Although Xperia E3 has USB HOST/ OTG capabilities it doesn't work with my FIIO E07k. Is not working with UAPP either, just some ''tic-tic-tic'' sound in the hp. Is there a posibility that a custom rom make this combo work in the future?
So I contacted Sony care Romania and they stated that my D2203 model has OTG/USB Host, however those features doesn't work as it should. My mobile AMP/Dac FIIO E07K doesn't work> reapeating ''tic-tic'' sound through headphones. my USB memory stick is sometimes detected. After activating USB storage it tell me that the stick is detected but it is deteriorated and needs formatting. After pressing format it tells me that sd card was taken off( I don't have an sd card installed). I reformated the usb memory as fat 32 and it works. My USB mouse doesn't work either. The Led that luminates the brand logo is flickering.
Configuration: USB device (AMP/Dac or memory stick or usb mouse)>OTG cable (i have two and with one of them nothing is working)> E3
All those devices are working with my pc and my other 2 phones: Samsung Note 4 and Alcatel One touch C7. I will test them with LG l70 today or tomorrow.
One more thing, When I start the E3 I receive ''error initializing USB'' message but the phone is connecting well at PC and works with the charger.

connecting external hard drive (transcend 25M3) to android phone ( micromax a116) ( )
Good news for everyone who want use external hard drive with android phone. I connected my Micromax A116 with transcend store jet 25M3 1TB external hard drive without rooting of phone. You have to possession of OTG cable only. Transcend hard drive one benefit that its having connecting cable with two USB male point . One for specifically power supply and other for data transfer. I used my Micromax phone charger having out put - DC 5V 1A with USB connected. first I have given power supply by connecting USB end of hard drive to the Micromax phone charger then I connected data transfer USB of hard drive to OTG cable then its micro USB end to my Micromax a 116. And its successfully access all the file and folder in hard drive. Plz Keep in mind that hard drive formatted in FAT32. Your phone should be supporting USB storage devices. And biggest thing is you don't require any rooting or additional apps for connecting. I think it will be very helpful for Micromax A 116 users . I can easily play HD video from my hard drive.

i have a noir A10 and i have connected an 80 gb hard drive via otg cable and an app installed on my phone i.e Stickmount.
So what am I doing wrong???
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I wish to connect it to a USB hard drive. The one I'm using at the moment is an old 40gb drive but, if I can get bit to work, I intend to get a bigger one.
Sooo...
I've got a USB OTG lead.
I've connected the drive using a 'Y' lead to ensure that there is enough power for the hard drive.
I'm using ES3 File explorer.
I've connected USB sticks and cards also used USB hubs and Card readers with perfect results.
ES3 recognises the drive and asks for permission to access it but when I give permission it says "Sorry the operation failed". Trying again gives a different message "Failed to open the file".
I've tried reformatting the drive as NTFS, exFAT and even FAT32 but it makes no difference.
The drive works perfectly when connected to a number of other devices.
Any ideas?

when i connect my usb stroage i works fine but when romoving the phone is lagging and sometimes it is restarting.......can any please solve my problem?
I have the same problem, sometimes it goes fine but many others the cell get freeze and restart itself.
I don't use OTG a lot, most of times I use Wifi File Transfer to transfer files from PC. Anyways it's a bit annoying.
I'm using KitKat .040
does the m2 support usb otg? and if so, do i need a special cable/powered hub?
Yup, Xperia M2 supports OTG. You will only need a micro USB OTG cable.
The problem we have is when we disconnect the cable from the phone and we get some lag, some app's can't start or the cell reboots.
I have tried my cable right now, I've watched a couple of minutes of a movie and after unplug it I got force Yup, Xperia M2 supports OTG. You will only need a micro USB OTG cable.
can any one solve my problem.........
Noobie question here. Is there any way to transfer files to and from directly to flash if the phone you have DOES NOT have USB OTG support? No PC in the mix, just a flash, cable adaptor and phone itself. If so, is it possible to do it without rooting? I've tried the PNY Duo-Link as well, without success (r/w from the laptop, phone does nothing). See I prefer to have the flash as my main datastore, independent of internet transfer and local to the PC, laptop, phone, etc.
Recently purchased a Verizon LG Transpyre, Model Number: VS810PP. The closest solution I've found is WiFi File transfer. However, I want to take the PC out of the equation (don't run M$) for the driver:

Any help would be appreciated, maybe I should have gone the Moto E?
Wifi File Transfer does require not only Mobile Hotspot, but Mobile data too ;( You get an ugly Verizon subscription message with Mobile data even though you want to tranfer from YOUR PC to YOUR flash. Still a lot of hassle to go through though all you want is a non USB OTG phone to flash.
I can use bidirectional transfers via a miniUSB to USB cable on the Transpyre, but the flash isnt there. Had a talk with Sandisk technical support about non USB OTG solutions they may have for file transfers. Basically with OTG (MTP) only Microsoft supported scenarios work to a PC, there are no flash options and to to try Amazon. Bottom-line is, according to them, is if you have a non USB OTG phone, your only option is a SD option.
I just like everything I have on one media i.e. not multiple, SD, CD, flash etc. On top of that I want a bootable media. What would fit the bill would be a male SDmini cable into the phones slot to a female USB adapter for the flash drive, I dont think thats possible. So, some sort of SD adapter for the non USB OTG device is all I can come up with. What do others use for their main bootable datastore media for the phone, PC, Stereo, etc. i.e. the flash drive, SD, SD to USB adapter, DVD, etc.? Or should I just throw the phone and get a USB OTG one
Now the question is bootable SDCard vs USB for all around bootable media for storage to any device. This is what I did, almost there...
Bought a neat little kit from Walmart, Mobile Junkie's 3-in-1 mobile Kit. Basically, I took it's miniSD stuck it in my phone. I can use a miniUSB toUSB cable to the PC and pull the miniSD when I want and slide it into the kit's USB for the PC or booting. Getting close to all the functionality I want other than it's a pain to open up the phone and the bootable USB image I have did not work on the miniSD. The kit also has a regular SD, i.e. miniSD > USB > SD. Not sure if this type of USB/miniSD connection is bootable. But I think all I need to do is create a bootable to the miniSD from the PC.
Any experiences out there between bootable USB's vs SD's?
Conclusion - I'll never buy a phone again without USB OTG support.
Hi all,
Since i updated my Note 10.1 tablet ( ed.2014 ) to android L, my external dac stopped working.
The usb dac is the Dragonfly 1.2 (Audioquest) and worked fine before, plug & play.
I tested the dac, the usb-otg cable and also the usb connection of the tablet => they are OK.
Hardware hasn't changed, so to me, it looks like a software problem.
Is the usb power output (more) limited ?
I used the "usb host diagnostics" app that tells me the dac is still recognised.
Is there a way to make the dac function again, or do i have to go back to the earlier version of android ?
thanks !
Jo
Hi,
It seems that you already found the best place on XDA to post your question.
Please continue your journey there
Good luck!
Hello my otg it's just not working at all... i'm rooted, with 5.0.2 lollipop in a xt1032 terminal (1st gen i guess).
Cable works good and mounts pendrive flawless in another J7 i have, so, the cable is not the problem.
*USB Host app shows everything good with green checkmarks.
*USB Troubleshooter app does detect otg on phone and the cable connected, but... marks in red next 2, "not detected device in linux / android"
*Stickmount app does anything, it does not detect stick.
Sometimes when connecting cable it turnoff my phone.
What should i do? i really want to conect my pendrive or gamepads... Thanks in advance!
