Slow data transfer speed over usb connection - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] USB file transfer speed!

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
EDIT: For example: http://www.staples.com/SanDisk-Mobi...gy:Accessories_&_Memory:814084:SDDRK-121-A11M

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!

[Q] Slow transfer rate

Hi. I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0. Basically as soon as I got the device I went and rooted, installed cm9, but I noticed the slow file transfer speed.
Now I'm trying a stock de odexed stock rom, but this one only has mtp and ptp mode for files transfer, and I'm not happy with it not having a settings button to access more option within settings (that 3 dot in a line button which cm9 has).
I am extremely annoyed with this tablet, because transfering big files like movies would take forever.
Does the stock stock rom have usb mass storage mode?
which rom or how do I set this up so that I can transfer files to the full speed?
my only alternative right now is to unmount microsd card and plugging it into a card reader to get full speed.
your help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Nope, UMS is no longer supported starting with ICS. MTP with the USB cable is one option, sneaker-net (using sdcard like you describe above) is another, and if you have root you can scp files to an android SSH server like Drop Bear SSH. Yes, none are ideal transfer speeds

Extremely slow transfers from PC over USB & Incorrect folder views

Hey all, googling hasn't yielded me many results but I have a couple of issues:
Connect tablet from dock to PC over USB. Doesn't come up as MTP which has to be safely removed but just as a sync device if you know what I mean. Anyhoo takes ages to transfer files from PC to Internal memory of the tablet. Talking like 10 minutes for 300mb.
Second issue is it shows folders which are under other folders under the root of Transfomer 700 on PC
eg I have folders like Music/Pearl Jam/Ten
When I connect to PC it shows the Ten folder under the root folder not under Music/Ten
Weird.. on current firmware. Rooted and have USB debugging turned off when connected to PC as I find having it enabled doesn't show the device at all.
In settings/Storage have option USB computer connection set to MTP mode
Thanks

I believe what you are encountering is the infamous I/O issue. Most likely hardware limitation of the internal storage used in infinity. This may potentially improve some degree with software update, but won't be completely eliminated.
As I have not transferred file to internal storage for a long time (I like to keep internal storage clean) so this is more of a subjective opinion, but I feel like transferring to microsd on the unit (I use San Disk UHS 32GB) is actually equivalent or faster than the transferring to my iPad 2. So have you tried to copy to microSD instead of internal storage?

Same here, using a Windows PC. It's actually even so that some folders simply do not show up at all - whether they were there already or newly created. Dis- and reconnecting the cable changes nothing. Permissions are ok/equal to the folders showing. And: some folders and/or their contents I can't even copy at all, the progress window simply disappears and nothing happens. I have not found a solution yet.
Having been fed up by the fact that I simply couldn't copy the contents of my internal SD storage for backup I connected to Wifi and copied the contents that way. THAT worked amazingly fast. Yet, that of course only works if you can connect the tab via Wifi to whatever target you want to send the files to... I did so via my router. I didn't even bother to try if I could do a direct Wifi connection between the tab and my Laptop - which in theory should work too, I guess?
Can't say I've tried copying direct from PC to Tablet but I've copied a number of movies using USB and they've been pretty quick - I didn't time it or pay much attention but a couple of minutes for 1GB movie sounds about right. Hope this helps you!

Best method for file transfer with PC

I've been using Z3 till now, there was an option for USB Mass Storage mode, which simply emulated sd card as pen drive. I could simply transfer any file I wanted with the highest speed possible!
This option is gone in XZ Premium, and the way I see it the only method available now is MTP (which sucks massively, words can't describe how bad this protocol is)
So my question is, what can I do to transfer any file I want at top speed to my phone? This is 2017, I've bought high speed SD card, I can't believe I'm stuck with MTP that goes around 5MB/s... There has to be a way for legit file transfer...
I use a app called superbeam, it uses wifi.
Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
I wouldn't call wifi a solution to that, I'm going to use a high speed sd card too to transfer 4k movies and stuff back and forth so I'd like to know this myself too.
Looks like Sony is providing USB 2.0 cable with Sony XZ Premium (UCB20 is USB 2.0), this is one of the reasons of low transfer speeds.
Sucks for me as well
Anybody found a better solution?
If you have Root, you can get a app from the play store that enables Mass Storage
How is this called?
Would be the solution as soon as root exploit is found
If you have fast internet just FTP? Or just use an SD card reader? But the latter will kill your flaps water resistance after time so wouldn't bother ?
Mass storage mode transfer is a thing of the past for good reason. Your phone, under such a mode, would present its internal storage to the computer to mount up and use as if it were a thumb drive. Trouble is, very few file systems support concurrent read/write mounting by multiple computers, and you won't find any of those that do on a phone. So, when in mass storage mode, the computer must be given exclusive access to the storage, meaning the phone cannot access it. Obviously, this wouldn't work if the phone had to give up exclusive access to important system files, so this lead to the two partition system whereby important stuff was on an OS partition unavailable as mass storage and user data was on an 'sdcard' partition. That partition sizing was set at the factory and couldn't be changed without root and often kernel work, and it usually wasted a ton of space on the OS partition because OEMs are necessarily conservative there. Also, it restricted what file systems OEMs could use for the sdcard partition as your computer is unlikely to understand file systems like ext3/4. So the sdcard partition was quite often fat32, which has a few downsides. Firstly, Microsoft do hold patents there that they enforce, so licensing is needed. Secondly, it is an archaic and crappy file system with limitations like no single file larger than about 4GB. Not a great plan in 2017 - I don't think I even have any movies that small on disk anymore.
All that said, I don't see the problem with MTP. If it's slow for you, it's likely because you're using the supplied cable, which is USB version 2, so slow. I slung about 15 GB or so of film onto my phone yesterday through a USB 3.1 cable in under a minute. It's definitely the fastest USB transfer to a phone I've ever experienced.

I have now tested a lot of different solutions for file transfers.
None of the ones emulating a network card and making SMB share worked.
Finally I landed on some FTP server apps.
Now I use "WiFi Pro FTP Server" as this one had best performance out of the ones I tested.
With performance I mean time until directory content (~3.000 jpeg files) is displayed by FTP client. This one takes about half a minute where crap MTP via USB took more than 5 minutes (with new, high quality USB 3.0 cable!).
I have notebook and phone in different WiFi bands to increase performance. Transfer speed is about 4-10MB/s so really good and far beyond MTP.
Of course, I am still missing good old mass storage mode

transfer 250gb

Good morning.
How to transfer all my pictures and videos from OP7 Pro to external HDD or at least into PC in reasonable time...? Via cable is going veeeeery long same as WiFi way.... Any advices or previous experiences?
Cable is giving me error after few hours..
Kind regards
Artur
WIFI or USB, choose one of them. USB 3 is actually pretty fast
USB C would be much faster than WiFi, get a better cable and/or interface for it.
I'm not sure if it suits you or not to compress the files on phone before transferring it, it makes the read from phone storage and write to HDD process a lot faster and by the way it keeps files chronically ordered when extracted.
I always use this trick for backing up my phone data but it's not perfect when transferring from HDD to phone storage because it's limited to 4 gb for a file, so I make a split 4 gb RAR files then transfer them to phone storage and use RAR apk to extract them.
The problem is ... that I have oryginall OP7Pro Cable which came with phone... I also have updated drivers + drivers for OP phone and this combination doesnt benefits me... Im Running our of empty space thats why im forced to ask for some live hacks
Use a usb c 3.1 cable if your pc has type c port, it's a lot faster than the stock 2.0 cable transfers,like 5-10 times faster

Nop,it just has a type c port but it is 2.0,I don't know which cable you got but I got only 2.0,it has only 4 lanes,2 for data transfer.
you surprised me right now... I thought that all usb C are 3.0 as this is standard for them... Yes my PC has usb 3.0. And I tried today one more time and it copied 190gb out of 250gb and there was no error on the screen...

You could backup your photos and videos to Google photos then free up the space in your phone
Transfer using usb 3 port
I would have cut and paste. That way when it fails, only the non copied files are left and you can begin it again without starting over.
I never had a reliable connection with direct cable Copy and paste. I usually go with FTP(filezilla + Solid explorer FTP) for stable copying of files. Speed is also very good.
KEep in mind to keep the screen on for 30 min.. sometimes the connections breaks if the screen goes off..
Use Oneplus switch to create a backup, this will put everything into one folder, the compress the folder into a single zip file. This will at least fix the issue error mid transfer.
Just upload it some where much better. Then download when pc....
