Trying to figure out why when I copy one large 1.5 GB file it takes about 40 minutes, while if I copy it to my older fascinate sdcard takes about 6 minutes.
Is this normal for nexus?
I guess I can try from my work machine tomorrow, just to see if it machine.
Happened to me as well when i was first setting up my files and things .. trying to move all pics and stuff from my OG Droid SD card was taking FOREVER.
don't really know why. ended up sending everything to dropbox, then syncing to the Nexus...
Mainly because it's using MTP and not USB Mass Storage. But it should definitely not take 40 minutes to put a 1.5GB file onto your phone.
I had a terrible time trying to get my computer to recognize the Nexus as being connected at USB 2.0 speeds. All of my USB ports are 2.0 and I was using the stock Samsung cable too. It was just a matter of plugging and unplugging until it liked the connection. As the OP said USB mass storage is way faster. I am not happy with MTP personally.

Hopefully it's just me but I am getting terrible USB transfer speeds. Like less than 1 MByte per second. It's going to take me all day to transfer over my Pics and Movies.. I think it would be faster using FTP over Wi-Fi. Anyone else seeing this?
I am using the same computer and connection that I use with my Droid 3 and the Droid 3's transfer speed is much much faster.
Mine transfers hella slow too. I think it has something to so with it not being actually mounted.

I disconnected and reconnected using a different port on the same computer and now it's more "normal" speeds. Not exactly fast but about the same speed as the Droid 3. Not sure if it was the port or just the disconnect and reconnect that did it.
that is normal for MTP transfer
if you want fast transfer speed, flash CWR and boot into recovery to mount USB
Is anyone else experiencing super SLOW transferring large amounts of files to their phone?
Umm, I guess it depends on what you mean by SUPER SLOW?
It's not instant...if that's what you mean...
I believe that is because the GNex has built in memory. Anytime I tried to transfer data from my Thunderbolt with the card inserted it would be slow. using a connector I was able to transfer ~30GB of data in roughly 1.5-2 hours. The file transfer says to expect 10+ hours to transfer 20GB to my GNex.
Works OK here...

any idea on how long to transfer how much? My transfer speed are horrible. How do you have your phone connected.
My transfer rate is decent but it won't transfer everything . I always end up missing a gig of stuff..odd

Increased transfer speed
I was on another site and saw a suggestion to turn on USB debugging.
I was in the process of transferring a movie (1.24 GB) and the transfer time was about 1 hour for an hour and 45 minute movie. I followed the suggestion and the time dropped to 8 minutes!!!
The actual time was less than 5 to copy to my GNex. Hope this helps...

I've always had my PC tell me to expect a time that was way longer than actual transfer time. I don't think it'll take 10+ hours.
Hi all. I'm running the stock rom, fully updated, on my Sprint GS3, and it's rooted. I bought a 64GB SanDisk microSDXC and formatted it in fat32. Transferring files to it directly from my PC with a USB adaptor gets me ~6MB/s transfer rate, but when transferring files to it through the phone, the speeds are at a crawl. Nearly 500 KB/s.. Is there any way to speed up these transfers? I have an otterbox on the phone and having to pull it out to transfer files everytime just seems like something that can be avoided.. Thanks for the help

Apparently, after looking into it further online, it seems to be related to MTP on this phone... This app seems to solve it for the phone... but I'm unsure if it will work on our Sprint version?

Additionally, do most custom ROMs include UMS abilities...? Or is this not capable? Thanks
Thank you

Because I had the cash to
because I like to carry my tablet alone, not a wire and a usb stick or harddrive so its a ease of convenience factor.
Because I don't want to carry a bunch of extra peripherals and have junk dangling from my tablet.
Because of course no one Will like to have wire hanging out your device and also internal flash is way faster than usb also pendrive sucks huge amount of battery every time you use it
Liked My Suggestion Please Use Thanks Button
Basically what every one else said the price difference is so low why not have the extra onboard storage. I really don't carrying around extra stuff as it is. Its sorta why I refuse to buy a laptop with a DVD drive, because I know I'd end up buying an external one because all my media is not in the cloud, especially the things I do for work.
convenience. Do you really want to have a tail hanging out of the bottom of the device everytime you want to watch a movie?
I think a better question would be, why would you want to carry around extra crap?
Because it'd rather not have to rely on having a usb stick/hard drive plugged in every time I want to watch something

because it was what, 40 dollars more? what a silly question. I have a 16 gig s4 with a 64 gig card. I need space. my old nexus was 32. my HTC dna is only 16 with no card and at every given moment I only have like 700mb free. it's awful.

I wanted the 32gb, but it was out of stock.
Now knowing that usb otg works i have no regrets though - i think it was a better choice actually!
I'm importing this thing so an extra $40 = more like $60, and i never had any space issues with my old 16gb n7.
Also backed the microsd kickstarter, which is very compact and can store my 64gb sandisk with media on it.
It takes like half a min to copy over a movie to internal and you're done.
Also being able to access and manage files without the need to plug my n7 to a PC (when i want to add a movie) is so much easier, just plug in the portable hard drive and play...
There are some really portable otg cables out there, mine is smaller than an average usb drive.
Unused space = wasted space, so no regrets...
I got the 16GB. My 32GB original N7 was never filled past halfway. All my music is on my phone and when I watch something on it, it's usually via netflix. If I really need that space for some reason (long plane ride or something) I can deal with the OTG cable sticking out.

Nandroid backups will add up, especially since this thing has a 1080p screen. Idk how I'd feel about restoring a backup through USB otg.

Personally, since it has no sd card, I played it safe. My music alone would never fill it up, though i have some ~ 3,900 songs.
When I load up game of thrones, it takes some space. I'd use my otg for long trips or if i won't have access for a while.
Also, you can't use otg without an app that will mount it, currently, until its enabled in custom roms.
Indeed, loading up movies & videos for viewing while travelling, it eats up space fast. For an extra $40 seems silly not to opt for the 32gb if one had the availability and choice.

Because USB OTG requires root in order to mount the flash drive and I'd rather be root free.

Moral of the thread
Different strokes for different folks

I am actually a big fan of secure cloud. Netflix and YouTube, Hulu, and other less known sites. I have many devices but I don't think I've gone beyond 8 on any. Just not a prob for me. But I can see where it would be for some. I have like more books on nook than I can readily count, music, games and when it comes to backup's I push to PC, usually wirelessly lol. I find it safer to store on PC plus no room issues. This is a play with device to hold me till the big boys start popping out and I'm frugal. That said I'm coming to like her much more than I thought I would. When this tab gets a few more mods it will really be a beauty.
Like the man said, different strokes.
Well I just found out the turbo 2 doesn't transfer from the device to a USB but it does transfer from the USB to the device. This sucks I need it to work the other way. I hope they fix this with marshmallow or a small update. There is not reason a device should not support this in today's day and age.

I know that this was last posted two months ago but I'm pissed that this function has been turned off by Motorola. I tried multiple otg's and thumb drives. And nothing, doesn't even recognize the otg. Downloaded a app off of play store to run a check on it and it come back like the turbo 2 doesn't support otg. I use it for Movies and transferring files between devices. Has anyone found a fix or at least heard anything from Motorola about it?

Went on Motorola forums and Mark was useless. Told me he would look into it and never got back to me. I did find a work around. Download USB otg file manager for nexus from the play store it works on the turbo 2. only issue is its slower then having it native in the OS. It can take 5 to 10 minutes to transfer a movie depending on size.

It won't work on my phone. I tried that because I already had the app on my nexus. Motorola needs to fix this.

That makes no sense it works on mine and we have the same phone. Maybe it's the USB stick. Is this the app you tried.

Its taken me awhile to get back on here. I work non stop and forget about things. I've tried multiple otg apps and this is what i got the last time. It's ridiculous. My wife has the same phone and it wont work on hers either.
Ok, this is my last post about this. I plugged the otg cored in with a wireless mouse and it worked. I have 4 different brands and sizes of thumb drives and non of them work. It seems like the phone isn't pushing out enough power through the otg cord to read the thumb drives. Any ideas?
Moto X Force here, just plugged my CorsairVoyager Go 64Gb , read and write ok
Did you grand USB Storage permissions ? If not you can read but not write
Just install ES explorer, the first time you'll try to write on the usb storage a permissions pop-up will appear and guide you through to accept sd-card write or usb-storage write
-->
if storage permissions don't work maybe Verizon disabled some OTG functions that are enable in the international version (Moto X Force) (((((((
My Turbo 2 has worked fine with OTG since day one... using a Meenova Dash Micro, shows up under "Storage" in Settings and can be accessed by any app...
Ok, im not going to let this go because it bugs me. I have four flash drives of different brands and sizes. My wife found a 2gb PNY flash drive from about 6 years ago and have it to me yesterday. I said to hell with it and plugged in the otg cable and put the flash drive in. Hell froze over quickly because it worked. It's the only one that has worked so far and I do not understand it because it's old. It's formatted in FAT. The rest of my flash drives are formatted FAT32. Anyone have a clue because I sure don't. I was going to re format my other flash drives but I shouldn't have to because my nexus and my s5 read them just fine.
If you want to copy files without changing time stamp you should use Root Explorer ou ES File Manager, works fine for me
Ok, just for a update... I gave up on this for awhile. I had been trying to use Toshiba, Sandisk and PNY usb 2.0 Flash drives and none of those would work. I had ordered a Sandisk usb 3.0 off of Amazon a few weeks back and i had forgotten that i had gotten it. I found it in my drawer and tried it with the otg cable and it worked. I tried it on my wife's turbo 2 and it worked on hers. So I've found a brand and usb type that will work with my phone so I'll stick with it.

I am using Es file explorer pro and it works with any USB device. From what I can tell you have to grant permission to the file explorer. Not all ask for permission so the transfer fails.

I thought I'd add my experience here. I bought an X Force, and on day one tried a 64Gb SanDisk USB stick. It worked fine, and I started watching a movie. On day 2 I took the Marshmallow OTA, tried the USB stick again (to finish watching the movie) and... no joy. After a bit of research, I believe that this is because the USB stick is formatted as exFAT, and it looks as if Moto dropped support for exFAT in Marshmallow.
I have the Droid Turbo 2, USA Verizon - and the Sandisk USB 3.0 with the dual port. The thumbdrive worked on my Kindle Fire 7", and my buddy's Galaxy Note 5, no problem. It even worked on my kindle fire when formatted to NTFS. It doesn't work on my Droid, with the MicroUSB plug, or when the normal USB 3.0 end is plugged into an OTG cable. However, if I plug the sandisk thumbdrive into a Sabrent USB 3.0 hub, plug that into my OTG cable, and plug that into the Droid Turbo 2, I can read everything just fine.
Then looks like that Turbo doesn't provide enough power to usb device or doesn't provide it at all.
But, I have Oppo portable headphone DAC amplifier HA-2 (and PM-3 headphones, awesome sound) and works out of the box with Force. Even indicate charging if I use generic OTG cable. With Oppo cable, amplifier is not draining any energy from the phone.
I'll try USB stick with Force...
