I can transfer regular documents and music, but anytime I try to transfer a video my computer will completely freeze. I'm not sure if it's videos or any large file but I'm not sure what to do here. Anybody have this issue?
Try using/getting a better computer?
More I information about "computer" would help. What OS, how much memory, what proc, size of the file, hard drive size etc. otherwise it sounds like someone saying "yeah my car is making this noise" not very specific you know?
-win7-64
-2ghz intel core 2 duo
-4GB ram
-tried files ranging from 200mb to 700mb
Have no problem transferring the same file to galaxy S. Using Kies it doesnt give me the option to "add file to device" or anything.
The tab still shows up as portable device GT-P7510. Cannot get it as a mass storage device.

How do you transfer a movie to the Touch HD and get it to play?
I've got an .avi movie.
1h 32m
647MB
720 x 576
192 kbps
I've tried Syncing it using Windows Media 10.
Only about 5kbs transfers to the phone!?
I've tried copy & pasting via USB but nothing seems to happen.
Looks like it's transfering but taking an age and the progress bar doesn't move!!!
Is the file too big? Does the file have to be converted to another format?
Smaller .avi files play.
Any help here please?!
What playback software are you using?
Hi
When you connect your phone you usually have an option to do only a file transfer and not a sync.
I suggest you select that , then copy and paste your movie file to your microSD card.
I suppose its slow because the phone is syncing and transfering the file at the same time.
Hope This Helps

YUP agreed. All you do is select data transfer after connecting your phone via USB to your computer. Then go to my computer go to mobile device go to storage card then either drag and drop or copy and paste.
You can use a CardReader: in my opinion it is better solution if you must move big files.

Big Thanks to everyone! It was doing my head in!!!
Waiting for your help, I continued to play around with the Touch HD.
Seems that when you connect the HTC Touch HD to the PC via USB, there's an option to choose between...
ActiveSync
Disk Drive
Internet Sharing.
When I tried to look at Mobile Device in My Computer (on the PC), I thought I'd somehow wiped the storage card . Looking again, I'd somehow chosen the Disk Drive option, and then in My Computer, another drive - Removable Disc (L) appeared holding my Touch HD storage card data.
I copy & pasted the movie (.avi) files from my PC hd to the (L) drive and the files transfered in the usual way.
Thanks again to all who took time out to advise. Hope my little guide can also help folk in a similar position!
Hi there,
Currently I'm transferring mkv media files to my device via wifi.....OUCH! I will be 100 before it finishes. Is there a faster way to transfer stuff? Since theres no bloody USB port....
This article is about the galaxy nexus but explains very intelligently how MTP storage works and why google chose to use it. Thought you guys might find it interesting too.

Interesting. But what I would really like explained once and for all is why MTP still limits us to 4GB files, when the file system on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not limited. I routinely encode 720p movies at high bit rate and put 5 and 6GB files onto my tab via Wifi and FTP with no problem. Yet, Kies file transfer won't allow this. And when I uninstall Kies, and use what is supposedly the built in windows 7 MTP protocol, I still max out at 4GB.
Does windows 7 MTP also limit file size to a max of 4GB? Is there ANY way to use MTP to transfer large files. I've heard ADB push works but is very slow - I am amazed that there is still no way to transfer larg files to this thing other than Wifi/FTP.
Hi all,
When I connect my Nexus 7 to my Win7 x64 laptop the system doesn't mount the tablet to a drive letter. It's listed a simply "Nexus 7". I can browse to it, but when I show file details it looks like the OS is thinking everything must be some kind of media (like music files) because the explorer window doesn't show the"modification time". It shows instead Track Number, Artist, Album, Year, Duration.
Thinking it might be Windows Explorer I've also tried Free Commander (a file browser) and get the same results.
Anyone know of a way to get Windows to see the files as something other than music files so I can see all the normal file attributes, especially mod time? The reason I want to do this is I have a bunch of epub files on the tablet and when I get new epubs it's easiest to sort by mod time and compare what's on the tablet vs. what's on my PC and copy all the files newer than the newest file on the tablet. This worked great on my Nook Color, and would love to be able to do the same with the Nexus. Right now it's a real challenge to figure out what I need to copy.
Thanks for any help!
UPDATE: After looking around some more I discovered that Windows 7 is seeing the Nexus as a "Portable Media Player", which is probably why it didn't mount the storage to a drive letter and thinks all the files are some kind of media, thus the file attributes Windows Explorer is showing. So now I guess the question is, how can I get Windows to think this is more than just a media player, and I guess mount the storage to a drive letter like you'd do with a USB flash drive or an external hard drive?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I feel a little foolish about being able to get the mod times on the files. I hardly ever use Windows Explorer so I didn't realize I could just click on the header area where it says "Name, Type, Size, etc.." and simply select "Modification Time". I clicked on that and Voila! the mod times were there for me.
But in the midst of my searching I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774556&highlight=portable+media+player
which had an interesting alternative called AirDroid:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
It allows you to view the files on your Android device via wifi from any web browser on your PC/MAC/etc. I tried this app out and although the transfers were quite slow it's a pretty nifty way to copy files to/from an Android device, and it showed me the modification times!

I have a Shield TV. I attached a 2TB external HDD to this and set it up as internal storage. I then transferred a bunch of movies and pictures to internal storage and set up KODI. Everything was fine up until about a month or so ago. I am not sure when exactly.
I went to view some of the pictures and learned that the folders I had put my pictures, movies and TV shows in are no longer available. I cannot find them in KODI, X-plore, or ES File explorer. I would say they may have been deleted by mistake but it appears that I still have them somewhere based on the amount of storage available. I had used about 1TB. I still have just over 1TB used, which would indicate the files are still there somewhere. My problem is that I cannot seem to find them. I tried plugging the HDD into my windows 7 pc it doesn't recognize it.
Any thoughts on how I can go about finding these files? I do not want to reformat as I know they will be wiped.
I found them. I used the Analyze option on ES File Explore and found them buried in the recycle bin. Along with a number of there needed files and folders.
I am the only person that uses this Shield TV. I did not delete these files and folders. Does anyone have an idea of what may have happened so I can avoid in the future?
