first did u check that cable is working with any other phone? If it is, then go to settings-->Storage --> then mount USB storage.. Until u mount it wont get recognized.. By default it should be mounted, but sometimes it doesnt..

no..i hvnt tried the cable with any other phone..but m getting the notification usb connector connected...and after plugging the OTG cable ive checked the storage option in setting and its not showing mount usb storage option..its not there..

Are you using the cord that came with your phone? I tried using a non se cord and had this same issue. For some reason standard cords even if they fit only allow for charging

When I plug the USB cable into the XPERIA NEO phone and then into the PC the Mount option in
the notifications never shows up. The usb cable
is fine because it does charge and the drive icon
shows up in the PC, however, when I click on
the drive it says please connect the drive. If I
pull down the notification bar it isn't recognizing
the usb as being plugged in / doesn't provide the
option to mount / unmount the device. If I go
into application settings and then development i
can select the usb debugging and when i
connect there it brings up the popup that asks if
you want to allow or not, if I select yes it does
say usb debugging connected, but again,
nothing shows up in the notification bar to
actually mount the device to the computer. The
phone was reset to "factory settings" already
and there's nothing on it apart from what came
with it right now. How do I get to mount it to
the PC and get the mount notification back in
the notifications drop down??
settings->Sony Ericsson->Connectivity:
check what is set under "USB connection mode", and if it's set "Mass storage mode(MSC)" check if you marked "Auto connect on MSC"
Hm, but even then you should get a message in notification bar
Nothing helps..
My sd card working in other phone, in same usb port with same usb wire.

Managed to fix it ??
Keep trying to use FlastTool
Required me to try like 25-30 time :O
Try different Data cables :/
Or do a factory Reset in CWM, it will get rid of the ububtu apps and drivers
Ok, all story
I installed custom zip, who broke my phone.
Reflashed phone to 2.3.3 with flashtool
Connected usb to pc, sd card working great.
I restored my backup 2.3.4 via cwm.
And thats all, usb doesnt work.
That cwm backup i made long time ago.

Clear everything (factory reset) and reflash "properly"... backing up or restoring an OS or ROM is not a great idea, integrity wise.
Agreed, since your USB working now, flash a clean firmware
Ok, i try this

[Q] plug-in and use normal usb keyboard on s3?

Is it possible to connect a normal USB keyboard, non-wireless, non-bluetooth, just a normal keyboard with the s3?
Would be handy for typing longer emails etc.
Yes, it's possible. You just need a OTG cable.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Is it also possible to use both keyboard and mouse? I can use either with Otg cable but a usb multi plug stops either from working. Is it my cheap multi usb adaptor I wonder?

From the looks of this video it should be possible to connect multiple devices.
I just tried my powered USB hub. My keyboard, mouse, flash drive, printer and my gamepad were all recognized at the same time and worked perfectly.

So it looks like a powered multi usb hub is the only way.

I have a keyboard with a built-in usb port. I can plug my wireless mouse dongle in there and attach the keyboard to my phone without issues. But I guess the technology behind this is a small usb hub as you mentioned already so it's not exactly a new way of solving this.

I wonder what the smallest most portable mouse keyboard combo is?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Logitech has some nice keyboards and mice. If you buy the ones with the orange "Unify" logo, you can use a single Nano Receiver through OTG to use the keyboard and mouse afaik.
However you'll have to pair them on a Windows/Mac computer first.
Depending on how much you like software-hacking, here's a protocol description which probably could allow you to build your own Pairing app for Android

[Q]Safely Remove pendrive in 4.0.4?

I just bought an OTG Cable for my phone and the first thing I did was to connect a USB flash drive, everything worked fine until I wanted out, there was no option to remove it safely in the notification bar or anything like that .. . hit it off and got an error saying that storage unexpectedly retired. As I can remove the USB safely?

Download "stick mount" or "AL mass storage manager" from market.
Both are free and should get the job done

I9100G usb not Recognised by Computer

Hey guys, I've got a problem where my phone isn't recognized by my computer when I connect it. It was working just fine a while ago and I didn't modify anything except copy over a few files the last time I connected it into the computer.
I'm on CM9 if that helps with anything, and I don't know what else to say but if you need more information I'll be more than happy to provide it for you.
Thanks
Try changing version specific modem.... Look for cell... Ty

Their are more then 1 reasons for your problem:-
Try to clean your gs2 USB port.
Try to insert cable in different PC USB port.
Try with a different USB cable.
and last thing if all upper things not work then change your rom with full wipe
