[HELP] MI TV STICK - enabling eternal storage - Android Stick & Console Computers General

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?

Note 10.1 and OTG

Hi.
Now and then I use my OTG connnector for things such as a pendrive or my xbox 360 controller.
I'm having a hard time fot the tablet to read them so I found my work around is to reset my device and then connect either one of them and not as intended....kind of annoying of course.
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks

With the latest Galaxy Note 10.1 update in the UK, suddenly I can't run the PS3 controller or USB Memory card reader that I used previous to the update. Fortunately, though, they both still work on my Galaxy Note phone. I would be interested in finding out if there is a workaround to get USB OTG working again on my 10.1

From everything I've read, OTG is problematic on JB 4.1.2. Some report certain OTG cables work while some report that none work. The bad news is that Google broke Bluetooth on JB 4.2 and still can't resolve that issue with the latest release. Truthfully, I'm happy to sit back and let Nexus device users discover major bugs introduced in the constant stream of updates that Google pushes out. They end up doing the beta testing that Google doesn't seem to do very well in house. I wish Google would take the time to thoroughly beta test in house and only release an annual update. They really have egg on their faces with the Bluetooth fiasco.
Otg is working for me with 4.1.2 stock, rooted N8010XXUCMA8
I tried samsung usb connector, powered usb hub with wireless keyboard/mouse, thumbdrive fat32, and hard drive (one partition ext4).
All worked together. Windows fat formatted partitions on thumbdrive and hard drive mounted automatically, ext4 mounted ok manually.
OTG works for me also... My main issue is that sometimes I have to reboot my tablet in order to get my pen drive or Xbox controller working... A little annoying

Nexus Media Importer
I tested the Nexus Media Impoter App on my Note 10.1 German Stockrom (ma8)..
And now I can read from my hard drive with external power ,which is formated to NTFS..
The problem is that after I connected the hard drive to my note 10.1 it shows me a notification : Clear Storage or something like that..
please don´t touch on it ! after a few seconds pops up a message from nexus media importer in the middle of the screen to accept media importer as default app.. after that Nexus media importer starts and i can read on my hard drive
The App lets you only read and copy (not tested yet) from the hard drive!!!
To close the app tap on settings in the top right corner and chose disconnect !!
The app will close and the " Clear Storage" notification will show up but that doesn´t matter my hard drive was succesfully disconnected.
I hope I could help someone who want only read from his hard drive
ah and video plays very smooth
last but not least i don´t know if it works for everyone!!
sorry for my bad english

At times like these I use USB Host Diagnostics by Chainfire
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493325
just tap on Star diagnostics and it should reset whatever that is stuck, no need for system reboot

Do this.
Unplug your otg cable from you galaxy note 10.1
Download an app called "usb otg helper" (the free version) from the google play store.
Run the app
Plug you usb drive into your otg cable
Plug your otg cable into your galaxy note 10.1
A window will pop up. Check the box that say something along the lines of "let usb otg helper handle all usb devices plugged into this device"
A file manager window should open on top of the usb otg helper app (astro file manager popped up on my screen)
In that file manage window, navigate to your storage folder. Is your storage folder, you should see sdcard01 (this is your internal sd card [16gig or 32 gig, depending on which version of the tablet you bought]), extsdcard (if you have an external sd card loaded in your slot), and UsbDriveA (the usb drive you plugged into your otg cable)
If you checked the box that asked if you want usb otg helper to handle all of your usb devices, the usb otg helper app will always automatically mount your usb drive everytime you plug in your usb drive via the otg cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE
in order for your galaxy note 10.1 to recognize your usb drive, YOU MUST PLUG YOUR USB DRIVE INTO YOUR OTG CABLE before YOU PLUG YOUR OTG CABLE INTO YOUR TABLET.
otherwise your tablet will only recognize the otg cable, and not the usb device.
I need more time to figure out the deal with the ps3 controller.
My HTC One S used to recognize my ps3 controller at one point and now the same ps3 controller is not being recognized by my galaxy note 10.1 or my htc one s.
I think that my problem with my ps3 controller has something to do with me getting the ps3 controller to work with games on my windows pc.
Once I figure out the solution to the ps3 controller issue, I'll post it here.
Ir this helped you, hit the thanks buttom.

it's the reason why i will never upgrade to jellybean on my note 10.1 i play a lot of gta 3 on it and i don't want to use the touch screen for controls, that would be horrible, i'm hoping that with 4.3 hopefully the problem can be resolved but i won't hold my breath on that matter.
Doesn't work for me, unfortunately. USB devices are only recognized immedeately after a reboot. The OTG helper app doesn't change that.
Mine works well on stock rooted. With a usb hub with 2 8gb pen drives, one formated to ntfs.

[Q] USB Stick, External Hard Drive Not being detected by TCL Android (4.2) Smart TV

I've been searching for an answer for this issue, so far no luck
TCL 40 inch Android Smart TV(not Rooted)
2 - USB 2.0 ports
1-USB 3.0 ports
1 2.0 usb camera
I have a 500gb WD(NTFS Format) and a usb stick both are being detected and working as it should when I first got the TV.
Suddenly it is not being detected anymore
Although both lights(External and USB) are blinking and if you touch the hard drive you can feel its running
but when I check the media devices connected its just detecting the SD card.
I tried switching usb ports(including the 3.0) but still not being detected
I use the usb camera to all the usb ports and its being detected
Tried another type of otg cable not detected.
I tried just using the usb stick, still not detected
Tried Factory reset on the Android TV but no helo.
and both(WD and usb stick) are being detected in my laptop, using thesame otg cable.
ES FILE Manager sees the devices but when I open it nothing will show up.
Tried stickmount no go as well
I installed USB host controller
and connect all the usb devices and it sees it
when I go to info(usb host controller)
Im getting S3C USB Host driver NOT Found
Root hub present, USB host mode is Active.
Not sure what that is but I tried searching it no where to download it.
I was configuring Kodi TV on the smart tv before the issue happened
so I decided to uninstall it and did factory reset.
Appreciate the inputs.

USB OTG?

Hi guys, should have my P8max tomorrow, was just wondering if any of you guys had tested USB OTG with it? If it can't do USB audio out then that's going to be a major problem for me (if it doesn't support it natively that's OK, providing an app like USB Audio Player PRO or Hiby Music Player works). Generally anything that has OTG support will work with those apps, so should be fine, but always nice to have confirmation - don't suppose anyone here has tested it out? Any other feedback about USB OTG welcome.
i tested internet via usb otg. It's not working bec. google has disabled usb otg on android 4.4 and higher. why? i don't know. it's stupid google decision.
internet via usb can be enabled but:
1. it's need root
2. it's always need wifi or fake wifi connection
3. stupid google
USB OTG drives work for me, the DACs I have also work, although they need USB Audio Player PRO or Hiby Music to function. Only phone I've tried with functional USB ethernet via OTG was the ASUS Padfone Infinity, and even there I suspect it only worked because the drivers were intended for use in tablet mode.

ASUS Padfone Infinity on Android 4.4.
Trouble with USB ethernet via OTG users have on Android 5.0 and higher.
Confirmed ... USB OTG works for my P8 max...
Confirm Usb OTG working on DEV701-L europe.
I have connected a 1 Tb 2,5" external Hd and it worked perfectly.

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

Otg works for me plus microsd, awesome
I don't find my self using otg if I had sd card expansion
Honor 8 supports USB OTG.
Refer the document given for further reference on its usage.
Official Honor 8 USB OTG Document Link - https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1613
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.
The same here
I wonder if there is any relation between emui5 "android" and the service activation

how do I get USB OTG working?

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
