Flash drive appears under storage in the settings but I can't see it under the files app.

enjoy this GIFT from MOTO.
Just found the USB storage did auto mounted in HKTW 2.3.4 build, under USB HOST mode.
And it did not require any MOTO Dock.
BUT BE CAREFUL the DATA MAY LOST after PLUG-IN, if disk FORMAT UNSUPPORTED.
currently tested,
USB Flash drive: FAT32 is good.
USB Flash drive: exFAT is failed & broke.
USB Flash drive: NTFS is failed.
this still requires the 5vdc and otg cable/ usb hub?
Offcourse it does, it's a hardware limitation, doesn't change with os build. So nothing new here.
Hi all, I have the EOS nightlies installed on my Xoom. My OTG cable just arrived - the Xoom recognises and mounts it - but im having trouble finding the location in File Manager HD and ES File Explorer.
Am I missing something some extra software perhaps? If not where does the Xoom mount the USB drives?
i'm running BuglessBeast rom I use an app called Drive Mount, that is the only way I can get my drives to appear (ntfs)
Have to do it certain order, load Drive mount , plug in drive, hit refresh on drive mount and then drive should appear and then mount the drive, it should appear in file explorer apps from there.
Look for your USB drive in /media/USB.

Worked perfectly, thanks a bunch
Alright, I think I may have messed up...
So I connected my i9500 through USB to try and get access to SDcard to transfer/make folders. Turns out it only connects in MTP mode, and I cant find the option to turn on UMS and disable MTP.
Is there a way to get USB mass storage mode when I connect via USB cable without having to root or install a custom rom?
Mainly though I transferred 1 file in MTP mode and now when I go to that folder with ES file explorer, the whole foldert doesn't exist anymore. Is there anyway I can get it back my files back / folder back??
is there anyway to get universal mass storage without 3rd party apps or ROM??
With all other Android phones I have, when I plug in the USB I have the option to mount as a storage device. Here I can organize media, move downloaded zip to the root of the SD, clear out unneeded files. It seems with the Nexus 4 I can no longer do that; mount it as a drive.
When I attach the USB cable I can either connect "media device" or "camera". When I select a camera, it mounts just the DCIM folder. This allowed me to transfer all of my pics and vids to the device. When I select "media device" I don't see any change. I don't see a mounted drive/folder to organize/transfer music.
Is there a way to use the SD as a mounted drive and bypass the limited options of "media device" or "camera". If not what is the best way to manage files on your phone via your PC?
I am running Parandroid 3.94 and my PC is a Win7 64.

On the Nexus 4 the internal storage is mounted as an MTB device rather than a USB drive. Make sure you have the latest Nexus 4 driver installed (use a toolkit or the SDK to install the driver) then follow yacbos' instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232471&page=2 to let Windows view the MTB storage.
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
Using my OTG cable, along with StickMount, I've been able to view files on my USB stick. However, after formatting (exFAT) my USB device, and trying to view files off it once again (using ES file explorer), the folder for the USB Storage now shows up empty. Even when files are present on the USB stick.
I have tried different files on the device, to see if my Nexus 7 will read, but to no avail, it just shows an empty folder.
Anyone got any ideas?

so I probably won't be able to help, but just out of curiosity, does StickMount launch when you plug in your usb stick?

It does, yes
Got it fixed!
When formatting my USB drive through windows I only had exFAT & NTFS file system options. What I did was download "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8" - and it gave me the option to use FAT32.
Problem solved, USB device seems to be working now.
