I've got an GT-P7500, and it will not read any USB Sticks.
Using the Samsung connection kit.
tried with 15 different USB sticks, all FAT32 formatted, all sizes 1-16gb.
A friend uses a 4gb stick in a GT-P7510, i tested that one, didn't work
Other things like usb mouse works, but not usb stick.
Anyone got any suggestions ?
Wonder if there is something wrong with it.
How do you know it isn't working? What directory are you looking at? What does the notification bar show? Which connector are you using? Is USB debugging on?
Also this is more a Q/A...
I'm hoping this thread is still alive because I am having the same problem. @ajnindlo I'm using the standard Samsung USB Connector with a 8gb usb stick. I've tried with USB Debugging on & off and I get the same message. "Damaged USB" and asked me to reformat.
I am using a Mac BUT I did format the stick as a ms-dos fat format.
Please help...
Thank you
PS. I know this is more of a q&a place, didn't know where else to post and didn't find any other with this problem but here. Please redirect to correct location if you know of a solution. Thank you

I had a 32 GB sd card and it also wouldn't be detected by my Galaxy Tab. But, I plugged it into my phone, plugged my phone into the computer, formatted the sd card and when I put in my Gtab, it worked.
I got my connection kit today but its not working at all.
Got 2 adaptors 1 for sd card and 1 for usb connection they both dont work.
Got no status bar message or anything.
Do I miss something here?

one catch that I have realized is that for proper identification of the USB Stick, the tablet must be in english language.
My friend had a hard time figuring out why his tablet won't show up any notification when a USB Stick was connected, whereas mine shows the "My Files" app showing the storage folder and all the contents of the stick, joking around I told him that was because my tablet was in english and his tablet was not.
Anyway, Astro file explorer doesn't work with USB Sticks, Use ES File Explorer instead and look in /mnt/ folder for usbdrive , there should be your content.
Nope still not working. No files found.
Feels like my device doesnt support usb host.
Is that possible?

Connect the usb stick, open ES File explorer and go to /mnt/usbdrive folder, if you can't find the folder (which is not on the sdcard) you need to configure ES File explorer to get out of the sdcard directory, the usbdrive folder is always present even if you don't have any usb drive connected
I had similiar problems with my 16GB P7510. It would only recognize any of my Sandisk sticks and a brand new PNY only at 30% of the time. The only stick it was reliable with was an ancient 256MB stick I had. I worked fine with my camera.
I ended up returning it for a 32GB P7510 and have not had any problems with any of the sticks. At the time I didn't think the tablet was defective but it appears it was.

I have exact the same issue, but it's strange, some SD has this issue, some don't.
"Damaged USB"
I found a trick, but it solved my problem only once: format SD card by a digital camera (Canon powershot) , SD was now recognized by Tab10.1
Putting some extra files on it by PC ... insert SD to Tab10.1 ... same issue again :crying:
Have tried several SD formats & sizes ... notting helps
Did someone knows a solution to solve this problem

Correct ... but after a second or third time connecting same SD , issue returns
Have tried this, waiting for a while does helps time to time ... so I guess it's maybe "memory" or "kernel" (system) related.
It seems we have the same TASK14 ROM + Pershoot's kernel.
Strange things.
I made the test by unroot my device and went back to factory stock ... it look like the issue is solved for 90% ... it appears when you disconnect and reconnect to fast after the 1st disconnection .
usb not recognised
Nothing happens when i plug (several) usb sticks. /mnt/usbdrive is empty.
Any idea?
charging Problem
You must Check that Your usb Debugging is On or Not as it creates problems and this will be stopping You device from Accepting Usb Sticks..
I found that FAT 'sdCard's would mount , but that NONE of my NTFS sticks would mount
All my sticks are NTFS , so that was unacceptable.
rooted 7500 and 6800
Installed 'Paragon NTFS&FHS', from the AndroidMarket and all files now popup in 'MyFiles' when I insert the usb with the adaptor
I have the Samsung Connection Kit containing as USB and a SD adapter. The USB adapter works fine, but the SD adapter doesn't work at all. All it does is starting the TuneIn Radio app when it is connected. I uninstalled the app and now connecting the adapter has no effect at all. Any suggestions?

I have a Samsung 42" plasma with USB port and it read my HDD and all my thumb-drives to play movies/Pics/musics. Never thought of trying with my Defy. Will certainly try this out today.
If the device supports mass storage host protocol then I dont see as to why it wont. My LCD recognises the defy without a problem.

well yes normal usb sicks do work. hmmm i will test it some more.
If this is possible it would be very useful. I could put a bookable ubuntu on my phone and boot pc's from that instead of carrying a pendrive everywhere.

I DID and it did not work
hmm.... maybe just a little disclaimer in case it needs to be said: when enabling USB mass storage, the only storage system that can be seen from the defy is the one on the micro SD card.
So, if you don't have one, i'm pretty sure nothing would happen even if you connect it properly

In that case, i think it's time to think about using another feature that came with the phone: warranty

There might be some issue in the device u are trying to connect to. Even in my pc i have usb issues. Some specific pen drives just randomly wont work on my pc. Just my 2 cents.
Hi All,
Having an issue. When I plug my HTC Desire (GSM) into my Macbook Pro with OSX Lion, the phone charges but that's it. My Mac doesn't see the phone as an external storage device and my phone doesn't give me any USB notifications so I cannot mount the disc. Even if I use an 'enable USB storage' widget/button, I still get no joy.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Thanks

Does the usb cable work?
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
does the sd card work with just a card reader ??? Instead of trying to mount through the phone?

searching on internet, seems it should work fine even with ur mac..are u sure u don't have any usb notification? try an other usb port, and with the original cable
Must be the cable, just moved from South Africa to Canada and must have damaged the cable somehow and not noticed!
If I use a card reader, the SD card works fine.
Must be the cable ...
Thanks

Lol... yep... There is an app you can use... but I can't remember what its called!!! Data cable something with a blue icon?? You can connect over wifi to your pc and move files etc with no cable, I'll try to find it
- It's called "software data cable"
I have tried transferring files via My Files app, File Expert, Astro, as well as connecting to PC via USB... it always gives an error and says unable to write! I have also tried to transfer from internal to external SD, still just says "copying failed". I've also tried via Kies.
The external SD is not locked as I used it in a previous phone, and the Note 2 can see the files on it (and play the music).
What's going on?!?
Uninstall and reinstall drivers worked for me, I don't know what happened I went they the same deal yesterday.

My card worked perfectly for a while, then became write protected for no apparent reason and I started getting the same error message you are getting. I had to copy the contents to my PC then reformat SD card in the phone. After that it worked normally again and I was able to copy my data back to the phone .

For anyone with a similar problem described above, please try another USB cable. In some systems, the white USB cable that comes with this phone doesn't send data to computers properly - it supplies power but has problems with data.
Many people have reported this. I just confirmed it on my system. I connected my Note 2 to my system with 5 other usb cords and my system found the device every time. When I used Samsung's white usb cable the computer didn't see the Note 2.
Either Samsung did something with this usb cable or they're sending a lot of defective usb cables out.

I am using a different cable and it detects the card, but as the others have said, it is "write protected" randomly.
I have even transferred all data to internal, formatted my external SD (via the Note 2 option), moved everything back over, it wrote files fine for a few days, and now it is auto-write-protected again. This is kind of ridiculous and is really a hassle especially seeing as most people use external cards for media.
Bump for a fix hopefully... We should not have to reformat every few days just to be able to use our cards.
Thanks for the clarification. I haven't experienced this issue (yet) and agree this is not related to the white Samsung USB cord..
I wonder if the phone has problems with certain cards. What type, brand and size memory card are you guys who are experiencing this problem using?
I'm able to transfer files to and from SD card but not while in recovery mode. Only some files show on SD card while in recovery mode, backups fail, etc.. any ideas?
Hey Guys,
last time i bought an usb otg cable. I want to use it with my Gnex but i mounted it and in the file manager nothing appears. I tried several tools(stickmount, paragon ntfs). All time the directory is empty. Must i format it with exfat or another file system. My hard drive is 500gb large, ntfs formated and needs a second usb cable for power input(but i dont think thats the problem)
Thanks
I never had any luck trying to connect my external 500GB HDD to the Gnex. I asked the same question but never got any confirmation of anyone successfully making this connection, hopefully you have better luck than me. Subscribed.
I doubt the GNex puts much power out of its usb. Probably not enough for a HDD.
The power is not the problem, the device is already "mounted" but in the directory there is showing nothing... I googled for an hour or so but found no solution, hopefully my new ordered usb stick can do this
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
One of the reason it's not showing up could be the formatting in your drive,
most drives are NTFS which isn't recognized by GNex (don't know about other android devices).
Try formatting in FAT and let us know what happens, it should hopefully work than.
As the title states, I'm having a problem with my AT&T G4 (H810) using USB OTG. Every time i connect the cable + SD card reader with sd card attached, the light on the SD card reader starts flashing, afterwards nothing happens. When I plug the same cable/reader combo into my old G2, it reads the drive within seconds. Has anyone else had this problem at all? Anyone know of a possible fix?
TIA...
Must be the AT&T variant then. My T-Mobile version of G4 works just fine and shows as external storage, works with sd card adapter and regular USB flash. Did you mount the storage once connected? Because I had to mount manually.

Where in the menus would i have to go for that? just Settings > storage? if so it's not popping up there at all
Quick bump...anybody? Bueller?
Here you go.
I plugged in the micro USB to regular USB cable with my 8GB flash drive and my G4 detected just fine. Please see images I attached.
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah im familiar with all that, the G2 has just about the same UI, and my whole setup works perfectly on that.
Check out my photos, first two is with it plugged into the G4, the blue status light is on, but it's just not recognizing the drive.
The last two show it plugged into the G2, working perfectly, recognizing the drive so I know it's at least not a hardware problem.
Problem solved
Hey just incase u didnt get this sorted, i had the same problem so i tried one of those usb adaptors that has a 5v power input and it worked perfectly. Winning
Do You have to install any app to mount the thumb drive or does G4 recognize it immediately?
Just installed Nexus Media Importer, ESFile Manager... Plug it in and nothing happens...
Anytime I've ever used USB OTG on an android device that supports it, it always works immediately with the stock file Explorer

Ok just read Jules2668's comment above. Might be the issue
Same issue with mine when I bought a new USB OTG. It can work without any problem with my wife's Sony Z2, but could not work with my G4. But the problem was solved after I re-formated the USB in FAT32 file type through my PC, although the original file type was also FAT32 when I bought it.
