I have an OTG cable that worked fine with a 32 GB usb drive on my Galaxy S2 (stock ICS 4.0.4) without any additional driver. When I plugged it in, the notification came up "usb connected" and the drive was visible. I connected this same cable/drive to my Note 2 (stock 4.1.2 rooted) for the first time and it did not see it, nor did I see any notificication.
Did you see yours?
thanks.
Yup mine works
Thanks for the reply. It was my usb drive. I bought a brand new Lexar usb 3.0 32 GB usb drive and Note 2 did not recognize it (Windows pc read/write to it just fine), even though I formatted it in my Windows pc to FAT32. I tried another usb drive and it came up just fine, without the need of any additional driver.
Yup mines working too.. though I have a rooted n2....
Afaik o2g somehow needs SU permission. ...
But on my tab 2 it works without the root..
Try diff usb pendrives....:thumbup:

My working too on seagate 500 mb and pendrives.
Not sure why my brand new Lexar 32GB USB 3.0 wasn't recognized (it's usb 2.0 compatible).
it worked fine in my pc and transferred close to 100 Mbytes/s read and 50 MBytes/s write on the USB 3.0 port.
When I plugged it to the OTG cable, my Note 2 couldn't see it. The same cable with a 8 GB usb drive was working fine so
it wasn't the cable.
I already tried to format it in my windows pc to FAT32 and also to exFAT but none of them worked in the Note 2.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.
The same OTG cable and USB drive (Lexar 32 GB USB 3.0) worked just fine connected to a Galaxy S2.
Why the Note 2 didn't see it?
The only difference is that the S2 runs stock ICS 4.0.4 and the Note 2 runs stock JB 4.1.2. Both are rooted.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks.

My stock fw, rooted 4.1.2 note 2 works fine with my usb devices. Formatted to FAT32.

Hey guys
So basically I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC19E camcorder, and was wondering if i plugged it into my galaxy tab using the samsung usb adapter thing, will it recognise it and allow me to take and transfer files to and from the tab?
As i want to upload some videos to youtube but it wont work on my computer?
So im basically asking if anybody has got mass storage access to devices they have plugged into the tab 10.1
Thanks in advance for any help
Adam
I have a Sony dcr-sr100. It mounts to my galaxy tab 10.1 on stock firmware.
I have found that " high" powered USB devices are rejected by this tab, which is annoying. But i have found that how you connect the devices matter also.
E.g. if the adaptor is plugged in then i use my USB drive to the adapter is does not work.
If my USB drive is plugged into the adapter then into the tab it usually works, if not pull out and try again right away.
If you can get a powered USB hub, this will help for connecting more devices. Generic keyboard & mice work fine ( if not " high" powered)
USB mass storage otg app in the market will help to mount more drives at once and enable access to NTFS formatted drives which are not supported on the stock firmware.

This is the one I got.

I don't see much point paying more than this.
Also the " card reader" versions are designed to only mount one card at a time since that is how the stock device handles otg. But if you already have USB card reader your happy with, it can be used with USB mass storage OTG app from the market. ( Which also adds NTFS support).

I got the corded version, as I thought it was more risky using the "Block" style one that might break the connector 30pin if it was knocked too hard.
There is rick of the corded version breaking on the cable, but it is a cheap replacement fix.

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

Firstly, is it worth getting a USB OTG cable? What can you use it for? Do you have one?
Second, which one should I get for the Galaxy Nexus? I've seen these two:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micro-Cable...qid=1365625284&sr=1-23&keywords=usb+otg+cable
Which is better? Is there any difference? Appreciate the help.
Thanks,

First you have to get the app called Stick Mount if you want to use usb flash drives. But the OTG cable can be used for a lot of things, keyboard, mice,
usb flash drives. I've seen a youtube video where the guy uses a hub and uses all 3.

It's also my understanding that you can also flash leaked ota's from stock recovery with an otg cable.

I was going to get the Nexus Media Importer. But, which cable should I get?
I have a generic usb OTG.
I have successfully used a mouse, usb flash drive, keyboard.
The only thing I couldn't use was my CDMA internet stick.
If that would have worked then it would have really been awesome!

How much can you do using USB OTG with an unrooted Galaxy Nexus? Most importantly, can you use a memory card reader to copy files from the memory card to the phone or use it to upload the files to Dropbox?
I'm asking on behalf of my sister. I don't have access to her phone so I can't simply try it out. I know USB OTG works great on my rooted Galaxy SIII but I've never had a Nexus device.

As of 4.2 there is native support for USB OTG on the Galaxy Nexus so you don't need any third party app. You can use it without root USB device is mounted as /usbdisk. Try X-plore from the Play Store which shows a separate drive for the USB device you have connected.

See if there's an option in settings>storage as Mount USB storage, if not there use an app such as stick mount or USB OTG helper. Even for using those apps the phone should recognize when a storage device is connected, the pen drive/card reader should light up.
If option is there and still not mounting then any of your devices may be improper check your OTG cable with other phones, your pen drive/card reader.
Clean the contacts of cable and your USB device. Best way to confirm working is to boot to recovery and connect, USB storage is always mounted in recovery mode.

Any decent file explorer should also be able to see mounted storage, especially given 4.2. You may have to browse to root and poke around until you find the appropriate /mnt folder, but set a bookmark (your explorer supports bookmarks, right?) and that should be all she wrote. StickMount is also great for me.
OTG has been really helpful for playing media off of the occasional flash drive, and while using a mouse isn't all too helpful, playing with a full keyboard can make for a surprisingly good experience.
I have the original Samsung usb adapter for my note 10.1 and it works great. If like to be able to connect my camera and a usb powered external drive to my note. I know the note won't power usb devices. Had anyone had any luck using a powered Usb hub to connect usb powered devices to the note?

Ordered one of these today. Someone commented it allows them to connect their external hard drive to their S4 so hopefully it will work on the Note 10.1. I'll report back once I get it and try it out. Specifically I'm hoping it will enable me to copy directly from my camera to the drive for a backup with both devices connected to the hub. Will be pretty slick and totally eliminate my need for a laptop when traveling.

Just reporting back the usb hub works perfectly. Connecting to my NTFS drive and using a card reader (my DSLR uses CF and Iwant to copy all files not just import/copy JPG files) and am able to easily copy files back/forth from my external drive powered by the hub. You will need an OTG app, this is what I've found works best for me but I'm sure a lot is just personal preference on the UI.

Hello,
Here's my problem, I recently bought an OTG cable for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S (Stockrom 4.4.2, rooted), I plugged in my 16gb flash drive, it worked perfectly. Then I tried to use my 1TB Hard drive (not self-powered) but the tablet didn't recognize it, the power led didn't switched on. I tried the same operation but this time with my Galaxy S4 (Stockrom 4.4.2, rooted) and in perfectly worked.
Thank you for your help !
Its a laptop hdd or desktop? I've tried a laptop on my S and it worked perfect

Re
It's an external HDD, Toshiba 1 TB, may there be a tweak or something like that to make it spin? It's really weird that my GS4 runs it perfectly, whereas my Tab S, which has twice more battery power doesn't.
In addition, I bought it for that purpose !

I know you said that the led didn't turned on which means its probably about the power going through the connection but have you tried the app total commander yet?
Re
I know that I could use a powered usb host, but I think that's completely useless as it's just a new Samsung restriction which never existed before.
Yes I also did try Total Commander, unsuccessfully.
I'm 100% sure that the problem could be solved simply by flashing some files to increase the usb power limit like it's been until now.
Developers we're calling for your help. THANK YOU
btw, u said that you were able to access your 16 gb flash drive by just plugging it in right? did you have to do anything special to get it to work? i tried it on mine but when i plugged it in , 2 things pops up in the noti bar, Blank USB Storage and USB OTG Device Connected, i tried all sorts of ntfs apps but i couldnt mount it at all.
I tested my 16 gb NTFS flash drive, it works perfectly using Total Commander.
