Yes, it should work. Do you know what the flash drive is formatted as? If you plug it into your computer (I'm assuming Windows) and go to File Explorer>Your Flash Drive>Right Click the image>Properties>File System
Tell us what it says. Sorry if my directions aren't the best, but you can just instructions on how to find file system type.
I tried two usb flash, the first didn't work and the second worked.
My 32gig patriot works just fine.

My 32GB Kingston does work over OTG...
Cheers!
Your question was answered in your original thread, yes it does. Try a different brand.

I successfully connected my 500 GB external hard drive to my phone with a $2 OTG cable.
Had to use Paragon NTFS to be able to access the drive, though (it's formatted to NTFS)
And it works with a 64gb ntfs formatted drive too.

For NTFS drives, the better and more convenient solution is to use Stickmount.
Just put the ntfs-3g module (see playstore page of Stickmount for link) in /sdcard.
I use a 1TB NTFS external harddisk without own power supply (!) with the G2, and it works without a hitch! This phone is able to do what my tablets can't! Thumbs Up!
My Sandisk Extreme 32GB USB 3.0 also works perfectly on my G2 (D802)
to be more clear.
using twrp 2.6.3.3 and AOKP 4.3
will read and write on 32 or 64 GB flash drive formatted either fat32 or NTFS. :good:
using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and STOCK AT&T 4.2.2 rooted
will read and write 32 GB fat32 flash drive :good:
will not mount 32 or 64 GB NTFS flash drive
I havent had any issues with OTG using thumb drives or micro sd...of any size...either works just fine.

When connecting any external storage or card reader with usb cable direct to my Iconia A500 tab, Astro Manager states on usb storage "directory is empty". This happens with all 4 storage units I have tried this with. What is wrong? Anybody? Thanks a million.
Are your devices formated FAT32? Stock Iconia will not recognize NTFS filesystems. Just a thought.
I get the same thing with my drives which are formatted with ext3. My sd cards which are FAT32 are read fine with a card reader.
FAT32 is the only thing I've tested and it works. It's amusing that a linux based OS has ext support removed. Guess tablets don't need >4GB files.
I downloaded the A500 User Manual yesterday and read through it. The Manual states that USB drives need to be formatted for either FAT or FAT32 to be read.

Apparently more than the moron engineer at Acer who thought to not include modules for ext and NTFS.
I connected a ntfs160 GB USB hdd to my a500 and it worked out the box. Also I was able to tether my desire using wifi. I don't understand why people are having to mod to do this.

Have a old 60gb external USB 2.0 hdd - formatted fresh using FAT - drive tests fine.
Cannot seem to get my a500 to use it - tried the "drive mount" tool from the market and I see my hdd under unmounted devices, when I try to mount it I get "driver for sda1 failed to load".
Running 3.1 early release, rooted.
One more question I had about USB - can I plug a powered or unpowered USB hub into the a500 and use both external keyboard / mouse at the same time?
(Edit: issue resolved. For some reason a full format using FAT produced a bad volume, whereas a full ntfs format worked like a charm. Next step: powered USB hub and I am gonna be so happy)
old drive
Is it in a old drive bay.some of the older external drive bays take alot of power. If it has a external power adaptor you might have to use it pluged iin. And trybto have your tablet pouted into power outlet as well.it helps with my 3.5 500 gig drive bay
Check
Yup - it's a older model and requires external power, which was plugged in - as well as the tab.
Formatted drive using Windows 7 - FAT was not a option, only exFAT or ntfs. Did full format.
Mount utility sees the drive - just cannot mount it. Might try a reformat from a older system and see if that helps.

Try formatting to ntfs, then use this to mount it. Works with my 750 gb external drive and it shows up under memory in settings. Also, yes both types of USB hubs, should work.
OK so I'm new and I can't post a link to Mega upload, but I can PM you the link if you like.

I am doing this on a rooted a500 running the early release of 3.1 - just used my Windows 7 desktop to format the drive as NTFS - using a free software package from market called "drive mount" which can mount lots of different devices. If you are not rooted - pretty sure the USB drive has to be FAT file system for it to work.
Sure, you can use Linux for the format - plenty of freeware tools for Linux that will do this for you in a nice GUI setting
I was planning pn using the gparted partition manager on puppy linux..........is it good enough?......and will my hdd suffer memory loss when I format it to fat32??

Generally reformatting a drive will delete all data on said drive. Would recommend backing it all up, formatting it - and restoring it.
Do you have root on your Iconica? If so - you should be able to mount the drive pretty much regardless of what format it is in - what type of file system is it?
I haven't rooted my device......and I meant free memory loss.....would the hdd size decrease??

Hi was wondering if it is possible to format my 64gb pen drive to NTFS and get my G2 to recognise it using a USB-OTG?

It doesn't appear to recognize it on mine. I tried a Sandisk Ultra 32GB that I've used on my Samsung TV, and it couldn't handle it. It could handle FAT32 on a Sandisk Cruzer using the same OTG adapter.
Disappointing if you want to access large files. I'm going to try ext3 next.
Edit....
I formated it on my Linux system, and it does read ext2, if you have that available. If you need large files, then that would be one solution. Maybe you can install NTFS-3G support, which is what Linux uses.

That's good to know for those that use windows. For Linux, which I use, it would take some work to get it, whereas ext2 is standard, stable, and works.
Perhaps F2FS (Flash Friendly File System, from Samsung) would be another possibility, although I don't know if it's available at all.
Hi guys, if you want NTFS support on your LG G2 all you have to do is install Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+.
Googled for G2 OTG NTFS support, came in here, tried Paragon and came back to tell you it worked flawlesly with my NTFS 1tb 2,5" external hdd.
thanks man .. tested with lg g2 kitkat stock rom .. just mounted onstorage\usb storage 1..2 ..3 .. you can even format your hdd :-o
I have the international version of the LG G2 32gb. Stock rooted with exposed framework, one or two navbar/statusbar modules installed.
I have tried a small 4gb usb drive and the G2 recognises it just fine. I have nothing bigger except for an old (perfectly working) 100gb usb external hard disk drive ntfs format. it doesn't rely on any power. USB cable from PC powers it just fine.
So when I connect this drive via USB OTG, my G2 simply doesn't see it. I've waited more than half hour to see if it is performing a media scan silently but it still doesn't show on any of my file explorers such solid and root explorer and stock one ofcourse.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Is it because it is an external hdd?
Is it because the phone can't power it on its own?
Is it that it can read only smaller cards less than 100gb? I don't have access to anything else to test.
Is USB OTG supported in aosp roms like pac man?
Thanks guys.

NTFS
That's your problem friend... Format it to FAT32 or root and use this
Cheers!
Really? Wow, I'm gonna have to transfer all those files from the hard drive first and then format right? I hope my G2 would recognise it then. I'll post an update soon as I can get my hands on another HDD to back up to before format.
Thanks.

The only thing is, my other small USB drive which did work via USB OTG is also NTFS format. Why would this work and not the larger capacity external HDD?

Are you 100% certain the other one is NTFS?
Android is not NTFS compatible out of the box (unless rooted).
Cheers!
Yes I'm sure. The 4gb USB stick that works over otg cable is actually what I used to create a quick recovery drive of my win8 laptop as soon as I unboxed it. Win8 requires the flash drive to be NTFS for the recovery image to be created. So I did as it asked and formated and it produced the recovery drive on it.
I now connect it to my G2 and it recognises the flash drive and it shows the contents as recovery files for windows.

NTFS is not supported. Please reformat it to FAT32.
NTFS can be supported through a mod though.
Android itself has never supported NTFS drives. Only Asus Tranformer devices support NTFS via third party drivers (Because of the USB port.)
Fat32 and exFAT are supported though.
FAT32 only supports files up to a maximum of 4GB. Useless for Semi-HD and Full-HD films.
exFAT supports files up to 16EB (ExaByte) (max file size in exFAT is redundant, since there aren't any drives commercially available over 5TB. Even the collective size of the entire internet is only 5EB.)
My advice, use exFAT.
I think ROM Toolbox comes with driver called Paragon NTFS, that should work with OTG USB NTFS storage, but you need to be rooted. I think this is the only alternate option to reformatting all your external storage to exfat, which may not be practical. Or do it Apple way, transfer data between 2 devices sitting next to each other, half across the globe and back using itunes, I mean cloud, like dropbox.
Thanks guys sooooo much

But how can i make my phone read ntfs?
