I bought an official samsung accessory today (the microusb to female usb connector) and tried it out on the Note - when connected a notification pops, and even media scanner runs, but it's no where to be seen under usbstorage?
I tried the same thing on a SGS2 and it works fine.
If the media scanner runs, it should be mounted and appear at:
/sdcard/usbstorage/sda
I assume you are trying a USB stick that's formatted as FAT32. If you are connecting a hard drive, you may find that you have to use an external power supply for the hard disk drive.
i got an unofficial adaptor. 1st time I tried it, I got the connection status bar info & media scan but usbstorage/sda folder was present but empty (with a FAT32 flash drive that had several files & folders).
I disconnected then reconnected and my files showed up OK. It has worked consistantly thereafter.

Hi guys,
When I connect a card reader/USB flash memory to the USB-port on the connected 4-in-1 cable, how to access these memories?
I also have an external hard disk, which has its own power supply (so no "too less power" issue), but the Athena doesn't do anything with it.
Do these attached memories need to appear as Storage drives in the file explorer?
Thanks.
I received my 4in1 cable yesterday and I found that it recognize hard drive randomly. I mean that not all USB memory are accepted by system. First of all it accepts only low voltage ones and not all are recognized. About mouse host...it recognize mouse but it's unable to show pointer, even with some drivers found on the this forum that should enable it...
So I would like to know what kind of commercial policy is this??? HTC says that with this cable and device you can host HD, mouse...but it's all pretentious, because to use it properly it's really hard!!!
I'm quite disappointed!
Again: when an USB storage device is connected, assuming it's a low voltage device, WHERE to access the memory??
It's an old thread, but what the hell. Plug your USB memory into your 4 in 1 cable. Use file explorer, go to "My Device" where you will see MicroDrive listed. Further down you will see "Hard Disk". That's it.
Thank you, this solves my problem.

mouse pointer works fine with me. Are you using wm6?
I don't think it's just a voltage issue with USB host on the x7500 - I just don't think it can cope with reading from large storage devices. Mine reads 1 gb and 2gb sticks fine. It also reads my 4gb and 8gb sticks but I experience drop-outs and slowdowns with the higher capacity sticks.
I should imagine that a 200gb HDD would send the x7500 loopy. Besides which I don't see the point in having a pocket pc with a mains connected hard drive wired to it. Might as well use a laptop as that would be more portable.
All of a sudden My phone does not show USB icon when connected to ANY PC..Phone beeps and battery charges but no USb in Mass Storage....The PCs are not getting an indication of an external drive...
Nothing I have done will make this work. It worked before in fact I downloaded the Mini Keys and loaed the JH7 FW. Now it won;t even "see" the phone with different cables.
It had worked fine........I even did a recovery but not a factory reset yet.
I know people are having issue connecting but have not found a thread where the phone will charge but will not indicate a USB connection on any PC. If it did that I could mount the SD cards.
Hello all,
A family member has recently bought a Philips dvd/media player (mcd122) that supports input via a USB device. USB drives formatted to FAT32 work fine with MP3 files, however I can't get my Galaxy S (with CM7) to work, even when turning on USB mass storage. It does read the USB device, but then reports "NO USB".
Is this problem related to the Galaxy, or to the media player itself?
Regards,
Quipeace
I guess that is because the phone is a composite USB device which the player cannot read...
It's a composite USB device even when having mass storage enabled? I've tried going into Clockwork and selecting mount USB from there, but still the same thing.
According to the manual it's supposed to work with USB cardreaders as well, I don't see why the galaxy wouldn't work.
Is there a way to ony share the SDcard and nothing else in case it really is a composite device?
I'm considering to add a powered hub to my Hui because i want to connect a usb flash drive, a dab dongle, a hard disk and maybe a wifi dongle and i want to charge my cellphone.
Right now i have an unpowered USB hub connected to my usb storage port 1. When i connect 2 usb sticks to the hub only one is detected in android, when i also connect my dab dongle, my dongle works. When i remove the USB sitck which is not working and i plug it in my USB 2 storage its also not found ( in root explorer a white icon appears before the name "usb_storage2").
Can some one explain me why the USB storage devices are not mounted / found in android? Is it even possible to add more than 2 storage devices or USB devices to our Hui? Or do i have to mount a third USB storage device manually?? Or is it because o the less of power??
I don't think android currently supports more then one USB data device. I know there are workarounds but I have not tried any. Most of these devices come with at least one sd slot so I think most (myself included) just live with the one usb limit.
Hello, i've bought a galaxy note 5 a week ago. N920C, international version, Marshmallow 6.0.1, not rooted. I was able to get a 32gb variant only, i though that's not a problem, i will increase my storage via USB OTG with Micro SD card reader or USB Flash stick! Today i received all the parts, i've spent whole day trying to find out why it doesn't work, i've downloaded many apps to check OTG compatibility and driver condition. My device recognises the connection when i put in USB OTG cable only - when the screen is off, i connect OTG, screen lights up. Also throubleshooting apps say the same, the device knows when OTG is connected.
The occuring problem : when my phone is connected with OTG cable, i also connect my USB Flash stick / SD card reader / mouse / keyboard / another usb flash stick --> Nothing appears on the screen, file managers show nothing and the troubleshooter stops at recognised OTG cable. Other connection tests won't pass any further. Troubleshooter conclusion - "System NOT Detect USB OTG Signal"; (App name: USB OTG Checker).
After buying a decent high-end device i expect it to have availability to expand storage space via USB OTG, although it was written in phone's specification list. 90% of note 5 devices on the internet say it is working perfectly and i would like to get mine going too :|
