I have a pinephone. It does not recognize any USB device and I have tried multiple USB drives, mice, keyboards etc. I have also tried multiple different distros, manjaro, debian pmOS. I currently have Manjaro Phosh installed on the EMMC. Can someone tell me how to mount a drive so the pinephone will recognize it?
while you have the dock connected and the usb stick to it, if you run from terminal:
lsblk -f
do you see it in the list like sda or sda1 or maybe different in your case ?
if yes, then the simplest way would be to use
udisksctl mount -b /dev/sda1
but did you used the Disks application and see if is listed there and mount it from there?
I have no problems to connect a mouse. What images have you used? Same problem on Plamo too for you?
Eventually install
pamac install usbutils
and then run
lsusb
to see what is recognizing there

Ok I’ll give that a shot. I have installed Gnome Disks and it does not show up there. I worry that it is a hardware issue but interestingly enough, when I plug it into my computer, it automatically starts using the phone as a hotspot.
Ive tried PmOS, Mobian, Manjaro Plasma, and currently on Manjaro Phosh.
I installed usbutils, ran lsusb with and without a usb drive in the port, and both times it showed the same mount points. Do you have anything else I can try?
Thank you
Can you test the USB-C dock on another device and with a USB Stick connected to it, does it work?
yes, i have multiple and confirmed they both work with my computer
