Hello,
Curious on the following..
1. Note 3's SD card is it able to read / write Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro speeds?
2. Wireless charge is it faster or slower than wire?
Thanks!

1. Don't know.
2. Slower. I have used wireless charging with a Nexus 4 & Samsung Galaxy S4, both were faster with the wire charging, it will of course be the same for any wireless charging as long as efficiency is lower than for wire. I think any electrical engineer or physicist will predict that equals forever.
Qi charging seems to be the same for all transmitters & receivers (as far as I know). Since the Note 3 stock charger has an output of 2 amps I expect the difference to be larger than with the Nexus 4, plus the Note 3 battery needs more power to be full.

I know the note 3 uses the USB 3.0 with 2 slot. I am wondering anyone dear to try charging with the older cable which the micro usb? My coworks all use that cable. If it work i dont need to use the new cable hehe. Thank you for your information.
It is designed to be able to charge with the old cables as well, as long as it is microusb

I am using the note 2 accessories like dock, charging cable etc work note 3. All work perfectly fine. Samsung had done a great job at keeping compatibility with older dock ,cables etc for note 3.

The USB charger charges the phone faster. Also data transfer with a computer is faster as well.

The USB 3.0 & micro usb charge the phone at same rate. I have not found charging any faster. Data transfer yes is definitely fast when connected to a pc

Agreed, I thought I could use the usb to charge the phone quicker than usb2.0 but even if you activate the usb3.0 settings, charge time is still the same as 2.0. I.e. Ages! If you plug directly into wall socket, takes a few hours

the only difference with the new USB 3.0 microUSB adapter cable is that it transfer data faster when you use it
you can do everything the same with the regular USB 2.0 microUSB adapter cable, it's sooooo convenient, backward compatible with all the old devices
And it charges faster because the included charging dongle has an output of 2 amps.

Works perfectly fine, I've been using my old HTC HD2 cable (now there's nostalgia..) to charge it without issue.
The right slot of an USB3.0 socket is actually just a MicroUSB slot. It's the left pin that is the USB3.0 part.
l usethe old micro USB and it's working

The charging rate is the same as note 2 ( which also came with the 2 amp charger) . It takes about 2hrs and 30mins to go from 5% to full 100% charge.
Better yet buy an external OEM charger with a battery . Awesome!

Yes it is original and not a copy. Have 2 of them. But think they were the early release ones with MICRO USB charging port. The ones that arrived later ate usb 3.0
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk
I use 2.0 exclusively to charge.
I don't have a usb 3.0 device.
I solved the battery issue by buying an oem
spare battery from Samsung here in the UAE.
Thing is the dock isn't out yet so I have to charge the first battery in the phone, then swap it with the spare battery & charge it in the phone.
It's a bit of a hassle because I have to make sure battery A is full charged, then plug in battery B before finally sleeping.

The one and only Note 3 ever released always had USB 3.0, hence it is not Note 3 OEM

I do not recommend using the supplied charger with the Galaxy Note 3
After using an older style micro usb 2.0 charger on my Note 3 I realized that the older Samsung charger either had lower amperage or voltage output than the supplied cable. The stock cable does charge very fast which seems awesome. But if u use a 2.0 cable it will take significantly longer to charge but you will notice the battery charge lasts A LOT longer! I NEVER use the stock cable anymore unless hooking up to a computer. I searched and searched and am suprised noone else has mentioned this.
With the Note 3 being picky about chargers, and how much power it will draw from them:
Is there an app, or other means, to see at what speed the Note 3 is currently charging? Preferably something useful in a shop, when choosing between chargers.
Edit: I should have checked the Play Store beforehand I see, as there are several apps that seem to be useful.

But is this app accurate/compatible with the note 3? I too get 1250 charging rate on note 3, but it takes almost the exact same amount of time to charge as my note 2 with the app showing 1800.
To me, this suggests it is not showing the correct rate with the note 3.

From looking at several apps they all (crudely) estimate what the charging current is. I couldn't find an indication elsewhere either (Note 3 Settings menu, AndroSensor, SystemPanel). This could mean that the real value can only be gauged through a modified kernel/ROM.
Edit: i will check if any of these "charging current" apps are any use for (quickly) judging chargers in a shop.
I recently just bought a tablet and i wanted to just carry around 1 USB outlet adaptor instead of 2,
so im wondering if it is safe to use the tablet adaptor (5.3V/2A) for my nexus 4 (stock adaptor 5.0V/1.2A).
Thanks!
I wouldn't recommend it. Stick with the Nexus 4 adapter. While you might think they are very identical; just because it charges ur device doesn't mean you should use it. Different smartphones and tablets have different volt requirements; too many volts from the charger and the gadget fries, too few and the device will take forever to charge.

Is that feature packed entirely in the Battery or is it built into the phone?
So if I buy extra batteries (official of course) Will they get that fast charge bonus in an external charge case?
(ie the note 4 version of this http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-K800BUWESTA )
the quick charge isnt built into the battery it is built into the qualcomm 800+ chips
ahh ok.
thanks for that answer.
Will it work with wireless charging assuming there is a wireless back cover?
I just went to a note 4 roadshow in Montreal and for the fast charging you need the Note 4 charger. It will charge at regular speed with other chargers. Not sure if the Note 4 charger works with other phones.

Did you see the amp of the note 4 charger?
Note 4 charger will still be micro usb so it should work. The key is the fast charge is built into the qualcomm 800+ chips which allows it to accept. Higher voltage rates...I could be wrong. It's partially the reason I have note 3 and note 12.2

Read somewhere that quick charge in note 4 is samsungs own implementation via charger, so it would work on both soc
I picked up my Moto Z Force at Best Buy on Thursday. I couldn't pass up their deal. Getting this phone for $524 with the JBL SoundBoost speaker is awesome. I compared to regular Z before buying and the Force felt better in my hand (plus it has some great other upgrades). I'm loving the phone. I upgraded from a Droid Turbo and it is a significant jump up.
Several questions:
1. With my Droid Turbo when ever I connected to a Quick Charge 2 device (battery, car charger, and wall usb charger) the phone would indicate with a message that I was turbo charging. With the Moto Z Force I'm not getting a message with my bought Quick Charge 3 battery, car charger, and wall usb charger (Anker and Aukey). With the Force I'm only getting the "TurboPower Connected" message when I use the supplied wall charger. Is there anyway to confirm I'm charging at Quick Charge 3 speeds with my other devices? I'm hoping this can be done via software on phone.
2. It has been a while since I have used a micro sd card in phone. I'm loving I can do this with Moto Z even though getting card out is kind of pain in ass and you need special tool as well. I have the 200gb Sandisk Ultra Micro SD which I picked up a while back on sale for $50. Read speeds on this card are decent but write speeds are pretty slow. I'm noticing that speeds are significantly slower transferring large files to phone (with card in it) with cord vs. pulling card and doing with memory card reader. Is this normal? Is there any way to improve these speeds?
3. I'm looking for a good ultra thin case. I would like to add the least amount bilk and weight possible. I picked up a TPU case on amazon but it a bit bulky. Ideally I would like to get a thin polycarbonate case like Spigen's Thin Fit. Does anyone here know of a case like this for the Z Force?
Thanks!

"Turbo Charging" is proprietary. I have a QC3 chargeer that also does 3 amps. It doesn't say anything, as you mentioned, and both charge at the same rate.
1. I don't think these phones even support QC. The turbo chargers that come with the phones have it built in to work only with these phones, but they do push out decent charge for other phones as well. There was an app that measures how much charge you're getting, but I haven't tested it myself.
2. There is a tool that comes in the box to push out the micro sd slot. I'd say check to see if you formatted the card correctly for fastest transfer speeds. These phones are one of the few that actually support micro sd as true internal storage
Just picked up the Force on Thursday at VZW. Found the Best Buy deal. Called VZW they refused and would not compete.
Taking the other Z back to the store.
In just a day have to say the force is the way. Feels SOLID AND Clean. IMO

Interesting. All this time I thought that every device that had the Snapdragon 820 had QC 3.0. My bad. I have a Quick Charge 3 battery, car charger, and addition wall usb charger and was really hoping to charge at these faster speeds. I will do testing to see how they compare in speed to charger that came with phone. I'm also having problems finding Moto 30-watt Turbopower chargers anywhere on-line.
Memory card is formatted correctly (exFAT). Much slower speeds transferring files to card in phone vs memory card reader on same USB 3.0 jack.
Thanks!
I can tell you that I have both the Z and the Z force and neither will go into "turbo" mode with a QC 3.0 charger. Weird thing is that my Nexus 6p charger will put them both into Turbo mode. Odd.
