Slow transfer speeds after Kitkat Update - LG Optimus G Pro

Did anyone else notice this? After the KK update, the file transfer speed between my PC and OGP has dropped considerably when I sync using USB Media Sync (MTP). Earlier OGP used to load up as another drive, after the update it is loading up as a Portable device. Any suggestions on how to improve the speed?

Looks like the io scheduler needs to be set on bfq for better transfer speed. But only possible with a custom kernel. Atm there s none

USB transfer rate

anyone noticed when transferring big files from computer to defy using usb cable, transfer rate is 2.5 mb max either in windows or linux? Anyone got a fix for this? Thanks
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
i'm guessing that would have to be something to do with your memory card class.
the memory card has its max transfer limits or something like that
of course,it has the max transfer rate,you can not change it
even i experienced this on my class 4 sdhc
First it starts from 9mbps
Then drops too 2.8
Cm 7.2 nightly

Connecting to ps3 via usb

Guys, ive been mounting android phones via usb to my ps3 since my g1 days.
How can I connect my note 2 to my ps3 for it to recognize it to transfer my videos, pics, and such over just like every other galaxy device?
Am I missing something stupid or is the new touchwiz a jerk and ill only be able to do it as a media server via wifi, which takes forever for files over a gig.

Yeah its not tw, i think its ics and above. The mass storage is no longer. either do as you said via wifi media server or transfer to a flash drive via otg cable then to ps3 via flash drive.

So dumb. I rooted and stayed stock. Now im leaning toward AOSP just because of this headache

If memory servers me well, I believe the PS3 will only recongize FAT32 for external drives. I don't believe that is the phone's native format. I would try formatting your phone storage--internal or microSD--and see how it goes. Just remember, FAT32 has a file limit size of 4GB.
I believe Windows 7 can do the formatting for you. I believe they got rid of that lame 16GB total size limit. If not, you can use use a Ubuntu live CD and format it that way.
you can always just use an old phone that has mass storage and a microSD slot like a lg rumer2 or something like that and transfer files thats what i do,
I also miss this feature.
I use settings, more settings, nearby devices, file sharing. (Have to have both connected to wifi I believe)
Then from ps3 search for media server.
It's slower for me, but being wireless is a plus

Read/ Write Speed

Yesterday I copied my itunes songs onto a folder on my desktop so I could transfer those songs onto my phone. For some reason itunes doesn't like directly copying to another device. Anyways, it copied 298 songs (my small library) to the desktop in less than 10 minutes. I then transfered the desktop folder, or rather tried to. Seeing that it was unbearably slow, I decided to let it sit overnight to finish copying. Today, I unplugged my phone thinking it was done and only saw 238 songs. Sitting more than 5 hours, it failed to finish copying my music. This was on my extension sd card, because copying to my phone was even slower. I'm not really sure what to do because I don't know if this is a driver issue on my computer or if this is my phone's fault. Is there a way to speed up my read write speed on both my computer and my phone?
I have a windows 7 computer and am using the correct cord.
I also didn't eject it properly a couple times because when I tried to eject it it said a program was still using it when bo programs jn my task manager were open.

As I have noticed when you copy using normal means the transfer always seems a tad slow. When I do it through my recover it seems a lot faster, my guess its the way phone Mounts the card. When done normally it mounts in a weird way, but when done through the recovery its mounted as a usb storage device and I think that allows the better speeds. Hope that helps.

I use winamps wireless transfer. Suprisingly its much faster than usb transfer. But yes I will have to try that thanks

Tethering Netflix

Just curious if the data is around the same watching it from the phone vs tethering it to the ps3/iPad?

Strictly talking data speeds, it wouldnt be. Whenever you add an extra layer you lose some data speed...and especially when that layer is wifi vs a hardwired connection, you lose a good amount
Its like connecting to your home wifi, then tethering from your phone, and then connecting your other devices to your phones wifi. There would be a faster connection if you just connected the devices directly to the home wifi
Now the reason I say "strictly data speeds" is because you have to take into account another implicit factor here, the video playback and video buffering capabilities of each device. It may be that although the connection speed is faster from your phone, the other devices will stream better because their video playback is implemented in a more efficient / faster way. If the software is bad, then the things the software is gonna do will be bad as well, and other devices will be able to potentially do it faster
I think the op is asking whether Netflix sends a lower bitrate video to the phone app vs. the tablet, desktop, or console apps.
I honestly don't know, but I'd think it ramps up the quality based on the speed, not the device.

Significant slower speed while downloading a torrent on nexus 7??

Has anyone realize that download speed on Nexus 7 is significantly slower on the Nexus 7? I can get a much better speed when I use my nexus 4 to download the same torrent. And I've also tried different clients (utorrent, bittorrent, atorrent etc.) that doesn't help either. Any thought on how to improve this?

Play with your wifi settings like wifi optimization and such, that particular option has slowed my wifi on other devices.

I haven't had any issues download torrents. Try forwarding different ports on your router. I get 2.6 mb/s downloading torrents which is what my computer gets and what my ISP provides, and I'm running my nexus off the 5ghz band on my dual band router. 26 Mbps Down/2.57 Mbps Up

i have the same issue
I have both nexus tablet 7 12 & 13 in front of me connected to the same access point and both using tTorrent pro app. 2012 is downloading at +300kbps while 2013 barely reaches 100kbps. What is the problem???

I had the same issue with kitkat, previous device on 3.2 OS run fine. PC too.
I disabled uTP in flud (network), and I limited connections to 30 (bandwidth) or 21.
Probably it will resolve problem.
If not, forward ports on router, and set it in BT client
i.e. 6881~6889 or 18006 UTP&UDP.
Eventually also disable upnp, or also change storage to SD, or internal memory.
I have also enabled encryption out and in, and both level. I'm not sure, maybe if it will helps here I write.
At the end you can check ttorent with utp disabled/or prevented from limit ~sth like this, that's the other solution.
In Android options you can test turning off optimizing Wifi option.
I also met with serious troubles with achieving proper speeds during attempts of streaming torrents. Unfortunately, now there is no any torrent stream app which has extended options of p2p protocol, for applying given instructions above, excluding mTorrent, (port setting and encryption) which is still not enough, and flud still rules among all android p2p clients, which allows to get some more decent speeds, maybe not as at PC, but decent.
And flud still surprises, having option of sequential downloading, which means transforming way of downloading, just for watching in fly, during downloading, to not spread pieces around during downloading, so in that way like bitx or tvp, or mTorrent works. We can see the 'pieces' in a diagram, and just start watching after some time when enough data is collected. Mostly when ETA corresponds with duration of movie. And then, just find your file, and open by your usual player. That's it. I recommend MX Player. Finds different subs in many languages, allows switching.
So, with my instructions for flud given above, or just with flud as solution for problem with slow torrent downloads on Android, especially streams, now you can finally achieve decent speeds to stream i . e. 2GB FHD file with 4 mb network bandwidth on devices with troubles with low speed of downloading torrents on Android.
So, enjoy.
