OTG Volatges or Amps for HDD

[pramod2259]

hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone knows how to increase the voltages or amps for OTG to make power HDD successfully

I have 1TB and 2TB HDD
both are working with my Note 3 N9005 and Note Edge N915S without extra power

but for my Note Pro P905 they both need external power
the Note Pro does not provide enough power for them

so
I want to know if there are files that need to be edited to increase the power supplied for the HDD through OTG cable or do I need a custom kernel

thanks

i think you should buy a usb hub that can be powered and connect it to the otg cable and connect the power to the hub not to the OTG Y cable

i remember using a Y usb cable like this

i connected the hdd to the tablet using an otg cable and connected the extra usb from the Y cable to my laptop usb port (because it was short and the laptop is closer than the charger )

using this method my hdd worked on my note pro
sadly i do not have the tablet anymore to test it out now

Thank you for the reply.
I have ordered a powered usb hub. Hope it'll solve the problem.
