Dear friends.
Just bought a OTG wire for Note II.
I tried with a 8gb pendrive no problem. Have you guys tried with your hard disk ? is there a way to connect my hard disk without rooting ?
Note II, 32GB memory card. I will be going travelling so might carry a 1TB HDD and always can watch movie.
Please advice. TQVM

QUOTE(joytest @ May 26 2013, 07:53 PM) Hello you haven't been here in a while. Post 7 has some info. Your HDD is probably NTFS, so you need additional software to read it. And you probably need to hook it up to some power source, maybe a powerbank, since the Note 2 (nor does ANY phone currently) does not have the power output to drive an external HDD. Is yours the 3.5" type or 2.5" type? 2.5" type you should be able to use a powerbank. 3.5" you need AC power. Dear TS. Better stay quiet rather than kena bomb ma. Ok , back to topic. I saw online ppl manage to connect Nexus 7 to 1 TB HDD. Mine is the compact laptop size external HDD. I dont quite understand how to connect the powerbank, the hdd and the phone all together .....

Connect the data end to the OTG cable and the supplementary power end to the powerbank. And you probably need that NTFS reader app in post 7. Read that post link as well on how sai86 connected his HDD. Hi Sir, The paragon requries ROOT. Any other ways ?
