I fully intend on rooting and loading a good ROM on this but I;m heading to Mexico and want to put some flicks for the trip on here. That was the whole reason for getting this tablet.
Is there any way to avoid using the crappy Windows Media Player to transfer files across??? Takes for ever and it wants to transcode everything for crying out loud. Pain in the ass!!!!
Dragging and dropping doesn't seem to work, just sits there and errors out. Can't even transfer MP3 files over using Windows Explorer. If it can't be done then why the hell show the drive in My Computer!!!!
Was so excited and then so disappointed!
Sure it worked on mine. Have you got an sd card in it? Perhaps use a card reader and put it on that way.

I have the Turbo 250GB version with ICS on it.
Plugged into the WIN7 system at work and nothing gets transfered, just sits there and then errors out.
Come to think of it, I updated it to ICS by pasting the Archos ROM onto the system. Now that it's on there I can't copy files there anymore!?!?!
I have tried several computer to transfer files to my 80 G9 250gb model. What a pain in the but. WMP works sometimes but it is slow. The camera mode worked for a while then stopped. Tech support said to reflash it. I did then it didn't work at all.. I tried wireless but that was to slow but did work. I don't have there little proprietary usb cable and there store was out of them so i just plugged my 1 tb passport drive into the full size usb port on the back and used it. Worked great. Nice transfer speeds compared to what I had been getting.
On another note the hard drive on the archos had a problem waking up after the tablet was not used for a while. For the first 3 days the tablet would freeze with the disc icon showing and the hard drive would never spin up. I would have to hard reset it to make it work. The last two days it has been working fine. I have IC 4.0.3 since I got it and no firmware updates to explain why the drive works now but it does.

SOLVED!!!!!!
FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
I had immediately flashed ICS onto the tablet but they (Archos) in their infinite wisdom, failed to include a wipe of the data partition (Harddrive) of all data when flashing the device with the new image.
I performed a full reset of the tablet which formatted the harddrive. Once it restarted everything was hunkydory!
It is rather slow though transfering though USB. I have noticed that plugging in a flash drive to the host USB and transferring through there went slightly faster so that might be an option for some.
Another idea I had was to install an FTP server and transfer files that way.

Love my phone, but I can't get it to mount to my pc. Before the latest update I was able to use easy tether and access my sd card to transfer files. After the update neither the PC nor the phone do anything when plugged in, other than charge the phone. I've only found one computer that I can mount my phone to. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I've tried multiple USB cords and even HTC's support line. They seem to think Verizon's media manager is to blame, but I think it would happen with all of us if that were true.
BTW phone is completely stock.
I have the same issue.

Not Quite The Same
My computer doesn't recognize my phone at all. My DINC worked fine on every computer I tried it on, too bad I can't get used to the smaller screen and the 3G speeds again.
What does your computer say under device manager? Might have to update drivers, or delete them and reinstall them.

Just one entry has a problem, but my coworkers Samsung Captivate works in this PC. The other computer doesn't have any issues in Device Manager. When I try to update it the Hardware Update Wizard says that it could not find a better match for my hardware. I can't post the image yet, 8 more posts to go.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the HTC drivers. You may also try a different USB port, if you haven't already.

Yeah I think it has to do with the Verizon bloat. My Dad's work computer won't see his phone but it sees mine just fine. We both have Rezounds, but mine obviously isn't stock like his.
Tempted to hard reset
I'm so fed up with this that I am tempted to let Verizon do a factory reset. Either it works or they'll send a refurbished phone and hopefully that will one will work. Either way one way or another its going to cost them man hours or phones. I'm fed up with the bloat and the problems it causes.
I'm posting from my Windows 7 i7 gaming rig. My Rezy is usb connected to my rig. I can navigate both my internal memory file system as well as my SD card file system from Win7.
My Rezy is locked and stock, btw. I love this phone.
OK so I connected my prime to my PC to transfer over some music and videos to occupy me for my upcoming trip specifically to my micro SD card, and it only connects "as media Device" and shows up in my computer as portable media player. This if F-ing retarded I just want it to operate as a disk drive as my phone does. I plug my phone in and it asks me like a good piece of silicon should.
Maybe I am missing something and all is well but where is that option? It is a problem because it just doesn't work, if I want to check a file on my prime from my PC it has to copy it to some temp spot on my pc????? also I tried copying 12gb over and it was going to take something ridiculous like 4 hours!!!!
I stick the same card in my android GB PHONE and it copies in ~ 20 minutes so is this and ICS thing or is this just yet another stupid move by ASUS?
I have tried to be objective with this tablet, I have barely posted anything bad in the 2 MONTHS (today) I have owned it but this just annoys me along with the bluetooth/Wifi problem, non existent GPS, random reboots, seemingly shotty haptic feedback and 4 hot spots on my screen. I would send it in to get fixed however I honestly am loosing faith in ASUS and want it for my trip to Vegas on Monday and then I'm going to Jamaica in a month.
On top of this I Pmed Gary and he must think I was digging for a lawsuit as he said he would be caught up om PMs last weekend expect for the ones he deleted feeling they were asking things in a way that was digging for a lawsuits? I have never taken a law course in my life and don't even have my own lawyer.
I just feel really betrayed and I'm sorry my little question turned into a rant I just needed to get it all out. I will send it in when I am not in need of the tablet and make my final judgement then but as it stands neither me nor my family (as I am the tech guy) will EVER buy anything ASUS again.
when I plug my prime into a computer it shows up as a media device just like you said, however I can double click on it and access the tablets internal storage and microSD card just like a USB hard drive. Transferring files too and from the tablet seem about as fast as transferring them to my USB hard drive.
Also I don't known what phone you have, but my Galaxy S2 also acts like a media device and doesn't ask me what kind of USB connection I want to make. But likewise I can still access the internal storage and microSD card just like they were a mounted hard drive.
I am connecting my devices to several Windows 7 PCs.

Thanks, I'm using an HTC amaze and off it i can play my files directly and transfer rate was literally 10 times faster. I did realize clicking it shows both storage directories but its super slow and try playing a copied file.
I'm using win 7 64 bit on my PC.
It's because the Prime (and most if not all new Android devices) use MTP which is MUCH slower than the previous method. So no, not Asus as fault this time!

This might not work for you, but both my Win 7 laptop and my Win 7 desktop have SD card slots built into them. I find it much easier and faster to just pop the microSD card slot out of the Prime and plug it into my PC to move large files over to my tablet.
An microSD -> SD card adapter is much smaller to carrier around than even data cable, and they are cheap enough that you can get a bunch and just stash them around places you might need to do transfers in. I actually use an SD card adapter to replace the dummy card that came with my laptop. It still protects the SD card slot and at least now I have something functional in there.

that would be the ideal solution however my PC doesn't have a card reader
They use it (if I recall correctly) because it allows for the entirety of the devices storage to be used for any purpose. I'm not sure the trade off on performance is worth it though.

I've tried via hardwire usb and swiftp but no luck. Usb get's me the furthest but then stalls about 1/2 way through while swiftp cuts our almost immediately.
I'm trying to transfer about 10 gb of files from a Windows 7 pc but don't know what to do next to get this to work.
Any ideas or suggestions? I'm currently transfering the files to a thumbdrive (no issue) then I'll attempt the same thing with my laptop/Ubuntu rig to see if that works but I'm stymied here.
What are the files, vidyas? If so, then you should think about getting a micro sd. I find that is the most convenient. Other than that, you can try asus webstorage.

Not vidyas, ebooks, actually. Any idea why the connection is so useless though? If a micro sd is more stable then I could pick one up but I'm wondering what's up with it as is? Didn't really want to do the webstorage thing so much but I'll check it out too.
I just transferred 17gb of data with no issues.
I only have issues transfering data via wifi. All copy attempts to transfer a 2gb+ filevia network cancel immediatly. No problems via usb so far.
Well I'm thinking the issue may be with the contents of the file I've been trying to upload. I uploaded a 5gb video file this morning very quickly with no issue whatsoever.

How are yall getting MTP to work so quickly it takes forever for me to upload anything from my pc (usb 3.0 ports or 2.0 ports) via MTP i tried transferring 8gb of music the other day came back after an hour and still no where near completion, i know once we get Mass storage hacked into the kernels itll go alot faster but there has to be a better way right now.
(micro sd atm seeems to be the fastest way (transferred 8gb music in under 15 minutes)

So I picked up a micro sd today and problem is solved. Just to add to this, I easily and quickly uploaded a 5gb video file this morning without issue. So I'm still not sure why I can't transfer the original successfully.

I hv transfer large files also, no problem.
No issues with file transfer via usb or wifi. I did notice though, that if you use ES File Explorer, it does not complete the transfer. Some of the file explorer apps don't work with large files very well over wifi with ICS. I just tried some of the highly rated ones until I found one that I liked. Frequently transfer large files to and from my TFP with no issues. Just pulled a 10Gb+ BDrip of avatar onto it to take on the road yesterday. Copy took several hours but completed with no issues.
Title says it all. I can't download any large apps, download from the browser. I can sideload my apps straight from google drive. I need a physical SD card to download files from the internet, and to download large apps, like VOEZ. Moving on, there is another issue I have with my unit. USB. I plugged it into my computer many times, and it just never finds it. I was once able to look at the files on the device with ADB enabled, but when I opened up a Windows VM (I run Ubuntu) and fired up Kingroot but could not find it, so I unplugged, and plugged it in again, only to lose the data connection over USB, and only charged from then afterwards. After this, I knew that the USB port was perfectly OK, so there was no damage or any issue to the port itself. When I had this phone as my sole daily driver before I had switched to my iPhone, it was neglected heavily (by me) because of these abhorrent issues that drove me insane. I now want to put some life back into this thing by rooting it, which was my goal from day 1 when I had gotten it, but these issues made such practically impossible. So, with the ramble out of the way, can someone find a way to fix this this internal storage and USB issue? I'd love to give it a chance once again. Oh, and I got this phone for free from a "government lifeline" program, which has its Androids completely restricted in a way where rooting is hard to achieve, but possible.
Model #: PG86100
Before this phone, or even my 6 Plus, I had a N5, which now has a broken display/speaker ZIF connector on the mainboard. I just wanted to point out that this was not my first android, and would really love to relive the days that I had with my N5 before it died.
Hi guys, having serious issues here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction to resolve them.
In all 'Smart Phones' I've had including the S3, S5, S7 etc I've been able to copy the entire contents of the internal storage to the external SD card or my Desktop PC with no issues at all, but on this S9+ It gets about half way through copying then stops, the 'copying' dialogue just disappears. I've tried in normal powered on mode, booting into TWRP and all result in the same problem, it's most annoying, I want to backup the entire contents, reset/reflash the ROM and then copying the internal storage stuff back but it just won't let me, unless I go through the tedious route of copying folder-by-folder...
I thought it might be an issue with my PC but just tried it on my laptop with the same result....
Anyone else having this problem? found a resolution?
Thanks
Are you copying the content via cable or wireless connection? Try switching this, also notice when the process breaks, copying which folder or file, try excluding that as well.
Thanks for the reply, ethernet cable mostly, on a gigabit network, I have tried wifi and that failed too, basically I have about 105 files, mostly folders but a few about 20-ish standalone files (documents etc) obviously the actual file count runs into the thousands, copying always gets to about 55 or 56 out of that 105 then breaks, every single time, I have the same issue going back too, from the PC or SD card to the internal storage, I didn't have this problem on my S7 Edge a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might have been caused by me flashing a debranding firmware (xeu from H3G and back again) but I always flash then factory reset when I do anything like that ( that comes from my old HTC HD2 custom ROM days ) but I've had this issue from day one on the S9+ as there was no root when I got mine I just copied my files over to go unrooted for a while until the Devs plied thier magic, well tried too, as that's when this failure malarky started. This is currently my 2nd S9+ with a 3rd on it's way and will be here on Monday. I've convinced myself that there are some serious hardware flaws on the S9+ and I'm realy hoping someone could say do this, do that and it works....
I guess it could also be Oreo, I have heard rumours that it's not the best Android version to have been released - I'm hoping that one or two of the many very knowledable people on here could help me, if not that I hope the replacement has come from a different batch and is okay, fingers crossed eh?
The Issues I'm having with this device is seriously giving my loyalty-to-Samsung mojo a severe knocking...
