What app(s) are you trying to use?
I am able to copy/write to USB using ES File Explorer. Haven't tried other apps.

I hear that honeycomb and ics support this function. So has anyone tried this out or does this version of ics have this functionality? I'm wondering if this device can read and explore external mass storage devices such as usb thumb drives or memory card readers and such. Would definitely be a deal breaker for me when I'm due for an upgrade.

yes, and you need a proper correct usb-OTG cable.
not all cable works.
Works great on bigxie v. 5, using stickmount to mount my usb key. Haven't tried mouse etc, just wanted storage to work.
My laptop died and i downloaded some movies on bittorent to my gs3 but when i connect the phone to ps3 it says "unknown usb device" and wont mount my phone.My Epic and Epic Touch still mounts but they are on Gingerbread,is it ics or gs3 issue?Im on Sprint gs3.

My understanding is that this is an issue that many newer ICS devices no longer have support for "Mass Storage mode" which is what you're referring to when you say "mount." The S3 uses what's called MTP which is music transfer protocol. It IMO sucks by comparison. They changed it for all the "special" people who think that voicing a button to mount a drive is too much work. The best way I've found is to stream it (which is a whole other ball of wax) or to just take out your memory card and put it in a usb micro sd drive. If anyone else knows a way to get mass storage mode (OTHER than using a custom kernel ) please let me know too!

Probably because the s3 uses mtp. It doesn't have the feature to see the phone as regular usb storage

Ok,any good way to stream mkv to jailbroken ps3?Or any good way to copy a file to ps3 without usb?
Itryed two upn apps and they were really slow.
Try to install media server on your phone, I've not tried it and no longer have a ps3

Which one? I tryed two and they were garbage.
I dont like installing and deleting too many things because it slows down your phone like windows.

With DivX plus codec software on a windows 7 pc you can stream it directly. You have to make sure your pc can see the ps3. I had to fiddle around a LOT to do it. My friend did it easily. I don't know why mine was so hard lol. Just MY luck. But my advice is to unload your video on your pc. Then stream it. Converting or encoding mkv takes forever. If you root your device. And install busybox there's a thread here on xda onshore to get back Mass Storage mode. I've been reading it after your post.

I am using Opensuse 11.4 for work and wondering if it is possible to connect my note 2 to the PC via cable.
I want to transfer file to and from the phone.
I installed the mtp tools but the PC still cannot recognize the phone.
You have to install gMTP do a search on Google for it. You might have to compile from source depending on what distro your running. Works great for me

You could just install the Airdroid app on the phone and transfer files through any browser.
Thats what I do on my Mac for example.
Nice thing about gMTP is that you don't have to worry about slow upload speeds and getting flagged by some savy network admin that watches there local network. Plus it's faster when your transferring large files etc.

Thanks for the reply, guys. I'll try gmtp. I have airandroid but it is too slow sometimes.
As there are no roms that I am interested in flashing so I have yet to root my phone. So I just wanna ask if OTG cable will work without root, just wanna xfer some files from my phone to a usb stick.
Thanks

Yea OTG is supported without root.
Hello,
I'm facing an issue when I mount an external flash drive to my nexus 7 using a simple USB OTG adapter. When i plug the external memory in, the flash drive's LED indicator lights up, which means that it's powered by the tablet, but the device itself doesn't react whatsoever and when browsing with ES I don't see any external drive. What am i supposed to do? My nexus 7 is entirely stock and no root, so i don't void the warranty.

ES won't see the drive - you need to use a 3rd party app like Nexus Media Importer to access it.
Yeah, I got total commander plus a paid usb otg plugin for it and now I can use it normally. Turns out Nexus devices can't boot external flash drives on their own.

When my USB port wasn't broken I didn't need any additional apps, I just plugged my USB drive into my OTG cable then into my device and it was instantly recognized. If that doesn't work for you try usinh Chainfire's Stickmount.
You could try OTG helper but that requires root access...
If the light is coming on you should be able to use it. You are just going to need a 3rd party app such as "file explorer".
I can understand the worries of voiding your warranty but you may need root access if you are going to trouble shoot. If things go bad you can always unroot your tablet and take it back to factory settings. WuGFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit has a nice feature on his windows program that does that automatically for you!
