I'm using standard micro usb to usb otg cable and usb devices like mouse/kb, external hd and pendrives working fine.
Your pendrive dir should be in "/mnt/usb" folder.
If it's not there:
1. Your rom/kernel may not support usb-otg.
2. Your pendrive may need more power than your phone can give (unlikely).
3. Your pendrive has not supported partition type. Try format your pendrive to fat32.

Htc, wfs, usb, otg, wtf!
Usb otg- usb on the go.
Which means u can connect ur pendrive directly to ur phone. Same as in Nokia n8.
My friend applied the tweek successfully on his n900. His phone can now recognise the pen drive

hi all,
i have an htc one x, official updated to jb, and rooted. (stock rom, i dont want to change)..
The UBS OTG work fine. But i've see that on the samsung galaxy s3, when you connect a pendrive though the usb otg, they open automatically.
Why on the htc one x it does not make that?
what can i do?
Thanks
You could maybe do it with tasker: when an usb drive is connected, it could launch app X to view the contents.

Ok thanks. But how to d this?

I'm not an expert with tasker. I only know that it is possible. Download it and experiment.
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 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.
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

Anyone trying and getting external portable usb 3.0 based hard drive to work on N7 2013? Just wondering, mine won't do anything, no detection as in mounting.
My drive is WD passport 2tb silver.

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.
Hello guys,
This note 3 neo seems to be a good value for money...so I'm interested in...
I'm just wondering if the usb OTG is working well... I know it's usb2 and not 3...
I was so disappointed when I realized OTG doesn't work on S4 Mini I've bought to a friend of mine...

I can confirm this, not working with NTFS file system. Format drives as FAT32 only
So this feature is quasi-useless. How many people have drives still using FAT32?
Just use the Stickmount app by Chainfire and your ntfs drives should get detected fine

All you need is:
- OTG cable.
- Total Commander file manager (free)
- Paragon NTFS Plugin for Total Commander (free)
I put my old 250Gb IDE hard drive (formatted as NTFS) inside an USB enclosure and copied several files from the old drive to my Neo. I had to move the jumper on the HD from Master to Cable Select, though.
Do the usb otg pendrives work? The ones by sony and others
