USB OTG Problems - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I try to connect my USB storage but I fail every time.
I tried it with CyanogenMod 11 and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820
Then I installed the PAC Rom and the kernel above and it also doesn't work.
When I go to Settings > Storage I get the Dialog "Settings was terminated" (or something equal, I have the german language enabled).
So I don't know what I make wrong. even when I'm wipe my phone and install a new rom and then install the kernel, it doesn't work...
Hope you can help
Regards

Do you have a powered OTG cable? Nexus 4 doesn't support stock OTG cable.
What kernel are you running, stock doesn't work.

I use Franco of ziddey (cm version) .
And I have a powered otg cable.

Could be the cable and/or y-connector is not working. Can you get any USB connection to work?

USB device Not Recognized

Whenever i plug in my i9000, it just pop up an error msg ÜSB Device not recognized. I'm trying to get Kies to recognize my i9000
I tried following this but it doesnt work at all.
it worked for me on kies, but i didn;t like it anyways
What i did was go to settings --> about phone --> usb settings
and try the other options (i'm using media player option, not sure why mass storage doesn't work)
Did you try to change the usb ports on your pc (stick the cable into different usb ports)?

changing the usb port does help, however when i unplug it and restart my com, it does not recognize it anymore
What OS are u running?
Could also have something to do with the number of irq's on your motherboard.
PC's older then aprox. 3/4 years have less irq's and can have trouble with much external devices

Have a look at this site from HardwareZone.com.
It's heavily populated but you only need to read the last five or so pages.

yeah i am looking at that thread too, however thanks for the link here, good for documentation as well, appreciated
keevy17, u have the phone already? If yes, you could help us resolve our questions in last pages of this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694835&page=9
Q: Are there any notifications (on screen, backlight of buttons, ...) about missed calls, new mails, sms? Is there any notification when u charge the battery and the battery is fully charged?
Thanks in advance.
The default USB connection is to activate Samsung Kies. You'll have to go to settings->About Phone->USB Settings to change. If it doesn't work after changing, soft reset the phone and try again.
Caused me a bit of head scratching until I went through the options.
Now am having same problem, can'r see mass storage in my computer.
I think I read you need to enable USB Debugging then it will work. for both of you I believe.
With USB debug i can only use adb, nothing works. If i disable debug i can copy files via MTP protocol but mass storage doesn't work.
Edit.
Found the problem, it doesn't mount it self like Desire/N1 i had mount it my self. All working.

hassan,
I've not yet had a chance to use the phone yet. Can you tell me how you mount the USB in order to use it with a PC?

It was bit tricky to start with as i thought my phone is broke. First go to setting > About > USB Settings > and select Ask on connection. Plug the cable in to the and from drop down notification bar and hit USB connected then you get the option to mount the mass storage.

Thanks hassan, I'll try it later.
If you want kies to work with the phone, dont kill MTP.. But kies is acting weird, soemtimes it doesnt see the phone, but after unplug and replug it works again.. I've given up on kies actually, over 100MB to download and worst than some beta software i've used.
also, i cannot get samsung apps to work on kies, it just error or timeout.. you guys hv any luck?
I haven't tried kies yet, i'll try when i get home from work.
Anybody know how to mount on a Mac? I tried changing the USB settings to Mount/Media, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] how to enable MTP on CM10?

seems much faster SD card writing speed via MTP then USB mass storage, but everytime when I connect to PC, it is forced to use USB mode. appreciate if anyone can help.
Marmite kernel have MTP function. May be you can try it out.

is there any other way no need to flash kernel?
You must first enable MTP on your phone to see if the stock CM kernel already supports it. You can go to settings > Storage and tap on the capacitive menu button (Second from the left). If you see USB Computer Connection or USB settings, tab on it.Now you must select Media Device (MTP) instead of mass storage device at this point. Then you connect to your computer. If the phone is now detected as a media device, you would know that MTP support is built in. If not, then you must flash marmite to get MTP to work.
Even though they have the option in their storage settings, I don't think their stock kernel supports mtp.
If you try my kernel for cm, you will not be disappointed.

Defy+ No USB connection

Hi everyone,
My phone isn't showing up as USB device when connected to computer. I have tried installing latest CM 10 quarx's ROM but no success (I transferred new ROM through wifi - Dropspot app). Could this be a hardware problem or something else?
I have already tried using a different cable and restarted my phone(many times) and computer (once).
Any help will be appreciated!
Please helps. I have even tried with CM10 05.12.12 build(I am sure usb mount was working with this build) but no change.

I too faced a similar problem,. try connecting to different computer to check., IF its working in other computers.,
Then remove all mobile related drivers from Windows Device manager(Show hidden devices).,
The problem would be solved

N4 not recognize by PC

I know it's a really common and simple problem but I google it several time and I can't figure out how to solve this.
When I plug the device onto the PC it begin to charge, but I can't browse the folder inside the N4 cause it's not seen by the PC itself.
the N4 has stock rom android 4.3 with stock kernel, unlocked bootloader and root permission.
I tried to:
-use different cables
-use different usb ports (2.0-3-0)
-enable USB debugging
-install MTP driver from microsoft site
-install ADB driver from google nexus toolkit
-put it in PTP mode
-install other driver suggested by another toolkit
when I was on 4.2.2 all worked fine, but since I installed CM 10.1 and android 4.3 I can't see the folder such as music or download.
Someone can help me? this thing is really annoying

nope, can't see the phone there

I'm having the same issue here and can't get my device to be recognized by various computers. This was after flashing CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) and the problem still persists in CM 11.0 (Android 4.4).
Prior to that the device connected normally as it showed up on device manager and my PC making the USB connect sound.
Is this potentially hardware problem as well?
Thanks in advance.

Hi gt-kingz, I tried that and it won't work. Do I try wiping my system and then re-installing CM 11.0 or Android 4.4?

It won't fix it. I have the same problem since I installed 4.4 (tried many different roms). Usb Debugging + p2p is the only working solution for me.
I tested on Xp/7/8 even with different drivers. But well, I would just use Airdroid.
I have the same problem!

Try different USB wire. If the problem persist; uninstall and reinstall N4 drivers.

Hi badboy47, have tried different USB wires and even different computers. With regards to the N4 drivers, I can't even see the device in device manager when plugged into my PC. Or did you mean uninstalling the universal ADB drivers?
Thanks!
