hi i have external sata hdd i want to connect this to my z1 is it possible if yes please tell me how can i do this ?
Do you have a SATA HDD or an HDD with an eSATA Port?
If you have a SATA HDD you could try using an external USB Case and connect it over USB-OTG. If you have the latter it won't work without additional hardware (e.g. a Notebook with eSATA Port)

i have sata hdd with external usb case which i try to connect with my data cable but nothing happen any suggestions or any way to do that ?
It should work...
One questions first:
What Filesystem is present on that HDD? Preferable would be ExFAT. NTFS _could_ work, but i don't know that for sure.
Second:
After you've connected the HDD to your device via USB-OTG cable you should go to Settings --> Storage. Down at the bottom should be a point wich let's you mount your external USB device. After that, it should be available for r/w.

actually i tried with our data cable which we use for connect mobile to lappy not usb otg if it must usb otg i will buy new and try :good:
how'd you manage to do that? should'nt be possible through different genders on the connectors...
The only way i can imagine to connect those two devices without messing with the connector is a NAS-Storage. Those are Harddisks available from IP Networks (e.g. Western Digital MyBook).
Those devices have the proper port to connect your smartphone with itself. Well atleast physically.
Those ports on NASes are for output only (mainly). You can connect a printer to make the printer capable of networking. But connecting a smartphone on that port won't work since it isn't designed for such things. All you could do is mount your internal Storage as Mass Storage over USB (not MTP) and use your smartphone as network share. But browsing through the files on the HDD will still not work because of a lack of connection between the real harddisk and the usb port.
You must also connect an external.power source, the USB otg doesn't give enough cureemt to power ir up.

how to do that any idea ? please help
There are splitted USB cables one you can connect to power line like a computer or adaquate USB charger andthe other to the phone...

Free option is flashing doom kernel with boosted power output of the USB port. That COULD work, but it doesn't have to. Make sure you're using passive USB connectors that you're using. Ergo - it's just a regular USB cable and no additional software needs to be installed.
Try the USB otg helper from Google play too. It might also fix it.

I downloaded Nook Tweeks, enabled USB host mode and External vBus, but nothing happens when I connect a USB-stick via a micro ubs to usb converter.
Am I supposed to do something else? Or does the USB-stick have to be in some special format?

I got the same exact problem. It didn't seem to work at all.I think I'll have to order the adapter to see if the problem is the OTG cable or not

I ordered some cheap ones from DX, but since there are two of them and none of them works I'm assuming it's the Nook the problem is with.

It could be the USB-sticks are trying to draw too much power. The Nook host port will only supply low power USB devices (<100mA) and it is also best to have a fairly well charged battery. Some sticks work and others don't.
If you have a powered USB hub then this supplies the power so there is no problem. So try with a powered hub to at least see if that is the issue.

I used the same USB in this chart Nook Color USB HOST Device Compatibility List Sandisk Cruzer 8GB on CM7
I bought the Nook Color is to connect it to my camera via DSLRcontroller but so far still not successfully with USB stick.
Read my thread , it should answer most if not all your questions

I'm hoping to get some free time and update it this weekend with more info and probably a widget
I could never get usb host working on cm7. I have been trying to use RYC usb to control my Nikon Dslr . Once i switch over to CM9 beta it worked first time.

CM7 also shouldn't give you any trouble , as long as its FAT32 and you are using a hub
can you explain what exactly have you tried and provide logs?
I didnt use usb hub,just enable the usb host mode in Nook Tweak app and plug my usb via otg cable.

Then you didn't read good enough the thread or the chart..
You need an external hub ( powered or non-powered ) to work with the sandisk cruzer.
Thanks a lot, i ll order one and try it out.
I tried to connect with my camera but nothing happened,I guess I have to try with usb hub as well

Can I connect my 1TB Western Digital Ext HDD (USB powered) to my Note (GT-N7000, Stock 4.0.4 with Hydracore 5.4 Std)
I tried formatting one partition to FAT32 as well, but no luck..is it bcz of lack of power to the HDD to run?
Of course you can connect. Only your external hard drive in addition to using the USB connection must have a second source of electricity. USB connector on the phone is too inefficient.

Ok..but how can I do that? My Ext HDD is USB powered..is there any way I can provide the HDD with power supply, using some kind of cables/adapters or something?
If your external drive has no additional power outlet, then connect it to your phone is not possible. Attempts to various modifications may damage the phone.
You need a Y split USB cable, something similar to this:
http://compare.ebay.com.au/like/280750493818?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes
NOTE: that was just first USB cable I found using google, I'm not suggesting/related to that ebay seller in any way! Do your own research, you may be able to buy locally for cheaper.

Hmmm...so, it cannot be used as "portable" as a pendrive..as it needs external power (PC/Laptop OR some external battery)..so better option would be 64GB or higher pendrive (if needed desperately)
Bought 2 USB OTG cable a few days ago but I've been unable to get it work. The moment I plug it into my HTC One, a "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger" error. 2 different USB OTG cables, same error. Bought at different times after I couldnt get the first cable to work.
I'm having the exact same issue... I have 2 cables which both work with my Nexus 7 without any problems what's so ever. Does anyone know if there is an "official" cable from HTC or is there some kind cable standard which has to be adhered to, so it works?
I just got a cheap usb otg cable from eBay, works fine for me. What size drives are you trying to mount?

The Stock Kernel doesnt support NTFS or ExFat... u have to format to FAT32 to get otg to work...
Maybe there will be a kernel with ntfs or exfat support someday...

There can be problem with your pen drive. Cause i had lived the same problem. My sd card works in pc but not in phone. I tried using my mouse or another disc with OTG cable and they worked.
The stock HTC kernel has a whitelist that module blocks OTG access when a certain limit is reached like required voltage by the accessory in order to work. Custom kernel now has this disabled so you might want to check that if you want. But if you prefer stock kernel I suggest you guys look for low powered USB drives instead. Cable alone won't have any issues at all with compatibility.
The main issues are the filesystem type & the electrical current required by the USB drive or any device you want to use for OTG.
The charger notification is a bug and might get fixed soon by HTC but it won't have any effects on OTG itself. It's just the kernel mistakenly identify the OTG device as a charging mechanism.
one from amazon, and 2 from ebay, worked great on my HTC ONE S... and samsung galaxy s3, on my HTC ONE, the freeze up, lock up, i dont even try it anymore.
yeh, i also get the charging thing error...
i believe the one i bought also said for google nexus... i use 32gb...
How does that 4gb stick work is that like a usb flash drive you can use with the One?

Without any usb thumbdrives attached to the otg cable, the moment I connect the otg to my One, the error pops up. Later connecting the thumb drive to the cable does nothing. Es file explorer does not detect nor does mount usb drive light up (remains greyed out).
Tried connecting the usb drive first and then connecting both to my phone and does detect either. So yeah, I guess might have to buy another usb drive ?
i had the same problem, but....
I was very dissapointed because my htc one could not find the otg usb! I started deleting almost all downloaded software from my device and cleared cash! Then restarted my phone and... Voila! It works! To be honest, i didn't find out the problem, but it works!
Hello all, I just got this device free from my operator, SIM free, and I would like to share this particular aspect.
First of all make shure your X SP is fully charged and you are using a working USB OTG cable adapter (preferably tested on other devices).
1. USB pendrives, SD and microSD adapters. Xperia SP supports out of the box USB storage meaning pendrives and SD adapters like Sandisk Cruzer (some old 4GBmodel) and some Sandisk 32 GB microSD car in Sony Ericsson's IM 920 adapter. All of them formatted as FAT32.
Yes I've encountered fails but related exclusively to voltage (both pendrives and SD adapters). Dunno which will work for you, better try before you buy.
2. Yes it supports exFAT. FWs prior to ...2.254 do not. I've tested them all. I am specific to the aforementioned. exFAt meaning you can mount microSD cards 64+ gigs and virtually any filesizes, think of 8 GB .mkv files.
3. It hurts when it comes to HDDs. Before anything make sure your external HDD has also an external power supply. It means you have to see a wire leading to a wall socket which is being actually connected. Otherwise your phone or tablet will never be able to power by itself a HDD, be it 2.5 or 3.5 inch. Moving on, I found plugging in any externally powered HDD does nothing by itself.
In comes the trick. I own a Xperia LiveDock DK10 for the 2011 range. It's externally powered and also has an USB OTG input. It helped me before with each pendrive which didn't work by itself when plugged in the USB OTG cable alone. Powering the dock supplied the energy the setup was lacking.
Since the most of you will find the dock redundant or missing from stocks I am glad to inform you all that some USB hub that was lying around, branded Manhattan, with external power supply, did exactly that job.
Here are some examples:
Toshiba 500 GB HDD FAT32 file format, 2.5" form factor, IcyBox enclosure, separate power supply, plugged in the 1st port of a Manhattan USB Hub, power supply powered in, mini USB output plugged in USB OTG adapter in Sony Xperia SP, fully charged. Played 1080p mkvs smoothly.
1500 GB Seagate/Samsung, 2000 GB Hitachi NTFS formatted 3.5 HDDs in powered racks, externally powered Manhattan USB hub, USB OTG cable, Xperia SP rooted, installed Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ and Paragon USB plugin for Total Commander, full size drive fully accesible.
..............................
Also Sony Nex camera, 64GB exFAT SD card inside, connected only with USB OTG cable on Xperia SP - working.
Thanks, u have photos?

Good info! :thumbup:
Basically I decided to use my 1TB exFAT formatted HDD with my Z3C. I have a OTG cable and if the power supplied isnt enough I can hook up my external battery via the magnetic charging port on the side. However, when I connect it, the HDD fails to spin up and I can't mount it. Will I need to root the phone in order to mount it with an app or is there some kind of problem with the set-up.

You should be using a powered USB OTG cable or putting a powered USB hub to use any higher draw device like a HDD from a phone.
