[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
Thanks for your information..

I plugged the OTG into my device, with a USB drive, nothing happened, nothing listed in "Storage", then she pulled out the crappiest fake device I've ever seen, plugged it in to that, and it worked perfectly

I browsed the device she used and it said "External Storage" in Storage... but she didnt have any "SD card" section, like I have

can you or anyone else confirm the Sections you have in Settings > Storage?

I feel that devices with SDcard0 and SDcard1 both cannot use further External storage.. is that right? its just a hypothesis based on something I read about the Android system only being able to have 2 slots or something

I removed my internal SD card, (which requires a special screwdriver since its submersible) and then tried it again.. but that didnt work.. but i didnt "unmount" the sd card first in the Storage settings, I dont know if that would make a difference

I tried connecting via USB Hub connected to my PC, but that didnt work either

I tried using StickMount, USB OTG Helper, USB Device Info, USB Host Controller, USB Host Diagnostics, Slick USB 2 Serial Terminal

also tried Free USB Serial Terminal, FTDI AOA Hyper Terminal, & Paragon NTFS&HFS+, no idea what those do..

and all of them responded the same.. nothing found.

In my Device Info, under "Features" it says: "android.hardware.usb.host"

I dont really know what else to do..

Any other Ideas?

thanks for your help
