ok so I have activated usb3 in my bios and installed the nec drivers of asus site (2010 dated).
I see installed in device manager and everest.
I connected my s3 phone (via dock) and it shows usb2.
After reading I need a usb3 cable (now ordered) I understand it probably fell back to a usb2 mode, however.....
When I check lavalys everest it shows the phone connected to the usb2 hub not usb3 hub.
Its in the lowest usb ports (one of 2 next to lan port) which according to manual is usb 3 and I see usb3 labeled on the faceplate but the usb ports funny enough are not blue like they should be (none of the ports are blue).
Is it normal when using incompatible cable/device it will show as on the usb2 hub? or does this indicate something else is wrong?
I am hoping when the cable arrives tommorow the dock can pass through the usb3 signal as I like using the dock for the phone.
I have not enabled the power up function so the usb3 is running at half speed 2.5ghz but thats still way faster than usb2 so I am fine with it, the main thing is I want it to be able to charge my phone at 900ma instead of usb2 500ma and get the 200mB or so if I install a hdd usb enclosure to it.
