Hey there!
It's come to my attention that my XDA Mini S is horrifically slow at saving office documents to the storage card... I bought a 2GB storage card recently that seems to be working fine, apart from this little issue.
It would take up to half a minute or more for example, to save a 47kb pocket word document. When I do the same editing with a file on the internal memory it can be near instantaneous. With Excel it's even worse!
I tested the read/write speed of the card and it came out with a read speed of about 7.0x and a write speed of... something like 0.02x??
That's horrifically slow! A friend's card scored 5x and 2x respectively. However writing to the card normally doesn't seem to be so sluggish either, using the PC (with MiniSD<>SD adaptor) or the phone itself.
Any ideas??

Hey all.
Does anyone have any tips to improve file transfer speeds. I recently bought a 2gig memory card and have been loading it with mp3s but it's painfully slow.
I thought WM5/activesync 4 was usb 2.0 compatible, but my transfer speeds are only 3Mbps which seems very slow.
Is this the same for everyone or do I have a problem of some sort
Thanks
Use a card reader or the software card export.

I'm facing a weird problem for O2 xda neo. while the picture files are saving in storage card, the picture distorted. Not only the pictures but also the video files. But when the files are saving in the main memory every thing is fine. At first I thought it was the camera problem. But after cheking I find that this problem occuers when I want to save the files in my kingston 1 gb sd memry card.
Can an body tell, what might be the problem? and whats the solution? i got hte neo only before 2 months ago. and now i'm having this problem. Is there any tweak can be done as a solution or do i need to change the card?
i'm uploading one picture so you can unederstand the problem.
Did you try another storage card instead?If you did so,does the problem still exist?
Cheers
Do you have the standard budget Kingston SD Card?
At best performance it can only offer
- Up to 5MB/sec. read rate
- Up to 1.5MB/sec. write rate
it is a very slow card, maybe it is too slow for video and photographic performance.
I don't know the minimum standards required, but as I use SAT NAV a lot, I thought it would be better in the long run spending a couple of extra pounds on a high speed card.
As such everything I run on the card, runs great.
NewSPV,
which SD write speeds to you actually get on XDA ?
I observe about 10x worse speeds on XDA than laptop...

Hi
I don't know my actual speeds on the SPV, but I bought a card rated
- Up to 20MB/sec. read speed
- Up to 9MB/sec. write speed
I thought I would need a fast read speed in order for the SAT NAV to keep up with the car at high speeds.
As I said, I have no problems running anything on the card.
hello again,
one of my friend has XDA neo, I tried with his memory card and it was okey with the capturing picture. No prb. So I think it might be the prb with my card. I found that its not a SD card, rather its a miniSD of Kingston. Except for the pictures, all other operations are going fine. Yesterday I bought another 2GB SD card(this time no miniSD), and it works fine for the camera, saving the pictures.
Thanks for all yours reply, these help me to know the speed issue of cards.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? It takes an hour for my to transfer 1 GB of data. The same folder took only a few minutes to transfer between my Droid and X2.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe it's a hardware problem?
16GB TF/Prime 1.4
Same problem here (Prime 1.4).
Does someone know how to have a faster usb connection (1h for 2Gb)
Thxxx

I just did a quick transfer speed test by copying a 286MB file
Copying to the internal storage took 25 seconds (transfer rate : 11.4MBps)
Copying to a class 2 , 8GB microSD card took 45 seconds (transfer rate : 6.35MBps)
At those speeds a 1Gig should not take much longer than 1min 30sec to the internal memory and 2min 41sec to a Class 2 micro SD card (which is like the slowest speed you can expect from a micro SD card these days), unless you are moving thousands of tiny files, in which case it will take longer, but even then I doubt it should take 1hr.
P.S: 16GB TF running stock 3.1, connected to a Windows 7 32bit laptop
was your dock battery low when you tried to do this? could explain why it took a while.
Or don't use the dock at all? I never tried transferring anything while docked, didn't seem like it would've worked, but I guess it does work.
I still don't have my dock :-(
I tried to remove AVG and made a reset but still same problem.
I will try tomorrow to install the Prime 1.5 maybe this will help
Thx
Or you can transfer via wifi. Lightning fast =)

Perhaps, if the folder had video files, you selected the option to transcode the video.

I only get 750KBps when copying files over wi-fi using ES File explorer; and I don't think you can expect anything above 1.0~2MBps when transferring from one wireless device to another wireless device on a wireless G network. That is still more than 10x slower than USB. What method are you using ??
Are you copying only one single big file or many smaller files..the speed normally drops significantly when copying huge amount of smaller files..
either way, one hour for 1Gb seems absurdly long....have you tried the stock rom?
It's not quite as daft as it sounds this. When I briefly had a S5 and was trying to speed the thing up I ran a tester app which showed my SD card was capable of faster data transfers than "internal SD." Now I don't know if the note 3 has the same sort of setup but would an app be slower on the external SD as you'd expect, or if there's an advantage to moving stuff to SD aside from making more room for stuff.

It's generally faster on internal memory due to the lag of retrieval from external but not sure now with these new high speed cards. Would depend if the hardware on the Note 3 has the ability to utilise the actual speed of the sd card and the type of formatting the sd card has....
Hi all,
What's the maximum speed the Note 3 can read and write to its expanded micro sd card?
As just got a Samsung 64Gb Pro and I'm only getting 20mb/sec read and write. The card is supposedly be 90/80 read/write.
Thanks

Reading should be fine... but writing seem to max out 20mb/s - so you're getting the average/max speed, but you will notice the file type and size will have impact on speeds. I've seen upto 34mb/s on some mp3 or image files, but otherwise speeds hover around 20.
Wish knew that before right? Could have saved some money on getting a slightly slower sd card, but if you use a good card reader (yeah you have to remove the sd card) you will get your max speeds.
