I have a relatively large amount of photos and videos (~10k, ~40GB) that I need to transfer to my phone but the transfer is so slow.
I even left it for the whole night and in the morning it was stuck. My phone is Poco F3.
The only possible solution I have currently is to upload to Google Photos and let my phone download them but my network upload speed is not fast enough for that.
Do you guys have any solution to do it faster, in any reasonable amount of time?

hi all
has anyone experienced their photos disappearing (deleted?) off the phone upon syncing with the PC?
admittedly the device in question is a Chinese Traditional Touch Pro with English windows...font incompatibilities aside, disappearing photos are a still bit too extreme..
i found this.....but there's no solution
at least it proves that im not the only one??

nobody?
As far as I know when you connect to the PC the memory card (where you potentially have the photos stored) is "disconnected" from the device, which means those images wont show up.
thanks for the reply...
hmm ive had worse where the memory card cannot be seen by the phone after activesync (i think it was after..) untill it's taken out and then pushed back in again.
but still...that shouldnt be enough to make the photos disappear completely..
Coming from the Captivate and was thinking about getting the Galaxy SII, but didn't want a form factor that big. What are peoples' thoughts on this phone. Is it slow, laggy, buggy? Details please, thanks
I personally like the phone. Its pretty snappy, and gets good battery life. Annoyances I've seen:
1. Exchange e-mail client is an battery hog. This seems to depend on something more than the phone... Even setting it to no push and no auto sync would eat ~10% per hour with no other phone activity.
2. Connecting the phone to my computer in mass storage mode causes certain apps to require a re-install. Example small app: Alchemy Classic. After disconnected from computer, the app will claim to not be installed. Even rebooting phone will not bring app back. Fortunately, this only effects a very few apps and none that I actually use anymore.
Hope this helps you on your quest for a new phone!

The reason that happens is becuase when you mount the SDcard to your computer, it is then not available to the phone, and this WILL cause certain apps that ALWAYS use the card (like a hard drive) to freak out (sort of like pulling your boot drive out of your computer). Your best bet is to go into settings --> applications, and make sure you click on the running tab, and find that application and stop it before plugging into your computer and mounting the SDcard. The other thing that I prefer, because it is way faster, is to use an SDcard reader, and shut my phone off, then put my SDcard into my reader connected to my computer and transfer what I need then put it back in my phone and start it up.

I could be wrong, but I believe you are seeing an SDcard bug with the atrix2 that makes apps stored on the SDcard to behave this way. I preferred to fix...er, workaround this problem by moving all of my installed apps to internal storage. one advantage to the atrix2 is the gargantuan app storage space available internal to the phone. It's about 4.5GB worth and the largest I've seen on any phone.

I also have a Captivate and was planning on the GSII next and, like you, ended up not wanting a device that big. There are things I like better about the Captivate and things I like better about the Atrix 2 - but you aren't asking for a comparison list. They have different UIs and that always takes some getting used to.
I know it's hard to get a good feel for a device at the store because they have them so tethered down. I am glad I got the Atrix 2 and have not regretted it. That said it's not a leaps and bounds improvement over the Captivate. It's a solid and dependable device. It feels good in the hand (a tiny bit heavier that the Cap.) and has not been laggy at all. Scrolling is smooth. I don't know about buggy as I'm not a power user - and I don't root - but I haven't had any problems at all with it spontaneously shutting down or acting wierd or freezing up - at all. The GPS works great, btw and the battery life is decent. The Captivate camera is quite a bit better.
One think I have noticed in the various forums I visit is there aren't a whole lot of complaints about the Atrix 2 like you see with some devices. That does say a lot.
Good luck and happy device hunting!
Apparently if I transfer a large amount of files or say a single large file >4GB from my phone to the computer - the phone will freeze up.
Some times it will become responsive later but is pretty unstable since going to Chrome will usually cause it to freeze and I will have to reboot.
I have tried transferring a large amount of anime/tv shows and it will consistently freeze/lock up.
Has anyone else experienced this?

first try another device to transferring from that usb port u used for phone
this problem is similar to unstable connection
and unstable connection can have different cause
ROM, micro-port, pc-port, cable, storage of phone or pc & etc
if problem solved after rebooting so it was maybe because of cache or an error in device storage

it will happen when i try to transfer over WiFI to a network share using ES File Explorer (no cables) or even when i transfer to a meenova sd card reader via StickMount/USB OTG.
The problem is not often solved with rebooting..
sometimes not letting the phone sleep will allow it to continue the transfer successfully.

I have the same issue. It took forever transferring photos from my PC to the N5 when i first got the phone due to constant crash and it's the same deal when I made a nandroid backup and trying to transfer to my Win8.1 PC.
I read of the same issue for some people and I wonder if there's a fix? This happens as OP said when you're trying to transfer rather large files using USB. I'm using Airdroid as an alternative, but it's VERY slow.
Anandtech review noted that at around maximum transfer speeds the phone would become unresponsive temporarily.

This is not temporary. I don't think there is a fix. I may just end up returning the phone because of this and the static on video recording.

Huh, so I'm not going crazy. Now the better question is whether or not it's better that I'm not alone in having my My Nexus 5 hang on file transfers. I use FolderSync to keep my all of my Android devices sync'd/backed up to network shares/webdav over WiFi, and the remainder of my devices work beautifully, and the Nexus 5 locked up nightly until I disabled the sync.
What transfer speeds are you getting? Anandtech noted very high transfer speeds (about 150mbps) was causing the phone to lock up in their tests.

This problems still occours even on Android M 6.0 Marshmallow.
nexus 5 is a beta product. I have no doubt about it.
One thing that seems to avoid the freeze up, is first copying from the phone to the PC and latter deleting the contents, instead of cutting and pasting.
I had a 3.95GB file on my Nexus 5 and transferring using MTP to my PC kept freezing the phone. Tried different cables and different computers, but no luck. Out of desperation, because I really needed this file (it's for a project), I put the phone on airplane mode, and then tried the transfer again. It worked! I have no idea if I just got lucky. My thinking was that putting the phone in airplane mode would turn off all the wifi and cellular data transfers that might happen in the background as well as stopping or putting to sleep some Android services. Again, I don't know if this is a real fix or if I just got lucky. Just thought I would share my result.
Airplane mode didn't work (at least not by itself), so I tried rebooting into Safe Mode. You hold the power button, and when "Power Off" shows up on screen, you press and hold it instead of just tapping it. Then it will show the option to boot in Safe Mode.
Hey So im new to the comunity and i reached out to this site before because, I was almost 100% sure my phone was Hacked. I shared a few screens and someone told me to factory reset. before resetting i tried to backup my photos and everything i could to the online drives i could back up some and others i couldnt i noticed the file names for pretty much everything was in a folder called
/storage/emulated/0/.face/ .revitalimage
so i factory reset just to find out that all my backups were deleted/
i have many folders i cant access and when it says optimizing apps right after the reset i still somehow had 900+ apps right off no sign in or anything
i took these screens to see if anyone can help me
my data usage is through the roof and my ram is always running like 98 processes, and wont close most.
i dont know if verizon phones are always unlocked but my phone has been unlocked ive tried rooting but it wont even let me do that.
Malwarefox doesnt find anything .
and when i look up Half the files in the pictures i cant find anything ..
Thank you in Advance Kyle
What really is your issue? What do you mean with "data usage is through the roof"? The amout of Cellular Data Usage?
BTW: Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
FYI: Android kicks off apps when RAM goes low. CPU throttles speed automatically when its temparature goes too high.
Both

Like I said after I reset it still had thousands of apps on here that are unacccessible it encrypts my photo so I can't save them myself and or transfer them I can't view any of my installed apps app data I'm unable to use my Bluetooth tethering and/or hotspot when I try to activate it and just automatically closes I completely turned off all of the background data usage for pretty much everything on my phone and it's still just consumed whether I'm on Wi-Fi or not
I have noticed that sometimes when I download my photos to my PC, the speed is very slow around 2mb sec. Recent downloads the speed was fast again but the last download was slow again. I downloaded photos from my wife's identical phone and it was fast, so there must be some variable that is making downloads to the PC slow but I can't find anything at this stage. If anyone has any experience with this I would love to know the solution.
I found the problem. It seems that if I shut down MPE and restart it every time, files download fast. If I connect when MPE is still active, it will download files but much slower.
