[Q] EPL-1PLRBE support - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Todd

[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.

Works fine on JB...

I will try it on my n8010.
Thanks in advance.

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

USB OTG stopped working

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^^

My otg worked on ics, not the best (cheap one from amazon) but worked. I updated to the german 4.1.2 and it connects then disconnects right away. Wont stay connected for more then 2 seconds. I have read about otg problems with JB but thennothers say it works fine on JB. Im lost
sent from my jelly bean infused note 10.1
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.

[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

64GB SDXC problem (already rooted)

Ok, so I have run into some problem which I cannot figure out. I have this Toshiba Micro SDXC 64GB (Japan) for 3 month in the Tab3 8.0 w/o issue. When I tried it in the Note Pro 12.2 and it failed to transfer files just like most KatKit users have experienced, so I rooted mine and tried again, not working. This same card has been working fine in both Tab2 7 & Tab3 8 (all rooted) w/o issue when transferring files from USB. Different cables different ports, different format (exFAT and FAT32), quick or full format, formatted inside Note Pro 12.2 or not, also same result. Is it possible it is merely a capability issue, or the Note Pro 12.2 simple cannot handle 64GB SD properly?
Now I know the root works because I also tried my Samsung Micro SDXC 32GB (Korea) in the 12.2 and it works perfectly even copying 28GB video/audio/eBooks through USB2.0 or 3.0 at once, so my 12.2 doesn't seem to be defective. I hate to spend more on another SD but ended up not working either. Any advice? Or any known working 64GB in this device?
*** UPDATE ***
Ok, I just bought a genuine Sandisk Ultra 64GB locally and it works! So, it is the Toshiba card, which perhaps was a counterfeit even though all tests suggest it is fine? At least I can start using my 12.2 instead of troubleshooting. Wasted 2 days.
AFAIK the act of merely rooting doesn't address the permission issues of Kitkat.
I think to assist others in helping you with your issue they may benefit by having a specific example of what isnt working (though I know you tried to be specific, its just all a jumble). Can you give a specific example of how a transfer fails with start to finish details? At least then others can try to replicate things on their devices.
From what you're describing though if you're replicating an action with the 32GB card that you have vs the 64GB and both are formatted the same then it must be a compatibility issue with the 64GB card.
For me I've been using a Sandisk Extreme Plus 64gb that was formatted exFAT out of the box. I've typically placed video files in the 1GB to 2.5GB range onto the card while inserted in the tablet via USB 2.0 cable from a macbook running mavericks w/ android file transfer and have just tested the placement of a 12GB file using USB 2.0 cable from my PC running windows 7 via simple drag and drop. I'm currently rooted and have applied the group definition permission fix to my platform.xml file.
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I modified the platform.xml too.
I merely copied files from W7 through USB and it would copy some files and then soon stopped and the SD would disappear. It's the same as if the device wasn't rooted at all being mentioned in another thread. But this only happens to this specific card only.
Must be the card if other cards being used the same way don't exhibit the same behavior. If both cards did it then perhaps it would be a driver issue.

[Q] How to make Note 12.2 LTE read/write HDD in NTFS?

Hi everyone! It appears really not so simple to make LTE version to support NTFS-formatted hard drives. First, LTE version does not give enough power to USB port to support hard disks. Unlike Wi - Fi version, or phablets like Note 3 or Note 2, which do not have any problem with that. That is already disappointing. May be there is any patch to solve this problem? Otherwise only solution left is to connect hard drives with extra power supply, from external battery for example, and by doing this to sacrifice mobility. Secondly, even if you managed to make your hard drive work with Note 12.2 LTE, it does not support NTFS, not even with root and special software like one from Paragon, which works with most of other devises. That's because SELinux is set to Enforcing mode in Note 12.2 LTE, and for NTFS support Permissive mode is needed. And to be able to change it to Permissive, one should, I've heard, to flash custom kernel to devise, which is really too much for getting such a simple functionality as NTFS support...
So, the question is, is there any other way, more easy and simple?
And the other question is, why Google (and Sumsung) made such a big deal out of such a basic functionality as this? Really, really disappointing...
Uh, the LTE version powers external hard drives just fine... It has no issue reading my 3 NTFS 2TB WD Elements drives over the official OTG cable. Even three at the same time over a USB hub.
Au contraire, it's the Exynos that lacks the power. The Snapdragon 800 has never had an issue with powering external HD's.
It can READ it just fine. It plays videos, music and magazines perfectly well.
Writing, however... Well, it's Linux. Linux has always hated NTFS.
I've got one additional 2TB drive formatted in exFAT. Supports files up to over several terabyte in size and you can read/write to it on pretty much every system, including Android. (except older Windows.)
They did not incorporate NTFS because NTFS is licensed and patented by Microsoft.
If you have root try Paragon NTFS AND HSF app. Did not tried on my Note Pro (no root) but work well on Note 10.1 the first.

Well, that's really good news! Thanks.
But what you mean by "official OTG cable"? I've got one, official from Samsung, bought in Samsung store, which was working well with Note 2 and working well now with Note 3, and doesn't work with my Note 12.2 LTE. But this cable is USB 2.0, so I thought may be USB 3.0 is needed. But in all official Samsung stores where I tried to find it (in two countries) they told me that official OTG USB 3.0 still did not come on market. So, what cable do you have? Is it 2.0 or 3.0? And where did you get it?

I've got the one meant for the S2/S3. Bought it through a local webshop, Bol.com. (horrendously unreliable shop, don't order there.)
There are no USB3.0 OTG cables as of yet from Samsung.
Samsung ET-R205UBE USB-OTG
EAN: 8806071451787
That's weird. It loaded the day I bought the OTG cable, but now it gives me a 'blank sdcard' error. (I was going to take a screenshot.)
Yet when I get impatient and just pull out the drive (loading 2TB takes ages on anything), it briefly displays all the folders.
I've got pretty much everything formatted to exFAT these days, though. Oh the hassle of having to deal with Apple users... (which also doesn't support NTFS ootb. Linux, again.)

Yes, I have same cable...But it doesn't work. And not only with mine, it doesn't work also with my friend's Note 12.2 LTE. Strange... May be that is the case of different consignments - first ones came with this problem, and later Samsung made it right...
Well, anyway that's not good...

I find this very frustrating. I know this tablet is more than capable of reading any drive in any format. I bought the AT&T LTE version because I wanted the snapdragon. Now I find out that I cannot mount my drive, which is NTFS due to not being able to set the kernel permissive. I've tried everything except flash the newly posted Verizon Kernel. I wanted to use this as a laptop replacement. I might have to return it now. I don't want to have to reformat. Plus I have too many files on here already and no where to place them while I reformat the drive. This feature works fine on my galaxy note 8.0.

I have the Note pro LTE 12.2 through AT&T and it doesn't supply enough power to read from any of my external hdds. I've tested 8 drives from 64gb to 500gb with 6 different brands, all self powered. Every single drive works great with my note 3 using the same cables. Note 3 and 12.2 were bought from at&t the second they were available. It would appear the LTE 12.2 just doesn't supply enough juice. My coworker has a WiFi model that my drives work with. I can also attach a Samsung external CD rom drive to my note 3 and his 12.2 and run dvds. I can't on my LTE 12.2 note pro.
Signature sooooo out of date. Been away awhile.

That's probably an AT&T setting, because mine can read exFAT and FAT32 well enough without issue. Apparently NTFS has decided once was enough.

Exfat, fat32 has NOTHING to do with it. The needle clicks and the light flashes on the drives. The CD won't fully spin up on the cdrom. If I use a drive that's externally powered, it reads Exfat, ntfs, and fat32 all day long. The tablet doesn't supply enough power for self powered hdds. Has nothing to do with format. Not sure how much clearer I can get.
If power is the issue the one could use one of these and supply power through the second plug.

I knew what you meant the first time, cheers.
My WD Elements 2.5" USB3 1TB Fat32 formatted drive loads just fine. Achingly slow, but fine. (It takes about 10 minutes.) The 320GB NTSF version is a little quicker, but gives me an error.
Mind you, my OLD WD Elements (still USB3 though) does the same as you mention, clicking, displaying an empty drive and not fully starting up. The newer drives don't have this issue.
Back to the subject: so, any ideas how to run NTFS?
I am still waiting for my cable, so I cannot test, however on previous hardware, I was succeful in using below solutions without need of kernel support!
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155363
it does install additional binaries that can be used to mount exfat and NTFS stuff from userspace without kernel module or inbuilt support for above filesystems. It did work for me on other device, on CM11 based rom; also I have used it on Jelly Bean ROMs heavily, (even if somtimes not directly out-of-the-box then I was at least able to trigger the mount command manually or by creating .mountpoint files etc - see description in the topic)
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=pl
A to dla odmiany appka która aż zadziwia - po prostu DZIAŁA(ła) na JB, ktory od momentu instalacji samodzielnie montował ntfs'y bez jakichkolwiek dalszych pytań... Nie wiem czy kompatybilna z kk.
