I currently use a USB 2.0 flash drive with a USB 2.0 OTG adapter.
The transfer speeds can be a little slow.
I see there are USB 3.0 OTG adapters on eBay such as this one: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/311139411713
If I hook a USB 3.0 flash drive to this adapter, will I be able to transfer files at USB 3.0 speeds?

From my testing 3.0 speeds were only seen from pc accessing phones internal storage. Read write of external sd didn't change and usb host mode I am 99.9% sure only supports 2.0.
Btw, I use the 3.0 otg connector just because it fits more snug, totally prefer it over 2.0 micro cable even though the pins go unused.

I have a freeview TV adapter plugged into my note 3. Problem is I can't charge it so I have to stop watching TV and wait until its charged. Can I get anything like a micro USB hub. I've seen a few but they are only regular USB ports and not USB micro which I need for my devices. Thanks in advance.
I have MHL to HDMI adapter which hooks up to TV and to a phone charger (other side goes to phone) so it is possible, but I can't say if usb hub would work, since I have not test it.
You can connect a regular USB hub to your micro usb to usb OTG adapter. I tried connecting both a mouse and a keyboard to the hub and it works fine
USB hub won't allow you to charge the device while they are connected. you can either use MHL to HDMI cable as Pete4k advice and enjoy MHL 2.0 while charging or buy one of those USB OTG adapter reader but where you can connect several peripherals and charge at the same time.
can someone confirm that samsung galaxy s3 tab sm-T80N support usb otg, I can't find any info about usb otg , manual says usb-c port charging / accessories , I don't have usb -c to micro usb adapter to try it, I do have micro usb2 otg cable which work fine on samsung galaxy s5, I use otg for usb devices like usb flash drives, usb midi keyboards, usb audio cards for recording audio
thank you
I tested with a mouse, which worked fine. I'll test flash drive later.
[edit]
Just tested flash drive.
Worked quite well.

which adapter do you use ucb-c to micro usb b or just plain usb-c to usb A, or usb c to usb A with otg support, or usb- c to usb micro b female with otg
thank you
I use this one:
iXCC USB Type C to USB 3.0 Type A Adapter, Charge and Sync Cable, On The Go (OTG Host Cable) for Type-C Supported Devices (6 Inch) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017TJN22C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_EEE6oG3Taotv8
is it possible to connect fysical keyboard with connector usb-c normal male / usb 3.0 female ? Read something about OTG, but don't understand it well. If I try, is there a chance I break the working of the tablet ?
OTG is working, and if a tablet or phone doesn't have OTG then you can't break it by plugging in an adaptor.
It's also USB 3.0, and can power an external hard-drive (not just any old hard-drive, a usb to sata adapter with laptop drive!)
I can't seem to get USB 3.0 working on this tablet. I copied 30gb to a 128gb UHS 3 SD card and it copied at 17MB/s (sd card empty)
I don't know why it is so slow!
I am at work so I cannot check the original cable but the first question is "was the cable you used 3.0?", with a blue connector? I actually cannot find out the specifications of the USB port of our tablet, not sure if it supports USB 3.0 but the cable (if I remembered correctly) that came with it is not a blue cable.

I think it is USB 3.0 cable, it has a blue end to it (on USB A end) I have another cable somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.
Those are in line with the speeds I have gotten, over a USB C cable, to a gen 2 port. I don't think it supports faster transfers.

Personally, I just think that MTP is slow AF compared to MSC. Shame that android had removed MSC support. Pulling the SD out and using a reader seems to be the only fast way these days.
I'm also talking about USB OTG here.
Given that it is a Hi Sillicon Hi 3660, there is a manual for it.
That manual states that it has USB 3.0 OTG support..
https://en.alpha-star.org/docs/hardware-development-for-hikey960/hi3660-user-manual
see page 64..
Also worth noting that MTP is down to the device speed i think, it's odd and sometimes doesn't even max USB 2.0 even on my one plus. (i don't know why, but MTP is bad).
That speed was using USB OTG, which in host mode is supported at Superspeed according to that manual, so the only thing stopping it is software, in theory.
I sent Huawei an email, and they confirmed that it hasn't got USB 3.0
"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support.
The USB specification on the M5 tablet are:
hmm, after thinking about this, the hi 3660 has a USB 3.0 controller built in, and there are two modes, SS at 125MHz and HS at 60MHz, maybe a software update could change this.
I'm doubtful though, as the internal wiring might be different, and probably is.
Hi,
Does anybody know of a USB-C cable featuring both Huawei SuperCharge and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data trasfer rate?
I could find only cables with either one or the other feature, not both.
Also the original Huawei cable supplied supports SuperCharge (together with the original Huawei charger) but it's only USB 2.0, with max transfer rate of 480 Mbps (USB Hi-Speed) when connected to a USB 3.0/3.1 port of my desktop PC.
Cheers.
This one on Wish worked for me, but you do need a charger marked 'SuperCharge'

Not sure if it's USB 3.0 - how do you tell?

Well, I have purchased several cables compatible with SuperCharge, but none of them was USB 3.0, just 2.0.
I also have tried many USB C cables that were actually USB 3.0, but none of them was SuperCharge compatible.
So I'm looking for a cable that supports BOTH SuperCharge and USB 3.0 data transfer speed, but I couldn't find any so far.
I started thinking that it is not technically possible to have both features in a single cable, it's probably one or the other due to hardware limitations.
You can tell if it's USB 3.0 when you plug the phone to a USB 3.0 port on your Windows PC.
If the cable is USB 2.0 only, a pop-up saying that "This device can perform faster" will appear and the data transfer speed will be much slower.
I have that: https://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_1709066.html?wid=1433363
