Hey all,
Bought my TF today and iam an android user for long time..so rooted it...installed prime rom on it..Is it me or when I try to connect to USB to PC.. it connects as a media player and shows storage..fine but the speed in unbelievebly slow! Like for a 300 mb file taking me 40 mins?!! Is it same for all of you guys? If Iam doing something wrong...please guide me!!
Thanks
Soundslike you are transferring at USB1.0 speeds. I believe the TF can transfer at USB3.0 speeds. As an example, I copied 3 full length movies around 800Mbytes each in less than 15minutes. Try a different port or computer
Exactly!! thats why wondering! While I can copy stuffs to micro SD card pretty fast...whenever iam trying to copy something to internal storage its soooooooooo slow!! What am I doing wrong? Is it may be a rom problem? :S

It's likely, like the other post said, that you're plugged in to a USB1.0 port. Connect to a different USB port; a faster USB port. USB 2.0 or 3.0

I just did some transfers today, 1.34 gb one file took about 5 mins or so but I had some files that went slow mo so I disconnected the usb cable then plugged it back it and got the higher speed again.
The stupid Asus sync on the tablet was always on the taskbar.
BTW does any know how u transfers files directly to the microSD with the USB cable, I had to copy to tablet then move it over to Sd card?

I did change my ports...but no help...Nd for your question...inside the internal storage you will see there is a folder called Micro SD.....Agh this slow speed is really frustrating!! lol
I hate to say it, but try a different computer and see if the speed stays as slow. A newer computer? Just confirm it isn't your hardware!
Yup will try that tomm... lets see.. :S Dont want to return it....

You could try getting an SDCard reader for your PC. There are USB adapaters that take microSDs. Then you can copy direct to the microSD without going through the USB cable at all

Mate the the thing is that when I copy something to Micro SD its pretty good and fast but when ever its the internal storage..It takes agess!! :S
Well I had SE w960i.. it transferred 1GB in less than 3 minutes through USB. But it had a internal memory.. So the speed difference?
By the way... How do I access TF's internal storage by USB cable? It doesn't shows as connected removable device at all. Can connect with asus sync though, and I've installed some drivers for it also, but somehow I can't copy files directly to TF... Maybe I'm missing some drivers anyway.
Hey there folks,
I'm experiencing the same problem actually - horrendously slow transfer rates to the internal memory of the device.
I've tried both my Laptop and my Desktop, each with USB 2.0 ports, but each connection gives me the lovely Window error message "This device can perform faster if you connect it to a USB 2.0 Host..." etc., etc. Anyone have a similar issue? Could this be a driver issue on both machines? Am I just doing something incredibly wrong?
I'm running KRAKD 1.5.2, and would really like to transfer my music over to this thing in less than 3 hours =( Any help is greatly appreciated!
I've recently been having problems with transferring data over usb. I've been trying to load about 21gb of Tvshows and movies to the internal SD on my transformer by means of dragging files into the android transfer utility for mac. Usually the transfer would be going at about 10MB/s and would take 30 minutes. Now its going at about 1mb every 5-6 seconds with 20 hours to complete. I've tried changing the read-ahead cache and formatting and reflashing with NVflash with no help. I haven't tired using a new cable since I'm 100% broke. I've owned the transformer since august and have always been using my macbook to transfer stuff to it.
I'm running the latest prime with Roach's kernel BTW
This happens with both Revolver rom and prime.
Please no bull**** answers like "get a PC" or "That's what you get for being a mac user". I already 2 pc's and only use my mac for media storage.
Thanks for the help,
-Phillip

Whenever i plug my nexus with my laptop to transfer files i get speed which is as low as 300-400 kbps!!!
Please help me, is it a virus problem or rom?? Because i have checked with so many systems, bt on each pc speed is slow..
How can i fix it??
If you're transferring large files, forum members suggest doing it via recovery as it's much quicker. I personally have not tried it though. I use AirDroid to do most of my average size file transfers. Mainly because I don't like wires
I believe it's a ics problem and there's no fix yet. So like the other guy suggested use recovery to transfer files. It is much more faster. If you don't know how to transfer files through recovery, all you need to do is...
Turn off the phone
Plug the phone to computer
Go to recovery
Mount and storage
Click the option at the bottom(I forgot to name of it)
Transfer your files

It is a problem with ICS, namely the 3.0 kernel the linux system is based on. Someone's reported it to Google already, but all they've done was mark it as medium severity, and leave it at that. Maybe they'd wake up if a mass of reports poured into their bugtracker, but it's a long shot...
Thank you guyz.... u saved me frm erasing mah usb storage
Any ideas how i can connect my note 10.1 to mac. Its not recognising mtp even with android transfer file. Kies picks it up and so does windows. Can Connect via bluetooth but not wifi
Update: i dont think you can connect via usb. Im now using FTP wireless transfer to do it. Please correct me if im wrong
Connect to mac
Same here . This is Horse crap . Kies does not work on Mountain lion , there is no option to switch usb mode , and mac file transfer does not see it does anybody has solution ??????

Thanks for this but tablet doesn't have this feature
I'm having the same problem on lion :/
Try Airdroid. Install the app. It supposedly transfers files extremely quick via wireless, but it's not actually wireless. I connects to your wirleess connection in your house or office (Wherever you are) and you can transfer things back and forth. Extremely quick, faster than normal wirless bwecause you're actually using the speeds from you connection of computer to router. I haven't done it yet but I hear it's better than using kies even if you are on Snow Leopard like me. Getting my 32 Grey Note tomorrow from Amazon. I was hoping Android file transfer would work like it does on my Galaxy Nexus, but sounds like it's a no go from what I'm hearing on here. Give Airdroid a try and let me know how it works.

Airdroid is working very well for me. Just transfered 10 gigs of text books easily and quickly. Looks like Airdroid has a ton of other features too.
Thank you for the suggestion!!

Howzit, thanks for the tip cc1995, I tried to hit thanks, but it wasn't working. Great program, lots of potential, but the only drawback was that I couldn't access my external SD card on it.
Thanks anyways.:good:
I have very slow transfer speed when copying files from my nas through SMB. When I use Ghost Commander I get 75KByte/s and when I use ES File Explorer I get 160 KByte/s. My wife gets 1.5 mega bytes per second using Ghost Comander on an Empire M1009 tablet. This is what I checked: I am connected to my router on 65Mbps and when using speedtest I get 7.3 Mb(its)ps on my wifi. Also I'm using stock rom.
I searched the forum and found some related posts, but unfortunatly without a solution I could use.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction because the slow transfer speed drives me nuts.

The speed issue is not with the WiFi but the slow memory installed in the tablet.

So you are saying the TF700 can't write more than 160 kB/s to its memory?
Do you have *any* evidence for this?

I know about the slow memory, but when downloading files from the inet directly I get 1,5MByte/s. Also copying from and to sd card is a lot faster than 160KByte/s. It must be something else. Maybe the way TF700 handles the SMB protocol.

I did some aditional testing (I really should have thought of this earlier). I turned FTP on on my NAS and used ES File Explorer using the FTP tab and got >1.5 MByte/s transfer rate. Which isn't great either but a mayor improvment on the 160KB. So it must be the SMB protocol handled on my TAB.

Yesterday I updated my NAS firmware and now on SMB in ES File Explorer I get the same speed as in FTP (1.5-2 MBytes/s). Which is a huge improvement. So I guess the combination of the NAS firmware and the TF700 SMB handling was the problem.
One question remains. Is1.5-2 MBytes/s this the highest transfer speed I can expect when downloading a file due to the slow memory I/O?
SMB android
I'm getting same problems
slow transfert from my synology to my TF700 (and 701 too) using ES file explorer and SMB protocol
Same thing on a windows computer and my transfert is x5 : so it's not the synology, not the wifi...
and quick transfert with FTP protocol : so it's not the memory or the SD card too...
my guess is that SMB library are not very efficient... or bad setup?
Fiddled arround with this slow SMB some more and I found that when streaming video from my NAS it is very slow and basically unworkable. But when I restart my device it is fast enough (like 17Mb/s or more). The downside is that when I try to stream again after say 6 or 7 hours it is slow again and I have to restart my device again.
Do you guys maybe know a way to restart the SMB stuff on my device without restarting my whole device?
Help is much apreciated.
Turn off WiFi optimization in advanced WiFi settings. Also may help to set it to disconnect whilst sleeping in there too.
Tried what sbdags said but unfortunately it doesn't help. It is related to SMB protocol only. When I use youtube for instance to watch a clip transfer speed is fine.
The solution provided by Sbdags triggered me to try turning Wifi off en on again and what do you know SMB is fast again. So whenever it gets slow again I don't need to reboot anymore. I should have thought of this earlier.
Ran into this late in the thread.....

My WiFi performance to internal storage is 2-3 MB/s, I have a USB gigabit ethernet adaptor plugged into the KBD/dock USB host and get 7-8 MB/s.
This shows that the slow speeds are a WiFi issue and not a SMB issue. Considering that 7-8 MB/s is close to the max write speed of the crappy internal storage, this is pretty good for SMB performance and the TF700 over a wired net.
Not sure if the poor WiFi performance is an Android issue or a tf700t hardware issue.

I have never seen more than 2-3MB write speeds over my network from any android device. My wired pc gets 5.5MBs.

Yea, I see the same WiFi performance (or lack of) with my Note 3 and Nex 7 Grouper. I haven't played with the USB wired NIC (OTG) ....yet. I suspect the same or similiar results...if it works at all. Soooo it is either Androids implementation of WiFi | SMB.
