same for me , i can hot swap usb mouse / xbox360 controller many times , 1'st time I connect a usb flash drive I can see contents it in astro , disconnect & re-connect no contents untill I restart ???
does tiamat 1.4.2 support hotswapping of usb drives ??
Lots of these topics floating around. All looks the same after u connect a file/drive u have to reboot. Kinda sucks. Mice/controllers/keyboard not effected. I wish a dev would pop in and just say yes u have to reboot all the time or there can be a solution or something.

Are you sure you got an host cable? Do any other devices work with it? Like a mouse or controller.

Drives over OTG are indeed hotswapable. I do it all the time.

Just an update on the need to reboot to access usbOTG. I got my official USB adapter today from Motorola. I have hot swapped 5 different drivers and sticks and it reads every time. Even my 250gb WD portable hard drive.

@ hoola
so did you have a grey otg cable and got the same results as others and I have got , and now you have the official host cable as is well ? am I correct ?
also exactly what are you running , and the route you took to get there , i.e. my route was
uk 3.01 , one click, tiamat as they came out untill 1.4.0 > BRD's cwm flashed 3.1 update > tiamat 1.6ghz with usbmass storage (thats not working too well for me)
thanks
I had a grey/clear generic cAble. I rooted using another method on another site then *redid* it using brd method . I just tried using the generic cAble and it does not read after first swap until reboot. With moto cable it sees all devices . I switched out like 20 times in a row with 5 or so devices (USB , external, USB card reader, few sticks) and it reads every time.

First question is no, not that I know of. No one has investigated if it works or not on this device. But I would think it would. They can use the same identical keyboard.
Second question is yes you can, but you will have to use USB debugging (ADB) to do it. Then you can push files from your device to your phone. They can't just connect together like one was a computer and the other was a media device or attached storage.
If your phone can accept a micro flash card, you could transfer it that way too.
Hi guys, has anyone had any luck getting the 360 wireless controller receiver to work with the N5? I've tried the various methods posted around xda for other devices but non of them work, has anyone any ideas? The Receiver is detected correctly as It's listed as a usb device but nothing happens when the pad is connected.
Edit: I've just tried it with my Galaxy Nexus and it's working fine, that's also running a kitkat ROM so could it be a kernel issue?
Interesting... I always thought it needed to be a wired controller. I'll have to try this out when i get home and report back.
I can't get it to work either. Tried following the guide by sleeplessninja.
I'v been wondering if I could get an OTG cable, hook it up to a USB to Ethernet port, and use Ethernet. Could you guys let me know if its possible or would I have to root my device or download drivers or something. Thanks.
This would be interesting
I know you can use usb teathering. But i never tried ethernet to usb

Bluetooth Tethering also works well.

the entire point is to have a reliable wired connection. I don't know if the G3 can handle ethernet to usb.
As an IT professional, being able to plug into Ethernet ports would be kinda helpful.
usb > ethernet > usb
that would work... but what would be the point? the phone can tether over usb, but I suppose that's going on the other direction, perhaps what you're after is Internet Pass-through? I've seen this on HTC phones, so it's technically possible, but I'm going to guess it's built into the kernel, not a normal android option.
