Thanks Man. (Update I figured out how to get the USB and Ethernet working on the 2023 Onn box read my 2nd comment below) I was going to get 2 over the weekend after you sent me an email and ended up side tracked. You sent me another notification letting me know they are for order now. At first it said they were already sold out but I was persistent and was able to order two. I think you were right and they might go fast again. Usually I don't like notifications but I haven't minded yours. I appreciate what you do. So does my family they just don't realize it. I am going to be switching them off of Amazon devices I purchased for them in the past and if these onns work out, as I believe you in that they will, that's what they are going to be using now as I switch them out and say that they are the newest and best thing Lol. I have never passed down any of my Shields so they really don't know. Have a good day.

[@SS-zm3vi]

It took me a minute to figure out how get a USB splitter with Ethernet dongle and Ethernet working. The people who designed the Onn box for walmart set the micro USB port to charge only. But I got it working, this is what I did. Turn off wifi. Get into "developer options" and scroll down to "select USB configuration" switch it from "charging" to "RNDS (USB Ethernet)" go back scroll down and hit restart. When it powered back on with my OTG dongle connected with my USB 3 splitter with Ethernet, I now had an Ethernet connection and my USB keyboard also worked. It is now perfect. I also did not have any issues with external storage. Have fun

This is great! *QUESTION*. Is this only useful for moving apps to the adoptable storage? I want to use the extra memory to store downloaded files, movies, photos, etc. How do I copy these to the adoptable storage vs how they are currently default downloaded to internal storage?

[@troypoint]

Hello Guy, yes you can definitely do that. Just don't expand internal storage. Install Xplore File Manager from app store and you will see your USB drive with that.

[@GuyVinmara]

@@troypoint Thanks. So you mean it is either/or but not both. ?

[@Hideinacave]

Honest question. What's the point of adding external storage if you don't move Kodi etc on to it and you can't move Netflix etc on to it? I just deleted the other apps like prime 🤷

Excellent info, and EXCELLENTLY shown and described, THANK YOU, Subscribed. I have one of these, note to folks, if you use a separate google account for your device (as I do), be sure to log into it once in a while or somethnig, otherwise after a year or two, it'll be disabled. Happened to me and things weren't working on the ONN to add any apps, etc. Used the Resolve option for the account, got it restored, and all was well with it again. VERY frustrating there's NO ONN help other than for their actual ONN/Roku TVs. Lost my manual (couldn't figure what all the buttons were for, some icons meant nothing to me,. I think I've finally figured them all out, still not sure what the bookmark(?) button does/is for though... :) Also frustrating the the small round button with a TV on it jumps you to KZbin TV, and no way I've found of changing what they do, ditto for other bottom buttons, Netflix, etc. Rather than opening the box up and clipping the bottoms of the buttons, I expect I'll finally just remove the whole button, and put something over the holes to keep dust out. I often hit the Netflix button when trying to go forward or back in something playing. Lastly, I DO wish they'd include play/paust button as well as fast forward and back buttons, lots easier/more intuitive than clicking the "OK" button, then clicking it again to pause. And having to go down/over to jump ahead 10 seconds or back. Thanks for listening to my rant, again fantastic video, super info and super well explained, unlike many other tutorial videos.

[@frankgarone7283]

Great video. First problem I ran across with the updated ONN, is that it blocks you from setting a custom launcher as the default launcher. You can access wolf launcher, but no way to make it default. It prevents you from making it default in the launcher manager. I hope this isn't the start of Onn becoming like the Firestick

[@troypoint]

Thank you for all your wonderful tech videos over the years! I followed the instructions on your older "supercharged" video for the original $19 onn box and got it working exactly as you showed. That was the one where you had to type all them commands. I found the storage on that to be pretty unusable as far as running apps on it, just way too slow and laggy. Is the performance any better on this one compared to that? I know you kinda answered that in the video. I really don't see the point in expansion for the use of apps if you can't really use them. Great for adding your own music and videos! Thanks again!

[@troypoint]

Hi Dan, glad the last one worked for you! No, the storage isn't any better and I really don't advise doing this. Not sure why people need so many apps on their device anyway. I commonly use 5 apps and that is all I need to get everything.

Thanks Troy! Can you please do a video on how to hardwire the Onn device and have external storage?

[@txchristopherreed]

I'd think you should be able to do it the same as with the Fire Stick. Once the OTG cable is connected, instead of plugging the USB drive into the cable, plug in a USB ethernet adapter with USB hub. Then you can use the hub to plug in the USB drive and also use it for other external USB devices like a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard or such.

[@jeanilove2854]

I hooked up my new ONN to a Ugreen USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter and added a 128 GB flash drive. The ONN did not recognize the flash drive. Tried another drive with the same results. Analiti shows it running on Ethernet with VPN, so Ethernet part of hub works. I may have a bad hub.

Yes but keep in mind that you can still enable it and everything will work as it should. Just don't power off the device. Once it reboots, the USB will not show unless you turn off USB Debugging and then restart device again.

@@troypoint I like to configure my ONN boxes (old model) with the extended storage BUT autoload a custom launcher. Asking clients (who are not tech savvy to trun on this option wouldn't work. No way (like on the old android TV Box) to code it to recognize the additional storage?

[@troypoint]

Hello @cuecunerd OK, I just tried Wolf Launcher along with Launcher Manager and here's what I did. I installed both Wolf and Launcher Manager then I went in and enabled USB Debugging. Then, I set Wolf Launcher as default in Launcher Manager. Once I had Wolf set, I went back into Dev options and turned off USB Debugging, restarted device and everything works as it should. So, long story short...if you need USB Debugging, turn it on, make your changes, then turn it off.

Would this render the application useless or do I have to reboot multiple times to show storage after using application?

Good day I tried this steps on Xiaomi tv stick, the USB didn't appear. Can you assist if it's possible for the mentioned tv stick to add storage with USB.

[@dccavalier]

Fantastic Information but I still have a problem. I was able to add the storage on my own the other day. Everything looked fine, but I woke up the next morning to find that all of the sudden my flash drive was not connected and it was no longer flashing(the flash drive 3.0 has a light on it that flashes when in use) I read your instructions and tried to repeat the steps, but the device says USB Not Connected. I did what you said which was to turn off the USB debugging and then restart, but even after the restart it still read USB not connected. It’s possible I did something that might’ve affected all of this. I had downloaded the “K“ app and a few other apps directly to the device. After I added the external storage flash drive, I was able to move those apps to the flash drive. They seem to work OK over the next 12 hours and checking apps it recognized them as being on the flash drive. When I woke up this morning, I noticed that the apps were gone, and the flash drive was listed as not connected . After fiddling around with it a bit, I decided to go ahead and download those apps again expecting them to go to the device since it was not recognizing the flash drive as connected. I got messages for those four apps of “update” and not “download”. It now shows all the apps that I had download previously that I had moved to the flash drive were now back on the device. Any thoughts???? Thanks!

[@SS-zm3vi]

Micro USB connectors only transfer data at up to 480 Mbps (megabits per second), or up to 5 Gbps if the cable supports USB 3.0. That's honestly plenty fast enough for streaming and transferring files with the Onn box.

[@paulofreireslaw]

I haven't had good luck using those OTG cables, I get random reboots. This happens when plugged into the wall for power, not USB ports on the TV. It's almost like the stick stops getting enough power. Is there a hard-limit on storage size? I see there's a battery backup that you can put in-line w/ the OTG cable, but it's more expensive than this box and wondering if necessary. I'm surprised I don't see this brought up more often, with so many talking about expanding storage.

Can you use a mouse with a dongle and connect it to the OTG cable will the mouse work

[@earapeinnitlol3231]

Is it available in the UK?

[@bettoperu]

Is there a way to use the usb as external device to be able to add files from pc? I mean I don't want to use it as onn internal storage.

So does anyone know how to download and save movies to the usb thumb drive. I can tell ya it ain't like doing it on the firestick, with ADB shell and Total commander. I can download movies from the crew add on in Kodi and it goes to MX player Pro, but when i go to TC it shows up on the internal storage and there is no place to copy and past it to the usb. And ADB shell isn't recognized on the ONN Bummer. Is there a process to download on ONN?

I just ordered the same flash drive that got more GB do it have to be a certain GB the onn box is sold out but I'm waiting for it to get back in store

[@faceplantakaraybowman3501]

Can this be done on Onn 4k Pro?

[@troypoint]

Yes but you don't need the OTG cable as the Onn already has a USB port.

When I try to migrate to USB drive it says cannot migrate for some reason any clues on why this might be?

[@_Circus_Clapped_]

will this work with harddrives? like the Tb harddrives?

[@victorolvera6482]

Does it go the distance? I tried that same thing on the older model. It was cool but after a little while the drive got corrupted and lost everything that was on the drive. A bad experience cause I lost precious saved game data.
