phone not detecting USB OTG card reader - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I recently got a free usb otg card reader labeled as "for LG G4" (I know that doesn't make a difference) with another LG G4 accessory I ordered online.
unfortunately it's not detected when connected to the phone. Its works fine on my Samsung tablet and S5 running lollipop.
Can somebody confirm if they face similar problems on their g4 running marshmallow. Both my wife and I have a G4 but upgraded to marshmallow so can't verify if it works on the phone with the stock lollipop rom.
And any ideas to get it working are welcome.

Ok found another thread where the possible solution is to use an adapter with 5v powered input . so I'm assuming it is a phone issue and not an android version issue

My g3 was real picky about what card readers it would use. I ended up buying a kinda pricey samsung card reader and its been a good one on both g3 and g4

File transfer no longer works ?

I've upgraded to Bepe full cube and it's great but I just got a new 8 gb sdhc card which works well in the phone but not in the old sd adapter, i'm trying to load up near 2gb of maps over active sync which keeps dropping the connection ( did this before flashing ) , I thought I would try bluetooth ftp instead but it is no longer supported ?? any ideas
I'm using win Xp
I have just installed an 8 gb sdhc card.
It came with a usb adaptor, which works. It does not work with my old sd card adaptor
They didn't send the usb adapter with mine , plus it's a pain to have to remove it each time
What make is the card and where did you buy it?

Sandisk & Ebay, but like I said that's not the issue here I know I can get that sorted out
I was asking, as I recently bought an 8GB MicroSDHC card from eBay myself, but mine came with a small SanDisk USB adapter, which states on it 'MicroSDHC'.
I get the impression that the card requires a reader that supports SD2.0/SDHC for it to successfully read/write it.
I might be wrong
You are right, it makes sense that the old adapter won't work with the new model card, as for the ftp that's an issue with the rom similar to the mms problems people have been having

Micro SD card help

So i have 2 micro sd cards one 8GB and one 32GB. I had recently just bought the 32GB one to give myself a good amount of space but unfortunately they both just stopped working all together. Basically one day my GS3 just began rejecting my 32GB card so i attempted to format it on my computer with a usb adapter, i tried both windows and mac os trying a range of programs but it just won't format. I even tried to format it using CWM but it can't mount it. but i don't think its fried because i just got it and it was working fine for like 2 - 3 weeks...so then i put my 8GB card in for 2 days and same thing...can't format or erase or mount on android...i've searched all over the web and need help cuz at this point i feel like my phone is destroying SD cards.
And one last piece on info if it helps I'm running the task AOKP 4.1.1 rom with their latest release and their latest O/C Kernel and clockwork mod touch on an AT&T Galaxy s3
please help as soon as possible

Use USB OTG for music and movies?

How do i use a usb otg cable with a flash drive to listen to music or watch movies? Can you do this?
OTG storage was confirmed to work on another thread. I haven't tested it out with my cable, but you may need Stickmount or similar (if so, you will need root). You will also need a third party player to play other media.
Another possibility is to create a "file bridge" or similar to make the stock player see the media on the external storage. This was a little difficult to do at first on 4.2 with the introduction of multi-user, but someone may have found a way around it. Something to research.

A regular USB flash drive should need no additional power, I have yet to find one that can't be used with the OTG cable due to power requirements.

Hi:
I've been using Nexus Media Importer on my stock, non-rooted, Nexus 7 2012 for almost a year. It also works flawlessly on my stock, non-rooted, Nexus 7 2013. I wish people would STOP saying OTG use requires root.

Well, I tried Nexus Media Importer without root and it didn't work for me. If you follow NMI troubleshooting links you will find that the author has found that it is very problematic with Android 4.3. He claims he has found a macarena-like workaround but I couldn't get it to work for me.
I will try rooting and stickmount tonight.

Hi:
I am sorry that you are having problems with Nexus Media Importer. The author did not say that NMI was very problematic with 4.3. He said that a few people were having random problems with 4.3. Aside from you, looking at reviews on the play store, there were no reviews that couldn't be straightened out with the work around. I support six other Nexus 7 owners and none of us ever had any problems nor had to use any work arounds on 4.22 nor 4.3. Again, you may have been one of the few with a problem but looking at play store reviews and the many, many reports on this forum with 4.3, Nexus Media Importer works with OTG on stock Nexus 7 tablets.
It streams and copies with NTFS and does the same and writes with Fat32. It does not support exfat.
I have an extensive section on Nexus Media Importer in my Nexus 7 guide:

Apparently I am not the only one to have this difficulty. It's great that you have had a different experience, I wish mine was that way.
This issue was with the 2013 Nexus 7. I had no problems with the 2012 version. Based on your comments about version 4.2.2 (which the 2013 version never shipped with) I wonder if your experiences are based on 2012 hardware?
Here is a quote from the developer's site "It appears that the Android 4.3 update broke the USB Host on some Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 2nd gen. devices. In Nexus Media Importer and Nexus Photo Viewer, these appear in the Connect screen as "Protected". It does not appear to affect a particular model, but devices at random. The issue has been reported to Google via the link below:"
You can find this at: http://nexususb.blogspot.com/2013/07/android-4.html along with his workaround (which requires multiple reboots so I view the workaround as macarena-like, certainly not a straightforward method)

Hi:
You are indeed not the only one having the problem but I still say the majority of users are not having any problems. Nonetheless, it's not very useful for me to say, "It works for me and not for you--nyah, nyah, nyah." So, let me say what works for me instead. All testing was done on a Nexus 7 2013, today. All flash drives were formatted with Fat32.
First of all, make sure you have write enabled in advanced preferences. If not, all flash drives will show up as Protected.
There are four variables, the OTG cable, adapters, the flash drive/sd card and the tablet.
We know that Asus production is uneven. As an owner of the TF101, 201, Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 7 2013. I've been lucky to receive tablets without production defects but there are many folks who have been unlucky.
My OTG cables all come from the following vendor:
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable $1.50
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this flash drive as it's small and doesn't weigh down the OTG cable:

I have a couple of Sandisk 64gb Microsd Class 6 cards formatted to NTFS, not useful as they are no longer for sale.
I tested my friend's SanDisk Class 10 Ultra 64gb MicroSD XC I, formatted with great difficulty to Fat32. Sandisk Class 10 cards have a hidden partition, only come formatted with exfat, are difficult to format to fat32--designed incompatibility. I am done with Sandisk MicroSd cards. Instead I recommend
Kingston Digital 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 Flash Card (SDCX10/64GB) $59.99
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-64GB-MicroSDXC-SDCX10/dp/B009X0G304/ref=sr_1_1
In addition to the above, I tested it with several SanDisk cruzer usb drives, 16 and 32, a four gig PNY flash drive and even an odd fish-shaped flash drive that my friend had trouble reading on some laptops.
All of the Microsd cards worked, the NTFS cards worked with copying streaming, not write. All of the flash drives worked with write. None showed up as protected.

Glad we are not engaging in a tit-for-a-tat exchange. The OTB cable I had worked with my 2012 N7. I will order the one you used and see if that is any different.
Mike
UPDATE: I ordered one but it looks just like the one I have.
I noticed one problem with stickmount and videos: Apparently something gets a little too sleepy when the tablet sleeps. I was using a nightly build of VLC, and paused the video playback for about 10 minutes, when I woke up the tablet and it tried to resume, it couldn't do it. I tried the same video and pause after copying the file to the /sdcard, and the resume from pause worked fine. Definitely an obscure case, but there was a difference with OTG.

Mini Micro-SD Card Reader

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 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.

What about battery drain with this adapter?
I've got one, but it hasn't worked since I upgraded to KitKat. Stickmount doesn't seem to work for me, either. Does anyone have this working with KitKat? What's the trick?

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.

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.

Half otg suppprt

Well I just found out the turbo 2 doesn't transfer from the device to a USB but it does transfer from the USB to the device. This sucks I need it to work the other way. I hope they fix this with marshmallow or a small update. There is not reason a device should not support this in today's day and age.

And nothing, doesn't even recognize the otg. Downloaded a app off of play store to run a check on it and it come back like the turbo 2 doesn't support otg. I use it for Movies and transferring files between devices. Has anyone found a fix or at least heard anything from Motorola about it?

Went on Motorola forums and Mark was useless. Told me he would look into it and never got back to me. I did find a work around. Download USB otg file manager for nexus from the play store it works on the turbo 2. only issue is its slower then having it native in the OS. It can take 5 to 10 minutes to transfer a movie depending on size.

Its taken me awhile to get back on here. I work non stop and forget about things. I've tried multiple otg apps and this is what i got the last time. It's ridiculous. My wife has the same phone and it wont work on hers either.
Ok, this is my last post about this. I plugged the otg cored in with a wireless mouse and it worked. I have 4 different brands and sizes of thumb drives and non of them work. It seems like the phone isn't pushing out enough power through the otg cord to read the thumb drives. Any ideas?
Moto X Force here, just plugged my CorsairVoyager Go 64Gb , read and write ok
Did you grand USB Storage permissions ? If not you can read but not write
Just install ES explorer, the first time you'll try to write on the usb storage a permissions pop-up will appear and guide you through to accept sd-card write or usb-storage write
-->
if storage permissions don't work maybe Verizon disabled some OTG functions that are enable in the international version (Moto X Force) (((((((
My Turbo 2 has worked fine with OTG since day one... using a Meenova Dash Micro, shows up under "Storage" in Settings and can be accessed by any app...
Ok, im not going to let this go because it bugs me. I have four flash drives of different brands and sizes. My wife found a 2gb PNY flash drive from about 6 years ago and have it to me yesterday. I said to hell with it and plugged in the otg cable and put the flash drive in. Hell froze over quickly because it worked. It's the only one that has worked so far and I do not understand it because it's old. It's formatted in FAT. The rest of my flash drives are formatted FAT32. Anyone have a clue because I sure don't. I was going to re format my other flash drives but I shouldn't have to because my nexus and my s5 read them just fine.
If you want to copy files without changing time stamp you should use Root Explorer ou ES File Manager, works fine for me
Ok, just for a update... I gave up on this for awhile. I had been trying to use Toshiba, Sandisk and PNY usb 2.0 Flash drives and none of those would work. I had ordered a Sandisk usb 3.0 off of Amazon a few weeks back and i had forgotten that i had gotten it. I found it in my drawer and tried it with the otg cable and it worked. I tried it on my wife's turbo 2 and it worked on hers. So I've found a brand and usb type that will work with my phone so I'll stick with it.

On day 2 I took the Marshmallow OTA, tried the USB stick again (to finish watching the movie) and... no joy. After a bit of research, I believe that this is because the USB stick is formatted as exFAT, and it looks as if Moto dropped support for exFAT in Marshmallow.
I have the Droid Turbo 2, USA Verizon - and the Sandisk USB 3.0 with the dual port. The thumbdrive worked on my Kindle Fire 7", and my buddy's Galaxy Note 5, no problem. It even worked on my kindle fire when formatted to NTFS. It doesn't work on my Droid, with the MicroUSB plug, or when the normal USB 3.0 end is plugged into an OTG cable. However, if I plug the sandisk thumbdrive into a Sabrent USB 3.0 hub, plug that into my OTG cable, and plug that into the Droid Turbo 2, I can read everything just fine.
Then looks like that Turbo doesn't provide enough power to usb device or doesn't provide it at all.
But, I have Oppo portable headphone DAC amplifier HA-2 (and PM-3 headphones, awesome sound) and works out of the box with Force. Even indicate charging if I use generic OTG cable. With Oppo cable, amplifier is not draining any energy from the phone.
I'll try USB stick with Force...
