xperia u otg cable error

city7476 — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 08:25:53 GMT

I bought my Xperia U 2 weeks ago and i was amazed with its special feature of connecting USB drive.But sadly its not working with me because when i connect my usb pen drive with my device it detects normally but while transfering files(.apk files,songs,photos) it completes half way and then pauses and eventually i get a notification that the usb storage device removed unexpectedly.And to make sure whether is it cable problem but it comes out to be no its not cable problem because i tried it with many cables with some original samung also.And i even tried with bunch of other pen drives too.I used Sandisk Cruzer Blade 4GB,8GB and Sony 8GB too but still no hope.Please help me to sort out the problem.Is it the problem of device or else?I need to use my pen drive since Xperia U has a very limited storage.Does Sony manufacture their own OTG cables too?

Thanks.

Unfortunately we don't offer any official USB OTG cable at the moment. I have never tested this using a OTG cable but USB pen drives works fine using the LiveDock.

So its not my devices' or softwares' problem basically my 16k phone is not capable of such a feature.I also tried same cable and same pendrive with Galaxy S2 it worked like charm.So livedock's the ultimate option?

Okay and my main question is,Is my Phone even capable of USB OTG feature or else i won't waste my money and time on buying OTG cables in hope that it will work?

The XPU does work with OTG, I've powered my flash drives and my SSD through it.

I've also used a gamepad with it too.

Re: xperia u otg cable error

jatinrungta — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:38:31 GMT

Gamepad works

SERIOULY A SSD?

I did not power ie cant power cabled gamepad though wireless works awesome. My f710 works with it

Re: xperia u otg cable error

Yeah, an SSD is really low power compared to a contemporary hard drive.
Its only a bit more than a pen drive.

I'm using some third-party branded USB controller though. Its good for playing Dead Trigger with.

city7476 — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:25:46 GMT

So which Brand OTG cable do you use?
