USB connection and storage don't work with Miui

Since I have installed the MIUI version of December (1.12.2 and 1.12.9), the usb storage doesn't work.. when I plug the usb cable to a pc (tried on Windows and Mac, but still have same issue) the system never mounts the sd, and the phone never asks me to do that. (even if the charge on usb is enabled, it doesn't work; but when I plug to a AC adapter I have no problem)
May I have my Usb storage working again? Help me guys
I had the same issue, and sometimes when I tried to mount the SD card it would freeze and I would have to pull the battery. I succeeded to mount the internal sd storage only, but it didn't mount both int and ext memory :/ But i'm back on stock now, getting annoyed with all these little annoying problems on custom ROMs.
EDIT: I flashed Galnet's ICS MIUI before I returned to stock and SD mount worked fine.
Tried with galnet ICS and normal release of galnet but still not work! Help me

[Q] OTG problems with 64 gb flash drive

I have a problem with detection of my ADATA S102 PRO 64 gb usb 3.0 flash drive formatted in NTFS. Device detects it very, very randomly and most often after a long period of time, or for the most of the time, never at all (5-10 minutes of being plugged in over OTG cable, but still nothing). The funny thing is, that s3 detects 4 gb flash drive (in fat32) and 320 gb hard drive (in NTFS) just fine. I wait 1 to 5 seconds and "Easy OTG Checker" program detects it (show its name) and "Nexus Photo Viewer" starts automatically as well. But my 64 gb flash drive almost never boots. I followed some troubleshoot guides, to insert OTG and USB into the device, and than re-boot it, while cable was still plugged in. Well, I tried this and USB was found. I though to myself "Thats it. I just have to reboot it when I want to use USB", but after second time, USB never mounted again. Even when there is no cable connected, "Easy OTG Checker" program still shows green check mark. It should show red cross, but it doesn't. It shows green check mark, and under it, it says: "Detected USB device: (Unknown), or "Detected USB device: Comneon HSIC Device".
You must be thinking now that this USB is not compatible with OTG standards. But you are wrong. My nexus 7 2013 detects this drive in less than 1 second. The moment I insert OTG cable into my nexus, "Easy OTG Checker" detects my USB drive as: "Detected USB device: ADATA ADATA USB Flash Drive", and when I remove it, it shows red cross as it should.
Now you must be thinking that my s3 can detect 4 gb drive and 320 gb drive, but for some bizarre reason, it cannot detect my 64 gb usb flash drive.
You are now 100 % confident to know what's wrong with my s3. It is USB 3.0 right? Both other drives are usb 2.0 so it is logical that my 64 gb drive wont work because it is 3.0 drive, and nexus 7 detects it because it is newer and better and stronger and bigger. Right? Right? But what if I told you that my friend has the same s3 as me, and when I tried the same OTG cable and the same flash drive, it detects my usb in a second. "Easy OTG Checker" detects it in a heartbeat.
I have read every possible thing related to this, every google post, every forum thread, every youtube video and I still didn't find anything related to this problem or even close to it. When I was on original samsung 4.1.2 rom, when I inserted my 64 gb usb flash drive, it showed red cross (not for 4 gb or 320 gb drive, only for 64 gb one). But when I installed cyanogenmod 4.4.2, SlimBean 4.3, and now stock samsung 4.3, it started this "Detected USB device: (Unknown)" or "Detected USB device: Comneon HSIC Device", even when no OTG cable was detected. But this message doesn't really mean anything, because it changes the moment I connect 4 gb or 320 gb drive (because it actually detects those USB's).
If anyone has any idea what could be wrong, please share it. Anything.
Thanks
tldr: My s3 detects 4 gb usb stick and 320 gb hard drive, but does not detect my 64 gb usb stick even though my nexus 7 2013 and my friends s3 detects it just fine.
update:
Today I tested this 64 gb stick on Sony Ericsson Live (yes, a phone from 2011), and "Easy OTG Checker" detected it. It said: "Detected USB device: ADATA ADATA USB Flash Drive" just like on my nexus 7. Device was on original sony rom 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
I also tested it on nexus 5 with latest 4.4.2 kitkat and "Easy OTG Checker" said the same. It recognized the stick and mounted it perfectly.
Come on guys. No clue what could be wrong ? I know that it is a very strange case, but is there really nothing I can do to fix this? I don't know what to do anymore.

Weird Problem with USB 3.0 drives

Yesterday I tried to connect a USB 3.0 drive (both a pen drive and an external 1 TB HDD) to my poco via otg. It took some time to detect (hard drive took much longer than pen drive, USB 2.0 drives were detected instantly). When I tried to copy data from my pen drive or my hard drive to my phone the transfer speed was stuck around only 1MB/s. Both are formatted with NTFS format and I have used them with my previous Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5 Pro, they used to work fine in both of those phones. I tried to copy data in MIUI using Paragon and even a custom rom like Havoc, Nitrogen etc. I don't know why transfer speed is so slow on POCO? Could it be due to type-c port? I even tried using different file explorers but same result. Any solution?

EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE (USB) as otg

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?

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.
