USB OTG - Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't tried to connect a flash drive to my Mi3 yet. Just want to know how it's done and do I need an app or something? I also want to try connecting my 1t external hard disk, is it possible? how?
Thanks!

Yes, it's possible to connect flash drive and it works perfectly with MIUI file manager. But if you want to connect external drive you will need charging cable for drive. And MHL cable (MicroUSB -> HDMI) not working here (It makes me unhappy).

Hardware issue with either USB-cable, or the USB-ports on the phone or pc.
Did you try another cable and/or USB-port on your pc?

Thank for your answer, but my device charge very good, I tried another 2 PC (1 laptop, 1 desktop) and many USB cable, but same same. If I use connnect by sync, it is very good. I don't understand.
If it does the same on 3 pc's and with different USB cables I would say there is something wrong with the USB port on your phone, even though you have no problems charging.

Cannot get P1000 to host USB

I have an OTG cable, specifically for the P1000, and a simple USB stick will not mount.
I also am trying to mount a USB 3 drive, so not sure if that won't work because of drivers or lack-thereof.
I have a y-cable for the USB 3 drive, and it still will not mount.
I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 running Android 4.2.2
Any suggestions?

Used USB host fix now I cant connect via OTG cable

I was trying the new version of stickmount to see if I could use it to mount my ntfs drive and was trying out workarounds when I came across a post recommending the use of usb host fix. I ran the app, restarted as directed and voila! Now nothing shows up when I connect my otg cable. I've tried my fat32 hdd which was working fine and a card reader and nothing!
I'd moved from 4.1.2 to the stock german 4.3 rom on my rooted I9305 and paragon's ntfs app would no longer mount my drive so I decided I'd check to see if there was anything else I could do before wiping 900gb's of data and formatting it to fat32. Now I wish I had!
I've contacted the dev and tried chainfire's usb diagnostic app as well as usb host controller - which stated S3C usb host driver not found.
Please let me know your suggestions as I desperately need to be able to connect via my otg cable - my phone has taken the place of my netbook when i travel so that I can backup my photo's and transfer music and movies from my hdd's to the phone. I'm heading out to South America and REALLY need this function back!

cm 11 jcsullins otg problem

i cant connect to my hard disk with touchpad. İ have otg cable but it doesnt see my hard disk . please help . i want to see hard disk with my hp touchpad
You will need to connect to a PC to transfer files. I've never heard of connecting a drive directly. I don't think the USB port is powered!

A. Don't use an otg cable, use a standard micro usb
B. In order to have the PC recognize the TP, you have to Novacom usb drivers installed
C. You can connect many usb devices, including hard disks, but you may need a powered usb hub since the TP doesn't provide enough power to drive many of them

Stickmount
OTG works out of the box. I've used a USB audio adapter, a USB ethernet adapter, and a USB memory stick.
I had to install another app to mount the USB storage though. I used Nexus Media Importer; works a treat.
perfect, thx everybody.
Waitting for a kernell that will be able to work with usb otg without any app, but now with root no problems
