hi...
as the title...
who all are succeded in connecting usb external hdd to iconia ?
cause i tried with two, and booth are not recognized
one is pendrive sense 320gb, second is wd 250gb
all you who can connect, whats your hdd??
fyi, i can connect card reader and usb thumb drive
UPDATE
OKEY..
so i tried connecting my hdd through a powered usb hub, and still no luck,
i tried connect it with a Y cable, one to iconia and onte to powered hub, also no luck ...
is there any other way to try ? tried every thing from usb mount all, ntfs mount, charging while plugging , usb powered, new HDD, fat32 formatted , ntfs HDD and all in vain...
if not then, i am sure my device is defective of something....
How were they formatted? At those sizes, I'm going to guess they were formatted to NTFS which Android cannot read natively. There is, however, a thread in the Development section which includes a driver to enable NTFS support on the A500.

i have installed ntfs mount and usb mount all, they just are not detected at all..
I just got my tab today, rooted and installed ntfs mount. No problems getting into my 500gig external hdd, formatted in ntfs.

I tried both 320gb Seagate and 750gb passport worked fine...They both formatted in fat32.
HM.. IT SEEMS , ONLY I CANT Get my hdd TO WORK IN ICONIA...
wonder why
is anyone here in asia or may be in indonesia??
may be this is rom related ?
l live in china ,very far from you .....
i still wait for the 3.1 update.
i am not sure can i receive ota update if i root it.
so i dont root ,and still wait.
well ,if i get the update of 3.1 ,i will come back and reply .
i have a 2T hdd, buffalo.
Okey... So now i have tried at least 6 different hdd and all failed...
I start to think ut is my hardware or rom problem?
Any solution ?
When i first connected a hdd i also thought it didn't work. When i looked at mnt/usb_storage.........no filelist. But when i got a cup of coffee and looked again the filelist was there. Apparantly the Acer needs a time to scan the HDD which can be long when it is large. So l'lle patience.

Are you sure you have power (external) going into your HD? I tried a WD portable and it wouldn't be read by the A500 until I connected it to an external power supply. Then I could read it without any problems.

how to connect it with external power supply ?
my hdd has only 1 usb slot, not 2 ..
Guy's....just download (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool) to format your HD's to fat32. I did my 250 & 500GB HD and it work just find. Windows just don't format right...that's why I don't use windows to format my HD's. If you have Linux use Gparted.

I also have a 250gb that I can't get to read but then it needs dual-powered cable to be read on my laptop so I expected that. But my 320gb Buffalo, my 32gb Patriot and my 80gb Maxtor read just fine. All are NTFS. I have a 160gb from work that I will try tomorrow.
Connect it to windows and pull up the disk administrator (where you create partitions) and see if the disk is basic or dynamic? Just a hunch... have you tried different cables? And finally I want to be sure you are plugging it into the full sized USB pert and not the micro USB.

i am using mac, not windows, my hdd connect fine to mac, how to do this on mac?
not only different cables, yesterday i went to an it mall, there i tried almost 5 different 500gb hdd 2.5 inch, all failed, all have fat32 format, cause i checked them on my mac beforehand
yeah, of course i connect it to the usb 2.0 port..
this is what i dont understand, everyones hdd work fine in the iconia, why my iconia just cant read?
mine don't work either. I have a 1 TB western digital hard drive.
i use ntfs mount,first time install that ntfs mount apk...cant read my hdd but aftter reboot my iconia all partition on hdd can read and walk normal like on my laptop
I'm in Jakarta, so I don't think it can be a rom thing. Are you using NTFS mount, or just trying to plug the HDD into your tab and use the built-in software? Try this and it should fix the problem.
Using StickMount with my N10 (stock OTA), And I've had no issues when using a flash drive with an OTG cable. However, I just got an Elago micro SD USB adapter (which is awesome!), used with the same OTG cable, but I'm having problems writing to USB storage. I've been using Solid Explorer to move / copy (neither works).
Yes, I'm rooted, and I already tried fixing permissions using RomManager. Any ideas, guys? Error screen attached.

I had a similar problem (saying permission denied even though I was rooted) with only one external harddrive I have. My others work, my sd cards in usb readers work, my stand alone flash drives work, but that one drive won't mount correctly for whatever reason. I tried formatting it with no luck.
My theory is it's some driver issue with the way that perticular drive is communicating (or not communicating, in this case) with the device.
You may be expereincing the same issue... I don't think it's a permissions issue, I think it's a hardware driver issue.
I've had some problems mounting an external HD. The problems might be different from what you're having but I've found a workaround that works for me. Hook it up to a computer and click safely remove hardware. Try again. It usually solves my problem.
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.

Tldr both drives are NTFS format.

Hey,
After I updated to latest kitkat NB2, my OTG storage stops working. It was workinf fine before update. And other functions still work fine like printer, USB headset mouse etc.
But only USB flash drives stop working. I get error message. SD card damaged try to format it. It even doesn't show up anywhere in any file manager how can I format lol. Same sticks work fine on my tab 3 10.
I use stickmount by chainfire. Everything stock and rooted.
Couln't find a fix for Note 3 by searching its forums.
Is this OS related bug or removed by samsung? Any kernels out there that have it back? Very important for me as my win 8.1 hates my Note 3 via cable. I always get pop up windows that I must close for hundred of times if device is connected for a while, manuelly.
Thank you

It is probably related to the new 4.4 security restrictions on storage, and maybe some of the solutions for that will fix this one too (I believe now there is also an xposed module).
Sd card fix didn't help OTG cable storage problem.
Is the module for SD card?
No one?
Till date i am also facing this issue. Though i can read the OTG from ES Explorer but it is readonly & unable to copy data to the OTG.
It's a shame. I bought my GN3 for OTG feature as a reason. Samsung should have kept this feature.
Hi
Somehow when i connect a 16GB USB stick to my note 3 via an OTG cable it shows
1. USB connector connected
2. USB mass storage connected
then immediately
3. USB mass storage removed safely
so i cannot see anything from my USB device connected via an OTG cable
for instance my 16GB sandisk USB stick is not mounted anymore
it used to work with 4.3.xxx but not with the latest update of 4.4.xxx
also Air Droid can't write anymore so it's useless
my USB stick is ntfs formatted, would that be an issue?
i have Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ installed but it says it has no root access, i have the stock rom and not rooted. it used to work with 4.3 but now with 4.4 it does not work any more
thank you

NTFS will not work on android. Format your usb to exFat or fat32, or read this
http://blogs.bu.edu/mhirsch/2013/12...r-sharing-usb-flash-thumb-drives-and-usb-hdd/
actually i cannot format my flash, it's full and i don't want to loose the data
thanks anyway
Erhm copy files to PC,format stick and copy back The files?
Respect!
thanks, that would work if i'd had a computer with me. i'm away from home and was hoping i can mount my usb stick. is there a solution that does not require root access?

Not that i know of.
You can try to install the USB Host Diagnostics and check what is happening, on this app the root is optional.
i have no doubt that the USB works but the ntfs file system cannot be mounted directly by the OS so it unmounts it immediately after connection.
so my question still remains, is there a way to mount an ntfs file system without having root access?
thanks
