Currently stock with the exception of unlocked/rooted. Win 7, 64 bit.
For whatever reason my phone just does not like to transfer pictures or videos from my desktop to the internal memory. I highlighted 30+ pics from a desktop folder and pasted into the pictures and dcim folder on separate occasions and it does about 9-10 of them then freezes. I cancel the window and the GNEX is frozen "loading." Most of the time i cant open it in Computer either. It does the same thing with a video to the root of the memory.
I've tried in smaller batches, 1 at a time, nothing makes a difference.
I was able to transfer 30+ songs to the music folder without a hitch though.
Ideas?
Try reinstalling the drivers?
Try different drivers. I'm using the ones that come with pdanet. I've uninstalled pdanet but the drivers stay loaded. Works great for me. Win 7 64 bit is fast.
My Linux distro running in a VM is slow. Actually I should say it's fast but has a lot of prep time. Will spend 90 seconds "preparing" and very few transferring. That is something I have to work on.

Trying now..
So it definitely was NOT a driver issue. Uninstalled and reinstalled every way possible and it did not make a difference. I ended up using adb and pushing all the stock files to the phone again and its working great now.

There really isn't enough info on this. It was driving me nuts so I spent a long time googling and eventually learned that this is a known issue with ICS's implementation of the MTP protocol.
It has been fixed in 4.0.3. So make that upgrade and this problem will go away forever.
or switch to airdroid.
Does anyone else have issues when trying to download pictures from your phone? It seems ungodly slow and since it now uses MTP, I can't pull pictures straight into Picasa. Any thoughts or ideas on what I could do to fix or enhance it?

No, I don't really have any ideas on how to enhance it but I don't have this problem either? What rom are you using? Are you Rooted/Unlocked?
I guess it wasn't so slow to transfer, 1.3gb over about 10 minutes (give or take). I think what really gets me is that it takes a few minutes for my picture directory to fully realize on my desktop, several minutes for the 1k+ files to be listed properly and then I have to copy them over to my PC since I can't mount my phone as a usb drive anymore.
On Lifeless v14 right now.

Trying to pull everything off my internal SD from my t999 to place into my t999L, and if I attempt to copy more than one folder, I see a never ending "calculating time required to copy". Ive tried 2 different computers running win7 32bit. One was just recently reformatted too.... Drivers are installed because I just flashed twrp to my t999L

It's fussy, that's for sure. The particular driver you are using could make a difference. I don't use MTP much because it's more trouble than it's worth, but the drivers in my signature were working alright, the first link.
I just use FTP now (FTPDroidPro+FileZilla). Never any problems. The only time I would want MTP is for copying several GB of data. But since I back up often (and upload pictures to Dropbox), this situation rarely happens.

That's just it though, I'm attempting to pull about 10gb worth of data. I'll try your drivers, the 1.5 one. I will report back. those apps though, are they both for android or are they windows applications?

FTPDroidPro is the FTP server that sits on the phone. Do not remember if there is a free version, but probably, since, well.... Pro. FileZilla is the client and I think it's open source. Either way, it's free.
My router is terrible, and I can still transfer 4MB/s. With a nice router, I'm sure it's faster than USB 2.0. FTPDroidPro also has support for root access. That is incredibly useful.

The only thing I can think of is that this is either a 4.2.2 issue or related to Vanilla Rootbox exclusively. Just tried your driver and still the same issue. Guess I have no other choice is to try your app combo and see what happens. This is most frustrating, as my music and pictures are stuck on my old sgs3 and would rather not live without them
In case there isn't a free version of Aerowinders, this is what I use, and it does have a free counterpart if you just want to try it our way.

If you need any help setting up, let me know.
There's probably nothing wrong with your phone or the computer. I've had tons of issues, too. One more thing you could try would be to make sure those drivers are fully uninstalled (through device manager also), and install the old 1.4.6.0 ones. These old ones probably won't work with your LTE version, though. Just another thought. I personally think FTPing is the better solution. It's faster than digging out the cable, for me.

Never had an issue with MTP until today. Honestly I kinda grew to like it more than the old UMS method, as the phone was still usable. Just installed ftpdroid and filezilla now, trying to see if I can get this working, let alone access the internal storage.
Alright, so far, I will give this a 4 out of 5 stars. only 4 because I'm not quite familliar with the interface and it is pretty intimidating. I do however LOVE that I can simply resume the transfer process should my phone reboots, which it did, so I don't have to start all over. Pretty sexy.
If you have some kind of guide or easy way of explaining this, I'd love to see/hear it. appears it's about 2.5mb/s, which is the average speed of my data plan for my ISP, so Idk if it goes off the router or my upload/download speed limit.
@DocHoliday77, I will look into your method, but if you could explain it a bit to me that would be great. I know little to nothing about FTP.
Super simple. Make sure you're on wifi.
Open the app and start the server.
Open Explorer on your computer and in the address/path bar enter exactly what it says in the app.
Ftp://192.168.x.x:2121
Enter pw.
That's it.

You could also transfer the files to a MicroSD Card or USB Thumbdrive (via OTG) and then do the same on the new phone.

OTG is USB On-The-Go, aka USB Host mode. You can plug in USB devices into your phone and use them directly. I was suggesting to plug a a thumbdrive into your OTG cable into your phone and copy the files to it using ES File Explorer or similar.
Ah ok I think I understand. Well I tried the ftp method yesterday and pretty sure I pulled everything I needed off of it. Slowly migrating to the new device. Don't need orphan data and such.
Using mtp on the new device seems to work well, though haven't tried to pull anything off it, just push. Will test later tonight. Perhaps getting this refurb'd device was smart in the long run besides just LTE? Funny how things work...

Ok guys. I'm about to loose my Damn mind. I probably have 5 hours invested into this simple task and haven't succeeded. All I want to do is back up all my files and can't get it to work. When I try to transfer everything I either get stuck with a window saying it is calculating time to transfer, get a few folders to transfer but none of their contents and have it just stop, or I get some folders and not contents with any number of different errors saying the files aren't in the right format (don't remember the other 4 messages I got. I tried 3 cables and every USB port on my desktop all with the same results. I then tried copying everything over wifi via airdroid. I got it going and left it for a hour or 2 and it said it finished. However the zip file it downloaded was only 4.9gb instead of 7.3gb (how much stuff I have on my phone) so I figured it just compressed it. I tried to unzip it, and just my luck, I get an error saying it can't unzip it and I can't even open it just to view the contents. I'm about to loose my mind. Anyone got any suggestions to help me out?

I've observed that when I've got my phone connected to my PC via USB that my PC won't load the file structure unless I unlock the phone. Usually, once it's been unlocked while connected, everything works fine; However, sometimes I find that the phone's gone back to sleep and the data transfer stalls out after the phone's lockscreen kicks back in. You might try disabling your lockscreen and see if that has any effect for you, but I really have no idea if it will help. Good luck.
Yeah I tried that stuff too :/ I disabled my pattern lock, tried disabling and re-enabling USB debugging, made it so my wifi never sleeps, made it so my phone doesn't sleep when charging, disabled my live wallpaper. Nada, still got zilch

It sounds like you're just trying to transfer too much at one time. Have you tried transferring just one folder? If it works when you transfer just one folder over, you can transfer a couple at a time instead of all of it at once. Good luck

Can anybody try to copy a file from computer to your phone/SD card through wifi and let me know if you're having extremely slow speeds? I used ES File Explorer to test.
I get under 800kbps when I do the transfer, both computer and phone on the same network.
I tested with my note 4 and s6 at the same location. Both got over 10mbps, so it can't be my router. It is connected to 5ghz AC network.
My speed test for outside of network is great though, gets my advertised speed over 50/50 downlink/up link...

LOL I was in the same situation as you when I got my note 4! I started checking out a bunch of explorers in Google Play and came across Solid Explorer. It managed to do around 4-5 MB/s, that was really fast compared to what I got using ES file explorer (my favorite back then). Turns out Solid explorer is quite reach in features, especially using shares, be it smb, http, gdrive, etc).
Now a few days back, using my Note 7, still getting these speeds of 4MB/s on wifi using SMB in Solid explorer, I wanted more, since I know the wifi in Note 7 (and Note 4 for that matter) is good, getting close to 40MB/s in downloads using wifi, wondered why the heck SMB is so slow compared to HTTP protocol. I set up a webdav share using IIS on my intel NUC wired to the wireless router, and .. BAM!!! constant speeds of 40MB/s in Solid explorer. So, yeah.. if you use shares a lot in your home, use http protocol (webdav gives you also write permission I guess). Haven't tested ftp yet.. but now I don't have a reason to
So.. if you are ok with 4MB/s use Solid explorer or some other app out there, just test them!
If you want to go further and you have a good wifi router and a PC, use http. I used IIS on windows 8.1
Hope it helps!
Cheers!!

Thanks! I'll try a different explorer. Doesn't make sense that the other phones can get faster Lan transfer speeds at the same location though..

I was going to make the exact same post. I noticed the slow transfer speed last night when i try to stream videos from my network hard drive and I couldn't watch any, none of my videos played smoothly. So i tried to copy files to my phone, the speed was under 1Mbps, this was done by ES file explorer. Then i switched to Total Commander, it gave me about the same transfer speed. I noticed the connection speed under Signal Strength on Note 7 is only 260Mbps, while my other devices (Tab S, Mac Mini) show 867Mbps. However, the internet download speed is perfectly normal (tested by downloading app from google play store).
Here are things I tried but no improvement.
Turn wifi off and then on
Reboot the router
Restart Note 7
Reboot network harddrive
Forget and reconnect to SSID
Change to 2.4G SSID (Connection Speed is only 86Mbps)
Reset network settings
Wipe cache partition
Factory reset
Even factory reset won't solve this problem, the link speed is capped at 390Mbps.
Does anyone have solutions to this issue?

Same here.. I am actually using a the ac66u AND the N66... i wonder if its an issue with the routers..
I just tested the same file to my tab s2, and it was at 11mb + Def an issue with either the phone or the routers..
Have you done a full reset on the phone then tried again?
tested on my ol g2(surprisingly still a fast ass phone) was gettin 6 MB transfers..
So, either an issue with the note 7 hardware or issue with the asus router.

The only other questions I have are..
Did you use smart switch to move all your stuff over to your new phone?
Have you tried a full reset/wipe and then only downloading es file explorer and seeing if it fixes it? EDIT - NM Read your earlier post =D

Main reason I dont think its the router is because like I said above, the tab s2 transfers at 11mb and the old lg g2 was at 6mb... same file on the note 7, 400-600kb.
I then tested by plugging in my nas into a new netgear N gigabit router I had around, connected my phone to the wifi(new netgear).. same speeds above.. Cant be router related..
Might be in luck if your pat the 14 day window since Samsung announced a global recall.
I have a Asus RT-AC5300 router with the latest firmware using Tri-Band smart connect setup, where the 2.4ghz, 5ghz(1), 5ghz(2) all use the same ssid, and the router the load balancing between all three radios. I also have setup up MU-MIMO on all three bands. The maximum link speed I get on the 5ghz band is 433.3 mbps when the phone is few feet away. While I have older devices connecting at 1300mbps a lot further away on a different floor. I'm hoping a software update will fix this issue.
I also have this problem.
I have RT-AC66U and I could not get more than 500KB on SMB transfer. FTP transfer was fine, only SMB.
I tried bunch of different explorer but no luck.
I did factory reset and firmware update on note 7, and resetted the router. Now I get between 1.5MB to 3.0MB.
I don't know which made the difference, still not happy with the speed though.
Yeah that is still crap, sounds like an issue with certain phones and asus routers.
I think we lucked out though, with the recall, we will all be getting new phones in a few weeks..
