File Transfering - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a faster way to transfer files? I downloaded the infamous Kies but that didn't even run after being installed on my PC. When connected it shows up as a tablet and takes EXTREMELY LONG TIME to transfer any to almost all kinds of data. Is there a work around on this?

WiFi is the fastest, I there are a few apps that will handle both paid and free. Also dropbox is excellent for copying files too and from. And you can use the comp. Or es file explorer for ftp and shared devices as well.

You should try AirDroid, work really well. Install app on device and client on pc.

WiFi File Manager

I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.
I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

ToneyEricsson , I cant Estrongs File Manager wifi file manager to work. Does it workn with Windows 7 (just had a new clean install)?
Or perhaps I have some settings not right?
Could you post how you got connected with this program?
Cheers!

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free
Dropbox!
i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.
Websharing is the one for me
LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done

[Q] Transfer mkv files to note?

Hi, I just got my note and when I copy a .mkv file to it, windows explorer crashes. Same thing happens when I try to transfer to micro sd card. Any way around this except having to rename .mkv to .mkvv?
Edit: Video showing problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU14QXjGqTQ
I transfer mkv files all the time.. never had any problems. Have you tried using Samsung Kies?

Tried transfering a 1gb mkv file now with kies but it automatically converts the file to mp4 and takes forever to transfer. Any way to just transfer a mkv file to the note?
Anyone know?
I transfer.mkv files all the time. Never had an issue.
Try android commander if doing a power cycle on your computer doesn't fix it.

How large is the file? You might be going over the 4 GB max file size of FAT32?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Nope if you past the 4GB max filesize of FAT Windows will tell you that it doesn't allow you to transfer. I have a feeling your computer is too slow to buffer large video files. How's your com specs?

Yeah the files are 1-2gb. I have a quad core cpu at 4.6ghz and 6970 crossfireX, so shouldn't be a problem. I made a video showing what happens here:
Might have to watch in 720p to see the letters.

I can transfer .avi and other file formats fine, but mkv just doesnt work for me.
A guess...I reckon it might be due to MTP and the WMP <-> Explorer handler not working for mkv files, i.e. it tries to convert/handle the file and cannot so dies.
Are you on GB? If so, use USB mass transfer mode instead. The speed difference kicks ass.

I think it's the codec installed in windows crashing
It is trying to generate a preview during copy. Try installing latest k-lite codec

It worked fine to transfer mkv files using my laptop now, so its my desktop that's the problem. I installed K-Lite Codec Pack 8.7.8, but still explorer crashes. I also tried different usb ports. I use windows 7 on my desktop and laptop, so weird that I have this problem only on desktop.
Edit: Did a reinstall of windows 7 and that fixed it. Thanks for all the help guys! Really appriciate it.

I installed Android Commander and I did all the Phone and Computer Requirements:
I can start Android Commander, it sees my Galaxy Note Rocket ROM ICS LPY v4 + Speedmod kernel, but I have no root acces. What am I doing wrong?
False external SD-card
For months I've tried to transfer mkv-files (<4gb) to my external card.
I tried to watch mkv-files (>4gb) via USB-stick (NTFS formatted) via OTG using [root] Ntfs Mounter-app. No problem watching it.
I tested my sd-card, it has a storage of 4GB...scammed! Better scammed than a not 100% working Galaxy Note

linux desktop to copy files from/to o4x

Is there anybody using linux pc with o4x? Do you have convenient way to copy files from / to o4x. No matter what USB mode is chosen, it cannot be mount as a mass storage drive. Adb works well, but it is not convenient to push folders.
I'm using fedora 17. In contrast, the mass storage works well in the windows virtual machine with drivers installed.

You can use the MTP mode with some software, but for me it's very slow. For now i've been pushing small files via Google Drive; another option is to use a FTP server on the phone.
Ok. Thanks. I think I will stick to virtual machine wibrows.

Computer doesn't see movie stored in Download folder

For some reason my computer can't see the MKV movie stored in the Download folder of my Nexus 7. I've used 2 different file managers which clearly show that the file is actually there, and I've played it numerous times. Why the movie doesn't show up on my computer is beyond me.
What movie is it???
How did the movie get there???

Open folder options, select show system files and apply.
If this method makes ur pc see files then u need to download attribute changer and change attribute of file from system to non system.
U have connected ur nexus to some virus infected pc and it changed its folder options.

restart the tablet.
Its will be there.
I am not sure the accurate term for it. But the way how android these days works.
Its has to update the index for it to show up. and a lot of times... it does not...
sometimes you see duplicated files from a computer when there is only one.
Restart will re-index it.

app help..

Anyone know the app that can transfer file between phone and laptop without using usb cable???
Bluetooth
Should be possible via Bluetooth..
As Software you can use MyPhoneExplorer
AirDroid, KiesAir, WiFi File Transfer, WifiDroid, ES File Explorer etc :good:
ADB wireless :good:
Copy.com cloud storage works flawlessly for me.
Google Drive is another option. Or just email them to yourself.
