Hi all, I'm on MRA58K stock build.
Some issues or I'm just plain dumb.
1. OTG is not working.
When I plugged in OTG with logitech gamepad receiver, it shows as the battery is charging. Same for XBox 360 receiver.
They work perfectly fine on Nexus 6.
Do I need to root? Can't see myself buying Shield Controller
2. External SD card
As Portable storage, I am not able to move files from internal to external, not able to copy from network to ext sd and when plug into PC, i see neither storage.
If I set it as IntSD, i am not able to move large files into it. It is as it doesn't exist.
All above using Estrong file explorer.
Any help and advise is greatly appreciated
Any helpful? Especially with OTG
For the external storage I've had the problem.
The solution I found:
-enter in developper mode,
-set the usb configuration to PTP and back to MTP.
For all the transfers I'm using root explorer, and my device is rooted.
For OTG:
I've no problem with my logitech mouse M185.

I really would like to be able to plug my droid X into my G tablet and use it as an external hard drive. This would save me loads of time swapping sdcards.
Though I don't think this is possible because most phones need drivers to be mounted as external storage.
When I do plug the DX in via microusb to usb (haven't tried miniusb yet) the DX recognizes that it is plugged in and starts charging. The DX also says that it is connected to an external device and is mounted as external storage, however on the G tablet I can not see any data when I browse to the correct location.
Has anyone else tried this and got it to work?

When I plug my N1 to the tablet, I immediately get the USB notification on my N1. I turn on storage on the N1 and my tablet can browse the sdcard on my N1.
If you use ClockworkMod or AmonRA on your Droid, you can go into recovery mode and set the mount to USB and that should work as well.
EDIT: If you are rooted on both devices, you can use dropbear or an ssh client (like QuickSSHD) on your Droid and then ssh to it from the tablet using File Explorer or AndFTP (need to be on the same wifi for this solution to work).
I've tried this with my Droid 1 and get the same thing. The droid shows its connected, and allows me to mount usb, but when using any file explorer and browse the the usb device, it only shows an empty folder.
I've succesfully used wifi file explorer when they're on the same wifi network.
Depending on speed wifi file explorer might work perfectly!

Hello,
New to Android and new to this forum. I have my TF700T two weeks now and I'm glad I bought it. My target is to copy the content of my Compact Flash cards (16GB each - from my DSLR) to a portable hard drive. Therefore I tried to connect both a card reader and a portable hard drive via an auto-powered USB-hub to the only usb-connection of my tablet. I even tried with another hub and even with a third hub. The only result was that my tablet only found the first device that was connected (regardless wich one: the CF-card or the HD) with the hub and not both at the same time, so copying from the CF-card to the drive isn't possible in one step. Sure I can copy the CF-card to the internal memory of the tablet and in a second pass move it to the HD, but that is very time-consuming.
Anyone who knows how to connect more then one usb-device at the same time via a powered USB-hub and do a file transfer between them? Your help is greatly appriciated.
You can use wi fi transfer to do it with a file manager, like file expert.

@tbtaf: When on vacation or on a photo trip I only have that portable hd, my tablet and a powered usb hub. I think a Wifi appraoch is not applicable then. Or am I missing something?
Sounds like you need to setup a second mount point for the additional device - don't know if that can actually be done or not, but I do know that some people who could not even connect the first device were able to manually specify the device by mounting it in a terminal window.
I'm not sure 100% on the code, but let me try to find out.
Or you could copy the 16 Gb CF card onto the pad's internal memory (or external MicroSD card), disconnect it, connect the HD and then copy it out again.

He already mentioned, he doesn't want to do this, he wants to copy straight.
For now, it's not possible since the powered hub or non power hub unable to recognize 2 devices at the same time.
CF, now there's nostalgia if anything. I thought those became outdated over 3 years ago... Fact is the CF is hardly compatible with mobile devices these days.
No, you can't copy from an external cardreader directly onto an external HDD through your tablet. It can only read 1 storage device in the USB port. Multiple devices works, but multiple storages doesn't. Some people have had some success with USB Flashdrives/Pendrives instead of HDD's though. You could try that.
You can copy from an SD to HDD easily though, so you could consider using an SD with a CF adapter if your camera has no SD slot. (SD's have the added advantage that the pins can't bent.)
I have a Razr Maxx HD, updated to Jelly Bean, and a USB OTG cable. I have been trying to access folders and files on both a camera SD card and a USB flash drive, but have had no luck.
In SETTING>STORAGE I see the USB (or SD card) gets mounted for the system as USB DISK /STORAGE/USBDISK_1.1.1
However, I can not find a route through the FILES app to access the drive or SD card.... What am I missing?? I have download a couple apps for files access (File Expert, currently), but still do not see anything added through the USB OTG cable....
Now I know I'm a NOOB

Even thought I have been working with computer systems and programming since the early 1980's, [even worked with Andy Rubin on the first email program for our college computer system (and we have been friends ever since)], I still have some issues getting used to new devices:laugh:
I found my own answers within the File Expert app, after a bit more playing around. Even though the tab for folders only listed the default SD Card, External SD Card and Phone Internal Storage, selecting the "External SDCard" and then clicking on the address box at the top allows backing up to the "/Storage" folder and then out to the "USBDISK_1.1.1" folder and accessing the files...
Hope this will help anyone else with issues, as I found nothing on this site addressing this question :victory:
Now I just need to find a small SD Card reader that will handle my class 10 SD cards from my Nikon DSLR so I cam post to the web during our trip to Hawaii in May, as I am leaving the laptop home, just the Razr Maxx HD and possibly a new tablet (Xoom?)
I've tried a few different otg cables and none seem to recognise the sd card reader. Is there a setting I need to enable to get it working?
Thanks in advance.

I don't have an sd card reader handy, but my fat32 usb key works fine for both reading and writing, although I had to use File Commander as EStrong File Explorer incorrectly states that it supports FAT32 and NTFS; it doesn't.
Sony Xperia Z3 USB OTG
I can confirm that with the Nexus Media Importer app, the Sony Xperia Z3 can read & write to NTFS file systems. I have a USB OTG "Y" cable (a female micro USB port for extra power). Without the paid app though, the Z3 can only read exFAT and FAT32 file systems, stating the NTFS as an "unsupported file system". As an added bonus, the smartphone is able to charge itself if you charge it by the magnetic port! I have a Deff magnectic adapter. Another device that can power an external USB OTG device while charging itself is my Google Nexus 5 with a special USB OTG "Y" adapter.
Hi, i have a problem that i think is because of partition of our P20 phones. I have a stereo car player with USB connection to play music from a usb device and works fine, but when i try from internal storage of my P20, it not recognize my files.
I think this is because type of partition of P20.
Any of you know a solution to use our phones as external storage?
Of course i choose option "file transfer" on usb options instead only charge.
Thanks!
