Yes its true. If some usb drive consumes more power it will not work.

thats not the case. It depends on power consumption.. ive been using 8gb pendrives for my XU without problems its just the matter of which brand usb drive ur using try with some other company. Ive tested : Sandisk Cruze 8GB, Strontium Bold 8GB
I am using a 16gb flash drive working fine on my otg cable on Note 3. In order for it to work I formatted it to use FAT32 instead of NTFS. Seems android doesnt like NTFS.
Just keep in mind the limitations of FAT32 you wont be able to copy a single file larger that 4gb or maybe even 2gb onto the drive.
wait up.... there is nothing with the GB's of the pendrive u try with a low power device (all model SanDisk pendrives have no issues with otg and recently Strontium has launched OTG special versions that are fast as well as consume less power)
Mostly the devices with a flashing LED's will not work as they consume more power than the others... but there is little hack to make it work but u need ROOT and Terminal emulator .
Can u Tell more about this hack?

plug in the device into the otg cable and then the cable into the phone.
wait till the power consumption error message is displayed.
using a root explorer(e.g. es file explorer) go to the folder 'root>sys>bus>usb>devices>1-1'
open the file 'bConfigurationValue' with a text editor(es text editor in my case). It should be blank. Edit and put the value 1 and save the file.
Your device will now be mounted and the message will be displayed in the statusbar.
try this
but by the way if the pendrive is shown empty then format it to fat32 format and it'll work fine

Hi all !!
As i know, Xperia S has a build-in memory. I had unlock bootloader and install the ka room. In this room has a SD card mount feature.
Using this app to connect my phone to PC, my PC will recognize my phone as a USB.
The problem is i can not copy any file more than 4GB to my phone. Because of the partition is as FAT32, not NTFS.
So how can i copy a large file (more than 4GB) to my phone ????
You'll have to reformat the partition or split the file.
It's a known limitation of FAT32.
Why do you need a thread for this?
You can try format to NTFS, but your device can become buggy
Use a external hdd that is formatted in ntfs! With a usb otg (on the go) adapter ofc...

err.. i dont think the phone cant read ntfs (YET )
i've to make two partitions in my 16 gB UFD, so the phone can recognize it. i think the ability to read ntfs partition is done in the kernel, and none of the kernel for SXS done this (YET )
so: use hjsplit (or any archiver) if it's only for storage... or re-encode it if it's a video player.

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.
Hi, I want show you as connect external HDD to XPERIA mini pro (SK17i). This HDD is 500 GB, USB 2.0.
I made cable for external supply, but you can use a USB HUB with external power supply (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827217)
AL Mass Storage Manager - application for mounting partition: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=labs.antu.hw.storage&hl=sk
Sorry of my english...
re
Great Work!
i will try it
Does it show in the place where /sdcard/ and /system/ are shown?
nice but app will be use yo view SD/USB1/?
You can change name for mount, so for example you can see HDD/ USB flash disk in - mnt/sdcard/MEDIUM/sda1 .... but you can mounting only in mnt/sdcard folder.
Other connected media you see as sdb, sdc, ...
In application you can see - Base directory
WOW
Incredibly amazing, i wasnt thinking in purchasing the usb adapter cable, but now i think ill have my way with it
Thanks for sharing

You can use the device with the new updated version ICS 4.1.B.0.431? I already have the OTG cable identical to the video, but it only works the mouse or USB keyboard. When I connect a pen drive it does not recognize.
Nice
Where to get this adapter?. link please.. and external power source?. so 2 wires from the hard disk. one into phone for data transfer and one more for power?
I tried connecting USB memory stick, 8 GB 2.0 to my Active.
It connected and that's it. I could not access it thrue Root Browser (payed).

Did you mount partition with AL Mass Storage Manager? If yes, you try other browser manager.

The Z2 along with pretty much any Android device can mount FAT32. If you're using a USB drive you will need an OTG adaptor like the ones below.

you cant access hard drive because it uses a lot more power then a pen drive. which cant be provided by a phone. it needs an external power source.
You could try using a x4 port hub and OTG cables
Connect to mains power source
Connect handset
Connect drive
It may work but not on all devices.

well but the built in file manager still doesn't support it, I wanted to be sure.
for me works a 500gb drive without external and a 2tb with external power. could be a power issue if its without external
Doesn't the device have to support OTG? I never saw the note 3 to be advertised to support that.
2tb its a heavy load and redmi note 3 did not support admin please close this thread

Thread is old but: - Stickmount plus maybe Radon Kernel will allow access to NTFS Drives.
As long as the phone can power the drive or the drive has it's own power.
Not sure if Radon is needed but that is my setup!
