OTG on Sm-X205

[Davros]

I just purchased a SM-X205 and found that I can't get it to detect a USB via OTG.

Samsung says the tablet doesn't support it but various apps says it does.

Does anyone know if I can get the thing to detect and access a USB via OTG?

@Davros there's 2 things to try.
1st is via an OTG adaptor/cable.
2nd way requires an OTG USB key.

The USB key also needs to be formatted with Fat32.

Have you checked whether it is detected in My Files?
