to plugin usb flash drive to my galaxy nexus. When i plug it, nothing happens. I read that it's supported but how to get to the contents of the flash drive?
The USB host feature is enabled in the stock ROM, however it will not automatically mount a filesystem. You need to use an app like StickMount (requires a rooted device), which will automatically mount the filesystem on the flash drive so you can access the files. Hope this helps!
thanks, i'll have root my phone now
I have a 128gb USB stick - pre-formatted as FAT32 - which works fine in any PC. However when plugged into the Note II via OTG cable, it comes up as 'damaged USB storage' & I can't access it.
I have seen reference to a workaround on other devices so that devices can correctly recognise the storage. Has anyone managed to find a fix on the Note II?

you said that is working...so i think that can be the 16gb sdcard that can be corrupted or damaged i think so...also try installing original software
I have a strange request, it has happened that after removing a usb drive, the phone no longer recognizes photos and music stored to sdcard?
With es file manager I see the files, but there isn't in galley or music
Anyone can help me??

Follow up on USB Host
I too am using an HTC One X running 4.1.1
I've got an OTG cable and have tried connecting a thumb drive and card reader. Both work. The drives are visible and accessible on the phone. That's USB storage which isn't the same as USB Host, but it shows that the port is active.
I can plug in the dongle for a wifi mouse, it too is recognised and I'm able to use the mouse to navigate around on the phone. This, as far as I understand, is actually USB Host in action.
The problem arises when I try to connect a DSLR and use a camera controller app like Helicon Remote or DSLR Dashboard. The app doesn't recognise that the camera is connected.
What's the difference between the wifi mouse and the camera?
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
In fact, there is a problem that any USB storage device on the phone creates the following folder structure:
/ storage / usb / Android / data / com.htc.album / .thumbnails /
Then create multiple copies, can be found in the internal memory, same-path, including folders that contain thumbnails, but empty.
So because of these being used constantly sticks, so when the capture traces of the settings, then any writes to the phone to choose from, but it can not happen, but the capture button will be disabled, but only while again not I step into the menu.
The above mentioned directories erased because the phone reboot always create them again.
If the phone was not rebooted since I've used it and the flash drive has been physically removed it, then if I connect again, it appears no file until you restart the phone.

Got any solution for this??
When I connect a USB device to my rooted N7 via OTG cable, QuickMount/StickMount say "successfully mounted" but the device doesn't show up in my explorer (ES File Manager). I tried two different sticks (both formatted in FAT32). One stick has a light which turns on when connecting to the N7. A mouse/keyboard is also working, so I would say the cable is working.
What can I do?
if you are rooted, try Stick Mount. It is the only way I can mint b sticks on my nexus 7.
I don't know about quickmount, but stickmount is mount under folder name USB OTG not on separate drive.
After updated my Note10+ (Exynos) to Android 10 and One UI 2.0, I found one serious problem:
Problem: When I inserted Samsung USB-C to USB-A adapter to the phone, then attach a USB drive (which work fine on the same phone when running Android 9, and the device was checked to make sure its functioning), Note10+ fail to auto-mount the USB drive. There are no response, and Samsung My Files app do not recognize the USB drive
Workaround: To make it work, I have to install Sandisk Memory Zone app from Google Play. after that, when I inserted the USB drive, Sandisk app detect the drive and I can transfer file using Sandisk app as usual. However, Samsung stock My Files app still do not show the USB drive as it should be
Another work around is to mount the USB drive with Paragon NTFS eFAT/NTFS for Android, then browse or transfer file with Total COmmander file manager. Still, Samsung My Files app do not show the mounted USB drive at all
I think there must be a bug with Samsung firmware or My Files aapp that need to be fixed. I have reported this to Samsung Support staff over the live chat
Any friend experience the same problem? Or it is just me?
I have always had issues with the native file managers from samsung, exactly Those you are here posting, I use xplore, I first used it from my Symbian days, when migrated to android samsung devices, it was natural for me to use xplore, zero problems, and it is really straight forward to use and much more flexible
After testing many times, more workaround solution is here. It is repeatable
1. If I restart Note10+ without USB drive attached, and then insert USB drive via Samsung USB-C to USB-A adapter (it came with Note 9), the USB drive will not be detected
2. To get USB drive detected and work, I have to insert the USB drive, then reboot. After reboot completed, Note10+ will detect the USB drive, and the drive will show up in Samsung stock My Files app. Manage files can be done. When I inserted and reinsert the USB drive, it will still work fine.
2. But if I start Sandisk Memory Zone app, it will detect USB drive, and file management can be done via Sandisk app built it file manager. But in this case, Samsung stock My files app will stop detecting the USB drive until reboot with USB drive inserted
Before upgraded to Android 10, Note10+ running Android 9 will hot swap and always detect the USB drive. Also, Samsung stock My files app and Sandisk Memory Zone will work without problem simultaneously
I think this is a bug that need to be fixed by either Samsung or Google

Native USB support seems to be working fine on my N975U from T-Mobile(USA).
Both using a native type-c flash drive and also using the adapter that came with the phone.
