Is the USB port on the ViewPad 7 limited to charging?
I inserted a USB memory (using a converter plug) but the VP7 did not recognize it. Has anyone successfully connected something to the port?

Thats's a limitation. USB port on Viewpad 7 is passive, so it can not read external sources.

I do recall someone talking about using a "USB OGO" cable to do something like what you are talking about... Look into it on "android.modaco.com" looks like a modified USB cable and a custom rom will let you attach a flashdrive to your USB port...
hope that helps...
I have one of these When You fist connect USB to PC it installs a virtual cd drive . You can either ignore it or let it install after that Plug in USB while tablet is on ,it will ask you to turn on USB storage tap turn on and SD card shows up on PC as a removable disk you can read and write to with Windows Explorer
Sorry for the Stupid Noob post I misread it.Thought you meant internal storage

No worries mate, I have been able to move files (mainly music) between my PC and the ViewPad, I just found it odd that since it will obviously act as a receiver through the USB port from a PC why wouldn't it receive directly from a USB memory? Obviously I don't know enough about how these things work.
According to some users the viewpad 7 kernel supports usb OTG where the devices acts as the host.

I played this morning with some USB cables and my Viewpad 7 and I found as follows:
1) You need USB OTG cable or USB OTG adapter with USB A female connector at one end and with USB Mini B male connector at second end - that end you should put in Viewpad 7 USB socket. With such a combination Viewpad 7 can read USB flash memories. I will try later other USB devices.
2) it worked fine on tj_style ROM and on Viewsonic stock ROM with Android 2.2.2.
3) Mouse works, but there is no cursor and the selection "jumps" from icon to icon.
4) Wireless keyboard, USB DVD player and USB hard disk do not work.
sorry for the maybe noob Q, but do I have to mount the usb memory or do i directly see the files in a folder...
I use ghost commander and cannot find the containing files...;-/
Thx in advance
--> Problem solved: It was the NTFS-Prob....With fat32 everything works like a charm...(no extra mounting...)

I plug in usb storage and run stick moun app says that there is no any mounted device. is there any solution?
Note: I tested also asus memo pad hd 7 me 173x which androdi 4.2.2 but unfortunately this tablet also does not detect when i plug in my usb.

can anyone help me?
Hello, guys...
I have one question: how can I find out that my phone supports the USB OTG?
I have tried USB OTG checker app that told me: "Your device OS has USB OTG API!" but when I plug the USB OTG flash drive, nothing happen..
There is a also folder called "usbotg" in /storage.
Why does not it working?
Hi, I'm wondering if somenoe can help me, I rooted my phone mainly to try and get usb otg to work but I can't get it working. I'd like to use an external dac for music. I've copied the files android.hardware.usb.host.xml, handheld_core_hardware.xml, and tablet_core_hardware.xml. I've checked my status with the Usb Otg Checker app, which has a checklist, and it says my phone is usb otg compatible. I've also checked with the Usb Host Check app and it says usb host support is enabled on my device.
However, when I try and mount the dac using Usb Otg Helper it says:
'Root access OK
E: Mount directory could not be created...
E: THIS APP WILL NOT WORK!
Otg Mass Storage not supported?
NTFS read-write supported'.
The app then gives a web link 'if I want it on stock kernel' (which I think I am), and it talks about possibly needing modules (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24600142&postcount=2) but I can't find any for this device. Can someone help me please? How can I possibly make otg work?
