So I was trying to plug in my Seagate 500 gig external hard drive to my Asus K00Z. The hard drive is FAT32. it doesn't get detected on the device even though the light on the hard drive goes on. All flash drives word. Reasons and solutions, if any? Android 4.4.2 Asus firmware version 5.4.2 rooted.

When I connect my GS3 to my Asus Transformer via USB I can not see the internal or external SD card. Eventually I get a message on the GS3 that I need to download Windows software for my PC. Is there a way to simply connect these two devices via USB?
Hi,
I am not able to connect note 8.0 to an external HDD (ED) through micro-usb OTG. I think I may need a Micro USB Host OTG Cable with USB power. I just want to know whether anyone has tried it for note 8.0 and does it reads NTFS ? I think my HDD is in NTFS format and I don't want to change it to FAT 32. (Actually I don't know how to do it) Any ideas ? Any help is really appreciated
Regards,
Pushkar

Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ will allow you to access your NTFS drive without having to format it to FAT32 so you do n ot lose your data. It's Free.

The application says root is required...I am not able to figure out whether the external HDD (1 TB WD) is not working because the note 8.0 is not supplying it enough power or because it is not able to read the file system (NTFS).
Should i simply root my device & install the application or buy a OTG cable with external power port and then see whether it's a power issue ?. The problem is usb otg with external power is not available in this country (India) and amazon doesn't ships this particular product to India
Thanx a ton for all the help..really appreciate

I found That the Note 8.0 is not able to power external Hard Drives if they receive Thier power via Usb. A Powered Drive is fine. I use a Powered Usb hub to read my WD My Passport 1TB,which is also NTFS. My device is rooted and I have the paragon app installed.

IMO all may depend on power necessary to run the drive - my HDD was running ok with no external power.
So first I'd suggest rooting + ntfs app, and only if it does not work looking for powered Usb otg cable.
In the worst case you can do it yourself - in all Usb cables two external wires are for 5V power supply (same as provided by standard chargers), so it's just a matter of finding which is +/- and bit of soldiering

I can use my WD USB HDD mounted via OTG and formatted NTFS using paragon app to mount (root required). This is tested with my SkyHigh kernel.
I don't know if device natively supports it with stock kernel, but should be able to mount at least fat formatted USB HDD without root and visible with Samsung file manager.
Not real sure about the battery, but would obviously use qite a bit. I haven't tested to quantify the "bit".

I have a pair of 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus drives that I use with my tablet. I formatted them as exFAT on a Windows computer and they automount on the tablet when connected. The tablet does not provide enough power to spin the drive. I use a USB Y cable to supply extra power from another power supply.

Could ANYONE please confirm that ?
If it's true it means that a fix is possible via system files.
THANK YOU A LOT
Hi there.
I've got a ZenFone 2 and wanted to connect USB drive to my device through micro USB. It works fine at phones I had before like Xperia Z or M2 or Samsung s5 etc (and still works) but not with ZenFone 2. It's just not discoverable for it.
Why? Do I need to unlock something in options or download some software?
Is it possible that this device doesn't support this? I thought it is normal Android functionality but why not at ZenFone 2?
Any ideas?
Please see the following: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1007467/
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA
Come on, I've got ZOOAD, I guess that it's difference? I thought I buying ZE551ML... is it possible to unlock this option somehow for mine? Some additional software or whatever?

What format is the memory stick?
I use a 64gb exFAT OTG stick with no problems and the zenphone 2 should see FAT32 as default but never tried NTFS.
If you are using NTFS then you might need use a 3rd party app or reformat stick.
my ZenFone can see connected stick, but I have notification in status bar:
"Blank external storage,
No external storage or an unsupported file..."
Stick has fat32 file system and few giga files full visibility at other phones...
About software I have es file manager and root browser.
Oops, my mistake with sticks. One was really NTFS
With FAT32 ZenFone works fine now
No worries, as I said there are a few apps for reading NTFS but most cost money if they work OK. It works with exFAT too and so you can put those 4gb+ size files on whereas you can't on FAT32.
i have the zenfone 2 4GB ram and when i try to plug in my external hard drive trandsced 500 GB the phone dont see
but when i try to plug in the USB FLASH 4 GB the phone see him
why its happen to me?
Lol, it'll only read flash drives.
