I hear that honeycomb and ics support this function. So has anyone tried this out or does this version of ics have this functionality? I'm wondering if this device can read and explore external mass storage devices such as usb thumb drives or memory card readers and such. Would definitely be a deal breaker for me when I'm due for an upgrade.

yes, and you need a proper correct usb-OTG cable.
not all cable works.
Works great on bigxie v. 5, using stickmount to mount my usb key. Haven't tried mouse etc, just wanted storage to work.
So through usb otg host we can connect a flash drive to our nexus and access files correct?
So can we plug in flash drive or hard drive and okay the music files off there??
Just curious

It will work provided you install Stick Mount from the Market. ICS has limited support for USB host mode and Stick Mount fills that void.

We dont even have USB-OTG support.. >_< And we need a propriety cord aswell..
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.
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.
