[Q] HTC One S USB Storage is slow

Issue: When transferring files from sdcard to pc via usb, the process takes an incredible amount of time. For example, I attempted to transfer 3 pictures files at 2 megs each. It took well over 10 minutes to simply discover the files then another 10 to transfer the files. Additionally I've been having trouble with windows losing the mount after file transfer. I would then have to "safely" remove then unplug and replug for it to detect the mount again.
What I would like to know is if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it? Would anyone know if it's on the phone side or the PC side? Note: I have tried multiple computers and it presents the same issue. So I'm inclined to believe that it's on the phone side.
Laptop: is an EliteBook 2560p by HP running Win 7 with 4 gigs of ram. I have installed HTC Sync Manager and all drivers, to my knowledge, are installed and functioning correctly.
HTC One S: is running the ViperOne S ROM. I'm unsure as to whether or not the ROM is the issue. I don't remember experiencing any issues prior to the installation of this ROM. However, it's the best ROM I've had so far therefore I've probably overlooked the issues until now. I'm going to change to that new "UnKnown_Retribution" to see if it's a ROM issue. However, I would still like some assistance in the event that doesn't fix the issue.

Update
Update: I just attempted to transfer the flash gui.apk file but I got this error message (see attached .png file).

Think you might have to format the sd and might be best if you get the phone to do it. If that don't work think it could be bad news for the phone.

Thanks for your assistance. It turns out that the cable was the issue.

So phone screen cracked... anyway to backup internal SD?

My phone screen cracked a couple weeks ago, it wasn't that bad that I couldn't stand it but it was a little bothersome. Anyways I thought I would just put up with it for a while, but I ended up placing a claim for a replacement from Asurion a few days ago. Well I dropped my phone again the other day while I was walking home using the LED flash, and I thought everything was fine til I got home and I noticed the screen didn't turn on anymore. It is unresponsive as well so can't answer calls either. I tried plugging the device into my computer and it listed the device but I couldn't access the actual files. I tried opening Odin up just to see if I could even write to the phone, and ended up flashing a root66 file I had from a while back. I don't believe it wipes the the internal SD so I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve the data off the phone still? I have most of my stuff, including Titanium backups, on my external SD; but I believe I have a few important files on the internal too.
Edit: .-. Just remember I was on an AOSP rom before odin'ing.. so phone won't boot up all the way. Are there any AOSP roms I can flash in Odin? Yeah I know what I did was really stupid haha.

There's an app called airdroid that let's you control and use a lot of the phones functions on a web browser via wifi. You can browse your files, send and receive text messages among many other things. Maybe it will help you out with copying files to your computer and other problems?
Edit: just saw your edit sorry don't know how to help.

Even then, the screen doesn't turn on and is unresponsive. So can't install any apps or anything.

You could try adb pull, but I don't know the exact paths you should use. Don't forget phone needs to in usb debugging before you're able to use it.

Gave up on adb a while ago. Tried so many times to figure out how to use it to no avail. Plus I might have screwed up too far at this point to adb

You could give Android Commander a try. Read about it on Addictivetips, I believe it uses adb. It's pretty much a file explorer.

[Q] Android File Transfer issues

Hi everyone,
I am trying to transfer over to my new Nexus 5 32GB photos, videos, and music from my Galaxy S3. I have already copied the files from the S3 to my Macbook Air and am using Android File Transfer to deliver them to my Nexus 5. I find I can only manage a few seconds or so of file transfer before an error message pops up on the phone saying either "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" or "Unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped". Then Android File Transfer says it can't access device storage and I have to unplug and reinsert the USB cable to try again. Any ideas as to why this keeps happening?
Thank you,
Jason

I got that a couple times as well transferring over some of my wallpapers from my GS3.

What did you do to resolve the problem? Is it an issue with the Nexus 5 or with the file transfer program?
Thanks.

I gave up on the Mac client except for short transfers of a very limited number of files at a time. Same problems you're seeing. Android File Transfer also doesn't always show an accurate picture of what's really on your SD Card.
If you're comfortable in the (OSX) terminal program using adb push and adb pull works flawlessly, and opening a shell on the N5 works just fine for seeing what's there, renaming and moving files, etc. No graphic interface, but it works really well.

I also have this issue. I thought it was an issue with my install and a factory reset didn't help.
Should I RMA this to do we see it as software. I'm also using a mac.

Steve

You could send an email to Google asking them to improve their Android File Transfer program, I guess... As I mentioned, I have switched over to using ADB and the OSX terminal program for any heavy lifting, and use AFT for the little stuff.
You could also run a program on your N5 and transfer files via WiFi. I have used WiFi File Transfer Pro with great success (though on my Galaxy Nexus; I haven't tried it yet on my N5). You run it on your N5 and it sets up a web server which you connect to with a web browser on your Mac (e.g., Safari or Chrome). Full graphic interface on your Mac, works over WiFi rather than USB.

Have you tried airdroid client? Works like a charme, just install on your n5 , you can then navigate in your phone, even root, from their server, used to reinstall all my media and titanium back-up file from N4 to N5

Not able to access my data outside my Nexus 5

I just got an issue with both my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 7and CM11
Posted questions in the nexus 7 forum, but even if the reasons are not the same (For my N7 deadly switch from Davilk to ART, while my N5 was a nighties upgrade), in the end both devices are in the same state: they boot, I access to my data, many of CM11 menus are screwed up and notifications don't show (3/4G doesn't work either, but Wifi does).
I wnat to factory reset and install clenaly a new ROM. Big probleme: although I do regular Titanium backups (every night actually) and I can access this data on my phone when booting, I cannot push he data outside the phone.. Whenever I connect my N5 to the PC it recognizes it, I can click on it, but when checking, it just shows absolutely no dtaa. I tried enabling/disabling MTP, same for USB debug and also uninstalled all drivers and tried both ADB and usual N5 drivers. No luck
Anyone has an idea? I feel really like an idiot

Is the phone turned on and the screen unlocked when you try to access it ? As the device will not let you gain access to the data if the phone is screen locked?

Yes screen on
Unlocked although indeed it behaves like it is locked.
You have a point I will try disabling all security, that may help.

Question Data transfer to Pixel 7 pro

Just a quick one, does anyone know what app is meant to transfer data from a Samsung to a pixel? If I plug the phones into one another my Samsung says no compatible app and there's no option to transfer data. I'm wondering if its some bloatware I've uninstalled from the Samsung perhaps. There's no transfer dialogue that pops up on my old phone and I need to move all my pictures across. Thanks

If you plug both devices together you should be able to change USB mode of one of them to Data Transfer and then copy/paste between them.

Thanks for the reply. The issue I'm having now is the setup dialogue is gone. Anyone have any tips on where to find it?
Edit. I don't want to copy paste and have all the dates and times on my images reset

Ooooooh, so you skipped the initial transfer during setup?
You'd have to figure out what the intent command is to relaunch initial setup and try that way, otherwise factory reset the pixel and say yes to transfer from other device.

Ah yeah, you'd have to do a reset and start over.

Personally, I've always had much better results telling the first setup screen that I don't have my old phone, and then proceeding to restore using Google's cloud backup. I've never had an issue doing that, but of course, that requires that you had Google cloud backup performed on the old phone. You can do so on the Samsung if you still have it, and you hadn't already done so previously.
I believe I've read about some way to manually activate the first setup without a factory reset - possible by using an app such as Activity Launcher, but I don't recall the details.

That's a good suggestion thanks. I'm always afraid I'll lose things of I don't transfer phone to phone but I know it can lead to problems by inadvertently carrying over loads of old files that won't be used by the new phone. Still have my Sammy so I'll back that up. Thanks

You're welcome! I'm at the tail end of transferring my files from my 6 Pro to the 7 Pro. It's mostly just music (FLAC files) that's left, and I'm not moving all of them.
