Slow Transfer Speed (USB)

Hi,
using MIUI rom right now, and I noticed that copying data from PC to phone is slow as hell (200KiB/s). It was OK while using the stock HTC rom. However when I go to the recovery and mount sdcard, transfer speed is relatively good (4MiB/s-10MiB/s). Does anybody know if it is a ROM related problem, because nobody from MIUI has posted similar issue.
Thanks for any tip or advice.
What is the sd card cache size on miui? Stock htc rom it was limited to a poxy 128k! I use this app to bump it to 2048k.....

Most custom roms have had this tweak as standard for a while, and I've not heard of any issues with cooked SD cards. My class 6 SD card can be written to at 6MB/sec, so I shouldn't expect a cache of 2MB to push it too far. I've had the same 16GB card for 2 years on custom roms with this fix. No problems here.
I'd say make sure you don't have the cache any larger than your SD card class. For example, if you have a generic class 2 card, I'd perhaps only raise the cache to 1024k. That's still 8 times better than stock!
Use an app called "SD Tools" on the marketplace to run a 'before' and 'after' speed test.

No, it doesn't help. It's still the same.
I'm afraid that I can't remember where I've read this, but I believe that I've previously read somewhere in the forum that this is kernel related.
So possibly try stock kernel and try again.

Has any got Taiko no Tatsujin to work?

Hey so how do I get the data in the rar file to work with the game. Do I put the data on root or on SD card. If any one can get it to work plz tell me. Thanks

[q] [memory card]

Is it Okay to use another memory card when installing a custom rom? My original memory card has a lot of files. So, is it okay? Does that won't affect the ROM? Waiting for your replies
You can use any memory card. There is no connection between your files and Rom

True.
@OP: And please use normal font size and colour next time. It looks funny!

[Q] Swapping Blaze 4G's Internal/External Mounting Points

I own a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, its running CM10 and i did not like the storage problems so i decided to swap the mounting points by editing the "vold.fstab" file, i swapped the internal and external perfectly without any issues or slowdown. But now CM10.2 is out and i would like to upgrade but i cannot find the "vold.fstab file, i read that this version no longer uses it, so i searched all over this site and google but have not found any answers, so here i am asking for help to swap the internal and external mounting points on CM10.2 and if anybody can help me that would be great and i do not like directory bind, or symlinks, Thank You in advance

Sorry this isn't relevant to your question, but I was just curious what did you edit in the file to swap the mounts. I would like to use my removable SD card as the phones main storage?

you can find the info to modify the "vold.fstab" file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33253737
I found the vold.fstab file in the stock ics rom. i was guessing it would be the same as the cm roms. its not. so far i can think of switching the code under #internal sdcard with the code from #external sdcard. has anyone ever tried this?

Sd card problem

I notice I can't delete anything or copy anything to the sd card. Any one else notice this problem.

Have you tried using a 3rd party file manager like ES File manager?
same problem, using solid explorer and it just gives me error but no explanation why, really annoyed
Yes says it deleted successfully but files still there
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
That has to do with kitkat and security issues with sd card's. Root should solve that.

Same here. If I try to copy anything from my Download folder to the SD I get an error. As someone else noted, I believe this is related to KitKat.
I haven't had an issue. using 64 gb sdcard. I have deleted photos and etc but not through an explorer

well i've had numerous htc phones on verizon and sprint and I have never had one that wasn't unlocked eventually.
I can manage files on the SD card with a computer and MTP, but not through ES File Explorer.

Is your SD card new or from another device? This has happened in 3 recent devices. My note 2, G Pad 8.3 GPE and M8. By the time I got to the M8, it was more to confirm the issue than anything as I'd already ordered my 64gb Samsung pro $45. So, if I use an SD card that was previously used in another device, the problem your having, always occurs. I put it in the OG device I used it in, no problems. I've tried formatting the SD in a computer and the devices, but still no go. Only putting a new one in works.. well, I'm sure there has to be a fix. I've just never really researched it. I don't know what causes this but I can't imagine this not being fixable. Have you had any results from a Google search?

Hmmm.. what class and brand is your SD card?

Okay, I can't delete either..now. or maybe ever. I don't know if I my pictures on there and assumed I was good but definitely can't delete using a file manager. I can delete pictures from the gallery but not file manager. I have a SanDisk 64gb I'm gonna try. Maybe it's brand and HTC doesn't like Samsung.

I have SanDisk 64GB, so that's not the issue. The problem is Google's security changes to SD permissions. You can delete from within apps because they were coded to elevate the required permissions. Once we have root, we'll be able to access the SD card through /mnt/sdcard2 and write/delete to our heart's content.

The fix... once you guys have root.. will be the same as it is on other HTC phones getting kitkat
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.
