Hey guys, so I wanted to copy files from my PC to wildfire using wifi connection and WebSharing App.Seems cool, but the transfer speed is like on windows 98 from computer made like 20 years ago...
Can anyone tell me why the speed is so slow? I've figured out that if i have wifi, I would just transfer files to my phone even if i don't know where excatly it is and I wouldn't have to worry about cables and stuff.
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
I have very slow transfer speed when copying files from my nas through SMB. When I use Ghost Commander I get 75KByte/s and when I use ES File Explorer I get 160 KByte/s. My wife gets 1.5 mega bytes per second using Ghost Comander on an Empire M1009 tablet. This is what I checked: I am connected to my router on 65Mbps and when using speedtest I get 7.3 Mb(its)ps on my wifi. Also I'm using stock rom.
I searched the forum and found some related posts, but unfortunatly without a solution I could use.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction because the slow transfer speed drives me nuts.

The speed issue is not with the WiFi but the slow memory installed in the tablet.

So you are saying the TF700 can't write more than 160 kB/s to its memory?
Do you have *any* evidence for this?

I know about the slow memory, but when downloading files from the inet directly I get 1,5MByte/s. Also copying from and to sd card is a lot faster than 160KByte/s. It must be something else. Maybe the way TF700 handles the SMB protocol.

I did some aditional testing (I really should have thought of this earlier). I turned FTP on on my NAS and used ES File Explorer using the FTP tab and got >1.5 MByte/s transfer rate. Which isn't great either but a mayor improvment on the 160KB. So it must be the SMB protocol handled on my TAB.

Yesterday I updated my NAS firmware and now on SMB in ES File Explorer I get the same speed as in FTP (1.5-2 MBytes/s). Which is a huge improvement. So I guess the combination of the NAS firmware and the TF700 SMB handling was the problem.
One question remains. Is1.5-2 MBytes/s this the highest transfer speed I can expect when downloading a file due to the slow memory I/O?

I'm getting same problems
slow transfert from my synology to my TF700 (and 701 too) using ES file explorer and SMB protocol
Same thing on a windows computer and my transfert is x5 : so it's not the synology, not the wifi...
and quick transfert with FTP protocol : so it's not the memory or the SD card too...
my guess is that SMB library are not very efficient... or bad setup?
Fiddled arround with this slow SMB some more and I found that when streaming video from my NAS it is very slow and basically unworkable. But when I restart my device it is fast enough (like 17Mb/s or more). The downside is that when I try to stream again after say 6 or 7 hours it is slow again and I have to restart my device again.
Do you guys maybe know a way to restart the SMB stuff on my device without restarting my whole device?
Help is much apreciated.
Turn off WiFi optimization in advanced WiFi settings. Also may help to set it to disconnect whilst sleeping in there too.
Tried what sbdags said but unfortunately it doesn't help. It is related to SMB protocol only. When I use youtube for instance to watch a clip transfer speed is fine.
The solution provided by Sbdags triggered me to try turning Wifi off en on again and what do you know SMB is fast again. So whenever it gets slow again I don't need to reboot anymore. I should have thought of this earlier.
Ran into this late in the thread.....

My WiFi performance to internal storage is 2-3 MB/s, I have a USB gigabit ethernet adaptor plugged into the KBD/dock USB host and get 7-8 MB/s.
This shows that the slow speeds are a WiFi issue and not a SMB issue. Considering that 7-8 MB/s is close to the max write speed of the crappy internal storage, this is pretty good for SMB performance and the TF700 over a wired net.
Not sure if the poor WiFi performance is an Android issue or a tf700t hardware issue.

I have never seen more than 2-3MB write speeds over my network from any android device. My wired pc gets 5.5MBs.

Yea, I see the same WiFi performance (or lack of) with my Note 3 and Nex 7 Grouper. I haven't played with the USB wired NIC (OTG) ....yet. I suspect the same or similiar results...if it works at all. Soooo it is either Androids implementation of WiFi | SMB.
I have noticed that MTP data rates have become lately quite low.
Something in the range of a few MBps.
On the very same PC, very same USB port, I can ramp up to 70 to 100 MBps with a different phone.
It's just me or someone else has experienced the same?
Have u ever tried Color OS. You to have wipe your internal storage to get the speed back mostly. B4 doing that take full backup.
I always throught that the problem was inherent to MTP. I've never had a phone that was able to use MTP reliably connected to a Linux host. YMMV.
As a suggested workaround, ADB has gotten much faster to push binaries to/from the my Bacon. This is how I upload my music now.
Hi, my p30 gets very slow when im transfering large files from the phone via OTG, ive tried different memories, also had a phone replacement and does the same thing, does anyone have the same problem??
