Usb otg 3.0? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tested the Note 3 for USB 3.0 OTG connectivity.
I could not get Superspeed transfers, only USB 2.0 speeds.
I confirmed with the Charger Doctor and multiple USB devices on an unpowered hub that the Note 3 does output the full 900mA of current that a normal USB 3.0 port would. This means that the Note 3 is fully capable of outputting 900mA of current for OTG devices.
I confirmed that the Western Digital USB 3.0 My Passport hard drive (formatted to exFAT) was fully powered and provided sequential reads and writes.
However, the most I could get was 39MiB/sec, which indicates that it is operating at USB 2.0 speeds. Has anybody had success getting the Note 3 to operate at USB 3.0 speeds when using USB OTG?

Hi All
I am currently facing an issue with using a USB 3.0 Flash Drive on my N9005.
I recently bought a Kingston DTHX30/64GB from Amazon and the benchmark which I did personally at a IT Retail Shop at the mall using their AlienWare Laptop show that the USB Flash Drive is working perfectly at > 300/150 (W/R).
I bought an OTG Cable from a local online shop but the benchmark shows only 30/20 (W/R).
The only tests that I have yet to conduct is to borrow another N9005 to verify if the fault lies on the cable or my phone.
Anyone out there is facing the same issue?
Is this a firmware issue?

Pretty sure the standard OTG cables are usb 2.0 only. Need a OTG cable with the correct USB 3.0 connection.

The current USB 3.0 OTG comes from a Local Online Retailer in Singapore which got their cables from China too, but not sure if their source is reliable.
Anyways, I have ordered an OTG this time round that will be flying in to me from China. Let's see if this cable works.

Sorry for double posting as this is an update post.
The USB 3.0 OTG I personally ordered from China came today and I immediately put it to test.
The packaging and the cable is exactly the same as the one I bought from Singapore.
And the results? It's also exactly the same.
This time round, I am going down to Sim Lim Tower to get an Engineer to specially make one USB 3.0 OTG for me and I shall put that to a test. I think this will cost me like 15 to 20 USD (20 to 25 SGD)
I shall name my cables, OTG A (The one I initially bought online from Singapore), OTG B (The one I ordered from China) and OTG C (The one I get from Sim Lim Tower).
I have tested OTG "A" and OTG "B" using on my friend's N9005 and the results are the same.
The next test will be that, I will format my USB 3.0 Hard Drive to Fat32/exFAT and test using all 3 OTG cables.
Can it be my Kingston USB 3.0 Flash drive not compatible with the OTG Cable?
Please enlighten me. I saw somewhere on this forum that we need to activate USB3 on N9005 to use it?

I've been unable to get the SM-N900T to link up USB 3. I've been looking in the kernel source and doing some debugging and the USB 3 host controller isn't even registering a USB 3 device connected to the port. Just a USB 2 device. I've looked at some of the datasheets for the Snapdragon 800 processor in this phone and its not really clear if it supports USB 3 OTG, or just USB 3 MTP as a device.
I'd love to get a definative answer from samsung or qualcomm but for now i've given up on USB 3.0 OTG with the Note 3.

I too would love to hear if it is possible to get the phone to USB3 in OTG mode and not just MTP. I purchased 2 "USB3.0 OTG" cables expecting faster transfer speeds with my external USB 3.0 SSD or USB 3.0 memory sticks. No such luck.
When contacting the seller to inquire about the inability to transfer at superspeed, I was just given responses like it must be a bad cable and will issue a refund. I purchased 2 of these and both have identical transfers speeds.
Likely just get a refund as it looks like it may not be possible to switch the phone to USB3 for the OTG. Bummer.

I have a couple different cables coming today. If they both test at only USB 2 then I'm going to call it a fail.
What i really don't get is why the would put an xhci host in the snapdragon if they weren't going to support USB 3 in host mode.

I just posted some more results on USB 3 OTG support. I probably should have just put it in this thread but here is a link.
Short version. Still no luck

I've tried a variety of USB 3 OTG adapters and none of them have worked correctly. Suspect OTG functionality doesn't work with USB 3?

Okay
I have tested with 2 different 9005 and 3 USB3.0 OTG Cable from 3 different source.
Everything doesn't work. All possible test are conducted and test results are at USB2.0 speed.

N900 N9000 and N9005
N900 is the Note 3 Neo version. It has USB 2.0 only
N9000 is the Exynos version with USB 3.0
N9005 is the Snapdragon version wiht USB 3 ports but USB 2 speeds.
I want to buy this phone as I can use an Image App to control a camera, and then copy the SDXC card to a USB3 HDD.
Could someone kindly confirm with a quality USB 3.0 OTG cable that the N9000 Exynos version is capable of USB 3
speeds while operating as a USB 3 host ?

N900a n900t
I have both a N900A and N900T rooted and running android 5.0.1 roms.
Having the same results as the rest of you, ~35Mb/s transfer speeds on usb 3.0 otg with a ssd. Quite disappointing.

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....

[Q] Any difference between OTG cable usb 2 vs ubs for note 3?

Hey,
Wanted to try an OTG cable to see if it can handle movies from flash drive. And if there was a difference between OTG cable usb 2 version or an USB 3 version.
I ask this because if there is a difference there may be better with USB 3 if i coonect a flash drive for USB 3 speed?
Thank you

OTG support for USB type c

Hello
Apologies if this has been asked before. I can't find a definitive answer...
Has anyone managed to get access to an USB memory stick on the OnePlus 2 actually working?
I've just received my OnePlus 2 and have rooted it etc. I have bought a couple of USB type C to USB A female sockets, both claiming to support OTG. However, neither of them appear to work. I've tried with a number of different USB sticks, some of them with indicator LEDs on them. When plugging them in, the LED indicator stays off and there is no extra drive in settings/storage, even after ticking the OTG check box.
I have booted to TWRP recovery and tried to mount the OTG storage. The phone vibrates and the check box immediately disappears...
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here!
The two items I have tried are:
1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00VGF2UPQ
2. http://m.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F2CU036/
Thanks for your time

Similar situation with me too:
So I have both of these adapters:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W5BL1N2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XLF1BZ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Neither seem to work for me? I am trying to connect to a flight control board, so using a normal USB -> Micro USB, but the boards in question do not receive any power, nevermind data!
Any ideas?
Grr....
it seems that the problem is that does not support USB 3.1 (and do not know if not 3.0), the adapter must be old (not blue)
Both the OTG adapters I have support USB 2.0/3.0 and 3.1, but neither of them work.
What you are saying is you need a USB Type-C 2.0 adapter? Not seen those anywhere, are you sure they exist?
Same here. Doesn't work, using an adapter with a micro USB OTG cable doesn't work (this combo cable/Kingston USB 3 key works very well with OPO)
And it doesn't work either with this OTG cable

Stupid question but did you guys enabled otg option in your storage settings. I just received my Oneplus 2 yesterday and I saw that setting and enabled it. I am still waiting for OPO's C adapter that's out of stock on Amazon India and only then I can verify whether that really does make a different or not.

What do you mean by the c-adapter? How do you connect it? C-adapter connect to an OTG? Or the OTG is integrated with c-adapter in it?
Cus I bought a separate c-adapter then connect to my micro USB OTG cable..

OTG not working without the original USB Type-C Adapter

It seams, that standard Type-C OTG cables and flashdrives are not recognized by oneplus two?!
When using the original Type-C Adapter with an micro-USB Stick or cable, it works.
Is this a bug in Oxygen 2.X or the kernel? Or is this Onplus´ marketing strategy, that Oneplus Two Users have to buy their adapter?
A lot of adapters are charge-only, so you need to make sure they can handle data as well
I've got this flash drive, and my OPT does not recognize it. The other one with the original OnePlus micro/C adapter just works fine.
Devices Available in Market are USB 3.0 / 3.1 but OPT support USB2.0, USB 3.0 / 3.1 devices or adapters will not work directly.
For example: The JetFlash 890S with Both USB Type-C and USB 3.1 Interface for OTG-Enabled Devices is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, but it isn´t recognized.

Yes, Oneplus 2's usb type-c port is defective (hardware level not OS or kernel) it only detects official oneplus adapter and not any standard adapter with 56k resistor( As oneplus's adapter has 10k resistor- Non-standard/Defective).

USB 3.0 Type-C or USB 2.0 Type-c

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
