[Q] Gopro Hero 2 via otg-usb - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to transfer files from my Gopro camera to my Nexus 7. I am using this cable: eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter Compatible with Google Nexus 7. I have tried Stickmount and Nexus Media Importer. The camera is never recognized. A solution would be greatly appreciated.

Solved
It was a cable issue. I don't know how to describe what cable ended up working, except that It was the usb to mini, that was in the bathroom.

[Q] Unable to mount to OTG?

Hi,
Received my N4 this morning and also received my OTG adapter/cable.
However, when plugging the cable and adapter into the N4, it doesnt pick up that anything has been plugged in.
I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, and installed 'USB OTG Helper' - When attempting to mount using this, I get the error 'Mount: No Devices Found!'
I plug the OTG adapter into my friend's SII and it's picked up straight away..
Am I missing something?
Le bump
no go for me either
i have tried
-stickmount
-usb mass storage watcher
-usb host controller
-usb otg helper
[edit] -nexus media importer
"usb mass storage watcher OTG" says it will soon support 4.2

What have you tried to plug into the USB adapter?
I have an micro SD to USB adapter. It works fine in other phones..

yup
This is a TWRP problem. Happened to gnex when switching to 4.2. I'm sure team win or someone will address it soon.
The Nexus 4 does not support USB OTG, apparently it's because the phone does not supply 5v to the microUSB port so it cannot power connected devices.
Yeah as the user said above, otg doesn't work on N4 its a complete shambles from Google/LG hopefully in time they can get it operational. I had the same on my HTC One X with earlier builds but now it's working with the latest update.

[Q] OTG Stopped Working

So I bought one of those cheap (sub $1) OTG adapters from Amazon, and up until today it worked. I was able to import photos from my digital camera and use a USB mouse. Today I can't get it to work at all. Not the mouse, not the camera, not anything else.
Regular USB (charging and PTP mode, I would have tested MTP as well, but it's not compatable with my laptop) works fine. I'm able to transfer files to and from the tablet, and it charges fine.
Is something wrong with the OTG cable or my tablet? Will I have to buy a new OTG cable to test?
If its only <$1 just get another one or two! Sounds like a cable problem if everything else is working
Christmas is coming, I see the shadows of Ebeneezer Scrooge !!
Are you using stick mount to load the OTG onto the N10? If so thats probably why. When i first installed my stickmount it worked but wouldn't see any of the files on the USB drive. Now after i've unlocked and rooted the device it won't even show the usb drive attached. I switched to Nexus media importer and it works fine, but i believe stickmount is having issues with 4.2.
However if the OTG cables did cost you less than a buck replacing them may be the solution too.

[Q] U.S. USB host problems t-mobile

Hello. Had my note 4 since release and just now trying to use usb host / otg and having no luck. Absolutely no devices are working on my note 4. Tried the otg adapter on my nexus 10 and its fine so unless there is a special adapter needed for the note 4 the otg cable is not the problem. I have tried a xbox controller a mous and a thumb drive and nothing not even led lights showing activation.
So any advice or is my usb port bad? Been using vanilla android for a while (nexus devices) is there a setting im not use to maybe?
solved
It appears my motorola otg is not compatable with the note 4. Tried a samsung otg and all works. Guess not all cables are equal?

Nexus Player with external usb sound card adapter?

Hello, just wondering if anyone doing the same like me. I want to hook up my external speaker using an usb sound card adapter (like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...rue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) but not sure if it's work with Nexus Player or not. Already had an OTG Cable with USB Hub.

OTG problems

Does the nexus 6p have OTG support? I have tried searching and didn't come up with anything definitive. Some say it works some say it doesn't. I currently have this OTG: Monster USBOM-0064-L 64GB USB 3.0 High Speed Mobile https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S70GGKI/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_a92zwbV8J56A7
and this adapter

I can't get it to work. I am on Beanstown's Pure Nexus rom. Is it because of the pure nexus rom? Or is it my hardware?

I'm on Pure Nexus and OTG works fine for me. I'm not sure what your problem is but I don't think its the ROM.

What OTG device are you using? What adapter do you use?

I'm using a Kingston USBc 64gb jump drive.
Yea I am pretty sure the problem is my adapter but I think I am just going to buy a USBc OTG.

I picked up this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWN64RS and it works great!
OTG works but you need a USBc OTG adapter.
Using a USBc to MicroUSB adapter with a MicroUSB OTG cable does not seem to work.
I don't have write access as a user, only READ ONLY
I tried several known good USB drives. I tried several file managers. The system can write and reformat the USB drives. The Nexus 6P is not rooted. Is this normal? Any suggestions to get it to work? My head hurts from banging it against a wall.
Sorry to post dig, but ive got a working adapter but im seeing an issue:
- Sub 5mb per second transfer speeds
This is with es file explorer, but on other android devices with the same usb2 stick i cam easily get 14mb per second.
What speeds do you guys get?
I was able to get OTG working when I got this adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017MP658G ). Not every device works on it, however. Several USB thumb drives have worked with no issues, one inexplicably does not. Also, and more disappointing, is that my USB to SATA adapter doesn't seem to be recognized. I have a 120gb SSD that I used this method with my LG G3 and it worked fine.
Maybe it's the adapter? Changing setting from "supply power" to "transfer files" does nothing to change it. It sees there's a USB attached, but doesn't read the format.
I've tried several USB to type C adapters with stock Nexus 6p. All of adapters had USB3.0 support, it's important. They all worked fine with USB2.0 flash drives and they all didn't with USB3.0 flash drive. I've ordered some adapters USB2.0 to type C to test.
UPD: I've tested six USB to USB type C adapters with both USB3.0 and USB2.0 support - they all not working with USB3.0 flash drives and work wine with USB2.0 flash drive. Also: the phone can recognize the drive but can't mount it.
I'm sure this is the phone issue - I've seen successful mount of my test flas drive with one of adapters on some Xiaomi phone.
