    Hi all. Just wondering if anyone can help me with a USB OTG problem.

    So I have a Samsung 2TB SSD portable drive (doesn't need any external power) plugged into my DTEK50. But nothing happens.

    My DTEK50 is in adoptable storage mode for my MicroSD card - which is working well. I wonder if that's the issue?

    When I plug the drive in, there's no notification or recognition of the USB OTG drive?.

    The SSD drive is formatted in FAT32. So on paper this is all supposed to work lol.

    Just wondering if anyone has tried and can screenshot what their DTEK50 shows when they plug in their USB OTG external drive?

    Many thanks in advance :-)

    Hmm.. download Solid Explorer and then the USB OTG plugin.

    If it doesn't work after that, I'm not sure. Mine just.. worked.

    Will do. It's a newly released Belkin USB-C to MicroSD cable that works with my friends Sony Z5 also btw, so that rules out the cable.

    Do any music apps of yours recognise music on your USB OTG drive automatically?

    I'll try Solid Explorer now.

    Installed Solid Explorer and bought the plugin. Still no love. What size drive are you using with your DTEK50. I wonder if it's because it's 2TB or because it's an SSD drive?

    Success! My DTEK50 didn't like the Belkin cable for whatever reason. Tried a cheap USB OTB adapter with the Samsung SSD's original cable and voila :-)
