USB OTG stopped working - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
got my wonderful note 10.1 on christmas, some days afterwards I ordered an adapter from amazon.
well, it worked for the first 10-20 tries, but then my note doesnt recognize anything. neither the stupid adapter, nor usb-sticks or controller.
Just wondering if somebody have the same problem
I was on the german JB FW, yesterday I updated to taiwanese/chinese JB, but it still wont work.
And is it true that the note 10.1 has a special security ciruit so too powerful devices wont work?
Cause I tried my 2.5 hdd on the note, it recogniced it as a high-powered device and wont be used. (of course crap, I know)
then I tried the hdd on my galaxy s3 and it got powered. So, what did samsung ****ed up with the note 10.1.
Is some part inside faulty for this crap, or did they messed up otg with the latest jb update?? Or ist my adapter just broken?
cheers guys, I hope for response^^

USB OTG stops responding 4.2.1
Ok here is what I have found on this, I find that the first time I connect a USB Device to my Tablet after a Fresh Boot, it works Normally.
However Often times once the remove the USB OTG cable I will often loose the ability to have devices Recognized again. Also if at anytime while plunging in or un-plugin the the cables the Device sometimes says that it sees a High power device (not sure if this is caused by a short or what) but if this happens I loose all ability for devices to be recognized.
The Two things i have found that Fix this issue are.
ONE: Restart the Tablet.
Two: Un-mount and Re-mount the SD Card.
This looks to be like a issue how the new JB software and the driver for the 30pin slot. hopefully Samsung will address this issue with a hotfix or when they update to 4.2.2
In the mean time i hope this helps.

usb connection with pc suddenly dead

Hello suddenly my nexus s stopped connecting with data with the pc it only charges, tried with 3 diffrent computers with diffrent os , no menu popping on nexus and nothing connected on the computer(like i didnt connect anything), i removed the battery left it for some time installed stock rom still nothing.It was acting normally for a second and the other it stopped any help appreciated!
Are you sure you're using the cable that came with the phone? I have an LG Wink featurephone here that uses the same connector at the phone end -- its cable will charge my Nexus S (using the computer, obviously, but also when used with either the LG or Samsung charger) but no USB connection happens when I use it. Only the cable that came with my Nexus S provides a USB connection when I connect to the computer. I guess there are pinout differences between the two cables.
If you're sure you're using the right cable, I would guess that it's gone bad if it doesn't work on any computer. You can buy an (overpriced) replacement from Samsung or maybe a cheaper one on eBay or at a retail store. If the latter, be sure the seller lists it as compatible with the Nexus S.
it happened with the original cable ppfff i dont know...
same problem

Hi
I have the same problem
I have no idea what the problem could be.
We are not alone with this problem: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13553
Now installed stock rom as well but still the same problem.
If i starting the NS in the bootloader mode the phone is not recognized by the computer.
It would be great, if someone knows a solution!

I've been trying to get help with this for weeks. No one is even responding to my posts. I thought it was something OBSURDLY simple, such that people didn't even want to waste their time responding to me.
Seeing same problem, No connetion via USB
Posted problem in General,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104245
Tried different cords, different computers and operating systems,, did cold start several times on phone (removed battery) still no luck, I am running totally stock
Curious do any of you have the Google Music Beta?? (maybe a over zealous rights thing?)
just tried it with a Win 7 machine that had never seen it before and it said it could not recognize the device,, me thinks that the MS device driver DB is messed up buy some recent Win update??
i sent it to samsung to change my usb slot because after connecting to pc and nothing happen when i went to charge the phone it took 5 hours to get to 30% so iam almost sure that mini usb slot malfunctions

My phone charges just fine. And my USB connectivity was fine until I manually installed 2.3.4.
~I had usb connection problems after upgrade to 2.3.4 a bit different but I managed to get the USB back by formatting the SD card.

I was on 2.3.3 when this happened, i tried to flash 2.3.4 then and again it didnt work but the strange thing is that when i was moving the mini usb the first times up and down it was shown for a moment as a broken usb device.Then this stopped and was not shown at all on the computer and finally the phone charged super slow when connected to electricity
Beginning to believe that it is a physical prob with USB connector on phone. It seems to start/stop charging when wiggling usb on phone but no mounting. Doe anyone know best way to resolve , T-mobile but bought from Best Buy? so to Best Buy? FOR SUPPORT /EXCHANGE? suggestions?
I've seen loose connections before. My suggestion ain't the cheapest but the plug, on the cable end, shouldn't wiggle. I went to a corporate sprint store, the ones that actually have working display phones, and got their usb to micro usb data cable. The thing with that cable is when you plug it in the phone side, it goes into the jack firmly. You can almost feel the little locking tabs click into place. There should be no play or wiggle with that cable as long as there's no damage or abuse with the jack on the phone. IMO, that's a good data cable. It's never given me problems before.
Also, sometimes the cable is only wired for charging. A true data cable will be wired correctly and be able to both charge and transfer data. Usually the cables that come with the phone are crap quality. I don't know if my suggestion will help but it won't hurt to have a good cable for data transfer and flashing. The last thing you want is a flaky connection from a cheap cable when you're flashing roms. Russian roulette with bricking a phone in a worse case situation.
Did you try reboot the computer and the phone? How about a different usb port? How about unplug any other usb device in case it's conflicting for some unknown reason? It sounds like so many people with windows 7 are having problems. Usually always happens with a new os that's released. Xp, for flashing devices and programming different hardware devices, has never given of a problem. I have a small partition with xp on it just for that purpose only.
off to Samsung for repair for me...
After time on phone with them and a factory reset belief is that the usb connector is defective. BTW Best Buy just hands off to Samsung 1-800 #
So Back to a barely functional G-1 for a while, glad I could find it!
So is Samsung or the carriers replacing or fixing units?
My USB data died shortly after 2.3.4 ota update.
Wifi FTP is fine for data transfer but I want USB debug to work...
Shame on google and Samsung, this bug has been around for months.
no shame on anyone...
I went through a factory reset with Samsung on phone that isolated the problem to what is apparently a loose usb connector, nothing to do with software... only hassle is sending it in for repair, as` mentioned problem needs to be dealt with Samsung customer service (not carrier or Best Buy), they were fine on phone...

[Q] samsung usb connection kit proble

Iam using N 8010 with xxblj9 German JB firmware on it.
Recently i purchased Samsung USB connection kit ,when i tried usb and card reader its getting connected ,opening
my files ,then getting disconnected showing message USB unexpectedly removed.
Is this because of the firmware not supported or problem with usb connection kit?
Mathew
Unplug your device.
Download the latest version of Kies and install it.
Try again.
Turn USB debugging off if that doesn't work.
I can't say how close the 8010 is to the 8000 but I would assume that they would be much the same except for the 3g...
Anyway, I have a usb connector, 3rd party i found on ebay for around $10. It works fine with my usb sticks, not for anything that requires power, HDD and playstation controllers... I use a 32gb thumbdrive in it and can use it to read/write data to and from it with no errors... The one I got also has an sd card reader in it too and that works fine also...
Not sure what could be wrong with yours but would suggest going to store, playing with demo model and trying again... This will rule out the usb hub as the culprit or point the finger....

Are you on stock Jelly Bean.
This happens to me only with jelly bean,i tried on ICS ,works perfectly.
So i reckon the problem is with Jelly bean OS and this could be bcz im using German firmware which is for N8000.
Mine is N8010 ,this could be the reason.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I will look forward for original N8010 JB release,hope that would be ok for the USB Kit.

Will the Samsung EPL-1PL0BEGXAR USB Connection Kit labeled for the Tab 10.1 work on a stock Note 10.1 (8013)?
yes it should all tab have the same connector, the connector has not much to do only certain pins combination change which give different functions
What I mean the connector itself is an passive device not an active device its like connecting the correct sequence of cable to complete the circuit, once it does that its up to the device and connecting device to communicate

[Q] USB Connection Kit

Hi Everyone,
I just picked upo the Samsung USB Connection Kit Plus to mount SD cards and USB sticks/drives to my Galaxy note 10.1 (N8010). I'm having an issue with this connection kit, it keeps mounting and immediately dismounting my media. It will mount just long enough for me to breifly see the list of files that are on my media and then unmount again. Is there a compatibility issue, whether it's an issue with the N8010 note, or incompatibility with the 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware that I have on the device? Some other setting that might be interfering (I disabled USB debugging)? The media I have tried so far are all formatted as FAT32.
If anyone has any advice on how I could remedy this issue, it would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Nick
Faulty cable, adapter or even usb drive
Are you connecting a hard drive or pen drive, it wont support a hard drive.
If you are having the problem with usb drive then there may be an issue with the connector or pen drive check whether the pen drive works on your laptop if that is the case then for sure the connector is faulty get it replaced. Would be surprised if it does not work bec i get the cheap ones for 1.5 dollar which work great
Figured it out, kinda
So I took the connection kit back to the store and plugged it into a new Note 10.1 (8010 wifi, with stock 4.04 ICS), and it worked without issue. It looks like the connection kit either doesn't like Jelly Bean, or the fact that I have the N8000 firmware loaded onto my N8010 device. Will try the German version of the N8010 firmware to see if it works. If anyone could confirm that the connection kit works with JB it would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] EPL-1PLRBE support

I bought one of these assuming it would work on my Note 10.1 but it doesn't seem to be working. I get the USB connector connected message, but when I plug in a FAT32 formated SD card nothing happens. It works great on my Tab 2 7.0. As well, an OTG cable with a card reader in it also works on my Tab 2 7.0, but not the Note 10.1. Should these devices work on my Note 10.1, or is there a problem with 10.1? If they're not expected to work OOTB, is there a fix to get them to work with the Note 10.1?
Regards,
Todd
Some may not work on the Note or other devices.. Read before buying
Nah, that ain't it. The connector is the same, and even my knockoff Chinese devices that never mention the Note 10.1 work.
OP, what version of the OS are you running? By "nothing happens", do you mean not even a notification in the status bar?
Update: The software update Samsung just pushed out appears to have corrected the problem. Both the devices mentioned below now work just fine. Talk about timing!

Well I'm pretty sure this is a Samsung device, although it could be a knock-off,
but it's labeled just like the Samsung device. I'm running standard Samsung
version for the Note 10.1 GT-N8013, which is Android 4.1.2, kernel version
3.0.31-813049, build number JZO54K.N8013UEUCMB3.
When I plug in the reader, I get "USB connector connected" message. If I plug
in an SD card, nothing. If I do the same thing on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, "USB
mass storage connected" displays when I plug in an SD card and the file browser
comes up.
I also have what I suspect is a cheap Chinese knockoff device called GALAXY Tab
OTG Connection that provides an SD card reader, USB OTG, and MicroSD reader.
It's also labeled 5+1 in 1. It too works perfectly on my Tab 2 7.0, but does
the same thing as the EPL-1PLRBE on the Note 10.1.
So how do I know if they just aren't compatible, or if the Note has a problem?
Regards,
Todd

[Q] Can't use OTG on Tab 7.7

Hi all, I have had a Tab 7.7 for 12 months and have been using an OTG adaptor to copy jpegs from my camera's SD card to the external SD card in my Tab. All of a sudden the whole process has stopped working. My Tab 7.7 has ICS 4.0.4. and is NOT rooted. Previously when I plug in the OTG adaptor the File Manager appears showing the folders on the SD card in the adaptor. When I plug it in now I get the message "USB mas storage removed safely" and that's it. I was thinking I might re-flash the rom but since I can't even get Odin to load on my windows 8 PC (it flashes on the pc monitor then goes off) I really can't be bothered. I went to the trouble of running Odin on a windows 7 PC at least it loaded on 7 but wouldn't acknowledge the Tab being connected. I thought I might have a driver problem, but has anyone on this site tried downloading a driver for samsung tab 7.7, it's a bloody nightmare. You get all sorts of crap from checking what drivers are missing or outdated on your PC then having to by a copy for $29.95. I'm really over it. When I rooted my Mororola xoom 12 months ago and flashed ICS I had no problems at all, there wasn't a link like we have now that sends you to a site that takes 5 hours to download a tar file or you could buy a subscription and do it in 9 mins. Can anyone please offer any assistance with my problem before I toss it in the bin. Many thanks
Yeah maybe try a few different things connected to see what exactley is the problem.do you have any other usb things you could connect?

Thanks, I tried a laser mouse and the led under the mouse dosent light so I suspect the 5volt rail has gone somewhere. I'll pull the back off and check connector. I will post outcome.
Have you tried a different sd card?

Yes sure have, 3 to be exact. I've changed my mind about looking for 5 volts on the usb connector. I'm just not going to bother trying to connect a SD card through the USB port. Life is too short to stuff around
