Hi guys,
I have a Note 10.1 N8010 with Omega v2.1 rom.
I'm using ES File Explorer to manage my files, and I have noticed something very wired. When I'm copying a file from my NAS drive to my tablet, the transfer speed is about 400kb/s (which is very slow!!!). I have a SGS2 with ES File Explorer, and the transfer speed is 2.5MB/s.
How can it be? I have also tried it with Astro and the results are the same. I haven't tested it on another rom yet, but before I do that, I would like to know if someone else have/had this problem?
I look forward to her from you guys.

I have the same problem, with my N8010 and SGS2, both using ES as you are. Except my problem with the Note is far worse, typically 20-30kB/s is the transfer speed, when the SGS2 just flies. I can often get the speed to pick back up by disabling and re-enabling the WiFi, and this will work for a while, but it doesn't take long for the speeds to suck again.
I've tried different channels on the router and changing the 802.11 a,c etc, but everything I do results in a temporary speed boost, nothing makes it work properly permanently.
Interesting! Are you using the same Omega ROM?
Mine N8000 series (3G version).
The file transfer is between 1MB - 5MB depending on the size/amount of files transferred.

When I stop and start the WiFi, everything seems to work fine. But I'm not sure yet if it's a ROM issue.
try another File manager.
I'm using Samba Filesharing (not a File Manager)
May be compatibility issue.

I must say, it's a really nice App. When I copy from my computer (Win8) to my N8010 the speed is around 1.8MB/s which I can live with.
Thanks for the help

Nope, completely stock (unrooted and rooted, no difference).
I'll try a different manager and see what happens.
UPDATE: No change. Pathetic speed, unless I dis- and en-able WiFi, then it's fast again (using X-plore this time). It's OS or hardware, I think, not an app problem.
I must agree with you NFGman. I believe the speed can be better.
It must be a driver related somehow, maybe a different Kernel will do the trick (If there is one!?)! I'll try to look for another Kernel and test it again, and I suggest you do the same.

any help? I am trying to access files on a windows 7 lappy via es file explorer...it keeps on giving me a no permissions error....I've enabled sharing, all access permissions on the win7 machine and have no problem accessing via ps3/other laptops.
Thanks!
using vegan 5.1, cleymsons CIFS enabled kernel
I can access Win7 shares fine using ES File explorer, on stock TNT. I wonder if the CIFS support in your kernel might somehow be interfering?
Jim
Just switched kernel....same thing. So you jst used es and were able to open files over network no problem with no extra config on gtab or win 7?

Yes, that's correct. Both on earlier stock TNT and 3452 now. Since you can access from other machines, that eliminates stuff like firewalls, so I'm puzzled now, especially the permission error.
A couple of things:
- try set the share up for Everyone access and the ES file explorer for anonymous. I had to do that to get to XP shares.
- try using IP address instead of hostname
- your Gtab and Win7 are on same subnet?
Jim
Jim, great advice...set up for everyone and i've got it, no problems! Now to figure out how to stream mkvs
thanks for the help!

You're welcome .
For streaming, you'll need to use CIFS manager (from market) w your CIFS enabled kernel, I think.

Is it possible to stream mkv's as long as your on that kernel?
I am still using stock, so I haven't tried it myself, but I think that you need CIF Manager app from market. When you run that it requires a kernel w CIF support (which I think you already have).

streaming and screen gilch issues
Jim, this is not a stock issue in my gtablet so plz forgive me from the get-go. I have 2 issues with my gtablet that is driving me nutts. First off, I maybe watching a podcast and out of the blue 2 thing may happen. 1. ask me to clear cache and doing so I will have to exit or cancel, why? Or, I maybe viewing poscast and not move an inch and it drops to home ie., desktop. Second, as watching said poscasts it may stall, come back with broken pixels and the sound looks faster that the Reporter's lips or be totally fine . This is not only with Rachel.msnbc also happens on CNN. Any ideas??

Hi,
Are you "streaming" those podcasts from a website (e.g., CNN)? If so, that's a differerent kind of "streaming" than is being discussed in this thread, i.e., that'd be using Flash.
I *think* that what we're talking about here, in this thread, is:
- Having a file, e.g., an MKV file on a PC, and then
- Sharing the drive on a network (i.e., a Windows/SMB share),
- Then, having some kind of player app on the Gtab, being able to "play" that file from the shared drive, over the network, without having to physically copy the file to the Gtab first.
Maybe someone here can correct me if I'm confused?
So, DRSReaper, if the "Flash" streaming from a website is what you're asking about, then probably be best to start a new thread/subject on those problems.
Jim
Lol jim you are abs correct...that was a hijack for the ages
Hey just curious if anyone else does this but me.
Well a few days back I was too lazy to walk to my bedroom and get my USB cable off the charger. So I paired the phone w/ the BT on my PC and started pushing .zips. So now whenever I DL a new Kernel/Modem/Theme etc... I just use BT to push it to the phone and then just installing everything through CWM right out of the BT folder on the phone.
I know this is no technilogical discovery or anything, just seeing if anyone else is doing this
I use it once in a while as well, when my USB cable is far away. However i only do that with small updates (kernels), as I find BT too slow for anything else. For a few MBs it is faster then going to find my cable.
Yea, the bluetooth transfer is really convenient and I do use it for random files I want to grab off my cpu, but in your case with downloading CWM flashable files, why not just go to the website and download directly to your phone and eliminate the extra steps of pairing and transferring? Is it a download speed problem? No wifi?
I ask only because I used to use the bluetooth to transfer files, but the bigger the file, the longer the transfer time, and with my chronic case of A.D.D., I'd be waiting for it to finish transferring to my phone, then play angry birds to pass the time, then go out to smoke, and with my amazing luck and skill I'd take one step outside of my bluetooth range, interrupt the transfer process at like 96% and kick myself in the ass lol.
I just find it easier to enable wifi, navigate to the download page and get the files I need, downloaded straight to my phone so all I'd have to do is get into CWM and flash it, or open Androzip and extract the files that I need.

I have actually tried that, but for some reason when I go to these DL pages and try to start them it tells me "File Not Supported by this device" or something along those lines.
There must be a work around for this, just not sure how. And in the true fashion of laziness, I haven't really bothered to look for it
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

The fashion of laziness lol. Nicely put.
Are you browsing the forum with the xda app or an internet browser? I ask because I believe I had a problem downloading certain files from the xda app and also had a problem trying to upload files and pics. And everytime I used the browser, whether it was opera, dolphin, stock browser, or xscope, I had no problem downloading whatsoever.
Well Just tried to do it through my stock browser on the phone to DL FB2 Kernel and Perception 10.2 just for ****s and gigs...
Still getting the same msg. Maybe it's my ROM? Running FF 1.5 (Today) w/ FB 2.03 Kernel and Themed w/ Generation X by Team Phoenix. Maybe it's my ROM?
Yea, can never rule out that it could be the rom, or you just had a bad flash... Meaning that everything appears to be running like it should, but once you start digging into the phone and start trying features that you normally don't use on a daily basis, that's where there's a bug.
So you can try and figure out if it's a file problem from the website, which I highly doubt, or you can bite the bullet, flash to stock, master clear, flash your rom of choice again and pray for the best.
Or, before you do all that funky jazz, get the dolphin browser from the market and install, navigate and try to downlaod.
Just for ****s and giggles.
Never tried bluetooth but I use the app called SwiFTP that is free from the market. Basically you can FTP to your phone from your computer over wifi.
Connected the Xoom 2, to a windows 7 machine.
Insists on letting installing 'Motocast' which I let it...what a complete pile of shi*.
I want to 'sync' a 700MB .avi video, over usb cable, to the device...estimated time? 30 minutes!!! I swear this complete toss of software is insisting to re-encode the entire file to some bullsh*t format of their choice. Is there an option to turn this off and transfer it natively?
Secondly, thankfully, it also installs native 'portable' device drivers, allowing Windows 7 file explorer to browse the device. Great, so I copy the same .avi file and paste it to the device...'Do you want to copy xyz.avi? Your device might not be able to play this file' I am prompted...'yes' I click. Just as it finishes copying (after about 4 minutes...much better) it bombs out, notifying me that because the device cannot play this file it is cancelling the transfer...wtf?!?!
The only interim solution i've found is renaming the extension '.avi' to something like '.proprietrysoftwarecansuckmyballs', copying it, then renaming it back to '.avi' once transfer has completed solves this.
So can anyone offer any 'clean' solutions to my file transfer woes? If theres no improvement, this device will be getting returned next week, which is a shame as the tablet is a great bit of kit, its just a shame the software blows.
Look for "Wi-Fi File Explorer" in the market.
This looks like it only transfers over wifi?
I need to transfer over usb cable.
Had this problem myself, looks like it doesn't come with the drivers. After a bit of searching, I found that the standard driver package works:
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...al_Drivers/MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.exe
Installed that, unplug the USB cable and put it back in - should work fine!

Hey thanks man, that worked a treat.
Just for clarification, does you still prompt you that the device may not support playback of the file, but then successfully transfer it (whereby it would previously error at the last second)?
No idea - haven't had that particular part of the issue myself - the main thing I had was the slowness...
I am a linux user ... i will only have the option to upload files via wifi network ?

I guess the same way will work to linux too . Xoom2 has only one partition on the disk ? that the reason not to be able to mount it as a normal usb ? If you root the device is the anyway to great a small 2 Gb for ex partition to use it for easy transfer ?
Off topic about xoom 2 ME . How good the screen and and the battery life are ?
Useless tablet ?
In fact it's worst!
As a Linux User I hoped being able to use MTP... But I tried mtpfs and mtp-tools on several distributions without any luck.
But what is worse is that FTP server applications won't work too! I tried SwiFTP, FTPServer, and some other: the servers are not reachable. It appears that not even a single ping can reach the tablet. I think Motorala have put some kind of firewall in it (maybe it has something to do with the netflix HD certification?).
For me this tablet is actually useless. If I can't find a way to transfer some files on it without using MotoCast today or tomorrow, I will bring it back to the supplier...

You probably hit it on the head about the Netflix certification. I would think about returning it, man.
a solution ?
Thanks to a French forum (frandroid, in the Xoom 2 topic... sorry I can't send links here), I tested a solution to the transfer problem: It is possible to use (on the computer) a server to share the files such as a samba server.
It works fine. But it's not as easy to browse, select, copy and paste file with explorers on the tablet than it is on computers (several windows, keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-c/v, and so on).
But it's now possible to exchange files with the Xoom 2ME without going through a cloud or using Windows/motoCast.

Sorry for answering so late.
The screen is quite good.
The battery life is terrible compared to my ipad2. Charging needs a lot of time and is very slow. I guess it's because of mini usb only.
Currently i'am using the device as a Kindle Fire replacement, because off the lightweight (KF is heavier and bulky). The books i usually read have more weight than the device itself.
I like it for that.
But i may not be a good adviser because my device is a prototype. It is not smooth and the speakers are terrible.
I think 8,2" is the perfect size for me. The weight is so much better than any other tablet i had.

Try using a terminal on the Xoom 2 and ping the computer you're trying to connect to, while pinging your Xoom 2 from that computer at the same time. It's like you have to force them to see each other before they can start connecting in future.

Are you talking about the stock gallery? Quickpic detects everything fine for me, I never use the stock anymore.
Well yeah the built in Android one.
I create folders and download files on the tablet but I can't see them on my PC over MTP until I restart the tablet which fires up Media Scanner.

Oh, there's your problem. I never use the PC connector stuff, it's notoriously unreliable and slow. Personally, I'd recommend a microSD or airdroid to transfer stuff.

I don't think that's the case here. My Samsung Galaxy 10.1 runs Media Scanner when files are changed and have never had this issue.
Also the default music player does not see new files added until the tablet has been restarted.

Ooooh, I see your point. I meant the ASUS tablets' file transfers are unreliable (this was the case with my prime too). I don't really know what the problem might be. Have you tried upgrading the normal stuff (upgrading firmware, factory resets)? Also, I've heard good things about the beats ROM in the dev section.

I am running the latest .26 firmware and have tried factory reset. I've not flashed a custom recovery yet, so not going to be able to try custom ROMs just yet.
File transfers for me have been fine. I created a folder on the tablet (via ES File Explorer) and then had to reboot the tablet before this folder was visible on my PC via MTP. I then copied 20GB to the tablet without a hiccup.
Has anyone had any success in using Wifi File Transfer Pro, with uploading files to the memory card? I tried to move a 2.6gb mkv to my memory card from my pc, via this app, and it wont work. When i tried with the free version, it said i needed the Pro, so i got the Pro, and still nothing.
I know i can do this File Manager HD and ES, but i wanted to try this out.
I don't know about Wifi File Transfer, but I use WiFi File Explorer Pro just fine. The only issue i run into is on my work LAN, where the network prohibits it.
