After I herd that Moto G can use OTG technology I've bought this pendrive Transcend JetFlash 380 8GB to extend memory of the phone. But now I'm sad because the pendrive and the application provided by Transcend(Transcend Elite) won't see my pendrive other applications such as TotalCommander with plugin sees it. But I would like to have native application to work. Especially that the Moto G is on compatibility list on Transcend web page and the app lets you open, copy and save the files on pendrive. I don't know what to do.
It' didn't work on JB and now after update to Kitkat.
I've talked with moto care assistant and she said that otg pendrive should work with extra app.
Question to the users:
Has somebody used the micro usb pendrive directly with Moto G without any OTG wire?
If it says it's compatible on the website I would contact the support on the site, and ask them for help. That's what they're there for.
Good luck!

Yeah I already did that. They gave me crappy solution that did not help. So I replied about this and told about compatibility and fixing it.Still waiting.
That sucks man. I'm sorry I can't be of any further assistance.
Good luck with it. They really should help you.

Regarding Transcend jet flash 380 Compatibility with Moto G...
i purchased moto g dual sim version...i need an otg pendrive for use with moto g...i shortlisted two pen drives 1. transcend jet flash 380 , 2. Sandisk ultra dual...i have some doubts..can we use transcend jet flash 380 with moto G using any file explorer...can we do read and write operations with any file explorer (eg ES file explorer) on transcend jet flash 380...I like transcend than sandisk because of its small size..please help...
Transcend works with third part apps but I am waiting for update from Motorola which probably fix the otg on kitkat. So stay tuned.

is (16) it working fine with moto g dusl sim 16gb?
try unmount and mount pendrive again in settings.
go to settings>storage>unmount otg , then mount again pendrive . now open file manager and try using pendrive,
this works for me .
So when I connect the otg cable and my pendrive, in the notification bar the external storage notification comes, but when I click on that it says empty disc or unsupported content. But I have still checked with just one video file and its still not opening. nor es file explorer can detect my pendrive. And even after I remove the pendrive the notification is still there and it doesn't go until I reboot my phone. Please help.

What format is the pendrive? I'm don't think the Moto G supports anything other than FAT32.
When I plug in my USBkey with an OTG cable nothing happen on my Moto G, no notification at all, nothing more in storage
This was working great on my Ascend P6 and on my LG GPAD8.3
I'm on stock GPE firmware, any help ? I don't want to use third party apps, just want the stock otg support
What FS does your flashdrive has?As you've been told above, make sure it's in FAT32 and not NTFS, exFAT or something else.

It is FAT32
ES file explorer show me a dozen of "usbdisk_1.0" "usbdick_1.1" ... "usbdisk_1.7"
Tried with multiples files explorer
Tried Stickmount OTG, no sucess
Try with another flash drive then, see if that works.
btw. which model if Moto G you've got and is it on KK 176.44.1?
moto g has OTG support ? : O

All Moto G's have OTG support, not all have OTG USB storage support....
GPE Moto G - Don't know - possibly not as Nexus devices don't without 3rd party app (Nexus Media Importer)
Single Sim Moto G variants (maybe not all) - on original Jelly Bean Roms yes, the initial OTA to KitKat removed support without third party app, recent OTA to 176.44.1 (174.44.1 for US models) added it back again.
Dual Sim Moto G variants (maybe not all) - as far as I can tell from forum posts have always had OTG USB support.
Yeah I have just checked.it is ntfs. is there a way to determine the file system of a pendrive before buying?or can I change this to fat32??

long press on notification. app settings>> force close
no more annoying notification display
alternatively you can reboot to get rid if that notification
Sorry for open old thread.
I have motot G 4G (UK retail, 4.4.4) - when i connect USB pen drive trought OTG cable; no notification in notifications bar, but in config -> storage is visible & filemanager (Solid Explorer) can see it like USB disc 1 and i can work with it - but all apps installed on SD card are not aviatible and their icons are changed to green robot (screenshot) and i must restart phone.
How i can "fix" this problem?
Thanks, T.
My Moto G has 8 GB only, but I have an otg cable and a 32GB pendrive (working with phone), my device is rooted but still I havent found any method to install to big games like Modern Combat 4 on to usb storage, there has to be a solution!

Hi all
after I Buy G flex2 H955 16G I notice My storage have 7G free space only .
after provide root for My Phones I was happy because can use foldermount or GltoSd or Obbtosd module for move games data to SD .
till this moment I test latest versions from Folder Mount (2.8.1) and GLtoSD (2.4.1) but none of them not working .
Please If someone have ide for move games data to SD give me guide ...
Hello,
I just received a 64GB Sd card (Samsung, Class 10). I was wondering if there was a way of adding that to the internal memory like Android M does (or at least something like that). My device is a moto g 4g xt1039 (1st gen 4g). I was wondering, because none of my gamedata is moving to the sd card. For instance, when i download Real Racing 3 all data will get into internal memory and stay there (same with all other games). I am running stock rom (5.1), non rooted (am willing to root for this).
Thanks in advance,
Joël van Daalen
