[Q] Filesystem refresh T <-> PC - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

After having dowloaded or created new files on my phone , it can last a long time before I can see them on my PC via USB connection. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix that?

I have seen that, Seems to happen on internal memory, try putting the file on external (Those might be the other way round, its been a while since I have noticed it)
The other thing I have done is disconnect and reboot phone

Yes, I've already tested these solutions, sometimes work sometimes not...

Try using airdroid or wifi file transfer from the market.

I never connect to the PC via USB anymore. The charge you gain is poor compared to A/C.
I purchased wifi file transfer pro and use it every day. You dont have to mount and unmount, then wait for the sdcard to be read. You can throw files back and forth in an instant.:good:
I use airdroid for screenshots but its virtually the same.

Thanks! I'll try that.

I use airdroid and other apps as well. they are good for throwing files but slow in transferring big files via wifi (Like roms etc) but for everyday file transfer these are good.
Dropbox also automatically uploads my pics, and myphonexplorer is also very good

[Q] Force Closes When hooking up to pc

It just started when I was trying to transfer files from my phone to win7.
It does it every time too:
When I connect the phone and the 'USB connection' window pops up, only 2 programs force close, Lookout and Folder Organizer. They do not force close if I connect using PC Mode, Windows Media Sync, or Charge Only. Just with USB Mass Storage, and it is consistent and always only those 2 programs. I took about 5 screenshots of logs while it was happening that I put in a zip if anyone can understand them. I am amazed how much log material there is even for one minute of time...
I am rooted, Eclipse 3. and those 2 programs have been installed for a few days with connections to the pc going without FC's.
Thank you

It's because the apps are running from the scars and when you mount it with windows your phone can't see it anymore
Hi Willis...thank u so much... did you know that from experience or did the logs indicate that?.. I could have sworn those were installed on main phone...odd.. because I have had both those programs for years each time I flash a rom.... I will move them...why didn't all the other apps on the sdcard fc? Just curious. So what lines in the log would indicate a fc. I briefly scanned them but could not fully understand them.

just from experience/problem solving/troubleshooting as well the fact that you mention everything works fine until you mount your sdcard as a mass storage device. Your logs indicated "unknown resources" when launching an app although I do some some dalvik permission errors after that which seems a little off but the resources are unknown/not found because they are removed from your phone when the card is mounted in the computer instead of the phone

[Q] Folders not showing

Good morning,
I got some small problem with my i9000. When I connect to USB i can see only 4-5 folders, and the rest of the folders are not showing. When I try to reach them over my file manager it is working fine I can save the pictures and everything. Only the problem is when connected with USB (or media or kies) I cannot see most of the folders.
my phone is not rooted and i got Froyo 2.2, everything was working fine until like 10-15 days ago.

[Q] MTP extremely slow

Hello,
one thing that really bugs me about the razr i is that it is not a mass medium, but MTP device when you connect it with the PC. I have serious issues with that (7/64bit). I don't know whether it's the driver or MTP itself, but when i connect my razr i to my PC, everything is like in slow motion.
I click "Computer" ... the blue bar in the adress bar starts running at the left side. Even this takes up to 30 seconds sometimes. I click my razr i, give it a bit of time to select SDCard. This is where it gets really funny.
Each time i navigate through the menus, it has to rebuild the index or anything similar to it. It takes 2+ minutes (!!) for every folder to show up. But it's not over yet, when i want to go to music and click this folder, it's the same issue. The connection is so incredible slow, it's faster uploading and redownloading it. A few weeks ago i copied 3gb to the SD card and it took one or two hours.
When i first discovered, how incredible slow the phone is when i want to access the SD card, i tried to put it into a cardreader, but it's somehow encrypted now (i did not encrypt it by myself, i think the razr does it by itself without asking?). Does anyone have similar issues, has a workaround (i could imagine it's because of my PC, not the phone itself)?
Wnna know something funny? I had similar issues, and using the usb ports in the back of my computer solved it. Also, i strongly recommend you to use AirDroid, its insanely fast.

Back ports, same issue. I started to copy a folder to the internal storage 10 minutes ago, so far it had copied 500kb (50 png icons)
I'm downloading airdroid right now. Anyway i hope MTP will work one day as i think wireless is just a workaround .. I could swear for an hour straight, why did they remove the mass medium option that my DHD always had?
I take sd card out every time

MTP just sucks really.
its much worse on my galaxy nexus then on the razr i. But at least on the razr i I can take the sd card out.
Not sure why google went with MTP.
Edit also could be slow as the phone is still reading and writing to the sd card at the same time as the pc.
Slower than on the razr i? 500kb in 10 minutes is ... 830 bytes per second. 830 BYTES!! Even floppies were faster than that!
Thanks for the AirDroid tip, very useful. One drawback is - apart from that it doesn't work with my beloved opera - it also tells me in chrome that it can't upload folders. So i have to create them manually.. Works fine anyway and it's enough for my needs. Thank you, you made copying to the razr i almost enjoyable!
That is a lot slower then it should be what OS are you running?

Win7 x64. I already reinstalled the moto drivers.
I think that my old mainboard (Gigabyte P35-DS3P) could be the cause .. Although my windows install is pretty old and doesn't run that well anymore. I think i'll format my system soon, maybe it's gone after that.

What's the best way to copy HUGE amount of data to the 3T?

I received my OnePlus 3T today in the afternoon. So far I'm pretty impressed by the device. It's definitely a killer deal for 400-ish euros..
As the title says, I need to copy some 20 Gb-ish data (photos from the last 3 smartphones, voice recordings etc.) to the 3T. Since it doesn't have a SD card slot, the only way i know is to copy the data through a USB cable, with the smartphone turned on and set in MTP mode.
But the speed in MTP mode is pretty slow... Will need about 2-3 hours for those photos.
Can anyone suggest a better way to accomplish this "simple" task?

If nothing else, set it off before you go to sleep. The thing I noticed as being pretty fast (or the fastest) is to a) make sure to compress anything you can out of those photo's unless their particular format is already too highly compressed and zip em together, b) if you have a USB<->OTG adapter or cable and a 32 G or so USB stick, use that in conjunction with some file explorer app (like root explorer) and just do the copy. Read speeds from OTG are good, and write speeds to the filesystem aboard the OP are good, so you're headed in the best direction.
If you don't have those few things (otg cable or adapter and a stick), then you could get them from Amazon or anywhere for about 10 -> 20 bucks.
If you don't want to futz with the cables, then just use adb to push the files to your target. Most protocols seem faster than MTP to me. Good luck.
Airdroid could do it using your wireless network.
I sent most my files over WiFi using send anywhere, which is only capped by your local routers maximum output. In my case 1300AC.

Thanks for offering so many choices!
I thought as much about fastboot. But since the files will be in tens of different folders and I don't know if fastboot can push multiple files / whole folders. Searched online but found nothing.
Maybe I'll just put it there while working on the setup.

Actually, it'd have to be adb, not fastboot. Fastboot won't do what you want. Cheers.

Yeah it's a free app it is great for phone to phone but tested it yesterday on my PC to move mostly music worked a treat.

I am using portal (developed by pushbullet devs) Download the app to ur phone and open the page on PC. Make a connection between both by making a scan of the qr code and then just simple drag and drop in the browser to send it. For me faster then adb or Air Droid.

Thanks for mentioning that. I really like that app. I just tried it and both ways, (OP to PC and PC -> OP) seemed pretty amazingly quick for WIFI). The Portal one is fine for the one direction, but I don't see the other way (to PC).
best fastest way to copy huge amount of data to op3t
filezilla on pc & wifi transfer app on phone at the very least 1 gig a minute
I used ADB to copy about 25GB of data. Did not compare speed difference between Wi-Fi though (transferred ~10GB of data). MTP has been a pain in the ass, so I have stopped using it.

File transfer does not work (keeps falling back to "USB for charging" always)

Hi,
as the title suggests for a very long time (>1 month) my file transfer does not work.
The only way I can transfer files from PC to the phone is reboot into recovery (TWRP) and there it works normally, but it's a pain in the a...rm.
I've also tried different ROMs with the same effect, although I remember it did work very briefly for one boot cycle before I finished setting everything up and now it doesn't work again.
My suspicion is that some hidden setting that I'm not aware of is in conflict with the file transfer feature. Or maybe Xiaomi doesn't like it when you deny Mi Cloud permissions etc. and that's the way they get back at you, IDK!
Nobody else experiences this? Cause I didn't find too many complaints about this in the forum.
Happy new year and a very good and successful start into 2020, everyone.
If you not sure what cause the problem, just switch to another rom or do a hard reset.

First, do you have the correct drivers installed on your PC to identify your device?
Second, you can always turn on USB Debugging and see if that allows you to use FTP.
Third, if you have turned on USB Debugging, you can use adb push.
If I wanted to transfer Roblox to my phone, I would do this
adb push C:\Users\SenseiCheekClapper\Downloads\Roblox.apk /sdcard
To make it a hell of a lot easier, just type adb push, drag the file into the terminal and it will autofill the file location, and then type /sdcard.

When I have had this problem it has always turned out to be the USB-cable that was the culprit. This phone is very picky when it comes to cable, both for file transfer and Android Auto, at least for me! The original cable doesn't always work all the time for me, but a good quality cable of another brand always works for me.
