[Q] Charge galaxy S4 via UB 3.0? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I searched on google and here, in XDA and I didn't find anything saying about galaxy S4 charging from USB 3.0
Question is...Can I connect my galaxy S4 via usb 3.0? Will I burn it or not?

I use the USB 3.0 ports on my MacBook Pro to charge all the time. No issues.

USB 3 port on siyah kernel....

Hello guys. I just want know that which is USB 3 port for charging galaxy s3. My pc have 4 USB port at back & 2 USB port on front. What which is the USB 3 port for USB charging on siyah kernal. Thanx
What? Use any port on your computer to charge your phone, kernel doesn't matter. Sorry if I'm mistaken just confused by your 'question'.
your PC needs to have USB 3.0 ports.. USB 2.0 Ports won't be of any help if you are planning on using 900mA for USB charging on siyah's kernel.

No. Charge with any USB port is normal for everyone. But with siyah kernal & with USB 3 port it increase the charging speed which is not normal. Its great benefit with USB 3 port.

Don't shoot me if i'm wrong but I believe the colour of the usb 3.0 ports are blue instead of the white used on usb 2.0 ports.

Well in that case yeah, USB 3.0 will charge faster than 2.0, but it doesn't matter what kernel you use, 5v 900ma is standard for usb 3.0 vs 500ma for 2.0. Unless the phone is restricted to a certain charge rate.
Also, I've been using siyah kernel for some time now and do notice even with USB 2.0 if you set it to 900ma usb charge it does charge faster. About 1% a minute compared to 1% per 5 minutes.
thanx all. I confirmed & my problem solved.
Need to set something or simply plug into USB3?
hello, I'm new user of custom fw (Criskelo ROM) on my gt-i9300 and I'm using syiah kernel, so I would like to use charging by USB3 on my PC.
Is it needed to set something in phone or faster charging will be automatic?
You have to set the USB charge current in STweaks. 900mA would be safe
Ok. Thanx, but where can I find STweaks? I tried to google it, but didnt find it....

yes but it will be slower charging
USB3.0 is just MicroUSB with an extra slot beside it. The USB3.0 is in the extra slot.
Stick the plug in the right side of the USB3.0 port (the bigger opening).

Why?
USB 3.0 is usually ment for a faster data transfer. Is this responsible for a fast charging?

It gives the option for faster charging if implemented in the device....it isn't in the note 3 so you won't see any difference in charging speed
Any micro usb charger will work fine.....always shower off a computer usb port unless you have a kernel that supports the force fat charge option
So it means we can use routine car charger during driving for charging note 3?

Yes, any micro USB charger will work. I have used the one that came with my shaver without any problems
No issue, able to reach full charged in about 2hrs+.

If you are using an MHL adaptor that works with an S2, it won't work as the pin outs are different.

Nope s3 cable willnot work buy s4 cable
S3 mhl cable can only produces 1080/30p, go for S4 cable which is 1080/60p.

Incorrect, as the poster above mentions. S3 cable will be limited to MHL 1.0 spec output as given, S4 cable does MHL 2.0 spec output as given in the above post.

Thanks guys I know it would work but would it charge fast as 3.0 usb speed not 2.0
Any 5.3V, 2A adapter will work. I also use an HP TouchPad charger to charge my Note 3 at full speed, just as fast as the Samsung charger. As for the cable, as long as it can handle 2A it doesn't matter if you use 2.0 or 3.0 - the 3.0 charging advantage only affects charging on PC.
