[Q] Cannot connect to PC after using Nexus media importer - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I was playing with mounting a thumb drive using an otg cable and playing mkvs from it using mx player (succsefully btw), and now when I connect my Galaxy note 2 to any computer (tried multiple) the phone charges, but does not mount as a media device within windows.
Anyone have any ideas? I tried uninstalling the app, rebooting, pulling the battery, different cords and different computers.

I can still use the OTG cable to connect to a thumb drive and play files from it, so I do not believe I have damaged the hardware...

[Q] USB playback with a Honda CR-V?

My wife's got a fancy CR-V has a USB connector to allow you to play music via USB. Works fine with the iPhone, but when I connect my Nexus I keep getting unsupported USB. I've tried all the different modes for the USB connection. The manual doesn't say that it only works with an iPhone so I was hoping there is a way around it Anyone have any suggestions?
Thats because SGN doesn't support USB mass storage mode due to it lacking a separate SD card.
Might want to check if crv supports Bluetooth audio.

USB OTG issues

I have a tmobile sgs3 with a stock rom (it was rooted, but latest update seems to have killed that), and after seeing the androidNZ connectivity demo I decided to play around with the usb otg. I am having some problems however. I have tried with 2 external hdds and a thumb drive and all three light up, but do nothing to the phone. I get no pop ups, and when I use astro to check the external usb drives, they all show up empty.
What am I missing?
Thank you!
I do not have that issue, but did you check USB debugging mode in Developer options?
I haven't tried to connect to an external HD, but USB Flash card works fine, as well as USB keyboard & mouse.
I've bought a $2 USB adapter for my phone and I have been able to mount a pendrive or a HD (when it is plugged to an external power source).
But when I try to connect a Mouse, Keyboard, Gamepad, etc., nothing happens. Not even an error message.
I'm using an official Android 4.03 rooted ROM (Claro Argentina).
Does anyone know what could be happening? The problem is my ROM (and it's drivers)? Is my USB otg adapter that is not compatible with mouse and keyboard?
I attach a screenshot of my system

[Q] USb Stick connection

Hi All
I have just been buying loads of accessories such as HDMI connectors and OTG cables for my Note 2. But have had no success with any of them. I got the HDMI cadapter first. But get no picture at all. This could be down to several things. I only have a PC monitor to try this out on and it doesnt have HDMI input. I do have a HDMI to DVI cable that I know works but still no joy connecting my Note 2 that way.
Next the OTG adapter arrived and I tried to connect a USB stick but with no joy. I have ES file explorer as well as Solid Explorer. I understand the way the mount points work ie navigating to /mnt and trying all the USB links but none access my USB stick. The stick is formatted fat32. I also tried Stickmount And USB mass Storage watcher. I tried several USB sticks. I even tried to connect a mouse. No joy with any of it.
Normal connectivity using the charge/data cable is fine.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting I need to enable/disable? All the videos I've watched show this as being really straight forward.
Also I have a Touchwiz based Rom, CleanRom and the pjhne is the N7105

nexus 7 OTA cable help, what app to use???

hi, so im rooted and used OTA cable with stickmount, it mounts my usb3.0 drive but it doesn't show any files, does it only detect or show fat32? i think my stick is NTSF
i also tried nexus media importer and it doesnt detect my usb drive
any other apps? thanks
i used free app called usb otg helper and it detects my ntsf drive but when i play the .mkv file theres no audio, maybe i don't have the right codec or video player?

OTG not working

So Ive run into a strange problem. I was watching a movie last night on my nexus, the file was on my usb drive connected via otg to the nexus. Today I try to do the same and I get no reaction from Stickmount when plugging in the drive. I have no problems charging or connecting the tablet to my PC, and the drive works fine both connecting to the PC and to my smartphone with stickmount as well. I also tried DLing an app called OTG Troubleshooter to see if that would help me. When connecting the drive it tells me that OTG is detected, but that "Mass storage USB device is not detected in linux/android". Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance
Nexus Media Importer
I had a similar problem with the device not recognizing the OTG cable, it went away after I installed the Nexus Media Importer.

I tried with Nexus Media Importer as well, no success there either, it doesnt detect the drive. Thanks for the tip anyway
mine does the same thing with both stickmount and nexus media importer, I even tried 3 different OTG cables and flashdrives and get the same results

mine usually recognizes the cable, it is the thumb drive attached to it that it usually dosent see
im no expert but i was having issues with a physical keyboard through otg
on stock rom it times out
im on cm12 may 30 2015 with elementalx kernel
after flashing i plugged in the otg with the wireless keyboard reciever
nothing. worse than stock.
i downloaded all the usb otg helpers etc what not
in conclusion
i somehow managed to get
s3c usb host drivers for android
installed them from some site that i cant remember anymore -- really dumb --. seemed sketchy but had nothing to lose
altought now i can type still getting the same crap problmes i had with stock but not as bad. time s out

I have the same problem and have just tested that connecting a mouse or keyboard to the otg works without problems, what doesnt work is a flash drive. ( I have tried different flash drives to no success)
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

I uninstalled and then reinstalled it again and now it is working again. I think it might have been slow to update
Maybe you guys are using a Kernel with OTG+Charge option? if yes the problem maybe that you have to connect the AC charger and USB device together. If you don't need the OTG+charge you should deactivate that function.
