I was trying to use OTG cable on my Xperia S running on CM 10. I have already used StickMount and all other similar apps but for some reason my phone is unable to detect anything. When i try to mount storage via StickMount app , it shows "none" . so just want to know if OTG is supported in CM 10 . If no then is there any chance that it might be available in the future ?

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.

mouse and micro sd card via card reader is working except my 16gb usb and i tried with every format but still the same result phone restarts !! any reason or seggestion please ??
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

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??
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.
