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..

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?
hi first i am a noob and learning meanings of terms used.
I have looked at threads with similar titles but they appear to be having a different issue.
Back ground history.
My SD card ext fried with all its data so I decided to go down the route of using an usb stick for storage. I am currently waiting to receive a usb 2.0 stick which can both be plugged directly into the phone or via my otg cable.
In the meantime my Problem has been experienced connecting a usb 3.0 stick to an otg cable. My phone does not recognise that the usb stick is connected. The otg cable is ok. I have used it to type on a keyboard. Previously.
When I plug the otg cable in the symbols come up at the top left corner of my phone showing that a usb connector is plugged in. I go to look at my storage and there is mo usb there. My usb debugging is ticked. if i have a look under usb tethering the option to tick is muted as it dirsnt recognise the usb is connected.
I did briefly see a suggestion somewhere that it could be a kernel problem but have been unable to locate the thread that this comment referred to.
I have a note 3
sm-n9005
a couple of days ago I managed to root it using towel root and downloading a link via this forum to revert the kernel to an earlier one so towel root would work. I then followed the link instructions to install the second kernel. The root appeared to work without too much problem. i ran root checker after and it said all was ok.
I am unsure whether the root has any relevance to the problem as when I google the usb stick is not recognised there are heaps of similar problems. Unfortunately though I have read many of the threads I still cant find an answer that helps me.
Could you nicely give me some advice. Thanking you
How was the USBstick formatted? Android can't use NTFS, you need to format it as FAT32 or ExFAT.
Well I was prepared to look extremely abashed on reading your question to me reformatting. luckily abashment could be deferred this time.
On looking at the usb stick it was formatted as a fat32. So I tried the other type of formatting you suggested. It still was not recognised.
The computer could recognise it.
My friend had a usb stick 2.0 which I then plugged in. a eureka moment was experienced. Mass storage message appeared.
So the problem appears to be with usb stick 3.0
I know the otg cable was originally designed for the 2.0, my understanding is that it is also supposed to work with 3.0
Any thoughts of why not?
Btw still havnt figuered out how to use the forums thank you process (where it is located?) Would love advice with that as well.
Thank you

USB 3.0 is actually USB2.0, the small addition on the side is the 3.0 part. It's completely backwards compatible.
It could also be an issue with the OTG cable itself. Do you have any other device to test the OTG cable with? (Tablet, etc)
Oh, the thanks button is located bottom left of a post, at the bottom underneath the poster information.
Thanks for the reply. I guess this will remain a mystery. I must admit to scratching my head about the possibility of it being an otg cable problem as the phone recognises when the cable has been plugged in and the cable works with both keyboard and usb stick 2.0
All I can think of is that elusive past post referenced on xda forum that referred to kernel issues.
Many thanks for your responses. (Still cant find thanks button) could be because I am using phobe as I dont have a p.c.
Hi everybody,
I want to know if USB OTG is working on Stock rom. I´ve installed Cydras rom which works very fine,but no OTG due to connect my music Stick.
Is this a rom issue or a general?
thnx for your answer

HI
I tried almost all the Roms and its working even in twrp mod
The problem must be the adapter
On cydras rom, I confirm the OTG working. Its something on your end.

If your music stick identifies as MTP, it wont work with any OTG supported Android phone. Any device you connect should identify as Removable Storage device to work perfectly.
I use Cydras rom and OTG doesn't work. But maybe I didn't use a good cable. On the old phone when I connected to PC it shows 3 options, usb storage, media device mtp and camera ptp. With X720 I have only Media device MTP and Camera PTP. There is no USB Storage option.

I meant to say, the storage device you want to connect to Le Pro 3 should identify as Portable Storage device only (like those flash drives from Kingston, A-Data, SanDisk etc).
2ndly use a direct Type-C TO OTG converter. Don't use the Type - C to Micro USB to OTG converter (thats two converter adapters in a row and mostly the Type-C to Micro USB converters out there lack the common connection necessary for OTG.
I used 2 convertors. I have to buy a Type-C TO OTG converter and see later. Thanks
Thanks Guys, I´v solved the problem.
It was the adaptor (!!!) from Micro USB (OTG cable) to Micro-C.
Now I bought a Stick (64GB) from ADATA including OTG, micro-C and normal USB 3.1 connectors. Everything works fine and no OTG-cable.
Listening (headphone) and streaming music (in car) using V4a sounds very good.
have a nice WE
I solved too, bought a proper adapter.
Cascading two adapters for OTG is hit or miss. A reasonable quality USB-C host adapter is like $2-3 from Amazon, so not much point cobbling something together.
I have no luck getting devices to show or mount within Stock B27.
Flash Drive LEDs will blink upon booting up but then nothing after the phone is fully booted.
We know that OTG works fine on the Axon 7.
I know my hardware/adapter is mounting USB devices and works fine within TWRP.
I'm on Stock B27 by DrakenFX
Rooted
Unlocked Bootloader
Write Protection Disabled
Am I all alone? Any tips?
What devices are you trying to connect to your phone?
I had some issues at first, but realized I had to wait a bit longer for the phone to analyze the USB sticks or external 2.5in USB drives or external 3.5in USB drives.
When I plugged one in, it would show the little OTG symbol for something is connected, but the phone would be thinking for awhile before it would actually show up as a drive.
Have you tried a different rom? See if it's just a stock issue?

I haven't tried any other ROMs yet. I prefer to stay stock because aside from the OTG it works great and it's my daily driver. I may update to Nougat after a week or so. Kinda letting the update dust settle.

I tried several devices, Flash Drives, Portable HDDs, SD Card readers, etc.
I've also tried plugging my 1GB flash drive in and restarting device.... waiting.... and no luck.
I'm under the impression it's something within the OS just not enabled/
I have the svae problem on Chinese device with European B09 rom.
Tried to connect through the adapter that comes included, and no response.

Do you get the little OTG symbol that says something is connected when you plug anything to it?
I also had a problem once, which turned out to be a faulty adapter.
I've tried three different adapters (including the one that comes with the A7). I see the flash drives LEDs blink upon boot up but not after phone is fully powered up.
I was getting the contents on flash drives on Twrp but now I can't get that. Not sure what I've done differently, but I'll keep digging.

I'm on stock B10 (A2017G) and have successfully used an OTG type C cable to transfer files to an external 3.0 HDD. It was fully powered by the phone.
You will need a USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Adapter to get it work, devices won't work attached to a normal USB-C to Micro USB Adapter. Neither with the adapter comes with the phone nor with an aftermarket (56K resistor) adapter.

This is what DrakenFX recommends and works for him. This is also what I am using. It's definitely a software bottleneck somewhere in my case at least.
The USB-C to USB 3.0 Adapter I got is the one below:

Does the G6 support USB otg? The reason I'm asking I bought a borescope camera and can't see to get it to work. Camera only cost $10 and if I can get this working I can sell my $1300 Snap-On camera that is the same thing
Same thing? Really?
I think he's basically referring to storage and photo quality together
Yes it is support usb otg

Meaning I can use it to look through spark if hole or injector nozzle to see cylinder walls. Resolution should be almost identical except I have a HD+ screen on my phone that may help it look a little better.

Did you pick up an otg adapter dongle? The one I have is the "Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter".
No but I'll definitely pick one up.

At the top of the screen from the notification area, it showed USB icon and you can click on it to see files.
I didn't found solution for my problem, and i think there is no need to open new topic, but if you know - help me!
From purchase my H870I had a problem with USB OTG.
When memory card micro SD is inserted and mounted, everything is working properly.
When I connect USB OTG USB adapter with USB flash drive, or USB OTG memory card reader, then in notification area is "Android System - Reading USB Drive" all time.
In System settings - storage
is the information about internal memory and and memory card capacity and usage, and "USB Drive - checking"
In that state a cannot access any file on memory card. For example I can see photos and albums, but after opening one of them there is icon, that file is corrupted.
I need to reboot phone to memory card work properly again.
To see files on USB OTG device i need to unmount memory card in settings, and then plug USB OTG. After unplugging USB OTG I must mount memory card again.
Did you have a similar problem? I must say, that back to factory state, and oreo update (also last ThinQ update) didn't resolve my problem. Do you have any solution? Can you give your ideas to resolve this problem?
I'd try a second usb flash drive. If you get the same hanging issue, I'd expect it's something bad with your usb otg adapter. Sometimes an adapter might work okay with one phone, but be kind of on the hairy edge and not work with a second phone.
I use the anker usb c to usb otg adapter a lot with my g6, since I first got it over a year ago. I do transfers to multiple flash drives.
Good luck!
I tried a different USB card reader, and it's working perfectly. Thanks for help!
