I just got the usb adapter and it work fine with a mouse or keyboard. The problem is I didn’t get it for that. I got it to plug in an external usb drive and for that it is useless. I have tried no less than five different usb drives and the tab sees them as a usb drive but I can’t read or write to them. They are all Fat 32 and under 32gb. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Or is there something wrong with the adapter?
Thanks.
I'm able to transfer files with no issues at the moment.
I had success by using a file manager app I got from the market, then navigate to /usbStorage/sda

Make sure to be working in sd card usb area because if you look in the regular usb area it does not show up
If the drive is a spinning harddrive you need to use a powered hub. Plug the external drive into the powered hub, then plug the hub into the usb adapter. Then plug the adapter into the tablet. I hope this helps you.

Hi people,
I read in a review that you can connect an external hard drive to the nexus 7 (the usb powered ones) via a USB Host Cable.
Could any of you tell me if this is correct or not? As i have an Archos 80 g9 and i know it cant do it off the micro usb only the USB 2.0 slot it has.
Thanks a lot for the help

Yes, it is possible but you may need to provide external power to the drive. Use a powered usb hub or something like that. The Nexus 7 most likely won't be able to output enough current to power a spinning drive.
Ah ok, so you are saying that you plug the usb host connection from the nexus to the usb hub and plug the hard drive in to another port on the hub?
I just want to know if this works as 16GB isnt much space when you want to take it on a trap to watch films.
cheers
you need to be rooted. my understanding is flash drives or micro sdcards are good to go, not sure an external hd will work unless powered as previous poster alluded

Since N7's have been out for a few days, has anyone tried hooking up a portable hdd using a micro otg cable? I could plug my portable Toshiba hdd into my Acer A500 tablet without rooting and it would read the contents of the drive just fine. I would watch movies and view pictures as if it were an sd card. Wondered if the N7 unrooted could do the same?

No it does not mount the external storage nor does it have an option to do so. You need to root and install chainfire's stickmount app for this to work.

Hi. I decided to use a wireless drive to store all of my music, movies and documents. So, I purchased the Seagate GoFlex Satellite Mobile Wireless Storage. You can use with Android or IOS devices. I love it.
Yes, its a no-go out-of-the box connecting to a USB thumb drive or a powered HD with a microUSB OTG cable. This doesn't really surprise me, though, because they would need to dynamically detect the device type and mount it on the system. What I haven't tried is a USB keyboard. Anybody do that?

yes could u test it out? i was thinking of buying a portable hard drive but not sure if it will have enough power to use it
does usb 3.0 work? or do i need to buy a usb 2.0
I've tested mine with an old 60GB WD Passport and a new 500GB Freecom XXS. Both are 2.5" USB powered external HDDs, and both worked fine.

great thanks for the info. btw is the new one using usb 3.0 or 2.0? do u know if usb 3.0 will work?
I just plugged in a full-sized USB keyboard using my OTG cable and it works fine. I can touch type, use the cursor keys including ctrl+arrows to skip words, bring up menus with the context menu key just to the left of the right-hand ctrl key, etc, etc. I'm sure it must be using up my battery at a faster rate, though.
Edit: It's just occurred to me that there's a problem with using a USB keyboard to type when the N7 is in portrait mode: finding a stand to hold the tablet upright at the right angle when the USB-OTG cable is sticking out of the USB port at the bottom of the tablet.
Mind you, it's great being able to type at full speed without a soft keyboard hiding a large chunk of the screen.

You can get OTG cables with a right angled micro-USB plug on them, which might help your stand problem. I have one on its way as I was concerned about knocking/bending/snapping the straight plug when its sat on my lap in portrait mode.

Or, just turn the tablet upside down so the cable is pointing up. The display will rotate appropriately.
I think but not sure that you'll want cm10 for the rotate from any angle thing...

how did you manage it ??did you use nexus media importer
Without a custom kernel, the external hdd won't work with Stickmount or NMI if it is formatted NTFS. I haven't actually used NMI, but others have posted about the NTFS issue.
I've used a SONY GoogleTV (with Bluray) to play media files (mkv, avi, mp4, etc) through ViMu app. Two 128 GB thumb drives stayed connected to the USB ports in the back of the unit at all times for kids' movies, while I utilized the front USB port once in a while to connect a WD 1TB portable external HD to watch movies.
Now, we moved to FireTV and I’d like to carry over the same setup through XBMC and StickMount. Obviously, having only 1 USB port limits this. I tried connecting a USB hub (non-powered, “mobile”); although the thumb drive worked fine, the external HD wasn’t powered. Looks like I’ll need a powered USB hub to be able to connect what I listed above.
Is there a particular one that works better with the FireTV?
Can StickMount handle mounting 2-3 USB drives and an external hard drive simultaneously? When it's time to unmount the external HD, will I be able to pick that specifically or "unmount" will get rid of thumb drives as well?
Thanks!

hi,
yes it is working perfectly.
here is what i bought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131220799541
I have tested it with 3 HDD's attached
> 1TB portable (FAT32 formatted)
> 1TB portable (NTFS formatted)
> 2TB portable (NTFS formatted)
All plugged in at once and i could navigate them fully and play files. I tested a 7GB MKV on each and all played perfectly.
1 Downside:
The Amazon Fire TV fails to boot if the powered USB is plugged in on startup (hangs at amazon white logo)
I have heard someone else mention this also, would love a solution to this as they will then get mounted by stickmount automatically.
Currently got to boot without USB hub > connect hub > mount via stickmount.
Hope this helps

I don't use stickmount ([url="http://www.jocala.com/adbfire.html]adbFire[/url] uses its own disk mounting solution), but my powered Dlink hub does not interfere with the FireTV boot up. That's with 3 drives attached.

Thanks for the update. I suspected it will do that. I have the same problem when I want to boot from a powered hub. I can boot from the ssd plugged in directly in the aftv usb port, but not via hub.
The problem is I cannot plug in any other usb device like a keyboard or mouse or even my usb receiver. It's a pity the aftv does not allow any other bluetooth keyboard or mouse connected to it.
Maybe one of the guys can look into it to get a drive to be booted from a powered usb hub

can you link me to the hub you have? would like something i can keep plugged in and will boot up.
Also with the adbfire method, you still have to mount on every reboot with it right?

No. You can set your boot as persistent so you don't have to remount.
My Dlink is a few years old. I don't see it listed, only newer models.

Thanks for your reply. Could you please provide the details of the adb mount method? Apologies, if it's a basic question... still new to AFTV.
I purchased a powered USB 2.0 hub to test things out. The connected USB sticks and the WD portable HD work great with the hub. Using StickMount, they're loaded at the time of boot, and when I pick Unmount to remove the WD HD, upon pulling the USB cable of the HD, USB sticks remain mounted (don't need to hit mount again).
With this particular powered hub FireTV boots fine when it's connected; seems like certain powered hubs block the boot sequence. I tried the boot sequence with just the USB sticks and USB sticks + WD HD, and it booted fine each time.
The only issue I have is that when I "map" the external drives, I give them names and they're listed under video sources. Unfortunately, StickMount doesn't load them in the same order every time, and the shortcuts point to invalid paths when there are more than one USB sources attached. I can create a root "USB" shortcut that lists all the sources and I can navigate to each drive, but that makes the process complicated for grandparents and kids. If there's a more "permanent" way to mount the attached drives (adb may be?), I'd like to try that.
Thanks!

adbFire provides two different ways to mount your drives and sticks: standard, by device name (/dev/block/sda1, etc) and by the drive's UUID, a unique identifier that each drive stick is given when formatted. Mounting by UUID guarantees that each drive is always mounted at the same mount point.
adbFire creates a script that is automatically run at boot to mount your drives. It uses the busybox run-parts command to run scripts which it places in /etc/init.d. It handles drives formatted with EXT?, ExFat, NTFS and VFAT. UUID is a work in progress, just introduced in the current version, v1.14.
adbFire has a topic here in the xda Fire TV forum. Feel free to ask further questions there.
just EXT?
so atm i cant mount my NTFS and FAT32 drives with that method?

Look again. EXT2/3/4 NTFS,ExFAT and VFAT.
In my case I only have my external usb 3 ssd that I connect., which means there is no need to give it any priority. I have moved all the AFTV storage to the ssd and boot up from it. All I need is a usb 3 hub that is compatible with the external to boot my AFTV up. I can then connect anything else to the usb hub.
So frustrated, got a powered usb hub and connected 2TB HDD and its turned out a fail. XBMC freezes up / stickmount takes forever and sometimes not at all.
Got the fire tv mainly to play back my movie collection but seems it wont be done so easily.
I exchanged the 4 port hub with a 7 port hub and filled up all the ports with USB sticks and hard drives. FireTV boots while the hub and all the drives are connected, and everything works fine. If you don't need a USB 3.0 hub for other things down the road, you might want to give this one a try.

Thanks for the links... Will keep an eye out for them for BlackFriday. Since I am on the market for 3 ( 3 FTV's ). I was leaning on getting 3 Transcend TS-HUB3K Powered USB 3.0 - 4 Port Hub's But is not like the AFTV's will ever need USB 3.0. The price on the 7 port hub should cut my per unit price by half after coupons... Wonder how low can they go..
has anyone used a powered HDD with the fire tv directly? e.g a 4TB seagate
i would assume they would not need a powered hubbut not sure
Really frustrated as i have 2 portable HDD and both experience freezing and buffering with movie playback from them. I sometimes have to reboot the AFTV just to stop the freezing. I got a fire TV to replace a WD HDTV live as i was getting freezing on there and it seems to be still happening :/
Please post here the HDDs you use that play files perfectly.
Thanks
Ok guys. I've been messing around for some long time using 4.3 rom and my 2tb passport but with no luck reading (or writing from it). I was under impression that phone has to be rooted for reading only NTFS format but....this is fairy tales if you ask me. Recently I upgraded to latest kitekat available and rooted but still no access to my drive. I tried 3 usb sticks (8,16,64) with no problem using FAT format.
I used paragon, stickmount but nothing helped me to work this out. I'm also having second doubt would I have more luck with exFAT format?
Anyone had similar problems connecting 2tb drive to their Note 3? And disk is spinning I'm positive it has enough usb power.
The phone can only support up to 1tb due to power restriction.
The only way that i managed to get a WD 2Tb drive to work with my phone/tablet was to use a powerbank. The phone doesn't give enough power out to start the drive up.
You need :
- 1 powerbank (the bigger the better, as it will also charge your phone/tablet)
- 1 USB Hub + OTG cable (or an USB Hub that can be used as OTG with the phone)
- 1 male-to-male cable
- the phone
- the external HDD
Connect to the USB hub the HDD using the cable suplied with it, connect using the male-to-male cable the powerbank to the USB hub and then connect the USB hub to the phone using the OTG cable (or if you have an OTG cable with USB hub integrated then it's even better).
Now, the powerbank will give power to all devices connected to the USB hub (the HDD and the phone), so it should work OK.
After that you will need to solve the NTFS reading/writing, for that you should be able to use the app you already mentioned.
P.S. when i was playing on the Tab2 with the above configuration, I also had to put an usb stick in the USB hub. For some reason the tablet didn't detect the HDD on the hub unless there was an USB stick too (never understood why). I don't remember having the same problem with the Note3, but i didn't test extensively so your mileage may vary.
Edit : an example of OTG adapter with integrated USB hub for Note 3 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB3-...-TF-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-N9000-/171300593212
Thanks for reply verszipo I was looking at this cable, hoping this could power up the drive while phone continues to operate itself without additional power. So Is it possible to have power supplied directly over wall plug instead of power bank?
This USB hub seams like nice idea.
Theoretically connecting like you suggested should work even if I leave disk in NTFS format using tools I mentioned before?

If external hdd is larger than 1 TB,
Use usb "Y" cable to add external power source to connection.
Hey!
I use 1.5TB HDD with mu N3 and it is NTFS...
Why cant you use USB hub with external power supply (try to find out if it is 1A or 2A? bigger = better), and at phone install total commander with plugin USB plugin for Total Commander (no root requided!!)...
I use a 2tb wd passport. No need for external power source. I use paragon to read and write to ntfs partition. My drive gets detected within a few seconds but takes several minutes to mount the drive. Maybe you just need to wait. I know my drive is mounted when the My Files app launches by itself and shows the drive contents.
I received my Y cable hoping extra juice could solve my problems but I have no luck at all. No matter what I use I can't make my drive read. I don't have any options to choose.
Maybe I should format my drive using different allocation size unit, I never formated it and it's not 4 months old. Maybe my phone has some crappy cache leftovers so I should use cleaner? Hell I don't know what to do anymore. Usb sticks are working fine all the way.
Ok update on topic. I mange to make it work. I formated to NTFS with default allocation size, nothing special. Using paragon + total commander plugin + total commander. Works fine now WITHOUT additional power. Only downside is that mobile battery drains way too fast when you connect storage on it. It does not matter if I plug in additional supply to drive or not, draining is the same. Anyone noticed this and any workaround for this.
Thank you guys for suggestions.
I mounted my CN memory usb3.0 3tb drive with paragon in my rooted sm n9005
It mounted fine to a folder in my int SD, and i copied ober 20gb of data

At the top of the screen from the notification area, it showed USB icon and you can click on it to see files.
I didn't found solution for my problem, and i think there is no need to open new topic, but if you know - help me!
From purchase my H870I had a problem with USB OTG.
When memory card micro SD is inserted and mounted, everything is working properly.
When I connect USB OTG USB adapter with USB flash drive, or USB OTG memory card reader, then in notification area is "Android System - Reading USB Drive" all time.
In System settings - storage
is the information about internal memory and and memory card capacity and usage, and "USB Drive - checking"
In that state a cannot access any file on memory card. For example I can see photos and albums, but after opening one of them there is icon, that file is corrupted.
I need to reboot phone to memory card work properly again.
To see files on USB OTG device i need to unmount memory card in settings, and then plug USB OTG. After unplugging USB OTG I must mount memory card again.
Did you have a similar problem? I must say, that back to factory state, and oreo update (also last ThinQ update) didn't resolve my problem. Do you have any solution? Can you give your ideas to resolve this problem?
I'd try a second usb flash drive. If you get the same hanging issue, I'd expect it's something bad with your usb otg adapter. Sometimes an adapter might work okay with one phone, but be kind of on the hairy edge and not work with a second phone.
I use the anker usb c to usb otg adapter a lot with my g6, since I first got it over a year ago. I do transfers to multiple flash drives.
Good luck!
I tried a different USB card reader, and it's working perfectly. Thanks for help!
