Anyone else unable to get the Galaxy Note to connect to a PC through a USB 3.0 port? If I switch to a USB 2.0 port, it comes up fine.

Found the issue - I just built a new desktop which supports faster charging of devices through USB. The specification is Battery Charging BC 1.1. The Galaxy Note does not support this. In fact, it isn't supported by many devices so I disabled it and VOILÀ... USB 3.0 ports see the Galaxy Note.
I'm curious to hear if this is causing your issue as well. The BC 1.1 spec is supported by the iPhone which I'm coming from and you list as one of your devices.
In my case, BC 1.1 is implemented by Asus' AI Charger+ - a function of their AI Suite. It can also be implemented by a stand-alone app called AI Charger.

Hi, could you kindly explain how to go about disabling the BC 1.1. Do i do it within Asus Suite or else where.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Yes its within the Asus Suite. Bring up the Asus AiSuite application and click on the Tools button. Within the menu popup, select AiCharger+. You'll see enable and disable buttons.
THANK YOU!

Thanks for your post!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was totally buggged about why my USB 3.0 couldn't recognize the media device!
I even called Samsung that my awesome custom rig that Samsung could never put out into market was not recognizing the media device. And they said that they cannot guarantee USB 3.0 connectivity with the phone on a non Samsung computer. LMAO
Its just the AI Charger + LMAO!
Dear all
I am posting it here as the developers never replies in Q&A.
Hello all,
I am a happy customer of p780 as I am not that techie so nothing is bothering me. Not even the battery life as it is giving me 1 n half day which is more than any other smartphone today.
But as you know there are no mirroring app for lenovo p780 so I am concerned that this phone will be able to screen mirroring like Samsung or not.
I got this hope when I was going through the new KitKat update and I came across wireless display. ( settings>display> wireless display) it is something to do with Intel widi feature but I don't know how to make it run and what hardware or software is required.
The hope came from the new mobile assistant which has screen sharing through USB ( magic plus ) when u connect the phone to laptop it opens lenovo suite , magic plus etc. It works night but the need to have display wireless is increased.
Please tell me how and what is needed as I am facing the same issue in my lenovo twist laptop where it says Widi is ready to use. But frankly speaking I don't know how to use.
Any suggestions please reply to get this thing working?

hi can you send me the screen shot for the same.
because as soon as i enable wireless display it shows no near by device found.
additionally if you walk through the step to ho to use it , i will be very obliged.
btw i was trying to use airserver. http://www.airserver.com/Download/Referrer/4353441 try it out it is a awesome piece of utility but there are so many glitch as now windows 8.1 will work as a miracast reciver but in this it never shows miracast is enabled. additionally i have used this airserver and did the screen mirroring using ezcast app (android) the only problem is it just shows the app i open from ezcast and not complete screen mirroring.
Please guide as I am a Noob but open to learn more.
I ordered a gear fit 2 today, does any one have experience with the first gear fit, or any other wearables? I was fairly impressed with the specs, mainly the GPS and standalone music player. Love my 6, but having this thing in my pocket while I run is fairly cumbersome. I'll post a review once it comes in.

I have the original gear fit. Thanks to the open fit app it still works past kitkat. The stand alone music player has to be a nice option in itself, the original one only worked with the Samsung music player

Nice! Are you stock, or running a rom? I'm currently on N dp3 and was a little concerned that they may not play well together. Have you put any music on the band? If so, do you have to use a phone to do this, or can you use a PC?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
running a custom rom, no issues at all
didnt put any music on the band yet, but the "music" app on the band controls what ever music app you have running on the phone, so that is cool
I assume you transfer music from your phone to the band via BT; no usb connection on the band at all

Do you have force close issues with the S health app? I think the issue may be that I'm running N DP3, may have to go back to 6.0.1
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
i'm sure that S health isn't ready for N yet..
I don't bother with N until there is actual source; since your running pre-release software, I wouldn't expect it to work properly..
no problems running s health with any MM rom I have flashed so far..

Fit 2 works OK with nexus 6, it syncs well and has a stable connection (stock rom). Google messenger is a bit of a hit and miss with the sms reply function, but textra works fine.
There is a huge issue with all non Samsung phones the gear appstore is severely lacking, and it's very obvious when you connect the fit 2 to your nexus. Since launch there has not been any added apps, not even Spotify. Youre stuck with 8 watch faces and no alarm.
For users with Samsung phones there's a plethora of app options to choose from, so at the moment it's not a very good combination to run the fit 2 with anything but a Samsung phone
I'm really pissed of with Google, it seems that their ways to stop us from using what they doesn't want is by killing what we use...
My Nexus 5X already died into the bootloop issue, and today I've just seen that the Nexus 6P is having the exact same issue, which they say as a faulty hardware (Really? 2 completely different brands, with the EXACT SAME ISSUE? You must to be kidding me..).
This is not the first time that Google is killing what we use.
I'm a user of Miracast technology, since marshmallow it wasn't present, but you could activate via a build.prop tweak if you are rooted, in nougat they introduced a bug (yes, intentionally), that the phone will crash If you this tweak and connect to the tv, forcing me to buy their Chromecast 2.
This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..
The Nexus 6 has also had something similar with it's notification LED, which can be activated only If rooted..
Now I really don't know what to do, I'm thinking of downgrading to Marshmallow before my phone got into bootloop, and not having another paper weight on my desk.
The only thing i can assure is that my next phone will be an Galaxy S8, and not another Google Crap phone.

So that's why Miracast no longer works. ?

I agree. It is getting ridiculous. All of the reasons we love the Nexus line are becoming blurry. Miracast is a huge one. Smart tv, Xbox One, and now I have to have a damn Chromecast as well. I'm starting to feel like Apple users must feel. Poor souls.
I don't understand. My Miracast works perfectly fine with Panasonic TVs and LG.

Are you on stock 7.1? Also did you enabled in build.prop and it worked?
My device won't work with my Samsung TV JS7200 or Windows 10 Miracast receiver.

I am on stock 7.0.1 (latest). I didn't change anything in build.prop. I just go to Settings -> Display -> Cast
I've read online that it works with older Miracast (first, second gen) TVs. For e.g. it works with Roku 3 but not 4.

Given that the 6P has a metal build and that no other metal phones(from the top of my head) have Qi charging, I would assume it was due to the the metal build. And in regards to saying that they are just trying to sell "Fast Charging USB C solution", wouldn't you think that they would generate more revenue from implementing a convenient way to charge a phone?
Based on your opinion and what you had said, it sounds like the S8 is the perfect device for you. It's so great to have a plethora of device choices!

Well, my dead Nexus 5X has a plastic body and Google removed QI Charger from it too, something I found really useful, which I was using since Nexus 4 and had to stop on the new ones..

Oh, didn't know that.
But I totally understand you.
Google played a "good guy" comparing to Apple for a few years now, and I really saw this coming. Basically they're just the same. Profit, profit, profit.
You want to cast? Buy a Chromecast.
I really wouldn't be surprised if their Project Fi gains success, and they decide to lock their future devices to their own network.
Nokia years ago was really something else, but it was in the way of the American capitalism so they had to remove it from their perfect market picture.

I have tried several times to connect smart view to my TV with both my new Galaxy note 8 as well as my wife's. It appears Samsung has put a block on it so true mirroring is no longer possible but selected files can be used through Samsung connect or other 3rd party apps.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to get this to work properly as my older devices do?

Thanks for the info.
I appreciate your input but FHD+ is my default setting for my display And that's what I keep it on unless I'm using VR gear.
I was on the phone with a Samsung representative for 45 minutes and they could not figure it out. She said I should have true Screen Mirroring but no matter what we tried it would not work unless we used a 3rd party app . And then it's not true mirroring , it's just selected media share.

Try removing the 3rd party casting apps. I had AllCast installed on my S8+ and that turned out to be the problem.
Been there, done that.
I removed all 3rd party apps till there was nothing left but to hit the mirroring button in the drop down menu and this did not help
were you able to find out the solution to your problem? I am facing the same problem and have tried the solutions mentioned in this thread. It does not work for me . Any help is appreciated.
Samsung givith and takith away.
Samsung is becoming more like apple everyday with proprietary software. My older Samsung devices work on everything. The Note 8 and I would assume the same would be for the S8 and S8 Plus will only do true screen mirroring with Samsung devices. I remembered that my Blu-ray player which is Samsung is also Wireless and will do mirroring and it worked just fine. Then I tried it on a flat panel 2017 Samsung TV and again it worked just fine but go to any other brand or older TV and you have to use third-party software which does not do true screen mirroring. In your settings on any older phone you will have a setting for mirroring in the Advanced connections. But if you look in the settings for the Note 8 the only mirroring setting you find is for a USB connection to your car. Samsung is more and more making it impossible to connect to anything easily but their own devices.

But in my case I own a series 6 samsung led f6400 and still I am not able to connect.The connection happens for a moment and then the screen mirroring terminates. Am I missing any setting?
It works just fine with my note 8 and Samsung TV.
Same problem.
I had this exact same problem. The solution was stupidly simple. When I hit "smart view" all the devices show up. Tapping on the device I want does not work. I actually had to hold down on the device I wanted for a second, and it immediately connected.
It worked totally fine on FHD+ though, it must be a bug. Hold it on WQHD+.
Thank You!
Yes, that worked. Thank you. I wasn't sure exactly what you meant when you said you have to hold it down but it's long hold. If you long hold the icon on the phone when selecting the Samsung smart TV, then in my case I got a request for a validation code which appeared on my TV. It worked. I have the same problem with the Galaxy note 8, and the Galaxy S8. This is definitely a bug, because it actually said it was connected. But then it would time out and the Screen Mirroring on the TV would stop. So glad you came up with the solution. Thanks for sharing with us
If you send a video from notes 8 to the Smart Tv to you is it fluid? To me it jams and then it takes back.

This is the whole reason, scratch that, one of the big reasons (among so many) why the note 8 will be the last Samsung device that I purchase. I have a Galaxy S5 that screen mirrors with audio to any TV. I also have a Galaxy Grand Prime, which is a mid level device, rooted with oreo on it and it screen mirrors just fine.
This is now why I have just firmly decided why I'm gonna root this device and put oreo or pie on it, chalk the rest all up to experience and call it a day. Screw the Samsung software. The next device will be a one plus or Pixel or lastly maybe Motorola. Unbranded and boot loader unlockable. Never again will I deal with a company that wants to double their prices on devices in just two years till they are now $1000 and then eliminate so many features that the hardware is more than capable of thus making your device half as appealing as other flagship devices. Handcuff you and locking the boot loader up tight so you can't do what you want to do with your device you spent a $1000 on. That is all just discussing to me. Big business wanting you to pay more more astronomical dollars all the while wanting to control you and your device more and more. So long, and nice knowing you Samsung but I never really believed in or bought into your marketing and business model.

I actually like Samsung Electronics but I agree with you here. This is my last phone from Samsung because I don't like the fact that it's locked down like that.. What also pisses me off is the fact that Samsung is USING Android as their operating system and Android is OPEN SOURCE software and Samsung shouldn't be taking an open source software and then locking it down! That's like buying a car and then taking the name of it off and putting your own brand name on it and that's not right at all.
