I just have an old Samsung Centura cellphone with a standard micro B connector. Will a USB 3.0 cable charge my phone faster or transfer files faster?

i dont use my Cable 3.0 for a Samsun cellphone, i use on my Hard Drive Portable WD 2TB Memory and yes, The Cable work Perfetly.

It won't work unless your phone supports it. The cable ends are different. I would imagine it's not 3.0 so it won't plug in at all.

The answer is no BUT if you combine the cord with a charger like a OEM 2.0 wall charger from samsung ( haven't tried the knock offs) it will charge faster because the wall mount supports the cord better. Think of a straw compare to a hose. Which one is faster? Sorry for the poor analogy.

I just used the same cable I would use to charge my phone from the wall. The only issue I had is you can't charge it and my phone at the same time with out 2 different cables. But yes, micro SD worked like a champ. I had a Jabra charger, and one for my Nokia Lumia and both worked fine.

I am not familiar with your device. What I can tell you is that there are 3 USB ends. The standard is the common USB large end which the cable has atone end. There are also a mini and micro ends of which this cable is fitted with a micro. Check your device to see what it requires. These cables are not all that expensive remember. I'll guess that you device most likely requires a micro. http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=378 http://www.phonescoop.com/glossary/term.php?gid=377

Change your USB Cable! Sometimes using a data transfer cable for charging purposes can give you only USB power. I noticed sometimes also when trying to connect my phone to the PC using the charging cable, the data cannot be read or not recognized by Kies! So I'm guessing that even though they look similar there are 2 types of Micro USB cables, one optimized for charging, and the other for Data transfer. Mine did not come with a cable, so I used my own, and it works fine.

It's a USB cable. Should be fast on any phone. The S3 is USB 2.0, BB10's are 3.0 compliant.

Recently when I was searching for a replacement for my data transfer cable for my portable hard drive, somehow it came up that I could use the charger cable that came with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I hope this is helpful.

No. Unless the USB device works on USB 2.0. It won't be as fast as with USB 3. I agree with Robert.

Just got this and it is a micro-USB 2.0 cable, not a 3.0. The micro 2.0 will plug into the micro USB 3.0 on the Galaxy S5.

Not sure I fully understand your question. The SanDisk Extreme USB 3.0 is a Flash Drive that plugs into and out of any USB port. If the port is 3.0, the transfer rate will be circa 10 X faster than a 2.0 Flash Drive. The Extreme model is the fastest. SanDisk sells an Ultra model too, found at Wally-World. And there is probably a Standard USB 3.0. The Extreme model writes at about 190MB/sec. All 3.0 Flash Drives are compatable with 2.0 USB ports on your computer.

USB spec (3.0) only has to do with data transfer speed so it will not affect the charging. I think wall versus car should not matter as the charger draws only what it needs and both should provide equally. Good luck!

You bet! USB 3.0 supports exponentially faster transfer rates, but it's also backwards compatible to work with 2.0 device connections.

Hello Robert, Since you have a Samsung Galaxy 3, you would need the cables with the data pins shortened for fast charge. I attached a link below to that cable: http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Micro-USB-Charging-Cable-Feet/dp/B009W34X1I/ Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

It takes the standard micro-USB connection (standard for many of the phones today). If you have a Motorola phone, that charger should work just fine.

Hi!!Don't worry about that.You can use a standard micro USB cable for charging, like normal smartphones.Thank you for considering.Sincerely,

Well I have used this cable to transfer files using my htc mytouch 4g slide and my samsung galaxy s4, and it has great transfer speeds. It should work even better with an actual motorola phone, I dont believe it will be a problem with your phone if it has transferred with another micro usb cable.

USB 3.0 cable and Power cord are 3 FT. Probably don't want USB 3.0 cable to be much longer than 6 ft unless you don't care about taking a hit in the data transfer rate. Copying a single file to to class 10 flash is fast. Copying 4 large 5GB plus files simultaneously to the same 128GB microSD class 10 card results in a data transfer rate of about 355 KB/s per file under Windows 8.1. Still better to copy one large file at a time. Source is 1TB usb 3.0 external HD and target is 128GB flash connected to Brightech hub. Hub and HD each plugged into separate USB 3.0 ports. Hub works as expected.
