Using with a case?

I have an Otterbox Commuter case on by Moto G and I'm a little worried as to how this would work with the case. Does anyone have this or a similar case and can comment on how it fits?

I'd love to get this to have the extra storage, but if I can't easily get it in and out I think I'll have to pass.

EDIT: Does not work with the case, so I have to take the case of, but otherwise works great.

My Meenova stopped working just after some 5 minutes tests. On the Moto G the led turns on and the phone gives an error. On PC isn't detected.

Anybody have problems with Meenova too? Thanks.
[Moto G Accessories] srkgagan:
so does it work ?

i have Moto G and i find 8gb to less

can we connect card reader to OTG AND MOTO G and use it as extrernal storage ? (Memory Card) :silly:
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
Yes, it does work, i have no problems with (Meenova) card reader.

where do u guys get original otg cables? bought like 3 already ending up being spoilt
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
With Meenova you don´t need OTG cable, but before I bought Meenova I bought OTG cable from ebay for 0,75€ and no problems with it. And I think that original OTG cables for Moto G does not exists.
[Moto G Accessories] Bundizle:
ok mate thanks,the local retailers are stocking faulty ones will try n get it from ebay
[Moto G Accessories] M3shyS:
Awesome

A viable solution for a huge problem.

Does it actually work as a micro sd card though? Like can you move apps over to it and stuff? Or do you need root or something?

Thanks
[Moto G Accessories] fabus:
App2sd doesn't work because it discovers embedded storage, do I think not..
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
If you have root, you can use FolderMount to move data of games/apps to SD card, which take up more space than only apk files.
[Moto G Accessories] fabus:
But to have apps working you need to make symlinks or have /data partition on a sd card.

Second option can cause issues when you umoumt sd..

Cheers
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
I know.

And you need to look what FolderMount does ;)

i'm running this rom on my XT1033 and use both a Kingston DT micro duo usb 3.0 16GB and a meenova with a 16gb MicroSD C.10 card with no issues ... but when i do unplug them it sais "microsd removed without worning" or something like that , nothing's messed up after that
[Moto G Accessories] DJames1:
Stock Android 4.4.4 doesn't complain about removing a USB SD card or memory stick as long as you haven't written to it. It took me a while to discover the Mount/Unmount functions under Settings - Storage.

[Moto G Accessories] DJames1:
The equivalent Kingston models are cheaper and offer USB 3.0, but I think the sliding cap on the SanDisk model is a better design than the 90 deg rotating cap on the Kingston (although it's removable if you don't like it).

Finally ordered a Meenova. Wonder how many days it will take to deliver in Brazil.

Can't wait to watch my programming tutorials, Walking Dead and Game of Thrones episodes while I'm on the bus. :fingers-crossed:
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
For anyone who has got one of the meenova devices. Has anyone put in a big card say 64GB or more, does the moto g recognise it? How about one of the more exotic types (MicroSDHC or MicroSDXC)

I'd like to know as motorola have always been a bit picky about cards & card speeds with their own internal SDCard slots. I wouldn't want to buy a big expensive card for it not to work.

problem while creating folder in OTG adapter with USB stick

When connecting the OTG adapter with pendriver, I use es explorer, go into the usb disk 1.1.1, when I try to create a folder or download a content of the internal memory for USB, an error message appears, someone has experienced this problem and know how to solve.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I'm not too bothered if the usb otg is read only, I'll just amend content on my pc and use the drive to play large media files on my TV (I have the htc media link HD) & use the Wi-Fi Media app to stream over films just nicely. Granted this won't be as suitable for everyone, but fits my needs fine.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

I've connected a usb 3.0 stick via a usb otg cable (while I wait for the meenova to arrive) is the phone supposed to acknowledge the otg being inserted? I can navigate using ES file explorer to storage, then I get showing usbdisk_1.0, usbdisk_1.1, usbdisk_1.2, usbdisk_1.3, usbdisk_1.4, usbdisk_1.5, usbdisk_1.6, usbdisk_1.7. Each one when opened just shows 'Empty Folder'

Any ideas?
[Moto G Accessories] igorl:
In my case the USB stick (FAT32 file system) recognizes the folder appears, however I can not create folder or copy files there (but it should be because with the OTG adapter only supports read, because the android system not stick storage device, tested in other celulare and appeared normal and was able to disassemble USB), in your case it must be because you are connecting a HD. and the file system is NTFS?
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Yes I changed my usb stick to FAT32 & then the drive showed up correctly (it did take a minute or two to show up in ES File Explorer) the fact the usb drive was USB 3.0 didn't seem to matter, I didn't try to write any files though.
[Moto G Accessories] irishpancake:
OK, my OTG with USB connected is recognized, in ES, under usbdisk_1.1.1.......unrooted Moto G

No problem with music, movies......

But, how to dismount??

Plugging out cord and replugging in means ES will no longer recognize the folders on the USB drive, usbdisk_1.1.1 shows empty, no folders.

So, is there any app, like stickmount or OTG Disk Explorer needed to allow dismount, remount???

I have not rooted yet, so are these only for rooted devices??

I see Meenova have added Moto G to list of compatible devices:

http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html#devList

Is this without root, and is any other App required??

Thanks.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I plugged/unplugged my usb OTG thing several times and it remounted/dismounted fine, although it does take a little while, it's not fast. You don't need root for that. (I'm starting to think you'll need root to actually write anything to a usb drive though)
[Moto G Accessories] shaftenberg:
Definitely not.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Oh good, does this mean you've written to a usb OTG on your moto g?

Can you say what app you used, and what type of usb drive it was.
[Moto G Accessories] shaftenberg:
Yes, that's what I meant.

USB stick via OTG, FAT32, I use RootExplorer which works without root also ;)
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Ah nice, I've got that somewhere, I'll give it a go. Did you try ES File Explorer too ?
[Moto G Accessories] episode96:
I've tried RootExplorer as well and like I've described in previous messages, I'm still unable to write through OTG. I'm pretty much convinced at this point that anyone that has succeeded so far in writing via OTG has a rooted phone.
[Moto G Accessories] irishpancake:
Thanks for the reply, I'm definitely still having the problem I described above....

I'm using a USB OTG cord which was supplied with a China tab I have, micro usb connector one end, with a flash drive USB connector on other end?? The Flash drive is 16GB, and is formatted FAT32.

I have to re-boot phone for this to mount again, after disconnecting it, otherwise plugging in just shows empty USB_1.1.1??

Happens with either Root Explorer, or ES....

Could be the cord?? Some are better than others, I know.

The thing is, I really want to buy the meenova device, but I am worried I will need to root, going on my experience with the OTG USB mounting/dismounting??

If I can just also ask, regarding the Moto and connecting to car audio system via USB...

there is no support for USB Mass Storage??

Phone goes kinda crazy when connected to my USB audio port in the car, not recognized, read errors, phone beeping warnings, etc....

My Samsung S3 worked, with an this app installed to allow access as USB Mass Storage, to External SD card only.

But, it also needs root, any thoughts for non root solution??

Why does Android no longer support USB Mass Storage natively??
[Moto G Accessories] shaftenberg:
How often: NO! Do you think I am lying? ...
[Moto G Accessories] aaopt:
The meenova page says it used to work natively with Moto X but stopped when KitKat came out. Still supposedly works with root and/or some third party apps though. I fear the same may happen for the G when it gets KitKat.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I can definitely confirm that my phone lets me mount/dismount the usb drive just fine, even multiple times.

As far as writing goes though...

I've now tried with ES File Explorer

Root Explorer

I even went and bought Nexus Media Importer app.

Now for me, none of these would allow me to write to my (admittedly cheap) usb flash stick.

I could read from all, but not write.

I'm still waiting for delivery for my Meenova reader & expensive Sandisk MicroSD card, which should determine if the problem is my cheapo OTG cable or flash stick.

I'm hoping it is,as having the ability to write as well would be good.

For clarity my phone is a Tesco Motorola G (16gb) unlocked to any network, but otherwise completely stock.

---

I'm hoping that Android do something to regain the USB Storage ability that seems to have been lost with the Moto X or we'll be in the same position in a month or so, when the G gets KitKat too.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
There's definitely something hokey with motos USB OTG the same setup that wouldn't write on the moto did on the HTC One, so it's not the hardware.
[Moto G Accessories] 0kpkp0:
Could this be related to the FAT patents that Google doesn't like paying to Microsoft?
[Moto G Accessories] ferossan:
Brazilian version of Moto G is getting a OTA by these days. It is -apparently- solving some problems and maybe the OTG that some people has, despite is not specifically mentioned on the screenshot as solved:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48332197&postcount=29

Screenshot mention solutions for (for those can't read portuguese):

-Better precision for GPS

-Software stability improvements

-Solves problem of install apk's from memory
[Moto G Accessories] episode96:
Of course not, why would you? I just thought I'd read you had your phone rooted. If that wasn't the case and I just got confused, I apologize...
[Moto G Accessories] shaftenberg:
Indeed I rooted my phone when it was possible, but I checked USB OTG far before, so believe me, although it seems maybe unbelievable for you, USB mounts just correct for me.

Maybe there are other things which prevents you from mounting, see why someone can install apk's and someone not. In that special case I had both scenarios, sometimes it worked with installing apk's after factory reset, sometimes not.

But yes, mounting, reading and writing was possible without root. Even disconnect and connect again, just works.

BTW, today I got my meenova! Nice gadget :)
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I'm hoping mine comes soon, when did you order yours?
[Moto G Accessories] shaftenberg:
2,5 weeks ago, think 23th November.
[Moto G Accessories] irishpancake:
Quite a few users have had problems with mounting USB otg....or should I say, re-mounting after removing, device needs to be rebooted to enable otg mount again!!

Even if using StickMount and other utilities, it cannot be got to work, on my rooted device anyway......

also the side loading problem persists, despite all the solutions offered.

So user experience is different for different users, which is unfortunate, as it is not a universal experience for all.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Yes it's a bit strange how people with the same phone have these different issues.
[Moto G Accessories] alpine101:
This one works OK on my rooted Moto G. As well as BSPlayer for movies, I've used Titanium Backup with it and a 32GB micro sd card as the backup destination:

moto G OTG with kit kat and large micro sdxc cards

It seems that moto G is getting kit kat update OTA, and, by reading on Meenova website, they tell that moto X's OTG works with kit kat, but only with root or 3rd party apps, which is pretty sad, cause they put great functions on the phone, but try to hide them. Should it be the same with moto G?

And, also, anyone tried OTG with 64GB micro sdxc cards?

Thanks!
[Moto G Accessories] 903tex:
Ordered mine and it got shipped days ago so can't wait to get it. And with KitKat update hope it works great
[Moto G Accessories] BBOXPT:
Received mine, and got a 32GB card. I can access it via File Explorer, but music apps won't detect what i have in it (i even created a folder named Music).

Also, cannot create files/folders nor copy content there. So no write.

Moto G 8gb XT1032 retail.DE, locked BL no root, running stock.
[Moto G Accessories] weckart:
Got my Meenova a few days ago. Mounting and reading OTG was never a problem - even with music apps but I cannot write to any usb device. My Moto just spits out the same permissions complaint.

[Moto G Accessories] enrique097:
I just ordered a Meenova, so it doesn't work?
[Moto G Accessories] 903tex:
It works well on my end with the meenova
[Moto G Accessories] weckart:
The Meenova works as well as my standard OTG cable. What doesn't work is writing to external SD media. That is a software/firmware issue with the Moto G and nothing to do with the Meenova per se.
[Moto G Accessories] 903tex:
I dropped my phone and landed on my meenova cracked and USB popped out!! :( I just got it today in mail. Is there another company that makes one same compact size for a cheaper price
[Moto G Accessories] jonmorris:
Indeed. If you had the card show up via settings/storage then you'd be fine. You could then read/write/format via the phone as if it were an external card installed in the phone.

I assume this doesn't happen with 4.4 either?
[Moto G Accessories] basionthenet:
Hi,

I have Meenova and FAT 32 SunDiskUltra 64GB microSDXCI and they work OK. Of course NO write support, as described on Meenova website.

[Moto G Accessories] VictorCSx:
Oh, great!! Thanks!!

I'm ordering a Transcend 64GB right now (the cheapest I can get, that isn't a fake) and will use it when my Meenova arrive (it's arrived in Brazil a couple of days ago, but here the bureaucracies are insane, it could get 6 more weeks to get to my home...)!

I got my meenova

Hi there :)

I got my meenova and I tested in my rooted moto g with 4.3(es explorer) and kitkat too(root explorer).

I can write on it. Tested music only I don't know video. So for me it works. By the way you wanna see something incredible look at this guy trying to solve the rubiks cube 10x10x10 blindfolded this is his first attempt he has done it before but in 8, 7 and 6

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmbIkw9nRjY#t=8356 :mad:

I used the following apps, stick mount, root explorer paid, es explorer.
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
After update to 4.4.2 OTG is NOT working :(

But on my N7 i have StickMount (root), so i tested it on G, and it's working ;)

I think is better as USB Stick Plugin for Total Commander, or anything else, because you can use connected disc as disc. I mean, you can open files e.g. mp4 direct to video player, not at first download to temp and then play in player...
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
Ja_son are you rooted though or stock?
[Moto G Accessories] denzel09:
meenova otg works on stock 4.4.2 without root? Or root is needed only for write support?
[Moto G Accessories] Ja_som:
I'm ja_som, not ja_son and my G is rooted ;)

StickMount works only on rooted devices...
[Moto G Accessories] jonas_andro:
Good...
[Moto G Accessories] enrique097:
I got 4.4.2 rooted.
[Moto G Accessories] denzel09:
Without root on kk works?

Edit: now works natively with last ota on kk
[Moto G Accessories] enrique097:
You need stick mount app to work and this app needs a rooted device so I don't think it will work if it is not rooted.
[Moto G Accessories] denzel09:
Thanks but from here i see that root is needed only for write access. So i think that in reading there will be no problems. What you think?
[Moto G Accessories] VictorCSx:
I think that the read-only thing applies only to JB 4.3 on moto G.

As moto X's update to KK 4.4 disabled the native OTG support (as stated below the note for moto G's write with root), it might be the disabled on moto G as well...
[Moto G Accessories] denzel09:
Sounds reasonable. :good:

This looks beyond amazing, just ordered a black one, exactly what I was looking for
[Moto G Accessories] dtsm888:
Has anyone who upgraded to kitkat and has not rooted the Meenova device confirm it will work beyond read-access mode. I ordered one a few days ago and then read the fine-print warning about read access mode unless rooted so canceled the order.

Thank you
[Moto G Accessories] tsar_chasm:
It clicks in securely, so I think it is unlikely to come free but I would be aware that there is 1-2 mm or so of the micro usb that extends out from the plastic that may bend or break after enough abuse.
[Moto G Accessories] techguyone:
I wouldn't recommend having it on permanently, it's well made & tough but it will catch on clothing, get damaged, better to just attach it when you need & remove when you don't.

Confirmation that after updating to KK USB OTG isn't automatically supported anymore, you have to use a 3rd party app to get it to work. Which is a distinct downward step

In my case I used 'Nexus Media Importer' but as a positive, I now have write access on my meenova which I didn't have under JB

[Moto G Accessories] binlalo:
One question for those who already have it, can third party apps like poweramp, playerpro or rocket player scan a music folder in the SD card and integrate it into the music library?

I've read that with kk you need another app to access to that folder so maybe now music apps can't access to the mounted SD to scan the selected folder.

I want to be sure before ordering since I just want it to put all my music there and play it with rocket player (or similar).

[Moto G Accessories] jeffgt14:
You won't be able to access the SD card through poweramp or any of those. Kit Kat has disabled the native support for USB OTG so unless you are rooted, you will need a third party explorer app to access it. As far as I can tell, this is a Kit Kat limitation and not on Motorola's end. Don't know why because it worked perfectly with JB.
[Moto G Accessories] dptran:
I know that Stickmount [require root] work perfectly with my KitKat it mount the usb OTG to sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 and Poweramp can access the folder no problem and play
