My android system is consistently the highest battery user, but percentages aside I'm getting pretty bad battery life. Average life is less that 9 hours. I had 16% battery life left today after 8 hours off my charger. That only included 1.5 hours of onscreen time. That's really bad. Any suggestions?

So far I have tried a different cable, and a completely different s5 with a different SD card. Both had the same problem. So, I think that narrows it down to a problem with my PC or a limitation of the device. Unfortunately my PC is the only one in the house with USB 3.0 so I can't test that to...

Thanks for trying. I have yet to try a different cable, card, or PC. I'll try to give that a shot and let you know how it turns out.

Ok so anyone have any idea what is going on with my phone if that is the case? I was just able to transfer a 275 MB file to the DCIM folder in USB mode. Shortly after any file I attempted to transfer said the file was unable to copy because the device was no longer connected. I could still...

Yes I can do all of that as well, but when I go to access Computer\SAMSUNG-SM-G900V\Card\DCIM\Camera on my PC for instance, it just sits and loads for a while, never completes, then becomes unresponsive. I only have one picture in there so it's not because the folder is large.

Yeah to the guys who think it is working I believe there is some confusion here. Using a USB 3.0 cable works fine no matter what mode you are in. Simply plugging in the USB 3.0 cable does not mean you are transferring using 3.0 speeds. USB 3.0 cables can also transmit at 2.0 speeds, it depends...

To the people who say they are able to do this, are you sure you're going into the connection options and switching the phone from media device to media device (usb 3.0)? After you complete that step you are still able to transfer files to and from an SD card in the expandable memory slot?

That is a real bummer. I mean wouldn't the heaviest data anyone would be moving around be located on the SD card.

Why is the SD card disabled when I put the phone is USB 3.0 mode. Wouldn't I want to be able to transfer things off and onto my SD card with the fastest possible speed? Is there a way to transfer with USB 3.0 and have the SD card enabled?
