Is anyone having problems getting true usb 3 speeds when connecting their Nexus 5's to windows with the usb cable ?
Everytime I connect my nexus 5 to any of my usb 3 ports on my pc windows keeps saying this device can perform faster if connected to a usb 3 port when in fact it is ???
I've connected my corsair flash voyager usb 3 stick to eliminate and port or driver issues and the usb stick is working fine and usb 3 transfer speeds and I don't get nagged at by windows saying it can perform faster, so is there something wrong with the usb stack driver from this phone or android 4.4 ?

Your problem sounds rather odd....The Nexus 5 is not a usb 3.0 device to begin with...the only cell phone on the market with usb 3.0 is the Note 3

That's a good question,indeed it's micro usb port which is only usb 2.0 I've done a bit of digging and it seems the SOC of the nexus 5 supports usb 3.0 so google need to fix their firmware as to stop it reporting that the device can perform faster when connected to a pc.
This is usually caused by bad drivers on the PC, not the phone.
My phone works just fine when plugged into USB 3.0, no prompts, no issues. Note that this phone won't actually run at USB 3.0 speeds, but it will run just fine otherwise. Smartphones do not need USB 3.0 as none of them are even remotely fast enough to make use of it right now.

That's odd,all my other usb 3 devices are working just fine,it's only the nexus 5 that is saying that on plugging in, i agree it is bad drivers but not from my pc,it's the firmware on the nexus, if it's not a usb 3 device then the firmware shouldn't be sending out the wrong commands.

USB3.0 charges 1.5x faster than USB2.0 if i remember correctly
Same here! Reports usb3 in win7 and win8.1 pretty anoying

This would be a driver issue. And besides, the cable that comes with the device isn't USB 3.0 compatible.

it uses same usb charging mode as in usb2.0 port and not ac charging mode here on intel h77 usb3.0 chipset. i wish it could fast charging with 1a when plugged in at usb3.0 port, unfortunately it's not.

So i finally got my qi compatible wireless charger today. Thought i figured a way to power the phone while using usb otg with a usb stick containing my movie. But to my disappointment, whenever the usb port is ocuppied, it wont charge wirelessly So much for extended movie playing from usb sticks directly
Damn I did not receive mine yet and I was planning on the same thing. Evem with a Y usb otg cable won't charge. The cable has a micro usb to plug into the phone, a male usb to plug into the charger and a female usb to plug in a usb stick. Even with the female usb not used the phone will not charge but my old htc desire does.

Its not a problem no where did google announce that its OTG capable even though it is.
its a design to prevent you from plugging in your Micro USB to the computer and wireless charging to overload the phone with voltage/current
I guess we could somehow allow it with custom kernels? We could also blow up the phone tho.
There was a kernel for another nexus (7?) That allowed it.
Problem is, I bet most people who charge and want to use usb at the same time would be doing so to do something that uses high resources (NAND, CPU, GPU) and heat plus usage is bad for all of those things, hence the "design"

Thanks for your reply, and it is correct, because when I have the phone on QI charge, the battery info tells me it's on WIRELESS CHARGE, and when I connect the phone throug micro USB to the PC, it switches to USB CHARGING, even while the phone is still on the QI charger, so there's the protection.
HOWEVER, the phone KNOWS if it is connected to a USB charger (PC or charger) or to an OTG device..... (other connector with the loop connection 4-5). So there could be a trigger to the OS to either cut off wireless charging when connected to another charging source (that's actually what's happening now already), OR keep allowing wireless charging when connected to an OTG device.
So, i.m.h.o. still the question remains: Why can't I charge wirelessly with OTG connected.....?!?!

OK, well that's a good argument ofcourse.
My idea was to connect external storage (HDD/Stick), charge on QI, and play with Miracast to TV........
Not a good plan? Maybe better to buy a media player for 50 bucs?
Hi!
Got my Note yesterday, now I got a problem, again. I can't get it work on USB 3.0 no matter what I do (I'm sure about this but I ask this anyway: am I right that SM-P905 have USB 3.0?)
Okay, to the problem:
When connected to USB 3.0 I don't have option to choose USB 3, I only got MTP and PTP
- I updated Kies 3
- I reinstalled drivers (from Kies)
- I have 2 USB 3.0 ports on my PC so not so many to test but:
USB 3.0 works on my Note 3 (SM-N9005) on both USB-ports, It also works well with my Note Pro USB-cable
Note Pro doesn't work (don't give even option to choose USB 3 mode) on any of these two ports. I also tried both ports using my Note 3 USB-cable, but still no luck
So any ideas?
ps. I got ASUS motherboard and I found out someones having similar problems with their Android devices. Reason was ASUS Ai Charger -utility, but I don't have that one never ever istalled on my PC. Oooh, and one more thing, I'm using Win 7 Home Premium (x64)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Updating BIOS and reinstalling Windows did the trick, now it works like it should
What exactly makes you say it doesn't work? Are you completely unable to transfer data to/from the tablet to a PC, are you not seeing a difference between transfer speeds using a USB 2.0 cable vs a 3.0 cable, OR is the appearance of everything working there but you are wanting the USB 3.0 nag screen to pop up to give you an indication that you're indeed using USB 3.0 ?

When I connect Note to PC USB 3.0 port, pull down notification bar and click USB notification, I get ONLY option to use MTP or PTP. USB 3.0 is not listed there as option. I also transferred about <10Gb size file to Note and it took about 50min, which really is loooooong time..
Okay, here is screenshot about what I meant. Can you please say how it's in your tablet.

Same - Mine connects MTP and I can see it and transfer files but on my tablet I get a Icon in the top tray that says connected to USB 3.0
Same here, when I'm getting a USB 3.0 connection to my PC I'll get the 3.0 indication in the notification screen.
I can't get 3.0 to work with my rMBP but it works with my Windows 7 based workstation and I can definitely see an increase in file transfer speed to the tablet when the USB 3.0 cable is used in a USB 3.0 port. Just did a test from a hard drive on my PC to the tablet, 2.1GB file transferred to internal memory on the Note Pro in 1:18 using a USB 2.0 cable and 0:48 using the stock USB 3.0 cable so I'm getting about 45mb/s with 3.0 and 27mb/s with 2.0.
Okay thanks. Tomorrow I'll check again if notification bar shows USB 3 or not, can't remember right now (still got thought that not). I'll get back here and tell if it's working or not.
EDIT: Yup, no USB 3.0 connection, in notifiction area there is that standard USB icon and it's not saying 3.0
EDIT2: Is there some way to find out if Note charges using USB 3.0? Shouldn't the 3.0 be a lot faster on recharging than 2.0, but how I can know which one it uses?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium HD app
Okay, back to subject..
Does USB 3.0 affect anyway to charging speed? Like if I use stock wall charger with 2.0 or 3.0 cable?
What's your charging speed? I did test and from 50% to 55% it took 15 minutes and from 50% to 65% 45 minutes (which makes average 5%/15min)
To charge I used stock wall charger and stock USB 3.0 cable. I didn't use my NP while charging and mobile data / wifi was OFF
Can you please check how fast is your Note Pro to charge? I still can't make my note to work on 3.0 mode when connected to my PC and I'm trying to find is the problem on my PC or Note before sending this to repair
How about trying Gsam Battery Monitor and observing the charging characteristics that way. It will give you charging current.

With wall charher charging current is 1900mAh, which is normal I think.
Now, if I plug my NP to my computers USB 3.0 port, I get BSOD --> PC reboots and I plug again --> now it works, but still not on USB 3.0 mode. So it could be with drivers or something, tried again install device drivers with Kies 3 but no luck. What could I do? I don't have skills to remove all the drivers and start from clean table (any other way than formatting my pc and that's not gonna happer for a while )
Any ideas?
Okay, just tried with laptop (Win 8.1) and my NP is ok, it connected using USB 3.0.
Now what, if my external HDD and Note 3 works on my own PC via 3.0, what I can do to make my Note Pro work also??
Problem have to be with drivers or something..
Mine doesn't show the "Use USB3.0" option that my Note 3 shows, but it clearly says "Connected as a media device via USB3.0" in the notification bar. (See attached screnshot)
Also, it just copied 1.03GB in 16 seconds from my laptop to my NotePro.
Clearly they removed the USB 3.0 setting from the menu, and it is now done automatically.

I'd start with USBDEVIEW. Google it. Run that with no android devices connected to the PC. Uninstall all drivers related to any android device and reboot the computer. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, consider repeating that, rebooting and then updating the chipset drivers for your motherboard.
After that, I'm out of ideas.
Us Mac users have the same issue; the tablet is simply not recognized as a USB 3.0 device on my rMBP which is running Mavericks. It doesn't matter if I'm running windows as a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion or not so I'm thinking its at the driver level of Mavericks.

Thank you for help. I uninstalled all drivers related to Android and/or Samsung, restarted my PC, connected NP and still not working. At this point I restarted computer again but that didn't help either... Where the heck can that problem be?
I also tried killing all processes that I knew I can safely kill from my PC (In hope if some program/process is doing harm for USB 3.0 connection) but no luck..

I updated them twice, just to be sure. I got 2x USB 3.0 ports on my PC.
My external HD and Note 3 works well with both of them. And Note 3 also works with NP 12.2 cable.
Just my NP wont work no matter which port or cable I use.
On my friends laptop NP 12.2 with the cable that came in the box works well, immediately connects as 3.0 device.
I think I'll quit with this. Don't have the knowledge find out where the problem is.. I thought maby BIOS update might help, but since everything else works fine, I wont do that because the risk of totally f*** up my computer.
But if anyone here got any other/more ideas, I'm listening

You said you had an ASUS motherboard, right? I'd go ahead and update the BIOS, it's pretty fool proof with the newer ones (which you have USB3.0, so it's a safe assumption that it's new enough.)
I also have an Asus motherboard, funny thing is, my Note Pro does show the USB3.0 indicator in the notification bar, but I'm copying files over right now via Linux and it's copying at 9.9MB/s. That's pretty horrible. Added to that, my Note Pro won't charge from the USB port on my computer, but it will from the wall charger. It has a big red X over the battery when plugged into the PC. So I'm not sure if that's somehow related.
Another thought about both of our problems, is that maybe the cable is a little loose or something is in the port-hole. I know mine was a bit flakey for a bit there (as in I would plug it in, create a folder... then tried to rename it and it said it couldn't access the device... I had to try it three times after unplugging and plugging it back in.)
It doesn't make sense though that it's a BIOS and/or driver issue if you also have a Note 3 and it's working through USB3. I know on mine, when I tried it in Linux (can't recall if I did under Windows), it was extremely flakey there too. The Note Pro just autodetected it, but still copied slowly. I'll have to try that under Windows as well now.

Yes, you may want to update your BIOS.
(For the record, I'm using an Asus N76VB with the factory BIOS, no issue).
Hm, maybe a silly suggestion... Are you using any type of USB charging setting? I know some of these Asus motherboards come with an option to overvolt the USB port to enable fast charging.

Not related. A USBport doesn't supply enough amperé to register as charging. Even my old Galaxy Tab 2 10,1 has that issue.

I have that issue with my Note 3 and even my TF700T since day 1. It's an MTP bug. And now since 4.4.2 I can't rename anything on my Note 3 without explorer.exe crashing. Different pc's, different OS's, different cables, no difference.

Yeah, I know mine isn't charging because I watched, even after plugging it into my computer, it slowly go from 70% battery down to 65%.
When looking at what is hogging all the battery, it's the retarded Indexing service. I'm still in the process of seeing if there's a fix for that, but it really seems like it's having an issue (which would also explain why mounting it on the computer is flakey, since they could be trying to read the same file systems.) Oddly, my Note 3 doesn't have any of these issues (except actually mounting as USB3). In fact, I was starting to suspect my PC at work had crap USB ports, but it's just the stupid Blackberry cable (it only successfully charges the blackberry, not my Note 3 or anything besides my mouse that I've plugged into it.)

Yes it is, but there is a problem witch that the device restart each time disconnect the external flash to set default location to internal storage.
I tried the external WiFi adapter from tp-link with Mate 8 but nothing happened. Wondering if any one has tried a wifi adapter with Mate 8 using an OTG cable/connector?
Yep, it does, but it took me 2 different OTG connector/adapters to find one that worked.

I recently bought a Google Pixel it's all working fine
But when I plug it on my PC it doesn't get recognized even though the phone is charging I don't get any notification that the phone is plugged through USB I have all the drivers installed
Here are the errors I'm getting: "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" please help I've moved from iOS recently I don't want to refund I freaking love this phone! and i'm starting to get desperate.
Thanks
Not for the Pixel 2 but I thought it'd be the same case plus I need help ASAP cause I'm leaving country soon!
Are you connecting it using the cable that it came with? If you are, try a different port or reboot your phone and see if that helps. You can also get into the developer settings and tell it to MTP rather than USB Charging. Sometimes that helps. You can also try different cables, (if desktop) use the usb ports on the back of the computer rather than the front.

The cable it comes with is garbage. Use that only for charging and go buy a good USB C or USB A to C cable (for transfer, adb, etc. I've had better luck with the A to C cables).

Make sure you are plugging into a USB 2.0 port. If all you have are 3.X ports you need to enable USB debugging in Developer options. If you are plugging into a desktop use the ports on the back of the machine.

It's too late for that now mate
I don't bother connecting with a cable. I use the free app 'Airdroid'. It gives you a url to use on your computer and as long as both your phone and computer are on the same network you can see all your files, photos, messages etc. on your computer screen. Very easy to move files either way and do all sorts of other things. Very slick.
BTW, you don't need to setup an Airdroid account just skip that bit.

Very easy to move files either way and do all sorts of other things. Very slick.
BTW, you don't need to setup an Airdroid account just skip that bit.

Nah I'm doing this so I can root n stuff
You don't need pc to recognize device as a drive via USB for file recognition to root and stuff. Just use adb push and pull. That's of course if it is recognized by adb. Mine is that way as not recognize mtp drivers but adb is fine
Sent from my Pixel 2 using my fingers on the keyboard.
I had the same issue when I first got my phone. Initially, the only way I was able to get it to work was plugging directly into a USB port on the PC....it wouldn't work on any USB hub. I ordered a Anker Powerline II cable (my hub was Anker so I figured it would have the best luck) and it worked. No other cable would work...not sure why. Also, I didn't have to enable debugging (I had tried that before and it still didn't work)...I was able to go into Settings and change USB from charge only to file transfer.

I recently bought a Google Pixel it's all working fine
But when I plug it on my PC it doesn't get recognized even though the phone is charging I don't get any notification that the phone is plugged through USB I have all the drivers installed
Here are the errors I'm getting: "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" please help I've moved from iOS recently I don't want to refund I freaking love this phone! and i'm starting to get desperate.
Thanks
Not for the Pixel 2 but I thought it'd be the same case plus I need help ASAP cause I'm leaving country soon!

I've had the same issue - it ended up being a bad cable.
I know you probably checked this, but... did you update the Google drivers on your PC? My phone wan't recognized until I installed the latest from Google.
Just use an a to c cable. If you're using the adapter that came with your pixel, it won't work. And yeah everyone else is right, use the 2.0 port
Apparently 8.1 fcuked up usb 3.x connections such that you can't even use them for data, only usb 2.0 for now, it's super annoying. There's an issue tracker for it if you want to star it.
I use Solid Explorer and the ftp server to connect to Win 10 for file transfers atm
I had the same problem. After I finally switched to my one USB 2.0 port, I was subsequently able to use my 3.0 ports again. It was a while ago, so I don't remember the details, but I think I updated the driver for the device that was reporting as active in Windows Device Manager while I was connected via the 2.0 port.

Would be interesting if you could share your driver info - no one I've seen online has fixed this!
