is there any1 successfully connected hdd to S2 via OTG ?
i tried 2 hdd (seagate 500gb usb2 and samsung 500GB usb3) both never work
even before and after root to 2.3.5 xxki4
mind to share which brand of hdd you tired and works ?
or share me tricks to make it happen thnx!
I think you won't be able to spin a hdd with the power of your phone. You'll need an extra Psu for the hdd. Model that come with those things. Most 2.5" doesn't, but i might be wrong.

Try formatting the drive to fat 32
I did but i did read up on it though and you do need something to power the device that ur using I.E powered hub thanks for response though

if its a flash drive, you don't need external power

Are you rooted? If so, what Rom and what kernel?
I had the same issue with the bonsai .1.5 with their 2.0 kernel. Once I flashed over Pershoot's latest, I was good again and usb key could be read/seen.

Powered hub is only needed for high-current bus-powered devices, right now the known list is:
1) 2.5" portable hard drives (of the spinning type)
2) PS3 controllers that are not fully charged
Things that do not need a powered hub:
1) Flash drives and flash card readers (Must be FAT32)
2) Fully charged PS3 controllers
3) 3.5" externally-powered hard drives (however most of these are NTFS, which presents its own challenge).
Apparently the kernel in Bonsai ROMs is severely broken with regards to USB host support.
Powered usb hub
HI has anyone got a UK link for a Powered usb hub as trying to connect a 2.5 device to my tab 10.1
Thanks

I have OTG USB host cable for Motorola Xomm. Is there any way this coulb be used with Atrix??
Don't take my answer as 100 percent. I want to say no dice on the usb host deal, but the hd dock and lapdock have usb ports for key/mouse. I think somebody mounted an external hdd but had problems. Hopefully somebody else can shed more light on this.
I voided my warranty.
It'll need a 5vdc power supply

Yeah there is a post on this already but the answer is that you just need a powered USB hub and that cable and you can use it as a host.

I know nothing about Samsung, but my Atrix works fine as USB host. All you need is powered USB hub and cheap OTG adapter. I bought one from Dealextreme (sorry, can't post links). It works great with any USB keyboard or mouse or FAT formated memory drive.

mine has no trouble reading my usb memory stick maybe something bigger needs its own external power supply
I'll give that a try, maybe i'm just being greedy and wanting too much storage!

Tried it with a double ended usb cable with one end plugged into a usb mains adapter. Worked perfectly!

From my experience so far:
A) Does need external power supply
B) Mac formatted drives don't stay connected

It depends what the external sd is and how big it is in memory size, some work and some don't.
I have a 1 tb external and it doesn't register on my phone not even if I repartition it.

sh^t im planning on getting a 1TB external HD this one in fact
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Sli...UTF8&colid=12HPR9PFUES4B&coliid=IYZBBEJ1LZLS4
i suppose i could go through the process of using OTG Cable with my Nexus 7 and then onto my phone but it's too much hard work to be honest, all i wanna do is to get music onto my phone from the external HD, this isn't good, ill have to reconsider my options unless anyone knows a better way?

Ah figured out how to use my hdd by installing an app called paragon ntfs then plugging my wired hub into my otg cable then plugging my wired extended hdd into that.
It's a very annoying process just to plug a hard drive in but it worked :thumbup:

Okay what I did was have my hub connected to the mains which is also connected to my otg cable of my note 10.1
Installed the paragon app that reads ntfc data on a hard drive (some are fat32 so don't need this app)
Then connected my external 1tb hard drive which is connected to the mains to the hub and all my files showed up on my note 10.1
Hope that's easier to understand
Oops sorry exactly the same process with a galaxy s3, get confused between forums

Is it possible for my i9100 to read an 2tb external hd (fat32)? It has an external power source but when I tried connecting it, my phone shuts down.

it is possible yes but conditions needed your phone battery is at 100 %
also you need to format the hdd in ntfs format for the phone to read and write as the fat32 is slower and uses more of ram and given that gt--i9100 lacks that kind of ram so NTFS is the answer
i tried a 2tb hdd via otg cable exceptions are samsung m3 2tb hdd was working great on the sgs2 but the seagate drive didn't seem to respond at all !
try it out and hit thanks if i helped
