USB OTG in Xperia neo V is limited for I/O devices only (for unrooted phone). Since USB storage require high Power for transferring data between the devices, its not possible to use pendrives directly with otg cable on Neo V.

To use them you need to root your phone so that you can make the decision and control of the device.

you can connect Pendrives only to Rooted Neo V, but this me void your phone warranty .
