[Ouya Android Development] rexzooly:
After testing all these things myself I have had the same problem with no hdd working no pen drive working, but my mouse did.

Knowing this was android and knowing all these drivers working on my parters android tablet I new there was something wrong with

the Ouya's USB Drivers or other Ouya set up but ever usb drive would flash once's when I put them in then would go back off again, A fault

I had with a old p3 that had 6 usb ports but ALL shared one 5v rail.

So I got a standard USB extender one I know works with low power ports aka the tablet and guess what the mouse now did the same thing

as the usb drives, not this is not a simple fix, the ouya is not stupid and I think it has be made this way to try stop hacking there store and side

loading there own media, but some chip set USB hubs don't work with the Ouya I have tested 3 and only one worked with it, once this hub was in ALL usb drives worked, NOTE NOT ALL AT THE SAME TIME the ouya can only mount one drive at a time also the OS have been told not to show you the mounting option in the storage section this is fault reading but pug it in you will see it flash like it was trying to do something I mean the stroage section not your drive, the ouya auto mounts so like many have said use ES or other file apps to check if the USB drive is mounted.

This worked fine with xbmc, the ps-one emulator, es explorer.

So the Ouya USB port is under powered this is a fact on some of the devices at lest, It is also seems to be funny on the USB Powered Hubs Chip set, Here is the hub I used HERE this wont fix it for everyone I sure of it as ouya are really been sneaky on how they are trying to stop use sideloading and hacking the device tho it was meant to be hacker friendly.

My Device is the retail module I can't speak for anyone else but I really think some people did over look the simple problems USB and android had at the start, power managerment and chip sets was a big problem and this could the problem now or it could of been made like this to make us feel or think we are unable to get things to work, this is why some drivers work and some don't as it will be down the the chip set and power some drive wont take much power some will take point something over the v5 like v5.01 and it just wont handle it.

I hope this helps but with the right hub at this time I feel it will work, I don't have another one to test with at this time but if anyone in the UK and is near a maplins get your hands on this egg and try it out, plus I love this egg's other functions :)

Good luck to everyone and remember this is android we are talking about it can have a paddy with 2 devices what are the same one device works 100% for the life of the device and the other might brake same day you got it, anyone that has cooked a rom or mod know this.

Ouya Stock rom, 1.04 with Egg 3in1 USB Powered hub, Seagate USB 3/2 500 hdd works with this hub does not without, cheap PC world caddy 2.5, 360gig hdd does work with hud does not without, same with all USB pendrivers we tested,.

Note this DOES work with one HDD and the mouse at the same time I only so far seen a problem with the HDDs and hubs

Reason I think this is a chip set problem is that we have a Raspberry Pi and it came with a unnamed hub what will crash the Ouya soon as you plug in ANY device to it, this to me is the way the chipset it taking to the two devices, it crashed on mouse as well has HDD/USB Drives

I hope some of my rant here was useful I only posted it as one user said the power couldn't be a problem here what is clearly false and they don't understand how USB works it can be a factor and from what I can see is a factor.

Just a little edit/note: this was also tested with fat32 and ntfs I was not going to go down the linux formatting route as this is sold in game in the UK and many users from what I have seen so far are home users not power users like many of us. both formats worked fine after the hub became part of the setup, but also note ouya might update the device again and this hub might also brake.
