Good morning all,
I have a 1TB USB 3.0 WD my Passport portable drive that I have always used on my LG G3 connected with a OTG cable. Works flawless. When I plug it into my S6 in never settles in and connects. Just keep connecting and disconnecting. It's almost as though the drive is not getting the power necessary to start up. I can see the indicator light up and here it spin but then it shuts off. Over and over. Any one else with similar issues?

Ok...so I have ordered 3 different adapters for my samsung galaxy note 10.1, ive tried it when it was rooted and on stock, nothing works, basically i get the usb adapter, plug it in, and the ps3 controller works for like 2 hours...then doesn't work on any of the adapters, it stops reading the ps3 controller and says its a high power device and that's it, , it think it stopped after the controller conected to the ps3 again? can someone please tell me what to do? ! im just fed up!
I use a USB OTG cable and find it only works with devices that don't require power from the USB to work. Maybe a ps3 controller needs an external power supply.

maybe, but it's so frustrating because i saw youtube tutorials and tutorials on here about what to do even with xbox controllers, im just having no luck with it at all, doesn't even allow me to do it wirelessly, but usb memory sticks work fine just the controllers...
I'm not sure if this would work but since you have got 3 cables experimenting with one wouldn't be a great loss...
Usb cables have 4 connections. 2 are data 1 is +5v and one ground -
If you cut about half way into one of your USB OTG cables and found the +5v and ground - cables and cut them so your tablet can't see a load then with another USB cable (male plug side only) connected the +5v and Ground - only to the female side of your USB OTG only so it could power the ps3 controller.
Then you would plug the extra USB plug into another USB socket like a PC or laptop or similar to power the ps3 controller.
Just an idea.
Edit: Or just find the red cable in one of your USB OTG cables and cut it. You will have to charge the usb controller another way though.
Your PS3 controller is attempting to charge its battery from the USB port/OTG connector. The port can only supply amperage for so long before protection circuitry kicks in and keeps itself from melting down. Atleast that's the way I would do it if I were an electrical engineer
Yes even data cards do not work
I find I can use memory sticks OK but anything that draws a lot of current gets the (in)famous "high power USB device" notification...
It's a pain in the bum as I would like my $600 Note to use the 1Tb NTFS drive my $400 A501 uses with no problem whatsoever...
Today there are whole host of usb powered devices some are good and some are cheap may be the concept Samsung had was to make sure some device does not pull power more then the tablet can provide and in turn does not overcook some of the components so that have built in a failsafe may be because the single port does multiple functions this has been provisioned
Yeah but when I used a powered HDD it fried not only my Note10.1 but also the portable HDD too... Not happy...
I think it killed the battery to be honest as it got REALLY hot and the battery dropped from almost fully charged to depleted in about 15 minutes... Also killed the digitiser but the pen still worked. Turned off and left overnight and tab was completely dead next morning....
Very expensive paper weight...:crying:
So I had to go out and get another one, this time 32gb 3g instead of 16gb (eating rice and tuna for the next month or 2)...
Won't be connecting another drive any time soon...
thanks
I can't find anyone else with this problem.
I bought a 128GB USB 3.0 stick for my phone so I had access to loads of my music at all times.
If it's being used (ie, playing music continuously) then it seems to work fine, but after around 5 mins, as soon as it gets a chance (like the end of a track) it'll ungraciously unmount/disconnect/die.
The light stops flashing, no notification. Dead.
The usb stick works perfectly on the PC. It's FAT32 so it should work fine with the phone.
My phone is rooted, and I've been using Stickmount which seems to help a little in keeping the USB stick alive a little longer, but it still disconnects soon after connecting.
I tried some older usb sticks a few weeks ago and they appeared to also be disconnecting frequently, but I've just tested them again and with StickMount they've been working flawlessly.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I'm going to try formatting the stick to ExFat/NTFS and see how that goes.
90% usb cable fault.
Hi
I have been having this issue for sometime now. I connect my Nexus to my laptop using the USB cable, and most of the time the screen starts acting up. Touch calibration is all wrong. When i click something, the actual button that is clicked is totally a different one. And sometimes it activates stuff on its own.
I have tried several stuff I found on google. Some said it had something to do with my home electricity not being grounded. I checked. It is grounded. Tried everything from flashing new roms to freshly starting from stock! Nothing seems to work!
Its like this thing have a mind of its own
Hi, if you use stock wall adapter, it's working correctly? Usually that is some kind bad electricity problem or that device where you plugged it causes problems.
Check usb cable. If it's not happening on LG cable and LG wall charger than it's your usb to pc cable problem
PS check other usb port and cable

How do I fix my otg issue? It connects but says charging connected device. Even with a ps4 controller at 100%. When I go to tick the option to switch it acts like it does then it goes back to saying charging device. I'm on stock rooted and tried this on all the current roms.
Hello,
I have had a good time using a usb c stick with exFAT to transfer files to and forth from my s8+. In the holidays I had water over the device and after the usb liquid issue. After some days it went away but now no stick , be it my usb c one or others with the OTG connector , is connecting.
Problem is that through cable phone connects to the PC ( although slower than usual ). Also charging first detects a fast charge through original charger and in 2 seconds drops to normal charging. For a while I have reset the device with the stick connected and it got read but after unplugging direct or unmount would
not reappear at a second plug.
Any ideas , this is driving me crazy ( even did a full reset to no avail ).
Newbie here, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I recently purchased a Samsung T7 SSD specifically to use as extra storage for my Note 20 Ultra. Upon unboxing, I noticed that when connecting drive to phone with supplied USB-C to USB-C cable, the drive will not power on (no lights on drive). My phone will not recognize anything is connected at all. I then connected the drive to to my computer and it instantly powers on, I quickly unplugged it and connected it to my phone and the drive lit up and connected as it should. After unplugging and waiting 10 seconds or so, and reconnecting, nothing happens, no lights, nothing. I can even connect it to the usb-c input on the media center of my vehicle to power it on and then quickly plug it up to my phone and it will work fine.
I did do a restart of my phone with the drive plugged in and upon phone reboot the device was powered up, but it still will not get any power from port upon cold connection.
Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.
Did you try to check the cable, because something similar happened to me with a pny external ssd disk and the cable was the problem

Yes, I tried several other cables with no luck. They all do the same. The cable that came with the drive works fine in with every other device I plug it into. Is there a setting that toggles power output from the phones USB-c port? It seems like the phone is not supplying enough power to the drive to start it up.
