I have used a USB stick with many different Samsung phones, and when the USB stick is inserted, a window pops up on the phone, and you can transfer files back and forth.
My friend's V10 works this way.
But on my V20, and now V30, there is no response at all to inserting a USB stick. If I connect The V20 or V30 to a PC with a USB cable, files can be transferred as expected. But inserting a USB stick doesn't work.
I've tried various settings on the phone (multi-media host, etc) and nothing changes it.
Has anyone else tried this? Can you read a USB stick?
Could you try going to Settings>Storage and see if you can see the USB stick there?

Thanks for your suggestion. The storage screen shows internal memory and an SD card, but not the USB stick. I posted this same question a year ago about the V20, and didn't get much feedback then, either. Maybe it's not common for people to use a USB stick with their phone.
Maybe try one of the usb otg reader apps on the play store

Thanks for the app suggestions. I tried a couple OTG readers with no success. Stickmount sounds promising, but it requires root, so I can't try it just yet.
Could you please try with an external harddisk and let us know if that works?

Mine works. When I put drive in, it asked how I wanted to recognize the usb device (Charge, power supply, media, photos, etc). I kept it on power supply and my drive is mounted and available.
There might be a couple things to look at...
1. Is your dongle/cable data capable? WIth USB C, there are some differences with USB 2/3 and only charge capable.
2, Have you tried messing with the developer settings for USB? You can try to force it to data instead of charge.
What file system is the USB flash memory formatted for?

Thank you.
I use one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AUKU1OO/
and my phone recognizes USB flash drives with no issue.
i have a note 5 and V20 and now the V30 (well i just got rid of the note 5 and v20 but had did testing on both ports previously).
i have a usb to otg cable. i also have a RTL-SDR device. from the play store i downloaded the rtl-sdr driver and sdrtouch app (did this to all my phones).
the rtl-sdr dongle was not recognized on the V30 and i would really love to know how to fix this.
the v20 and note 5 and currently my note 3 all worked with no problem.
i wonder since i now have to use my lg g5 type-c to female micro-usb adapter that it makes it not work correctly?
maybe we need a usb 2 otg cable that has usb type-c on the end?
otg or host mode not working 100%
Hi,
just got my V30 plus H930DS (nice shiny blue actually ) and plugged in a couple of usb flash drives and a multi adapter card reader and nothing.
But... just picked a AUKEY USB 3 to USB-A adapter cable and instantly recognised a 4gb flash drive.
Tried another 16GB flash drive but got a message about needing to fix it. As there was not much on there I said yes, warning that everything will be deleted, then 2 seconds later, message says its ok and now working fine for copy copy/paste.
The flash drive was formatted by the phone to FAT32 (it was ntfs before)
I also tried exFAT formatted from windows and that worked so that would help with >4GB files.
The bottom line is that you need a good make cable which is specifically for USB-3 and either FAT 32 or exFAT. Best bet is to plug in the flash drive and if the phone wants to format it then do it that way.
Just a heads up, i know both the samsung OTG adapter and the pixel 2 OTG adapter work with the v30. I use them myself.

Only the V30+ comes with some goodies, which is the B&O play headphones. I get to unbox all the new phones as part of my job and I end up with adapters from all sorts of devices.
I prefer the Pixel OTG as it works with a case on and seems very durable.
All of my OTG drives, which I used on my HTC M8, work on the V30 also. If it doesn't tell you it's working, go to settings and mount it.

As some of you know, I could get USB host to work on the release candidate of HoneyComb but not on the final release (3.55.405).
This morning I thought I would try again, my flyer was turned off (completely shut down) when I plugged in my portable hard drive (Seagate 120 gig using the Y cable one to a power supply the other to a USB micro USB adaptor).
I then booted up the Flyer … low and behold there it was. Shows up as USB in Astro but, does not show in Root Explorer.
I was able to watch my movies and play my music from the hard drive.
It seems like the flyer with latest HoneyComb will only see USB peripherals at boot time.
Great news!
If you care to try some other configurations, I'd love to get your results when using a usb keyboard or mouse?

It works perfectly fine without rebooting. The only thing is that you have to umnount before unplugging. It worked for me even with one 1TB Harddisc.

I don´t use a custom rom I use the HC stock rom. You have to have the "/mnt/sdcard/usb/" folder. If you don´t have it, create it. I use only as I mentioned a 1 TB Harddisk and I used also two different kind of 8GB USB Flashdrives with a Y-Cable with external powersupply and a Nokia OTG Cable.
They work all perfectly fine. Only I had to unmount the devices before I unplugged otherwise I needed to reboot as well for a another usb device.
I didn´t try any other peripherals.
I am not a "tecfreak", just an average user who likes to tinker and mess around with his gadgets. If you have any further question I can help you with, Please ask.
P.S.: before I used the Nokia Cable, I used another Micro USB Male to USB A Female Cable and that didn´t work, so If it doesn´t work for you than it might be caused by the wrong cable. ????

Been doing some more testing … I noticed (when using the Y cable on my drive) that when I power up the hard drive the charging light on the Flyer comes on.
So, somehow power is back feeding to the OTG cable.
This leads me to believe that it may work better (like Elfuente stated) with a different cable.
Perhaps the Nokia cable does not have the charging pins
Ps: I noticed that on my Y cable … one is labeled Power+Data the other is labeled Power
I had a rather long message typed about this but the browser crashed, I'll possibly retype most of that later, but for now suffice to say that cables are singnificant in these setups.

Ahhh there you are I was hoping you would show up. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be you. Do I smell another hardware hack?
Keeping in mind my abilities in this field are very limited but, I was thinking … if I could come up with a battery pack for a portable hard drive I could (with the proper cables) then just plug it in and have the ability to read and write to it.
Maybe another hack for an adapter to provide power from a battery with usb connector or mains usb charger but it should actually be fairly trivial to implement, so maybe a schematic also for anyone who is remotely comfortable with soldering.
The big difference between OTG and other usb modes is that pin 5 is electrically significant. When grounded it indicates to an otg capable device that it should go to OTG-A mode (OTG equivalent of host mode), when floating it's ignored and the device will not detect a connected device.

That´s exactly what I do. I travel a lot and was used to carry a netbook with me. Now I changed to the Flyer and use the external 1TB Harddisc with a BatteryPack as external powersupply (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B003ZV1A1Y).
As I already mentioned: It works fine for me.

Thanks for this.
I ordered one of the Nokia cables and if it works for me.
I’ll then take both apart (drive and battery) and mill up a case to mount both of them in.
This only works with honey comb right?
and by the way, the disc has to be formated wit fat32.
... and yes I formated a 1TB harddisc with fat32, look here; http://www.thetfp.com/tfp/tilted-te...-formatting-large-hard-drives-32gb-fat32.html
Today, a friend asked if I had an extra laptop. He needed one for his 10 year old son.
While rummaging through my closet (you know, the one with all the old computers, shotguns, and half empty Jack Daniels bottles) when I found one of these.
Two Pics … http://db.tt/GY4wfof6 and http://db.tt/rzkodoMi
Now, I have no idea as to how, where or when I got this. I had to search the net to even know what it was.
Ebay link … http://www.ebay.com/itm/230328510631?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648
Continuing my search of the closet I also found a 2.5 inch 160 gig IDE hard drive. Assembled the two and I now have a portable battery powered drive that works great with my Flyer.
That looks kinda old school. =)
So you connect to the flyer via bluetooth or microUSB?
It connects with microUSB.
Now that I’ve had a chance to use it a while I’ve found I can set its switch to PC or DC.
When set to PC I just plug it in to my Flyer and can copy files both ways.
When set to DC it will function as a standalone unit (because it has its own battery power). I can plug thumb drives and USB sdcard adaptors into it to move files both ways.
It will even plug into my camera and copy the pictures.
Kind of handy as the Flyer doesn’t supply power at its microUSB port to spin a hard drive.
It’s not what I call well built but seems to work.
At least it does the job! I didn't know we could use OTG harddrive for the flyer...
That's very cool. Vastly increases the number of movies I could take with me on a long trip!

Ok so spent about £40 on one of these and it doesn't work with my Flyer(32GB WiFi 3G). Flyer is not rooted and running the latest official version of HC. I have tried both DC and PC but device still does not detect the OTG drive. My samsung mobile finds the device fine.
Are you using a standard micro usb cable ??

Try this ... Shut down your Flyer (make sure Fast Boot is unchecked in settings) then turn on your drive in DC mode and restart your Flyer.
Your Flyer should find it then and will work from then on.
Using your file explorer of choice you should see a new folder called USB
Hi, tried this but still no go. Ran a USB host and USB OGB diganostics app which still fail to detect the device. The drive works with my camera/Samsung phone and brothers PSP. May have to fork out for WIFI drive.
Still no go with the OTG device. Tried with a friends Flyer and same results. I am going to try this device, is fairly cheap.

I have an OTG cable from my samsung but this did not work. what OTG cable are you using? I gather you are connecting the USB device into the OTG cable via a powered hub?
Got it working but it's a hackjob, was going to root but having to downgrade then upgrade again was a pain and was not guaranteed to work. Tried running the OTG cable into a powered hub but for what ever reason would always come up USB device not recognised when plugging in any memory device. Tried 3 USB hubs with the same result. Ended up cutting up an OTG cable and a few other USB cables so I could provide power to the device and then power to the tablet as well. For whatever reason i need to provide power to he memory stick before plugging into tablet. I have tested 4 different memory pens and 1 external harddrive and they all work.
I just bought a generic OTG cable, its about 6 inches long. I think it may have come from HP. I have used both a powered hub and a y-usb hard drive cable and both worked for me.
You have to have power on the device before you plug it onto the FLyer so that on connect the Flyer software knows what type of device it is and can load the driver. Otherwise the Flyer will label it unknown and disable the device.
Managed to get USB on the go to work on my Jetstream. See the following post. as the flyer very similar, should work for flyer too.

Hello there,
unfortunately, I couldn't get USB OTG working, even though it should support it according to various spec pages.
My setup is following: LG G5 <-> USB Type C to Micro USB adapter <-> Micro USB-OTG adapter (2.0) <-> USB 2.0 thumb drive (see attached picture)
The light of the drive is not lighting up. So maybe the G5 isn't powering the device?
I've tried three different USB-OTG adapters without success. All three are working on a G4 as well as on a Nexus 7 (2012) flawlessly.
The USB Type C to Micro USB adapters should work as well. Charging (normal and QuickCharge) is working perfectly fine, even ADB does as it should so the data pins should be connected. However, both adapters lack D+ and D- pins for USB 2.0 on one side. This should not be a problem, though. (see attached picture)
Did somebody succeed in using OTG in a similar setup?
The usb c to micro adapter is your problem

I have the same issue so i used the usb type c to micro adapter on an usb cable and it connected to my computer just fine and i could transfer data is it still the the adapter?
You do know they have started releasing type c OTG cables and adapters without the need of converting from micro usb to type c, right?
See the pictures below. These are just some of the types you can get, soon enough there will be more types of otg and more adapters for type c usb
If not then see the links provided
According to their titles, it says that they comply with 3.1 specs..

I am aware of those adapters, I just hoped I would be able to use my OTG adapters I already had at home. I'll try to buy one later that year and will report back which one's working…
Hello, sorry for my english, i'm from germany! But i have found the problem, why you can't connect to the usb storage! If I disconnect my sd card in the settings and connect my otg device, i can find the usb stick! My lg g5 can only connect one device in time!
Not the adapter ...
I was on lineage OS until end of May and did not get the OTG working with any adapter what so ever.
OTG worked with the Stock Kernel and now I am running Resurrection Remix' version of April 8th 2017. Since Resurrection Remix is based on lineageos - as expected - the OTG got broken in later Resurrection Remix releases.
So something weird happened in the firmware between April 8th and now.
This one works perfectly.

I've already poked our G5 maintainer about it and he'll investigate the issue when he gets back from vacation in a bit over 2 weeks. It has to be something that LOS changed upstream and he'll try to work it out when he gets back
The same issue here. When I first time connected OTG adapter G5 showed notification about charging and when I clicked that it could be changed to multimedia device or something similar. It connected the USB key successfully but disconnected few seconds later. Never ever got this notification again when connected any other USB keys. Nowhere in the settings can be found any USB options.. Any idea how to fix this?
I have the same issue.
I have a number of usb c otg adapters and devices. Like cameras (endoscope). Drone telemetry receiver. Programmable LED spinner that uses an android app.
All of these things worked in the past. Connecting to my LG G5 resulted in a popup where I would choose which app to run.
Now when I plug anything into the usb port using an otg configuration, nothing pops up. Nothing happens.
Phone still charging ok via usb.
Hello all
I finally gave up on OTG, after having bought 8 so-called LG G5 compatible OTG adapters for half a fortune
BUT for everybody who is in the same big despare as I was, I - by chance - finally found a great solution for myself.
"SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick" with integrated WiFi (mine has 32 GB), provides copying, streaming and whatsoever to your phone - simple and simply genius.
see also:
https://www.sandisk.co.uk/home/mobile-device-storage/connect-wireless-stick
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sandisk.connect
Plug it into the PC and use it like a normal USB stick and connect to Phone via WiFi and optionally share with other mobile devices.
For home internet you can even use the stick and WiFi at the same time. Whoever invented this gimmik may have been aware of all our issues.
Just works like a charm. Unbelievable!
Instead of waiting "til kingdom come", stop posting, complaining, waiting - at least I will stop, because obviously nothing's going on in this direction.
A little Addition: when you have IP-config (or similar) installed on your LG G5 and you open IP-config
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paksoftwares.ipconfig&hl=en
then connect the WiFi of the PC to the SanDisk Stick and type the gateway-address shown in IP-config into the URL-line of your browser
You can then transfer data between phone and PC directly via the SanDisk Connect WiFi stick ... how cool is that?
Mine works fine. Had issues with certain kernels though...

Still same Problem in RR.
The Adapter works in TWRP version 3.1.0.0 but in the newer versions also not.

my experience
I am using the stock Android OS 8 on an LG G5 from Fido in Canada, specifically the “LGE LG-H831” variant according to the Google Play Store. I have a microUSB plug↔full-size USB Type A socket USB OTG adapter from StarTech that works with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but I needed a USB Type C plug↔full-size USB Type A socket USB OTG adapter now that I have switched from the Galaxy Note 3 to the LG G5. I bought five of this model of adapter (in red colour) on eBay for only around 5 CAD total including shipping from Asia to Metro Vancouver, Canada, which took between 20 and 30 days but buying this type of product on eBay from Asia cost way less than buying it locally:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/283235483653
Sorry, I got ahead of myself in writing my story because I am tired and I did this USB OTG stuff at least a week or two ago by now. I have two models of microUSB socket↔USB Type C plug adapters, one black one from StarTech and one white unbranded one that may have been included with the LG G5 but I do not know for certain because my father gave me this LG G5; I am not the original recipient/user of this LG G5. I could not get any of the USB devices I tried working with the LG G5 with these two types of adapters connected together. I tried with a USB SSD, a USB keyboard with a microUSB connector (so actually using only one adapter in this case), a USB keyboard with a normal full-size USB Type A plug, and a USB↔Ethernet adapter. That is why I searched the Internet and found this topic. Then the adapters I linked above arrived. With the adapter I linked above, all of the USB devices that did not work (other than the keyboard with the microUSB connector) now seem to work with the LG G5. I was not able to network the LG G5 via Ethernet in the time I had available to spend on that project but I think this was only a software problem because the hardware seemed to be working. When I say the USB devices did not work with the LG G5 with the old adapters, I mean nothing seemed to happen when I connected the USB devices to the LG G5 using the old adapters. With the new adapter, the USB devices seem to work when connected to the LG G5 without any special action. I upgraded the stock OS on the LG G5 from Android OS 7 to Android OS 8 before I began seriously using the LG G5 because I did not want to lose the time customising the software if the in-place upgrade of the OS failed. Almost all of my experience with the LG G5 is with the stock Android OS 8, not Android OS 7 nor earlier versions. I have not and will not try to replace the stock OS on the LG G5 because I had a bad experience with replacing the OS on the Galaxy Note 3 even after I reverted to the stock OS. My LG G5 seems to still be unrooted, which seems to not matter in practice for my use case so far.
I purchased a USB 3.1 docking station model T3527-VIII+ from ineo on Amazon. USB 3 to type C adapter comes with it. I use the adapter with my LG G5 RS988 without a problem. Devices are: regular USB drives, USB keyboards and USB mice.

Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,
Goat

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

This adapter saved me and my old sandisk flash drive back talking again.

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
Does out tablet support otg and charging at the same time?
Tried by using hootoo ht-u001 type c adapter and a sd card, otg is disabled once the charger is plugged in.

Do you have a native firmware MIUI?
You can experiment, first connect the charging going to the hub, and then the periphery of the USB flash drive or keyboard and mouse..
and then vice versa, first the periphery and then the power to the hub
on my tablet with micro us it mattered... Can you try different variants
I guess you will need something like the one in the link below that supports USB Power Delivery.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...469.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3b144c4dDoroZN
It is mainly for Macbooks but it is compatible (according to the sellers) with most Smartphones and Tablets that use USB Type-C.
I just ordered one for a project so I'll know in several weeks (when it arrives from China) if it works with the Mi Pad 4.
Update: I've just checked the hub you used and it is also with USB Power Delivery... oh well let's see if I'll get lucky or...
anyone have success with this? i have a few adapters and hubs that work with everything else but not the pad 4.
