Hello,
I'm on the latest, non-rooted Nougat 32.4.A.1.54 SGP771 and can confirm there is no OTG support, though you still do get the option 'find an OTG device'. I use an original SONY OTG USB (female) to micro USB adapter, checked with at least 4 USB memory sticks all in FAT32, a mini USB mouse no luck. Also checked the connectors/ports for damage, cleaned it to no avail. The tablet charges battery and transfers data with PC flawlessly. My question is: is there any ADB command to force chceck the OTG support and/or its status?
Thanks,
Jack

Is the USB port on the ViewPad 7 limited to charging?
I inserted a USB memory (using a converter plug) but the VP7 did not recognize it. Has anyone successfully connected something to the port?

Thats's a limitation. USB port on Viewpad 7 is passive, so it can not read external sources.

I do recall someone talking about using a "USB OGO" cable to do something like what you are talking about... Look into it on "android.modaco.com" looks like a modified USB cable and a custom rom will let you attach a flashdrive to your USB port...
hope that helps...
I have one of these When You fist connect USB to PC it installs a virtual cd drive . You can either ignore it or let it install after that Plug in USB while tablet is on ,it will ask you to turn on USB storage tap turn on and SD card shows up on PC as a removable disk you can read and write to with Windows Explorer
Sorry for the Stupid Noob post I misread it.Thought you meant internal storage

No worries mate, I have been able to move files (mainly music) between my PC and the ViewPad, I just found it odd that since it will obviously act as a receiver through the USB port from a PC why wouldn't it receive directly from a USB memory? Obviously I don't know enough about how these things work.
According to some users the viewpad 7 kernel supports usb OTG where the devices acts as the host.

I played this morning with some USB cables and my Viewpad 7 and I found as follows:
1) You need USB OTG cable or USB OTG adapter with USB A female connector at one end and with USB Mini B male connector at second end - that end you should put in Viewpad 7 USB socket. With such a combination Viewpad 7 can read USB flash memories. I will try later other USB devices.
2) it worked fine on tj_style ROM and on Viewsonic stock ROM with Android 2.2.2.
3) Mouse works, but there is no cursor and the selection "jumps" from icon to icon.
4) Wireless keyboard, USB DVD player and USB hard disk do not work.
sorry for the maybe noob Q, but do I have to mount the usb memory or do i directly see the files in a folder...
I use ghost commander and cannot find the containing files...;-/
Thx in advance
--> Problem solved: It was the NTFS-Prob....With fat32 everything works like a charm...(no extra mounting...)

Simple Test report
Device: Mini Pro SK17i
Rom: Stock 2.3.4 .58
Kernel: Stock
Bought a OTG cable for Samsung yesterday, and another USB Female to Female adapter for an ordinary USB cable.
a) The female - female adapter for use with microUSB cable = FAIL. Charging function intact, no detection for any USB device.
b) OTG cable:
1. Plugged in a mouse - cursor appears on the screen immediately. Rightbutton serves as return button. Scroll function works
2. Keyboard: not tested
3. USB Lan RJ45 (works on some Android Tablets): NOT working on Mini Pro. "Unsupported USB device" appears on screen
4. USB flash Drive: Toshiba 1Gb - Unsupported
Transcend 4Gb - Unsupported
*Tried out the USB OTG patch for Arc. NO LUCK
Conclusion: Unless you want to use external mouse or keyboard on your convenience, DONT bother to use the OTG for external memory/ethernet. It would not work on current rom. The OTG function is more or less useless.
USB flash works perfectly with Q5 USB Memory Manager app, i tried to connect 4gb flash and 2 gb flashcard via card reader)
But i could not make the mouse works
Some USB Hubs are working great ! Toady i plugged an apple pro keyboard into my device which was correctly found by my St17i
after plugged a mouse into the apple keyboard and also a 8 GB intenso usb stick. All 3 devices worked at the same time, astonishing !

... and RAY also. Ray support USB storage?
I've tested an Samsung Micro-USB-Adapter (ET-R205U) on Ray (Ginger 2.3.4 stock), this week and NO result with Sandisk Cruizer 2GB USB flash drive.
Mouse and Keyb's works fine but no external usb mass storage.
I didn't test any usb hub yet. Someone of you did it?
I dont know a lot about USB OTG but there is an USB OTG apk in system/apk.
what if we replace that apk to some other gingerbread running phone's apk which perfectly runs USB OTG
have you guys tried the USBOTG ARC app that is on the market? Apparently can make USB sticks works.

OTG does not work
I have just bought a xperia u (st25i)
I have tested different OTG cables but non of them works.
in the storage menu USB storage options are not active.
the phone is manufactured in April 2012. the OS is android 2.3.7
I do not want to loose the warranty so I have not tried to root it.
should it be necessarily be rooted? or I should just try to find the proper OTG cable?

Your cable is probably wrong. If you have another device and the same cable works there, apply for RMA.
I got cable today too, and at first I thought it didn't work. After reboot I connected 16GB MS with power consumption error, so I tried a 4GB MS and it worked. Looks like I need a new memory stick or a separate powered hub between OTG cable and ms

I found a working kable. it is originaly provided for samsung but works on my Xperia U.
I was able to attach a usb hub and connect mouse and cool disk and all works fine.
Same problem
I too had this same problem. When i insert NTFS pendrive it prompt for format pendrive.
Es explorer in my nexus 9 can read and write usb2.0 pendrives bt whenever i use usb 3.0 pendrive it doesn't support it. Nexus usb file manager can read usb3.0 pendrive bt cant write in it. Is there any app to write data on usb3.0 pendrives for nexus 9

If it can read from the drive but not write then its probably a filesystem problem rather than a USB problem.
It sounds like your USB3.0 drive is using the NTFS format. If thats the case, the easiest fix would be to reformat it to FAT32.
No. It was formatted as fat32. I checked it.

I was hoping that i wouldnt need to root. Usb mouse and keyboard works fine without root.
I guess i'll stick to usb2.0 for a while.

This might sound strange, but is the USB OTG cable you're using specifically made for USB 3.0?
I've had trouble with those cables which would, surprisingly, work only with USB 2.0 drives.
Replacing the cable with an older USB 2.0 cable fixed the problem and worked fine with my USB 3.0 HDD !!
Try getting another cable.

I don't think cable is the problem. Same cable and pendrive work in my friend's mobile
But not in mine.
Hello, guys...
I have one question: how can I find out that my phone supports the USB OTG?
I have tried USB OTG checker app that told me: "Your device OS has USB OTG API!" but when I plug the USB OTG flash drive, nothing happen..
There is a also folder called "usbotg" in /storage.
Why does not it working?
