OTG - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
How can be used this function on Moto XT 1524 (5.0.2) ? I tried with two different OTG cables and a lot of USB sticks (1, 2, 4, 6, 16 GB) ... Even I tried to activate in settings-"mounting USB On-The-Go" I was unable to access any stick...
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's somewhere else this information...

Hi
settings>storage>enable usb on-the-go

try to format your stick in different file format, I have 4gb one with fat32 and it's working fine

Thanks, guys !
BUT ... as I say, I already tried to activate the function in options, and I tried different sticks (FAT32 and NTFS) ...

...and why they say that OTG not working ?!

You can mount ntfs drives by loading ntfs.ko module as mentioned in this thread.

I'm not sure fat32 file system works by this method.
Also, try using different kernels like Siyah which supports ntfs/fat32 mounting.

Is OTG working consistently for you?

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.
