Hey guys
I have connected my 4gb and 8gb sandisk USB pen drives to my n9 via otg cable but unable to acess any of the pen drives. I have es file explorer installed , still doesn't work. After one weeks try I'm v irritated .
Plz help with a best possible solution
The same works v well with my moto g2 with the same otg cable via es file explorer.
People say to use the nexus media importer but its a paid app.
Thanks
Plz help
What's the file system on the sticks? Only FAT32 and NTFS are supported by es.
Also, try another OTG cable. (USB 2.0 only)..
If the stick doesn't support es, it shouldn't have worked on my motog2 . that's what I have mentioned above
Use Stickmount by Chainfire in the play store. Works well with es explorer.
Finally...working now
Thanks guys

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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer&hl=en
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.
Hi Forum. I've tried to connect an OBDII scan tool unsuccessfully using OTG cable. Then I looked up the specifications and found the V10 does not support USB host mode. The V10 does not support USB host mode ?
I use my OTG cable all the time with USB drives and micro SD cards.
Not sure if that's different than what you're trying to do.
My obd II reader is bluetooth so I can't test that.

Connected my OTG cable with a Flash Drive attached and it worked for me. I was able to read the FD's contents using ES FIle Explorer.
OTG with flash drives and SD readers works fine for me.
Works well for me with flash drives and portable storage devices.
Works great for me hooked to my DSLR!!!
Hi all,

But tried to connect my WD 2TB external hard drive using OTG Cable, and only the white led is shown, but was not showing the hard drive contents.
Please somebody help me sort out the issue.
Would deeply appreciate help!!!

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
Lenovo hard drive 1 Tb

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!

I bought and returned this tablet in the first week it came out because my unit appeared to be missing OTG functionality. I used it with 2 different USB-C to USB adapters and could not make it work.
At the time, a couple of senior members on XDA got OTG to work so I assumed I had a bad unit. Since it's been about a month since it's out, wanted to find out if others have consistently been able to get OTG to work. I see from other posts that usb-to-HDMI does not work, but have all of you been able to use OTG to connect to usb drives? If so, could you share which adapters you are using? Thanks..
I was having some OTG USB 3.0 issues, the sticks worked on my OnePlus 3, but were not detected by the tablet... had me worried, but it was simply a case of reformatting the USB sticks on my PC and it all worked again.
I have 2 different USB3-to-USBC OTG adapters and both work w/o any problems on my S3. I've used them for thumb dives (USB2) and USB wireless mice. Unfortunately I cannot recall their specific model numbers as I've had them both for 6+ months, but their brand is stamped on them. One is a white Insignia that I probably bought at Best Buy and the other is a black "Cable Creation".
No matter which brand of usb stick. The only important thing is file format. I don't known for the Tab S3, but at this day all Samsung smartphones and tablets I've tested only recognize FAT32 and EXFAT file format. I've tested this on Galaxy S4 S5 S5 Mini S7 J5 and TAB S S2 S2 VE A10.1 2016.
NTFS file format is NOT recognized BUT on some devices you can read it with ES FILE EXPLORER (maybe other file browsers too but I didn't try them).
For me if you don't root your device, the only two limitations on Samsung devices weres unability to read NTFS and no DTS and AC3 audio CODEC.
Both problems can be solved, NTFS by ES FILE EXPLORER, and DTS/AC3 by MX PLAYER CUSTOM CODEC which can be found on XDA Developpers.
Greetings to XDA!
I've tested USB OTG on Galaxy Tab S3: like other Samsung devices it reads FAT32 and ExFAT file formats but doesn't recognize NTFS.
Anyway like I've told before you can use ES FILE EXPLORER to access to NTFS USB drives.

IIRC, OCZ usb drives were notorious.

"OTG" is not a brand.
It means "On The Go".
Any brand can work with the right file format.
It's the same with USB micro SD cards.
I just got a usb-c otg cable today & was trying a few usb drives and ssds with the tab s3. All worked except one of the ssd's (exFAT). It appeared to be not getting enough enough power from the usb port. I charged the tab to full & re-tried the failing ssd: it then worked. For what it's worth I'd noticed similar behaviour with the same ssd on a tab s2: sometimes it would work, sometimes I'd have to connect a usb power bank using a usb y splitter cable. My tab s3 firmware is AQBB and rooted.

Has anyone here been able to get OTG-External NTFS HDD detection and mounting to work with this kernel that is said to have NTFS support in its kernel (I know by default, it's only ExFat/Fat32):
[SM-T820,825] Flash-Kernel V.1.1 Permissive, Wifi Fixed [NTFS + USB-OTG Support]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../sm-t825-flash-kernel-0-1-permissive-t3692328
Since this kernel has SE Linux permissive permissions, I thought Stickmount Pro-Root would work but all it does is detect the drives to mount but then samsung disables them as corrupt and switches to charging mode.
I outlined in much more detail in comments: #23, #25, #27 in the link above - I wanted to get MX Player Pro to load and play my media found on the external NTFS drives that are on a powered USB hub and USB-C OTG. I could easily do this with over 20TB's of multiple external NTFS hdd's on my 2012 Nexus and other nexus/motorola devices. The OTG-C cables I have (2 different that I use) are fine as they work on the other non-samsung devices.
There are other custom ROM's for the galaxy tab s2 which can mount NTFS hdd's like above. Hopefully we can get some others to share their experience and knowledge to troubleshoot.
Please Recommend working USB OTG adapter for Poco F1 8-256 variant.
I have searched on the internet and found that MIUI-11 does support otg.
So it is only the matter of purchasing the right otg adapter.
I want to connect mostly pendrives only (FAT32 & exFAT) to backup data from my Poco F1.
So if any of you purchased an adapter that works please share that link here so that me and other users can benifit from it. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in Advance :highfive:
Cheers :good:

I've been using OTG on my poco since day one. Just bought a Type-C OTG and didn't had to configure anything.
For NTFS you'll need paragon NTFS drivers app.
You'll get USB 2.0 speeds on flash drives but external drives work slow (mine was 2 tb WD)

Thanks I bought the MIVI OTG adapter from flipkart and it works flawlessly.
So an off-topic question...
I'm trying to add the pen drive connected to my router via
Mi File Manager>Remote>Add Remote Device>[SMB]LAN on my brand new Poco F1 8/256
But my pendrive is not getting detected while scanning. I tried different pendrives, but none of them are getting detected.
I tried using MiXplorer, didnt get detected in this as well.
Do I need to enable some settings or permissions??
Can you please help me with this??

I don't use the built in mi file explorer for SMB. I use xplore. Search it on play store and it always works for me.
