Hi,
My xoom cannot mount any flashdrive or external HDD, however the drive was visible in USB host controller ? device was detected but not really connected ..
btw I can use any USB hub, mouse and keyboard together, is this kernel or driver issue ?
I have gone through the storage settings and found an option for External USB Storage. then I bought a OTG Cable and bingo, it works.:victory:
Just connect the OTG cable to your phone then insert the USB drive and it will be connected automatically. :fingers-crossed:

any info for a111?
Hello,
I just bought a SD-Card USB reader, an active USB hub and an OTG cable. I want to copy my holiday photos from SD Card to an external USB HDD via Nexus 5 with current CM11. The HDD has 160GB. When I plug in the SD-Card USB reader directly or through the USB hub I can read, write copy files from or to it. My 160GB HDD doesn't work. I tried to format it with FAT32, exFAT or NTFS in different sizes. I used ES File Explorer. There I can see both USB devices but when I try to access the USB HDD ES File Explorer loads and loads an loads but nothing happens more...
How do I ahve to format the USB HDD to get this working? Are there any limits on size, format or even hardware?
I think cm11 on nexus 5 cannot handle two otg storage device at once. Try stickmount app from playstore.

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?

1Tb Samsung Drive - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Sli...qid=1419981942&sr=8-1&keywords=1tb+samsung+m3
The drive is self powered
I can connect the drive using the OTG cable, but using ES explorer, when I try to connect to the folder, it says "failed to open files"
Logcats

Stickmount version is 3.26
Hopefully that should be enough

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.

Good.
@euqiddis please edit thread title to include "[SOLVED]" i.e. "[SOLVED] - Slightly urgent - Multiple OTG devices on Lollipop".
Thanks in advance.
Could anyone help me?
I can not transfer files from my computer to the Micro SD of LG G Flex 2 through a USB cable. The transfer begins but halfway to appears the message: "device has been disconnected." I have android 5.1.1.
Try a different USB cable or a different USB port on your computer.

Didn't work...
Me too
I have not been able to do this either. MTP IS enabled and everything, but my device won't mount on my computer.
