Phone Hangs when USB OTG Cable is attached, PLEASE HELP! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I am really confused why my phone hangs when the USB OTG cable is attached...
Last things I have done before this occurred were; Rooting, CWM, and using the app External 2 Internal (swapping app from Google Store)...
Tried already the following (but failed to address the problem):
- Installed three different custom ROMs thru CWM
- Reverted back to "all" stock thru flash tool
- Used different/other USB OTG cable
Below is the screenshot of the specs of the phone:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My query, is this Android phone that supports OTG has a built-in driver to host any device attached to the USB OTG cable accessory?(as like to Windows computer that needs a driver to recognize or open ang USB device)... Because mine might be accidentally removed or corrupted...
I am very confused of what caused the OTG cable to hang/freeze the phone when attached... I am afraid this might be a hardware problem already but still very confused due to USB Mass storage and Recharging work perfectly...
Maybe anybody here can help me, please.......

Need help... =(

Hope some expert can help...

[Q] Connect via USB but microSD card is not shown?

I have a Mac and in the past, I can connect my HTC Thunderbolt and Motorola Triumph to the Mac via USB and the microSD card inside each device will be automatically shown on my Mac. No driver needed.
However, with the Samsung Note, when I do the above, NO microSD card is shown. The Note does show "MTP Connected".
Is there anything I need to do different to have the microSD card shown in my Mac when connecting my Note to the Mac via USB?
Nobody?
UPDATE: Samsung Galaxy Note DOES NOT ALLOW USB storage mode.
If you were able to AND you are using STOCK ROM, show it to me.
I guess no one transfer large files via USB... i.e. multiple files in Gb's...
Its under Settings - wireless - USB
Don't mess with USB when you can get a great wifi transfer app for under 2 bucks:

usb is much faster for large amounts of files.
And AirDroid is free, why pay?

any 1 please help me !
I would try a couple things 1. uninstall the drivers for your phone on the pc then re-install them WITHOUT plugging in your phone first, windows drivers can cause issues. 2. Try connecting with USB debugging enabled on the phone 3. Try a different USB port or the original cord the phone came with some cords don't work with Kies. 4. If it still doesn't work check the Galaxy S 3 forum(make sure you have the right one there are different ones for different carriers.) I'm sure your not the only one with this issue and an answer could be in your phones forum.

[Q] Phone won't connect to PC - FIXED

Hello, any idea what could be causing this?
When I try to connect my SGS3 to pc, I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But when I try to connect my fathers sgs3, I get this:
Could it be a motherboard problem? I took my phone to warranty and they said they found no problems on the USB port, and installed new firmware or something. (Also they changed my headphone jack because it was also faulty)
The phone charges fine using USB.
Thanks.
E: The phone still gets "Hardware id is missing" error but meh.
Fixed!
What I did:
1) Went to device manager and uninstalled all the USB controllers/drivers that had a error sign on them
2) Disabled windows automatic driver install (not sure if necessary)
3) Used another usb port, one behind my computer
4) Bam, it works.
I've been 3 months without able to use USB on my phone now, even took it to warranty.
Feels quite great man.

Recover Oneplus 5 Broken Screen Data

Hi,
My screen touch is broken, and I'm stuck at this step :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
So I decided to buy an OTG cable to connect a mouse, but the mouse does not turn on... I only want to recover the data from the phone. Could you help me please, it's very important for me ? Debugging is not enabled
@zaki_law
If this phone supports USB OTG ( will say OTG got enabled in Android's Settings -> System -> Advanced Option -> OTG Storage ) then you can recover data. Using a OTG cable you can enable USB debugging.
Click the mouse to unlock your phone and turn on USB debugging on Android's Settings -> Developer options
Connect the broken phone to the computer and the phone will be recognized as external memory.
From the computer, open the file folders of your phone and copy the photos, contacts, videos, music that you need to the computer
Thank you for you answer, but as I said, the mouse doesn't turn on when I plug it to my phone.
Nobody to help me ? pls

OTG + Charge with Y microUSB cable

Hello! OTG works fine with the Y cable, but the phone refuses to charge whatever i do. Is there a way to activate the charging while in host mode?
This is the kind of cable i'm using.

I think it would be a way to upload a modified kernel, that would allow this, but i have no experience with compiling kernels. Is there something already available for the Redmi 5 Plus?
Thank you!
I managed to get it working. This is how, maybe it will help somebody.
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader.
2. Then install a custom recovery, i went with OrangeFox
3. After that i installed LineageOS 18.
After the ROM instalation everything works perfectly. I now have OTG and the phone is charging at the same time.
I needed this old phone to run OctoPrint for my 3D printer, instead of buying a rasberry PI 4, which is expensive at the moment and lower spec than the Redmi 5 Plus. So this is a huge win, as i already had the phone and it was collecting dust. Until now.
