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.

Hiya,
I just got my cable from expansys, the vga and s-video out is working fine, but i haven't got any thing usb to work yet. I've tried flash Drives and a card reader, just no response, no light or any thing... is there a trick to it or is it not very compatable or is there a chance mine is faulty?
cheers
My guess is that although it is a Host, it does not supply any power, I say this because the battery is only 3.7 V DC and USB devices are 5 V DC, this means that there is not enough Volts in the advantage to power a USB device to start with, never mind powering a USB device and an Advantage at the same time.
You will probably need to plug it into a USB hub that supplies it's own power, like this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-4-Por...106823769QQcategoryZ96866QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I had the same problem but it was because the TV out was still on. Once I turned this off in the settings menu it worked fine.
I too had no trouble hooking up a flash drive. No other peripherals were attached to the cable. Alas, no go on a hard-drive MP3 player, but trying a powered hub is a good idea.
Have you tried connecting your USB device, and then soft resetting?
Works for me.
I have no detection of USB devices by my Advantage.
I tried with and withour Soft Reset before and after the cable connection, before and after the cable and flash drive connection, with or without the VGA or Video Output disabled or enabled, but my Advantage does not recognize any USB device (I tried with 2 flash drive, a keyborad and an optical mouse. Nothing to do. These devices do not work with my Advantage).
It seems that the relative drivers are missing.
Someone has a sure fix or solution to this problem ??
Thanks
Battery Powered USB Hub...
This device should work well with the x7500/Advantage. It doesn't require you to carry around a bulky power plug. It runs off of 4 AAA batteries and provides power for up to 4 USB devices. Since the x7500/Advantage has limited power and can't power external drives itself, this is a nice addition and cheap. Hope someone finds it useful.

I have the Dopod U1000. I have connected a thumb drive and a USB mouse without issue. The mouse is useless as far as I can tell as there is no pointer though the buttons work.
I have no problems with a T-Mobile Ameo and a 1Gb Corsair USB Flashdrive - don't even need a soft reset. It's listed as 'Hard Disk' on the Ameo.
Question though: can I just unplug it when done? I'm used to 'safely removing hardware' on the PC, and it just feels wrong unplugging it from the Ameo, but I can't see any similar 'safely remove' method.
Hi.
It depends of the usb device. My 1GB pen drive is recognized but my 4GB isnt recognized (my 160 GB isnt). So I suppose If the usb device isnt powered then only "very low powered" devices are recognized...
If I connect my 160 GB and I plug it to AC then It is recognized correctly...
Does mini usb-usb host cable exist? Where to buy it?
THX!
Look this one http://www.pixmania-pro.it/it/it/255677/art/cowon-iaudio/cavo-usb-host.html#
seems to be what I'm looking for...don't you?

Search the forum for the Modaco Mouse driver. It has a mouse pointer and works flawlessly with a USB Mouse!
4 in 1 Cable
I found te following description of this cable:
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=145166
The HTC SC V100 4-in-1 cable can split the HTC proprietary 16-pin interface on the Advantage into these 4 functions:

1. Thumbdrive
2. Card reader
3. USB keyboard
4. USB mouse
- VGA output: Connect the Advantage to output the screen contents to a projector or PC monitor
- TV output – S-video: Connect the Advantage to output the screen contents to a TV through the S-video interface
- TV output – Composite Video: Connect the Advantage to output the screen contents to a TV through the composite video interface (AV cable)
Technical Details:

Hi,
I have the HTC 4 in 1 cable for the T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage 7500) and the ability to access a USB thumbdrive or stick appears to depend on the device.
The following devices worked without a hitch:
- Kingston DataTraveler 1GB
- Q motion 1 GB
- SanDisk MobileMate SD+ (This a SD card reader in a USB stick format, very handy to copy data from a SD/miniSD/microSD card to your 7500 without going through Activesync)
Another noname USB stick that I had did not work.
So the trick is to find a low powered USB stick.
Cheers,
Tim
Please can someone give me some exaples about how could I use
Video/S-Video/ option in 4 in 1 cable, considering that I can image how to properly use VGA out and USB host?
THX so much!
Hi,
before I buy it, could it work?
USB 2.0 (compatible 1.x)
Adapter USB from Type A (female) to mini USB 5pin (male)
THX so much!

Yes, that should work for you. I'm sure it's not more than $5.00 USD. ;-)

Are you hoping to connect USB accessories to your Athena with this?
If so, it will not work.
Only the 4 in 1 Host cable connected to the ext USB socket will do that.
This adaptor will only connect to the Sync & Charge socket, and will not provide USB Host capabilities.

So it will not provide me host function...?
Than the HTC cable should have something like a "chip" in it to provide host, is it right?
Yes, the USB Host chip must be either in the addon cable, or linked to the extUSB socket in the Athena. But definitely not the sync & charge socket.
when looking at the storage control panel, it lists internal, sdcard-ext, and then "/mnt/usbdisk_1.1.1" and says "insert an [sic] USB disk for mounting".
so if i were to come up with some sort of adapter, could i plug a thumb drive into my phone's micro usb port to move files between the phone and the thumb drive? i can think of plenty of times that would be useful!
Tried. OTG cable works with Samsung galaxy S2 devices (Skyrocket using either SKY ICS or rooted OTA) but haven't got it to work on our Droids...(Bionic ICS leak, RAZR ICS OTA, Droid 4 ICS OTA...all rooted).
But if someone can prove me wrong I'd be happy to "eat my words" ...

OTG works, BUT only in a very cumbersome way, since external power is needed.
A powered USB hub does not suffice, since it only powers the slave devices, not the host (= phone). The phone must be in charge-mode, which requires a Y-cable.
You need:
- an OTG adapter
- a USB hub with mini-USB in
- a USB Y cable with 2 normal USB plugs and one mini-USB out
Then
1. Connect the OTG adapter to your phone's micro-USB input
2. Connect the 'middle' USB plug of the USB Y cable into the OTG adapter
3. Connect the 'outer' USB plug of the USB Y cable to a charger (can be a portable battery as well)
4. Connect the mini-USB plug of the USB Y cable to the hub output
5. Connect any device you want to use to the USB hub
It looks like this (found this picture for Razr):

Edit: I verified it for Droid 4 last week, but didn't take my own picture yet. Works with ICS .215 leak, no 3rd party apps (like 'StickMount') seem to be needed.
Edit2: According to some other posts in this forums (search for 'OTG') it will only work for FAT32 formatted drives. Didn't check this in detail but my drive was already FAT32. Also I found it did not work for my cheap wireless keyboard's USB dongle, but connecting a wired keyboard worked fine.
...reminded again why I love this community...
...no possible links to a purchase of this "y" cable?
Be strong and very Koragus, my ninja...
Glad I could help!
They come with some portable harddisks, so that's where I got mine. Not sure about the linking policy on XDA, please remove if not allowed. Here's an example:

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.
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.

Hello all,
Does anyone have any experience with external NVMe to USB-C enclosures? I have a 512GB NVMe M.2 that I am using with a "Sabrent USB 3.1 Aluminum Enclosure for M.2 NVMe". It works beautifully on my PC on both USB 3.0 and USB-C. I formatted it to exFAT which i could access on my phone before but when I connect the Sabrent it only recognises a device that it provides power to and nothing else.
I tried it on my wife's Galaxy S9 and it appeared for a few seconds. Long enough for the phone to show the correct name of the manufacturer and for the volume to show up under "Files" but then it disappeared and I could not get it to connect again. I tried using a USB-C to USB-C device to no avail. It is as if it doesn't exist except for the light coming on. The enclosure itself works perfectly with my laptop.
Thanks in advance
i had similar problem with a usb 2 enclosure. Turns out phone didnt have enough power to power the hard drive. I managed to get a split usb cable, used that to connect enclosure to phone and battery pack

Thanks @imy300. The phone is perfectly capable of powering an enclosure with a 1TB SSD drive but not one with a 512GB NVMe one!
Now to find a split cable to test this
