Samsung Tab S2 microUSB OTG stopped working

[eltho]

Hi all,

My Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 doesn't see my OTG-devices anymore. I can still charge, so I guess the micro USB port is still ok, but when I connect my external card reader or HDD, it doesn't see it. Everything worked fine until a couple of says ago, I don't know what changed...

Who knows what to do? I don't want to root it, because it's still pretty new and I want to keep my warranty...

Thanks!

Rooting probably won't solve your problem. Try the OTG cable/adapter on another device and try plugging the tablet into your computer. The former will check the OTG cable/adapter, the latter will check the USB connector.

Just because it is charging doesn't mean it can't transfer data.

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the same problem and need a solution.

I had a problem with it when my s2 was new. Turned out to be the otg cable in particular the one with a right angle end did not work well. It would see some devices, not others. The straight end variety works for me. You might try a new cable.
