the n7 supports OTG through root!!! - Nexus 7 General

Tech site the verge has asked Asus about otg and MHL and was confirmed that jelly bean and the nexus 7 does not support it. It does however support USB host. Here is the article
http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3127278/nexus-7-mhl-usb-otg
EDIT: thanks to RMXO we have now confirmed that OTG does work once your device is rooted. Plug in your flash drive to a USB otg cable and you can now transfer your content.

so with usb host support does that mean i could for instance plug like a game controller in using like an adapter.

According to the verge mouse and keyboard work so a game controller should work. I'm pretty sure you can buy a bluetooth game controller.

my xperia s has OTG , i know some phone dont eg one x ( out of the box ) but I cant see that being a huge stumbling block .. XDA will sort it out !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, so this still isn't very clear. Is the lack of MHL and OTG support on the software side or hardware? The only thing that article states is that "Android 4.1 Jelly Bean" doesn't support it.
Where's an ifixit tear down when you need them?

Not really news, we know the software was made to not support it. But with root and an app, does the tablet have enough juice going to the micro usb slot? That's the question....

since root is out & I'm about to pick up a 8gb from a person on CL. I'll test it OTG with a flash drive after I get it.

It can be outrageous on the pricing but if you're patient & lucky you can get it for $20-50 markup. Those are the people that I love dealing with since they aren't asking too much and willing to sell right away with no BS.
I just came home with my Nexus 7 so I should be testing in a bit. Since we met up at Frys, I got me a cheap 64gb flash drive for 29.99.

Using an OTG cable that I use for all my android devices with a 64gb FAT32 formatted flash drive didn't pick up the drive. I'm going to root & see if I can get it to recognize the flash drive.

Yeap, I had to download & install "StickMount" to get my flash drives to mount.
The drive path when you mount is:
/mnt/sdcard/usbStorage/sda1, sdb1, sdc1, etc....
Nexus 7 with StickMount reads NTFS & FAT32 but not exFAT. Also I'm unable to write to NTFS either.

Yes, I have the model that was handled out at Google I/O with the White back

Following this thread like it's a championship finals, being able to mount a usb stick is what's gonna make me buy it or not.

the title of the post should be edited to say the nexus 7 doesn't do mhl and usb otg natively, seems misleading.
RMXO, you are the shizzle! this is what I've been agonizing over since news came out of no micro sd slot. 13.something gb useable is a drop in the bucket without a micro sd slot. i can live without mhl, but not with a measly 13.something gb. i paid $120 for the very first 16gb micro sd card when it first came out. if they offered a 64gb or even a 128gb nexus 7 i would have gladly paid more for it. you can never have enough memory, but can definitely have too little. i bought the 1st gen ipad 16gb wifi when it came out from a friend for $300 bc it was such a good deal, then realized how useless it was. ended up giving it to my mom to play games on it.
i can deal with reading ntfs and fat32, and writing to fat32. considered cancelling my pre-order if usb otg didn't work, or just giving it to my mom so she could skype with my sister and niece, since the 1st gen ipad doesn't have a ffc. thanks again RMXO, i am grateful, and Google owes you! lol

Waiting your OTG results.

Here are my results when trying to playing video files from a flash drive via OTG.
I sued the following three apps (MXPlayer, Dice, MOBO Player) to play AVI, MKV (720 & 1080p) with.
All three apps couldn't play the video files. Dice would FC (I used a TiBU version since Dice shows as incompatible on Play Store). With Mobo Player I couldn't get it to recognize the ARM7-neon plugin even though I downloaded & installed it. MXPlayer would give me a video problem error.
So most likely those apps are incompatible with JB & I'm able to play those video files on my S3 with Dice to verify these are not corrupted files.

Any possibility to transfer the files from the usb to the internal memory and try opening from there?

Root your 7 and use StickMount and OTG Mini USB cable to mount a USB Flash Drive. I got a Kingston 64GB USB 3.0 drive for $75. I got USB 3.0 to speed up transfers from my computer to the USB drive...obviously usb 3.0 doesn't do anything for the 7 (but it is backward compatible). Currently the only downside is you have to reboot after you unplug it in order for it to recognize it again.

And you can find StickMount on the Play store.
Of course, this only works for one Nexus 7...so if you need more than one person to access the drive...the OP's suggestion is better.

I picked up the 16GB on Amazon for $39 (now it's $49). I like to go camping and drive long distances, the size should be good enough for media to keep me and or the kids happy without tethering and risking using insane amounts of data.
If only I can access the files and folders DIRECTLY (AFP, SMB, etc) without the Seagate app, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
I've played with the WiDrive and it work pretty good. It was the 32gb version. They now make a 128gb version.
I wish they had a version that allowed you to insert an sdcards into it.

I mentioned it in a similar thread to this as well, but I have gone ahead and ordered one since then. Look up the Patriot Gauntlet Node if you already have some loose 2.5in HDDs or SSDs sitting around. A tiny bit more expensive considering that it does not come with a drive...but worth it if you understand its flexibility.
Found it for $100 on amazon and I have a nice 320gb Toshiba that I took out of my laptop recently to start using with it. I will probably upgrade to a 256gb SSD once they drop below $150.

Why aren't there low profile flash drives with micro-USB connectors?

Something like the one below with a micro-usb connector instead.
I would think some manufacturer could make a killing in the phone/tablet market...
Agreed, that's a great idea, maybe nobody has actually thought about it who works in the industry? Stranger things have happened.

I'm trying to avoid something that sticks out too far. If you drop the N10 or bang it on something with that connected, it could really stress (or even break) the micro-usb jack.
I only need the flash drive/card reader to watch movies. I'm ok with it jutting out some as long as I can get it to work. I'm surprised no one else has found this item with all the people looking for microusb flash drives.

If it doesn't exist (yet), that makes it kinda hard to find.
I just ordered this from ebay. It's not specifically described as OTG but it does say it's 5-pin, so I'm hopeful. At least it will leave the headphone jack accessible.
The point of my earlier post is that micro-usb flash drives do exist, and you can buy them from amazon. It may not be small enough for you, but it is still pretty small and light and could be a good option for people who do not want to build their own or be stuck using a cable.
The problem is that I still can't get it to read the microsd card. It is only reading the flash memory part on my Nexus 10. My Galaxy S3 can read the 4 gig internal memory and the 32 gig microsd card.

Sorry - I was still referring to a low profile flash drive, as pictured in the OP and another poster's picture. I have seen the ones you're referring to, and I'm just paranoid about it sticking out that far. The right angled adapter I posted above (assuming it works as OTG) would at least keep the flash drive running parallel to the edge of the N10, rather that sticking out perpendicular to it.
I just bought one of the SanDisk Fit drives you used as an example, and while I haven't looked at it closely, my guess is that the bulk of its "guts" are actually stuffed in the USB connector itself (pretty sure I've run across MicroSD card readers that worked this way) and therefore wouldn't fit into a similar package with a micro usb connector.

OTG USB Storage Works natively

So I was experimenting this evening and found that the M8 can't utilize my Meenova card reader (therefore, I wonder whether it will work with the equivalent Leaf product I saw announced recently).
However, when I pulled my USB OTG cable out, it read a USB drive just fine. That's a pleasant surprise, especially because it apparently does not require the Nexus Media importer (like my Nexus 7 FHD does) to access files on an external USB device.
I would assume, and I haven't tried this yet, that it would also read a hard drive (provided it was powered externally).
How was the SD card in the meenova formatted?

FAT32. It was a Sandisk 64g that used to run inside my Rezound and had worked with my Nexus 7 FHD via the Meenova previously.
Well I think it is because the M8 already have a SD slot and it can't adress the second.
Mine sees my meenova just fine with a sandisk 64, the red and gray ultra formatted FAT32. Try pulling the thing out slightly to where the hooks keep it from falling out and wait awhile, the first time it took a long time to mount but once it does it works fine afterwards.
It doesn't matter if a device has an external SD card, those are mounted as sdcard1 and so forth, OTG devices get mounted as usbdisk1 and on.
Lemme clarify that the phone can READ files from the meenova but can not write without modifying permissions.xml to reverse the 4.4 external media write protection.
that wouldn't have anything to do, I have no problems on my S3/S4 doing that
Unfortunately, I think it is the Meenova that is incompatible with the m8. I have an AT&T-branded m8, stock, and when the Meenova is plugged in, Android is cycles back and forth between mounting and unmounting it.
I take the microSD out of the Meenova and plug it into a USB reader in a USB-OTG cable and the m8 mounts it just fine.
I'm going to contact Meenova and see if they have any ideas.
I have both the Meenova and an OTG cable. I have tried multiple cards that work in my PC and tablet. None will mount on my M8. It just keeps flashing "Safe to Remove" and "Device Removed Unexpectedly" over and over.
Mine did the same thing of mounting/umounting also, until i pulled on it slightly because i thought the contacts were not making a proper connection. Pulled it slightly back to where the hooks caught it and it worked ok after. Probably not a great solution but just reporting that it does work with my meenova.

It would have been nice to get an idea if they plan to fix this or produce a new model that will support our phones For the time being I am using a USB OTG cable to connect to a Kingston USB3, it works but is bulky an inconvenient.
Really need the meenova to work so I can get around the no writing to ext sdcard from Kit Kat 4.4.
I got myself one of these, works flawlessly!!!

Ohhh thanx for that, I looked a few months back and could not find it, so got the Team M141. Have saved linked and will get one when I need it
Are you serious guys? Meenova doesn't work on your m8? Mine works fine. I tested it with a data transfer from meenova to internal sd card (2 gb file) worked good. Only thing is i can't use the meenova and headphone at the same time. Not enough space to put the headphone plug in with meenova inserted.
I can chime in and say that i found some old cables for hooking up internal drives yesterday. Hooked up a 2TB hitachi drive, worked like a charm.
Streaming from drive to chromecast didn't pose any problems either.

Thanks for posting this- I've just backed it. The $10 early bird with free worldwide shipping is an easy buy from me.
Now let's see someone build it into a case like they do for the batteries (better yet, along with a battery), so we can have a card permanently mounted.
I supported the micro-usb product and though it was delayed significantly (IMO), it worked as promised. I have already backed the USB-C.
Just backed this for a type c version, thanks!
I backed this the other day as well thanks to this thread

I picked up their 1st gen card reader and it has been incredibly useful. I definitely recommend supporting these guys.
Thanks for the thread!
Backed one yesterday for the Type C adapter. Thanks!

Nice, that looks like the Sandisk one I have that is USB micro to USB A, but mine has built in memory and doesn't use a microsd card.
I just found the sandisk wireless flash drive the other day if anyone is looking for an unplugged experience. It works through WiFi, but you don't need internet. Supports up to 128gb cards. I feel like if I had an adapter sticking out of my phone something would get broken fast, even if it was only for 5 minutes. I'm a major butterfingers lol.

I'd usually agree with this, but I plan on using this to watch movies sometimes when I'm on transportation. I' d just put it portrait and prop it up, so probably wouldn't need to touch it too much.
Just so you all know, Monoprice has already made something like this, which is also works with USB A. I can't post a link to amazon due to a new account, but it's called the Monoprice Dual Mode USB-C MicroSD Reader.
