USB OTG - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I can't transfer files from my device to USB storage using the USB OTG adapter using ES File Explorer. I can transfer files from USB storage to the device using ES File Explorer. I can't find the USB storage in the phone's built in file manager. If USB OTG is native on this device, should there be a problem here?

...

Well if ur using a samsung, u don't need to download a file Manager app cuz once u plug in the USB it automatically goes to the stock file Manager and u can do everything there that u can on a file manager app

Moved file from PC to Android not showing up

I can't seem to move a folder from my PC (Win7 64bit) to my rooted Android external microSD. Every time I move a file it shows the move but then when I go into the phone its not there.
It doesn't let me move the file onto the microSD card!?!?!?!
What file is it? What are u using to transfer the file, what from? Where are you putting the file?
Most importantly, did u browse to:
/sdcard/external_SD
And make sure it wasn't there instead?

Its a folder filled with my mp3 songs
I am using windows explorer
Using my PC (win7 64bit) via USB port
I am putting them into my microSD directly (in windows explorer it shows my phone and external microSD as 2 separate locations, each with its own letter association).
Yes I checked /sdcard/external_SD... not there not anywhere actually...
Did u use a file manager like astro or root explorer to check?

Yes but I also used windows explorer after disconnecting and then reconnecting via USB and it wasn't there anymore.
It maybe bcoz of errors and bad sectors of ur card, a full format should fix that
You're Either Nexus Or Against Us
Could be a problem with your computer, or the sdcard in your phone. Try a different computer first

Files are not copying from pc via usb

The device gets detected easily in mtp mode on original usb cable. I can open files and copy to pc (windows 7x64) but I cannot for sake of nothing, copy any files to my note 2. Only found ftp filezilla method working, but I want to do normal cable mass storage file transferring like I did on my desire z.
I just have to get sd card?
btw. Is using filezilla dangerous? I can see all the files which are on my phone (only entering sd memory tho - internal 16gb)
No help?

[SOLVED]Slightly urgent - Multiple OTG devices on Lollipop

Hi all,
I have a sd card that i want to copy its contents to an external hard drive. I have the following
OTG cable
USB Mains powered hub - This one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Te...8&qid=1419902366&sr=1-6&keywords=usb+main+hub
1 tb external hard drive(NTFS)
Micro SD card (Fat32)
Micro sd card adaptor
I have connected the external hard drive and the micro sd card adaptor to the usb hub, then connected the usb hub to the OTG cable which is then connected to my phone, however Stickmount is not recognising the external hard drive, nor is Nexus Media Importer. Does anyone know if this is a limitation wihtin Lollipop (5.01) as it use to work in KitKat.
Should i just go back to KK?
I am rooted and on 5.01
if someone has any ideas please post, as i need to get this sorted wihtin the next few days
Thanks

To add to this, your portable hard drive is likely formatted in NTFS. Look at the OP in the thread beekay201 posted for instructions on how to handle this.
Thanks for the link..... I placed the files needed into the sdcard root, but it still does not recognise the 2 drives together
You need to provide more detail, like, help us to help you.
This external HDD you got, have you tried to hook it up, without using the USB hub? The external HDD itself, it's self powered, or draws power from the phone (or the hub)?
Paste a logcat to hastebin.com when you connect the HDD or the sdcard to the phone through OTG cable for us to see.
What StickMount version (I mean, literally the version number, not if pro or free) are you using?

right.. if you had searched about this, you'd have found lots of people having issues with L+Es file explorer. use another file explorer, and be done with it.
also, there's nothing wrong with stickmount or the logs. if it works with another FM, i'd just stick with that.
if you want to keep trying ES, be advised that you might need to try the "PIE PATCH" - fixes issues with root access/ES. I'm feelin generous (and bored) so here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Right,i've got it working using the mains power plug on the USB hub. also ES File explorer is also working if i go via the folder structure rather than the left hand side menu.

Someone help me with my problem with custom ROMs

Hey guys
I've installed RR ROM on my LG G2(D802) and I have also tried cyanogenmods , I had the same problem with both.
My problem is with otg USB connection which I hope someone will help me to fix it.when I connect otg memory to my phone,I can't manage it with any file manager,there is only one way to access memory's data and that's the low performanced file manager of ROM,I can't copy anything from internal storage to USB otg or delete anything from otg memory.
I mean when I connect the USB storage I can't access its data with es file explorer or other good file managers.
Please help me solve this problem if u know how to.
Have you tried any otg apps on play store, otg disk explorer lite ?
