Hi,
I have a SM-G920F (completely stock) on 5.1.1.
I'm experiencing very slow file uploads to any PC on my LAN.
Downloads (from PC to phone) = 10-15 MBps
Uploads (from Phone to PC) = 1 MBps
My WIFI network is 5G, target PCs are on a Gigabit wired connection.
Things tried:
I've tried several target PCs
Static IP for the phone
Rebooted the router
Rebooted device
Changed network to 2.4GHz
Any ideas why I'm seeing very slow upload of files ? I'm not even sure if this is normal (I'd hope not lol).
Thanks in advance...
Le bump....
Anyone else feel like testing an upload from their S6 to a pc or mac ?
Using ES file manager if possible.
What speeds do you see ?
That be a no then lol.
I have exactly the same speed as you with a galaxy S5 plus (G901f) with lollipop. It must be a problem of es file explorer because with solid explorer I have both upload and download speed of ~8MB(but slower than the 12-14MB/s of download speed of es file explorer).

Transfer files via an Ad Hoc WiFi Network. Although 'Airdroid' , '3CX DroidDesktop 2' and other WiFi file transfer Apps require a routed connection to function, this method is akin to 'Wifi Direct' in that the device creates the network, the PC connects to that network, the device then 'serves' it's contents and the PC accesses those contents via a web browser.
Apps Needed
Fast File Transfer (Free)
X-plore (Free)
Step 1 - Establish an Ad Hoc Network Connection
1 - Open X-plore, select a file, select share, then select 'Fast File Transfer'.
2 - Configure a network name (SSID) + password for the Ad Hoc Network 'Fast File Transfer' creates.
Step 2 - Create a Bi-directional connection between your Android Device & PC
1 - Connect PC to the newly created network.
2 - Open X-plore and select 'Start Wi-Fi file sharing' to activate file transfer capabilities.
3 - Open a web browser and input the phone's location info provided by X-plore.
*NOTE: DO NOT ENGAGE 'FAST FILE TRANSFER' (with a probable location of 192.168.43.1:8080) BECAUSE THIS WILL CLOSE THE AD HOC NETWORK!!!!
Step 3 - Close the Connection + Disable the Ad Hoc Network
1 - Open X-plore and 'Stop' WiFi File Sharing.
2 - Exit 'Fast File Transfer' to terminate the 'Ad Hoc' network.
*'Fast File Transfer' retains Ad Hoc network configuration, no need to configure each time.
* This Ad Hoc network works for RDP as well. I use 'Jump Pro'. It's processor and RAM intensive, but works. I'm assuming there aren't any inherent limitations to the Ad Hoc network 'Fast File Transfer' creates, but I haven't gotten a VNC app to work. Worth a try.
* X-plore limits some file transfer capabilities without paid app (e.g. direct SDcard file transfer). This is frustrating, but the developer wants to drive some revenue; And for all it's functionality, the App is well worth it.
*This is not a WiFi Tethering with file transfer solution. Connecting to the Ad Hoc network DISABLES INTERNET. This is like connecting your device via a cable. It's also much more secure because your files do not pass though a router (thereby the internet) but directly from your PC and device (& vice versa).

Hi, I was interesting in this matter. Transfer big files between HTC One and PC.
But I have a problem with the fast file transfer,when I share a file the program shows this message:
NOT COMPATIBLE. It seems like your device does not have a valid WiFi Tethering ...
WTF??

Frustrating, I know.
I found and documented this hack before I had cell service. Once I activated my phone with Metro PCS they broke the function because I didn't get 'Tethering' as a paid option. They remotely disabled all built in Android tethering capabilities. Your carrier might block native Android tethering as well.
I haven't found a solution for this carrier violation yet. To reinstate the function would assuredly include low level coding, up to and including flashing the ROM. I only root my phone and don't flash the ROM because I don't think using CyanogenMod or another Mod is much better than my customized rooted stock Android, especially after 4.0 (ICS).
I can suggest using the AirDroid option for now. I'll look for another solution in the mean time. (At this point I just remove my sd card and transfer files that way. I know the HTC One doesn't have an sd card slot so this isn't an option for you. I'll do my best to find something)
when i reached step 2-2, i couldn't start Airdroid (as it needs internet connection) and Fast File Transfer had been already turned the connection off for tethering.....
any one have an idea!!!
it works dude. thanks.
Direct connection between phone and pc
Your method does work but i found 3CX DroidDesktop works much better and faster. Hope it helps.
I'm trying to copy some files over wifi (802.11ac) from my SMB/CIFS NAS to my Android phone but I'm only getting 4 MB/s max.
Is this normal?
I'm using ES File Explorer 3 and I've tried multiple phones (Galaxy S4, HTC One) but always have the same problem. I don't think my wifi is the problem (it shows a connected link speed of about 400 Mbps on 802.11ac) and my NAS is definitely not the problem (LAN copying is well above 60 MB/s on my RAID-6 array)
Thanks for any help!
I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place for this question. Its not necessarily a Nexus 5 spetcific question as it also involves an Asus TF300T.
I'm currently in a hotel with not only spotty WiFi coverage but also really awful throughput.
I have about 8GB of data I want to transfer to my Asus TF300T running 4.2.1.
I started with airdroid then WiFi File Transfer but it seems the WiFi network blocks access between devices; well at least on ports 1234, 4567 and 8888.
I then tried WiFi Direct but it looks like they (Asus) removed that feature in the last upgrade. Boo.
Finally the TF300T has a keyboard dock with a USB port but when I plug in the N5 (either in MTP or PTP) the TF300T doesn't 'see' the storage.
Uploading to Dropbox from the N5 then downloading to the TF300T would take several days at this rate. If I fellback on LTE, I would eat through the rest of my data plan and the month is young!
There are other applications out there but they're sketchy or questionable at best, and I don't want to load those types of applications on my rooted devices, hence why I'm reaching out to the community for advice / suggestions.
Thanks all

Install this and run on host device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xeustechnologies.android.kws
with target device open the http://IP.IP.IP.IP and proceed to download the file it should be really fast since its localhost

To avoid the connection problems, create a hotspot on your nexus 5 and connect the tablet to it (when i do this i leave mobile data off just in case, so the tablet and phone will simply be in a LAN together), then use whatever program youd like to transfer through LAN. For example ES file manager has a built in LAN transfer function and ive gotten speeds up to 2mb per second with the nexus as the host sending the file.

WiFi File Transfer seems to do the exact same thing.
kWS seems to use port 8080 by default and that doesn't work. I've tried other ports with no luck.
We're on the same subnet but neither device can ping the other so I guess they've done a good job at setting it up so that machies cannot communicate with each other?

Yeah, that sounds like a winner right there. I'll try and update with my findings.
Thanks!

Must be a firewall correct try another port such as UDP port 53 (DNS) or TCP port 22 or 21 (SSH) or try 80 (HTTP) usually HTTP wont be blocked
Mobile Hotspot Winner
Setting up a mobile hotspot did the trick! I was able to use all the apps but file transfers never finished. (most of the files are a few hundred megs)
I'll just wait until I get to a better location or try again when I have a bit more time.
I'll also try using common ports like 53 and 22, 23 etc to see if that helps while on this network.
Thanks all for your advice on this.
This ( https://play.google.com/store/search?q=superbeam&c=apps ) is the best IMHO.
Works with phone <-> phone and phone <-> PC without problems, the UI is great and easy to use
Hi!
I recently bought a S7 after the Note7 situation. During my time with the Note7 I noticed very slow network transfer speeds when using SMB. 600kb/s. With Http to the same lan device I get upwards of 6MB/s. The S7 I have now does the same thing.
I tested using TEL CSC 6.1 and the new 7.0 beta.
The original Note7 discussion is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/slow-wifi-lan-transfers-t3452766
Any ideas?

I confirm same issue here on French Galaxy S7 (Exynos chip). LAN SMB is slow, but anything else is OK. I had to switch to PnP to watch HD movies, SMB access to my Windows server beeing too slow (less than 300 KB/s most of the time). I can sustain 8/9 MB/s transfer speed on QHD videos with Netflix, Youtube and PnP media server. I tried various explorers and media players, and it's always the same, so this doesn't seem related to a particular app.
It's a very weird issue. My old Galaxy S4 (Lollipop) had the same slow LAN/SMB transfer speed (over wifi) as my current Galaxy S7 (Marshmallow) (tops out at 2MB/s at most using ES Explorer) but my Nexus 7 (Lollipop, rooted) does a good 5 or 6MB/s (with all other conditions the same as the phones).
This is over 5Ghz wifi with the devices sitting within a foot of the Asus RT-AC68U router, downloading 2 or 3GB file from a WD MyCloud device connected to the router via network cable, sitting 2 ft away from router.
Have yet to find any solutions other than setting up http or ftp services, which defeats the purpose of a NAS.

I was convinced it was a software issue because my Galaxy S5 running Resurection Remix (Nougat based) is able to transfer files with X-plorer using SMB at 8/9 MB/s, when my S7, nougat updated, peaks at 3 MB/s in the exact same conditions. So I decided to flash the latest Resurection Remix on my S7 (voiding the warranty) to test and guest what ? RR performed even worse than Samsung's OS ! So I don't really know what's going on here. Maybe this is a broadband issue ? Mayby Exynos S7 have a weird Wi-Fi chip that doesn't like SMB ? Who knows ? I gave up and installed SimpleDLNA on my Windows server. I'm now able to watch HD movies without problem.
Same here in S7 (non-Edge) Exynos model.
Usually, the upload speed start at 5MB/s, after 1-2 mins, the speed start slowing down and finally drop to 15KB/s
* (B = byte)
The only temp solution is enter the Wifi Setting page, tap on the SSID currently connected, tap advance setting, the back back back to home (do not change any setting or reconnect). THe transfer speed may boost back to 15MB/s shortly 1-2 mins again.
Waiting for samsung's fix as well. Same problem in G930FXXU1DQEJ and G930FXXU1DQJ1 (I have two S7 with same problem in my home.)
No such slowing down problem is found in my old Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Galaxy S3.
S7 is really well fitted phone for me just except this SMB problem.
Any update on this issue? Is it being solved in Android O (8.0)?
S8's AQJ5 firmware seems already fixed the same problem.
I made a post some time ago complaining about my POCO X3 PRO wifi link speed in 5ghz being extremely slow (192mps the same as 2.4ghz wifi), and I was unable to fix it even installing TGZ of other region roms with the Xiaomi Flash Tool.
Today I received MIUI 12.5.3.0RJUMIXM and for my surprise after checking the wifi link speed it was 866mbps, so I thought it was finally fixed, but no, after I connected manually to my 2.4ghz and then reconnected the 5ghz the wifi link was again 192mbps and I was unable to connect again in 866mbps, so I reinstalled the OTA update, and again it was 866mbps.
I will be making a video showing the issue in case I didn't explained my selft correctly.
NOTE: My wifi is only 50mbps connection, then why do I care about this you may ask. A: I share with my phone large files and videos (between 1gb up to 12gb or more each file) so I use wifi file transfer pro, which is old, basic but works like a charm with this new 866mbps connection).
Sharing files with WIFI 192mbps = 15mb/s transfer with 18mb/s peaks
Sharing files with USB 2.0 480mbps = 36bm/s solid transfer
Sharing files with USB 3.0 = N/A connection fails no matter what cable or port do I use but this would be the ideal connection.
Sharing files with WIFI (fixed) 866mbps = 66mb/s with 73mb/s peaks
UPDATE: in this new update, the issue is fixed by rebooting too as long as I dont switch to a 2.4ghz network everything works fine.
