Just tried out my generic usb otg I bought off of amazon for my note 2 and it works flawlessly.
If anyone needs the link I can post it up. It was pretty inexpensive.

Thanks for the tip. After reading this I popped mine in and it automatically recognized it. Another reason to love this little device lol.

some phones don't have power-out on their micro usb ports, and don't support OTG cables as a result. if you're referring to the note (2 or 8.0), then carry on.
an OTG cable really is a worthwhile accessory for the 8.0, though. it's as good as having a second micro sd slot. more storage options is never a bad thing.

Given that the Note 8.0 lacks nfc, I consider otg to be the most convenient method of transferring files between my note 2 and the tablet.

Have you tried using "WiFi Direct" to transfer files between the two devices? It's lightning fast! Faster than the USB/OTG.

I bought a USB OTG cable locally here in South Africa for the equivalent of $2. Its works perfectly and its able to power my WD 2TB 2.5" drive no problems. Also powers my WD 500gb 2.5"

Have not tried NTFS myself but can't think of a reason it wouldn't work if NTFS is supported by Android.
What model number usb drives are working with your Note?

Thanks for the reply man. Hmmm..bought a OTG cable yesterday and tried to connect my 1TB HDD.The HDD powered up just fine..but i can't find the HDD in ES File Manager. Any ideas? I tried searching the net but found only references on android being able to natively read only FAT HDDs, hence my first question.

Now, that said, check out the following app

I don't know for a fact that NTFS works with Android as I never tried. I use ExFat and Fat32. Both are supported. NTFS will work if you get that app though.

Does exFat definitely work with our Note 8.0? I've just tried to connect my exFAT formatted HDD using a USB OTG but there's no sign of it. What am I doing wrong? Apologies for asking what will no doubt be a ridiculously stupid question...

I know it does with every other Galaxy device I have including Note 2. though I have since formatted my SD card to Fat32 so couldn't verify for you. I do believe it is.

Just curious does the nexus 5 have properly functional usb org? I know the 4 had issues and I'm seriously considering this phone so I want to know going if it'll work.
Sent from my microwave...
couldn´t you care enough to write your request correct?
usb ORG ???
USB OTG? I assume?
It should. It was mentioned in the leaked service manual. It was supposed to be the in N4 but it wasn't powered so the device had to be powered itself which nearly defeats the purpose of having USB On-The-Go functionality. I am pretty sure Google wants this included.
That being said, I do not have the device yet. But I made the assumption myself that it will be a feature. I am planning on getting an USB OTG and a small HDD so I can interchange movies I want to watch.
If it doesn't have USB OTG, well even if it does, I might get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DR8LBAK...UTF8&colid=FM53JINJQWF5&coliid=I1XFD8MJC41TD0
I guess I believe native OTG will work, but I bought this http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Wir...=1383381104&sr=1-1&keywords=ravpower+wireless just before the USB host "dirty" fix was engineered for N4. Very flexible--power bank, SD case and flash drive ports, broadcasts to mutliple devices/formats simultaneously, and allows web pass-thru when web Wi-Fi is available.

Interestingly, OTG isn't enabled by default in the kernel, so the stock kernel shipping out with the phone definitely doesn't have OTG support.

I hope that's the case and that it just isn't enable yet

I have a galaxy note 10.1 model number gt-n8013. I bought a usb adapter for it. When I plug the adapter in to the note it tells me "usb connecter connected" however when I plug a usb drive nothing happens. It literally is like I did not plug anything in. The drive is not found in my file manager. I have tried several usb thumbdrives and they are all the same. I have tried fat32 and ntfs formats. According to samsung they should be in fat32. I have tried stickmount and a 3rd party file manager as well with no luck.
Last week I went in to best buy and talked with their samsung people and the geek squad. We tried everything we could think of and 1 hour later still no luck. I am at a loss for what to do.
My device is not rooted. Would a difderent rom allow me to mount a usb drive? The device is supposed to be able to mount one already but it is not working.
Any help is very much appreciated!

Hey guys, im planning on buying an usb stick and of course i will use it on my nexus 5 too. I am thinking of this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AXWOLO6/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers
But i don't know if 64 gb is supported by Usb OTG, has someone tried or can try and come back to me?
Edit: It worked, if anyone is wondering.

Via its usb 3.0 connection, there is no way to connect an additional power source, it's a portable drive so there is no additional power source

Ok. Its just that unlike Samsung galaxy s3 (onwards) the nexus 5 cannot power mechanical drives through its USB host port. I expect you'd need a powered USB hub to power and use a mechanical drive.

Would a third party Rom like cyanogen make the drive work? Or is it a hardware issue?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hardware as far as I know. The S3 was the first that could do this without external power. Not all devices follow suit. Mechanical parts require a lot of power compared to flash

So any size usb stick or a external drive with its own power source. I'm using a 128gb stick.

I can't say if there's a limit on mechanical drives or not.

Its built-in all ready. After rooting all you need is an app like stickmount. Or if you change rom most of them have the software you need allready in there.

Is your drive in NTSF format? Android only recognizes FAT32. Try a drive formatted as FAT32 and see what happens.
I am using my 1TB WD harddrive(ntfs).
It works fine with StickMount. I never needed external power source.
But it eats the battery extremely fast at almost 1%-2% per minute.
But the USB-Y cable should work fine for powering usb hard drive.

@yuepc000 - I don't have a drive.
I guys, today I tried to Wireless Charge while using the USB-OTG to copy some files (practically, it makes sense for me, since there is no need to connect the cable to the Nexus, we could be using that port to USB-OTG and charge at the same time).
I was surprised when it didn't work. I can't understand why would they implement this. Since it's not charging from cable, it could be charging by wireless...
It's not a defect from mine, right?
Anyway, thanks for your attention.

It's not a defect. You need a custom kernel that supports Qi Charging while using USB OTG if you want that.
Are you sure it's a kernel limitation? Do you know any that supports it?

May not be a hardware limitation. But probably a very low priority for implementation
One way I've try to offset this limitation is to plug my OTG cable into a powered USB hub. All attached USB devices use the hub for power greatly reducing the battery drain on the phone/tablet.
