it into my USB cable, and then into the phone,it still says "USB connector connected" (as shown in this image), but it doesnt launch the file browser, nor can i find the card anywhere in the file system.
Ive turned off USB Debugging from Developer options, but cant for the life of me find out why my SD card cant be read by my phone!
To summarise:
USB OTG cable works fine as ive plugged a mouse into it.
SD Card reader works fine as ive pluuged it into PC with SD card in and i can view files
SD card wont connect to my phone via USB OTG cable
