I bought a dual thumbdrive and loaded it with some movies. Can the P769 read it? If installed ES File Explorer (both versions on google play) and it only finds sdcard0 and external_sd.
Anyone out there?

It will not since the p769 does not support usb otg

Hello, I am having a problem getting my galaxy tab 10.1 to recognize a usb flash drive I have connected via an adapter. I know it works because it detected a wireless mouse I connected to it, and it shows up when I use dmesg or lsusb in the terminal. The thing is that none of the file explorers I've used (Es, Astro) are able to detect the files I have on it. The usb drive is formatted to fat32; would it be more likely to detect it if I formatted it to ext3 or ext4?
Maybe you need to use this?

Thanks so much for showing me that! I went through at lest five other apps that didn't work before trying this. :victory:
Hi; I flashed CM10.1 04.06 ROM, and I found OTG doesn't work on it.
I have a OTG cable, a flash disk with FAT32 and I looked for the files in it with file explorer app.
Is there something I missed?

Hi,
I have no problem using OTG for both wireless mouse and a flash drive with FAT32.
It seems, that something might be changed in a futur release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43368051&postcount=394

I just installed "OTG Helper" but I didn't see any help at first.
So I opened file explorer I found in "/storage" there is a new folder named "drive1".
It is my flash disk. What happened? Because of the helper??
OK, sorry if my terminology is incorrect but you should get the gist of what I'm asking.
Let's get this out of the way though, because of how I use my N9 I absolutely *CANNOT* root it, too many apps that I use daily will not work on a rooted device!
OK, so what I want to know is what is the best file browser for USB OTG support and is there a way that a USB OTG drive can be auto-mounted so that applications, e.g. VPlayer, Comic Rack, can see it as a drive and read the contents?
I have tried Antek Explorer Ex and File Commander and they don't appear to see the USB drive. ES File Explorer can see the drive but I'm not a big fan of the interface.
I know there is Nexus Media Importer but is that a "normal" file explorer too? Will it also automount the drive into something readable by other app? (I don't mind paying for apps if they do what I want)
Thanks
not rooted. most apps won't end up showing whats on the drive. Stock android doesn't mount drives (trust me I wish they did - similar to how samsung does) not sure if you need root for Nexus Media Importer but that would be your other option

I think StickMount can manually mount HDDs and flash drives for other apps to see without root.
The automount option requires root privileges though.
ES file Explorer works well. They updated it for lollipop sometime last week!
file expert also works well...
Thanks for all the advice.
Stick mount doesn't work on a non-rooted tablet, it FC's
I've settled on using ES File Explorer for the moment,

How did that work? I've been trying to get ES File Explorer to recognize my Meenova for the whole day. I have a 64GB FAT32 microSDXC plugged in through Meenova. ES recognizes that something is plugged in, it just freezes when trying to open it. The only app successfully opening it up it Nexus Media Importer.

Never heard of a Meenova before but it looks nice, I've only used a thumb drive with 64gb sdcard plugged in via a USB OTG cable and that has worked fine.
Hello, i rooted my phone (lgk7) and installed xplore file manager. I clicked on root and under storage i see otg drive i believe, does this mean my phone has otg capabilities? And if so how can i set this up? Thanks for the help!

Yes probably, just plug your phone to some flash memory using otg cable and then a new drive should appear with the files inside the flash, and sea if it works.
Hi,
I just got the S9+ (UK model) yesterday, I've activated the OEM Unlock and it's remained on (it did reset the phone when I rebooted).
I'd ideally like to connect a SD card reader and a portable HDD via a USB hub, to transfer photos from the card reader via the phone to the HDD.
I've done this on my Note 4 (rooted and running a custom stock ROM). The portable HDD is exFat formatted.
But the S9+ isn't currently rooted.
Do I just need to root the phone, so I can adjust any read/write privileges or would I also need to install a custom (stock) ROM too, to be able to transfer files?
Thank you

Not really sure why you'd need root. I have a SanDisk SSD that I plug in via USB-C and it just shows up as a drive on the S9+.

I can get the drive to show up (it's Western Digital Elements), but if I try to copy anything to it, either from the card reader (via the phone) or from the phone itself. I get a "copy failed" type message.
It doesn't make any difference when using the hub, if it's powered or not. In the past I've always used a non powered hub.
*** EDIT ***
I decided to try the inbuilt file manager and I was able to copy and paste photos from the card reader to the portable HDD.
I was using Root Explorer (Pro version) and it always failed to copy across the files. I don't know why.
Problem solved
