IMPORTANT: Information about Y-cable and SD-reader - GSM-Forum

xtc2clip · 07-01-2015, 18:20

Dear customers,

We have found that some SD-card readers may not be compatible with Y-cable method.
For example Transcend USB 3.0 reader doesn't work with One XL using Y-cable (clip is not detected).

However the same reader can be used on PC with no problem (phones are more specific and have more strict requirements than PCs)

Please test different SD-readers.

This works perfectly for all phones!

cheap ~ 2USD and In almost every country you can get

products

It needs a bit of flex cable, but can be removed neatly.

Many adapters may look the same, but be different inside, so many cheap copies nowadays

nobody told you that XTC2Clip comes with any cables.
The content is specified on the web-site: the clip itself with the smartcard and 2 spare flex cables.
We did not include the Y cable as most customers already have them.
