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 just went to transfer some files to the Fire when I remembered how it barely goes usb 1.0 speeds.
2mb a sec for a 300mb video file is obscenely wrong.
Last I recall the wifi speed was actually faster.
Is there a software fix or something yet or still stick with the wifi xfers?
It seems a lot peppier now. It wasn't so sluggish to detect the device when I connected it and I just got about 20 MB/sec on a >700MB file transferred via USB.
Edit: But transferring the OTHER way (from my computer TO the KF) I just got... about 2.3 MB/sec on a file less than half that size. Weird.
I think it's somewhat better on 6.2.2. USB mounting the sdcard partition dropped from 10 to 2 seconds for me, and USB transfer of a ~260MB file is now at about 10MB/s. I don't recall the original speed but I know it was quite a bit slower.
Tom's Hardware has a very nice but highly technical. explanation about why the transfer speeds are very slow.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amazon-kindle-fire-review,3076-11.html
With 6.2.2, it's still too slow to transfer files to the device.
I understand the why, but would love to know know the "when" it will be fixed.
My ipaq transferred faster on compact flash cards.
I didnt notice this on 6.3 firmware
But since I changed to CM7KFire it's been ridiculosly slow... do any of you out there with stock software 6.3 got fast transfer speeds?
You can get 5-6MB/s if you use adb push.
I tried going into "Media Device (MTP)" and then tried "Camera (PTP)". Neither seemed to work. Any ideas?

I tried for like 30 minutes to get my phone to work with a mac. Ended up using Airdroid and just transferring files over wifi.
I personally use wifi file transfer.

Thanks, Airdroid looks great. But for transferring large files, wi-fi is pretty painful. Just for the sake of brutal comparison, I found I was getting less than 1/10 the transfer speed (on video files 300-500mb) over wi-fi. Guess I'll have to get windows running on my mac again...unless there's a way to actually do file transfer over usb on my Mac..? (without cracking open my phone and removing the msd card)
I've run into the same issue myself. The phone is recognized, but nothing ever happens as far as the drives popping up.
Best workaround is to just use parallels if you have access to it...

Another option is to pull the SD card and plug that into your Mac. Luckily I have a PC as well so I don't have to come up with a workaround.
Hi guys, since we still don't have MTP full filesystem access on L-950, I suppose to use SFTP. Download from phone to PC working great, on the full WiFi throttle. But upload to phone storage with transfer rate more than 32 Kbps always fails (after couple of megabytes).
I tried all rates (via Far Manager) and looks like 32 Kbps is a highest possible stable rate. But upload of the huge files takes sooooooo looooong time (like in "good old nineties" with analog phone modem)
Does anyone know how to fix the upload speed?
I am having issues with copying files being slow on my 5T. A small transfer either on the device itself, or from my laptop (running Fedora 27) to the phone takes forever. In the case of the computer it can't properly judge the estimated time of completion. I tried repairing SD card after flashing, but had no effect.
The weird thing is copying the 1.8GB FreedomOS 2.0.2 ROM (which I'm running) from laptop to phone transferred at "normal speed", but in other instances, copying just a few megabytes of files either takes forever, or never finishes. I was copying 14MB of V4A profiles from one directory to another on the phone, and after 16 minutes it never finished. As a separate test, I copied some music from my OP3 backup on my laptop to the phone, and was getting 10MB/sec. That is still ridiculously slow for USB3 as my external HD does ~125MB/sec. I even tried booting to TWRP recovery and copying files that way, but speeds did not improve.
The phone itself absolutely flies and have not seen a single stutter or lag, so something else is weird, and only specifically with copying files. Maybe something weird w/ disk i/o writes? Never had this issue on my OP3 or OPO.
EDIT: Tried my old Dash cable, same results. Attaching screenshot of transfer speed.
Windows (if thats what you are using) has never been able to properly judge completion time so thats not really much of an issue, but I have experienced some transfer issues today as well on Windows 10. I was making a backup of internal and when I initiated the transfer it would just say processing and stay at that indefinitely. I would have to unplug the phone to get it to do anything and then once unplugged is when it would change from processing to the transfer dialog coming up before aborting due to the unplugged device. It did this even after a restart of both computer and phone and was the first time I have experienced it with this device. I have never experienced it before with any other device on this PC.
Just tested on my work PC(win7 x64). Before installing the oneplus built-in driver, Even open up the internal storage window takes so long to finish scanning, and just like OP, transfering small files takes forever.
But after installing the driver, and re-plug the cable,things go normal. TRY THAT!!
I have same issue on my home desktop(win10 64bit), but the driver seams help just a bit not exactly like day&night difference on win7

Probably should've mentioned this in my OP but I'm running Linux on my laptop, specifically Fedora 27. As mentioned, I haven't had any transfer issues with previous phones or other USB devices. I don't have a Windows installation to further test, but interesting that installing the driver fixed your issues in Windows.

It has an OSX driver, but not one for Linux. Just a shell script for getting adb set up, which I appreciate, but already have installed.
I'm facing the same issue, extremely slow file transfer to my OP5T using Fedora 27. Transferring music crawls at 1.1 MB/s.

Have you checked at which speed the USB works on Fedora for your device? OP5T still has an USB 2.0 port so you should expect to see that.
I also facing the same problem. OnePlus ROM writing speed really slow. I have test both from Windows and MacOS to my OP5T it slower than than copy files to my iPhone5. I hope OnePlus update on their ROM in the next devices I'm so disappointed while they use 6/8GB of RAM and latest processing.
I’m using Oreo beta in my OP 5t and KDE on top of Ubuntu 16.04. File transfer speeds have never been an issue for neither of my devices. (OP 5t and OP 3)
I created an 1 GiB test file with a command:
Code:
fallocate -l 1G test.img
I copied the file to my phone over USB and it took approximately 27 seconds. KDE progress bar was displaying 37 MiB/s, which seems to be pretty accurate as 1024MiB divided by 27 seconds equals ~38MiB/s.
I run the test over my 5Ghz WiFi as well and surprisingly it was faster than USB. I copied the same 1GiB file from my FTP server and it took less than 20 seconds. The speed was ~50MiB/s. A year a go I run the same test with my OP3 and it was slower than usb. The WiFi speed on OP3 was around 30-35MiB/s.
It’s significantly slower to copy many small files than one large one so that may explain the reason some of you are facing slow file transfer speeds.

I tried the same test as you, with similar results. However, when I try to copy about 1GB of mp3 files (average size of 5MB each), the file transfer drops to less than 500 kB/s.

For me. If I copy massive files its going to go really fast. If u copy ALOT of tiny folders with like 1/10th the size it will probably take longer. Like last time I wanted to transfer my twrp backup to my pc it was going to take so long I had to cancel it.
This goes with everything. Even with just my pc and moving files on my hdd.
But I get your point. That should be faster than that
Appreciate all the testing and analysis. Very similar to what I'm experiencing, fast transfer for a large file (ROM or GAPPS), but slower speeds for "normal"-sized files. The 1.1 Mb/s rates and below are pretty much what I see on Fedora 27 transferring to my OP5t, which is baffling since I had no trouble on my OP3 or OPO. Transfers to my USB 3.0 WD hard drive results in a steady 150MB/sec, so I know it's not an issue w/ anything locally. I think I'll open up a bug report w/ OnePlus and see what they say.

I did some more testing and it seems that I don't have any transfer speed issues. I copied an audio book folder containing many small mp3 files to my phone. The folder was 757,8MiB in size.
Ubuntu + KDE: 757,8MiB / 34 seconds = 22,3MiB/s
Windows 10: 757,8MiB / 37 seconds = 20,5MiB/s
I also tested SanDisk Ultra 32GB CompactFlash card and USB3 card reader and the copying took 18 seconds. (42,1MiB/s) So it was significantly faster but that was to be expected.
