is OTG supposed to work with the resurrection remix rom on this tablet?
i got a cheap OTG adapter from aliexpress and when i try to use it with a formatted FAT32 thumb drive android will detect the drive and ask if i want to open ES file explorer but when i try to read the drive there is nothing showing up in there, i put some .jpg and .png files on it and they don't show up so am i doing something wrong? is it my cheap adapter that is faulty or does it just not work on this tablet with this rom?
i tried ES and some other file explorer that was installed with the pico gapps i installed i assume and it shows a usb drive but it is always empty , i never used OTG before BTW so i have no idea what i am doing

i used to be able to connect my flash drive directly to the device and browse files using es file explorer
kingston 64gb dual usb 2.0
but now it doesnt work and only works if i connect the supplied otg cable which defeats the purpose of why i bought the flash drive
now i know according to the kingston website my device isnt listed, but it used to work
is there anything i can do to fix this? is there something stopping it from working e..g app?
Hey,
My phone is gt-19295 with 5.0.1 Android
And my external Hdd is WD 500gb my passport.
I bought a otg cable , and connected the hdd with my phone and used paragon software to mount the drives since it's NTFS.
The problem here , that I can explore files and copy them and open images,
But I'm not able to play videos and songs directly from the hdd!!!!
I have to copy them to my phone first!!
I'm so confused , I thought it could be permissions issue , I checked with root explorer and es explorer the files got all the permissions!!!
I thought the directory could be unreadable by the video or audio player,but I tried to copy the directory and paste it in video stream ,it didn't work either!!
Any one have any idea?!
Thanks Professionals.
I recently purchased a 64GB USB/OTG combo flash drive, but having trouble using it as my backup drive for Titanium Backup.
Currently on Nexus 6 CM13 nightly 20160412. The phone actually mounts the USB without the help of Stickmount, and is visible to both the Android system AND ES File Explorer, but it just can't be seen by Titanium Backup. Anyone have a solution? I've tried with and without Stickmount, but Stickmount actually doesn't seem to make any difference in anything.
And actually, now that I try, it won't mount on TWRP either. It's formatted NTFS. Unfortunately my computer is on Windows 10 and will only format in NTFS or exFAT and my phone/ES File Explorer wouldn't even recognize the OTG Flash drive when it was formatted in exFAT.
I'm sure SOMEONE is using otg usb to backup TWRP and TiBu, right? What's your setup? Thanks!
OK, so got USB OTG to work with TWRP by formatting my USB OTG flash drive to FAT32. This was difficult because it's not an option in Windows 10... only exFAT and NTFS, neither of which worked in TWRP. I had to download the following program to format my drive to FAT32:

Still trying to get the drive to be seen by TiBu though... can't find it anywhere... =/
Ah hah... I got it... so after much fumbling around, I have my drive formatted in FAT32, StickMount is NOT needed with Marshmallow. You go to TiBu, Menu, Preferences, Backup folder location, and click on "Storage provider" and change to "DocumentProvider storage". From there, you need to click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner that say "Show Internal Memory" and then, for some reason, the USB OTG drive pops up... select that, and then TiBu can backup to the external flash drive. Not so straightforward. Hope this helps someone else.
Good morning, I would like to know if with this tablet I can use a 64gb or higher USB stick, and which format? (Fat32, exfat, NTFS)?
Thanks
OTG works fine on S2.
I have used a 128 GB stick with no problem and Micro SD up to 200 GB both internally and via OTG also no problems.

Thank you, which format are your SD and USB otg? Exfat, NTFS, fat32?
If you want to read and write to a NTFS drive (I've tested it with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB USB stick and a Western Digital 1.5 TB Elements drive) use:
Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter
And a file explorer such as Root Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Other file explorers may work (they probably need root permissions), but the Samsung default file explorer doesn't "see" the connected USB drive.
Yeah I know those programmes, but at the beginning I wouldn't like to root my device. What I want to know is which kind of partition does the s2 natively read, from the manual I've only found fat and exfat. Could someone confirm that?
I use exFat and my latest file reader is FileKommander. I find it works best.

Thank you very much
My tab s2 Marshmallow failed to recognise my 128gb otg stick while my sisters tab 4 8" running android 5.01 recognise it just fine. Prob with permission in marshmallow?
is there a way to add more storage to google chromecast with google tv? i've tried many methods to have CC recognize my 128gb usb 3.0 fat32 flashdrive. I've gotten a usb c hub adapter with ethernet port, i've plugged the fat32 usb flash drive, formated it in google tv as internal storage, google tv sees the flash drive but i won't allow me to use it to transfer files, use it as extra sotrage etc etc. Anyone got a work around? I've factory reset this device but no luck.

yes i formated it using my windows laptop to fat32, then plugged it to the usb c hub, formatted it again using ccwgtv as internal stoage but still can't use the flashdrive for anything. If anyone here was able to expland their CCwGTV, please post the steps here. Thank you.
I used an old 16GB USB 2.0 stick, formated with AOMEI on a windows laptop, inserted into a USB type C hub to my CCwGTV and now in
Settings/Storage
in the internal storage I can see the 4,4 GB original space plus the 14,8 GB usb stick.
I also own a 256 GB USB 3.0 stick, inserted into the USB type C hub's second slot, which is presented as "External disk" in the storage menu.
