hey there.....trying to sync music from my WMP10 to my PDA (qtek 9090) and it takes FOREVER!!!!! Does anyone have suggetions on how to to speed this process up. Tried sync from WMP 10 to pda........and tried to copy media files directly to PDA (without WMP10)......both options just take forever. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
have decided to copy music files directly to the storage card with a card reader. Not very practical but so far proves to be the fastest way??????
THANKS!!!
McAfee active Virus Scan hates activesync. It slows down sending anything to/from the PDA loads. If you have McAfee or similar, make sure to disable virus scan before file transfer.
USB will never be as fast as storage card sending anyway and is poor at the best of times.
Hey, this is my first post, but i've been looking around here a lot recently and have learned quite a bit. I have a question regarding my SDHC card on my phone.
So well I flashed Rose's Rom 1.6 on to my dash and implemented Windows Mobile 6.1 in order to try and get my 4gb SDHC card working on it. After doing this and going through several drivers, the card still was not recognized. Help?

Is your card formatted to the FAT32...
the card wont be read by my phone or my laptop so i cant configure it
I suggest getting a SDHC reader for your laptop then. Always good to have anyway. I find it faster to copy files through a reader then through syncing anyway. I have a 4gb in my Dash
it is possible the card is no good , have a friend try and read / write to it ?
having several devices ( htc-621 , asus Eee pc , 2 camera's , generic mp3 player ) that use the sd/hc format , and a ( small ) handfull of cards from 1 to 8 gig ,
i agree that a usb sd/hc reader and adapters for micro sd is the way to go .
makes it uber-easy to load / share photo's , music , movies etc.
i dont seem to see a huge speed difference transfering files via sync or through the usb adapter . ( could just be my pc ? )

Na there isnt much of a speed difference transferring files through sync or through usb adapter...
What brand is the card? I have heard that sometimes certain brands are not compatible.

I have to disagree there is a massive ammount of difference on data transfer speed, try copying a full album via async can take 4-5 mins card reader 20-30 secs at the most... The other problem with async transfer is there is a top out on the size of data you can transfer in one file off the top of my head can't mem the exact ammount.

Try transferring a big file through ActiveSync (something like a map for navigation software) and you'll notice a HUGE speed difference, activesync being much slower

According to engadget there is only a limited USB mass storage support (only media / picture transfer protocols are available).
Can some confirm this and check if full USB mass storage is available when USB debugging is turned on?

Can we still access anything from it then using a file manager like I can only the SGS2?
you will not see/feel the difference. Don't worry.
Here is my question, considering the lack of SD card on this thing, can I put my movies on an external SD card (or even a hdd, but whod want to tote one around?!) and then plug a reader into this thing using a USB OTG cable and then watch them on the phone? Just a thought. I need more storage than 32 GB... I've got 16GB of music alone...

Putting the USB connection in this mode using the notification drawer makes it go back to acting like normal:

Here is more info regarding USB mass storage. it does not support UMS (because the phone does not have a SD slot) but support MTS.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'm kinda curious how we are meant to transfer files that are not the general media files. The only thing that I really am thinking of is transferring/synchronising my ROM backups from ROM manager (when I root the Nexus I have yet to recieve).
Any ideas?

The PTP option in the image I linked above acts like the file transfer mode you're after.
Has already been answered. PTP mode instead of MTP.
I guess I'm not understanding something because I thought PTP was for photos (originally used by cameras) and not for other filetypes.
So PTP will just transfer files as a UMS into the fake /sdcard directory (reading the interview)?
Yeeeeeeeesssssss. We told you no need to re-ask. answer will stay the same.

Sorry sorry sorry. Thanks for clearing that up. I will proceed to the dunce corner for 15mins!
Even in PTP mode mine still behaves like a media device rather than a storage device. I don't get a proper file copy dialogue and it still warns me that I might not be able to play files on my device as I copy them which I think will get VERY annoying over time. The only difference I can see in PTP mode is that it looks like a camera in 'Computer' rather than an MP3 player.
So can I copy for example .apk files to my phone?
I think it is a very interesting question. I see that you have written in some comments, that if you enable the PTP mode, you can copy files from computer to the Nexus. Can you copy everything, and not only pictures, videos, or songs? Can we copy for example .apk files too? Or it isn't allowed?

you can copy anything to it, but it isn't treated as a drive, for example when copying *.mkv's to it a warning comes up stating that the device might not be able to play it and you have to press yes to continue. Copy dialogues are also dumbed down and don't show as accurate progress.
Thanks!

So basically every time you copy non media files, that warning msg will pop up and you have to press yes every time? That could be annoying..

Do you really listen to all 16GB's worth of music that you have every day?
Seriously people. You don't need all of your music library on your phone. Keep the songs you like and listen to the most, and you can always stream any oddballs from Google Music or Amazon MP3 via the data you pay for or wifi.
Just my 2 cents
Why did they remove drive letter access and cripple the phone with this MTP crap?
It took me 30 seconds to copy my pictures from my Droid Incredible via drive letter, and now it's taking upwards of 20 minutes to copy them over to the Nexus.
This is completely absurd...

Copying a files to/from my Galaxy Nexus takes no time at all. Much faster file transfer than on my previous phone and USB drive. Have you tried removing the driver and installing the naked samsung drivers?

And yet I'm having the exact opposite experience; on both a desktop PC and MacBook Pro with Android File Transfer, the performance of the Galaxy Nexus' filesystem has been miles ahead of the 8GB Class 10 MicroSD card I had in my previous device.

I can't get the android file transfer to work on my mac. I download the dmg file and drag to applications, but it stil doesn't read my device. Am I doing something wrong? Can you shd some light for me?
And here comes the flood of "im not happy" threads.
You should have known it was MTP before you purchased it. Not trying to start an e-flame but just sayin'.
My connection always messes up, all my music got deleted last night. I'm having trouble copying music over. I'm ditching the stock ROM asap, hopefully one of the custom ROMs has mass storage.
I have to agree, I've hated MTP since the WinXP days when I first hooked up a camera directly. Had tons of corrupted files during transfers so I switched to taking out the memory cards and accessing them with USB readers.
Even now with the nexus I have trouble with files not even showing up properly in explorer but are clearly there when I use a file manager on the phone itself.
I copied a 500mb film from my pc to my phone in no-time. Must be your pc that causes the problem.

I'm not sure why everybody needs to install stuff. I plugged the phone into my MBP and it popped up the contents. Plugged it into my W7 gaming machine and it popped up the contents.
Transfer times were the same, or faster, as they are on my Galaxy S II and Rezound.
Then again, unless it's more than 3-5 files I just use WiFi File Explorer. Fantastic way to transfer files to/from. Definitely worth the $.99 for the full version (demo only allows downloading *from* phone, not uploading to).
It's a trade-off. This way we can use the entire storage space. Just one big partition where all your apps and app data go. No more "internal storage" vs "external storage."
Mtp is very slow and makes windows crash.

Maybe on your PC.
Everything works fine here with MTP, even better than Mass Storage before...
I love whatever they did. On my Thunderbolt, it would take a long time to copy files, but with the GN, it's as fast as anything! Not to mention I don't have to screw with turning on the phone, turning on USB, doing my work, turning the phone on, turning off USB, etc.
It's always on, available, and awesome!
I find that I have a lot better luck with my windows 7 machine than I do with my Vista machine.

I'm having better luck with the good 'ol console.
adb push has been outperforming MTP for me.
So does MTP mean there's nothing to "eject" and you just pull the plug out of the phone?
Not on my PC it doesn't.

Yes there's no "eject" at all, because the system isn't actually mounted like it is in USB mass storage. Meaning you can still interact with the files on your phone when you're transferring to/from the phone.
I just transferred a 5.00GB mkv file in 16 minutes. That's roughly 5.2MB/sec. *Shrug*.
I'd prefer USB Mass Storage...
Anyone else notice that the pc's volume goes down when the device is unplugged?
I have Pandora playing on Win7 and unplugging the phone causes the volume for Pandora to drop. This is noticeable in the Volume Mixer.
I can no longer transfer mp3 files from my Windows computer to my P6P. I have moved plenty of music to internal storage, but now can no longer get anything over. Only the album folder shows up, but no contents. I believe I am doing everything correct with the USB cable, connecting and then selecting file transfer. This is a new development. Any suggestions? Very frustrated.

Yes, I see the Pixel internal storage in file manager, and all the music folders already there. Now when I try to transfer an album the new folder shows up but none of the mp3 files. Even when I then try to transfer the files individually

Question, are you transferring then unplugging to check if they transferred? Sometimes windows and android have a hard time communicating...this is jokingly called the "middle school dance" where both see each other but both don't make the first move to update what has been done.
Sometimes I transfer stuff but windows explorer never updates what has actually transferred.
Absolutely what @Gytole said. And it's not just Windows' built-in File Explorer. Other programs like GPSoftware's Directory Opus also have the same problem with views of the phone's storage across MTP.
@gmfeld Have you checked on the phone itself if you can see the files that you think you copied recently?
Try rebooting - both the phone and the computer?
Yes I checked my phone after unplugging. Weird, the last time I tried 4 files transferred out of 20. I rebooted my phone I will try rebooting my computer
I've rebooted my phone and computer and have tried every way I can think of. Four out of 20 files were transferred to my phone internal storage and I cannot get the rest of the mp3 files of the same album to copy over. This must be new to me with the latest update.

I'll set a reminder for myself tomorrow to do some tests on my own Pixel 6 Pro. I've previously copied several hundred gigabytes of FLAC and MP3 files to my P6P, but that was many months ago.

Thanks. I also already have a lot on there, this is something new for me.
I've loaded mp3s on mine (through musicbee sync) on mays firmware so i don't think it's tied to that. Are you on May or one of the betas (june's or 13)
I also transfered boot to downloads via explorer but that was on april
I'm almost willing to bet it's a driver issue. Windows is NOTORIOUS for "Hey! I see you're working but let's go ahead and install a different driver cause I want to piss you off."
Legit happened to me after I updated Evo to version 3 yesterday. I went into the bootloader, updated the rom, and when I went to copy over the boot.img there was no "Picel 6 pro" in explorer...I had to open device manager and choose the middle MTP driver from the "choose from list" to get it to see my P6P again makes me wanna freakin hit a baby sometimes.

I was about to do the test, but was having some problems with MTP seeing the contents of a very deep folder structure of some of my FLAC files (which already exist on my P6P's internal storage), and then I remembered that actually, when I copy large amounts of and/or large sizes of files, I do so through an intermediary - usually a MicroSD card through a simple non-powered USB-C hub (using X-Plore File Manager).
Now that I've reminded myself of that, I don't even want to attempt to do the same kind of thing through MTP. It's painful and actually takes longer than copying to a MicroSD card first. Figures, eh?
Maybe ADB pull command works better.
Edit. adb push
I just was about to test Xender - Share Music Transfer, but connecting wirelessly to a PC requires enabling a hotspot on the phone and connecting the PC to the hotspot. Still worth testing, but I'll have to do that from a PC that my constant internet connection isn't critical on - so sometime later when I have time to do that.
This seems to be more common when the stock USB C to USB C cable that was included with the phone is not used. Granted, very few people have a USB C port on their computer right now, haha.
Anyway, I would have issues making 60GB video file transfers onto my phone - not because the phone wasn't showing up - but because the file transfer process would just randomly close explorer.exe on Windows after transferring a few files. Once I started using the stock USB C to C cable, this issue stopped occuring (and the transfers were much faster).
But, of course, if Windows isn't even detecting your phone you may have to install the Google Pixel USB driver (and also be sure to enable file transfer on your phone when you connect it to the computer).
So it's not an issue with my phone, as I'm able to transfer mp3 files from my work Windows computer to my P6P using a stock (non-Google) cable. Could it be some setting on my home Windows computer?

It's a driver issue on your computer. Remove the driver (uninstall it from device manager), restart computer and let it reinstall.
Don't install Google USB drivers since that's for USB debugging/fastboot. Let windows install the driver by itself.
If that doesn't work, there was a post someone made recently that shows how to reinstall the default windows driver, here.
Use Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, last FM, Pandora, YouTube music, apple music, etc etc
Mp3 files usually are ilegal

I think you mean usually illegal, which is of course nonsense. I only use local file and get them from amazon (and formerly emusic). I hate streaming because the ads (though youtube music inserts those in local file too) and data required
