why tv can't read or open storage of samsung devices?
i've tried connecting my wife's tab 3 7.0 on our tv via usb, but it won't show the device storage to play movie files. if only it has a usb otg feature, to transfer files on flash drive then no need to connect it directly.

started with a galaxy tab 2 (7 inch) and tried to mount it via usb transfer, tried adb, tried aft mode, mtp mode, nothing, absolutely nothing connected.
puzzled, i thought it was the weird proprietary specific usb cord, and returned the tab 2.
then i bought the galaxy tab 3 ( still 7 inch ), and happily connected it to my computer. nothing. no adb, no file transfers, no mass storage, no possible way to root, flash, or chance anything on this device. yes, i tried another computer, which is also a mac. the first mac is a (intel model) hackintosh (but flashes/mounts/transfers just fine from all 4 of my android phones), but the second machine is a mac mini (intel model), and fails also.
both of these tablets are shown in system preferences as "ANDROID DEVICE blah hoo filly" or whatever, but will not mount their internal or microsdcard storage locations on the macs.
yes, i've tried the AFT app. it doesn't 'see' the tablets either.
question:
is this typical of samsung, or android tablets in general, since my phones all work fine ?
how can i fix it so that adb, file transfer, and all normal usb things work with my tablets ?
please don't tell me to buy an ipad. this is for my kids, and i really don't want them starting on ipads.
Did you try to install Kies for Mac?

How To Get Windows 8.1 To Recognise USB Mass Storage On Your Phone​
I have had the problem for ages that when I connected my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360 into my Windows 8.1 PC nothing happened - Windows 8.1 simply refused to recognise the device - not even anything in device manager - nothing - nada
However it would recognise the phone if I set the phone to download mode - but I want to use my phone as mass storage
Well after months of trying I finally found a really stupid solution
Solution
Install the usb drivers for your phone as normal
connect the phone to pc via usb cable (nothing happens other then a few beeps as normal)
now plug in any usb dongle that you have already installed on your pc - like a usb wireless mouse dongle
suddenly windows detects the phone and you can now set your phone to mass storage from the phone status bar
Every time you want to connect your phone in mass storage just plug it in then plug in the other usb dongle after

it maybe the brand of laptop too and the chipset of the laptop - there have been lots of problems with usb devices with windows 8.1 and inbuilt bluetooth too although manufacturers quickly released new bluetooth drivers as the windows 8 ones didnt work in windows 8.1
so this is just for those who have problems with their particular laptop
Similar Issue with Samsung Galaxy S
I had a similar problem when I needed to copy some files onto a Galaxy S. In the past, I had to ensure that USB Debugging was off, connect the USB cable and then select Mass Storage on the smartphone. Win 8.1 Explorer did not see the device although it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android in Eject Media and Device Manager had the phone listed under Universal Serial Device. I was able to access the phone on one laptop by selecting Samsung Kies as the connection method (showed up in Explorer under the device type rather than a drive letter) but this did not work on another laptop.
The steps described in "How to connect Android devices to PC with USB Mass Storage Mode" on device-recovery.com worked for me on both Win 8.1 laptops: enable USB Debugging, connect the phone, pull down the status bar, tap on the USB Connected entry and then Mass Storage.

What you said will not work for this phone because when you plug it into a windows 8.1 laptop the option to select connect to mass storage in status bar is not there - It just shows the phone as charging
The only way iv found on a windows 8.1 laptop with this issue (note it depends on your hardware to weather you have this problem) is to plug the phone into the laptop then plug any other dongle in - the option to then connect to mass storage suddenly appears in the status bar and you can connect as normal

Hello everyone!
I have got a Galaxy S4 Mini (I9192) and I try to connect my PS4 controller to it, in order to use PS4 modded remote control app, but the phone does not recognise it. I use CM13 latest build by @csendre , custom kernel by @DarkFrenzy and TWRP 3.0.2-1 by @ne0zone75 as well, but I cannot control the phone through my controller. Inside TWRP, in mount option, I cannot enable USB OTG, and using OTG Troubleshooter app, it has crosses on two last lines (not recognized by Linux and not recognised by Android). I have also connected USB flash drive without any luck... So, is there any way to use USB OTG or is it a hardware limitation of the phone?
Thank you a lot!

I did not use a controller with the S4 mini, however I used USB OTG functions with no issues, but you need to supply power so use a Y cable. Our hardware can not supply power through the USB port
i want to connect my watch to pc because i dont have android phone
Boot your PC with android-x86 (from a USB drive)
You could pair it with a pc but all it would do would be connect and disconnect. No data will transfer between the two and none of the useful features of the watch will work.
