Cool!but at least in my case OTG had come supplied in the box and tried on other recent models it did not work though. Indeed in my previous phone in the default file manager itself was displaying the external storrage such as pen drive and portable harddisk.

Hi,"OTG Cable" doesn't come with the phone; one has to buy it separately. At least, I didn't get one with my MotoG2 and there was only " Micro USB" cable inside the box. These cables are available easily in electronics shops ranging from RS 50-100. an "OTG Cable" is compatible with most phones which have "Micro USB" Port. Most of the newly launched phones are coming with OTG support out of the box but some like MotoG2 don't. It is surprising though, its predecessor did. For those who use MotoG2 and want to enable OTG support on their phone to use USB devices like keyboards or pendrives, please download and install "Nexes Photo Viewer" from the playstore. Once downloaded and installed, plug any USB device and it should detect that. Caution: the above mention app does work like a file manager though, it is not the ideal app for browsing files on a USB disk as I couldn't play MP3 files from pendrive with this app. So, I downloaded a few other apps and found two of them good to some extent as they too, come with adds and one has to buy their pro versions in order to remove adds. These are: USB File Manager and USB File browser. However, one should not uninstall the "Nexes Photo Viewer" and should keep it installed and should select any of the app to open the USB drive when presented with "Choose an app" dialog. Further, please do not set any default app for playing the USB disk, specially pendrive as I encountered problems after doing this and should always manually select an app from the dialog which comes after connecting a USB drive. These are results of testing an 8GB pendrive with MotoG2 with Android 5.02. Any other inputs are welcomed!With best regards, Satguru ___,__.___ "Life's battle do not always go, to the stronger or faster man.

OTG comes with the phone so you do not have to buy it separately. These cables are phone specific so one cable would work on the same model apart from different models. Moto G 1st generation itself was supporting OTG where you could connect keyboard and pen drives which would be showing under file manager. I had spice stellar pinnacle Pro MI 535 which also had this OTG. Moto e does not have the OTG connectivity.----- Original Message ----- From: "Erri Swami" <olivepre...@gmail.com>To: "Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phonesand Tabs." <mobile.accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2015 6:17 PM Subject: Re: [Mobile.AI] Can I play a pen-Drive on my Moto E?hi, do we need to download any specific application to support OTG cable? because i perchased OTG cable but it is not working, please tell me to use it.

I am about to purchase thegood android phone, so I was ready to purchase the moto e 2nd gen, but as you've said that we can not use the pen drive on our phone, so I no longerpurchase the moto e. instead I'll go on moto g 2nd gen. so what about Lenovo A6000 plus?? Does it support OTG cable? Not only the pen drive, it was great to know that using OTG cable, we can also use our USB keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Mobile.accessindia[mailto:mobile.accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of AaruniSharma Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2015 6:07 PM To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones and Tabs.
