Hey guys as the title say I want to know can we connect our device A110 to any hard disks so that we can use extra data.
I am able to watch 720p movies of size larger than 4gb via usb otg on the A110.
If we can connect it with any portable hard disks it would if great.

Good +1
you powered the drive externally with the converter...
i think power is the issue here and not the memory capacity
yes

So maybe there can be some mod which can make the device use more power to run the drives that could be very useful
for all those who failed to connect usb hdd, please check its format...NTFS file system is not supported as of now .. convert to fat 32 and try again...

be careful when you use mods that tamper with the USB power. you may burn it and render the usb useless even for charging perhaps. the OTG is to be used in a controlled manner. there are enough warnings not to be used for a long time continuously. just do a google and you will come to know.

hmm maybe you are right but I've seen some tablets and even some chinise phablets run the hard disk via otg
If someone knows how much power is required to run a specific portable hard disk (maybe different disk use different amt of power) and can mod the usb output power we can beta test that mod and see if that cause any damage to either of the devices

ntfs system is not the problem..
I use my 16gb sandisk pen drive with ntfs file system
it can be mounted using the paragon ntfs & hfs+ software..
the main issue is the power that is supplied the the device via usb otg if that can be controlled safely to run the drive it will allow a110 users to use their portable disks

Yes it is. You need a host USB adapter like one of this
I have one 4 in 1 adapter that have USB, MicroUSB and Memory Slots, portable hard drive also work in it.

Is ur portable hard drive in NTFS file system? if so, what app do u use to read files in NTFS system? I believe the stock app doesnt have support for NTFS system..

But, I would recommend that any storage you want to use with the tab be Fat32 format, since that is native.
HI guys, I am very satisfied with this phone when I got it a week ago. However, I was facing sometimes my phone unable to mount USB OTG storage, I mean the USB drive won't lit at all / detect by phone, I have to reboot the phone then it only gets detected. Any other way round to solve this without rebooting?
I haven't had trouble using my OTG usb stick so far. Have you tried using Nexus Media Importer? It lets you mount/unmount on demand.
Does it show the USB drive as unmounted in the Storage menu?
Also, did you try a different thumb drive with a different filesystem on it? I cannot reproduce your issue at all.
Ok after my investigation, the USB OTG still works but just the USB port of my phone unable to supply power, if I use a power bank + USB hub then connect to my phone, my phone detects the USB drive. Similar to somewhat my phone requires external power to mount. But if I reboot my phone then the USB OTG work properly again though. Until I remove and remount it next time, then the problem occur again.
Currently my phone setup as my signature. No custom kernel but just recovery.

Ok I know whats the problem now. You can try during deep sleep insert in your USB OTG. It can't detect at all even if you remove and reinsert. Have to reboot the phone. So my guess is right I think. The phone have to screen on to insert USB OTG or else it cannot detect.

few older phones supported 500gig portable hard drive too but did not support 1tb, my phone will be delivered tomorrow I'll update here then.
Fingers crossed.
I just tried a 16GB USB drive through an OTG cable, and it didn't detect it. My screen was on, and I was running stickmount as well.
I had to restart the phone to get it to detect.
I have the same issue with my N8010. Have to restart to get it to recognise the USB.
Hopefully, there will be a simple solution to this.

Well it seems in my case it's rather random, sometimes USB drives (or HDD's) will mount, other times nothing happens at all, while some drives refuse to mount at all.
Maybe it's faulty cable don't know?
I have problem
I was able to mount USB 3.0 64 gb without any formating, and it shows in settings too, but now I can't see it in settings and in El file explorer it is very slow.. What should I do, I can't format to fat32
Same Problem
I can not get any drive to stay mounted, cable works fine on nexus 5 so do the drives but no luck with opo has anyone any info on this since oct 2014 post
I can not get any drive to work too. I tried variuos, from 1gb to 500gb, also tried with FAT and NTFS, none of them working. Please help. I am using CM12S, newest firmware, it doesnot work, on 11S it did not worked, i tried on Oxygen OS, doesnot work too.

Do you mean read/write to your PC HDD?
If not your phone does not have a HDD, instead it uses flash memory not formatted in NTFS

Well If it's a USB HDD it is unlikely to work as mobile phones don't offer enough power over USB to keep an HDD running (Not any that I have tried anyway) but if it is in another PC or NAS then you should be able to as there are many apps (Not that I can remember any but I'll have a look)
I have recently purchased 1Tb seagate expansion hdd. I have asked my friends who have HDDs and Nexus 5.. I asked them if there hdd works with usb otg in nexus 5 both said yes, one has Toshiba 1tb and other one has seagate 500 gb expansion hdd. both said it's recognizing the hdd.
And the guy with Toshiba hdd said he can copy to hdd too. When i connected mine with Nexus 5,it recognizes fine, but when i try to make a new folder it says "operation failed". And when I try to copy files it just shows try again. I've done all this with es explorer.
Anyone knows what the problem is. My guess is the formatting of the hdd is not compatible. Can anyone tell me what format does android support.?
I'm on NX experience ROM.
Waiting for the replies soon ??

Go with fat32 or exFAT.
Also , open the disk from the file structure and not from the left-hand panel. ESFE sometimes behaves .... oddly.

I suppose you are rooted - if so , install stickmount , it will auto-mount the hdd in /sdcard/usb , which will allow you to use the external hdd as if it was the phone's storage.
If you aren't there might be problems , but you never know.

Try Fat32 as well if u don't mind the 4 gb filesize limit. Speed will increase - usb 2.0 can only transfer around 15 to 20 mb/s

Probably. If your device doesn't support the filesystem then it won't work.
Hi,
I am extremely sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.
I got my Mi4i on the first flash. As soon as I got the phone, I did the MIUI 6.5.3.0 (LXIMICD) update. I did not check the USB OTG before the update, so not sure if it worked before the update or not. When I tried USB OTG, the Mount USB storage option is greyed out - always. I tried 2 different USBs and 2 different cables - still no luck. I am starting to suspect if its something wrong with this ROM release, as lots of areas in the setting is greyed out for me (for example, in the Headphones and Audio effects settings, the equalizer settings are always greyed out). So, have any of you tried USB OTG on MIUI 6.5.3.0? Any insights?
Yes I can assure u that USB OTG is working fine on MIUI 6.5.3.0
Check if the USB is a fat32 or ntfs?
Ntfs file system doesn't work with mi4i
Format the pen drive in fat32 and try again
I also tired a sd card reader it works brilliantly
Audio settings will be greyed out until u plugin headphones. Try any earphones or headphones then check if it still is greyed out

Thank you for the reply but I am still facing the issue...
Yes, the file system is Fat32 and the mi4i is still not recognizing the USB. Since the USB OTG is working fine for you, I suspect my OTG cable might be damaged ( weird- I tried 2 different cables).. Maybe I should try a different OTG pen drive?
PS: You were right about the audio settings, those worked when I plugged in the headphone..

If you're USB or SD Card is of huge capacity it may take time to load so I would suggest you to wait for a while, Android checks if the storage has an errors. It doesnt show in MIUI though. But wait for a while after plugging in.

Aren't there root apps which enable ntfs support by installing a ntfs-3g driver?
The functionality is kernel-baked and not all kernels support the ntfs-3g driver. Also Xiaomi seems reluctant to release its sources anytime soon. There are alternatives like Stickmount however.
