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.

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.
I'm trying to transfer some movies to the phone. I have managed to connect and both internal and external sd shows up on my computer (mass storage).
The problem is that after a while of transfering, everything freezes and I have to disconnect the phone and restart it. Anybody else with that problem or a solution.
This happens in both XP and Win7.
Not using Kies, however it happened one time with Kies as well.
Need help!!
size, what is the size of the movie
and what is the size of free space on the phone
also make sure it is not larger than 4 GB
and it could be your PC with a crazy USB port like mine, that sometimes just acts up like a girl, and other times works fine
Hello.
I am trying to copy-paste my quite extensive mp3-collection to my Galaxy S. Its about 6GB.
The problem is that I don't want to use Kies as it mucks up all my ID3-Tags...at least it did the first time I tried it.
I just put the phone in Mass Storage mode and tried to copy-paste the Mp3's to the /music folder on the external SD. When I tried to let it copy all together I disconnected the phone properly (safely remove, then disc. from the screen) and let the media scanner run...it didn't find anything. When I connected it to the PC again I saw that the /music folder was empty and the /Lost.dir folder was 6 GB. So the files probably ended up there somehow.
Afterwards I tried copying the folders with my mp3s one by one, disconnecting the phone after every one and letting it search again and again and it worked fine for the first 3 GB...after one more copy paste it lost the new folder and wiped half of the rest which were working fine by then along with it.
I also tried doubletwist and WMP, same problem there.
I'm running Froyo.
Thanks for reading. Any ideas?
When you say you have tried WMP, have you sync'ed them to the card as you would do a mp3 player? It has never failed on me in the past so not sure what else to advise.
Also you may have a corrupt SD card or a fake? Make a backup of the files you have on it at present, then format the card, replace the back'ed up files and try again. There are allot of fake cards sold on ebay and there are some programs about that give diagnostics on cards so might be worth running one to see the genuine capacity and/or to see if there is any corruption.
Yep, I tried syncing as with a normal MP3-Player. Its really weird as it does this only with music and it also does it retroactively...it has lead me to believe that theres some kind of problem with the media scanner.
The card is bought off ebay, but its original Kingston...it was sealed up and everything. I formatted it yesterday just to be sure...didn't bring up any errors...I'll take a look at those programs you mentioned though.
Thanks.
Hmm... If it's only happening with music it might be worth checking to see if there is any DRM on the music files as well. If there is any you'll need to run them through a convertor to remove this.
My music files all AAC+ moved to external SD card .
New Folder on SD card named SONGS and placed all music in that folder via USB mass storage mode .
But all my music is DRM free .

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).
well from day one i always hates MTP as a file management protocol. it lacks so many features and you loose most of your windows right click shell menu. also i find that transferring a lot of files or big files result in the transfer freezing and results in me needing to restart the explorer.exe i know theres a way to mount your external SD as the classic MSC but if you do you cant use your internal memory for the time being. is there some kind of way i can access the internal memory while in MSC?
Well, I turn my phone to Hotspot and connect my pc to it.. Then I use File Manager app to use FTP file sharing through WiFi. So, basically u use WiFi to transfer file from your computer to your Phone (both internal or sdcard) and vice versa. The speed of this connection is around 4MB/s with no Frezee matter and I copied file around 10GB with no problem. Of course, your pc should have WiFi adapter.
Hope That Help
for simplicity sake i dont want to do that, i rather the cable.
