I use the USB OTG cable to mount USB flash drives on the Galaxy S II, no problem. I tried putting a micro-SD card in a USB adapter and mounting that via OTG, but the micro-SD card is never recognized. I get no notice of media scanner running, etc. Yet, this same USB/micro-SD combo works fine in my laptop. Any suggestions how to get it to work with the SGS2?
Actually, this worked with a different, better quality USB-microUSB adapter.
Hello all,
I'm having trouble getting my device to run OTG. Every time I connect my OTG cable it says OTG charging on the notification however the option to mount USB storage stays grayed out.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance for any help

Same here with (only) one OTG cable, but I have 2 cables, the second one work, I have, also, one micro-usb OTG adapter ( with multiple output, like USB, micro sd reader, and more ) and this one working too
So, I don't know why, but some OTG adapter don't work

The notification on my phone is only for charging as well, but when I open file manager I can find USB in storage and approach the files normally.
Strange, when I put an OTGcable with a usb memory in the port it works fine. Cables may differ?

Can I use a USB C to Micro B (female) adapter and plug a OTG adapter into the Micro B port, without damaging my device or USB stick, or won't this even work? I'm asking because I still have a OTG cable lying around and I also have a USB C to Micro B adapter, but I don't want to damage anything Has anyone tries this? I tried searching for it online but I can't find anything about it.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it then.
But your USB C to Micro USB adapter needs to support OTG. I have an adapters which does not support it.
I'm pretty sure Nokia 7+ supports OTG.
I have an Aukey USB 3.0 A to C adapter into which I've plugged an Anker USB 3. 0 card reader. The phone does not recognise this as storage. Should it and, if so, what am I doing wrong, please?
maybe your reader don't support OTG mode? i have https://www.kingston.com/en/flash/readers/fcr-ml3c and working fine without any settings or 3rd apps...
after put is USB, in status bar i see usb icon, in notification i see "USB Drive" with buttons Explore and Eject, after click on Explore a see files on microSD in USB reader and mp3 from it is played ok...
Card Reader

Thanks. That's very helpful. How does one establish if a reader supports OTG? I need an SD card reader so can I assume the fcr-mlg4 will also work?
now i noticed, then you write about separate USB-A->C adapter and USB-A card reader... then i think not be problem with card reader (this not need support OTG if used with (right/working) OTG cable/adapter), but with your USB-A->C adapter, maybe not support OTG or is broken... can you try in this adapter put another USB Flash? and put in N7+ (after USB Flash putted to adapter)

then i think aukey adapter not suport OTG and is only for use with PC/Apple with USB-C conector... try buy another adapter, i don't post link to ebay because i don't know if adapter for $1 from china with OTG in description really have OTG support or is mistake/lying... try buy some from your local/country_eshop store with verifing with on vendor site or with shop support that is really with OTG... i see on me country eshop for example "Akasa AK-CBUB25-15BK" and vendor say is have OTG support, but sure you find also another...
edit: sorry i write akasa model with microUSB, this is with USB-C "Akasa AK-CBUB30-15BK"
http://www.akasa.com.tw/search.php?seed=AK-CBUB30-15BK
for this vendor not say OTG support, but have photo with phone/tablet, then i think OTG supported (and in description in me country eshop in description is OTG support)
OTG
Thanks k3dar7.
It had never occurred to me that a USB-C to USB-A adapter wouldn't have OTG support. I've ordered one from Amazon that, hopefully, will do the trick.
Many thanks for your help.

Just received AUKEY USB C Adapter to USB A ( 2 Pack ) with OTG USB Type C Converter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074K38QC7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from Amazon and it works perfectly with OTG. I'm now very happy, thanks!
Hi gurus, just got this phone.....happily wanted to transfer all my music and movie files to ROG phone using OTG, but phone unable to detect the sd card !
tried using OTG dongle, sd card reader, even connect ROG phone to another type C phone using the original cable provided.....all failed.
emailed to Asus asking them, replied to me saying this phone does not support OTG !!!
WTF?!!
any gurus here tried connecting the OTG successfully??
I am using china otg from Oukitel mobile - I only had to buy USB-C reduction. Everything works perfectly
I'm using a 128GB USB 3.0 stick even formatted with NTFS via a USB-A to USB-C adapter without problems. Haven't tried it with an SD card reader as I don't own one.
Provided cable is optimized for charging only. You will need to find a data cable and use the side port, not the bottom port.
