Hi,
Copying file from the PC to the internal storage is VERY slow.
I've got a USB 2 port and cable, but still: a copy of a 178 Mo takes 8 min and 30 secs !!!!!
Is it a defect on my device or a general issue ?
Thanks
David
Try to use the File transer option instead of Activesync on the pop-up windows in the phone when you connect it.
That was useful for me too! Thanks for the tip!

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with mine Diamond.
When i try to transfer a Divx, so a file like 600 Mb, the trasfer get much slower at 50%, so that the transfer time increase rapidly from 15 minutes to hours. I tried to use even the active sync mode, than the Storage card mode with the same result. I have enought space on my internal storage, and i have had the some result with bouth 1 Gb of free memory and 3,5 Gb of free memory.
Is it an known bug? Is there a solution?
Thanks for your support and congratulation for the forum.
Noone else has this problem?
are you connecting the device to a USB 2.0 port? Because on USB 1.0 i would expect a 600mb file to take hours to copy.
I'm using USB 2.0 port. The problem is that until 50% the time is regular, just some minutes...than it get increased to hours...
The only other thing i can think of then is if you are using Vista by any chance it has been reported it has/had a problem with copying large files (not just with the Diamond, just in general)
Ok...we should have found the problem... I use vista.
So do you know if is there any solution?
I decided against running vista to be honest, but i did a quick search and found some information here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/08/24/slow-file-and-folder-copy-move-transfer-or-delete-operation-speed-problem-in-vista-fix/
You can also read more if you simply type in 'slow copying on vista' into google. This is only a guess at what your problem could be though. I know that using USB 2.0 on XP transfers files for me very quickly (just wish i could get iGO to bloody work though when copied! )
I have a problem any high quality video files, such as DivX. Apparently there is supposed to be a version specific for the Diamond of The Core Media Player, don't know what's happening with it.
Thank for your help gary.bannister.
I have tryied the suggestion written in the website without success...
Thank you anyway.
I only hope it's not a problem of my device because i haven't heard noone else with this problem.
Bye
Ive had this same problem a few times, but ive noticed that if i plug the diamond in another usb slot then i get normal speeds.
Hi,
Recently got my t-mobile version of the diamond2, the Compact V.
I was used to the diamond, which flawlessly functioned as an external disk whenever i connected it to my pc.
When i connect the diamond2 to my pc, i can choose the option 'connect as external disk drive'. From my pc, i see it but cannot access the files (it looks empty). After disconnecting the cable, on the phone the internal storage card is gone... When connected with activesync, i can browse my storage card in my pc explorer. But also; after disconnecting the cable, the storage card is gone !
Only option is to turn my phone off and on, then my storage card magically exists again... How can i solve this? I still have the original T-mobile ROM (1.39.114.2 NLD)
same problem ! The diamond 1 same problem with the internal storage
I wouldn't say it's a problem. It's most probably a protection mechanism to prevent the card from being written from 2 sources.
Then again.. you could call it a limitation from HTC (or maybe microsoft)
It happend only if you choose Disk Drive. If you choose Active Sync, you can access it
This is a completly normal behaviour, and as far as I know, other phones do it this way too (Nokia's for example).
This limitation is not directly related to Microsoft or HTC.
The filesystem can not be 'mounted' to two systems at the same time.
For this reason, the phone will 'eject' the storage and act as a cardreader for the memorycard.
The reason you can access your Storage Card using ActiveSync has a reason. When you are using ActiveSync, the files are send to the phone and the phones writes it to the storage card. This has it's advantages and it's disadvantage.
Advantages:
- Memorycard will always be available for your phone
Disadvantages:
- You need ActiveSync installed on your PC
- Copying files through ActiveSync goes much slower..
The diskdrive option is much faster, cause your pc is directly writing to your memorycard and does not need a driver/software to work.
Is there any way to wirelessly sync files between my G tablet and my home computer?
I use Windows Live Mesh to sync between my Comp and Laptop.
I have about 5 GB of files for work that I would like to update everyday and would prefer to not wait the 30 min or so it takes the computer to copy/replace the files on my tablet.
Thanks for the posts!

Well dropbox is the easiest option but it has a 2 gig restriction
A high end solution get a tonido plug and old usb drive. Put the files on it and you have access to them on any system from anywhere
syncmate for mac
or synctoy2 are both good options
Microsoft SyncToy for windows.
I use adb wireless to connect and use a windows app QtADB that can see the internal storage and external sd card. I use that to sync my internal storage with my computer every once in awhile for backup purposes.
Hello,
When I want to copy data from my laptop to my MI5, it uses the MTP transfer protocol which is very slow and very often I cannot copy big files, the transfer is like frozen and fail !
On my old phone, I was using Mass storage, which was very fast.
Is there a way to go back to this Mass storage transfer ?
If not, what else can I do to speed up the file transfer ?
I am using windows 7 with USB 2 ports.
Thanks in advance
You cannot do anything about it. MTP was always slow.
You can try some sort of wifi file transfer maybe (like es file explorer etc...). That will be much faster.
You cannot use mass storage mode on internal storage, only possible on phones supporting micro SD cards in which mass storage mode will work on that micro SD card only. You can, however, use adb push/pull to upload/download files to/from your device with much better speed, especially if your device is connected via USB. Alternatively, wifi direct such as SuperBeam could also give great speed.
Thanks for your answer, I'm surprised that android force us to use such slow transfer protocol.
I'll try a wifi transfer solution.

Here's a little technical reasoning behind it: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3ff1rm/why_does_everything_use_mtp_these_days_mtp_sucks/
When I connect my note9 to my laptop (windows 10) it automatically gets mounted as Galaxy device. When I enter to Galaxy, it shows 128 Internal storage as flash disk and show all files and folders in it. But copy/paste data (image and others) to/from this location which laptop is extremely slow. 28GB data shows several hours to complete and sometimes it doesn't completed successfully.
I used to get handsets storage directly as flash storage to the windows in my older devices (xperia, oneplus etc.) and data transfer rate was awesome. Now in my Note9, is there any option to get the Internal storage directly as flash disk in windows so that data transfer is as it is flash disk/pendrive.

Are you using the cable your phone came with or a cheap aftermarket cable? Maybe just try another cable. When I plug my phone into my computer (Windows 10), it comes up as Note9 on Windows Explorer, and under that are two folders, one for internal storage and the other for my MicroSD card.
Secondly, do you have a case on your phone? What kind? Reason I'm asking, is because I have a ZeroLemon case, which when you put it on, plugs into the USB Type-C port. Therefore when I plug my phone into my computer, it goes through the case before it goes to the phone. In otherwords, the case may bottleneck (slow down) the transfer speed. I do know that DEX does not work with my case, which makes me think that it also negatively affects transfer speeds, as well.
One other option for file transfer that I've found is to set your phone up as an FTP server, which is actually easier than what you may think. I use an app called File Manager (this one). Basically, you would use this File Manager app to "Start" the FTP server, and then on your computer, you navigate to your phone's FTP Address using Windows Explorer. Once you start the FTP server option, it tells you what URL to visit on your computer, and once you do, you'll see your internal storage. You must be on the same Home Wi-Fi for this to work. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a way to Read/Copy To/From a MicroSD card using this method, as the FTP seems to only let you access your Internal Storage. Just be advised, and I haven't taken the time to confirm this, but if you start your FTP on your own home Network, I suppose it could be visible to any device on your network.
I am also interested in this issue and I want my note9 to be defined as a memory card, as it is VERY CONVENIENT !! JOSHSKORN is
dibil because he did not give the right answer !! please, help!
