Can't use USB flash drive with my phone - OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers

When I insert them in other phones, they work. But it doesn't work with Oneplus 8T anymore. It detects a USB device but doesn't show the storage content. I tried formatting between NTFS/exFAT/MBR/GUID but nothing worked

Probably a defective USB port or, simply, a bad driver issue. Try to force the Google USB driver with Device Manager on Windows

So do you mean USB OTG directly to the OnePlus 8T?

Yes

Ever since I upgraded to OOS13 I haven't gotten any USB drives to work while plugged into the phone as well. They have been formatted differently - exFat and Fat32. These same drives work with my Samsung tablet which tells me it's more of a OnePlus problem

Cannot access SD card on Captivate

I connected my phone to my computer using USB, selected "Mass Storage", 2 new removable drives appeared on my computer. However, neither drives connect to the internal 16G SD card. Both drives told me to insert the media when I double clicked on it. I tried this on a XP and a Win 7 machine with the same result. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a defected phone?
I have the exact same problem on XP and win7... I've tried everything I can think of including several different cables.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Make sure you're choosing "Mount" on the Captivate after connecting the cable.
See here:
http://capfaq.com/w/Connectivity#Connecting_to_a_Windows_based_PC
This device NEEDS drivers, even for the Massive Storage device (At least it didn't work for me, Win7 x64 until I installed the drivers)
Try downloading KIES and try again, the x64 drivers you can fin around here didn't seem to work for me.
What rom are you running?

You only need driver if you're on XP. No drivers needed for Vista or Win7.
But you do have to MOUNT the drives on your phone. There are reasons why a MOUNT is required. But if you're too lazy, you can download an app from market to auto-mount for you.

Incorrect. I have lost track of how many XP machines I've hooked my Captivate to in Mass storage mode and not needed to install any drivers.
Oh my god you guys rock... I never had to mount the device before. I wonder why that changed recently?
Anyway, mounting the device worked.
Thanks!!
When I go to my SD settings, it is already mounted. I've unmounted, then mounted to no avail. I've downloaded and installed teh drivers from Samsung and everything says it is successful. If I try to run in USB debug mode I get the same result except 3 drivers install automatically than the 1 when I am in regular mode. Any ideas?

Make sure you are connected directly to the back of the computer, not thru a hub, or the front of the computer case. I've heard the voltages needed have very tight tolerances. Try a different cable as well

You are doing the wrong thing. SD settings and mount/unmount in there is for the SD card mounting to your phone, not PC.
To connect Mass Storage mode to PC, you need set your USB mode to Mass Storage, and turn off USB debug mode. Once connected to PC, you need to go to notification window and tap on the USB notification to mount your SD cards to PC.
I just found that before I checked your reply. Thanks for the help. I can actual access the storage on the phone now without some weird settings. Now if 2.2 would only come out for the Captivate. Thanks.

I have already tried it. Nothing :/ is there any way to fix this?
Install the new LG USB driver. No need of any suite. Check cable and ports.
It will work.

Thank you very much. It works now almost perfectly but for copying files to sd is it enough.

[Q] OTG doesn't recognise my USB memory card

Hi, when I plug in my usb memory nothing happens, I installed USB OTG Helper and I get code 5, I already tried another memory card and it doesn't work either, however, I tried a mouse and it works perfectly, what can I do?
Maybe only FAT32 file system is accepted.
The usb disk is formatted in NTFS or FAT32?

I just checked and it is FAT32, I have never used OTG so I don't know what to do...
EDIT: I just checked OTG Troubleshooter and it even says the model of my usb memory stic so I'm guessing the issue is I can't/don't know exactly how to acces the data on it

It might be worth the $4 for Nexus Media Importer available on the Play Store. I tested it on the Moto G and it's working flawlessly. Keep in mind there's always the off chance your OTG cable is incompatible.
I have the same problem after updating to kit kat (only works wireless keyboard), in 4.3 all worked perfectly. All usb has mounted with FAT32 system.
Sorry for my english.

Are you sure that you used a third party tool to mount the USB? KitKat doesnt support OTG anymore/at the moment.

[Q] USB OTG mount problem

HI guys, I am very satisfied with this phone when I got it a week ago. However, I was facing sometimes my phone unable to mount USB OTG storage, I mean the USB drive won't lit at all / detect by phone, I have to reboot the phone then it only gets detected. Any other way round to solve this without rebooting?
I haven't had trouble using my OTG usb stick so far. Have you tried using Nexus Media Importer? It lets you mount/unmount on demand.
Does it show the USB drive as unmounted in the Storage menu?
Also, did you try a different thumb drive with a different filesystem on it? I cannot reproduce your issue at all.
Ok after my investigation, the USB OTG still works but just the USB port of my phone unable to supply power, if I use a power bank + USB hub then connect to my phone, my phone detects the USB drive. Similar to somewhat my phone requires external power to mount. But if I reboot my phone then the USB OTG work properly again though. Until I remove and remount it next time, then the problem occur again.
Currently my phone setup as my signature. No custom kernel but just recovery.

Ok I know whats the problem now. You can try during deep sleep insert in your USB OTG. It can't detect at all even if you remove and reinsert. Have to reboot the phone. So my guess is right I think. The phone have to screen on to insert USB OTG or else it cannot detect.

I don't have 1TB but I have 500GB and it works without external power.

few older phones supported 500gig portable hard drive too but did not support 1tb, my phone will be delivered tomorrow I'll update here then.
Fingers crossed.
I just tried a 16GB USB drive through an OTG cable, and it didn't detect it. My screen was on, and I was running stickmount as well.
I had to restart the phone to get it to detect.
I have the same issue with my N8010. Have to restart to get it to recognise the USB.
Hopefully, there will be a simple solution to this.

Awesome, so my 1TB is working with the one no problems whatsoever.:thumbup:

Well it seems in my case it's rather random, sometimes USB drives (or HDD's) will mount, other times nothing happens at all, while some drives refuse to mount at all.
Maybe it's faulty cable don't know?
I have problem
I was able to mount USB 3.0 64 gb without any formating, and it shows in settings too, but now I can't see it in settings and in El file explorer it is very slow.. What should I do, I can't format to fat32
Same Problem
I can not get any drive to stay mounted, cable works fine on nexus 5 so do the drives but no luck with opo has anyone any info on this since oct 2014 post
I can not get any drive to work too. I tried variuos, from 1gb to 500gb, also tried with FAT and NTFS, none of them working. Please help. I am using CM12S, newest firmware, it doesnot work, on 11S it did not worked, i tried on Oxygen OS, doesnot work too.

USB C Drives not recognised

As above. I have some USB C drives and they don't get recognised. They did work earlier, or one did. It's a Samsung 128mb, brand new. Tried formatting on windows. Any ideas what to change? Op6/Jaguar.

Set your USB mode to MTP.
