Hey, I've been trying to transfer some movies to my tab and it doesn't seem to be working. The windows explorer crashes when I drag over file. Any help?
Thanks in advance

The only way I could do it easily was to buy the USB adaptor and transfer via USB. This works fine for me and transfer is pretty quick. Just drop the required files you want in the relevant file directory on the tab.
I couldn't get any data transferred via WIFI or Kies so gave up and the USB transfer works fine for me. You may want to pay for the Diceplayer app though as I found the stock player had audio/video synching problems in some files.
I use an app called/ WIFI FILE EXPLORER/,to transffer everything from my pc or HD2 WM 6.5!! to my SGT.never fails and very easy.

+1 for this. Never had any problem. Are your files too big for the OS? I'm not sure what the limit is, but can you split the files up?

Transfering movies - transfer rate
Hi everyone,
First time ever in a forum so hope i am doing this right.
Bought a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, all is good but when i transfer videos from my laptop it says i should convert for proper play back on my tab.
The issue I have is that transferring files takes like 1 hour for a HD movie and for example breaking bad 800 mb takes about 20-30 minutes.
I am just dragging and dropping from my laptop to the movie folder of my tab.
I have searched the net and many say the Kies and allshare of Samsung are a no go..
So my question is this normal transfer rate?
Do I need to install another application on my laptop or tab to be more sufficient?
Thanks
Nash
What about using SwiFTP on the tab to start an FTP server? Then use Filezilla FTP client on the computer and sign on to the FTP server. Then just transfer everything over?
Get File Expert from Android Market (free). You can then tranfer files from PC/Mac to the Tablet via your web browser.
File manager HD is pretty good for copying files over wifi.

I have usb cable as part of charger, so I can unplug this cable and use it just as usb cable.
Otherwise I am transferring data with my own app Local Sync which synchronizes Outlook, but has powerfull file synchronization with transfer resumes, md5 verification, etc.
Without any app it should be possible if you install Samsung USB drivers and disable usb debugging mode in tablet, which is activated by default - just drag and drop files between pc and tablet.
I have used Kies wifi and wired and both have worked, but of course via wifi the movie took a looooong time.
I should finally have my usb/sd adapter kit delivered next week so that will be my new way of transfering files.
nice love it

I am confused, (a common state for me when playing with my Tab, unfortunately). My Tab has the 3.2 update and I have no problem dragging and dropping files between my PC and the Tab. I have not installed any USB drivers or disabled USB debugging, at least not that I know of. I am using the stock USB charge cable.
Did the issue with USB transfers go away with the latest release?

So you're using the USB connection? Everything worked fine from the box for me.
This might help you (it's a little bit slower though) - try using File Manager HD, it's really easy to browse and copy stuff from your PC/Mac/laptop/whatever, you can even set bookmarks for easier access

did it... as per your advice... have to try with a bigger file size later
I generally transfer files via FTP. Install something like Filezilla Client on your PC and then a FTP server like SwiFTP on your phone. Once you're set up it makes wireless transferring very quick and easy.

That's right but you will have to reload the battery before watching your movie
Transferring files using USB is too slow. Even on a 3mb mp3 it asks if I want to copy it because it might not be usable. I press ok and it takes another 20 seconds to copy. So I copied 3gb (took about 15 minutes) of music over to the internal hd and then I get a strange error. I close the window and reopen the drive and see that all the music I just transferred is completely gone. WTF IS GOING ON?!?!
I'm getting so many errors accessing the internal drive, creating folders, and copying files. It's almost as if the internal 32gb is useless... I can't use it unless I want to wait 27 minutes to transfer a 1.5gb movie...
Someone reported the same with accessing microSD from USB connection.
Do you get any pop ups on the computer saying that "This device can perform faster if plugged into a USB 2.0 port"?
Also, can I suggest doing a local file transfer over the WiFi?
it's all due to MTP. it is the transfer protocol of the devil.
why google decided this is what their devices should use from 3.x onwards is beyond me.
google's company motto should really be "one step forward, fifteen steps back."

It's so they can unify app storage with data, apparently:
With the unified storage model we introduced in Honeycomb, we share your full 32GB (or 16GB or whatever) between app data and media data. That is, no more staring sadly at your 5GB free on Nexus S when your internal app data partition has filled up -- it's all one big happy volume.
However the cost is that Android can no longer ever yield up the storage for the host PC to molest directly over USB. Instead we use MTP. On Windows (which the majority of users use), it has built-in MTP support in Explorer that makes it look exactly like a disk. On Linux and Mac it's sadly not as easy, but I have confidence that we'll see some work to make this better.

Although I suppose there's no reason they couldn't offer a special Mass Storage mode that locks out running programs. The link also suggests that the external microSDHC card should support mass storage? I don't have a HC/ICS device to know yet, though.
This whole storage "issu" is so not a big deal at all.
It's that way on every honeycomb tablet and it works okay overall.
Sure maybe it's gonna take a while the first time to transfere all your content to your empty device but once all your **** is inside, you don't use it that much and never for such a big amount of data.
The thing with Android is that you can actually directly download the stuff you want on your tablet, no need to plug it into your computer 95% of the time.

which begs the next question,
How easy is it to set up file transfer over the network between Prime and a Windows PC?
Setting up a network with a windows PC is hard, whatever the other device is.
But aside that I'm pretty sure it's fairly easy. And I think Asus software (myNet) can help you do this (never tried)

It's a Window's feature that has to be installed separately.

I use ES file explorer on N1. I connected it to my Windows PC over wi-fi once and it remembers it. I usually copy files back and forth using my phone only. It is pretty handy.
On prime, I have just installed it but not used it to transfer files, so cant comment on the speed.
DropBox if you're using Windows, SparkleShare if you're not.

+1. After my Prime charging cable fell apart when i tried to unplug it, I had to resort to network transfers and ES file explorer did the job rather painlessly. The only little hurdle I had to jump over, and this might have been user-error on my part, but it asked for a username and password to the machine I was trying to connect to. So I had to add a password to my user account which previously did not have one to get it to connect.
Same here. ES file explorer is great stuff. Just put in the needed IP address for your PC + username/password for the user account, and it gets you in and loads directories pain-free.
I don't intend on connecting my Prime to my PC until a one-click root is in the works =)

Because transfer over WiFi + ES has been significantly faster with every Android device I've ever connected to my laptop.
Besides, I kinda get bored of tired-ole drag n' drop.

swift ftp server on the prime and filezilla client on the pc is fast and straightforward

Loading music is a pain but I can deal with it. I dont have internet I tether everything with my 4LTE verizon at 18MB a sec which Iam loving so much I turned off my home internet just use laptops and this now.

NICE! Using SwiFTP now and it transfers a lot faster than before. Thanks
Easiest way I found was, pop the MicroSD in my PC load it up. Pop it in the prime, use a file explorer and move it over fast and easy.
I wondered if it was possible, so when I connected it, it said cable connected on the phone. I was then able to mount storage like normal. Then in the setting-storage, I saw mount external storage, which then gave me access to the phone SD card. Pretty sweet, can transfer stuff very easily now.
nice find, this will definitely come in handy at times
Sweet, now I can transfer photos from my phone with ease! Great find!
Dropbox or AirDroid can transfer photos (and tons more) with ease & no cables needed

thats because in Android 4 / Galaxy Nexus doesnt mount as a "normal" usb device anymore. it uses the MTP protocol instead, and it mostly sucks ;-)
Doesn't work for me either - HTC Desire HD.

Yup. I can't stand MTP. I want to use Microsoft's Synctoy to sync files between my galaxy nexus and computer, and between my Prime and my computer, but Synctoy doesn't recognize MTP devices. Anyone else have another way to easily sync files on our MTP devices?

there is an awesome app called FolderSync on the Market. It also has a lite version. You can sync via (s)ftp, dropbox and about a dozen other services!
I have it set up so it syncs my photos to my PC when i'm connected to my home network and also to transfer files from a certain folder on my PC to the tablet.

Guys
Sorry if this has been asked before but I got my prime few days ago and i still don't know how to transfer my pictures, movies and music to prime?
When i used to have ipad in the past, i did everything via itunes but now i have prime, its not so easy. Would appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance.

Basically you transfer files like you would to a flash drive.
1. You plug your prime into your computer
2. open it on your computer(look for it like you would look for a flashdrive, if on windows a window might pop up. If it does click "view files" or something)
3. Transfer files by drag/dropping or copy/pasting.
This is the most basic way to directly transfer files. There are many other ways to transfer files such as wireless transfer, but those get a lot more complex.
Hope this helps and if you do want to try one of the other ways just ask and I'll try to help.
Hi cmat
Thank you for your prompt response, i will try it and keep u posted.
I clicked the thanks button for you.
>iTunes
*snigger*
Its just because you don't know how to yet. This is way simpler and faster than iTunes. I know because I have an Ipad also. Its as easy as copy n paste or dragging the files onto prime. Or as simple as transferring from memory to internal memory if you want.
Like me I like to download movies n such straight from the websites. I have the new Underworld movie inside my Prime now

Use DropBox to transfer files.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
1) Plug into you PC with USB Cable and Copy and Paste. This Fastest and Easiest
2) Use Mini SD Card. Copy from PC to Card then from Card to Prime
3) WiFi File Explorer Pro App. Makes your Prime a Sever then Connect to Server IP via WiFi on your PC and Copy and Transfer Files using your PC
4)ES File Explorer App. This will allow you to connect to your Home Network from Prime and File Transfer. It same thing a WiFi File Explorer but you can do all WiFi Transfer from Prime without going to your PC.
5) DropBox as mentioned above

That's pretty much the best order too.
All those options are way better than having to use iTunes.
Hey Guys,
So I guess it is a known issue with AOSP/AOKP Roms that MTP file transfer is not working and you have to use USB Storage mode to transfer files from your PC to your Note --- unless I'm doing something wrong.
Unfortunately, File Transfer is just too slow. I only hit 1.86MB-2.00MB/sec (according to Windows 7). I've tried so many ROMs like AoSPxxx, KingKang, SeraSlim and they display the same issue.
I tried Non-AOSP Roms, which of course, uses MTP - file transfer is so much different. probably 20x faster.
To the Guys who are using AOSP/AOKP ROMS, what method do you use to transfer files to your Note? Do you use a third party app to have a faster file transfer?
I tried wirelessly using File Expert's FTP and it is actually a little bit faster compared to the USB storage mode, but not by much (Wireless FTP transfer is about 3MB/sec)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Remove sd card, put it in an adaptor, and move the files within your pc file manager. Its way faster for moving lots of files at once, including time to shut down and reboot phone.
You said any suggestion welcomed.
Lol ... yup i forgot to mention in my original post ... of course except that

Hmm I tried kies. I think it also uses FTP since the same file I copied using File Expert and FTPServer finished at the exact same time as Kies Air. So it is also around 3.0MB/sec
Is there an app that can utilize file transfers using the USB cable connection instead of wireless?
I guess I must be easy to please. 3mb per second is more than enough for me. That being said, I get approx 5mb through es file explorer ftp
