I've searched the forums and all I've found so far is sdcard issues with the evo.. so I apologize ahead of time if there's a thread for this...
I recently received a brand new sdcard.. 16gb class 4 sandisk.. I have formatted the card on both pc and phone(just to be sure everything is clear).. now when I transfer files from my pc to the phone, I only get between 1-3 mb/s.. I've recently reformatted/partitioned my pc, so it's on a clean install.. I've also recently wiped the phone and flashed a new rom.. but it doesn't really matter what rom I use, I still get those slow speeds.. I was at a friends yesterday and transferred files using their laptop and I was getting between 15-17 mb/s transfer speeds.. any ideas as to why I don't get the same on my pc? Thanks to all that may respond!
I used to get slow copy speeds with my Win 7 64bit PC, I don't remember the actual figures. I now use some copy software which seems to have improved speeds. I think it's called Ultracopy.

Gotcha... well, I'm on win 7 32bit and my friends laptop has windows vista 32bit...so I'm still kind of guessing as to why transfer speeds were much higher on their laptop than they are on my pc.. and I didn't do anything differently when using their laptop as I would my pc..
I think it's a Win 7 issue by the sounds of it, google for Windows 7 slow copy speeds and see what turns up.
BTW, there are SD speed test apps in the Market, give one a try to test your cards speed when in your phone.

Will do... Thanks UK
Maybe it's a driver issue?? Who knows at this point.. I just know that 1.2mb/s transfer speeds really suck
Just checked which software I use, it's actually TeraCopy (free version) .

sometimes its something stupid when it comes to it, it could be not USB 2.0/3.0, could be USB data cable, and can be simply win 7 not caching the sdcard to make it read faster
I had random issue with my phone, if i use my toshiba to transfer i notice its slower than my 4 year old acer with crappy specs
but when i switch my data cable, then i see it fly on transfers

Try use a micro sdcard reader, if the problem still exist, it is either your PC or the card.
if the problem is fixed, it is either your phone or cable

PTP allows you to connect your phone to the PC or Mac without unmounting the storage from the phone and mounting it to the PC. That way you can exchange files between your PC and storage device while still listening to music or looking at pictures on your phone. USB Mass Storage forces the phone to unmount the storage from the phone (stopping all music and photos as well as all the other files on your Internal Storage or SD Card) and mounting it directly to the PC.

I don't think it's an "issue", per say.
yeah, that doesnt really help. but if there is a better explanation or a fix would be better.
Well, did you have a rom where it wasn't like that?
I'd suggest flashing that.
I may have misunderstood your problem, but I think I know what you're talking about now. Since Eaglesblood is based on CM7 source, I'd say yes, it does have the same problem.
I usually just mounted the SD card in recovery. Can't say I've seen a fix.
I'm on eaglesblood 2.5 and I can get both emmc and external sdcard to mount just fine, make sure your USB driver is properly installed.
Never had that problem either on cm7, only stock roms...

yeah i had cm7 on my mytouch 4g and it worked fine. i was really surprised that it didnt work with this phone. its odd. i did install the latest version of eaglesblood and my computer does see both the internal and external micro sd. so ill stick with eaglesblood for a few and see how i like it. on the up side, my gps locks on almost instantly with this rom
one more question i guess. does the lg camera work with eaglesblood?
As far as I know it only works for OTA gb roms, so no it won't.

Hi,
I notice you are on ICS.
Is it possible that when you moved the data from one card to the other,there was some old GB files still on it?
Best course of action is to save all your valuables (pictures,music,video,backups,etc.)onto your pc.
Then,format the card on your pc to FAT32.
Then, replace only your valuables,and stick the card back in your phone.Android will replace all the files it needs,so you do not need to worry about that.

I have a Lexar Class 6 16GB card, I thought I'd run AnTuTu and let you know what this is running at: Write 7.1 MB/s Read 19.2 MB/s. So roughly the same figures.
I've not seen your problem before. Try backing up the SDcard to your PC then a clean full (not quick) format then copy everything back.
Well , sometime increasing the sdcard cache using sd speed boost app may help.
But my first suggestion : clean your sdcard and format it (full format , not quick one).
I agree with the previous posts. Try a reformat and restore only your media/necessary files manually.
The phone can handle a 32GB card without a problem. I'm using a 32gb Sandisk c4 and I have no problems with lag even at that speed (writes at about 5 mb/s.
Father had the sane issue only he had a partition of his memory stick formatted to work with Apps2SD; a necessity on the HTC Desire.
It sounds like there is possibly something corrupted on your card, or you've messed around with the partitions. When your phone attempts to read something of the card that is corrupt, it will do it numerous tines until it'll skip the specific file it is trying to read. What you may or may not notice is that every time you have an SD Card issue, it's because your trying to do the same thing or access something that is corrupt.
As a result your phone panics and cries
Format it and your troubles should be over, I recommend using your phone to Format it, that way it'll get rid of any problems and immediately install required android files.
Adios!

You can also try SD-Booster to speed up your SD Card and SD Tools to tjeck the speed befor and after.
Anyone able to hint at whether or not we could finally get a proper fix for the incredibly slow USB transfer rates with ICS on the Nexus S when Jelly Bean arrives in the next few weeks (hopefully)?
I know the general advice is "Just reboot into CWM and do the transfers there..." but honestly that gets a bit frustrating. I bought Wifi File Transfer Pro during a sale for $.99 and it's functional but, even that's somewhat slow to me (average 3-6MB/s). I have no idea what Flash-RAM is inside this device, I'm guessing since the Nexus S is made by Samsung (even though it's 18+ months old now) and they'd more than likely use their own high grade Flash-RAM it should be more than capable of writing at close to that speed as well.
Under CWM's storage mode the transfers are in the 10-15MB range so that's good, but...
Has anyone ever actually discovered why the USB transfers are so horridly slow on ICS on the Nexus S, or is it a situation where most people just shrug their shoulders and say "That's how it goes..." and that's that?
Just curious... love the device, it's my new main one as I recently dumped my HD2 to pay some bills. If it's specifically related to a busted kernel (3.x) then there's nothing that can be done about it I suppose, unless someone at Google has some clue as to what's going on.
Sure would be nice to plug in and get the speed this device is capable of instead of plugging in, rebooting to recovery, going into CWM storage mode, doing a transfer, then rebooting back out into ICS again.
I know it's been asked before but there's never been an actual answer to why it's happening, let alone a potential fix for it.
If it IS an issue with the 3.x kernel(s), doesn't that imply that Jelly Bean won't do much to address it and we'll still be stuck in the slow lane?
Thanks...
EDIT:
Found this JB port from steven776 from the SDK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28113909&postcount=258
Installed it and it's running fine but but but... nothing changed as far as the USB transfer rates are concerned. I know it's not the "official" build of JB coming for the Nexus S but, even so, this doesn't bode well for a fix for this issue once and for all.
Well, the slow transfer speed bothers me a lot too, but I never thought of transferring the file using CWM, so thanks for the tip :good:
I cant offer any magic solutions or explanation for why its slow but maybe you could clear up a couple of things:
1) are you using a USB 2.0 cable or is it possible that it is only a 1.0?
2) the devices you are connecting your phone too (i.e PC, laptop) are they USB 2.0 capable?
3) check to see if your operating system's power management settings and make sure that there isn't anything slowing it down there
If you feel any better these are the speeds that I get, no matter what ROM im using (steve's JB port included) and I too have been underwhelmed by it.

Well for me I'm connected to a USB 2.0 port, I have no issues regarding from power management as that should have no affect.
But writing anything to the phone its very slow like anywhere from 300kbs to 1MB/s. But copying/writing from the phone to PC is always going to be faster I'm getting on avg. 14 to 18MB/s.

That's also bother me a long time and can't find any solution yet.
Nexus S JB is still slow
Hi, I have just updated to the official Jelly Bean update and can confirm that the USB problem is still present. I think I had read somewhere that the problem is in the kernel?
Any fix for this yet? Still annoying to go into cwm to transfer big files.. Thanks.
Go to clockworkmod and use then mount USB storage, you will get about 4mb/s

I believe this has to do with the transfer protocol used and your Kernel. Which kernel are you using, are you stock, rooted, or romed, and have you played with the MTP/FTP settings?
MTP Works fine
Hi,
Using Marmite Kernel 7.1.4CM on CM10 and JellyShot 0.1 I noticed that MTP Transfer is actually a lot faster than USB Transfer.
I had the same issue with slow transfer on ics and jb. with MTP its gone.
Yesterday I tried to copy a couple different ROMs onto the device using USB. The transfer speed was ultra slow (crawling at like 1 kB per sec). In the past I was able to copy movies over quickly, etc. Not sure what changed, same ROM. Tried rebooting both the OX and the PC, but the issue persists. Has anyone ever seen this?

Yep! This happened with my old Captivate, and it usually involves replacing your USB cable. Have you tried a different one?
Plus, you could always use a MicroSD Card to transfer files.
Thansk mitchchaiet, I will give a different cable a try - did not think of that, hopefully that simple trick solves it.
MicroSD card... not sure what you mean, as the OX does not have an SD card slot...
so i noticed today while trying to put hyperdrives newest on my phone to load later, it takes absolutely forever to actually transfer
im talking like almost an hour to download and about the same to transfer from my computer to the phone. plenty of room and ive restarted phone and computer and same thing happens.
anyone else run into this and have a fix???
Has nothing to do with the ROM or file and everything to do with your PC and what software you are using to transfer with. Since you didn;t describe that. no way of knowing what's wrong.
windows 7 dell optiplex 790
new verizon transfer cord
what else is needed
How big is the file? Is it much bigger than previous files? If it took a long time to d/n and the file is much bigger, there's your answer. If it's not then your internet connection could be the issue for downloading. Also if it's a huge file it will take some time to transfer. Do you know if your computer has USB 2.0 or 3.0/ss?
