Hi All
I am currently facing an issue with using a USB 3.0 Flash Drive on my N9005.
I recently bought a Kingston DTHX30/64GB from Amazon and the benchmark which I did personally at a IT Retail Shop at the mall using their AlienWare Laptop show that the USB Flash Drive is working perfectly at > 300/150 (W/R).
I bought an OTG Cable from a local online shop but the benchmark shows only 30/20 (W/R).
The only tests that I have yet to conduct is to borrow another N9005 to verify if the fault lies on the cable or my phone.
Anyone out there is facing the same issue?
Is this a firmware issue?
Please delete this post, I did not see that there is already a thread on this issue.

My apologies.

Upgrades from DI18 to EC05 and now my Mass Storage doesn't show up on my PC as a removable disk. I can't move any files to or from my phone now.
Any workarounds?
Any ideas how to fix? I can see the files on the phone using the file manager on the phone. Gallery shows up fine, too.
Thanks!
I have had this problem myself with the dk28 firmware. Try a non Samsung micro usb cable, I found the blackberry cable of good quality and install all of Samsung drivers on your computer.
I had the same problem. Tried a friend's cable that came with his Droid, and it worked right away. Went into a Sprint store with my stock Samsung cable, explained that it was bad, and the rep gave me a Blackberry cable as a replacement.
Mine doesn't work either, I think since EC05. I bought an OEM Blackberry cable and still no dice. Neither my PC nor my Macbook will recognize it. I just ended up buying a MicroSD card reader and transfer data externally.
I'll try another cable sometime soon. I'm guessing it was ec05 that broke mine. I use Double Twist to sync music, so I need the USB connection!
EDIT
It works now that I have a new USB cable. Same cable from the Epic, but the Spring store gave me a new one...
ok had my xoom a few weeks now , im UK xoomer with us 3.1 (BRD), sd card working great , all is good apart from .....
Got my ebay OTG cable from china today , it works after a shutdown/restart but when I unplug the pendrive and plug it in again there are no contents ?????
So my cheap no name 8gb pen drive works on a cold start , but my kingston 16gb datatraveller does'nt seem to work at all, any ideas
Do I need to mount my usb drive ?
Also , does it matter what allocation unit size you use when you format a pendrice to use with xooms ?
any answers or thoughts appreciated
thanks

I don't think they are hot swappable. Size doesn't matter...

so I have to restart every time I want to access a usb drive ?
I thought they might have automounted etc.
I have'nt tried a digital camera yet , but , if I connect my usb drive then unplug it , i have to restart to be able to connect my digital cam ? , does'nt sound good ...
I am having similar issues. I can plug a drive/ stick in 3 times at the most. Then I HAVE to reboot for the xoom to see anything else. I hope someone fixes the issue. Friend of mine is having the same issues. Use brd method of updating and rooting. 3g model
P.s. USB mice and keyboards are not affected. Just drives/ sticks with data.

I wonder if it will stay this way? Is really inconvenient.

I thought I would mention this in case anyone else was interested in these findings. I just bought the 8.9 Tab, and according to the Samsung website, their 30 pin USB connector is not compatible with the 8.9 tablet. I even talked with customer service via live chat and they told me the same thing. Didn't make much sense to me, so when I saw one today at Best Buy, I decided to buy it and give it a shot.
Good news is it worked fine for me..I tested with a USB thumb drive and a dell USB keyboard..both worked. Tried my external USB drive, but no luck. For one, its probably the wrong format. For another, the booklet says the connector supports 32GB max and my hdd is 500GB.
For some reason my Nexus 7 won't recognize any USB device I connect through an USB OTG cable.
I tried several USB-sticks and mice (which should work even without root) without success.
After reading through all related topics I found that most people fixed their problems by buying a different adapter so I went ahead and bought:
1. Micro USB HOST OTG cable adapter on the go for Google Nexus 7 - 7" Tablet ( 330805061387 ),
2. USB OTG On The Go HOST CABLE for Samsung ET-R205U i9100 Galaxy S2 Galaxy Note
and
3. another one that has no cable but the male micro USB plug attached directly to the female type A plug.
None of them work!
I am running PA 2.54 (obviously rooted), tried different kernels. I also did a full wipe and installed other roms that people reported working USB-OTG with, nothing.
I upgraded my bootloader (which has nothing to with it I think, but did it anyways) and tried CWM and now TWRP recovery.
TWRP has native USB-OTG support, but even at recovery level none of the cables/adapters work.
I even cut off some of the plastic coating on of the micro USB plugs as some people claimed they got their cable to work that way...
On my Galaxy Nexus all (!) adapters work flawlessly with all USB-Sticks and mice I tried. In Android and in TWRP recovery (same version as on my N7)
I just ordered another OTG adapter but I honestly don't expect that one to work either.
Now I am beginning to suspect that my N7 is not capable of USB Host mode or OTG at all. Is that even possible?
Charging and connection to my PC works fine though btw.
Has anyone had the same experience?
Any solutions?
I'm thankful for any tips!
You haven't mentioned using Stickmount or a similar app to mount your peripherals. Have you overlooked that step?
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow. 49.6 mpg avg for 38k miles in non-hybrid Scion xB
+1 you need to use stockpiling thought mine was broken till I got that app and now works

Yes, I have stickmount installed. And all other USB otg related apps on play store... No device found.
But as I said, it is not even working in twrp recovery so I suppose it is not android related but something is wrong with the hardware.
I mean it is possible I just got three incompatible otg cables but how can those be the wrong cables anyways? As they all work on my gnexus, they're not broken and USB otg just has pin 4 and 5 connected, so there is nothing special in them either...

I have the same problem except it's with my Galaxy S3, the OTG cable works fine on my Nexus with stickmount pro, but even though my galaxy S3 recognises the external HD I cannot view any of my files

At least your s3 recognizes the hd. My Nexus doesn't recognize any device I plug in. They don't even power up (optical mouse not blinking etc)

Try a custom Rom if you're not already running one, on stock I couldn't even get WiFi Tethering to work never mind external HDD but since flashing liquid smooth ROM its been fine, pity wont work with my Galaxy S3

Are you using stickmount pro and did you download the ntfs files to /sdcard ?
How to put ntfs files to /sdcard?
i have the same problem with not mounting anyhting via ota cable. I have root and latest android 4.2.1, I tried all free android app for mounting and still cant mount anything.
I would love to keep stock rom if possible.
And is it possible to mount usb internet stick (huawei e3131a) with otg? That`s only thing I need.

It's not the Nexus 7's problem . You have to be rooted, have an app like Stickmount to mount the peripherals, have the data in a recognized (EXT, FAT) format, use a compatible USB-OTG cable, and know where Stickmount et al mounts the peripheral.
If you do all that, you'll have full r/w access to your peripherals. I've downloaded photos from my camera's SD card to my N7 using a 4 way card reader, r/w data to/from a USB flash drive, connected to my PC, & attached a wireless keyboard's USB dongle.
I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow (49.6 mpg over 38k miles in Scion xB)
I recommend fat32 over fat. If you need support for files over 4Gb you will have to allow for ntfs support with a custom kernel unless Chainfire is getting support built into Stickmount.
I just bought another cable off Amazon which was labeled to work with the N7 and got 100% positive reviews from buyers.
Of course it doesn't work on my device. (works fine on my Galaxy Nexus again...)
Just tried to connect a USB mouse this time.
I installed SmoothRom and ParanoidAndroid on my Nexus 7 and it doesn't work on either. Stock Kernel, franco, bicked - nothing.
Giving up here.
I guess my Nexus just doesn't have OTG support for some reason.
Still thankful for any advice though
bumping the thread again
Hey bastlwastl,
just bumping this thread to ask you if you got any advances with your problem. I have the same problem too- the OTG cable i have works with my friends' Nexus 7, another's Xperia Z, and another's Xperia ** (forgot the model number). they instantly recognize the pendrives AND hard drives (they light up). All three of them aren't rooted or unlocked or anything - i tried it within fews days they made the purchases. So I also suspect this is a fault with MY nexus 7. Did you find anything regarding this?
Its been 2 yrs, i am facing this issue it started in rainy season
but last year it automatically got fixed (it was summer then) again started facing same issue (from rainy season):crying:
i tried (I am still using OG usb cable and Adapter so for god's sake don't tell me to use OG asus adapter and USB cable):
1. Flashing ROMs from RR(Nougat and MM) by tank, Borets ROM by Borets24 to Montana ROM
2. changed Micro USB port on my device.
3. reinstalled drivers on My PC.
4. visited Service Center (they are saying to change motherboard)
5. changing mode from MTP to Charge only and vice versa.
6. tried other usb cable and charger (from XIAOMI standard 10 Watt).
so tell me what i should do now ?
Usb not detected
Same same issue I have been also faced... All possible setup tried but failed to detect on pc, just charging. How to fix it? Thank you
I changed the USB socket...
Solved...
Changing port didn't helped me
fisrt sorry for my bad english
i faced this issue yesterday when i change my battery to my mom cel (both zf5) because her cel battery is dead. anyway when i connect on pc nothing happens so i remember to look flat cable(or SIM cable) to move. i read long time ago that if you drop your phone maybe the cable move a little little bit and its enough to won't be reconized anymore by pc and maybe cause erros on SIM1. i open again and reconnect the cable on motherboard and southboard and it works again. check it or search for it or how you do it. i hope it helps. good lucky
Same issue otg and usb cable not working only charging.
Replace sim tray assembley
Hi, hope this will solve your problem.
I'm facing the same problem with my zenfone 5. and alredy replace second mother board in my phone(micro usb assambley) and the problem still exsisted.
I found a solution in a zentalk forum where there are many people face the same problem as ours, the phone refuse tu connect to mtp,ptp or any usb debugging wheater its abd fastboot or even usb on-the-go.
the solution was replacing the sim tray assambley, where the ribbon connect motherboard 1(main) to motheboard 2(micro usb assmbley).
It have worked for me, the only regret that I have was, I have buchered the new sim sim tray slots during replacemen(those thing are super fragile) but now my phone can conect to pc and recodnise usb OTG.
it may not worked for your phone but it worth a try of you are willing to spend some money to buy the sim tray assmbley.
here I will include a picture of my replaced parts. Parts makked with number 2 need replacement.
be very careful when replacing the sim tray they are super fragile.
creddit to zentalk user for pointing this problem.
sorry for my rubbish english.
