[Q] Does usb tethering on note3 use usb 3.0 mode?

Can you guys check the NDIS ethernet link speed on your PC when connecting your phone in usb tethering mode through a usb 3.0 port?
I'd like to here from owners of both the exynos and snapdragon version.
Just go to: Network and Sharing Center> Change adapter settings right click on the Remote NDIS connection and select status and
you can see the connection speed in the status window which in case of my xperia z shows as 480Mbps (exactly the speed of usb 2.0)
I'm planning to buy a tablet and the reason I'm asking this is to find a solution for playing with my PC through the tablet just like nvidia shield streaming.
I'm currently thinking of waiting for the Galaxy Note Pro and connecting it with a usb 3.0 cable in usb tethering mode
to my PC and create a 5Gbps ethernet connection between the note and the pc and stream using splashtop.

Anyone?

I am using W8 and the USB stays @2.0. The high-speed 3.0 is kinda unstable on 4.3, I will let you know how it works under 4.4.2.
Also,the 3.0 is not even used by Kies!!!!!
Boshe?

Tethering/MTP it doesn't matter.
For 3.0 mode you need to select a different option.

What's with the charging cable?

Anybody figure out why the both charging port and charging cable that the phone comes with, have what looks like a double plug? One is a common micro USB port, and it seems that I can charge the phone with any old Android charger, as it will fit in this port. The other kind of looks like a USB port that you'd see on a digital camera. Just wondering what this is for, and why the provided cable has both.
Thanks in advance!

It's a USB 3.0 port and cable. It allows for faster data transfer speeds when connected to a USB 3.0 port on a computer.
It's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, which is why you can also use the other cables with the phone.

You are half correct.... The right side is the micro usb port the left side is MHL 2.0, another version of HDMI out. You need a $13 adapter for this to work. Why Samsung put both on the same cable beats me.

Not true.
MHL works through the standard microUSB portion of the plug, just like it does on many other devices. The additional thinner side is to accommodate the changes for USB 3.0. The Note 3 was the first phone to use a USB 3.0 cable and have a USB 3.0 Micro-B port on the device, and Samsung is following suit with the S5. Samsung has been supporting MHL 2.0 since the S4, which only had a standard microUSB port, so there was no need to switch to a new port design just for that. And if you look at the MHL adapter you mentioned, it has a standard microUSB plug. The HTC One, HTC One Max, and HTC One (M8) (among other devices) also have MHL 2.0, and do so through a standard microUSB port. The extended port on the S5 (and Note 3) is for USB 3.0. It's not there for MHL.
And the Engadget review that you linked doesn't support your post, rather it just notes that the port supports MHL (which it supports it through the standard microUSB portion of the port).

Interesting. I got my $12 adapter in today and sure nuff, it is usb port only. Thanks, now I find this out I think that is stupid of Samsung to put the USB 3.0 extension as another port. Not that I use it that often....

There was no other way for them to add USB 3.0 functionality to the device while allowing backwards compatibility with microUSB 2.0. They wanted everyone to have the option of still being able to use their old microUSB 2.0 cables along with a different USB 3.0. I think it was definitely the right move instead of introducing a completely new plug that's not backwards compatible.
That said, a new USB 3.0 plug is coming that's not backwards compatible with USB 2.0 microUSB cables. It's been recently approved, but I'm not sure when we'll start seeing it on the devices.

Did you also enable the superspeed option in the bios? Did you install the USB 3.0 driver in your OS?
If all of them are not met, your hardware will only run at USB 2.0 speed.

Just check your bios and search for the usb options where you can adjust the parameters.

it won't charge any faster. and to enable usb3 once you plug your phone in you have to go to the notifications screen and touch the usb options and enable usb 3, it will only stay on for 10 minutes before turning itself off.
u get fast transfer speeds transferring to the internal memory, but the sd card is usually slower

mine won't charge any faster. and file transfer is not noticeably faster using usb 3.0

Whats the Usb for?

I have not seen or heard what the micro usb will be used for on the NP....

The ADT-1 has a USB port and all it can be used for is a keyboard/mouse currently. I'd kill for OTG support. That said though, the ADT-1 also comes with a splitter for the power that adds an additional USB port to connect to your computer to access it via the SDK. So, it could be very much the same setup, or something completely different.

Interesting... You would think they would list the use for it.. maybe these OTG cables i have will come in handy..

It's been said that usb to ethernet adapters will work.

You can connect an OTG cable to it. I connected a USB 3.0 HUB + Ethernet adapter to the OTG cable and connected my keyboard & mouse to the hub and a 64 GB micro SD card for extra storage. I also used the the ethernet port so now I don't need to connect through WiFi

[Answer] For everybody struggling to flash TWRP (max size error, etc...)

Use a USB 2.0 port. I had that problem because my laptop doesn't have a USB 2.0 port (only USB 3).
If like me your laptop doesn't have a USB 2 port, then use a different laptop, or desktop, or USB hub (doesn't matter if the hub is plugged in the USB3 port as long as the plug's ports are USB2).
This took me a while to figure out, so I thought I'd spare you guys the pain of trial and error.
Enjoy.

I bought a new self build PC a few months ago. Had the same ports issue occurring while installing Windows.
Seems to be a problem with deeper settings of Windows or something but there should be people here who now more than me.

I've flashed twrp on both usb 3.0 and 2.0 without any issues. Maybe it's something to do with the pc drivers?

I'm using OpenSuse (gnu-linux) as my main operating system, but Windows (on the same pc) gave me the exact same results. So I doubt it's a drivers issue. In any case, I'm glad you didn't have to use a USB hub like some of us less lucky folks ?
