[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itbelikedat:
Do this.

Unplug your otg cable from you galaxy note 10.1

Download an app called "usb otg helper" (the free version) from the google play store.

Run the app

Plug you usb drive into your otg cable

Plug your otg cable into your galaxy note 10.1

A window will pop up. Check the box that say something along the lines of "let usb otg helper handle all usb devices plugged into this device"

A file manager window should open on top of the usb otg helper app (astro file manager popped up on my screen)

In that file manage window, navigate to your storage folder. Is your storage folder, you should see sdcard01 (this is your internal sd card [16gig or 32 gig, depending on which version of the tablet you bought]), extsdcard (if you have an external sd card loaded in your slot), and UsbDriveA (the usb drive you plugged into your otg cable)

If you checked the box that asked if you want usb otg helper to handle all of your usb devices, the usb otg helper app will always automatically mount your usb drive everytime you plug in your usb drive via the otg cable.

IMPORTANT NOTE

in order for your galaxy note 10.1 to recognize your usb drive, YOU MUST PLUG YOUR USB DRIVE INTO YOUR OTG CABLE before YOU PLUG YOUR OTG CABLE INTO YOUR TABLET.

otherwise your tablet will only recognize the otg cable, and not the usb device.

I need more time to figure out the deal with the ps3 controller.

My HTC One S used to recognize my ps3 controller at one point and now the same ps3 controller is not being recognized by my galaxy note 10.1 or my htc one s.

I think that my problem with my ps3 controller has something to do with me getting the ps3 controller to work with games on my windows pc.

Once I figure out the solution to the ps3 controller issue, I'll post it here.

Ir this helped you, hit the thanks buttom.
