My Sprint GS5 takes around 1 1/2-2 hrs to charge form 10% up to 100%. How do I enable USB 3.0 mode so my phone will charge faster? Thanks in advance.

Well, don't you just have to use a real 3.0 USB cable? They box the phone with a 2.0. So I assume all you need to do to use 3.0 speeds is use a 3.0 cable.....right?
Not true. Here, from the linked article:Usb 3.0 mode us only advantageous for quicker data transfer speeds. There isn't any benefit charging wise

Another less obvious benefit is you'll be able to charge your phone directly from your PC or Mac much faster (assuming you have a USB 3.0-enabled device). USB 2.0 ports generally provide up to 500mA current, while USB 3.0 is 80 percent faster at 900mA, making plugging your phone into your laptop more akin to connecting it to a wall charger.
Dude. 10 to 100 in 90 minutes is how it should be.

New G5 out of the box yesterday. Seems it took 5+ hrs to charge from 25% to 100% using USB 3.0 thru laptop.
Am worried the device or OEM battery is defective.
Any thoughts?
Try charging with the stock wall charger that came with the phone
