I'm very new to all of this and am not sure what I am doing wrong. I can't get my USB hosting to work. I have run USB Hosting Diagnostics and have included screen shots of what it says. If I'm reading it right, it is supported, but the Android API (Cyanogenmod 10.0?) isn't recognizing it. How do I fix this, is it a faulty cable or a software issue?

as you are using cyanogen mod, it does not include any app to automatically mount the usb otg device. So the best way to overcome this is to install an app like stick mount from the play store, which can automatically mount your usb device,. Also note that NTFS file system is not fully supported, so make sure that the device you are trying to connect has a fat32 file system...

I tried stick mount and it also didn't work. I would like to be able to use a thumb drive, but the main purpose is to connect my OBD 2 USB to the Torque Pro app. I've tried to connect a mouse, a thumb drive, and the OBD 2 adapter. I've tried using StickMount and USB OTG Helper. Nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Hey there, sorry for the late reply,, I have installed AOKP JB MR3 on my device and all works well. I tried using mouse and a USB stick today, and it works well.
So first make sure that the OTG adapter is not faulty (try using it on some other device).
If the OTG adapter is okay, try changing your ROM. Some builds of CM ROM have bugs some time, especially if you are using a nightly release (Just backup everything and flash the latest official AOKP ROM. See if it works there).
Try changing the kernel if you are not in the mood (read feeling too lazy) to change ROMs. Your current kernel dev might not have implemented the USB Host module properly and this can also result in a non-functional OTG device.

oke a couple of questions,sins im getting the GN this Saturday.
i know that USB OTG is disabled by default unless you get a kernel that turns on the option.
but is the USB OTG also working with USB flash drives and external HHD's(when unlocked/turned on) if so, whats the best kernel/mod i should use. and i dont care if i need to command mount it in the terminal app.
second question,
there was a report on ICS that ICS will have build in screenshot buton combo or some sort.
is it really there? does it work by default,or is it yet another kenrel option?
and does any one have an example screenshot?
nobody?isnt there anyone that can answer it

USB OTG will be enabled with an update, this has been confirmed on g+ by a googler. In the meantime I use the latest MCR rom from modaco.com and USB OTG works fine

This is probably less about USB OTG host mode as a feature and more about how ICS handles auto-mounting storage attached to it hence the "host mode experience" isn't 100% yet, even though host mode and HID work fine with the right kernel.
I managed to get OTG cable with NTFS drive working with Galaxy Nexus. Since I saw some people asking for it with no definite answer, I want to write a sort guide describing how I did it.
This is no way a definite catch-all guide, just from my experience.
[What do you need]
USB OTG Cable
USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG: Market
Faux123's kernel v11_r3: XDA
Rooted Galaxy Nexus (ofc)
A NTFS USB drive
[How to do it]
That's about it. Once you get all of them in your phone, it's only the matter of plug your NTFS USB drive in, start UMB MSW OTG, you should see your hard drive with a Mount button. Tap on Mount then specify a folder for it to mount to (I create an usb folder in /sdcard/) then you're gtg.
Have fun

Any thoughts about USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG vs StickMount (https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount)?
I don't use NTFS for anything, but vfat (FAT32) seems to work great with just root (stock kernel)
USB Mass Storage Watcher seems a little buggy on the Nexus. Things like this:
http://i.imgur.com/uXzdw.png
(Not only is the screen layout all messed up, it's actually not connected to anything!)
Yes the USB Mass Storage Watcher is very buggy, but it's the only application (so far) can mount NTFS without resorting to shell script. Personally I use USB MSW OTG for NTFS drive, and Stickmount for Fat32 thumbstick.
btw the USB Mass Storage Watcher was design for tablet layout lol
Yeah I got it to mount but it didn't seem to work. My NTFS drive (windows 7 installation files) showed up blank in AndroZIP.
Managed to plug in 4 means of memory using this
500GB external
32GB x2
4GB flash drive

How can I port this driver to my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro equipped with Android 2.3 ?
Or where can I download such a driver?
My smartphone has USB OTG support, but currently I'm only able to connect mouses and keyboards.
My 1tb western digital USB hard drive works without a hitch using a 50cent otg cable from ebay. No apps needed. It just mount automatically and works flawlessly
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I Have:
Cyanogenmod 7.1 rom
Kernel: 2.6.37 cyanogen 7.x Kernel Patched with USB Host (from here)
Desire GSM phone
OTG cable
USB Y cable (to male and one female) - picture in attachment
And two problems!
The FIRST problem
This kernel enable host mode, when load command in terminal.
I typed command but, I have error:

}
I searching dev/bock but there is no sda1 or sdxx..
The SECOND problem
Maybe I have problem with power supply?
I tried to attach in computer port, usb flash drive lighting and copmuter recognize and open..
And I tried to attach to usb charger and nothing happen. Flash doesn't light...
Any help please!
This looks to me as if you connected the cable wrong... usually the male connector with the two cables coming out is the one for data and the other one is the one for the power.
Try connecting your USB to Micro USB cable to the other male connector...
To be sure the cable is working correctly, try connecting the drive via your y-cable to a computer. That way it's easier to find out wether you are using the correct plugs. Also in this case, don't plug in the second male cable, b/c the computer USB port should already give you enough power.
Finaly works!
Yes, you were right. I reverse usb male connection devices.
I loaded kernels again, but there is no sda in block folder.
So I used USB host controller app, and mount usb from here and works.
Picture in attachment.
But I don't know where is the path to my sda?
On this picture says sda4?
I tried this
HTML:
mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda4 /mnt/sdcard/mnt/
but have same error - no such file or directory
Ok, the first question sloved (almost)
Another question:
Where I can get power supply, maybe usb battery to give a power to flash drive?
I don't want a adapter or charger, I need portable usb power battery for traveling.
Anybody have idea where I get this?
Hi,
I have StickMount app to mount USB drives to my flo.
But I have WD Elements 2,5" 1TB USB 3 NTFS disk. When I connect it, it just flashes but is not mounted.
Can someone tell me how can I mount it?
If I need to use other kernel, then please point me to some good
But I need kernel with kexec-hardboot patch for MultiRom.
Thank you.

Are you using a powered USB hub? The Nexus probably doesn't put out enough juice to power a hard drive.

It is possible...
I use only ordinary OTG cable...
So I will try to search some powered OTG cable...
Thank you again @meekrawb

poor nexus 7 cannot provide that amount of juice for ext HDs
I have the same HDD and it works fine. I installed the ElementalX kernel, which provides NTFS support, and used Paragon NTFS to mount the HDD (available on the play store). I have a different problem myself: As soon as the device is locked, whatever is being streamed/accessed from the HDD is no longer accessible and the HDD has to be disconnected, reconnected and remounted.
Any way to disable Samsung's 'cable detection' feature? USB tethering doesn't work because device doesn't recognize cable. I'm using original one and tried new and older cables also. I've had similar problems with another Samsung devices before and it's pretty annoying. WIFI is too slow and bluetooth even slower compared to USB so I don't like using them. Device just keeps telling use original cable and starts charging slowly.
Also the usb c port is cleaned, tried restarting device several times, tried all usb ports of my pc. I'm using Windows 10 pro. All drivers are updated and I have newest Samsung drivers.
Turn on Developer options and try setting it up there. No blocked or disabled Samsung system apps, right?

Tried that but it doesn't work. Also Windows is saying it can't recognize usb-device. I have disabled YouTube only because I use another app for that.

Hit take no action in the Windows connect popup*. Then go to Disk Management and punch scan for new devices. Access the drive in that window and do the transfers there. Command line can also be used to access Disk Management etc.
Try rolling back or updating the driver. Installing the latest version of SmartSwitch on Windows should load the correct driver.
*you must authorize the connection first on the Android via a popup window that should appear after being connected.
Not working. Reinstalled all usb drivers including Samsung ones. Smartswitch is not working because Windows can't recognize this device at all. Maybe I just reinstall Windows some day and try if it works then. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome.
Try another port and cable.
Reboot, always reboot Windows.
Check Event Viewer for error messages.
For Windows to recognize the device you sometimes need to use the scan for new devices command in Disk Management. The solution is likely simple and right in front of you.
Play with it... fun times.
