No issues here.
I just tested a stick as well as my wireless mouse, both work fine.
No problem for me. Was able to restore my titanium backup from my usb stick.

are you guys using the OTG drive or the OTG cable?
Working fine.
I used a 2 inch otg cable with a 32gb thumb drive.

I just mounted a 2TB HDD but with an external power Source. Size is not the problem, but without a external powersource, u will need a USB Y cable. Plug the single end into your tab, the other two are to connected with a powersource (battery with usb or just into your tablet charger) and your hdd. Done

Thanks for answering friend ...
Was it NTFS or FAT32 ?
did you use any usb managering app?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk 2
NTFS of course... but i think its capable of mounting every format if running extetnal via usb dongle. If you are on stock, your tab should recognize the new data source automaticallly. If not, use *stickmount* from chainfire in the play store. (Root required)

Just plug it into your hard drive, the other end goes into your tab. That one whats left goes into a usb port with powersource. (Your tablet charger or an iphone charger. For travelling i use a external battery with usb output.) Could not be easier dude...

So you have to buy one. A modern laptop can provide enough to make the hd work, this tab can't.

Don't think so buddy. With the symptoms you have described on the OP, the only way you can get it to work is with a power cord extension.
It's is not even a guaranteed method, and if you don't take real care with the second power source you may damage your hdd.
This is the cable, by the way:

Nexus S cannot supply enough power to external devices. This is because of old hardware.
Even if you connect a device, I doubt if you'll have a good experience using USB OTG.
Does the Note 12.2 generate enough power to run self powered mass storage devices? or we have to use powered USB Hub ?
My note pro doesn't run any kind of mass storage devices ( I'm not rooted )
One says external power needed and the other one keep ticking .
my Note 3 run them with no problems.
any one with note pro pls test and advice back.

I tried one on my NotePro but no joy: but, then I can't even get a flash drive to mount. The drive works fine with my older Xoom. With the NotePro it doesn't even power up.

Which USB ptg cable do you have? I have a couple of different ones. I managed to get one of them to let me connect my dive computer and download, but not any of the drives.
I have one that converts the USB 3.0 micro B to a standard USB. It seems to be pretty good. It is a solid piece instead of a cable, but it doesn't work with anything, including my dive computer.

Did you try to use Mass storage before rooting? as one of the posters mentioned that root will give extra permission to fire mass storage with out external power? he said root and instal stick mount / folder mount and enjoy.
I'm afraid to root before making sure that it is not a hardware problem as service center in our area don't know Even that we can mount mass storage device.

I dont have any?? I rooted mine as soon as it was available. I was just making sure the answer provided before hand had taken into account that the original posters hard drive was not powered by its own power source. It wasn't clear from the answer I quoted beforehand. I dont see the point in any android device without root.

I agree root is a must but once root warranty will void so i need to make sure that device is free off hardware problems (which I'm not sure).

It's been a while since I've last messed with it, but my memory says I had issues reading an OTG-ready flash drive until I used my bacon to format the drive in the OS (not recovery). It recognized that I had a drive plugged in, but it couldn't read anything I had on it.
Bear in mind, you'll wipe everything from the drive if you do this, but it was the only way to format the drive so that my phone could read it. But again, it's been a while since I did this last.
