Hello.
I have registered here with one question - how do I connect my doogee mix (4/64) to a camera to download all of the photos?
I bought a generic micro b to usb adapter cable off ebay and installed some otg explorer apps but I can't get my phone to mount any usb storage devices. This is actually just to easily collect photos from a trail-cam without having to swap sdcards or lug my eepc901 halfway up a mountain... and geeky curiosity, so not that important in the scheme of things.
regards
Andrew

Noobie question here. Is there any way to transfer files to and from directly to flash if the phone you have DOES NOT have USB OTG support? No PC in the mix, just a flash, cable adaptor and phone itself. If so, is it possible to do it without rooting? I've tried the PNY Duo-Link as well, without success (r/w from the laptop, phone does nothing). See I prefer to have the flash as my main datastore, independent of internet transfer and local to the PC, laptop, phone, etc.
Recently purchased a Verizon LG Transpyre, Model Number: VS810PP. The closest solution I've found is WiFi File transfer. However, I want to take the PC out of the equation (don't run M$) for the driver:

Any help would be appreciated, maybe I should have gone the Moto E?
Wifi File Transfer does require not only Mobile Hotspot, but Mobile data too ;( You get an ugly Verizon subscription message with Mobile data even though you want to tranfer from YOUR PC to YOUR flash. Still a lot of hassle to go through though all you want is a non USB OTG phone to flash.
I can use bidirectional transfers via a miniUSB to USB cable on the Transpyre, but the flash isnt there. Had a talk with Sandisk technical support about non USB OTG solutions they may have for file transfers. Basically with OTG (MTP) only Microsoft supported scenarios work to a PC, there are no flash options and to to try Amazon. Bottom-line is, according to them, is if you have a non USB OTG phone, your only option is a SD option.
I just like everything I have on one media i.e. not multiple, SD, CD, flash etc. On top of that I want a bootable media. What would fit the bill would be a male SDmini cable into the phones slot to a female USB adapter for the flash drive, I dont think thats possible. So, some sort of SD adapter for the non USB OTG device is all I can come up with. What do others use for their main bootable datastore media for the phone, PC, Stereo, etc. i.e. the flash drive, SD, SD to USB adapter, DVD, etc.? Or should I just throw the phone and get a USB OTG one
Now the question is bootable SDCard vs USB for all around bootable media for storage to any device. This is what I did, almost there...
Bought a neat little kit from Walmart, Mobile Junkie's 3-in-1 mobile Kit. Basically, I took it's miniSD stuck it in my phone. I can use a miniUSB toUSB cable to the PC and pull the miniSD when I want and slide it into the kit's USB for the PC or booting. Getting close to all the functionality I want other than it's a pain to open up the phone and the bootable USB image I have did not work on the miniSD. The kit also has a regular SD, i.e. miniSD > USB > SD. Not sure if this type of USB/miniSD connection is bootable. But I think all I need to do is create a bootable to the miniSD from the PC.
Any experiences out there between bootable USB's vs SD's?
Conclusion - I'll never buy a phone again without USB OTG support.
I know they make the SanDisk dual end android otg flash drive that supposed work without proprietary software ,but I also know that particular one is junk.
I got a sandisk extreme pro and ordered the otg cable separate Will this work transferring files once plugged in or does this otg..a tuff only work wirh a certain dedicated type of flash drive and or app that's needed on top of the flash drive .
My theory once I get it was plug in the otg cable that's connected to the sandisk drive and attach the micro usb end to s6 I should see the drive inside a file manager app .But some YouTube videos show the usb otg dual drive not coming up within the phones settings or storage options .
Has anyone used a regular flash drive with otg cable to transfer and what's the method ?

Yeah,
I had a USB Type-C Male to USB 3.0 Type-A female adapter. Plugged in a USB 3.0 Toshiba Hard Drive and it worked. Notification popped up and I was able to use it in the built in file manager.
Works very well and is very fast as well.
That's good, official support of otg

Here are some steps you can take to transfer files from your phone to an external device or microSD.
Connect a USB OTG cable to your phone to access data on USB flash drives, card readers and other storage devices.
- Connect your phone to a USB flash drive with a USB OTG cable.
- Touch [click to enlarge] > Local > USB drive to browse data on the flash drive. You can select and copy data to a destination folder. For more information, see Copying, moving, or deleting files.
- When you have finished browsing, touch Settings > Advanced settings > Memory & storage > USB drive > Eject.
Disconnect the USB OTG cable from your phone and the USB flash drive. (NS)
Stock ROM (not rooted): Huawei built-in Files works very well for OTG USB flash drives. However, if you have X-Plore File Manager installed, do NOT accept the message as shown (see he attached), otherwise USB drive will disappear and neither the Huawei's Files nor X-Plore would be able to access the USB drive. If you ignore that message or "Cancel" it, X-Plore would be able to read USB drive but not write to it.

I wonder if there is any relation between emui5 "android" and the service activation

You don't really need a flash drive flashdrives are more computer based cause flashdrives was made to burn computer images onto when you can't officially update a operating system on a laptop what is perfect for phones is more of something like this cause it's more appropriate.
https://m.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-1-Type...102651?hash=item1c93e155fb:g:zQAAAOSwm9tZ1g9w
The reason I say that is this cause a flash drive doesn't have sd card support I remember the big issue when pixels came out was the lack of External SD card support it's always had External SD card support Also can work for USB Type C OTG supported Android mobile phones. It's just everyone failed to use otg I can't live without External SD cards cause it's just all that extra space if you do a internal to external swap where external is new storage by rom modifications which enables the swap only if the otg device is attached and detected. Plus it's great for holding ROMs at which you can just leave in your phone.

I added more images to the original and the flash drive is working just as it should...
Picked one of these up after you mentioned it. Cheap and works great.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Hello, I'm still not clear reading these various threads about OTG transferring files to & from Pixel XL, and any and all variations: I'm still not understanding— can you get fast file transfer speeds coming off the Pixel to a flash stick, or has Google (typically) thrown a wrench into the works with their FAT32/ exFAT issue, defeating the ability to get the normal transfer speeds you'd expect on other phones using OTG?
I know this is close to a year after the last post to this thread, but this is driving me nuts just trying to find the answer. Can anyone help? If I can't get the expected fast speeds transferring large video files, then I can't buy a Pixel XL, in which case I am back to the drawing board.
Life was so simple with my NOTE 4's... It just worked, a premium camera that was hard to beat — up and until the Pixel line hit. Thank you
Hi, i recently get a mi tv stick, it only come will 8GB internal storage and with no spare usb port to connect external drive, so i get myself a Y-splitter to hook up my thumb drive.
however, MI TV Stick cannot detect it, i try to use FS explorer to check, but it shown ' this device does not appear to support the android storage access framework:
anyone know how to fix it?
Hi There i am facing the same problem - USB Stick not recognized by MI TV Stick - furthermore it is not even powered since the blue LED is not on (working with Fire TV Stick)
This is what I tried so far:
1.) use USB OTG Checker apk --> result: Device support USB OTG
2.) Contact Xiammi about this issue - reply:
I would like to inform you that the Xiaomi Mi TV Stick has a micro-USB port which unfortunately is not OTG and is not suitable for connecting other peripherals.
Is there a "workaround" to this issue?
Thanks for your reply
Any updates with getting OTG to work on the Mi stick?
