Still no USB3 in smart phones (10/2015), why...? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been a little disappointed when the last few "breakthrough" smartphones were announced. I am a bit of inpatient type and I hate it when it takes time to copy videos from my phone to my computer and when it takes time to copy music from my computer to my phone.
Galaxy Note 3, the first USB3 phone was released in 09/2013. Galaxy S5 (certain variations..?) was the next one to get it. Then in autumn 2014 a suprise: USB3 was removed from Galaxy Note 4, and the recent Galaxy Note 5 still was in microUSB 2.0.
Lets see what is currently possible and with what price. I have a Sandisk Extreme USB stick. 32GB version costs 24eur and 16GB version costs 16eur. This stick has sequential read speed of 200MB/s and write of 89MB/s (according to crystaldiskmark).
Then I did a test for my LG G2. Androbench and A1 SD both give read speeds of abt. 154-170MB/s and androbench gave write speed of 77MB/s (sequential).
When I transfer a movie from LG G2 to my computer the transfer speed is about 27MB/s. So I have a strong reason to believe that the USB2 connector is a bottleneck. From past experience I know that USB2 maxes somewhere around 30MB/s.
The feedback from Galaxy Note 3 was that the microUSB3 connector went easily broken so I was under the impression that this was the main reason Samsung removed the connector from the next model and set its sight to USB type-C, which should be more durable and support speeds up to USB 3.1.
Now USB type-C is finally here but the first four phones I bumped to (Oneplus 2, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X Lenovo ZUC Z1, or whatever) all of them do NOT have USB3 controller. According to most of latest sources all of them support only USB 2 speeds.
If a 16eur USB stick can do it, why cant a 600-700eur smartphone? I read many different hypothesis of what might be the reason. I just really dont believe any of them

[Q] Galaxy 10.1/Tranformer/Xoom?! Which one?

Hi all, trying to decide which tablet to get. Hoping to get some honest unbiased opinions. I am coming from an IPad 1 which i loved. Also, I have the $100.00 off staples coupon, however I can NOT get the Asus at 100 off. Everywhere I checked in my area would not honor the coupon because Staples does not have it in stock, I can only get the xoom or Samsung 100.00 off. SO I know most of the pros and cons of each but most reviews that favor the Asus like it because of the price cut. I am going into this with all 3 the same price (only difference being I can get a 32gb xoom at the price of the 16gb asus and samsung)
ASUS 16gb - 399.99
What I like about the ASUS:
Screen I read is the best.
Mini HDMI
SD Card
Lots of mod potential
CONS:
heavier
proprietary cable that i can not find for sale anywhere
large frame.
less than quality build
I dont care about the dock, probably wont buy it.
XOOM - 32gb - 399.99
What I like about the XOOM
Updates first
quality build
SD card slot
HDMI out
no proprietary cable
lots of accessories
CONS:
not the best screen
heaviest
seems to be a little slower than the others (not as responsive)
not a huge mod community
Galaxy Tab - 399.99 16gb
Pros:
light
quality build
smaller frame
optional keyboard if I want
nice screen
fast/responsive
good mod community
CONS:
proprietary cable
no SD Card slot (huge)
no HDMI out
So with all that said, any opinions/suggestions would really help. Like I said I have the 100.00 coupon and I hate to not use it. So with it I can get all 3 for 399.99 BUT if I choose the Samsung, I would probably pay the 499.99 for the 32 gig (using the 100.00 off) since it has no SD card slot which REALLY SUX. Id be using the tab for movie watching a lot, lots of web browsing, and some EBOOK/PDF mag reading mainly with light gaming and light music listening.
I REALLY need some help.
Honestly I had the same thoughts and just went with the GTab. Since this comes straight from Google you dont have to worry about updates, this tab is their flagship right now so we get updates before anyone. Not having a SD Card slot hasnt been an issue either. Forgot to mention I bought one from Best Buy for retail price, then I found one on eBay for $600 with a screen protector and the dock, took the one back to Best Buy. Basically what Im saying is, you can find a great deal on eBay for a brand new GTab with extras like I did and still came out cheaper. If I decide to sell it, I can sell it for the same price, or a little cheaper because I didnt buy the extra $35 dock nor did I spend the $36 in store taxes.

Actually the Xoom gets the updates first, not the GTab.
Anyway I had the Xoom, returned it for the Transformer, then returned the Transformer for the Galaxy tab 10.1. I will be keeping the 10.1 and love it.
The Xoom screen is TERRIBLE and it's way too heavy. And up until recently the Xoom was the most expensive tablet on the market, despite having the worst features.
The Transformer was just a big POS. Software was extremely slow on laggy, build quality was abysmal.
I have no need for microSD or HDMI so that was no big deal for me. what I wanted was a light tablet with a wonderful screen and high build quality. The Galaxy tab 10.1 is the only one that gives me that.
What the Xoom has going for it is that it is the first to get Honeycomb updates, and it's built like a tank (in a good way, meaning it's sturdy).
I would use the $100 Staples coupon and get the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thankfully it is still shipping without Touchwiz, since I don't like how Touchwiz tries to make Honeycomb look like iOS (seriously Samsung, get off of Apple's nuts already, it's embarrassing).
I have both a TF and a Tab, I got the Tab from a local craigslist seller for $375 about a week before the coupon came out. I then got another Tab from Staples with the coupon for my son and he loves it. I didn't really need another tablet but I decided to try and get a TF from Office Depot for $299. The first OD wouldn't honor the coupon and the 2nd one I went to took the coupon with no hassle. I also bought the keyboard dock for the TF as well. I compared both tablets over the weekend and here are my thoughts:
- I had no build quality issues with the TF I got, it was put together great.
- I fried the TF on day 2 trying to root and install cwm so I had to exchange it for another one at OD. In my opinion the Tab is much easier to root and install custom roms but it may be just that I'm not familiar with the process on the TF.
- The screen on the Tab beats the TF hands down. The Tab has the best screen I've ever seen on a tablet, even nicer than my iPad.
- The size and form factor of the Tab is fantastic, again no comparison.
- The only thing the TF really has in it's favor is the built-in micro sd card slot and hdmi connector, plus the keyboard dock that provides a 2nd battery. For those advantages you are carrying a heavier tablet. I got the Samsung USB adapter from BB and now I can read micro sd cards on the tab. You wouldn't want to use the Tab with the USB adapter but you can copy files to/from the micro sd card into the Tab's internal memory so that helps overcome the 16gb. I liked the USB adapter so much I bought a 2nd one to keep at work, they are only $20 each. It works with every USB stick I tried and even my SD card reader with a 32gb SD card. So going on a trip I can load a bunch of movies onto a memory stick and copy them onto the Tab when I want to watch them and delete them when I'm done. The HDMI port is totally useless for me as I have no use case for plugging the tablet into my TV.
- The TF has serious charger issues. Asus is using a higher voltage than a standard USB port therefore it won't charge with any other USB adapter. This really sucks, and they are charging too much for a spare adapter if you can even find them. The Samsung uses a standard USB wall wart. You can plug it into any USB wall charger and it will trickle charge. It will have an "x" on the battery like it's not charging - but it is! It is slow charging, if you don't believe it, leave it connected all night and you'll be at 100% in the morning. I also purchased a little dongle adapter that tricks the Tab into going into real charge mode with any USB wall wart. I also have Samsung's USB car charger that I leave in my car and it charges everything, including the Tab and my iPhone. As far as I know Asus doesn't offer a car charger for the TF. The TF also won't work with standard USB extenders, you have to order special ones for USB 3.0, where the Tab works with any USB extender.
So at the end of the day the Tab is the winner....

Well said *golf clap*. I completely agree with this post and could not have said it better myself. I was kinda upset that I only got the 16gb model but after a few days I figure it really is not that big a deal. Everything that this post says about the adapter I was thinking as well. By the time I would fill up this 16gb model I may be ready to buy another one and pass this off to my wife and daughter for kid games/apps which they won't need much space for.
The way the GT feels in your hand is fantastic, if you want a laptop get a laptop, if you want a tablet get the GT or iPad (yikes I know) or BB Playbook since they are all portable tablets and feel great in your hands.
My take Galaxy Tap 10.1
All aside... OK the Motorola has the ports, however the galaxy has the add on and would do the same....Screen quality is far greater and overall construction including wait is a no brainier...
I am still Loving my Tab...What makes it better I have a two year warranty.
I think I'm sold on a G Tab. Thx u guys!
Also you can get knock-off USB cables for the Tab from eBay for like 3 dollars. I had the previous 7" tab and bought a bunch of generic USB cables from eBay and they work great on the Tab 10.1. Now I wouldn't recommend doing ROM installs with the knock off cables, but for charging and file transfering they work like a charm! By the way all the adapter stuff from the 7" Tab works great with the 10.1 model, including the car charger. And you can buy all the chargers/cables/etc. from any AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile store because they carry the 7" Tab.
Had the Asus Transformer and went throught 4 because i was convinced it was the tablet for me. When i took number 4 back, that is when i decided it was time to Tab. I swallowed the extra dollars and got the 32gb. I had purchased a 32gb sd card for the Asus and knew that was plenty roomy for media. So i decided to stick with the feeling of 'plenty of room.' The form factor difference is just crazy extreme. The Tab feels much better in the hands, which is where it is 90% of the time.
Accessory wise, Samsung has alot more out and its been on the market the least between the 3 mentioned. He Samsung keyboard dock is alot closer to full size compared to TF dock. I found myself aways having to disable the track pad on the TF and aim the fingers much more norrow. You will tyoe faster than the full touch keyboard, but not by much. The battery on the keyboard was only useful on the 3 new TF i had to update amd restore out of the box. They aways seemed to be low on battery out of the box. I think the keyboard battery suuplement would only be useful on extensive travel and use.
Lastly, yes the Xoom and Asus have ports. But what good is a tablet if its connected to something? It certainly isnt mobile. So to me the adapters make perfect sense. You only want that stuff once in a while. Why should you carry the extra bulk and weight with you all the time? You shed those ports and internal junctures and you have a tablet as light and thin as the GT. Add it when you need it and disconnect it when done. 32gb and 16gb are alot of space and if you managw what you really need vs want, you wont miss the expandable storage. There are also lines of wifi 500gb pocket drives with batteries. I truly think that will be the future vs sd card. Larger capacity and group sharing friendly. No more passing the stick around to copy.
All in all the GT is a great experience and youll only be disappointed if you just cant stand it that people have ports and you have an adapter.

Confirmed working USB to ethernet: Cable Matters

Greetings,
not sure if this deserve its own thread, but if not, please kindly merge it with others.
I just want to confirm that the following USB to ethernet device is working with my Nexus Player (via OTG plug):
Cable Matters 202023 USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ET4KHJ2...6&sr=sr-1&keywords=cable+matters+usb+ethernet).
I purchased it cheap (<$10), initially intended for my laptop but tried it on my Nexus Player. For all the contents I am streaming from home server (up to 1080p), fast ethernet is fast enough.
The build quality is actually very decent. I was expecting worse (due to the price) but was pleasantly surprised. Coincidentally, it works with win10 without additional driver.
regards,
Just wanted to say to be careful with buying the one off dx.com
i grabbed one recommended on this thread, the cases are exactly the same but clearly something is different as it does not work
Working DX
Not Working DX (Ripped it apart since its not working, chip says Pulse H1102NL 09154-C China)

S8 output to portable monitor

Hi!
I am planning to grab a portable monitor (8-10 inch) to be used with my S8 when I'm going somewhere I can't use my Samsung Dex.
Are there any good portable monitor with battery embedded?
If possible, I want to use my S8 a bit like Asus Padfone S...
i bought this one to use with dex. it's a bit bigger than you wanted, but seems quality...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSVRVD4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ah, yes... Ive seen that... Sadly too bulky for me, and most important, need to be plugged in to a power adapter to power on...
I'm wondering if its possible to use a padfone S dock as an extender...
With a MicroUSB to USB C adapter as well though xD
to me, it wasn't any worse than a laptop in total. downside is requiring 2 power sources.
You can use This, Or this
Wow!!! Thank you very much for those two!
It is exactly as I needed!!
The only thing is to wait for those to be released. If ever.
Thanks
That was 2 great links i was looking for a solution.:good:
You can also use the ASUS mb169b+ which is USB Type A
However you'll need the DisplayLink Presenter app. However I find that the DisplayLink Desktop (Demo) (Unreleased) works better as it enabled the scroll whell as well.
The monitor uses the phone as battery, so you might need to grep a usb-c dongle with a integrated usb-c charge port and usb-a port.
you can use GeChic 1503H 15.6-inch IPS 1080p because its best in quality and reasonally priced also have all the features.
one of my friend suggested me to read this article because they have mention top 10 best portable monitor with all the features and comparsion table with prices.
Just imagine, a CASE that adds another screen to your phone so ou have 2 screens of the same size and portable. but imagine this to work on any phone with MHL . is not difficult and the technology already exist. so you can have a note 2, s6, note 8 etc whatvere and just attach the case to it.
i had an idea guys. did you saw the new LG dual screen phone? is just a flip case with a screen atached to the cover.
now remember samsung GROUP PLAY ? you can put 2, 3, 4 or 5 phones together forming an extended desktop experience.
i would just use 2 Note 4 phones together with a 3d printed case. think now how awesome would be to use 2 note 9 phones togheter.
dual or 4 sim, dual battery, dual superamoled screen, double processors etc. everything double.
you can try ASUS MB168B and vinpok split touch screen monitor
This should work fine if you plug it in to a Battery pack
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CH2HRLP/
I own the 15.6" non touch and it works quite well on my laptop. The one linked is the smaller 11.6" one for only $106
Comes with a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and uses micro usb for power.

SanDisk Ultra USB Type-C Flash Drive

I mainly got this for my Google Pixel XL which has no SD card slot, but it's 128GB internally. Why do i need an SD card with 128GB of storage? Because every time i flash an Official Google img Build, it wipes the phone, All TWRP backups are gone, Titanium Backups are gone. Can't go wrong for the price...
So Amazon just dropped me off a SanDisk Ultra USB Type-C Flash Drive for my Pixel XL. I paid $12.99 for the 32GB version, and i only got a 32GB because my Pixel XL is 128GB and its going to be used mainly for TWRP back-ups...

sounds like you are struggling with encryption on that stock ROM. flashing the appropriate no_verity.zip should take care of that so you don't need USB stick

Yes it does get quite warm, no pretty hot, but you can touch it...
That Sandisk USB type-c flash drive is a piece junk, extremely slow to transfer files /pics/videos from the phone and become warm->hot. I have a 128gb version that just sit on my desk while I type this reply.

HDMI disconnects (S7 AND S7+)

Hi,
I have had a Tab S7 Wifi 128 GB (returned it) and have a Tab S7+ 256 GB 6GB RAM here. I want to use it for streaming games only. I capture on my desktop pc with a AverMedia 4k capture card (but I have 4k and 1080p Elgato cars here as well to test).
I plugin the USB-C Multiport Adapter (EE-P3200) from Samsung and it shows "HDMI connected". Screen mirroring and DEX work, resolution and 60Hz are just fine. But after a few minutes - sometimes more, sometimes less the signal drops with a "HDMI disconnected" message. I have to unplug and plugin the adapter again.
- This happens all the time, on the homescreen, in apps, in games.
- It's not the monitor -> it works with all my devices I have here and I tried
- It's not the adapter -> I also have an Apple adapter, an Aukey adapter and a no-name USB-C to HDMI cable ... all four solutions have the same problem!
- It's not that particular Tab S7(+) -> a brand new S7 and S7+ do the same
- It's not the capture card(s) -> Same behaviour with all 3 cards AND I have an Android Huawei MatepadPro tablet as well as an iPad Pro here that work just fine with all adapters, all cables, all capture cards
I "reset" both the S7 and S7+ even tho both were brand new and sealed. Both were/are on the newest software update from October 1st. The problem existed on the stock software as well.
Any ideas please? The tablet itself is great and the huge screen is simply put amazing. But If I can't use the HDMI output it is useless for me.

I just got an update on my AT&T tab S7 5G with November security. Maybe there is a fix coming for this. I have seen Samsung doing USB C updates to devices recently too.

I just got that update two days ago, but it changed nothing.
I've had about 10 calls with Samsung tech levels 1 and 2. Every call I had to explain every from scratch (even with a case number lol) and every person told me "problem is not known/reported", the last guy I had on the phone told me his colleague (that he was texting with during the call) had multiple customers complain about hdmi disconnects and he (the colleague) was able to reproduce the issue on two S7's himself.
I returned the tablet now as a stable hdmi output is vital for my usecase.
For others having the problem, do you have external power connected to the adapter? Plugging a USB-PD analyzer into the S7 shows it can only source 500mA, which might not be enough for some adapters (especially the ones that are also USB hubs) to work reliably.
So after almost 4 months now I bought a brand new Galaxy Tab S7+ again. New Android version, new OneUI version, same problem.
- 4 different adapters (3 with PD) including the original Samsung EE-P3200
- different HDMI cables (including a 8k certified one)
- issues with a Thomson TV, Sony TV, Asus Monitor, Elgato 1080p capture card, AverMedia 4k capture card
- 3 brand new tablets (S7, S7+ and another S7+)
- all my adapters, cables and devices work 100% fine with: iPad Pro 2017, iPad Air 4, cheap Chinese Windows tablet
Hey yuri. You are not alone. i have the exact same problem. I tryed two different adapters, 3 power brackets. End device is my Elgato Capture card. Tryed it also on my Tv my Beamer and so on... My connection breaks randomly all the time. Its hard to find a solution for this problem.. Tab S7+ 5G

although i had a usb c hdmi hub that i bought for my s8 phone (not that long ago) i found it's actually the power source+hub that's the culprit.
i knew it does need power cable too in when hdmi out-ing however i thought that 1.5-2A charge is just fine and since it was a good build quality usb c hdmi hub that it will be just fine as well
it wasn't until i had accubattery confirm while running that even with the stock quick charge brick in, when Dexxing if the tablet screen is on too there's barely 0,4 Amps surplus charging the tablet battery after all the consumptions.
mind you i had external drive+usb mouse+usb keyb all hooked up at once.
either that (orig quick charger adapter from Samsung) did the trick or the other : LEVIN USB C hub i bought from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083DZ1...abc_A1006ASWRW8EZE438PK9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
but since these two changes my Dexxing is rock solid
at first i thought there's some proprietary trickery is in place that it only works with original Samsung gear (hubs) but i still found these to be too pricey so i got the aforementioned Levin which was of 15.97 gbp inc. posting
hope this helps solving it too

mind you i had external drive+usb mouse+usb keyb all hooked up at once.
either that (orig quick charger adapter from Samsung) did the trick or the other : LEVIN USB C hub i bought from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083DZ1...abc_A1006ASWRW8EZE438PK9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
but since these two changes my Dexxing is rock solid
at first i thought there's some proprietary trickery is in place that it only works with original Samsung gear (hubs) but i still found these to be too pricey so i got the aforementioned Levin which was of 15.97 gbp inc. posting
hope this helps solving it too

Well I gave up on the S7(+) long ago already. It did NOT work with the official Samsung power adapter + USB-C adapter.
Also just for testing... I had bought a cheap Samsung Galaxy S5e, and ALL adapters, ALL power bricks, ALL hdmi cables worked with that. Same on a Huawei Matepad Pro and a Lenovo P11 Pro (which I am using now). All my stuff (in every combination) works on all Android tablets (and iPads) that I tried.
And all Samsung "customer support" could tell me after 4 months was "apparently Samsung devices can not suit your needs when using capture cards" (apparently a 1.000 EUR device can not while their 400 EUR tablet can). No comment.
