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 rechecked it. Then again formatted it. Still it doesn't work. But usb3.0 pendrive works fine in my friends chinese phone.

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.

USB Drive not reading?

I am running TnTLite 4.4 which I am absolutely enjoying but I was unable to get the USB slot to read a thumb drive. Is there a work around for this?

I found that re-booting, with the usb device already attached, usually fixs it or, going into file explorer and issuing a 'refresh' command.
what if format for USB drive. Try formatting as FAT32. Tab does not like NTFS

Thanks for all your suggestions. I will give it a try.
Did you enable USB access on the gtab? I know I had to do that on the Vegan rom. The usb will detect but you still need to enable it for use.
How do you enable it? Or do you mean turning on usb debugging.

[Q] USB port usage

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...)

Portable Harddisk to Tab

i connected a WD Essential SE portable hdd (1TB) to the Tab 10.1 via the usb adaptor and a powered usb hub. The drive is formatted to FAT32.
When powered up, the Tab shows usb storage connected but after awhile it becomes usb device unexpectedly removed. I am not able to access the portable drive at all.
Anyone can advise if there is anything I can do to make it work?
My Tab is 3G version with Android 3.1 with baseband P7500UBKG6.
Thanks.
me too...
any solution guys?
I presume you need to have a seperate power supply since the tab seems to refuse to use high-power usb devices all together.
I tried connecting my disk dock and that worked fine(uses a normal power supply on the side)
got it to work by using Broodcomb ROM and using [email protected] manager to format the harddisk to FAT32, not sure which one cause it to work. The setup is the same as before.

OTG support on wt19 lww

Hii guys i recently got to know that lww got otg support
And i tried attaching usb pendrive with otg cable..it keeps saying unsupported usb device attached
I tried usb host controller..there its showing pendrive attached..but no option to open it.Does our lww support usb pendrive with otg cable????
Install custom kernel that support it or custom rom.
Stock LWW has full support for it. No custom stuff needed.
USB flash drives have to be FAT32 format. Also, do not use external hard drives which take power from USB or you might mess up the phone's hardware.

Then what is the use of saying otg support in specs?..if we need hacks to use it

I used OTG cable with LWW
I used custom kernal, but the unsupported USB device found message whenever i connect the pen drive,
Then i found Q5 application in XDA, but now i can't able to find now. Just google it.

Dude the someguyfromhell saying that pendrives work by making pendrive in fat32 format..so i am waiting for reply from him to confirm the procedure
Calm down, I am not 24/7 online on the forum.
From what I know, then Android only supports FAT32 USB sticks. Yes, you have to format it to FAT32 first on computer and then try again.
Also, you might need another file manager to explore the contents of the USB stick.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the app. Try searching on Google.

Just usbotg.apk will not work. Other libs and files are also needed.
Also, stock WT19 requires no modifications, except that app to explore usb sticks.
