Copy files from internal storage to PC - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm tryin to copy the files from the internal storage of an Xperia SP (I copied the SD card file with no problem) but it takes forever (with USB cable)
I tried several methods but I really can't copy something more than 1MB.
I know it's an android problem but is there a way to copy those files easily and fast?

Can you not expand your internal storage, and drag and drop the files to PC? That's how I do it and they copy quickly.

YEs, I can see the files but it's VERY slow, even to open a folder or copy 20MB file.. Now I'm tryin to copy all the internal memory files into the sd and then copy them on my PC through the other protocol available on the Xperia. Not MTP, the other one, which allow to access only the SD (i don't know why) but it's very fast

Using ADB is fast method. But if you are new to this, you will have to learn how to install sdk and all stufs to make adb run

[Q] how to write on micro SD card?

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a dum question but i cant figure out what the issue is. I have a 4gb micro sd card in my Vegan Gtablet. I can go into es explorer and see the sdcard 2. I have been able to create a folder in that sdcard 2. When i take it out the folder is gone so i know that is the place i need to be. Anyways When i try to move media files from sdcard to sdcard 2. It gives me a error and wont move it. What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?
Any help would be great. Thx.
have you tried using Root Explorer to make the folder r/w? I'd like to understand the difference between the sdcard and the sdcard2. I have my gtab (vegan) mounted currently to my pc, and i see sdcard as empty and sdcard2 with files, but when i had no card in, the sdcard had the contents and sdcard 2 was empty.... Anyone have insight on these folders?
sd card2 issues
I am also running vegan on my gtab. my computer can not see sdcard2 (external card) but I can transfer files to it via usb drive using adao file manager. when I shutdown my gtab the files dissapear. Is there a fix that will allow us to use the sdcard2? Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
I went and used root explorer and gave me error that its a read only system. Im trying to move media files from my built in gtab memory to the micro SD card? How can this be done? Help !!!

There should be a button at the top of the file list to change from RO (Read only) to RW (Read Write) file systems.
When i went into Sdcard 2 no such option. When i went to Sdcard there was. When i went back and held down on SDcard 2 and went to permission that is where i got the error.
Did you format the micro sd card correctly? I had some problems and then formatted it on my PC to FAT32 (make sure you back up your files on the card beforehand to your PC) and all was ok. I can transfer files to it via es file explorer or Astro.
vcs11 - your computer won't show your micro sd (sdcard2), only the internal storage. Disappearing files on sdcard2 seems to be pretty common. For a solution search the forum for ".nomedia" file.

Can't copy from SD to External SD

I have a SGS2 with Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2.Besides the 16GB internal memory I have a 4GB microSD card also.My problem is that I can't copy images/videos or any files at all from the internal memory to my external memory.I have tried with 3-4 File managers so I know the progam isn't the problem.
Oh and by the way, no error message occurs.It shows that it is transfered (the loading bar fills) but nothing hapens.My only solution is to copy files from internal to pc through cable and then from pc to external through cable.All this with mass storage mode.To much time for something so simple.
Is there a solution?
I have the same question
Copied from external to SD trough ASTRO, but the content copied dissapaired.
Can you copy between the two phone drives in windows explorer without copying to PC first .

I've tried it using Root Explorer and it works fine. I'm on stock ROM, just rooted it - nothing more.
I found that some file explorers had this copying issue. One that always works for me is Ghost Commander.

search on here for "sdcard fix kitkat", google have farted around with permisions

Thinking of upgrading sd card...does FAT allow more than 4GB on new standard

what is the typical file size for a typical file
ALSO can I simply copy and paste from the old to the new sd card, if some apps function off my external (ie cloud services) and expect programs to recognize all my data on my external card no problem?
Or is organizing, cleaning up syncs (ie maybe permissions change with a new card) a longer process than that?

Not sure but your apps on sd card not surely gonna be copied unless you copy the .androidsecure folder from sd which is hidden on Media and Camera usb modes. You can copy it by using UMS mode.
It can be changed using an app but it requires root. On very old devices this is the default mode. all your data are likely to be preserved. BUT IF CAUSE OF ANY OR ALL DATA LOSS, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. And, plus don't copy from sd to sd. copy from sd to pc and from pc to sd. Better if you use a card reader which is also gonna show you the .androidsecure folder removing the need of anything. HIT THANKS IF I HELPED
or am i misunderstanding your question?
So your saying as long as I copy the hidden folder I'm good?
Also what Android version are you talking about? ICS file system VERY different from 4.1.2 and Kitkat
