When I connect my Tab 10.1 to my PC (usb debugging is off) I can access the tablet through the explorer. However when I try to copy to / from the Tab it takes ages. ~18min for 3gig.
Same USB port Galaxy S is MUCH faster. Is there any way to increase the transfer speed?
I have same question. And another one: is there possibility to see Tab in Total Commander? Because if it is connected to PC, I can see it in Explorer as disk drive but not in Total Commander.

I found this to be one of the flaws of the new galaxy tab. And I don't think it is repairable
Damn, how are there guys copying their MP3 library to the tab? Just keep it running over night?
I noticed the same issue with slow transfers when moving movies over, I moved a few playlists over wifi using kies and out didn't take to long, movie was taking forever over wifi using kies so I went with usb.
Anyone try SD-Booster? https://market.android.com/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&feature=search_result
Its suppose to increase the cache size which makes transferring faster for USB.
Stock cache is 128 KB and the app allows you to increase it up to 2048 KB or higher
pershoot already has what the app does built into his kernel if you want to try a custom kernel. His is set to 1024 KB I think.

Hi all,
I'm about to travel to Ireland next week, with my SGS2 and a camcorder - but no notebook.
My challenge was to be able to download everything from my camcorder onto a portable HDD, using only the Samsung (this would free my camcorder's SDHC card for the following day).
Successes so far:
SGS2 "sees" camcorder through OTG cable, and downloads (small) files
SGS2 "sees" HDD through OTG cable, and uploads/downloads (small) files (HDD is a 1TB My Passport, reformatted to FAT32 and connected through a powered USB2 hub)
Can even transfer (small) files directly from cam to HDD, when SGS2, HDD and Cam are all conected to the hub (SGS2 using OTG cable)
Steps 1-3 were easy, but I still have a problem in files getting cut at 1GB (the remainder of the file doesn't transfer - presumably a RAM size issue). And camcorder files are usually large (around 3GB)...
Any way I can transfer larger files?
All answers are welcome - I need to fly in a few days...
Thanks,
Kim
are you sure is fat 32? as far as i know the limitation is at 4gb for fat 32 so in theory it should allow you!
Also, for a better solution you should look into how to mount ntfs drives? can your video camera can handle ntfs drive?
If your rooted you may want to look at ntfs support in your kernel, i know chainfire's is ntfs compatible. Hope this helps.

Can transfer large files from your portable HD (or an USB stick) to the phone, with the OTG cable? Connect the HD, then copy a file from it using My Files.
Turns out the file manager I was using (eFile) cut the transfers after exactly 1.95GB (showed the integer as 1GB)
Tried with My Files - worked like a charm, transferring directly from Cam to HDD or any other combination I like.
Thanks Guys!!!
Congrats.
Ok after a few days of trolling through posts and searching I can't find the answer I'm looking for... Do you need Kies to transfer from PC to SGS3 via USB? I understand it used for updates etc but what I'm getting is can I plug the SGS3 into a friends computer and grab some data without it. Thanks
Edit: found the answers I was looking for.
››Connect as a media device
You can connect your device to a computer and access media
files stored on your device.
1 Connect your device to a computer with a USB cable.
2 Tap the indicator icons(top of the screen eg where the time & battery icon is) area and drag it downwards to
open the notifications panel.
3 Select Connected as a media device → Media device
(MTP).
4 Transfer files between your device and the computer.
Not working for me. On a rooted S3.
"USB utilities" doesn't appear on any list.
The S3 supports MTP and PTP. No need for special USB drivers as far as I tell.

It works fine with my PC but not with my MBP...doesn't show up as attached storage.
Hmmm, Thanks for your reply's...Reason I started this thread was because a HTC owner I know said the reason He didn't wait for the SGS3 was because he thought you needed software(I take it he was thinking Kies) installed on a computer to transfer data.
I can't confirm on my SGS3 as I don't pick it up till tomorrow in New Zealand. Those steps I posted were from the Samsung site on how to transfer files for the S2, I just took it for granted it would be the same for the S3.
I just want to make sure I can just access the drive on the phone say if I visit a friend and grab some data off them without having to install software on their computer or log onto their wi-fi for Kies to work
If they have a computer that supports MTP or PTP you will be fine. No software is needed.

Edit: found the answers I was looking for.
1. Attach your Samsung device to your computer (PC or Mac) using the USB cable. If this is the first time you’ve connected your device to your computer, it will install the necessary drivers on your computer.
2. On your Samsung device, touch Applications > Settings > Wireless and network > USB utilities.
3. Remove the USB cable from you Samsung device.
4. On your Samsung device touch “Connect storage to PC.” You will see a warning: “USB utilities / Connect USB cable to use mass storage.” Insert the USB cable into your Samsung device while the message is still on the screen. Do not touch “Cancel.”
5. The screen will change to “USB mass storage” with a picture of a green Android and a message that says “USB connected.” Touch “Connect USB storage” at the bottom.
6. Your Samsung device is now connected to your computer. The device’s internal storage will appear on your computer as an external drive. If you also have a microSD card installed, this will show up as a second external drive.
7. You can now drag and drop files directly from your computer or iTunes to your device. You can create folders on your device as necessary to organize your files. Your device will automatically index these files and make them available in your media player.
8. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MAC USERS: Before you disconnect your device from your Mac, you must eject the disks on your Mac, just as you would eject any disk or flash drive. After the drives have been ejected, touch “Disconnect storage from PC” on your Samsung device.
9. When you’ve moved all of the files you need to, disconnect the USB cable.

Yea I know i posted those steps in my first post before I got my phone, I copied those steps from the samsung website, I'll update it with the right procedure when I get home from work sorry for any confusion
when you plug in the micro USB and connect it to your PC you have two options in the notification bar : MPT or PTP.
This means that we can't transfer over unsupported files, right?
Like MKV files... I've been dying to try an HD movie on this screen.. whenever I try to transfer an MKV file, windows explorer crashes

It crashes windows explorer when trying to transfer an mkv file. Transferred an avi but asked if I wanted to convert the file. I need to play around some more, but I'm stuck onthis right now.
--update... still not resolved! Can you explain how you got it to work ThreeTwoBravo? I can't put any .mkv files on my phone. Even had a go at the kies app, its trash.

Hi, I'm going on vacation soon and since my tablet (10.1) has only a limited amount of space, I was wondering if there is a quick and easy way to transfer files (movies and tv shows, ~700mbs) from my android phone (s3) to the tablet, without the use of the internet, as I might not have any internet connect and I wont be bringing my laptop. Thanks for the help.
wifi direct in the settings menu or try an app called airdroid if you have a wifi router. Using the browser you can via wifi download and upload files
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
Or get a USB OTG dongle (if your phone supports mass storage).
It can be quite slow, but I've used bluetooth to transfer files as large as 180MB between my phone and galaxy tab before. You could try packaging your files in a zip (use es file explorer or something similar) and then transferring with bluetooth (keep in mind, it can take around 10 mins to copy ~200MB).
Wifi file sender. Make one device a wifi hotspot. Then connect the other and run the app on both devices. You'll know what to do...

I find myself in this situation because I travel pretty frequently abroad and for stays shorter than a month I bring with me only my smartphone (Galaxy Note) and my tablet (G.Tab 10.1" 3G) and there are tons of options:
- Wi-Fi direct. it's built-in in both the G.Tab and the S3 and you don't need internet, routers or cables and it's pretty fast, it's probably the best option for what you need
- free apps like Airdrop or Samsung Kies Air or (the one I use most because has both a browser-based files transfer and an FTP server, I have the paid version) Remote Web Desktop (for these you need a router though)
- an USB OTG adaptor for the G.Tab (AFAIK there is only the original Samsung one) and then connect the S3 as "mass storage device" (check in the settings, on my Note it's under "Wireless and networks"-->"USB settings"-->"Connect as mass storage device". you can also use an USB flash drive to store your movies or even a PC hard disk if it's in a powered external case
- the SD memory card reader adaptor from Samsung. same as the USB adaptor except you connect to it SD cards or microSD cards in an SD size adaptor. you can for example connect to the G.Tab the microSD card from your S3 (since you seem to store whole movies on your S3 I assume you are using also removable memory in it)
- Bluetooth (exactly like Wi-Fi direct except it's way slower)
I personally use all of the above methods, it all depends on what you have to transfer. Apps like Airdroid, Kies Air and Remote Web Desktop I use mainly at home with my PC (I hate using cables so rarely use the Note's and the G.Tab's USB cables with the PC), between my tablet and smartphone for small and few files I use Bluetooth, for big but few files I use Wi-Fi direct, for many files of whatever size I use both the USB OTG and SD card reader adaptors from Samsung (at the time I bought the G.Tab they were sold together with a small discount and they are both useful in slightly different ways).

I reckon this is your best bet, especially for speed.
I bought my USB connector for my Tab 10.1 for around £3 off eBay and also the USB connector for my S2 for around £2 from the same place (3 cheers for the 'Bay' ). Easy as pie and is a great help when travelling...
I've bought TWO (one at home other at office) of this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Conne...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item20c67757be
Perfect!!!
Plus with the cheapest(smaller) card reader :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-All-I...Readers_RL&hash=item2eb13e7e1e#ht_2399wt_1187
Just think the tablet could bring this interface on stock, but works just fine.
I personally use WiFi Direct for big files like that, not really tried folders or multiple files (I'll give out a go tonight though) but of tone not tried that feature, you should, it's one of those features that I think should be highlighted more by Samsung in my opinion.

Questions go in the Q&A section
I have been searching the boards for the past few days about this known issue.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
When you use the USB to transfer files the transfer rate is usually 500 kb/s or so.
Its not terrible if you just want to transfer a photo or a song, but when you want to transfer videos or other large files it takes a really long time.
I did find an app that lets you transfer files via WiFi. It works very well but I need to transfer these files to other computers that are not within my network.
Its not the USB cable it self or the computers usb port.
I used the same cable on other phones and it works fine.

Sami issue here on mys SGS I9000
I don't know if this only happen for my poco f1. I use 2tb hard disk to transfer some movies but the transfer speed is so slow. The movie files usually around 800mb to 1gb size. It took so long to transfer 1 movie let alone transfer 2-3 movies.
My friend has Redmi note 9, he tried using my hardisk with the same OTG to transfer 4 movies, it only took him about 15 min. Doesn't even drain his battery. My transfer speed never exceeds 1mb/s. Which drained my battery very fast. And itll took about 30min+ to complete a transfer. While my friends transfer speed is around 32 mb/s. I know redmi note 9 is a slightly new phone. But i wanna know why does poco transfer speed is so slow.
I did use various file manager, it didnt really show any significant difference. Though using stock file manager is slightly slower.
Currently on v4.5 android 10 corvus custom rom.

Try to transfer your files into airplane mode (Don't surprise because otg not working with my poco if I'm not enabling airplane mode), If it's the same problem, try to check your flash drive transfer speed on your pc via usb 2.0 port if it's ok try to change otg device, Try also 3rd party file manager from google play store (like x-plore or file manager +),
Please note I'm using stock miui non rooted and by steps above I can reach over 30 MB/s transfer rate

Hi Thanks. I did try airplane mode it didnt do nothing. Does airplane mode let your phone recognised your hardisk or it speed up your transfer speed? Also what drive did you use?

Airplane mode makes transfer process stable, because if I'm not in airplane mode the otg keeps disconnecting during transfer, The drive I used is kingstone but it doesn't matter, Try to test its speed on pc via usb 2.0 port

In custom ROMs, 5GHz in Hotspot mode is limited to Wifi n only(144Mbps). No Wifi AC 867Mbps sadly. Max. I get is 6-8MB/s,occassionally upto 10MB/s.
Edit: In A11 at least in crDroid 7.x this has finally been fixed. 15-20MB/s on average. I expected higher speeds as my old Redmi Note 3 with 1x1 433Mbps adapter did 30-32MB/s consistently.
