Hello guys,
I have an Eee Pad TF with the latest 3.2 update. I have problems copying/cutting and pasting folders with a reasonably large number of files in them (mainly pictures) to the TF from PC via WiFi and also from the TF to my NAS (WiFi) or also microSD. It seems the copy stops at some point and skips or leave out some of the files. I tried with File Manager HD (updated last night), ES Explorer, File Expert, etc.
It is frustrating as I never know if the copy has completed successfully without comparing the folders content and still I don't trust just a file-count control.
As anybody come across any similar issue? Is there a way to compare folders like in total commander? Is there a log to be checked after copying large amount of files?
Thanks a lot!
The only solution I've come up with is to either create an FTP using the PC and copy it over by downloading them with FileZilla. Or you can use USB and enable USB debugging and use "adb pull" command to download everything. Another option is to use DropSync PRO and sync the picture photo with dropbox.
Three situations that you have to find out.
1. large number of files can be transferred from/to between SD and MicroSD, but not via WiFi...wifi not stable.
2. large number of files can be transferred from/to via WiFi, but not SD and MicroSD...cards not stable.
3. Both WiFi and Cards coping are not stable...use other File Manager App. ( I use File Manager HD also, but I seldom transferring large numbers of files.)
I've noticed this too while using file expert to copy large files and folder locally, ES file explorer did have this problem but it seems to be fixed now. I've always found that root explorer always works perfectly in this case.
Tablet shows up as storage drive but will not allow drag and drop. At least not completely.
If I drag over and drop a folder onto the tablet, only the folder and any folders inside the folder will transfer. Nothing inside the folders will move, so it just stalls out.
I've also installed Kies, and get the same results. I'm clueless at this point. What should I look for now?
Calibre won't upload books either and gives no errors.

Can you give us a few more details....... What is your computers OS, what model tablet do you have 8013?, 4.0.4 or 4.1.2, What kind of files (avi, apk, mp3, mp4, doc, text)
Hard to help without complete details.

Windows 7, 8013, 4.1.2
Files: epub, mobi, .jpg, .opf etc.
Nothing will transfer. Nothing from Calibre, Kies or drag and drop. Yet all those applications successfully connect to the device.
I can make new folders on the tablet but that's it.
Calibre just popped up an error that says it can't communicate with the device. Which seems odd, as it shows connected status.

Were you able to transfer files from Calibre before or is this a first attempt?

In Calibre does the note 10.1 show up on the top icon bar as a black icon labeled "device"
If so right click on it and then click on "configure this device" you will need to tell calibre what kind of files you want to transfer to the tablet like pdf, epub, mobi. Then you need to choose what folders you want to transfer your book files to on your tablet.
If you can not see the black tablet labeled device make sure that your usb is set to "connect as a media device (mtp)" and not set to "camera (ptp)"
Oh..... can you see the tablet in Windows explorer.... it should be the last item in Computer, it will be after all or your hard drives and cd drives. It should be listed as "GT-N8013"
Let me know what you see so we can continue.

Black icon, check!
Right click to configure, fail.
It gives an error because it's running a job. The job runs infinitely because it's trying to get the list of books on the device but it can't see it, apparently. Yet as I said before, it does connect to it =\
Yes the Note shows as a storage devise in Windows. But drag and drop will not work.

Are you rooted?
have you tried to transfer file with a free app called AirDroid in playstore. I like it better than Kies

Not rooted yet. I just got the Note yesterday and I want to get a feel for stock first.
I'll look into AirDroid, thanks for the tip.
I've just started using DropBox and moved a few books. I just wish I could take them out of DropBox and put them on my device =\

What book reader are you using and why can't you put books on you Note from dropbox?
Your drag and drop issue is on your windows7 computer correct? In the past I had drag and drop issues with some apps on my win7 computer and I had to do a reinstall of the OS to fix my issue.
.
Today I plugged it into another computer, it recognized right away. Open it, drag and drop a file boom, it copies.
Go back to my machine toss Ubuntu on for dual boot. It recognizes it no problem. Open it, drag n drop a file, no go.
Seems like some kind of hardware issue.

If you have a home WIFI system, you might consider installing a file manager like ES File Explorer that supports SMB. You don't have to be rooted to do it and once you input your home network settings you can transfer files wirelessly. It's much more reliable than Samsung's Kies software.

I use DropBox and ES File Explorer but that doesn't solve my issue of needing direct access via USB cable.
And besides that, broke things need fixed
Why do you use Kies?
Opens up on my PC like 2 removable discs... Tablet and card. Drag and drop files I want to copy...
Solved the problem. Bought a Mac, installed Android File Transfer, awesome ensued. PC is now a curb ornament.

Dont want to turn on a mac vs windows war here but whats the deal ????.. you dont need any software to connect to windows
Obviously USB mass storage does not work in mac or windows..
(I use both and each has there own advantages )
Edit : did not read the full thread.. Guess its just a driver issue... I can say -" windows suck with drivers " . Love mac for that

There is some major bull****tery with Windows, my hardware and my GN 10.1
It connects, pops up as a drive and file transfers work on two other Win7 boxes. I did everything imaginable to get it to transfer on my ex main pc. It would show up as a drive, I could click it and see all the files but when trying to transfer files, it was a no go. It would try. A window would pop up and the progress bar would show but then stop and not transfer anything.
I have used microsoft autoplay for years transferring photos and videos to my PC from my camera and my phone. The phone is working fine with one exception.
1) I'm able using autoplay on my PC to set a destination directory on the PC i.e. C:\Users\Mike\Pictures\2015
2) I can also tag them with event details or simply let them the folder be auto named to the date of transfer.
3) Deleting the source is also optional, saying no, simply lets them remain on the phone.
What I have noted since I got my S6, is the S6 will not simply transfer the videos and photos in the /DCIM/Camera folder, but it will transfer TTS files from the navigation software Waze under the Android/Wave folder and other files from assorted game apps also under the android folder.
So I have two questions:
1) Is there anyway to tell the phone to only share the folders under "DCIM" during sync / transfer?
2) Is there any other way to hide folders on the phone other than "private mode", this does not work as the navigation software does not see it's TTS files and simply transfers them again?
This seems to be a pretty simple issue, yet its stumped me and Samsung was no help either, they suggested their smart switch software, which is more for backup than transferring periodically.
Thanks
Mike
Just to clarify a few things.
- INTERNAL FORMAT.
- will turn your old internal sdcard storage space into regular internal storage space. (meaning it will not show up as an sdcard anymore but will still be available for the phone to use as regular internal storage)
- will encrypt your sdcard. (meaning it will no longer work on other devices) (this sux because ppl use it for backup but i have a fix)
- your new sdcard will appear as an internal sdcard (replacing the default one created using internal storage)(this means it's automatically used and supported by all apps, not just those with custom sdcard settings)
- EXTERNAL FORMAT.
- will function much like sdcard did in android 5.0.
- some builds are experiencing write permission errors. (cm13 for example most apps won't be able to use external card making it almost useless)(es file explorer and many root apps may still work.
If I missed any of the main functionally changes please let me know and i'll update accordingly.
- Solution to the "I want a backup for my data in case my phone breaks, but i like the idea of the internal storage feature."
- The solution i've come up with is a handly little app called syncme wireless.
- Steps to setup SyncMe Wireless to regularly backup your sdcard data onto a PC. (you can also use cloud devices but i am opposed to cloud services so i'll be showing this method here)
- Since i think windows is most popular and it's what i'm on i'll use it as an example. There are many exhaustive file sharing guides for setting up your permissions for network share on the internet available already so I will not be exhaustive, i'll just include basic setup instructions.
1. create a folder you can access easily, the desktop is a good place for it if you don't have administrator rights.
2. right click the folder click share with - > specific people. (if sharing is disabled enable it)
3. make sure you have read and write access. (the windows account you have the password to)
4. once folder is shared install syncme wireless on android device.
5. on windows device push windows key + r at the same time or go to start menu and click run.
6. type cmd and ok.
7. in command prompt type ipconfig.
8. make a note of your computers IP address. (it's ok if your dchp server changes your ips and it's not static syncme will take a note of your mac address and use that to identify your pc in the future after first connect)
9. open syncme wireless on your android device.
10. click ad computer.
11. your computer may show up automatically, if not click the menu icon and click add computer again, here you can manually add your computers ip address. (this is because some routers block scanning)
12. Click on User and type your WINDOWS LOGIN USERNAME that has permission to access the files on your pc.
13. click password and type your WINDOWS LOGIN PASSWORD that applies to the username you used.
14. once your computer is setup the rest is pretty self explanatory, click on the setup computer to add a sync folder, you can sync everything or just specific folders. You can set it to run at night when you're sleeping every night so you always have an sdcard backup on your computer, and if something happens to your phone you can reformat your card and copy the files back.
15. you can manually run folder pairs as well by clicking the folder pair and clicking run. I use this to send files to my phone over wifi, just add files to a folder that is setup in a pair, then run that folder pair sync, and the files will show up on your phone without having to plug in cables.
any suggestions or requests for help i'll try to add and respond to asap but I am not on here every day. Just wanted to help people solve the issue i had with cm 13 so more people can get into using it as a daily driver and support its development.
Issue: When moving videos and pictures via USB they become unreadable, some transfer when done is small amounts 10 or less files will produce readable files.
How I am connecting:
Via the charging cable that came with the phone.
Setting the device to USB file transfer, I set this a default in the Dev options.
Accessing via Windows file explorer and dragging to new folder (Windows 10)
Device:
OnePlus 7 Pro
Android 11
Oxygen OS 11.0.1.3.GM31CB
GM1915
What I have Tried:
Moving file is small batches 10 or less files
This works but will take me forever considering I am trying to move over 4500 files.
Attempting to compress into one file via WinRAR (compression times out) and move a single file.
Extending the automatic lock for 30 minutes (This did not change my results, ever transfers that would not have exceed 30 minutes are producing unreadable images and videos)
