[Q] USB 3.0 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to allow the USB 3.0 to stay on longer than 4 minutes? I will be transferring things to the SD card and it will disconnect on its own and I have to start over in 2.0 mode

Hi, I transfer big files, movies and pictures and the usb 3.0 keeps enabled. What I have noticed is tha if yoy leave your phone connected with no activity for a few minutes, rhe usb 3.0 connections resets to 2.0, but only if you dont transfer data for a period of time.
Does your rollback to 2.0 happens even if you transfer data to the phone?

[Q] how to disable USB PC CONNECTION?

So here is what I'm trying to do... I want to disable the usb pc connection, because I have noticed that my phone charges very slow when connected to the computer, compared to when I have it charging to the wall outlet...
is there anyway to disable this feature so that I can just have my phone charging through the computer without enabling the pc connection?
I know on older previous versions of Android, when plugged to a computer you would get prompt with some options to choose (mass storage, kies, charge only, etc)
Is there anything similar available for the i337?

The data connection to the PC isn't causing slow charging.
Your PC's USB port most likely only puts out 0.5A, while the wall charger puts out 2A. (my numbers may not be exact, but the theory is the same).
Exactly as stated above. USB 2.0 only allows 500ma of charging power vs 2.0amps (2000ma) for the charger that is supplied with the S4.
I wish phone makers would start getting with USB 3.0 Standard. If they had a 3.0 connector on the USB cables supplied, USB 3.0 can supply up to 1.5amps, and potentially up to 5amp.
As an aside: the SGS4 only allows for MTP and PTP connections...
There is a way to allow Mass Storage mode, but I wouldn't recommend it, so I won't provide any more details on that.

Samsung Galaxy S5 USB 3.0 Not connecting

Hey guys, quick question for those of you with the s5, and the usb 3.0 cable.
I am trying to transfer files from my windows 7 pc. with the usb 3.0 cable.
USB 2.0 works just fine, I switch over to usb 3.0, and the phone immediately dissapears from my pc.
Switch back to 2.0, and it reappears.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Maybe you have a faulty usb 3.0 cable. Try with a different usb 3.0 cable. If it's not the cable try on different computer. After that remains only one possibility: a faulty usb connector which means service. BTW you have usb 3.0 drivers installed on your w7?

Yeah i have a problem with the usb 3.0 too..
When i connect my phone via usb 2.0 it works fine but when i connect it via the usb 3,0 its still only shows up as a usb 2.0 device and the both only charge at 98ma :-/ brand new usb 3.0 cable. unistalled usb 3.0 drivers still no luck.

I've got this issue as well....
except when I attempt it on my work PC with W7 x64 it works in USB2.0 and USB3.0 mode. At home on my W7 x64 build it shows up under my computer in USB2.0 mode but disappears when switching to USB3.0 mode....
tried reinstalling drivers and all that jazz and no luck.
tried two USB3.0 cables and neither work on my home rig. i'm stumped
Plug in another USB 3.0 device such as a memory stick into your computer to determine whether the issue originates from the phone/USB cable or your computer. From what you described we cannot identify the root cause!

I had this issue too, then found it was my motherboard being the issue, i turned xHCI to on instead of auto (in the BIOS) and now when i connect my S5 with USB 3.0 cable the option for that mode will show on the phone.
Auto should work but it didn't seem to allow the S5 to trigger it, maybe because the S5 defaults to USB 2.0 and then you say to it to use USB 3.0
I do notice when switching modes the phone will vasish from the computer and then after a moment or 3 show up again

fiddled with bios settings on ASUS mobo... still no luck
a) Click on “Start” and Right Click on “Computer” and select “Manage”.
b) Now select “Device Manager” and Right Click on the individual “USB controller drivers” and select “Uninstall”.
c) Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
if the cable is a cheap one that claimed to be usb 3.0 from eBay bin it and buy one from a decent retailer or Samsung
thanks for the ideas, tried device manager uninstall and reboot. still no luck. I"m using the provided samsung usb 3.0 cable so no issues there. very frustrating I cant use my phone connection to it's full potential

Old thread I know but here is what seems is the answer.
It seems when first connecting the usb it always defaults to usb2, but then can goto the usb settings on the phone afterwards and switch to media usb3 mode. I have not found a way to make it default to usb3 mode.

Appreciate the post but the issue wasnt actually switching into usb3 mode. That I knew how to do, it was that when I do switch the phone to USB3 mode it disappears from my file explorer and I cannot access the phone storage media unless I switch back to USB2 and then it pops up again in file explorer. I still havent found a solution and have come to the conclusion it is a hardware issue likely tied to my motherboard and have just accepted it and used it in it's limited form
I don't even see any option on my S5 to switch to USB3.....
Is this option device-specific?? I have the international version SM-G900H
Edit: never mind....the cable I had was a fake....
I tested my S5 with a cable from a USB 3.0 external hdd and it worked...

So are you saying that if the cable is faulty (or in other words, USB 3.0 is not achievable with the current connection) that the USB 3.0 option simply does not appear on the phone? That may explain why I am also only seeing MTP or PTP with a 3.0 cable and hub
Reading these replies and I still don't have a solution.
I have a Lenovo P50 ThinkPad and I normally connect my S5 via USB 2.0, but I'm wanting to transfer about 20gb of files off my microSD card to my machine. When I connect with 2.0, I can't even get the entire folder to show in the navigator window.
I tried to connect to the 3.0 ports, which I use with my external HDD with no problems. I'm even using the same cable.
And yes, it's a legit 3.0 cable.
Still no solution...
Did you find a solution?

[Q] Slow transfer speed

I thought the note 3 was going to be fast since it has usb 3.0 and all that?
I connected it to my front usb 3.0 port and it takes 8 and a half minutes to transfer a 2GB movie onto the sdcard which is a sandisk sdxc class 10 64GB stick while it takes 1-2 minutes when i connect it to my usb 3.0 card reader... how come it's so darn slow through the phone?
The motherboard im using is a Asus maximus VI hero
Is the phone in USB 3.0 MTP mode?
Also, the data is directed through phone motherboard, longer route means longer time (data transfer speed is also affected by the read/write capability of the SD slot on the phone).

Copy it onto the internal and you will notice how much faster it is. With usb 3 mode selected.

There should be some issue, either with your SD card or phone. Test copying same file into internal memory and then into card by usb 3.
I don’t have USB 3 in my PC and I always use 2.0 but transferring a 2GB video file by usb 2.0 never took over 2-3 minutes. By OTG cable from flash drive to sd card, same time. Even over wifi it doesn’t take that much time.
So try formatting the SD card and then input all data and test. I don’t think this will resolve, and you much check with Samsung service center.

After connecting the phone, did you set the phone to USB 3.0 mode?
MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) is the mode to transfer data between PC and phone.
When you connect the phone to USB, the phone is in USB 2.0 MTP mode. You have to pull down notification bar, open the USB notification and switch to USB 3.0.

[Q] USB Media Mode and Charging

I have a new desk job and I've been abusing the new T-Mobile free music data to listen to Pandora all day which is killing my battery.
When I plug my Note 3 into a USB 3 Port it defaults to USB 2 mode. I know I can go to "USB computer connection" in settings and change it to "Media device (USB 3.)" to get it to change over. Does the fact that I have to manually change it over to USB 3 for data mean that I'm also not getting USB 3.0 900mA to charge with?
An additional frustration is that it is hard to test that because if I don't use the USB 3.0 to transfer data then it eventually "falls back" to USB 2 mode automatically. Is there any way to make it stay USB 3 when plugged into USB 3?
Thanks!
It defaults to 2.0 because a lot of computers and laptops that people have dont always have usb 3.0, if you can do it you have the option to switch

Fair enough, but it seems like the Note has the ability to detect that it is plugged into a USB 3 port because it only offers the USB 3 media mode when it is.
Also, any ideas on whether the data mode affects the ability to charge at the higher USB 3 900mA instead of the USB 2 500mA?

[Q] wireless charging, can you connect to PC also?

so that i can copy over files/use side sync if needs be but also charge the phone properly and not slowly by connecting it to a PC usb port?
can you have the charging pad connected to a plug but also have the phone connected to a PC via USB for this?
i can't enable wifi since i always have my home BB maxed out and always use LTE
No

what happens if it's connected to a PC via USB and mounted and you then place it on a wireless charger?
seems stupid to have this tech, but have to go back to plugging in cables to copy data over. if you do that a lot then wireless charging is pointless no?
Use airdroid, it has a lot of uses.
Fried an otg flash drive that I placed on my charging pad while transferring pics.

problem is, i'd need to use wifi and that's what i'm not going to do. i upload PC backups via LTE and copying files to my phone over wifi would be slower than USB.
guess i'm stuck on cabled charging until everyone else copies what apples bringing out soon.
