I enabled developer mode, enabled USB debugging, but I either wont let me copy files at all.. or copies them at a SNAILS PACE, I mean slower than a commodore 64 or something.
Tried on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
To be honest, with the light bleed issue that many devices(including mine) have, and this issue of not being able to transfer files( especially with a 128GB version, whats the point if I cant fill it up?)
I'm starting to wish I never bought this 'Flagship killer killer'.
Can anyone get decent transfer speeds? If so how !?
Thanks

This is a bug... It will be fixed after next update.
I also tried to copy files from internal to otg or sd to otg and getting lag, means screen is not responding untill remove otg. Even I tried to copy from internal to sd and files transfer process is very slow.
Someone told me in this forum that he transfer a file (1gb) from internal to sd card in just few seconds as his mobile runs Miui 10 beta.
So it will be fixed after next update.

Anyone else notice that transferring files is pretty slow when hooked up through USB to PC? Took about 1 minute to transfer a folder of MP3's that is 133mb in size. It only takes a few seconds on my class to micro sd.
I just tried writing to the same micro sd card while it is in the tablet. It said 27 minutes to transfer a 4.3gb folder. When I removed the micro sd and used the adapter it is saying 5 minutes.
Was your microSD card in the Prime when you said it took only a few second or did you plug it directly in your computer without going through the Prime.
Cause I'm pretty sure internal memory should be at least as fast as a microSD but maybe there s an issu with how the files are transfered in PMP mode.
Also you should check with one big file (like a movie) and multiple small file (music/images files for roughtly the same weigh as the movie) and see if it's really the writing speed or because there is multiple files in queue.
I've had the opposite experience. I transferred over a 250mb movie to the prime that went super fast compared to transferring a comparable sized movie to my phone/sd card.
Writing a file to the micro sd card while it was inside the prime was a lot slower than using the sd adapter and transferring it that way.
Writing 4gb video to micro sd while inside prime = 27mins
Writing 4gb video to micro sd using sd adapter and not inside prime = 5 minutes
This is a class 10 PNY. I get 11 write and 21 read on sd test.
Writing 133mb folder of mp3's to prime internal memory = 1 minute.
Writing same folder to sd card using sd adapter = few seconds.
Whenever I connect the prime to my pc through usb it is very slow transferring files. Could it be Asus sync that is slowing things down?
This doesn't happen when transferring to my galaxy s II through usb
When plug into a computer. The prime appear as a media device. You don't have to mount anything. The storage, both internal and external, are readable by the PC and the Prime at the same time.
I know it behave like that with the original TF and that it is also slower than directly plug in the microSd on the computer.
That being said, I don't remember it taking 27 minutes to copy 4go (and I have a class 4 microsd) so I guess there's a problem somewhere.

Could you also check the speed of copying files from internal memory to microSD in your Transformer? That way you will check if the connection to microSD is slow or not.

I actually had like 4gb of music on my micro sd that I wanted to move to the internal hd. So I plugged the prime into my pc (it shows up as a device and I double click it to see 2 drives. One for internal 32gb and one for the micro sd) and opened both drives. I dragged the music folder from the micro sd(inside the prime) to the prime internal memory and it said 17hours to transfer lol. It was insanely slow. I feel like instead of showing up on Windows 7 as a "portable device" it would be better to just show the drives. Like how the drives show up when you plug your phone in and enable usb file transferring. When I open "portable device - Asus Transformer prime", I can only access one drive at a time. If I open the internal hd folder and transfer a file it won't let me open another window to access the micro sd inside the prime. It gives me a message saying the device is busy.
My current desktop setting is i7 920 oc'ed to 3.8ghz, Asus rampage extreme 2 mono, 6gb corsair dominated, dual ati 5870. So I know it's not my pc that is slow lol. It transfers files really quickly to my galaxy s II. It must be something with my prime that is causing it to write really slowly.
HC uses MTP for internal storage, which is substantially slower than UMS when transferring many small files (music) as versus a few large files (video).
Anyone successful in mounting the Primes internal storage on OSX 10.72?
OSX does not see my prime's internal storage or micro SD card at all... Win7 PC seems fine.
Haven't connected my Prime to the macbook yet, but for the first transformer you needed to have the application ANDROID FILE TRANSFER installed on the Mac computer.

perhaps you need to reformat your microSD card to a format class speed that is compatible with Transformer Prime.
After reading this person's Amazon review on a Sandisk 32GB microSD card that I think it is the same type that I purchased from DailySteals I learned something very useful as it relates to the different performance of these microSD cards.
- What is even more useful was a criticizing comment to his review from a poster named AshenTech listed 4th down who explained how you can save money on these priced /performance cards by simply reformatting them and he referenced an SDformatter.

It is extremely slow for me. I can transfer the same music files wirelessly to another device in significantly less time.
I gave up trying to write files through the USB cable. I just use SwiFTP now for all file transferring
Anyone else having extremely slow transfer speeds?? Im seeing usb 1.0 speeds. I've tried switching cables, ports, everything. Here's a screen cap.
how big was the original file? the nook usb cable is known to be a usb 1.0.cable. I've used a usb 2.0 cable and I have noticed speeds increase. if u are tranferring a file that's 1+ GB then speeds will be more or less the same.

I've tried switching to my cable for my Evo but it didn't make much of a difference. The file is about 200mb, nothing huge... For now I'm ejecting the microsd and using a usb card reader but its pretty irritating.
I uploaded 60 Mb and 70 Mb video files fast, but when tried to transfer lot of pictures with all small size, the transfer almost took hours, so I guess the transfer of a big file will do fine, but for lot of small files, will take longer.
What I haven't tried is thru wifi transfer, will update later.
I find it hard to believe that everyone else has the same transfer speeds. Is it possible that its my nook?

You're not the only one - same goes for me 16GB rooted. I mean slow is putting it nicely. It would top out at 2/3 MB/s and fall way below 700kb - eventually settling in at 40-80kb/s. 5 days to transfer 10GB! Now I don't even bother. Just take the card out and put it in my card reader on the PC and transfer. I couldn't do this while I was on holiday however with a laptop with no SD card slot, so it was extremely frustrating.
Same here , but normaly my speed is about 40-80kbit. It takes ages to copy something

Yeah, I bought a usb sdcard reader and use that when I don't have access to my laptop. Or I transfer via wifi with ftp from my home server. It would be nice to find the problem though. Did anyone have this problem pre-rooting their device?
My numbers:
1.4.0 rooted
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 16GB Class 6
Two different "Nook" cables.
Large file (600MB video)
USB - 4.5 MB/sec
Wifi - 3.75 MB/sec
Small files (1-4MB jpg)
USB - 2.5 MB/sec
Wifi - 1.2 MB/sec
My experience has been that if something else is running on the Nook it can slow everything else down.

Define something else. Usually the only thing I have running in the background is andchat.
not sure if this will make a difference but there is an app on the market.. sd card speed booster (or something.. search it) i changed the value from 128 to 1024.. now getting write speed of ~10Mbps while transferring big files via stock cable..
btw i am on cm7.. and i also use teracopy for windows..
Oh yes forgot to mention i have 16gb class10 transcend microsd (ultimate) card
Haha, I only have a class 4 sd card. So that can be some of the issue. I also have started using SwiFTP. I get around 2-3 MB/s transfers with it and I don't have to unplug my nook cable from the wall. So it's a win win sort of thing now.
Same problem. Even if I use the Wifi transfer mode and put data in nook's internal memory or the sd card, the speed never goes beyond 3mbps. :-/
For those that aren't aware, I just wanted to turn you on to Samsung's new Pro series line of cards. These are different than their old Pro line of cards. I bought one of the 64GB cards and it's been fantastic. Only the 64GB model of their new Pro line uses NAND technology. The 16GB and 32GB models in the new Pro series does NOT used NAND technology.
On Samsung's web site: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage-accessories
Here it is at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IVPU88U
Again, this is their new Pro series, not the old Pro series they had. The new Pro series cards are grey and white color. The old Pro series cards are black.
I bought one and use it in my Tab Pro 12.2 - fantastic card. Super fast read and write speeds.
Is this better and faster than the SanDisk micro SD cards? It takes me hours to transfer files sometimes.

It's much better. Also, I'm assuming you mean transfer files from a PC to your card and vice versa? If so, to further enhance speed, be sure you're using USB 3.0 via a USB 3.0 card reader plugged into your PC's USB 3.0 port. If you don't have a USB 3.0 port on your PC, you'll still get slower USB 2.0 transfer speeds but more stable transfer speeds with this NAND-technology card.
Hmmm, I got a Sandisk 64 GB:
http://www.sandisk.co.uk/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-plus-class10-for-android/?capacity=64GB
Transferred 60 gigs in 1h30 (just plugging my tablet into the PC). Was checking it wasn't a fake as it was a very good deal on Amazon, and a lot of the cheaper ones appear to be fakes. With a card reader, I could have theoretically done the transfer in 25 mins (40 MB/s).

OK that model doesn’t have USB 3.0 so yes, you'd need to use a USB 3.0 card reader plugged into a USB 3.0 port on your PC.

I've just realised I can't rename files and folders on the card, whether the tablet is connected to the PC or via ES File Explorer. Is this normal or a problem with the card?
Not normal unless the card is locked in read only mode somehow. If you upgraded at some point to Android 4.4+, the software also removed SD card write access and you'll need to install a workaround for it. The way I fixed mine was to install an app from the Play Store called FolderMount [ROOT]. Install, reboot, check if you can rename files, then uninstall. If your device isn't rooted, there are other options. Just Google "android KitKat SD fix".

Oh it's not in read only mode. I can copy files to the card without a problem. I can create new folders too. I just can't rename anything, it's odd. As for the upgrade, the Tab Pro 10.1 came with Android 4.4... And this card has never been in another device.

Okay, just remembered my Android phone (HTC*Desire HD) has a microSD card. So I swapped them. No problems renaming files of the phone with the 64 gig card. Same problem on the tablet with the phone's card, from ES File Explorer I get "task failed". From the PC renaming hangs Windows Explorer. However, from the computer, I can't even browse folders on the card. Double-clicking on any folder causes Windows Explorer to hang.
I swapped the cards back to their proper places. The 64 gig card I can browse no problem from the PC. I can delete files and folders and transfer new ones. I just can't rename anything. It's very odd. But the extra problems with the 8 gig card from the phone make me worry it might be a hardware issue. My tablet isn't rooted or anything. It's only had the official updates.
I've Googled the hell out of this, tried everything that was posted and it didn't work....
My 3 tablets (Xperia Z2, Note 12.2, LG G Pad 8.3) currently all have a 64GB MicroSDX card, but the tablet I have in my bag with me at all times is the Xperia Z2 runing 4.4.4 and it’s rooted. Here's my issue....my Camera has a 64GB SD Card and the Camera has both WiFi and NFC for easy transfer, but when I'm out and I don't want to drain the Camera battery, I want to take the card out and use my OTG-Cable which has a Card Reader built in and plug it into my Tablet USB Port. The SD card is formatted EXFAT, and my tablet will NOT mount it. So, I formatted the card using a 3rd party Partition Manager to Fat32 (yes, you can format a 64GB card to Fat32), yet my tablets (I tried it on all 3 tablets in my house, one running Android 4.4.4, one running 4.4.4, and one running 4.4.2) will still not recognize it. HOWEVER, my phone running 4.4.4 DOES recognize the card when it's attached via the OTG cable. What am I missing here? Ultimately, I'd like to stay with the EXFAT format because it removes the 4GB File Size limitation (especially if I shoot HD Video). Any ideas? Wireless Transfer from Camera to tablet sucks through battery life, I’m trying to avoid that, and I'm not always at home where I can simply plug the card into my Laptop Card Reader. This is especially important since I’m visiting my dad in Europe this summer and don’t want to lug my laptop with me.
Format the card in the Z2, which automatically formats in ex-FAT.
Try some of the different free 3rd party apps that let you mount usb otg devices from the market. I had this issue with a tablet a couple of years ago and the forth one I tried worked when nothing else did. Sorry I can't remember which app, but different devices will work with different apps anyway.

Can't. The card is a SD card, not a Micro SD. I formatted it in my Computer into EXFat and also in my Camera. Both format it to EXFat, unless I use the third-party partitioning tool to format it into Fat32.

Oops, overlooked that you are using an SD Card.
There is nothing that will work universally, to my knowledge.
Very frustrating, I know. But all those wonderful promises of technology are just that: promises, not guarantees.
I think I may have to use the 64GB card that's in my tablet and use it with an adapter in my Camera, and then just put the card into the Tablet to off-load some pictures. Seems like the path of least resistance, and once they're on the tablet and I've edited them, I can upload them to my G+ account, wipe the card and start all over. It's a hassle but it seems like the best way. Short of buying a Surface Pro at least, or taking my Laptop with me-which is not an option.
I present to you the perfect solution. Bow down before me! Or send me money!

I noticed it too. While using a portable HDD(2 TB) for transferring files, transfer speeds were very low 200-500 kBps but when I used a simple pen drive (32 GB) I was getting standard USB 2.0 speeds around 5 to 9 mBps. A point to know that the HDD I used DIDN'T have any external power and used the power from the usb port for driving itself. Maybe our phone isn't sending enough power through the USB port that's necessary for driving a portable HDD. I don't have any HDD that needs external power to work, so I can't test it. If I can get my hands on one, I'll post the results here.
