Try pulling doen the notification bar and tapping on the USB connection rhen chsnging from MTP to Camera mode.

 

Mine connects ok in to the blue USB 3.0 ports but my Windows 7 says this device can go faster if I plug it into a USB 3.0, which its in !!!! Transfers speeds are at USB 2.0 performance. Anybody know how to get USB 3.0 work with the Note 3 ???

 

What I do to get it to play ball with USB 3.0 is to pull down the notifications menu when the device is connected and go into the menu behind 'Connected as a media device' where there are three choices, the bottom one starts up USB 3.0.

HTH

 

That does help. There was some review that mentioned it, but it seems ridiculous that you'd need to manually enable a connection mode every time you use it. Maybe someone will release an app (or perhaps a Tasker profile) to set that mode automatically every time you connect to a USB 3.0 device.

 

Agreed

 

OTG works just fine, better than the note 2

 

Kewl, did you plug in a keyboard or mouse?

 

just a thumb drive loaded with videos. when removing it you have to turn it off. hadnt thought of the keyboard or mouse duh

 

You can plug a keyboard in? Interesting.

 

You'll need an MHL adapter (or something), but I've read that it works.

 

I also have Windows 8. The weird thing is it worked the first time I tried this. But, now all that happens when I plug it into the USB 3.0 ports is that it charges. WTF? Nothing comes up in the notification bar for me to choose any settings.
