i tried to transfer some images from phone and sd card to PC and it was a major nightmare like always with every samsung galaxy series i owned
is there some kind of retarded issue with these phones and why they never seem to get the usb transfers to work flawlessly?
it crashed my explorer windows about 10 times before very slowly i managed to transfer files in smaller chunks
it was calculating how much time it will take to transfer images. wtf i havent seen that since like windows 98.
i had to unplug my phone few times and close the explorer windows and start over because it was just freezing all the time
how do i fix this crap this shouldnt be happening in 2018 and with 800 dollar phone
MTP, baby.
Every modern android phone has an awful transfer experience. I'm now copying a 9GB backup and it's taking forever. I have to use the rear USB ports because without it I get a "Device is busy or disconnected" message.
As for a 'fix': use an official cable. Don't use front I/O if you have a desktop PC. piss about with different cables and ports until it works. Only transfer files in chunks.
Hi if possible try and transfer all or half your files to your sd card and then remove sd and insert it into the pc for better speeds. I've only ever transferred a few files from phone to pc, but I know that when I transfer multiple photos and or a rom or two at about 2 gigs a piece from internal to sd card it works fast. All i use is a sandisk 32gb extreme sd, not to special. I agree the mtp should not be slow in this day and age, i remember uploading a ton of photos to google photos with good internet and it got so slow I gave up so I defenitely feel your pain!
is there any fix for that? if i root the phone?
i did use original cable but front usb port. will try the rear port thank you
its kinda pain in the ass to take out the sd card and take off the case and look for a paper clip every time
this is really retarded to be having this issue in 2018 i think
Hi, Hoping there are some out there that have experience with file transfer from an Android phone. I am somewhat new to the arena and it looks like there is apps out there but I'm wondering if there is an all in one for my needs... I would like to be able to:
Transfer larger files from my phone to my NAS (Diskstation) and my PS4. At home wireless might not be the fastest but probably the most practical. I have tried BubbleUpnp but it looks like all I can do is stream from the phone to a device, not transfer the files. If I have that wrong please let me know. Also I've had times when in Hotel rooms the wireless is not strong enough to transfer files, and would like to be able to transfer from phone to PS4 over USB if possible. If that amounts to a couple different apps that's ok, just was trying to make this as simple as possible. Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2

Ok, that didn't go well.. How about just this. I have an SD card formatted to FAT32. I plug my phone via cable into my ps4, select transfer files in the automatic menu that pops y on the phone and my ps4 doesn't recognize it. Is there a way to get my phone to recognize the storage while in the phone and through USB? Must I take it out of the phone and put into a USB reader? Thanks for any help..

You do have a few options:
1. get an OTG (on the go) micro usb to full usb (female) adapter, attach a usb stick to your phone using the adapter, copy the files to the stick and pack to the ps4
2. ES File Explorer is an app that supports file transfer over http (amongs other things) and through it's help section it shows you how to do it if you do not know how. however that requires that the ps4's internal drive is shared over your network.
Hope that helps

Thanks, the otg is a good idea, need to find one with a keychain. Never been able to keep track of a USB stick for very long. Anyone happen to know why some phones are recognized and some aren't through a USB cable?

Here's the thing.
It depends on the phone itself. Some phones, when connected to pc/other devices are recognised as mass storage devices (like any other usb stick).
Most phones though, especially after android 4.4 are recognised as mtp (media transfer protocol) devices, meaning that it depends on the target device (pc/ps4/etc) on how its is going to be handled or managed.
I received my Pro yesterday and have been unsuccessful in transferring my music to my phone. I currently have a Galaxy S8 with 19gb of music on my SD card. Unfortunately, just popping in the SD card to the OnePlus is not an option. I have a Mac and have tried using Android File Transfer, but after a few gigs it just locks up. I also tried using Airdroid and it locks up also. How the hell do I get my music on this damn phone? I have enabled USB file transfer on the OnePlus. The OnePlus switch app worked well for transferring everything else, but I could not find a way to use it to transfer from my S8 SD card. Any help would be appreciated.
use ShareIt.. or Mi Drop... both are great apps to transfer anything u want from any device to another .-.
Copy all necessary files from your sdcard onto your computer using an SD card reader, and then zip it up into a single file using 7-zip or the native archive application on your computer. Then connect your new phone to your computer in MTP mode and copy the single file onto it. Disconnect the phone and then unzip the file using any file manager (I used solid explorer, available in the Play Store) . I did that for around 50 gigs worth of files without issues. If you don't have a sdcard reader, you could zip up the files on your old phone using the file manager and then copy that to your computer in MTP mode.
I'm pretty sure there are easier ways to do this too, for instance by creating a local network using WiFi Direct and connecting both phones.
Re: Funkeruski
Was just wondering if you were able to transfer all your data from your sd card to your new OnePlus device cuz I'm in the same situation right now, using the OnePlus switch app it's transferring everything EXCEPT my data from my SD card which like you I have a ton of music, pictures and videos on my SD card that I would love to have on my new phone so if you were successful in doing this PLEASE let me know how you did this... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
One of the easiest and best tools to transfer your music is "MusConv" Tool which have many great features to manage all your music
I've transfered over 10gb of songs via windows 10 folder drop
Takes a few hours
And sometime the transfer time won't show until it's nearly done.
I'd suggest dropping them into a folder on your computer then transfering them a few 100 at a time if your having issues
I've used multiple methods as I keep messing up a flash. Via Bluetooth (takes ages but works)
Using programs/apps like dr phone (I wouldn't recommend this as it's just overly complicated to setup.)
Cloud transfers - Google drive, Dropbox ect
All seem to work fine in moderation.
Also a corrupted file can cause issues during a transfer
Have you tried an OTG cable with a SD card reader attached?

I am Leaving my Samsung S9 for a OnePlus 7t Pro 5G I think it was a mistake. There like 2-3 things I can't seem to find an easy solution for. Anyway, the USB to USB C file adaptor that came with the S9 did the trick. I was able to load a USB card reader with the Micro SD card from my S9 and transfer my music over. It took me less than an hour. It was going to take close to two hours just to transfer from phone to PC and maybe another two to the Oneplus. Reading Tifero comment gave me the idea. BTW if you need one Amazon sales USB to USB-C adaptors.

MusConv is one of the greatest tools available for converting any kind of music into any other type of music. It is strongly recommended that you make use of this tool.
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....

Plug your phone to PC, then reboot your PC without disconnecting your phone USB cable.
Wait till boot up, and login to check if you can transfer files now.
[On your phone]You also need to swipe down the notification bar, there is an option about charging or something, press it, and it will pop-up some options about charging only or file transfer (MTP)
i was facing the same problem, i then used the usb directly on the motherboard and the trandfer completed successfully
I've always randomly have problems with transferring large/a lot of files between Android and PC on many phones, USB ports, and cables. I believe the problem lies in MTP as I once saw topjohnwu rant about it once.
Nowadays I just use app like Airdroid instead.
