[Q] how to make defy look like a usbstick to any device

how to make defy look like a usbstick to any device.
i want some kind of emulator so my defy looks like a 2gb usb stick!!

Just connect to a pc with the data cable and select memory card access when asked for the type of usb conenction, it should get detected and act like a normal pen drive.
What device are u trying to use it with?

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.

ow and im on Cm7

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

I got a sdcard. it works on my pc normaly

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.

[Q] USB OTG not enough energy?

Connecting the Acro S and a camera by USB OTG works well. But when I connect a simple USB flashdrive to the phone instead there's warning "not enough energy, disconnect this device".
Are USB OTG connections only possible between devices that each have their own powersource? I see examples of flashdrives connected through USB OTG all over the place. Is this a specific Xperia or Acro S problem?

I've seen an Xperia S connecting to a external storage drive on a store. Try using other flash drive and see if that solves the problem.
Hit THANKS if my post helps you!

You're right. No problem with an older Sandisk Cruzer flashdrive. The other flashdrive, the one that made the Acro S complain about the energy, was a Corsair Voyager GT.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to tell which flashdrive can be used for usb otg and which can't?

When you at a shop just look for this symbol on products. (pic below)

Hi,
The solution to this problem is, this really worked for me:
Code:
su
echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationValue
Just type the above commands in terminal emulator after rooting your device

Code:
su
echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/bConfigurationValue
with this any pen drive can be used with USBOTG?!?

well, you can try and get a y cable(http://bixnet.net/images/Cab-USB-YBlack.jpg, its not mine, I'm not promoting anything) and you can get the other cable to connect to an external power source to boot whatever that you wanted

[Help] OTG cable problem

Hello, i have bought a OTG adaptor but when i connect a USB pen to my Sony Xperia S it doesn't do anything.
I have also tested:
- USB pen FAT32
- USB pen NTFS
I know that this adaptor is working because the store owner tested it on a tablet and it worked.
Stange thing is that i tried to connect to a zte blade, Galaxy Gios and nexus 7 and it didn't work as well....
However when i connect it to the computer the adaptor works...
Stock .55
No root
Can someone advise me?
Thanks

Root your phone and download USB OTG Helper from the Play Store.

I have many FAT32 USB flash drives that work fine with my XPERIA S no problems.
I have not confirmed this myself, but it is possible the amps provided by the Sony XPERIA S(LT26i) could be as low as 100mA.[citation needed]
Can't find any documented specs for XPERIA S and USB power supplied and/or USB flash drive which also has a known documented amp draw for reference.
I'd really quite like to know what amps the XPERIA S USB port provides.
I have a USB thumb drive that doesn't work on my XPERIA S namely the HP v165w 8GB (FAT32 formatted)
It just comes up with a big red warning triangle saying, "USB Power Consumption error"
However the USB thumb drive HP c330w 8GB does work (NTFS formatted)
Many other SanDIsk FAT32 formatted USB thumb drives also work fine. Namely the SanDisk USB 2.0 Cruzer Facet 32GB
I have downloaded Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ which allows me to successfully mount NTFS formatted flash drives on my root'd XPERIA S.
My 'Desktop' FV-1 Android box with three USB ports/HDMI etc, mounts anything and everything, including the HP v165w 8GB USB thumb drive. So it just means no two Android devices are equal in design and power.

it should work anyway? I've seen a few shots and youtube movies where the USB on-the-go was working on an XS!

连接U盘需要安装一个USB存储管理器的软件(此软件需要root权限和busybox).插入OTG和优盘之后可以看到优盘的灯亮了.之后再点击连接.
这样就可以在SDcard\usbStorage 里看到优盘里的文件.
你也可以连接一个集线器.这样可以连接鼠标键盘之类的.如果你要连接功耗比较大的设备,这样就需要一个带电源的集线器.如果动手能力比较强的话,还可以直接在OTG线上剥开接上电源.
希望有懂中文的....!!!!Hope someone will Chinese!!!

Connecting U disk need to install a USB storage management software (the software requires root permissions and busybox). Insert OTG and USB flash drive's lights. Then click connect.
The USB file so that you can in SDcard \ usbStorage see.
You can also connect a hub so you can connect a mouse and keyboard like if you want to connect to a large power equipment, so that you need a powered hub. Strong practical ability, but also can directly plug in the power in OTG online peel.
this is what google translates for me! pretty weird to read like this. but maybe we can figure it out?!

In my honest option, I agree with SNYXPR, there should be no requirement for additional software on a standard build XPERIA S(LT26i) when using "supported" FAT32 formatted USB storage.
If the FAT32 formatted USB flash drive you have attached to the XPERIA S meets the power requirements you should be fine.
No software I know of is going to boost the power supplied by the MicroUSB port and at best, any application for USB storage is only able to support additional drive formats like NTFS etc.
I've had/have USB flash drives, Logitech Unifying Mouse/Keyboard attached without problems.
I've got a Galaxy Note Connection kit Model: DR03-S2 and that works fine and I'm able to read/write SD cards, MicroSD cards and USB flash drives using it without problems(one attached device in use at any one time).
If you go to the next step and use a powered USB hub, then a wider array of devices can be used with the XPERIA S as the USB hub is providing the power to connect the device. This includes USB printers and FAT32 formatted USB 80GB plus HDD (both IDE and SATA) etc. Also all those FAT32 formatted storage devices that said the XPERIA S did not meet the power requirement work too.
Remember the XPERIA S only support FAT32 formatted storage by default(natively).
As part of my desktop setup I have the following connection.
Sony DK10 dock plugged into a Aten USB switch which is connected to a powered USB Targus 7 port Hub.
This gives me access to USB mouse/keyboard, USB flash drives or USB HDD of any size, printer, SD card reader on my DELL U2410 monitor and etc.
Then it's just a button press to (USB)switch back to my Notebook, Desktop PC and any other device connected as part of my desktop environment.

Thank you for the replies, i think root is not required since i have seen a vídeo made by XperiaBlog that just connects a USB pen drive to Xperia S and it just works. I have tried a Kignston 8 GB and it doesn't connect, not event to nexus 7 ...

Second USB device

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices

I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.

AT&T LG G4 USB OTG Not working

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.

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

Hi...same issue here after marshmallow.

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.
