I have the new lg G3 cell phone which needs an USB2.0hs connection, however my laptop only has standard 2.0, will this help?

I can't speak from a HW/SW designer's perspective; however, from the OHS (Open Hardware Summit) definition this issue is due to the expanding number of USB devices than the available 64K unique IDs available. I don't think the hub itself is going to "fix" this issue. Its function is merely "replicate" USB requests from one side to the other side so it will "pass through" all the IDs unchanged. That said, eventually if your laptop is connected it will see the same ID untranslated so it would be the same issue with or without the USB hub. That said, however, I would think a SW update should be able to "patch" this issue. I still think there's value in getting this USB hub as it has the number of ports as well as charging capabilities but you can just check this out using another hub to see. Good luck.

Don t know but has standard USB would assume you have a cable for your phone with USB on one end

Yes, as described earlier use cell phone adapter. Any adapter that you can connect USB will work.

I only have usb 2.0 on the computer I upgraded and it worked fine. most (maybe all) devices that work with usb 3.0 will also work with 2.0.

Regarding the USB 3.0., an alternative is to get a laptop with an express slot, 34 or 34/54, and buy a plug in adapter which offers you 2-USB 3.0 slots, they're backwards compatible for USB 2 & 1 too. Got mine from Tiger direct. This works fine if you're ok with something the size of the end of your thumb out the side of your machine.

Every USB 3.0 device is 2.0 compatible... you just loose speed/throughput and extremely high resolution, multi-monitor setups with GbE all running at the same time would likely suffer.

I had to buy a connector cord to allow me to use as USB for my laptop. I know there are different cords available to help adapt to different phones. You might try the plantronics web page. Sorry but I don't know for sure.

I'm not sure about your LGG2, but I have a tablet with a micro USB and I connect a mouse with a regular USB using this adapter. It works fine.

Yes, all USB 3.0 devices will work in a USB 2.0 port, they will just run significantly slower due to the limits of USB 2.0 technology.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. However, you will not see the performance increase as the hardware inside this device only supports 2.0. To reiterate, yes, you may plug this into a 3.0 USB port and it will work 100% as specified at the performance of a USB 2.0.

Sorry, I don't know. If you searched your model number and determined if it had a USB 3.0 port, you'd know since it will not work as fast with a 2.0 port.

I don't own the device, but LG states the G3 to be USB OTG compatible, so I don't see the reason for it not to.

This is a good question. I just tried to connect my cellphone to USB, and it works. Laptop showed my cellphone disc. So it`s extra USB port for laptop.

USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are completely backwards compatible, so if it operates off of USB2.0 technology and you plug it into a USB3.0 port, it'll work just as if that port was 2.0. So, if you're having issues with it working in the 3.0 Port the issue may be the port itself, not the headset.Try finding a 3.0 device (like a flash drive) and trying that, if it works try another 2.0 device besides the headset. If all else fails force an update on the drivers.

It's a standard 2.0 USB connection. The wording in the description is just funny. Any standard USB port will work.

If your question is whether it will plug into an older, USB 2.0 port and work, the answer is yes. They say the connection will be slower than it would be with updated hardware, but I still noticed about a 2-3x transfer speed increase when using this new HDD/cable versus my old one with the same laptop. And yes, it comes with a USB 3.0 cable as well, although it's stupidly short...barely long enough to hang off the side of my 32" flat screen and have the HDD sit flat. You'd have to buy a longer USB 3.0 cable if you wanted one, as this HDD is incompatible with the old, 2.0 cables.

Yes, I use it for both USB 3 and 2 and it works fine. But it is a lot slower with 2.0.
