Given that I have an USB 3.0 that I want to use to expand the storage, Would I be able to utilize the USB 3.0 speed if I used a USB hub 3.0 on my nexus player? or would it be limited to 2.0 speed by the NP itself? I already have a 2.0 usb hub, so I am wondering whether or not it's worth buying the 3.0 hub for it

The nexus player being 2.0 will be a bottle neck so you will not get 3.0 speeds (even with a 3.0 hub).

Update of my test results so far:
I tested via an USB 3.0 OTG cable
an USB 2.0 (7 port Belkin) and 3.0 Hub (10 port Anker) with USB-Sticks USB (2.0 and 3.0) all had FAT 32,
On the Belkin a max. of 4 sticks each 128 GB could be connected and all 4 plus the internal µSDXC could be accessed now with the Samsung and the ES-Explorer = 512 GB for books, music and film were available, the negative was after 3 h 50% of the power was gone . One time only 3 sticks were detected.
On the Anker Hub only 3 of 8 connected sticks were detected.
One of the sticks is USB 3.0 but is not detected as USB 3.0 device when directly connected to the USB 3.0 OTG cable.
WTF is the USB 3.0 port good for if no USB 3.0 memory devices are detected/available on the Note as USB 3.0 device?
SInce my Note is not rooted I could not try the NTFS access.

Thank you, I only found ones that mention root required. Do you know of one that doesn't require root?
Do you have an idea where the natively supported filessystems/version are documented?

Nope, sorry. I found out it wasn't supported by plugging in my 1Tb 2.5" HDD. Powered it noproblem but said usb blank or unsupported file system....
Have to see if I can find an app to get it working as it would definitely be a good thing to have....
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.

Check out the USB plug. See the blue plastic insert? Denotes SS super drives. Huge transfer speeds

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

I'm using a Ugreen OTG cable. I bought the 2 pack. The usb 3.0 hub is from Inateck. Links are below.

I haven't been able to transfer files over usb 3.0 from my computer to my phone. It works perfectly over 2.0, but only charges in the 3.0 port. I ordered a usb 3.0 select from monoprice, updated 3.0 drivers on my motherboard, and installed lg firmware for Windows and have still had no luck. Anyone else been able to make it happen?
Stock ROM? Using the factory cord? In a usb 3.0 port? and Using MTP (File trasnfer) mode on the phone?
Completely stock phone/rom, but the cable is a monoprice 3.0 select series. In my experience, it'll usually still connect to a 3.0 port, but transfer at 2.0 if there's a non 3.0 component in the chain. It doesn't even show in explorer. Yeah, regular file transfer. It's flawless in a 2.0.port.

If you still have the stock cable, try it. If that solves your problem, then you know its the cord.
It's a 3.0 phone, but for some odd reason it ships with a 2.0 cable. The 2.0 cables work fine in the 2.0 ports, the 3.0 cable works in the 2.0 ports, but for some reason the 3.0 port isn't even doing backwards compatibility on any cable. Just charging.
I know it says that Axon7 has USB 3.0 on Gemarena and Phonearena, but do all variants have USB 3.0?(U , G and Chinese)If not which one of them has USB 3.0?
I've got the Chinese variant and I wanted to make sure that it has USB 3.0 before I buy a usb 3 Type-C cable for transferring data.
And which USB 3.0 Type-C cables (5Gbps) are the best?
What about USB 3.1 cables (Gen2)(10Gbps)?Do I get any extra speed if I use them with Axon 7 since it only supports USB 3.0?
all variants have USB3. there are identical in hardware
you can't get extra speed with an USB3.1 cable
