Ive done a preliminary search on transferring files on the TFP and im not sure if im just blind or if we are really just limited to MTP transferring but i was wondering if any one knows of away to increase file transfer speeds over usb using mtp or if there is an alternate way to transfer files that i am completely missing.
I have rooted but havent decided if i want to unlock my bootloader so please refrain from suggesting flashing certain roms.
Thank you in advance

Up to now we don't have mass storage mode available. Maybe you can use the PTP option for fast transfer.

welcome to the world of wifi download file expert... go to networks... then goto I think its windows (prime is powered off right now) if you enter ip address of your machine (192.168.0.XX) your user name on the computer and the password... make sure you have file sharing on the drive / folder you want to access then download away man...

Damn I was hoping for a wired solution, wifi dl can be so slow at times but thank youjust about anything is faster than mtp file transfer

I've resorted to FTP over WiFi.. slow as molasses..
MTP sucks.
Any idea what it would take to get mass storage working this is a big enough deal for me to flash a rom

Or you can just turn on MTP in settings and plug in like usual.

Yes you can use mtp unless you have a win xp system like mine. I have an Acer aspire with win xp sp3. I have tried all the fixes posted as well as modifying the inf files but cannot get mtp mode to work. Airdroid works just fine and it is a small issue to work around. I love ICS on my TP and I am sure the small things will get ironed out in time. Everyone involved in this work has done a great job and I see great things to come for this dead device.

This app is still great if you don't want to have to mess around with pluging it into your Pc I will give it a try thanks !
Samba File sharing (on the market) works fine, you can then map your TouchPad as a network drive in windows (makes it easy to put stuff on it, take stuff of) Just install it, set a password, and enable the share, and then map a drive using the info on the screen. Super easy. (Needs root and working SU)
If you install the Bricks kernal, you can use CIFS manager or Mount Manager to map a network drive to the TP, which allows you to then access files directly over WiFi without having to copy them to the TP first (a normal network share). I found it finicky to get set up, but was able to access my Windows SBS server and Win 7 systems.
Moshe5368 have you tried enabling mtp and disabling debugging? I'm using winxp and that's how I got it working.

I´m new to this Mtp thing. I had a HOX until now and that was a breeze there.
So how is everybody copying files (non-media files) to sd-card pr ext-sd-card?
thx, nearly
Bro I just plugged my phone into my PC and my PC download the drivers needed.. recognized phone and bam. Go into computer and find your device. If you double click on it it should bring up your SD card.. From there I just drag and drop files.

Just like a USB stick. I connect to PC and it pops up. Maybe because I.have development option ticked but don't think it's that. Just download the latest version of kies for the drivers.

Really sucks...
Can't use the phone while transferring large files
What about connecting the phone to a PS3, does that work?
i cant remember the last time i connected a phone to a computer for file transfers.
get samba share from the market or use es file explorer to transfer files to network shares on the pc.
LOL WIRES.
MTP/Kies really suck. My main pc is running Linux so that's a no-go with MTP. I installed Kies on my work pc as it runs Win 7. All SGS 3 drivers are installed as well. For the first few days it was working but now the phone isn't recognised anymore. Either the phone does not show at all on the pc, or it shows but the internal and external SD cards are not showing.
Saw on Samsung's website that there's a Kies version for Mac available so I installed that on my wife's macbook pro. When plugging the phone in the "connecting" message keeps running but the phone never connects. I thought it was because I'm not using the original USB cable, but using that won't work either.
So looking forward to a custom rom that has USB mass storage included. Until then I'm using the WiFi File Transfer Pro and/or Samba Sharing apps.
You can also install Kies Air from the play store on your phone. You won't have to install anything on your PC.
Just make sure you are on the same network as your PC and run the app.
It will start a server and the URL will be displayed on your device.
Enter this URL in your browser on the PC and you are ready to go

You're better off using airdroid if it's just a couple of files

How can I copy file to /data directory?
I use Cyberduck on my Mac to connect to the SGS III by SSH, I have an app called SSHDroidPro on my phone. So easy to use. I can browse the entire filesystem of the phone wirelessly and file transfer is pretty fast and totally painless. MUCH better than Kies Air IMO.

I don't really know if this can help you, but i'll say it anyway..
My dad has an external storage from samsung, with 500 GB, and he can't use it on mac and windows at the same time.. There is a special formatting to use it especially on mac.. and if he formats the storage for mac, he can't use it on windows anymore, only if he formats it back to general settings..
Try to format you sdcard into one that macs recognize and allow transfs ^-^
Thanks I will try 2format an old SD card and c if it works. Bit odd tho as I can use my old nexus one with the s3 SD card in and it connects fine

If you have installed samsung KIES uninstall it by:
opening the kies DMG file you downloaded... inside you would have an Uninstall.app ...
android file transfer app. should work fine after this.
...or use a workaround ala samba file server.
Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
Hey all. Just a second ago I had a whole nice post typed up about this, but something happened on my computer and I lost it. So here's the deal. I can't get my computer to recognize my phone and allow me to access it as a drive. I tried to manually install the drivers but that wouldn't work, it said that the Windows MTP driver wasn't installed then it asked me to install Windows Media Format 11 runtime, which I did, and that didn't help, so I installed Windows MTP, and that didn't fix it either. Before you ask, I have my phone in MTP mode. Please help. I love this phone and just want to be able to use it to it's potential. Thank you.
Edit: Also I should mention it's a Verizon LG V10 VS990. Let me know if you need any more info, I would greatly appreciate some help.
I never use MTP. For way more control, Explorer from Speed Software can connect to any Windows (SMB) share on your home network.
Here this might help

Thank you, I can give this a try when I go home for a temporary fix but where I'm staying at the wi-fi is trash so I don't think it will work well. It also wouldn't suit all my needs, including eventually rooting my device, so I'm going to keep trying to find a more permanent solution. I appreciate the reply.
