Htc one e8 single sim usb otg? - HTC One E8

Hi guys, I just bought mu htc e8 today. And I'm just wondering whether it support USB OTG/USB HOST or not. From some websites (gsmarena etc) they said there is no usb otg for e8.
But I recently stumbled upon a video in youtube showing that e8 actually capable of supporting USB OTG. The guy tried it and found out that e8 recognized the usb flash drive, but when he tried to access it uaing es explorer, the app just forced close and the status says usb removed unexpectedly.
Have anyone tried it yet? And what's the finding?

For the dual sim version, I can say that it does support otg. Personally tried it, worked flawlessly!

Nice. What file explorer app did you use?

ES file Explorer. Plan to switch to native htc one as soon as it's out with the next update.

Oh. Cool. I have to try it myself. And also, it's the first time I heard HTC will provide native file explorer. Do you know when will the next update be?

Sony Xperia L doesn´t support USB OTG in an official way
Screw around with some stuff and try to figure out how to develop USB Otg support. Or maybe ( if you're too lazy. ) request USB OTG in a popular ROM. Are you even unlocked or rooted? You just bought your Xperia but who knows?

Yeah, I don't get how there is no support, will wait for 4.2.2 to see if support is added
Let see, hope they will add this.
looks like its not supported

Well , first you need to root your device then you install StickMount app by Chainfire in google play then when you insert pendrive then click on mount option over there then download File Manager by Rhythm Software in google play then at path :sdcard/" you will get a folder over there , enjoy now you can use otg on a non- supportable device

In my way. It'll never works if ROM doesn't supported it.
For example my nexus 7, using stock ROM rooted and installed Nexus Media Import(USB OTG Mount) didn't work. But while changed to Custom ROM that in Settings - Storage that available if u have USB-OTG for mounting it works. so Basically it will supported by ROM that have feature for USB-OTG Mounter.

didnt get stickmount app in playstore.
it was done for nexus 4, so i think can be done for XL too. however, you may need otg y cable to get 5v if device doesn't supply (like N4 users do)
usb otg
Hello, everybody.
I have discovered that with "USB OTG Helper" from Play Store
you can have OTG on Xperia L.
But Xperia L doesn`t give power to the stuff I´ve plugged in.
So I used a hub with external power supply and a wall outlet
adaptor to connect my pendrive and it works.
Hope I´ve helped you all.

Hmm, that's curious, mine is still at .46, .80 is supposed to be the big update so I wonder what .60 is? Any noticeable changes on your watch? Could you head to the Play Store on your phone and check the version number of the SmartWatch 2 app from Sony, not Smart Connect. Mine is showing as 13 Dec, the 1.3.19 version.
As far as I am aware, there are no USB drivers for the smartwatch, so trying to plug it in to your PC shouldn't get you very far at all, unless there's some new tool from Sony I don't know about.

The one you quoted was the old firmware. Look carefully in your firmware version. There is a 3 instead of a 0 somewhere which makes yours the latest at the moment.

[Q] Cannot receive ePub files over bluetooth

Hi, I'm running stock android currently. A friend tried to transfer an epub file to me over bluetooth after the devices were paired - but my nexus 5 could not receive it at all. I asked some other friends with different android devices to do that, but the same issue persisted. On the other hand, I am able to transfer epub files to other devices just fine. Just to make sure this issue was not limited to my phone, I tried to transfer an epub file to another nexus 5 and it said 'cannot transfer this type of file'. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks.
Is this for copyright reasons to prevent people sharing epubs?

Try changing the file extention to ".bat", transfer it, and change it back to ".epub" or whatever it is.

Thanks - I will try that as a workaround, but is there anything that I can do to avoid the workaround at all? I'll also have to check if my file explorer allows me to change file extensions.

If the problem turns out, in fact, to be DRM, then this will be the only way. Have you tried to transfer other types of files?

note pro 12.2 can't read mass storage device

I tried 2 different portable USB fat32 / NTFS (500GB) neither of them worked. I tested the fat32 with note 3 N900 and note 10.1 2014 both worked with no problems.
Help needed is it hardware or software issue ?
Test and feedback
Note Pro 12.2 owners pls test and advice.
If you are rooted, try installing Stickmount from the Play Store.

Rooting Will Void warranty so I need some body to test before I send it back for repair.

Are you rooted?
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 will not mount NTFS until SELinux is changed from Enforced to Permissive,this can only be done through Custom Kernel compiling.
I have managed to compile a custom Kernel and now I can change the tablet's SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive and vice versa and can also mount NTFS hard drives using Stickmount.
Those hard drives are available to any app that need to access them,like MX player or ES file explorer.
Please check the attached images

Finally both Mass storage devices worked with the help of external power supply ( used the wall charger ) but what a hell of wiring. I can't believe that note pro 12.2 can't generate enough power to do the job? maybe some developer can write custom kernel with the correct permission I HOPE.

[PORT ROM] [RR N 5.8.4] Android 7.1.2 for HTC One E8

Hello guys, I made this fully working port of Resurrection Remix ROM for m8 to Our dear E8 but it's got hotspot and sdcard bugs
The external SDCard mounts properly but
1. I keep getting notification of sdcard ejected and mounted like it keeps popping up endlessly
2. I tried to make it stable but when I copy a file to the sdcard, any file at all, then I restart the phone it's either the file is missing or its corrupted, but any file in it before flashing the ROM stays intact...
Only solution I found is to copy the file to Ur sdcard in recovery mode
Hotspot works but
1. When data is on and u wanna share via hotspot, it shows error and the other device won't connect to it
2. When data is off and u wanna share via hotspot it works perfectly... eg. using XENDER to share APK, music, movies. etc
That's the only problem in the ported ROM, I don't know if any one is interested in this and let's fix this...
Thanks
Great ......!!!!
Some good things are finally coming to e8

The SD not working is a deal breaker considering that this machine only has 16GB.
Is there anything I can do to help?
I compiled this rom myself from m8 source with changed libs and used heibai's kernel and everything is working fine for me, even sd card.
