I just installed latest update to Android 5.0 and yesterday I received an OTG USB Hub and card reader. It works flawlessly on my LG G2 but when I plug it in the TAB 4 (SM-T535) it doesn't work at all.
I read somewhere that OTG was disabled on the Tab 4. Is that true and is there any custom rom that can enable it?
A,
hi, OTA's are like a box of chocolates, xD
it's more likely the ota killed otg functions, probably kernel/boot.img
look up how to dump your boot.img and upload it and link to me to it.
Also give me a listing of /system/lib/modules/
m
Well then. I will upload the listing. I have rooted the device and running CM 12.1 but still the same - I plug in the usb hub , the power LED on it flashes and that's it. The hub works perfeclty on my LG G2

A,
the boot.img you linked me to is either damaged during upload or dumped incorrectly. Try again by using either dd command
or by coying boot.img from your cwm backup directory.
if the partitioning scheme holds true your boot.img should live on dev/block/mmcblk0p14 so the dd command to dump a copy to /sdcard would be
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/sm-t535-boot.img

I thought it should be mmcblk0p1, I guess I was wrong. There you go.

A,
okay, from default.prop
persist.sys.isUsbOtgEnabled=true
the device you are trying to connect for otg functionality is it powered? [blinky lights]
can you test a mouse or keyboard with a "regular" no frills usb-otg cable?
m
I don't have an usb-otg cable. The usb hub I'm using blinks just once when I plug it in my tablet and that's it. The same device works flawlessly on my LG G2 - the power led stays on.

Ahh, well get hold of a "regular" usb-otg cable from somewhere. The device you are trying to use apparently does pickup but can't be supported most like by the port itself. Samsung and LG are two completely different creatures in the feature department.
Quick question, mtp functions correctly?
m
Well, I'm going to have to order one... Mtp functions correctly, if by that you mean images and files transfer when connected via USB to my PC ... I'm going to get rid of that Samsung and never get another thing from them again...

Yeah i understand completely, it's a good thing i'm so lo class, my tabs [sm-t330nu sm-t530nu] have been a step up! xD
It's kind of wierd that even the simplest things need to be ordered. You can go to you nearest Shmaples or Guest-Buy and get one of those
dual end flippy thumb drive whatchamacallit doohickeys and that would fit the bill, they have a standard usb connect on one side and usb 2.0/microusb on the other.
i have a usb drive with the blinky light thing but connect it with a standard issue otg cable and have no issues. But definitely thanks for the heads up, i wanted to get one of those usb-steroid hubs, but if i can expect the same results your getting, then i'll skip it.

I live in Bulgaria - it's much cheaper to order those from ebay here. I haven't seen those in the local stores - only online ones, but their prices are ridiculous.

this is the one i have, it's 32 gigs and has been a totally worth it 15.35 us $

Don't get caught up in brand names either, it's just a usb drive with two connection options.

I have root my nexus 7 and also checked it has been rooted with a root check.
Now am trying to pick up a usb stick but stick mount wont pick it up, i dont have a ogt cable but a female to female usb adapter, will this work or do i need the otg cable.
Thanks
i just checked in superSU i dont see stick mount in it only see titanium backup and root checker
I think you must have an OTG-usb cable to read external drives.
You must need an OTG cable. GND and Sense are shorted in an OTG cable but when you are using an femel to femel converter GND or Sense(I don't remember which one) is open so this is not gonna work. You can cut the micro USB's plastic cover and short them to make it working as a OTG. Do on your own risk.

Which rom do you use, Stock or Custom ?
If it's the Stock rom, just install [root] StickMount apk
If it's a custom rom, which kernel ?
Maybe your kernel have some problem, try a another for seeing what's happen, and you can use Stickmount apk also
and you need to use an OTG adapter or cable
You can use Nexus Media Importer even with stock non-rooted device, but you have to use otg adapter or cable, they are really cheap, about 1,5 or 2 USD, so it isn' really big deal. Cheers!

Non of this is gonna work as he is using the wrong adaptor as I mentioned before. Female to Female adaptor doesn't get the job done for an otg cable.
So i recently ordered a new Usb Charging Port & Mic (Microphone) Flex Cable from china for my nexus 4 because the usb function was not working, it doesn't even get recognized on the computer, tried several computers/cables still no usb connection ( even in fastboot). i replaced it yesterday and i still get zero connection to any computer trough the usb cables, what could have gone wrong in my phone for this to happen?

Are you using the cable that came with the phone, use usb 2.0 ports, not 3.0. And try different usb ports, the ones on the back of the pc not the front. That's all I can think of

What I have tried:
Using 3 different cables, all works with other phones.
Using other computers both Windows and Mac.
Tried both Fastboot mode and adb sideload in recovery
Replaced the whole usb flex cable inside the phone
Installing a bunch of drivers adb/usb
still nothing, no connection whatsoever even with the BRAND NEW usb flex cable
I can't seem to get any USB drives working using my USB OTG cable. I have searched on Google and on XDA and everyone else seems to be able t use USB OTG with a Note 3. Why can't I?
My cable is a generic USB OTG cable. It does work because the USB stick lights up blue for a few seconds but then goes off. Also it worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with these same USB sticks.
Is this an issue with Note 3 and generic USB OTG?
Details
Device: SM-N9005
Rom: X-Note V21
I have tried using:
Stock Kernel
AEL Kernel
LeanKernel
Ultimate Kernel
With the following software:
Paragon NTFS&HFS+
NTFS Mounter
USB OTG Helper
With USB sticks of the following configuration:
32GB Transcend USB 2.0 in NTFS
16GB Kingston DT101 G2 in FAT32
1GB Kingston in FAT32
Please help?
Edit:
My phone does say "USB Connector Connected" when I plug in the USB OTG connector, with or without a USB stick in it.
Edit 2:
I ended up buying this hoping it would help: USB 3.0 OTG
I haven't tried OTG on Note 3 but on my previous phone (Moto X) I was having the same problem as well. Then I found that the Linux permission has to be Enforcing but Permissive to make it work (by default it's permissive I think), now I honestly don't remember how I did that, but a little more Google search might mention something.

Not sure what you mean. enforcing but permissive? SELinux is either enforcing or permissive. On stock kernel it is usually enforcing. On these custom kernels I have used, it is permissive. I will try again on stock kernel to check my sanity but I believe it will not work.

As stated in my post, two of the drives are already in FAT32, however I will now try stock kernel and see if it works.
Edit:
Stock NJ2 kernel, NTFS and FAT32 USB drives don't work.
Hi. Have you tried by flashing Stock firmware using ODIN. ?
Try this:
Hard reset cellphone from recovery.
Install Official Samsung Stock firmware (check for CSC support for your cellphone) using ODIN.

Would this actually help? My ROM is pretty much stock anyway with added extra bits. It makes me think it is the type of cable I am using.
The cable I am using is like this:

and I think I need one like I posted above.
@danieljamie
I don't think so it's the cable issue.
Bcoz I have used that cable on my N9005 and it works fine.
I guess you should by hard resetting and flashing Stock firmware.

The problem WAS the cable. I bought that cable I linked to. All my drives work now.
When I connect my Z1 to my PC via USB, it does not mount as a drive. It doesn't matter if I choose mass storage or media device. ADB on or off also doens't matter. I think this started when I recently flashed my phone with TWRP and YOG4PAS3OH update. Tried different cables, different USB ports, checked the drivers, seems OK, see picture. Checked windows management if I had to assign a drive letter, but no Z1 there either...

My Laptop was missing some drivers (and is still missing coz i haven't installed any other). I copied CM 13 files by connecting my phone to another laptop. You can try that. Also, if u have TWRP try mounting the device after connecting it to the laptop.
I've been trying to simply transfer some files between my Windows 7 computer and my S8 without success. Yes, I know all the steps, download the USB drivers, install them, connect the S8, tap transfer files on the icon that appears and go ahead. When I connect the S8 it immediately begins to charge the phone. When I tap on the icon it simply says that I can charge if faster if I connect to a USB3 port, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get into transfer files mode. I eventually copied the files to a USB stick and then from the USB stick to the S8 but surely it's possible to do this with a simple direct connection as it has been on all the other phones I've had. Anyone know how to do this simple task?

On G950F Exynos version.
I get the same error message and have done all the usual but Win 7 will NOT connect me prioperly to allow file transfer.
I was offered an update (circa 200MB) and that didn't help it either.
Linux on the other hand does it just fine, but I'd like to get the Win version working. MTP driver always shows as not successful.

Try connecting the phone to a USB 2 Port at the back of your CPU.
It never worked for me as long as I used a USB 3 Port.

I installed Smart Switch to get the drivers but didn't go much further as had to head out. Just tried it now and SS doesn't connect - it recognuses there's a device but just sits on the 'Connect' dialog.
Finally...
Go to Settings>Connections and turn Phone visibility On.
