Good Morning and Happy New year to all,
Question I may be missing the boat on this but how do you get the G Tablet to read a USB drive? And for that matter the SD card that is extra (I mean the one I installed)? Thank you for the help and if I missed it on the search that you for the link.

I just bought mine through a friend that lives in LA, and as we speak is fliying to México.
I know the development of custom roms is in a very early stage, but I have one question for you, regular users and devs:
Do you think its possible to mount an storage drive using the standard USB port? If not, is it a hardware issue or its just related to software.
Thank you all!
Do a search. I have read before in the forums that some people have gotten USB sticks and USB HDs working. But seems like I remember they have to be formatted Fat32.
A couple of searches should turn up info.

Yes, but drive has to be formatted FAT32.
There are several threads about this here.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I just read aboout the usb thumbdrives and HID working, but I want to beyond that:
What about a DVD R/W drive? I am not sure if there is an app for that
I am new to the tablet world, I have had xoom wifi for about a week. I bought it to avoid having to take my laptop on deployment later this year. I have about 100gb or more of movies that I want to take with me. I have seen the treads about getting usb hosting on the xoom, which said it was 3g/4g only and it was bricking a lot of devices. I have unlocked and rooted my device I used the one click method. This is all really new to me and I don't understand a lot of it. The only thing I want to know is it possible to hook an external hard drive up to the xoom and if so how to do it. I am sure that I am going to catch all sorts of hell but i am tired of reading threads that I don't understand. Thanks in advance for anyone that helps out.

Hi,
I just received my phone, and have a couple of total newbie questions. I have never had an android phone, but, have an unlocked android tablet for my daughter. I unlocked it with info from this site. Awesome help!! I couldn`t have done it without you. Needed a new phone, and couldn`t afford the home prices or contracts for the iphones, galaxies, etc, so went for the Jiayu G3. Just started using mine, but and having problem getting windows 7 computer to recognize the device. The screen looks great and so far, it seems nice, but I am not a phone tech. I`m more of a desperate user, willing to learn and try...with direction from someone with experience.
Has anyone else had a problem with this phone being recognized, I guess as a mass storage device, and is there some solution that someone can help me with?
Also, wondering whether or not to unlock the phone, once the first problem is solved. I don`t know too much about the benefit of the unlock in this case. Can someone share info on that? I SAID I`m a newbie, sorry.
Is there any must have software that any of you more experienced users recommend for this phone?
Does ANYONE know where I can find info on it in English, so that I can figure out what I`m pressing?
Seriously....Thank you!

Are you still having problems connecting as mass storage as i just plugged mine into my sons windows 7 pc and it installed drivers straight away. Whe you connect to pc does usb connected not show on screen and a turn on usb storage button not appear. If not then when you plug in the cable swipe down from the top of the phone to see the notification area. One of the notifications should read Connected As USB Storage Touch for other usb options. Now yours might say media device or camera (ptp) just push that button and you should be taked to a screen with 3 choices, usb storage-media device-camera(ptp) select usb storage and if drivers do not start to install pull out cable and plug in again and hit connect as usb staorage and then OK. Hope this helps, I have mine rooted but I would not bother as there is going to be an Jelly Bean update released if you root you won't get the over the air update or might even fail and download and manual update. Phone works great just as it is.
hello all! if you have a problem driver download PDANET install it on the PC and connect your phone. install the drivers it must be!
here is that if some help ....

There me be some potential explanations here although your best bet is to ask in the Android Q&A as there's no forum for your device. With any luck someone may even have a kernel with OTG support for your needs at best, or may have another solution. Good luck
