Usb ports

[Chris1]

I noticed that when you hook up a usb drive on either port it doesn't show up in the storage section in the settings and in buzz5 app

just tested a USB drive here. It shows up thru the Settings Storage menu.

I tried both USB ports and it showed in both. Did you get a on screen message asking if you want to use ES File Explorer to handle the device ?

If you didn't get that message then your drive is not being recognized, or so it seems.

Try re-formatting the drive  using the PC first.

And there is an App Installer in your apps. Insert the drive again and open that app to see if the drive is shown.

 

OOOps, i am using Buzz6, I see you mentioned Buzz5

Have you tried other different brand/size usb sticks ?

I have piles (at least 100) usb sticks.  And initially I was unlucky and one of the sticks (which works fine on my Classic) was not being recognized by the P6.  I'd insert it, and you'd see in the storage screen, that it would see it inserted and then quickly eject it (stick works fine in all other boxes I've tried).  Second stick I tried, same thing.

But eventually I used an identical stick as the first one, which I did a clean wipe (using diskpart on my windows PC), then create an FAT32 partition and copied files on it, and it worked perfectly.  Tried a few other sticks, and had no issue.   But those first 2 sticks, I have no clue what it does not like.  It is on my list of things to analyze and see WHAT it does not like with those.  IS it the partition type, size, MBR vs GPT, or some other factor ?

Maybe try a different stick or 2 and see.
