I just coverted a dvd film to divx format and tried copying it to the diamond's internal storage. However, the transfer was taking forever and the transfer progress bar never went above two bars - in fact, it repeatedly got to two bars then started again.
Anyone know what the problem is here? Should I compress the file first?
Are you sure you have enough space on your device to fit the film on there?
Yeah, i'm putting it on the 4gb internal memory - nothing much is currently on there...
use it as a drive not active sync
Yes, active sync is not faster as the usb drive function, however its transfer window is blocked, but the transfer goes on (the transfer bar hang, but will disappear when the transfer is completed).
With USB drive mode, no problems at all.
Thanks guys, it was active sync that was the problem!
All sorted now.

hey guys,
ever since i got my tilt, data transfer over USB has been painfully slow. for example, a 900 mb tomtom map took over 2 hours to transfer. I tried taking the SD card out and putting it into my laptop. everything transferred in less than a minute, but as soon as i put the SD card back into my tilt, it turned out it was corrupted. i tried searching for a solution to this issue, but couldn't find anything.
halp
you say ever since you got your tilt does that mean that you had other and faster transfers on other pda's because in my exp thats the case with all wm devices
no, this is my first WM phone, and first PDA ever (i had an i870 before)
activesync is slow period, i use a mediacard reader,i highly recommend a storage card and is SDHC and a compatible card reader for your laptop/desktop,can also find cards on ebay with usb readers instead of card readers so you can just plug the card into the usb stick and away you go
unfortunately that's how the USB plug works on these phones. It's USB 1.1 only.
it's not just a usb1.1 issue as usb1.1 should be able to do 12MB/sec which is far from what happens in reallife
To give you an idea, I just did a quick and dirty test of the different transfer times.
RAR: 41.7 MB
Using Activesync:
- Copy to internal memory => 01:05
- Copy to SD Card => 01:20
Using Card Export:
- Copy to SD Card => 00:51 (mean transfer rate: 850 KB/sec)
Using USB Card Reader =>
- Copy to SD Card => 00:04 (mean transfer rate: 12500 KB/sec)
Conclusion: Always use an external card reader for transfering (large) files.
Tytn II has usb 2. Why the speed is so lame then?
The Kaiser is my first device, so I don't have any other devices to compare to. But in a large degree I have noticed the same for other mobile devices (like cameras, mp3-players,...)
It has to do with some factors:
- What app is used to transfer the data?
Working through Activesync to transfer data clearly works slower. That's because AS works as just another layer controlling the data transfer, thereby slowing the process. When you use Card Export, only the regular explorer.exe process is used for tranferring the data.
- Chipset limitations:
It might be that the Qualcomm chipset has a slow MicroSD and USB controller. Manufacturers also have to choose between better battery life or more speed. Mostly better battery life is chose, thereby bringing down the speed.
My old Dell Axim x50v used to sync calendar/appt within 5 secs. But my tilt takes atleast 1 min everytime to sync calender/appt. It takes that long before the sync icon stops spinning and states connected. Do you guys have the same problem?
btw, transfer speeds for data are the same between the two pdas. its just the sync time.
It is always painfully slow to transfer files with activesync, not just the Kaiser but with all PPCs. As far as sync with outlook that is really poor with WM6 and Activesync 4.5. I think I read somewhere the reason is that activesync runs very in depth checks on changes and date comparisons resultuing in long sync times.
my main problem is not that the tilt is soo slow, but why is my sd card getting corrupted EVERY time i put it in my computer? when i copy a decent size file, all the other files are fine, but that one explodes its size like 10x and takes up 90% of the card. my only option is to format every time
weakest link set the pace
if usb2 is supported then there most be a bottleneck
elsewhere
it imho seem to have been an issue with every pda ever
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.
For some reason everytime I try to transfer tv shows or movies to the phone, both internal or external memory, it won't transfer and says that the windows explorer has stopped working. Every single time this happens no matter how many times i try. And it only happens for some files. Other files will transfer perfectly no matter the size of the files.
Another issue is that when I do transfer the files, even though I have used some space it will still say that the space is the same as before.
I'm on windows 7 64 bit.
Any ideas how to fix?
weird problem your having... how big in size are these tv shows ?? do you have an external sd card... if so plug that in to the pc and copy them to that, then back in the phone and move to phone memory or leave on the external card...
or you can just stream them from your pc, using built in 'allshare' app or a range of others found on the market
Each show is about 150-175 mb. The issue is that some shows will completely transfer without any problems. I've transfered 4 GB altogether at once but other shows won't do it. But then other shows will not even start transfer but immediately say that windows explorer has stopped working. I've tried transferring to both external and internal but they both give me the same problem.
This also only seems to be an issue with videos as I've never had any trouble with music.
No roots, lagfix, nothing, just stock 2.2.1
Sounds more like a problem with your computer. Try copying the shows that give you trouble to a memory stick or something to test.
A while ago after transfering some files to/from my PC via USB mass storage mode I unplugged the USB cable without doing a Safe Disconnect on the PC. Immediately after this, the processor (or something in the lower right corner) on my Droid 3 started overheating and draining the battery very quickly, as if I was running some very pretentious 3D game or something.
I found some discussions on the Net that lead me to look under Settings / Applications / Battery use to find that an application called "Media" was overusing the processor and causing the overheating and drainage, so I force-stopped that one and the problem went away.
But now every time I connect the phone to a PC in USB mass storage mode, I get the same problem and after I'm done transfering files I have to force-stop the "Media" application. (This is even if I use Safe Disconnect or whatever it's called on the PC.)
I've seen some other suggestion today that I should try the same operations with the SD card pulled out, but the same thing happens even in the absence of the SD card.
Does someone know how I can reset/reinstall the "Media" application or service that handles USB mass storage mode without resetting the whole thing to factory settings or reinstalling the whole Minimoto image?
Boy, I think I remember reading somewhere that this might happen if you have a media file that is malformed. In other words, the media app scans all available storage for media files to put in the gallery (or something like that) and gets hung up when it encounters a media file that has errors in it.
I'm not sure about that, but it might be worth copying to PC and then removing all photo, music and video files from internal storage and the SD card and then see if that still happens. Then look at the files on the computer to make sure that they are good before you put them back on the phone.
My only issue with this theory is that I recall it was an issue with phones that updated from Gingerbread to ICS a few years ago, so maybe that has nothing to do with what you are seeing...
Thanks for the suggestion, it pointed me in the right direction.
I didn't like the idea of a simple copy operation solving a corrupt file problem, so I started looking for ways to run a chkdsk/fsck on my internal drive (since taking out the SD card hadn't eliminated the problem earlier, I assumed something was wrong on the internal drive). All the solutions I found for this involved using ADB and rebooting into some "recovery mode" and that too seemed like too much hassle, so I insisted on searching for some app that could do at least some limited filesystem checks that maybe wouldn't involve unmounting the system drive.
In the end I found something called "AParted", an ad-supported free partition manager that looks like it wants to be the Android homologue of GNOME's GParted, KDE's KParted etc. Of course, while running AParted from the system drive I couldn't perform any operations on the system drive itself, so I said "what the heck" and just ran a Repair operation on the SD card, which was the only one I could unmount in that situation.
Lo and behold, the problem seems fixed now and I'm not getting any more overheating and battery drainage after connecting my Droid to the PC in USB Mass Storage mode (tested with two PCs running Ubuntu and Windows 7).
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!
