Hello,
I've used my tablet with flash drives etc. with the OTG cable. Before few days the OTG stopped working.
I though it's from ES File Manager because I use this app very often and I have clicked somewhere and disabled the OTG function.
So, I made decision to pre-install my android firmware and clear everything. > I did this.
And then I put the OTG cable with the flash drive connected and then a USB mouse - the flash drive does not connect, the optic ot the mouse only lights up and then it goes off and the mouse does not work too. I tried the OTG cable on my phone (SGS 2) and it's working perfectly.
Can you guys help me to solve this problem?

Okay, I tried to connect the mouse & keyboard and finally it works
but it doesn't support usb thumbdrive
do you all mates have any method for support usb thumbdrive to extend storage???
Try looking for "USB Host controller" app. It is in market, or here, at XDA. Also, you might need to install custom kernel, which has support of USB-OTG drives. But first, try app only.
Yes, you need another app for external USB devices.
But use only those external hard drives, which use other power source, phone is too weak to give out enough power and will heat up very quickly.
USB HOST mode for sony ericsson live with walkman(wt19i)
simple, for sony wt19i. for this your phone must be rooted.
*download 1. View attachment Xperia-2011-ICS-USB-OTG-modules.zip
2. View attachment ModuleLoader-release.apk
to sdcard in your droid.
*now load all these modules in sd card using View attachment ModuleLoader-release.apk app.
thats all,
connect a pen drive using USB OTG Helper app.
your phone may be restart 2 or 3 times when you connect a pen.
but it will fix after restart.
REMBER; DO NOT REMOVE MODULE LOADER APP FROM YOUR DEVICE,
IF IT REMOVED, DO THE SAME PROCESS TO RELOAD MODULES.
sorry for bad English, hope you helped.
which 1 is for printing?
Pen drive, mouse , key board working. Usb connection on connecting printer is not shown. What is the module for printer connection? I do a lot of job from my walkman. Please help.
When you plug a USB thumbdrive to the phone, it first recognises the drive name but doesn't show any options to use it (even in file manager).
Maybe it's due to the connection type (MTP only)...
Any ideas?
Can you access your files in your USB thumbdrive using the file manager?
I'm using Astro Manager to access, and play my video files directly from the USB thumbdrive.
In fact, I just realised I can access if I keep pushing the cable to the phone... Maybe the cable connection isn't that good. I'll buy a new one.
New mission will be to enable wake using volume key which might be more difficult...
Thank you for your answer!
On my tablet , I use USB host ( full usb connection ) , which means I can plug in a pen drive , keyboard , mouse etc...

With a micro usb adaptor I assume ??

Hi.
I have a USB OTG cable for my 7500 running latest CM9 nightly and keyboard & mouse works very well with it. When I connect a USB stick I get a notification that a device is connected but I can't access it in a file manager (it look like it is empty, but it's not...)
Is there something more I need to do to get this work?
Good question!
On stock rom filemanager pops up imidiatly after connect an usb pen drive, on ICS i only get it working with "Root Manager" a file manager that can see root of filesystem and let me browse through "\USBDRIVE" folder or "\MNT\USBDRIVE".
I've got it working with this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
Hello. I'm installing archlinux-arm onto sgs2 and have one problem, which I don't yet understand.
When I connect two flash drives through usb hub to otg connect, phone sees them both.
When I run archlinux with kernel compiled from cyanogenmod hor light and simple, flash drives work when connected directly to otg. But phone doesn't see hub nor flash drives, when hub is connected.
Is there something I need to tweak in kernel config or from userland?
dear all android developer and user , i've some curiosity regarding OTG and usb host.
-> is there any difference between OTG and USB Host? i run a portable usb speaker. it can detect that. some OTG suported device does support only pen drive/flash drive+Mouse+KyBrd. does not detect any HDD/USB speaker (eg Moto E 2nd/ local Chinese brand). i just want to know the difference of their OTG system. or usb host system.
-> My moto G gives over 4 volt through OTG and that can fluently run any portable HDD without any extra power (any rom). its tested and i use a portable HDD. did you found any other set with this feature? i didnt found any.
sorry for my long post. hope u'll share ur knowledge if got enough time to reply. thanks.
