The supplied cable is indeed a USB 3.0 cable. So.that shoots down my theory of why some folks might have not seen much improvement plugging their S5 into a USB 3.0 port. So I came here immediately because I knew I was wrong. I then noticed them in the cables I bought. It has no bag, so I got a really GOOD look into it, and discovered those added 5 pins at the deep end of the port. Thinking I got ripped off, I then opened the box for an "extension" USB 3.0 cable I bought so as to make hooking up to this new PCIe card easier than climbing behind my tower case on the floor. I see you are completely right! I am opening the USB3 stuff that I ordered, and at first I saw (through the unopened bag) what appeared to be only 4 connections in the larger end of the cables.
#Samsung mobile usb mass storage driver driver#
Reboot phone and PC right before attempting file transfer sometimes helps.Īnd of course you need the Samsung USB driver installed on your Windows PC.Ĭlick to expand.I need to apologize here, because I was misled by some pictures online. If you find you can't transfer files this way some causes can be: Unless you root, the (Verizon, for sure.not sure about others) S5 defaults to lock out any apps running in internal memory from writing to the real, external SD card. I have found that MTP will let me transfer all of my REAL external SD card's files to and from my Win7 PC, and it allows pretty much all folders in "Phone" (the internal storage) that do not have names beginning with a period to also be transferred to and from. Well, actually for BAD, but don't get me started on my usual rant over this issue. Sad to be the one to tell you this, but Google, in their infinite wisdom, has done away with USB Mass Storage in Android, for good.
