Tiamat Moray 2.2 USB Host problems...[HELP!]

So i recieved mini usb to usb cable for xoom and i tryied to connect an OCZ 8gb flash drive but no result my xoom doesn't recognize it the light on the OCZ didn't light up.
I thought that moray has usb support right? What am i doing wrong? :/
I even installed USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG but the problem is still there...
P.S The cable that im using is this one here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0342463&category=123422&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

There seem to be many problems with so-called OTG-cables on ebay... No one knows if they really are OTG-cables or just plain MicroUSB-to-USB-Adaptors...
I bought the original Moto Camera-Cable here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004VMI5CI/ref=oss_product
It works like it should, I can connect my USB-Stick, external HD, MP3-Player... You name it.

Did you try one of the free apps on the markeet that can help you mount your drive? Look for USB Watcher OTG and Drive Mount.

The problem just in the cable, I also recently received a similar, and he also did not work. I remake it and now it works fine.

How you remade it? Is there any way to make the usb support work without remaking the cable? Because im not good with the wires..(Any sort of mod or something...??? )

Look at the picture, you need to connect 4 and 5 contacts in the micro-usb connector,
you tablet have usb-host support, tiamat mounts usb-otg automaticaly, no need any program, or modification of tablet.
Your problem in usb-host cable from ebay, you can remake it, or buy a new original cable.

Of course it does!

Yes, tested it the same day I bought it

awesome! im thinking of replacing my tab S with this one. more pocketable and with updated specs. except for the screen resolution, but who cares

Yes it is, but there is a problem witch that the device restart each time disconnect the external flash to set default location to internal storage.

I tried the external WiFi adapter from tp-link with Mate 8 but nothing happened. Wondering if any one has tried a wifi adapter with Mate 8 using an OTG cable/connector?

Yep, it does, but it took me 2 different OTG connector/adapters to find one that worked.

So was that some special OTG connector or what? Could you please explain a little bit?

Samsung T3

The Samsung T3 external SSD is USB type C and is extremely fast. Using the stock cord that came with my phone I can make a twrp backup faster than to the internal storage.
Anyone else use one?

That's because your phone has to read and write from flash at the same time. My OTG cable and USB 3.0 drive i've had for 2 years os still faster than backing up internally also. But I agree, the T3 would probably super tots.

The T3 is also very fast with the computer. Transfers 5gb in seconds

I've tried hooking up my otg micro USB cable with flash drive. But 6p isn't reading. I figured it can't transmit data micro USB style. Is that why its not reading it? Have you tried that @Gytole?

I used micro usb otg cable, then micro USB to type c adapter, into 6p. Im saying I used a type c adapter and I think that's why it wasn't connecting to the flash drive but either way whatever happened it was not connecting and I tried numerous times I even tried apps like stickmount

Whether the nexus 6p works with exfat or NTFS formatted drive
Please confirm

3rd party app will mount exFAT-formatted T3

I just took another pass at getting my 6P to work with my exFAT-formatted T3, and this time around (Android 7.1.2) saw multiple paths to success.
Firstly, this time, when I plugged in my device, the system presented a notification, which led to a dialog asking if I wanted to "format the device for mobile data storage" – which would have meant reformatting to FAT32. Not what I wanted, but pretty cool that it was an option and I didn't have to go digging.
Secondly, a quick googling turned up a third-party app that will mount exFAT volumes. It's called Paragon exFAT/NTSF (I don't have permission to post urls here yet). I had to pay $5 for exFAT support, and it wanted Total Commander (free) to browse and operate on the files.

Mi 4C OTG Cable

I've been looking around for an OTG cable that will work with my Mi 4c and haven't got any guarantees from any I've viewed that it will work with Mi 4c. I know for sure the 4c supports OTG. Does anyone know of a cable that works?

You need to have Type-C OTG converter, there are alot on Ali Express sold with reference to Nexus 5x & mi4c

I know, I was asking if anyone knew of one that was guaranteed to work with the 4C. A link perhaps?

Fascinating, that didn't seem to work with me. Though the adapter works for charging.

does it work with data sync on pc?( i havnt tried mine) but im pretty sure it wont work. and if it does it means the OTG cabel is not good.
by the way i checked this only with a mouse, not usb , might be a diffrent issu.

The OTG cable has been tested to work (Nexus device and Xperia) and the adapter works for data sync. I have only tried with USB though, so that might be the issue

Hello !
Problem is more that a lot of USB sticks/devices are not recognized. The adpaters that I have worked well, but only every third USB stick.

I ordered this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Elo..._2&btsid=c8d2641a-70b4-46fd-bad6-ec0e0eede4ed
works perfectly. It arrived today after about 3 weeks. Working perfectly with my NTFS formatted HP 8GB and Kingston 16GB Flash Drives. My HP USB flash drive is v220w and Kingston's is Data Traveler 2.0
you need to reformat with Allocation unit not more than 16kb if your flash drive isnt recognized. I keep mine at 8kb while formatting.

Nice

Otg support?

Hello all.
Just bought an otg but doesn't seems to work.
Also used the second otg I bought in case the one came out dead.
Does anyone had any similar problems?
My phone has Oreo out of the box.

You just plugged the otg or you changed something on settings?

I did not change anything, just connected and go.

Problem solved
Otg is supported pnly with the original adapter.

sorry for necroposting, but i have an otg cable and the original adapter, but the phone isnt recognizing the usb device at all. i have tried channging the usb connection options to MTP, PTP etc etc

You should not have to do anything to get OTG going. In particular you should not have to change USB connection type from developer settings manually, that should happen automatically depending on what device you connect.
The only catch is that you need a decent OTG cable, which has all the correct pins in it. Using a microUSB OTG cable + an microUSB to USB-C adapter for example will NOT work (not unless the microUSB adapter has the OTG pins, which is really unlikely).
I'm using this Anker OTG cable and it works perfectly, first try. So far I've tried external storage devices (card reader, stick, even a 2.5" HDD enclosure), keyboard, mouse, and a MIDI keyboard.
If you need an app for accessing USB storage files I can recommend either USB Media Explorer, or the USB OTG plugin for Solid Explorer.

thanks man. ill give that a try. i was trying to look at some files on a flash drive while at work as the systems we use (and im currently using) dont allow external drives to be accessed on our desktop systems, i can thank citrix cor that. Ill give that a shot when i get home just to future proof myself. Also, i see your location as Transylvania. Ive visited there a couple times and it was freaking awesome!!!! Ive even learned how to make my own mici and smuggled some mustar clasic back home too! My fiance was raised in Piatra Neamt and she gave me the thumbs up on my mici

Good to know, making your own mici is a skill that will take you far in life.
