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

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.
ya i have the same problem...im using 4.2.2 custom ....and when i use my otg cable n plug my usb it works the 1st time then if i disconnect the connect it back or use another usb it wont work unless i restart my phone....not sure why its not working....but it works for samsung note 3 i tested on my friends phone...

The problem is more about my PC than the Desire as it works as normal on other PCs but not on mine.
When I plug in my Desire it asks me to mount the USB Storage and when I accept the Device shows as "Removable Disk (F" opening it results in "Please insert a Disk into...".
Under Device Manager it shows as "Portable Device" and under "Disk drives".
I uninstalled every device with Android in it and then rebooted my PC and reconnected my phone but still no luck, I also tried installing the newer HTC USB drivers (didn't work) and then uninstalling them (didn't help). It must be because of some driver but I have no clue how to fix it.
Does someone know?
I have the SDK, the unrevoked HBOOT Drivers, the HTC USB Drivers (from the Sync app) and Windows told me all the USB Mass storage drivers got installed and should be working.
//Edit:
When I mount the USB storage, got to the drive in the Device Manager and select populate in the properties and then go to the Disk Management I see the Disk but it's labled as RAW. When I then re-format it, it actually works until I unmount it and then re-mount which presents me again with my previous problem.
If you just want mount the USB storage, you no need to install other software or SDK.
I think that is your pc's problem, try check your pc.
Are you using the original micro usb cable from HTC or a dodgy cable you bought really cheap? There are a lot of bad cables around.
It could also be that your SD card is about to die.

@ First line he say it works as normal on other PCs but not on mine
so maybe not cable problem
To mount the Desire's SD Card in storage mode you don't need any drivers than the ones came with the OS - tested on XP, Vista, Seven and Ubuntu - it's like sticking in an USB pendrive / external HDD.
Did you tried a different USB port?
Also try set USB debugging mode on (Settings\Application\Developement)
Original cable; SD card mounts fine when taken out and used with an external reader; tried other ports; no problems on other PCs; Debugging on or off doesn't help
I know it's my PC but I don't know why and how to fix it. I also know that it installs everything automatically and I don't need to install any other drivers but one that is installed, seems to break everything.
What about USB extensions? Do you use this @ your PC? How many other USB Devices are connected to your PC? Maybe your phone doesnt get enough voltage via USB. I know both problems from my personal experience.
So first, if you use extension cable, remove it and connect your micro USB cable directly to the board.
Second, try to remove 1 or 2 other devices plugged in via USB (scanner, printer, cardreader[!], webcam, for testing purposes even mouse or keyboard)
Maybe this fixes your issues.
No extension cable
I doubt the power being the problem as my Galaxy S II had no issue and as stated above I could kind of get it to work but not as it should have worked.
You DOUBT the power beeing the problem, or you tried and can EXCLUDE this possibility?
Considering what I've already tried (as detailed in previous posts) I think I can exclude the power being the issue.
I've also synced and charged an SGS2, an iPod touch and an iPad from the same plug without any issues.
I tried so many things in the device manager... nothing worked...
Once I could get it to mount correctly but only until I unmounted once, after that it would go right back to my problem.
I really have no clue on how I could get this to work again
I give up... I even restored Windows 7 to a previous state and it did not help.
Made some progress and can reproducably access the SD card but sadly only until I unmount and afterwards I have to run through the procedure again to get access:
I had an USB Harddrive formatted as NTFS through NTFS-3G on my mac and my Windows 7 PC also wanted to format it when I plugged it in and it showed up as RAW in Computer Management. I then remembered chkdsk did a chkdsk I: /f and it worked again even after a clean eject and remount.
I then tried this on my Desire as the symptoms seemed the same or at least related. Here is my console output:
C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk H: /F
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) y
Volume dismounted. All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.

After this, Windows showed that it mounted DESIRE correctly and asked me what I'd like to do with it and I could browse the card and do whatever I wanted.
But this isn't ideal behaviour and I'd love it if my Desire would just show up as normal and work normally when I connect it to my PC. Does this give a clue on where the problem might be?
Hello
I had a simular problem
I could mount the sd on my desktop but not on my laptop.
So apparently it was not a cable problem...
But finnally I use the original cable and now it mounts on both computer.
Hope this helps

I used the original cable.
Bought an USB OTG cable few weeks ago and it just arrived today.
When connected to the GS3 I have (T999V), it says "security policy use of external SD card".
When I go into MYfile app and search for USB OTG, nothing appeared (a flash drive is attached with text documents and other various files)
The question, isn't the Galaxy S3 suppose to recognize this USB OTG? and there's no need to install any app to help it recognize it.
Running Team Sonic R3 Custom ROM right now.
Can anyone help me on this problem?
Because the USB OTG is one the the features that intrigued me buying the GS3!
My usb otg cable is on the way from China, so don't have hands on experience. But in ES file manager, if you navigate to /mnt/ folder you can see provision to support upto 6 usb drives as you can see in the screenshot. So try navigating to /mnt and see if you can access your usb drives from there.

Well, it is not completely unusable for me.
After I install the "USB Mass storage watcher" from the play store and mount the OTG it became usuable.
But sometimes it crashes. Also, isn't the device itself already compatible with the OTG itself? Why should I need to install the app in order from me to use the OTG? (these are the two main question here).
Also, the app isn't fully stable, it crashes sometimes and it is very hard to use. (everytime you unplug your USB device you have to mount it again)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
p.s: I have tried to look in the ES file Manager and I did see 6 USB dirve and 1 usbOTG option. But before I use the app to mount the OTG device on my phone none of the options works. When I mount the device through the program, I can browse the files on my USB drive in the "usbOTG" option.

Mine works fine I bought a $3 otg cable from Amazon i have the t-mobile S3 stock rooted

Hello everybody,
I have the following problem appearing recently:
Whenever I connect a USB stick through OTG cable to my Galaxy Note II I always receive the message “USB Storage damaged. It may need reformatting” in the status bar, no matter which stick or other mass storage device I'm using. On my PC, the files are perfectly visible.
I didn't tamper nor change anything on my phone, it's been running the original Samsung ROM, rooted but otherwise unchanged, for the last six months.
Could any of you help? I explored several threads with reference to the same error message on other Android devices here and in other Android forums but none of them matched this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have you tried smaller sized USB sticks?
Because my 1 terabyte SeaGate hard drive works but turns off because it needs more power.

Yes, I tried with a 1GB and a 4GB sticks that worked quite well on OTG last week.
Both these sticks still work well on my PC.

No problem helping :highfive:
Well, I had no problems with USB OTG yet (except the 1 tb)
I suggest you factory reset or change the OTG cable.

Factory reset is a bit radical.
Does anyone else have an idea?

Hi I had the same problem. I found the solution myself. Android doesn't support NTFS format actually. Format the USB with fat32. There u go. :good:
Use NTFS mounter app.....it needs root....
The problem is caused by kernel and USB drivers. Depends what kind of ROM is installed on your phone.
Some of the ROMs dont recognize big variety of card readers. Now I am using some cheap china phone,
so i had hard time to find the correct SD card reader.
Before, I was using Paranoid Android on Nexus 7, I didnt have problem with mounting any size of card, any kind of card reader.
Try different card readers , play around, you will fing the way.
:good:
I have the same problem but both the cable and drives work fine on my Verizon G3 but not on my T-Mobile G3 running 6.0.1 mm based Turbo ROM.
My S5 suddenly refused my Usb Otg drive for no reason. It was working fine. It also corrupts the drive so BE VERT CAREFUL before connecting any mass storage to Android. Why is that?
Hi there guys
I've just Rooted my HTC WILDFIRE (buzz) to the Cyanogenmod 9. I really enjoyed the speed and new functions I have on my phone now.
However, when I try to insert my USB cable into the USB port of my destkop, I can't see my phone storage. I tried to 'reinstall' CM 9 but it still doesn't work. I've tried it on different USB ports and computers, but my phone isn't recognized anywhere.
My SD card is not 'dead' or anything, cause I am still able to install apps from the store on it.
Anybody who can help me out here ?
EDIT: I managed to get on my storage again via recovery, but do I have to do this each time if I want to remove or add something on my phone/sd card via USB ?

More probably a problem of drivers.
Quick solution : Disable USB debugging on your device before connecting in USB Mass Storage Mode.
Permanent solution : Uninstall and re-install USB drivers

Hi,
i have a problem with mass storage on wildfire s 2012 (s-on, rooted ,cwm 5 recovery).
The problem is on 2 roms (only 2 that i flashed on wfs), but these situations are bit different:
1. For a some time, i was using owl project (i mean android 4.2.2) , and when i connect usb cable, i have an option to enable usb mass storage, but my computer doesn't see sd card.
2. Then i flashed Marvellous Sense 3.5 (7-10-13...the newest release anyway) (full wipe before of course), when i connect usb cable, the phone only charges, there is no popup or sth to select usb connection options.
Both problems, are not present at the first usb plugging, after flashing a rom, they appear after next ones.
Maybe this can be helpfull tip: mounting usb mass storage in recovery setting doesn't work too (when i want to copy anything to the phone, i need to reflash and boot a "fresh" rom).
I was searching the solution on ROM threads but, there is no mention of any usb problem.
I'm sure the usb cable is working properly, i've tried it to connet other phones and all is working properly.
I believe that someone will help me, I'm noob in Wildfire S, thanks in advance

Have you tried plugging the SD card on your PC via a card reader? There could be a problem with the phone's MicroUSB port. Also try using another cable if you have one.
