mouse and micro sd card via card reader is working except my 16gb usb and i tried with every format but still the same result phone restarts !! any reason or seggestion please ??
you said that is working...so i think that can be the 16gb sdcard that can be corrupted or damaged i think so...also try installing original software
I have a strange request, it has happened that after removing a usb drive, the phone no longer recognizes photos and music stored to sdcard?
With es file manager I see the files, but there isn't in galley or music
Anyone can help me??

Follow up on USB Host
I too am using an HTC One X running 4.1.1
I've got an OTG cable and have tried connecting a thumb drive and card reader. Both work. The drives are visible and accessible on the phone. That's USB storage which isn't the same as USB Host, but it shows that the port is active.
I can plug in the dongle for a wifi mouse, it too is recognised and I'm able to use the mouse to navigate around on the phone. This, as far as I understand, is actually USB Host in action.
The problem arises when I try to connect a DSLR and use a camera controller app like Helicon Remote or DSLR Dashboard. The app doesn't recognise that the camera is connected.
What's the difference between the wifi mouse and the camera?
Thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
In fact, there is a problem that any USB storage device on the phone creates the following folder structure:
/ storage / usb / Android / data / com.htc.album / .thumbnails /
Then create multiple copies, can be found in the internal memory, same-path, including folders that contain thumbnails, but empty.
So because of these being used constantly sticks, so when the capture traces of the settings, then any writes to the phone to choose from, but it can not happen, but the capture button will be disabled, but only while again not I step into the menu.
The above mentioned directories erased because the phone reboot always create them again.
If the phone was not rebooted since I've used it and the flash drive has been physically removed it, then if I connect again, it appears no file until you restart the phone.
ya i have the same problem...im using 4.2.2 custom ....and when i use my otg cable n plug my usb it works the 1st time then if i disconnect the connect it back or use another usb it wont work unless i restart my phone....not sure why its not working....but it works for samsung note 3 i tested on my friends phone...

[Q] “USB Storage damaged. It may need reformatting” error message on OTG

Hello everybody,
I have the following problem appearing recently:
Whenever I connect a USB stick through OTG cable to my Galaxy Note II I always receive the message “USB Storage damaged. It may need reformatting” in the status bar, no matter which stick or other mass storage device I'm using. On my PC, the files are perfectly visible.
I didn't tamper nor change anything on my phone, it's been running the original Samsung ROM, rooted but otherwise unchanged, for the last six months.
Could any of you help? I explored several threads with reference to the same error message on other Android devices here and in other Android forums but none of them matched this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have you tried smaller sized USB sticks?
Because my 1 terabyte SeaGate hard drive works but turns off because it needs more power.

Yes, I tried with a 1GB and a 4GB sticks that worked quite well on OTG last week.
Both these sticks still work well on my PC.

It wasn't.
I did tick it but it doesn't change anything in the behaviour.
(BTW, thank you for taking the trouble to help me!)

No problem helping :highfive:
Well, I had no problems with USB OTG yet (except the 1 tb)
I suggest you factory reset or change the OTG cable.

I tried the cable as well...
Factory reset is a bit radical.
Does anyone else have an idea?

Hi I had the same problem. I found the solution myself. Android doesn't support NTFS format actually. Format the USB with fat32. There u go. :good:
Use NTFS mounter app.....it needs root....
The problem is caused by kernel and USB drivers. Depends what kind of ROM is installed on your phone.
Some of the ROMs dont recognize big variety of card readers. Now I am using some cheap china phone,
so i had hard time to find the correct SD card reader.
Before, I was using Paranoid Android on Nexus 7, I didnt have problem with mounting any size of card, any kind of card reader.
Try different card readers , play around, you will fing the way.
:good:
I have the same problem but both the cable and drives work fine on my Verizon G3 but not on my T-Mobile G3 running 6.0.1 mm based Turbo ROM.
My S5 suddenly refused my Usb Otg drive for no reason. It was working fine. It also corrupts the drive so BE VERT CAREFUL before connecting any mass storage to Android. Why is that?

Try Totalcommander and USB Stick Plugin-TC, on stock 4.4.2 it works flawlessly.
Are you looking for the usbStorage folder under /sdcard? That's where StickMount will mount the drive. It also requires root.
It could be that the cable is defective or otherwise not compatible.

I use an OTG USB stick and it works with no issues... It detects it after a few seconds scanning it and opens up in file explorer...
Haven't tried mouse.
I have an Eaget 64gb OTG usb stick....
Mouse works just fine
I have used an other cable. Now works fine.
i have same issue with you
does changing the otg cable really fix this problem?
