Moto G has USB OTG

[Hawnz]

One reason I almost didn't get Moto G was a lack of an microSD slot. Now, not feeling so bad as USB OTG works out of the box.

These baby aren't cheap though: https://blog.sony.com/press/sonys-n...nctionality-for-smartphone-and-tablets-users/

I'd like to find something more affordable like this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta

$64.00 for the 32gb USB drive! Wow. That's expensive. Still I might like it better than the card reader.

Does the UK version have OTG enabled, I can't seem to get it to work and can't find any settings related to it??

Do you have Nexus Media Importer or Total Commander installed? You probably need one of those.

I use a file manager to open the files and play a video file with MX player. Then the player will see the file.

Thinking of getting this: Mini MicroSD Card Reader by Meenova
$15 which converts to around ?8 since I'm in the UK, takes up to 64GB, perfect for when I'm on a long trip.

You should be able to mount it using an app like this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ps/details?id=com.anda.otgdisk&token=O3vCUQD7

How about that! You mention that one just as I was downloading the full version. Which works perfectly, just in case anyone wanted to know.

So, the moral of the story is: USB OTG, yes, standalone, no. An app like the above is needed to make it work (with a stock Moto G, that is)

Reading from the link and found this-
Note on Moto G: read-only access; root is required to write to USB storage.
** Note on Moto X: 4.4 update for Moto X disables external USB storage access; now it requires third-party software or root to access USB storage, similar to Nexus devices.-

Also this link-

Meenova: Support for Mini MicroSD Reader for Android -

I have not gotten KitKat yet.

So has anyone got Kitkat on the Moto G to check if OTG is gone? That's what happened with Moto X.

But KitKat on the Nexus 5 supports otg.
