So recently I have been reading in forum due to low space on nexus 7 ppl were speaking about this things.
I gave no idea what was that so I Google it but the only thing I understood war OTG (ON THE GO)
If any 1 would be so kind in detail explain me how that thing is working I would be really happy

Hook up the otg cable to your nexus micro USB port, connect a memory stick on the other end of your otg and BAAAAM, you've got more storage

USB-OTG might not work out-of-the-box on custom ROMs.
If its not working you can try these apps to torubleshoot:
- OTG Troubleshooter
- USB Host Diagnostics
If the USB drive is not mounting then try these:
- USB OTG Helper
- StickMount
Both mounting apps and the stock mounting method mount the USB drive at different paths.
Try for the replies can you give me some link to buy one from amazon stable since I don't have idea

I tried all the recommended apps, nothing seems to detect the USB stick mounted. I know the USB stick and cable works, because when I reboot into recovery I can back up and restore from otg USB.
What else can I do to figure out why I can't mount the otg USB?

Fixed!!! I finally got otg working!!!
So here's what I did. I'm running cm11. I flashed elementalx kernel but one thing I did different was I did NOT enable usb fast charge.
So from what it seems if you have USB fast charge otg doesn't work!
I hope this helps others...

If you have problems with otg and a custom rom you can flash the Bulletproof kernel.
Since there has been no mention of drives I'll add some info.
I can use otg with 2.5 inch drives without external power. (both fat32 and ntfs formats). 3.5 inch drives require external power.
I use stickmount pro (requires root).
I'm running stock firmware and kernel. - KOT49H

To get drives to work I had to install stickmount pro but mice and keyboards do not need any extras. *Here is the cable I use. *I retested my setup and everything works as previously described. - Nexus 7 (2013) 32gig. *I'm running the stock kernel but with custom roms I use Bulletproof kernel.
I'm guessing you mean ES Explorer as I can't find EZ Explorer. *It works for me mounted as usbStorage/sda1 using ES Explorer, etc.
Note: stickmount requires some extras placed in your sdcard root.

I have an issue with OTG on my new nexus 7, I plugged in a Microsoft wireless mouse nano transceiver, and the nexus thinks it's a keyboard as well, so it disables the on screen keyboard. What can be done to fix this?

I've been scouring the internet looking for an answer about USB host mode on the 2013 Nexus 7 as well, and I can't find anything about it, other than one stray comment on the Google Play store saying that it does not. I'm still hoping that it will though. I ordered two of them at work, they will be here on Tuesday. I'll try a USB device on one of them first thing, and I will let you know.
If the 2013 Nexus 7 doesn't have host mode, I'll be sticking with a 2012 Nexus 7. That's a dealbreaker for me.
Nexus Media Importer is supposed to work. Otherwise rooting and using an app like Stickmount will give you full functionality.
Same situation with Gen1 Nexus 7.
Got my hands on one. An Apple USB keyboard and USB flash drive works, a USB mouse did not. By default it provides 8 mA, and the Apple keyboard drew 80 mA.
This should work. It's an MicroUSB OTG cable (It came with an Android Stick), and attached to it is one of the little USB MicroSD card readers that are often included when you buy the SD Card.
(The card is shown pulled out from the reader).
I cannot verify that it works, because I just got my N7(2013) tonight, and I have not yet rooted or installed Nexus Media Importer.
For right now, I stuck my old tablet's card in the Micro-reader, and stuck the micro reader in the USB port on my NAS, and I am pulling everything back down with ES File.
I'll try mounting OTG Storage - perhaps from the command line, once I get some time to play with this thing.

the app USB OTG Helper app in Play works fine on mine. My Nexus 7 FLO is rooted and unlocked.
as posted previously by another member, stickmount will also work too, and free from Gplay
Mine works really well with Stickmount. No needing to start the tablet with otg connected, etc. Just plug and play.

Good to know that OTG works, as they still make these things with too little storage and no MicroSD. Thanks for the info.
Have had success on the stock ROM unrooted with Nexus Media importer. Was initially having some problems but it turned out to be a bad cable. Changed the cable and no problems.

How's the drive formatted? I imagine here's a good chance a 64GB flash drive will be formatted with exFAT, which stock Android can't deal with.
(That said, I have a 64GB drive here which came formatted with FAT32... and no tablet to plug it into yet...)

The 32gb that works and the 64gb that does not work are both formatted with NTFS. I can't use FAT32 because of the file size restrictions.

IIRC, a stock, out-of-the-box, N7 can not use any USB drives. It requires helper apps, like Stickmount, which usually require, at a minimum, rooting the device. My understanding is that Nexus Media Importer (available as a paid app in the Google Store) does not need root. I have not tried it personally, though.

Thank you for the response.
I have taken a regular usb drive, connected with a micro usb OTG cable to the drive and used "Nexus Media Importer" and it works. My question is if I were to take one of these new Leaf or PQI drives which already have a micro usb connector and stick it into my Nexus and use the "Nexus Media Importer" will it also work? And if so why have Leaf and PQI not mentioned Nexus 7 2013 in there list?
It could be that they have not tested these drives against Nexus 7. So before I bought it I wanted to know if some one in this forum had already tested it and it had worked.

I suspect that it will work and they haven't tested them with the N7. That said, I've never used one so I can't be certain.
This is a pretty neat idea, and is compatible with the new Droid line. For $12 you get a coin-sized micro SD adapter that attaches to your key chain. Supports up to 64Gb micro SD cards.
I have 3 of these, I'm an original Kickstarter backer & love this little thing

I got a pair of them, too. I use them mainly for movie storage for my Nexus 7. You can use a 64GB card, but you (usually) have to reformat it as FAT32. The 64GB cards come formatted with exFAT, which isn't widely supported by Android devices.

No idea. I haven't noticed much of a difference. What are you trying to do? The main reason to use an adapter like this seems to be to play videos stored on a microSD card. I would strongly expect that the screen and CPU/GPU would be dominating the power usage in that case.

Unfortunately, the 4.4 update removed USB-OTG support. You can't mount USB sticks anymore (unless you root and install StickMount). However, you could use a third party application like Total Commander with the USB Stick plugin. You still can't mount the card, but you can access files through the Total Commander app.

It's a flash drive with a USB 2.0 connector on one side, and a micro USB OTG connector on the other. It's awesome. I do TWRP backups to this drive and it works like a charm.
Also handy for storing tons of videos.
FYI. I got USB OTG support working on my Droid Maxx. I'm rooted, but otherwise haven't done anything out of the ordinary to the phone. I don't think you have to be rooted to get it to work, but I have no way to verify that myself.
Anyway, the instructions are over in the Moto-X forum, and they work fine for the Maxx.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/otg-supported-4-4-2-unrooted-via-t2709553
The trick is to create a shortcut to the "Qualcomm Settings" app, run it, and enable USB OTG support there.
An interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
BTW-OTG works as is on 444.

As for where you can find a wireless charger in the Philippines I can't say. But all you do literally is plug in the charger and rest the device on top of it.
NFC is used as a substitute to your credit cards and you can also use it to share user data such as BBM pins and other small pieces of data

I have a San Disk Ultra dual USB (micro usb and regular USB), and use the ES file manager.
When I plug the San Disk into my Nexus 5 it (ES File manager) see's it just fine.
On the Nexus 7 when I plug the San Disk in I can't seem to find it showing up in the ES File Manager.
Maybe I just need to use another file browser.

Stickmount Pro works the best in my opinion and allows you to use your favorite root explorer. Just create a shortcut to your home screen and when Stickmount mounts your micro drive all you have to do then is open the home screen shortcut

No, a regular Western Digital "My Passport" USB HDD.
My Nexus 5 provides enough power without needing a y-cable/external power. But thats probably because it has a snapdragon 800 chipset.
The Tab S uses an Exynos 5 so I'm worried it won't be able to power up the drive.
Anyone tried a USB HDD with the tab S?
Many thanks in advance
Can't get my hdd to work on the t805 weird thought because my g3 can power it.
Galaxy Tab S 10.5 USB OTG works with my 32gb PNY flash drive. I formatted it first in FAT 32 and my drive was recognised instantly. You can double check if it is recognised under the 'storage' option in settings, then in the USB OTG storage tab.
Then i reformatted it in exFAT on my computer and it still works perfectly. It was instantly recognised upon plugging it into the tablet.
The USB OTB cable (micro usb to female usb) I used was a cheap generic ebay one which does the job. So yes, this device does support USB OTG natively (though I haven't tried NTFS format yet).
