When I plug my phone into my computer it says it will operate faster if I plug it into a 3.0 port.
I am plugging into a USB 3.0 port.
Does the G2 have a USB 3.0 port? Is there a different cable to use other then the one it came with?
The OEM cable isn't capable of 3.0 data speeds, only charging rate. 5 pin vs 9. If you look hard in the port, you can see what looks like the extra pins for a proprietary cable. At least I hope, and they release one. Someone should ask LG support.
USB 3.0 has a different micro usb connector so it wont work.
i think so, too. the additional pins are for slimport i think
so it won't work
I know USB 3.0 is a different connection but why does the message come up that my phone can work faster if I plug it into a 3.0 port? Does anyone else get that message too?

Yup, my laptop says the same thing... my guess is that internally it is USB 3 but unless there is a proprietary adapter for the other pins in there, the port doesn't support it.

I just looked up slim port, it uses 5 pins like micro USB, but if you look in the G2 port there are other pogo style pads exposed in there.

after reading a bit about slimport you may be right... so maybe we will see a usb 3.0 adapter... even though i doubt it

Internally, it is. You are right, these pins are for something else... why I'm hoping for cable... someone call LG lol

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.

Audio out through USB C
Hi,
I have an Oppo HA-2 that I want to use with my N6P. The Oppo has a micro-USB that normally plugs into the phone's USB. Oppo said that I would only need an micro-usb to usb C adapter, so I bought this TechMatte USB Type C to Micro USB Convert Connector from Amazon.
It doesn't work and the company said it doesn't support audio pass-through. Does anyone know where to get a USB C/micro-USB cable with audio support?
Thanks

This one will probably work. I found another and I'll wait until I get it to post.
I received this today and can confirm it works with my Fiio E17. It even alows to charge the amp from the phone if you want. I forgot till I actually looked at it that the Fiio has a mini USB B. Even contacted Cable Matters about it before I ordered and they say it is USB C compliant. Excellent customer service. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UUBS0SS/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So I would assume that if you choose the one for micro USB it would also work.
Now we have root, Is there a way we can enable the USB OTG function?
I have a USB storage and a Seek thermal camera that both need power out from micro USB port of the phone.
Thanks guys
Wonder if OTG works on this phone with a simple USB drive. And if it even has OTG support in stock ROM. There are apps on Play Store to check.
in rooted xt usb mass storage not supported. unless there's a way to enable something huawei crippled. not sure what it is.
Has anyone figured out how to use usb-otg on this phone yet?

The one include with the S7 (micro USB to USB) was OTG capable. Most likely this one is also. Sorry I can't confirm yet.
Logically, is there much other use for a usb-c to female usb-a other than device to device power transfer and otg?

in the unboxing i've seen, there at 2 include connectors: a micro usb to usb-c and a fullsize usb-a to usb-c. the picture on page 12 refers to using the included cable and the small adapter to charge the phone (seems odd....). On page 18 there's a diagram showing the other one in use for for device to device data transfer in conjunction with the other phone's usb cable
The micro-usb to usb-c is obviously not USB OTG compatible.
The larger usb-c to usb-a is OTG compatible (and used for smartswitch as well).
what above says. the message is specific to the Micro USB connector and not any other OTG cables.

I plugged USB stick into all my other Samsung phones and it always work, not sure why it wouldn't work on S8, with one exception: phone doesn't recognize NTFS out of the box, but you can download driver and then it works with NTFS as well. But to be honest Android file access is a nightmare IMO, so much simpler to plug the phone into computer and do whatever from Windows, but again be careful, if you move files around, they're not updating right away and you may get confused as to where the files are.

Our zenfone 3 is equipped with a USB type C port, they said its just a USB 2.0. Is this true?
If I peek down there I can see all the pins available, even the pins that are not in USB 2.0.
So what else can our port do? Can it do OTG? (probably).
How about video out?
I was curious about this too. Turns out it varies by model. For the ZE552KL at least, the port has USB 2.0 with QC 3.0 support and not much else. It has USB PD according to the rep I spoke with, but it lacks Thunderbolt, HDMI or Displayport out, and most other USB type-C features. Plugging in type A devices should work with an adapter though, USB OTG is a thing of the past (thankfully).
I know for a fact that the Zenfone 3 Ultra is the only Zenfone 3 with video out over USB-C.

There are more posts from Asus support rep's stating it does not support any type of Qualcomm QC but i don't have them handy at the moment.
No video out? That sux.
The "Play To" feature inside the phone can only be use when both phone and TV have access to internet.
