Card reader

[triggertrav]

So I bought this card reader I plug into my phone that I thought would be slick to review trail cam pics while in the field.   Turns out it is great at deleting pics in the field.  Plug it in and boom.  The file is empty.  

 

So anyone else use one that works that they would recommend?

I have used several on my computers.  Never on a phone.  Sorry.  

I wonder if the data isn't still there, except the phone can't see it due to compatibiliy issues?

Have one for Apple products, works great and have had no problems.

At the time I couldn't find anything for android products, so i can not help.

What phone?

[triggertrav]

If you find one that works well let us know, please.  

Same phone it have at this time.

have you given the camera time to imprint to the card? if on dosent shut off the camera prior to removing card theh card can read file empty, the more pics the more time the camre camera needs, usually only about 15 secs or so.

i have never had an issue with losing images in the past when plugging card into computer or point and shoot camera.

 

only issues have been when using my phone.  new reader is suppose to show up today, so hopefully by about 330 i will know if it works

Lost another 300 + pics.   Sent the reader back again and will start carrying the point and shoot camera again. 

 

Dang

Which card readers have you had? Brand name if possible.

My boss at work just pick one up at Scheels, seemed to work well with his phone (not sure of the make) as well as mine galaxy 6.  He didn't have the package and couldn't remember the name, it is red, it can take standard sd, micro, as well as a USB port.

Cost $29, I guess.

Also on his phone, he had to do some searching to find which file it connected to.

On mine, it went to the DCMI file.

I have used one on an Ipad before that works well I will have to figure out what brand it is.

the two i returned were

1. Saicoo $9.99

2. Transcend $9.99

 

might have to go to the verizon store and see if it is something with my phone, but sick of deleting pics.
