I am having problems when I drag and drop files from my computer to my sd or internal phone memory over WiFi. If I do it over USB I have no problems. But with WiFi it transfers until 100% and then freezes, the files seem fine for the most part but "slightly corrupted". Meaning video files will force close if you try to fast forward. Is anyone else experiencing this type of problem?

So I've been trying all night to transfer a handful of CBR files to my ATP through its USB connection. I'm doing this from my desktop which is running windows 7. (in case any or all of those details might help anyone)
At first, I was trying to transfer with the prime plugged into my keyboard dock with USB debugging enabled. Then I disabled USB debugging. Then I tried, with debugging disabled, when connecting to the tablet directly. Finally I tried connected directly to the tablet, but with USB debugging enabled.
At every step in the process I will get through one folder or so, and then get an error on my desktop that says the device has stopped responding or has disconnected, and the transfer will fail.
With a bit more trial and error it seems to be that any time I interact with the prime in any way while it is transferring (even something as simple as scrolling back and forth a little on the home screen to keep it from going to sleep) it fails.
I'm not rooted, I'm on the standard firmware (.21 - latest as of now), and I've tried restarting the prime.
I can not make these files transfer and it's driving me insane. Anyone have any suggestions or theories on how to fix this?
I was hoping that there would be a response, esplanation, or solution to your post.
I am experiencing the same thing when I try to transfer a Titanium Backup Folder back on to the Tablet, be it to the internal SD Card or the External SD Card.
I've also tried all the options you mention (Debugging ON/OFF, etc.)
Are we the only two people experiencing this?

File transfers
Hi,
I was having the same problems, then gave up and fully charged it,
the next day I adb'd the same blob file and it did it in 5 min, the
night before when it was about a quarter charged it was taking a half
hour and would fail. I had it in CWM recovery. So try fully charging it, I have
also had better luck on a xp machine, then my win7 machine.
I had the same problem on .21 not unlocked nor rooted.
I did full wipe data after upgrading to .21 then connected as MTP and copied files successfully. Hope this help.

not to put you off trying to use usb, i had the same issue transferring 5GB from the prime to PC.
i found using Total Commander 1.0 rc5 for Android with the network addon i could transfer it faster via wireless (only due to the poor performance i had with usb)
so just share the content and drag it across the wifi.

Plugins *ghisler*.*com*/androidplugins/
(remove the *, i cant post links yet )
one thing you could try if you haven't is plug it into one of the ports on the back of your computer instead of the front/top/side, sometimes these ports are under powered.
I have this error when i'm trying copy file more than 4Gb to sd card formatted FAT32
might be silly to ask but when you connect did you make sure your on media transfer not the camera one?
This might be the reason. I hate it when this happens when I'm transferring files and I cant change or play with the tablet till its done. Its becoming more of a singletask device. I'm starting to lose faith in Asus tbh.

Okay, so this seems like it will be hard to explain..
When I connect my prime to my computer to transfer files or whatever, it totally becomes unresponsive when navigating/moving files. One minute I can easily browse to lets say.. The camera folder on my prime, then try and refresh or move a folder out of it, it will take forever to actually do anything, like if I refresh it will search for files and not actually finish and find any, even though I was looking at them a minute ago.
I tried to move a video file to an SD card on my prime and left it for about 10 minutes, the bar didnt move at all so I cancelled it and tried to refresh the folder, and nothing is coming up, just a blank folder with a loading bar at the top.
Anyone else get this problem?
It's related to Prime's slow read and write speed. It's normal behavior for devices that use cheap components.
Are you sure that the files aren't on a storage media that unmounts when you connect the prime via USB. Like for example connecting a device as disk drive to the computer, it firsts unmounts the external sd card from prime then mounts via USB and when you eject it from the USB cable it says preparing storage?
Hey guys,
So I'm trying to transfer all my music from my Prime onto a desktop, but every so often the file copy/transfer will stop and I have to start it again, copying the files which haven't already been copied. This is nothing new to me, it happens when I would transfer a large amount of data in one go like when transferring movies from my external hard drive - after a while the transfer will stop. I'm seeking help for this now because it's starting to get frustrating, as it means I can't leave the computer because I have to keep starting the process again.
Does anyone know why this happens, and what can be done to stop it? Is there some kind of time-out function in the Prime that stops things when it's been idle for a certain period of time?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I had the same problems with the USB (copying from/to USB stick) and also noticed it SD cards. See also my thread [Q] Bugs in file manager app.
Somehow either Android or the ASUS internal storage device can't handle large data transfers...
I've somehow been stuck with this issue for a short while.
I'm running Omega v34 JB 4.1.2 on my Galaxy S3 32GB. Tried both stock and Siyah 1.3 - 1.8 kernals.
Basically, hook my phone up to my computer in Media mode, transfer a file to the phone and the transfer will randomly time out. When it times out, the progress bar will just sit there and not progress at all, i'm constantly having to physically connect/re-connect my phone. This issue has existed since v33 of JB when the test firmware was leaked. I tried flashing back to v31/32 and doing full wipes but the issue still exists. The issue can occur within 10 seconds of transferring the file(s).
This happens when transferring to internal or external storage on the phone
Happens on any computer. Also tried different cables/USB ports/etc
Tried googling and searching this form but it almost appears I may be the only one with this issue...
To get around it i've tried using UMS to mount the ext storage as a USB Mass Storage device.. this works fine. Transferred files in one 30 minute continuous session, everything copied, nothing stopped or timed out.
But either in MTS or Camera mode, transferring data will eventually grind to a halt and I have to keep disconnecting/reconnecting in order to get it to work. It's a pain if I have to transfer multiple files.
Any ideas?
Also, has anyone else had the charging issue? Where the phone seems to charge as per normal via AC but ever since JB came in for the SGS3, the phone either takes an eternity to charge via a USB data port or it very slowly drains.
I can't even transfer data via USB on my device. Maybe try Wi-Fi file transfer or Wi-Fi droid.
I have Charing problem as well, but different. Phone randomly says it's charging when it isn't, and phone won't chare at all of powered off...

I have the same issue with media transfer, It's like someone pulls out the usb cable from either end!
I've given up trying to find a solution to this. I now just use FTP with ES File Manager and filezilla on the laptop. works like a charm
On two different Windows 10 computers at home, I've had a bit of struggle trying to access the storage on my Z5C (running Nougat .376 UK firmware). I was trying to copy over some new music to the 200GB Sandisk microSD card, but Windows would continually hang and eventually give up even on just browsing folders. I could unplug the phone and try again but with no success. I popped out the microSD card and put it in an adapter and there wasn't any issue copying files over.
Anyone else ever notice Windows having difficulties accessing files on the phone? For what it's worth, I've almost always done firmware updates via Xperia Companion over USB without any problems, so it seems to be specifically related to file transfer/browsing.

make sure the screen doesn't turn off, enable developer options and check do not turn off display on charge
(i feel like MTP gets capped out at 20MB/s or something....from external SD --> internal bus rate??) for really really big transfers 8GB+, I usually remove my SD and use the SD reader, it should be OK if you have a good USB reader that can read the full speed of your card.
Sounds like a new USB cord is needed.
NeoBeum this is not really required to transfer files
*make sure the screen doesn't turn off, enable developer options and check do not turn off display on charge*
genuine?
try sd insight from play store see if ur sdcard is genuine
To all:
Is there a reason why not allowing the screen to sleep would help with file transfer speed back to a PC?
I've tried a couple different USB cables with similar results.
Card is genuine and as mentioned it transfers at full speed when using a SD card adapter and plugging in directly to the PC.

not really, no (don't really need to enable always on screen), but if some users have problems, i just recommend to do that so they can walk away from the tx, and come back without the screen turning off
the z5c has a tendency to temporarily turn off MTP when the display sleeps, you'll be able to tell, because the files on the PC - will contain 0 data, but still appear in the destination
at the moment i'm looking at MTP Host and the other USB services on the phone to see if it will behave better with battery optimisation disabled
edit: if the phone locks @ sleep, it will disable MTP, I have never successfully transferred while my phone locks itself, smartlock can be another workaround for this, unlock with PC

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try next time I need to copy files over to the phone (usually new music) and see what happens.
