Z5C - Sandisk Ultra Dual Not Working

[cako]

The Flash Disk works with and is recognized by other devices, such as Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia Z3, and Galaxy Note 4. But my newly purchased Z5 compact (Version 5.1.1, Build # 32.0.A.6.200) does not recognize the usb disk. Tried in safe mode, stamina mode, and normal mode. None of them works. Am I missing something, or is the product defective?

It even doesn't fit perfectly. The drive fits other phones perfectly.

After you have connected the drive to your phone, you need to go to Settings -> Device connection -> USB Connectivity -> Detect USB device. Z5 will not identify USB-devices automatically except at restart of the phone.

Thanks Rickard,

That solved the problem. Is there an option to make it automatically detect as in other phones? My colleague's Xperia Z3 automatically detects it.

No. You have to do it every time. It is about the water proof usb: if you connect it to a charger or computer is automatically activated, otherwise you have to do it by yourself.
