Thanks for reading....
Has anyone been able to connect a Nikon DSLR (I have tried D7000) via USB OTG to their Desire X running Jelly Bean on a non-rooted phone? I have been able to connect an 8GB thumbdrive and mouse successfully but when the dslr is connected the drives are not available via ES file explorer or the images via the gallery, there are no error message the device is just not detected.
I have confirmed the cameras USB port by connecting to a standard PC successfully and I have tried the dslr with 1 and 2 SDcards in each slot in case the dual cards were causing an issue. Upon connecting the camera the access light flashes so I know some kind of connection is attempted.
USB Host Diagnostics shows the OS has support for USB OTG.
Should this work on a non rooted setup or do I need to root and install a custom ROM for full USB OTG support? Hopefully I can find a way to connect the device and use DSLR Dashboard.
Phone:: Desire X
Android:: 4.1.1
Sense:: 4+
Software Num :: 2.22.206.3
HTC SDK API level :: 4.65
Kernel :: 3.4.0-g162d501
Carrier : O2 (UK)
Thanks Again.
It depends on the filesystem used on the flash card of the camera. If it is using ntfs, you'll need root to mount the partition.

Thanks for your response, the 16GB cards are SDHC and are natively formatted to FAT32. I have also tried a FAT16 256MB card and with no card inserted. Same result as before the device isn't detected.
I will try to root the phone over the w/e and see it this helps.
Are you sure the camera gets enough power? Alternatively, get yourself a USB SD card reader and put the card in there.
ybrHous cannot
It may be a power issue, I know with portable hard drives an additional powered connection is sometimes needed. However I think the camera connection is purely used for data and the camera is operating from its own battery.
I should have said in the original post the connection will be used with the DSLR Dashboard app to control the camera remotely.
Thanks again

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.

how do i enable the OTG mode on the Galaxy SII running android 4.0.4 (resurrection remix ICS 1.8 ROM) and i have a kernal that claims its working with OTG ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574672&highlight=otg ) but when i connect my cable and usb stick ( tried other devices) nothing happens! any help would be much appreciated
I just acquired a 'micro-B USB OTG' cable myself (a cheap knock-off from eBay).
As far as USB drives are concerned, I have found that I must insert a USB thumb drive into the cable before inserting the cable into my GS2. Otherwise it will not be recognized.
When inserting the cable + thumb-drive I get these two messages:
"USB connector connected" immediately followed by
"USB Mass storage connected"
and I am able to use the USB drive.
I have successfully been able to connect a 1 GB Kingston DataTraveler II, but - oddly - not a 4GB Kingston DataTraveler. An unmarked 8GB USB drive was also recognized.
I have not been able to connect: a Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 v.1.0 (not that I need it, but just to see if it would); and neither an HP mouse. For previous versions of Android (before ICS) you can easily find information of users successfully connecting all sorts of things including keyboards, mice, and larger hard drives.
A few other important issues are:
- File format for drives must be FAT32
- Before removing the cable+drive, remember to unmount drives by opening the notification area and click on "USB mass storage connected".
that helped me out.....not what so ever.
what is OTG btw?
On-The-Go, lets you plug in USB devices like mice , keyboards, and usb sticks into your phone like a computer

If the USB is partitioned as FAT32 a nifty notification will show and you can press that and then browse.
However, if the USB is partitioned as NTFS, you should open a file manager with root access (Root Explorer or ES File manager to name a few) and browse to /mnt/ntfs/ and you should see your files there.
Note: Am only assuming this is the mount point, since looking at the kernel you are using, he mentioned gokhan for the USB OTG and I am using his kernel (Siyah)
Hello to one and all I would like some assistance with regards to a very popular issue with many so called solutions and apps which I believe shouldn't be considering any OS should be able to handle any filesystem.
The device I am using is a Phablet with Android 4.2.2 kernel 3.4.5 and the Hdd is WD My Passport 500GB Portable USB NTFS, I have rooted the device using Framaroot checked with Root checker to make sure and followed the many suggestions using app after app to no avail. When I connect the hdd to the device the light on the hdd is forever blinking making a sound as if it is trying to work but nothing happens and in the upper left corner damaged usb needs reformatting appears.
When I connect a normal Fat32 4gb Usb stick with the cable I use it works perfectly, which is the same cable I got with an older tablet with android 2. something when tablets were fairly new to the general public which worked with my usb hdd then. I have been using a kindlefirehd which has no Usb capabilities ever since so never got the chance or looked into getting the hdd to work with any other device until now. Is there any solution for this device or should I give up trying?
Please Help!
Thank You!
I can not be read from USB keys otg on my Z5 compact.

Have they "castrated" function because of micousb without flap for water?
Update
I find the Answer.
You must be activated every time the function by "connecting devices".
However I have noticed that when removing the USB is also temporarily removed the sd and applications on sd lock.
Create a shortcut for OTG
If you go to settings, device connection, usb connectivity, tips for connecting with a usb device, then press add button and you get a shortcut in the quick launch toggles.
Hey,
Sorry for uping the thread but I'm running 6.0 fw.163 and the option is missing...

You just have to put in the OTG and restart the Z5.
im using usb drive even harddrive via OTG on regular bases for backup , you need to go on connections , attached usb device
also mouse and gamepad will work, you can add shortcut to the top menu (where you can find wifi\bt etc..
you will also need FK file commander that come with the phone, or ES

In my Z5 Compact the USB OTG working if the SD card is not encrypted (option in Android Setting/Security/Encryption).
If not encrypted the USB OTG are working fine. (Note: Need to click the "Detect USB Device")
The 'Detect USB device' does not work always. Even restart does not do the job in my test with a OTG cable and a USB stic that are working well on a LG G2
Old thread but nobody is addressing this strange behavior anywhere. On my Z5 if the SD card is encrypted, the OS won't allow access to USB otg. Says a security policy is preventing usb. I must uncheck sd card encryption, remount the usb, and then recheck encrypt sd card before transferring files. It's extremely annoying .
i am having the same issues, OTG is not detecting not detecting
I have not encrypted the sd card, have you written to sony about that?
USB otg works everytime for me
BUT not with third party file explorer... ES file explorer never detects any removable drives...
