Moto E OTG

[adityak469]

Opening a new thread because no one seems to replying on the Moto E thread

So Sandisk Ultra Dual USB Drive 32 GB Pendrive - Sandisk : Flipkart.com was delivered today and well as I expected, it wasn't being detected on my Moto E. But I checked it on Galaxy S Advance, it wasn't being detected too. It works fine on a PC though. Is anything wrong with the drive?

Is there any way to run OTG on Moto E? ES File Explorer and Nexus File Transfer doesn't work. Any other software that I can try?

Moto E doesn't has OTG support, Dont know about S Adv.

 

[adityak469]

any workaround for the OTG thing?

Try the File Commander and its OTG plugin... -- *play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.fileman&hl=en

exactly. Moto E's micro usb port can't supply enough power for OTG to work (and maybe not supported in kernel too )

yeah the main issue being a particular pin is required in the micro usb slot for otg but its missing in the moto e
i may be wrong but i remember reading about it somewhere

Dude HP's mechanical keyboard works with it! So it does have capability to supply power. Its probably disabled in kernel.
I'll try otg tommorow on my mom's Moto E will let you know if I can do anything.

Its not possible (correct me if I am wrong) The same pin is used for transferring data to PC using MTP.

i know its not the same pin- otg separate and mtp separate
dunno for sure if moto e has the otg pin or no
