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!

So I have a post floating around on XDA from months ago about my usb mounting not coming up when plugging my phone to PC. I have been using my digital cable box which has a usb connection to charge my phone. Oddly enough it shows my usb connected sometimes when plugged into that but never when connected to PC. Sorry if any typos i hate typing on my phone. Would love to get my usb mounting back. I just use airdroid for file transfer but need wifi to use it.

Make sure the correct drivers are installed. Connect it and check on device manager how your phone is identified.
you can find the drivers on the iset thread

I would like to use USB Thumb-Flash Drives like they are doing with the Nexus 7 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It is the GT-P3113 using recent CM10 - Android 4.1.1. I have tried the USB connector as noted below to connect the tablet and with its OEM cord to a USB drive and does not work or recognize it. I have used other drives and have tried using Stickmount app. I have tried to search for specific info, found some post that the idea is possible but can't find any details how. I have seen a possible connector USB OTG but don't know the difference. Any details as to how would be much appreciated thanks.

You need a USB OTG cable (the gender changer may work, but im not sure it will enable host mode, the otg cable definitely does). You can get them for two pounds / dollars on ebay. I am using mine with a 32gb usb stick.

Wondering why people say the lack of sd card is no go when theirs usb on the go
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
usb-otg is nice but you have to carry around at least one more "device".
a sdcard is installed "once" and you never have to think about it again.
Hello, the answer for your question is, when the device you are using acts as a host for any of external storage, the *battery drain* is alot faster than normal condition and obviously you cannot charge it at the same time. The phone can withstands that condition for about 20-30 minutes. So the USB OTG Is a no go as compared to SDCard.
If battery is not the issue, go for it!!!
Also if you are thinking of forcefully adding OTG capability to your device using root permissions, THINK TWICE. It may cause damage/ burning of internal hardware.
Hope I helped you.

I really thought USB OTG was nice, until I realized that you would have no way to charge to device while watching a movie.
If you're listening to songs then it's a hassle to have that extra wire and drive sticking out from the phone.
However, USB OTG is still very useful for being able to have a keyboard to type with when you don't have access to a computer

I install the usb connector and insert a usb memory and copy some files, everything works fine. Until the next time I want to do it. Then the connector is recognized but the usb memory is not. Inserting it revokes no response from the system. I'm forced to reboot in order to see the memory stick again. I always tap the memory stick reminder in the notification bar before removing it. Does anyone else encounter the same problem?

I don't generally have an issue but I'm not rooted.
Is it formatted as fat32 or exfat?
There was an app in a post just like this one that someone recommended to help with this issue.

I'm not rooted, stock all the way. I'll have to check the USB stuck since I'm not sure what the formatting is, but I believe I formatted it on my Win 7 laptop and that may default to exfat.

Nope, a lot actually default to NTFS...
Did you just rip it out of the note or stop the usb drive from inside settings>storage usb drive>unmount? This may make a difference...
I unmounted it, but from the notification bar, the system responded by saying that the stick was safely removed. Could it be the OTG adapter? I use the one I got with my GT-P3113 but they are both Samsung tablets and it is recognized when inserted.
Should mention that I use the usbstock in my Transformer without any problems so I doubt that it is the formatting.

Can tell us exactly what kind of memory and the brand that you are having issues with?

It is a 64 GB USB memory stick. Buffalo from Japn, but made in China.
Works like a charm on my ASUS Transformer.

OTG host cable support for input devices on Jelly Bean is spotty. As was noted in the Google Code forums in January, Google has now modified it's Nexus specs page to drop references to OTG, BT support now is the only method mentioned for attaching devices. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41206
My infuse has had no download mode for like years, It actually won't connect to my PC at all, yet it charges... my battery drains very quickly, the phone is laggy, I bought a jig for it, didn't fix anything, tried full wiping everything and a bunch of different roms, if anyone has any ideas, it would sure be appreciated... Thnx

Try differents cables and make sure u have the usb drivers for your phone.

Yeah I have an s3 also and that connects fine, it has to be something with the infuse, cause I can't flash anything cant update my bootloader or go back to stock.... anyone know if there's some part of the software that can be wiped or something to fix the usb problem...?

I've been in the same boat for a few months. Charge yes. Download mode yes. PC see phone on USB no. Power button failed and replaced it. Asked the place that fixed it about the USB problem and they replaced the USB connection but this didn't help. They said could be a bad USB controller. I've flashed multiple ROMs with full wipe and same story. New USB cables don't help. It seems it must be software related. Have removed all Samsung drivers from my PC and reloaded to no avail. I'd really like to return to stock or GB because I miss taking movies and listening to streaming music without chop. And I think I'm getting old and lazy. Fair likelihood I'll get an S3 or S4 soon and give the infuse to my kid. Maybe I'll something bigger...
