Are you talking about trying to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive? If so, I've encountered the same. I spoke to Samsung tech support and they confirmed that the I727 Skyrocket is not OTG USB Host Enabled... while the GS2 I777 stock kernel is Host enabled. That said, there was one member on this forum who states their stock Skyrocket is OTG USB Host enabled (allowing him to transfer files to/from a USB flash drive). We need a developer to advise if/when a kernel (preferable stock + otg USB host enabled) can be developed for our i727 Skyrocket.
If you talking about transferring files to a computer, you should have that capability. Make sure USB Debugging is checked on phone and you have the correct drivers installed on your PC.

I'm talking about transferring files(pictures,movies,etc..) I have USB debugging enabled and I downloaded the drivers presented on the forums here. It just connects then disconnects repeatedly. I'm pretty sure its a driver issue but I'm using the ones from xda. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated

You're not supposed to use USB Debugging for transferring files like that.
Just turn off debugging.
Then when you plug in the USB cable, the notifications bar should let you know it's connected. So click on that notification about the USB, then click the option to "connect".
It's kind of redundant if you ask me, but it's how it works.

I know it don't have to be ticked to transfer files. It does it whether its on or off. I'm just trying to get it to stay locked in so my computer recognizes it

And it also makes it quite frustrating to flash or anything via computer

Well I'm not sure then. Here's a few things to try:
1) Different USB port on your computer. If you're using a rear port, then try a front port. Sometimes they use different chipsets.
2) Different USB cable. They can get flakey sometimes.
3) Go into 3E Recovery and clear cache. Could be a setting that got whacked out.

USB host mode is working great. but now how....

I just received my micro usb host mode cable and it works great. I can transfer files between my phone and my usb flash drive.
Now I'd like to create a link on the main screen of the phone that points to the folder of the usb flash drive. "mnt/scdard/usbstorage/sda"
How can I do that?
thanks.

What kernel are you running? I know the stock 2.3.6 kernel does not have OTG USB HOST enabled.

I'm on TPC V3 with Da_G Kernel 0.43

According to the description in Faux's kernel, it supports otg.

Interesting to hear you say that. I have a stock Skyrocket running 2.3.6 and I can access a thumb drive or a CF card in a USB card reader with a simple adapter cable.

wow... interesting you have OTG enabled on the stock SR 2.3.6 boot.img (kernel). From what I understood from the developers who have "OTG host enabled" on their respective custom kernel, you need to recompile the kernel to enable OTG support. Did you have a custom ROM/Kernel previously flashed on your phone? I've tried multiple USB flash drives... and multiple OTG cables... and can't get them recognized by my SR-I727... however, same USB flash drive and cables recognize my GS2-I777 and I can transfer files on that phone. I took the AT&T 2.3.6 OTA update, and as stated, it doesn't seem to have OTG enabled.

OP: To answer your OP question on how to add a shortcut on your homescreen to a specific folder... download "ES FILE EXPLORER" free in Market... navigate to the folder you want a shortcut to... then long press that folder and select "shortcut". This will place a folder shortcut on your homescreen. Hope that helps.

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".

[Q] Did atrix 2 support usb on the go.....?

Did atrix 2 support usb on the go.....?
On gingerbread I didn't saw any such options but ics have that option.
Hence has any one tried usb on the go. Is this option present in jelly been leak....?

u cn buy usb OTG cable or adapter from any electronic shop
every android fone has capability to detect slave devices such as keyboard, mouse if they are compatible
so go ahead
and search the accessories section .... it has same topic discussed

direct OTG cable will never work in atrix2, you have to use Y cable or powered hub to mount flash drive or any device like keyboard or mouse.
any how you have to give external power for mounting device in atrix2

No. It requires external power as before.

Ace 2 USB-OTG host mode

I've been looking for any info about Galaxy Ace 2 USB host for some time but I've found nothing useful so I'm starting this thread with some information I found on my own:
Ace 2 has Inventra HDRC USB Controller (HDRC = Highspeed Dual Role Controller). Stock kernel have the necessary drivers included. No need for usb_storage.ko so far (checked in '.config' from kernel sources from opensource.samsung.com. Ace itself does not contain /proc/config.gz). USB_OTG cable is detected by musb driver. It can be seen from the last line of /proc/MBUS. However host mode is not activated and that can be seen in /sys/devices/platfrom/mbus*/mode, it remains b_idle and VBUS is not turned on (no voltage).
Ace 2 contains some funny IC called FSA9485 USB Port Multimedia Switch Featuring Automatic Switching and Accessory Detection. According to the datasheet it contains internal charge pumps so Ace 2 should have everything for host mode. FSA9485 driver again detects otg cable according to dmesg.
Does somebody have a clue where's the problem? Why musb won't switch itself to host mode and fsa won't provide 5V power when they both detect the cable (pin 4 shorted to pin 5 (GND)). What is the relation between musb and fsa driver?
Btw. I have compiled working fuse.ko module so if somebody get the host mode working it'll be very little step to mounting external storage.

to the usb port is not energized, because of the limitation of voltage. for the same reason it is not possible acceleration processor. I think all problem of in file power_management.bin but I don`t know exactly

what is the purpose to mounting external storage while you can use usb utlities to connect to the pc?

ever try OTG?
many things can do with the OTG,
for some reasons you can mounting a HDD ext. or a flashdisk devices into our device and read what's inside from your phone.
else you can mounting a joystick either ps2 or ps3 (with a cable of course) into our device and playing with that. or etc.
that's mean Mobile. that's mean simple and more important is you will not carried your pc on your back.
