[Q] Read file only system - Milestone 2 General

Hi,
since i have bought milestone 2 i have the similar problem... even now with the newest original rom
the downloading is interrupting almost every time, browser have never downloaded bigger file than approximate 20 mb and even opera mini doesnt work well with downloading
since i have got the fasterdownolader app it says me sometimes that the problem is system file read only (null)... or something like that, but i am downloading strictly on the sd card which is weird... so doesnt anybody know where could be the problem?
I have rooted rom with 1-click rooter
Sometimes it helps me to mount and umount sd card, but sometimes it doesnt.
The only app without downloading problems is dropbox
can i do something with the sd card to makes it work better? (for example)

I could be wrong but I believe it is more so to with with mobile internet in general being too unstable and some of the sources you download from don't work very well with it. This problem is most common with file sharing sites for myself, ones that don't support resuming downloads. Little bumps and resets in the connection (although you are not aware they happen) cause it to stall and then it simply wont resume. I've seen it happen on phones of friends etc, and even had it happen downloading over wireless hotspot on my laptop.
Some games with in app downloads will be very hard to download over my data connection and I only end up wasting nearly 1gb of my cap only to have 3 failed downloads halfway through, then it is seemless on wifi when I get home.

If you need a good download test side ... I always use the new release of ubuntu ... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
And if you want to make sure it is not your mobile internet connection ... did you have the same problem with WLAN and downloads?
Just some ideas ... maybe it helps!

Thank you both for help
Finally I have got the answer, my main problem is SD card bigger than 8 GB
Since i have the 16 gb' card I have problems with reading and writing data on it
Mount and Unmount card is my daily routine, because even MortPlayer has a problem to play a music sometimes

Have you read this post?

I have and it did solve my problem I forgot to note it here
but thank you very much, it is sometimes hard to be a muggle and to find a solution only by yourself
Even with newest gingerbread my new 16 gb's sd card freezes repeatedly...
but to replace the dll's did helped me (hopefully)
so here it goes

Data vanishing from SD Card

Hi everyone.
Hope someone can shed some light on this, I have a Kingston 512MB SD card for my XDA2, contained on the card are maps for TomTom Nav2, MP3's and a couple of movies.
I have not done a HR in a few weeks and only a few SR's, yesterday I wanted to navigate and use TT and all the data on the card had disappeared. Has anyone experienced this b 4? Any help would be mush appreciated.

Dissapearing data from SD card.
Hi,
I had this before on a 256MB card with maps on it. I reinstalled the maps and then hardware locked the card only moving opening this up on the occasion I need to move stuff to it. Mine wiped right when I needed the navigation system so I always keep it locked down now. I know it's not an answer but it saves a long and slow re-install.

I'm also getting my 256MB SD Card(PNY) erased/corrupted, sometimes I have multiple entries for my storage card! This always results in losing everything on the SD. I've tried all the romkitchen versions of 2003 and get the same results. Plus I've noticed running the SD-Backup appears slower, taking 1h 10mins for 12MB. Someone must have a clue whats causing this.
XDA I (Wallaby)
32MB RAM
OS ROM 4.01.16
Radio 4.21.00
SD data disappearing
I have experienced the same problem on XDaII and completely lost the data.This despite a back up I lost many holiday pics and movies.
Q I use "Pocket Explorer" to move jpg & video files onto the SD, they appear to be there but then they dissappear. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
never had that happen on my 2 sd cards both sandisk and 1 128 and the other 256

Storage Card Problem - Not Showing UP

I just transferred some cabs and was in the middle of transferring music over to my ppc when all of a sudden it mentioned that I had inadequate space. So I opened up file explorer and it brought up the items on the storage card, including stuff transferred pre-music. I tried running one of the cabs, no avail. I figured I would soft-reset and see if that woudln't fix it. Well, now it won't show up under the memory tab and I am currently trying to run it on my pc. No money.
I guess, am I looking at a dead mem card or should I try anything to revive it?
Any help here?
You need to see if the card can be read by your pc via a card reader. Try your card in another phone or camera if you can. Also good to know what rom you have as this kinda error is more common with the older roms. Good chance your card has an error and will need to be reformatted - backup any data if you can. Reformat to fat - preferably on the device using storage tools or sktools - google for them.
meschle:
I used the adapter to try to load it up on my pc. No dice, freezes up file explorer a little bit and asks me to insert device into slot. Should I try loading it on another device? I'll load up storage tools and see if it can't find anything. I'm thinking I should look into another card, though but wanted to see if there wasn't anything I couldn't do to spare myself the money - college students get really touchy about money, you see.
On the subject, I'm looking at a $40 card from OEM - anyone have/know anything about these cards?
Thanks a lot for even responding though. I get really antsy when something ill happens to an expensive device of mine.

Try loading on another device - people have had success popping them in cameras - use an sd adapter and try that.

Nexus one maximum transfer speed (using all methods)

hi, so ive been experimenting with transfer speeds to the SD-CARD with my nexus one.
so far i managed :
2mb/sec using the stock USB cable, with eclair, same with froyo stock kernel.
via WiFi tether and connecting a laptop to it, transfering files via FTP server on the android device
1.5-2mb/sec on froyo tethering
using the wifi tether app on eclair, around 600kb/s (fail? or maybe some cyanogen issues)
i recently upgraded to a CLASS6 transcend 16gb sdcard
yet the results are the same.
i tried a few SD-CARD testing apps, all results were around 2mb/s
is this some sort of hardware/software limitation?
did anyone get passed 2mb/s?
in theory my card should reach 6mb/sec write speeds.
so im hoping we can share our experiances.. and maybe come to some conclusion on whats going on, and finally put these issues to rest.
So you're trying to do what? You're on cellular, wifi, tethered, SD card speeds.....
I don't get the point.
If you're wanting to benchmark your SD card, maybe this program? I haven't tried it yet, just finally thought about searching. http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/performance.test/
You say "mb" which isn't correct for anything (unless you really mean "millabit"). Do you mean megaBIT (Mb) or megaBYTE (MB) / sec ?
I just ran several tests from this Vista PC using ADB Push to the SD card (a 16GB Class 6), and I see 9-13 megabit/second or 1.1 - 1.3 megabyte/second rates, at file sizes from 10 to 25 MB.
This is a Vista work PC, running around 40 applications, Symantec AV and Firewall and all manner of other crap. If I think about it, I'll pound out a test from a real computer later.
lol Why are you people giving him such a hard time ?
He wants to figure out the fastest transfer speeds. Who gives a crap about Mb Mb MB or benchmarking his SD.
N1 transfer speeds are slow regardless of the SD card. Im not sure why.
I would like to know if file transfers over USB , or Wifi result in faster transfers.
I think the OP is wanting to do the same thing.
Using the Websharing or FTP via Efile sometimes gave me better results than USB.
lol yea be gentle guys. But yea I remember reading that it's always gonna be slower using USB and Phone, it's better to take your card out and use a reader. It's usually at least 2 times faster when I take my SD out and use a reader

Those are just a few of many more, I am sure.
But none of the the existing Nexus One SD card threads are worded like " Nexus one maximum transfer speed (using all methods)", so lets just add this one to the pile please.

Thanks for the post, regardless of the patronizing of others... I've wondered the same thing as I've only gotten 2mb/sec going through the USB mount in android. I thought something was wrong with my computer so I've tried both pc and mac with the same speeds. I thought it was my memory card so I plugged it directly into a card reader and got 4x's the speed...
My main reason for wanting this to be fixed or acknowledged is for sync'ing music through programs like Salling Media Sync. It seems to me a wifi alternative would be faster even at 802.11g if it's related to the USB interface... let me know what you find I'm curious...
My wife's transfer speed was 3.6 on the stock SD card...
I have a class 6 and speed is under 2
I try to switch cards later and see if my class 6 goes faster on her N1
I too have never seen faster than 2mbish, even when i upgraded from stock to a class 2 8gb, and then to a class 6 16GB

Extremely Slow USB Transfer Speeds

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?

Problems with USB and synching

I often have problems when I want to copy data on the phone or get it from the phone on the HDD. It works in general but often it justs hangs and then I have to restart the phone which only shows "synchronising" and doesn#t do anything anymore. Another thing not working very well is accessing data (photos or videos) directly from the sd card. I often get errors when trying to do this. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Now I got a message while copying data "device not working anymore"... What's wrong here?
You can try using a different USB cable or trying a different SD card. I think based on your post it's probably a card going bad.
Hm, it's a class 10 card, h igh quality, worked fine in my HTC desire...
