I have tested with several cables and multiple manufacturers and multiple computers and cannot get a USB3.0/3.1 cable to keep a connection with the PC. USB 2.0 works fine.
I called Samsung and they are telling me that they only support the cable that came with the phone, which is a 2.0 cable. So they don't even support the 3.1 standard they advertise. I am about to return the phone over this. I have not found anyone else having this problem, but I have also not heard that anyone is using USB3 successfully either.
Yes I have success
I transferred over 7gb of data from a pc to a Note8 (sandisk 400gb Sd card) using a choetech USB c 3.1 gen 2 superspeed cable. The pc has superspeed ports (Alienware Area 51). Did not have any issue the two times ive connected the note 8 to a pc.
I have a type C to 3.1 type A cable from Anker, but have only used it on 3.0 ports on my laptop and desktop, definitely works super fast (even flashing the firmware with Odin - only takes a few seconds for the full package). I ordered 2 different cables though, one was apparently charging-only and didn't even work to fast charge.

I was planning to buy Anker Powerline Plus USB - C to USB A 3.0 cable. Isn't the cable good enough to fast charge the phone? Doesn't it charge as fast as the regular one (which came in the box) does? How much max current can be drawn using anker cable to charge note 8 and how much time does it takes to fully charge the device with anker cable compared to the original one?
Kindly provide these details, as I am confused whether to buy this cable or not.
TIA..
I have Trilink braided USB-C 3.1 cables that I bought on Amazon. They work perfect, super fast transfer speeds, and my phone charges the same as with the OEM cable that it comes with.

Does your PC actually support USB 3.0+ and are the ports setup correctly? Too many motherboard manufacturers poorly implemented USB 3.0 on their rushed motherboard, and Microsoft had to suffer the long end by providing poorly patched drivers because the boards never had the proper port insulations.

I will look into this but one is a brand new Dell Latitude and the USB 3 worked on my desktop with my S5.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the exact difference is between these two USB cables? Are they wired differently internally or is it just a difference in the quality of the copper used?
I have tried several USB "charging only" cables to connect my GT-N7000 to a PC. Some will data synch and allow file transfers but only in one direction and only some of the time, some of them won't connect at all ie are charge only.
At least one cable I bought from a leading IT store stated "USB Data/Synch" on the packaging but only works as a data/synch cable on a Windows XP netbook but NOT on my Windows 7 x 64 desktop PC. It won't connect for data synch at all on the desktop.
I have Samsung's USB drivers installed on both machines.
Only the original Samsung Data/Sych cable works reliably for both charging and data synching on both my PCs.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks in advance
Trevor
All of those cables sound non-standard. A decent charging cable like the original Samsung one will likely have all 5 pins: power, data-, data+, ground and the other one which I can't remember. The power will be rated at at least an amp for charging and it should all work fine.
Power only cables may just have power and ground to keep costs down and some data cables are only rated at 500mA as that is to the USB spec.
I'd just get another Samsung cable, pretty cheap on play.com.

i have a galaxy S4 and have just ordered a G4 (standard micro usb). can i use my old car charger and pc data cable, are they the same as the G4 or do i have to buy new ones?
TIA
EDIT: gsmarena specs say micro USB 2.0 for both, so i'm guessing they're the same
With the exception of the new Type-C Nexus devices and a few odd samsung tablets, most android devices follow the same standards (to my knowledge). I think only the S5 had the USB 3.0 plug -- in which case the cable wouldn't work -- so you should be fine.
You can plug a micro usb 2.0 cable into a micro usb 3.0 device, but you can't plug a micro usb 3.0 cable into a micro usb 2.0 device.
But I want usb type-c to replace everything.

That should be a thing of the past now.
USB 3.0 never caught on and will be replaced with USB type C.
That is a good thing as the USB 3.0 end was a hideously huge waste of time designing.

Yes, the micro USB 3.0 connector is just crap. It breaks easily, and isn't particularly small anyway.
I had the S4 and I use the same charger and cable I used to charge it. That charger/cable is old now, at first it charged at 1900mAh but now it only reaches 900mAh. It is ok for a charge during the night. I had to buy a new USB cable that is charging a little bit faster.
I have a quickcharge 2.0 charger and cable that I use in extreme cases where I need ultra quick charges.
Hi, I'm connected via the stock Samsung cable to a USB3.1 port running Windows 10 onto a fast Samsung NVMe internal drive. Latest Samsung drivers installed. Transfers from the phone (S10e SD) are averaging about 50MB/sec. I was expecting a lot higher speed. An SSD in USB 3.0 enclosure and good USB stick are transferring the same large files at 400+ & 200+, but the phone is barely above USB 2.0 speed. Am I missing something?
Sorry for the bump but i could confirm that the super tiny and short USB cable in the box is 2.0... I don´t understand why...It is that the cable was in the original S10 box otherwise i thought it was a cheap clone... It works great with USB 3.0 cables from Ugreen but you need to buy it by yourself...
I would assume you have USB 3.0 support on your computer if you have an NVME drive. If that's the case, have you checked the drivers for your USB slots that use 3.0 on your Windows 10 machine?
When you say transfer with other devices do you mean transferring to/from your phone or to/from your computer?
Yes, RyZen rig with properly functioning USB. SSD in a USB enclosure transfers same files at over 400MB/sec. Phone is slow in both directions. This is from internal storage, not micro SD. Hopefully this isn't "normal" for this device, I was looking forward to upgrading this speed over my USB 2.0 S7.
I tried another cable, same result. Then I ordered up some cables that were explicitly touted as USB 3.0 cables, and had blue connectors. Transfer speed jumped WAY up. It appears the cable Samsung provides is USB 2.0 only. Lame of Samsung to skimp out on the cheapest part in the box & make their flagship look bad in the process. Well, at least the stock cable will do fine as a car charging wire.
First it must be USB type c to USB A. 3.0
What USB standard nobody seems to know. For sure but most tell me its a USB 3.0 At the A end.
And USB Type C at the other end.
Next we need to know what is required in the cable to support Dex.
Next we need to know what is required to support Samsung Fast Charge standard. I hear its not the same as Quick Charge.
Is there any cable out there that does all these things.
I know the cable that comes with the phone does not do this.
i.e. I fails in the USB transfer speed dept.
In short.
Dex compatible,
Fast Charge compatible. As per this link we only need Fast Charge 2.0
But I wonder why does Samsung Claim to use its own standard. i.e. what is the diffirence between the Samsung standard and QC standard.
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
USB 3.0 Standard compatible for high speed data transfer.
(They say if the USB A port is blue and has more than 4 pads it will work).
Ps: So far I have figured that my wifes One Plus 6 cable does all these jobs.
Answering my own question.
Got to amazon.
Search using this text usb type c to usb a 3.1
I got an amazon Basic from the search the USB A port is blue in color an indication that it is 3.0 It does everything Dex, fast speed transfer and fast charge.
Glad that you managed to get your cable. But for future reference any standard USB A 3.0 - Type - C charging cable will be good. However beware of multi-plug to USB A 3.0 cables as they don't have the best charging speeds, unless you have a high wattage power supply.
I'm using a nice quality INIU cable, has nice quality braided cover, a led for dark car charging, to see cable.
What do you guys use? My already owned cables doesn't work on data transfer. Only charging. So I need a cable with data transfer capabilities and can fast charge my S21Ultra. What do you guys recommend?
Got my new phone yesterday and tried all my cables and dongles, but I could not get data transfer to work. Then I tried the short usb c to usb c cable that came with the new phone. It worked immediately.

Yes it does work but I need something reasonably long and usable.

I've had zero issues with these 6' Anker ones from Amazon. I've had them since the beginning of the year and use them daily.
I found with AUGM S21 Ultra update my data cables bar USB C to USB C cables stopped working. Prior to this update most USB A to USB C data cables worked.
