USB Hub with OTG Cable

Hey:
Is anyone us a multi-port usb hub with their OTG cable?

I tried to use a normal otg cable that is micro USB to USB 2.0. It never detects the USB drive and I can't seem to mount the drive either. USB debugging is enabled in the developer settings. Any tips to get this to work?
Thanks!

Mine works only when in recovery and after I mount it.
I haven't used a multiport

Any chance that this will be fixed in the next nightlies? It seems like quite a few people have problem with USB OTG.
HTC one. CM 10.1

I'm all stock and all I do is just plug in the drive and it reads it and ready to use.

I have one of those OTG cables from when I had another device that could use it, never considered trying it on my H1 with a thumb drive as external storage.

Can anyone confirm that the HTC ONE (M7) will charge via the OTG a cable while using SD function. If someone has successfully done that which cable was used.
Would like to use my SD while keeping the phone charged.

Can you hook up an external, usb powered HD for the Nexus 7 to read music from?

So I'm wondering if I can hook up my 2TB USB powered external HD to read music from the Nexus 7. Since there's no expandable slot for SD or mini SD, I want to be able to plug in my HD and have it read all my music.

I remember there being a microsd USB stick made for androids a while back, if you have the cords for it might as well hook it up and see what happens, won't do any harm

I had to use a powered USB hub to even get the device to recognize the drive. However I couldn't read anything. It may be because the drive is NTFS. Unfortunately all of my hard drives are formatted NTFS so I can't test for you.

I haven't tested, but with a USB OTG cable I can get it to read a USB stick so I would guess a HD would be the same type of thing

My old N7 would be fine with my usb powered external WD HDD, with the otg cable, don't see why it wouldn't this time as otg is still supported

So does it matter what USB otg adapter I get? And will still work without root? I won't root for a while'

Use a powered USB hub and plug the drive into that. If the drive is NTFS use USB OTG Helper and then reboot. You should then be able to access the files on the drive.

I don't even need a hub, the otg powers my external hdd

Not sure if the nexus 7 could power an HDD, its worth a shot I guess. Have you considered uploading your entire library to Google? I've done it it works great!

As it's ntfs format, you'll need an app, like nexus media importer, to see the drive.

External HHD

Has anyone tried to download and upload to an external HHD using a micro USB to usb ? Any type any size

I use my other cable with my 16 gig flash drive. I'm sure it will work with any size as long as it's fat 32.

if we can get root then we should be able to mount ntfs drives with paragon. i hooked up my portable hd and it spun up and recognized it but said it was an unsupported format. i haven't tried exfat.

External hdd
Hi.
Has anyone tried external hard drives, do you recognize?
Thank you!

OK so I got a micro USB to USB female and plugged in my 3gig external HD and it read as unsupported I the reformatted the drive to fat and it works well the only problem is you can't play back on your TV so now the question is how to get NTSF on my tablet?

[Q] Does this phone work with external hard drives when plugged in with a OTG cable?

Edit: it works. Ignore this post.
I wanted to see if I can plug my hard drive in so I can stream movies from LocalCast. I plugged the hard drive in and it was recognized, but I can't seem to find the folder. My guess is it's just not compatible, but I wanted to make sure before I give up.
