Hi all,
I have bought, Redmi Note 3 SD 2GB.
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!!!
Mine can't read NTFS partitions.
Try different file explorer, miui one does not support ntfs for me but es explorer do.

Bro
I am using X-plore and built in file manager... But it does not show drive contents.
Notification is seen "Unsupported file format"
Finally, no option to open the 2tb hard disk in redmi note 3.
I tried the es explorer also.
Admin plz close the thread
Lol it's not about wether the file manger supports NTFS.. the device kernal has to.. and Redmi note 3 kernal does support NTFS for otg.. but 2gb hard disk iam not sure wether it will get adequate power from the otg cable to run

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

Mine work with custom rom
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!

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
HIT THANKS IF HELPED

I have the same problem
I have Redmi Note 3 Pro. I have been experiencing OTG connection issues. I have a KingstonDataTraveler G3 16Gb and a Sony16Gb pendrives. I tried both but they don't seem to connect. I tried to troubleshoot this by the OTG Troubleshoot app but it showed that the OTG cable was alright and it showed it was connected. Can anybody help please???
This is not the problem with your device... The otg drive will not come in es file explorer.... check the notifications when you connect an otg drive, there'll be a notification and you can use that to open the drive...
Are the sticks formatted as FAT32?
If not get app Stickmount <<< root app.

What rom is your device on?
See settings - about phone - MIUI Version.
Any chance you have a vendor rom?

MIUI Global 7.3.7.0 Stable ;-;
Hello Everyone,
I am using redmi note 4 Snapdragon version miui 8.10.0 MCFMIDI. I want to connect my device to Toshiba 1 tb hdd.
A few days back I was able to connect my device to Toshiba 1 tb hdd but now I am not able to connect now. I am able to read the contents with es file Explorer by cannot write on hdd.I am using stickmount app to connect. I have already transferred approximately 100 GB of data directly from my phone to 1 tb hdd without any difficulty. There is also no power problem as many complain. Toshiba takes 900mah power which is what a 64gb or more USB drive takes. I can connect my 64GB USB drive which is formatted in NTFS format and I am having no difficulty in transferring copying the files but in external hard drive I am unable unable to connect now.
My device is rooted.
Kindly somebody help.
Thanks
Best Wishes

[ SOLVED]
There was no help from anybody. I solved this by myself. I am posting very late (SORRY FOR THAT).
There is this thing you have to keep Documents in Settings Enabled.
1, Go to settings /Installed Apps /Documents /Now Enable it.
2, You have close all apps then Clear Ram Now open ES file Explorer Now connect the 1tb Hdd to the phone through USB Now there will be a pop up asking to open the file One will be ES file Explorer or may be another Explorer and other will be Stickmount app open only Stickmount app not any file Explorer the Stickmount app will start working and give you notification that the hdd is now connected Now open already opened ES file Explorer you will now be able to transfer files. Es file Explorer will not show the real size and free size but it's in working condition. ENJOY
If you can afford please purchase the Stickmount pro version. We should appreciate the developers and if we can afford then definitely buy the app.
I think some apps are very necessary for all Android user's and we should purchase the app if affordable.
I Have transfered a total of more than 200Gb to my 1tb hdd only by my phone.
IMPORTANT - Its highly advisable that you disconnect Mobile data and Calling Switch to airplane mode because when the data is being transferred any notification can disrupt the transfer and there will be another problem it will stuck in middle then another problem arises you will not be able to connect to hdd again. Now you have to find a PC and connect the hdd and do file repair usb which is asked in PC automatically. I had this problem and suffered a lot gave lot of time and energy tried to find Android apps to fix this but not found it.
Hoping somebody will benefit from my problems
Best Wishes
Hi
I just want to connect my external hard drive (usb) to my poco f1 but the android system or MIUI doesn't recognize the hard as suitable DISK and asks me to format it before i can use it on my phone.
Can anyone help?
Quite likely that the HDD is formatted as NTFS which AFAIK isn't supported by MIUI. You can format the HDD as FAT32( max. file size limited to 4GB) or flash a custom kernel which could enable NTFS support.

The USB Type C port is limited to USB 2.0 only. Plus for handling larger capacity(3/4TB or higher) drives a powerbank is needed.

Ok, thanks i got it, that's why it's very slow with me,
It's usb type c issue, right
I was thinking that the problem is with the MIUI version or the OS support to this, especially that i try the same HDD and same OTG connector on REDMI NOTE 8 PRO based on Android 10 and it was working normally without 3rd party apps or any external apps... Am I right? ?

How slow is it exactly? USB 2 is good enough for 35MB/s.
Type C can be USB 3. 1 as well like in Oneplus 7 series. And in Redmi Note 8 Pro its USB 2.0.
Poco F1 isn't very good when it comes to self-powering high capacity ext. HDDs. Anything over 2TB likely needs a powered USB hub. In my old Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3s I can easily power 4TB drives even.

Then what's wrong with my device?
can you figure it out, can u help?!
I don't know the exact speed (kb/s) is, because the app i used doesn't show the speed indicator i attached to u its pic.
And i tried another app (ex/fat ntfs paragon software with total commander app) and it was the same speed, it's very slow.
For example, video (2gb) takes more than 10 or 20 min to completely transferred from HDD TO my POCO F1
MY EXT. HDD IS 1TB ONLY?
Pls can u tell what can i do more?
THX FOR YOUR HELP

Were these issues also present on MIUI based on Android 9 or only arose after upgrading to Android 10? I have been using custom ROMs right from day one. In crDroid 5.9 based on Android 9 there was no issue but in crDroid 6.4 based on Android 10 from what I can see USB 3 devices suffer from very low transfer speeds 0.5MB/s whereas in USB 2 devices transfer speeds are as expected(8-18MB/s). I checked in my PC as well and USB 3 devices are in the range 30-140MB/s.
Could you check with a USB 2 drive?

No, but I didn't update my device. am still on Android 9 MIUI V 11.0.5
and their is no issues with my device when i transfer data from pc with the original USB CABLE, the speed is very good ranging between (7-20MB/s)..
The problem only when i use HDD as OTG USB.
hint"i told u that i try the same HDD with same OTG connector on my friend device (redmi note pro, global stable ROM based on Android 10) and it was working normally with good transfer speed".
that's it.
I don't know. On crDroid Pie I had no issue. Maybe try a custom kernel or just bulk transfer stuff from the HDD via PC over MTP.

Is your issue solved?I updated to crDroid 6.7 today and transfer speeds over USB OTG are as expected. For USB 3.0 ext. HDDs. But in one USB3 pen drive speeds are still abysmally low. Just an exception as I tested multiple HDDs and it was fine. Copying to HDDs fluctuated between 15-25MB/s(avg. ~20MB/s) but copying to internal storage from HDDs was better at ~32MB/s.
