Hello all,
today I found out something strange. If I copy some files via WLAN to the mobile storage the speed is at 1500 kb/s. But if I copy the files to the storage card the speed is between 200 and 700 kb/s.
How can that be?
What class is your SD card?
I have a SanDisk 16 GB card. If I copy files via USB to the card I am at 3 MB/s. So that cant be the reason, I think.
copying over usb when in active sync mode Is lots slower than having the phone connected in hard disk mode.it isn't just doing a simple transfer in active sync mode. I get roughly 5 times faster speeds in hard disk mode than in active sync.
I've noticed this as well. My polaris was the same, i think i have a class 4 or class 6 card. It might just be wifi signal strength?

Thats right, but. In this thread I am talking about WLAN.

No, that cant be. If you copy the files via WLAN in your mobile memory, the speed will be at 1500 kb/s. But if you copy the files to the memory card it will be between 200 and 700 kb/s. But the signal strength is the same.

You should find that in disk mode the speed jumps up to a few mb/s.
it is caused because when you active sync files it won't run the USB bus at full speed.
However, you are talking about the internal memory vs the sorarge card, right? In which case it is because the internal flash memory is way faster than the sd card. thats why programs installed to internal memory start faster than those installed to mem card.

Hi all ,
My work computer do not permit install Activesync, so I use a bluetooth adapter to transfer data to PDA .
My question it is possible to change the destination directory to storage SD card?
Every time the data goes to "my documents" in the the main memory.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
have a nice day

Yow! we have related problem here. Why developers ignore this? I think this is somehow a major problem. It's a good thing that you can transfer your data to your PDA via bluetooth without a problem. Nweiz, I have a problem right here, for example, you have to download a data using bluetooth which is above 10mb but your storage (which is the buffer zone of the data) is below 10mb, the data now is unable to complete the download. I suggest that the buffer zone can be the RAM disk which is unremovable (unlike the SD Card) so you can download higher quantity data and then you can transfer it in your SD Card later. but i don't know how to do it or what 3rd party software i must install?
Please help! Tnx!
Hello,
I'm using egress to download podcasts over wifi or usb connection to computer. In either case it is take a very long time to download. 10-15 minutes per 25mb file. I have them download directly to storage card. The card is not bottle neck as I frequently whip large files to it through my card reader on the pc.
Are there any suggestions as to how I might speed up these downloads? On my axim the same podcast from the same server downloads in a minute or two.
Thank you!
Josh

Sounds like you just answered your own question. AFAIK, nobody has been able to speed the USB connection to a storage card. It's hell. Period. WiFi should be better, but not dramatically so. Your best bet remains ejecting the card and loading it up that way. It's so much faster, I don't know why anyone would bother with another method. (Of course, it helps that I have an SD chip slot built into my lappy.)
Hi people,
I have a problem.
Since I installed the official WM 6.5 portuguese rom last week, the data transfer speeds from pc to TD2 decreased a lot!
It takes about 9 hours to transfer 250MB to TD2 memory card through the USB cable!
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any option I have to connect / disconnect to increase the data transfer speed?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Greetings from Portugal

Are you using disk drive mode, or ActiveSync mode? The former is much quicker. You need to check your connection options in case it defaults to ActiveSync without prompting.
It's slow both ways.
It asks everytime I connect which mode I want.

How about temporarily disabling antivirus, disk defragmenter etc? Maybe they started up coincidentally. Check what is happening in Task Manager when you transfer files.
Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work either.
Any more ideas?
I had the same problem after using for a while udK Leo R5 WM6.5, at first it woked well, then slowed down, then couldn't see my SD card anymore . Actually this happens with almost every WM6.5 I tried. I reported this issue dozens of times, going to do it once again in udk ROM related thread, with no hope. Back to my old beloved TomTopaz WM6.1 !!
I plug in my phone to my computer and ut charges but it wont connect to computer through DISK DRIVE WTF... I RESET IT TWICE AND NOTHING... ITS NOT CORD OR PHONE CUZ IT CHARGES...
when you plug it in to your PC in a mass storage mode the memory card is locked
the phone acts as a thumbdrive so you can drag and drop files onto your sd card.
theres a prompt that AKSs?(asks) you what mode would you like to connect.
either sync or mass storage.
every phone does it same btw.
Two possibilities-
1. Your card may have gotten corrupted. It's a fairly common occurrence and it will cause your phone to not be able to read it. Plug it into the PC via a card reader & see if you can see any files on it. If it takes an unusually long time for your comp to see it, or if all you see are wierd files with numbers as names, then its corrupted. Even if it loads fine, it wouldn't hurt to reformat it anyway just for the sake of maintenance. I suggest formatting it as fat32 with 64k allocation unit size for the best read speed.
2. Your settings on the phone are incorrect. Go to settings>system>connections>USB to PC and make sure the disk drive option is enabled, and that the "ask me first about USB connection type" option is checked.
If neither of those fixes it, back up your data & try a hard reset. If that STILL doesn't fix it, then your card is dead.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had had issues during transferring data using usb from pc to the device. Generally when I transfer multiple files after about 10MB I'll get a failed transfer on the PC then the device will turn off after 30 seconds. I have tried 2 memory cards and 2 cables as well. I havent tried another PC but I have tested the same files to an older phone and memory card. Last resort I can reset the device as I have yet to tamper with root and bootloader unlock.
Anything???
No, i have moved files larger than 1G without any problems
try using another pc/laptop to be sure its the phone that's the problem and check the back cover is on 100%.
i had problems for hrs until i realized the case was not on proper lol
