So I was having a few lag issues before but since a factory reset most have cleared up except this one. Every time I use OTG to a flash drive the my files app lags horribly sometimes it freezes all together. Ex I downloaded a video torrent directly to my sd card then I plug in my otg cable and flash drive. It pops up in my files no problem but then when I move file from sd to usb the folders lag when opening, pressing done to move the file lags in opening the progress pop up, then after it copies it take 2-3 sec for the folder to refresh and show the contents on usb drive. Also if I try to rename a file that is already on the usb takes forever to pop up the rename box and after its renamed takes a few to refresh contents of folder again. I've tried two flash drive and an external hdd all formated exfat by the phone. Is anyone else experiencing this or maybe have a solution?
This has been an issue with all android phones I've had. The best way around this is just to change and move files internally from the phone itself or drag files onto the computer then back onto the phone after renaming. It's a problem with Mac as well as PC
I never had this problem with my note edge or s6 edge+. I don't own a pc anymore since I've started using otg. I download the video files on my phone, otg them to drive, and plug drive in to my TV. I've been doing this for last 4 gens of Samsung phones and have never had a problem before. I create all my folders, rename, and move files back and forth between phone and drive with no problem. Do you think it has something to do with using external sd over internal? On my note and s6 I used my internal for downloads but with only 32gigs on s7e and the file sizes getting bigger and bigger my 128gb sd card is my only option.

Can you suggest a Good Quality OTG wire
& also a 128gb Usb Flash Drive which is very very fast
Thanks
I use the Samsung brand one,picked it up at bestbuy a few phones ago. I've never had any issues with it. The s7 also comes with one but I haven't tried it yet. As far as flash drive any reputable brand should be fine your not gonna get usb 3.0 speed from the phone over OTG.

ok.
my SDCard is ****ed, basically. i thought a good old format would do the trick but i was sadly mistaken.
it can read and display pictures, but cannot display thumbnails.
it shows mp3 files in file managers but wont play them in any music player.
will sometimes let me copy files from the card to the computer but not the other way round.
files cannot be deleted from the card at all.
and now the strangest one, it seems to be unaffected by a complete format.
the format finishes, i can then open up the card (which now shows as empty) from the computer and move files to it, so i eject it and remount it and low and behold everything's there again except for the files i put on after the format.
i don't know what to do as i can't really do much without an SD card =/
anyone got any ideas?
same. mine's been corrupt for a while now with reformat only making it work for a few hours/days.
i'm not sure if this is the crappy card that came with it or the g1's fault...has there been many cases of this?
i'm just buying an 8gb microsd from microcenter for $20 in the next week...i'll deal with my current one until then.
Just buy a new one, its not like they're expensive.
My brand new 8 GB Kingston MicroSD(HC) simply refused to cooperate - The G1 never saw anything I wrote to it on my computer - the computer never saw anything saved by the camera to the microSD. To boot, it even only reported as < 500 MB on the G1. Using the HP USB mem tool (http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197) I came to the point where the G1 saw 4 GB, but still no way to transfer anything to or from the computer.
Finally, I found this http://rivviepop.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/fix-your-g1-android-messed-up-sd-card/ (requires Linux) that solved the situation. Now both my computer and G1 sees all of the card, and what's on it.Phew!

Not sure what's happening. I was trying to move a 1gb file to my Sd card from my laptop. The phone goes berserk. It freezes then wont start up while the file was transferring. Then it restarts and goes to main unlock screen the restarts again. I cant seem to transfer files unless they are below 200mb. Is there something wrong with the SD card?/
Also a few times it starts off as a fast transfer but then 75% done it slows down to a point where it transfers less than 1mb/sec
Is this a persistent issue? If you are bricked, the only advice I can give is get a decent quality sd card reader (preferably bundled with a micro sd to sd card adapter). I can recommend one. Actually I have yet to try editing my sd card directly - just a best guess.
Also you might try different means of transfer. Three examples are a) mounting phone as hard drive on computer and copying (which I presume you are doing already). b) dropbox c) adb push mega.mp4 /sdcard/mega.mp4
Hi All,
I've searched the forums and I'm unable to find a resolution to my problem.
I'm having horribly slow transfer speeds from the computer to my Atrix internal SD card. I am transferring about 7GB of music from my 64-bit Win7 PC and status says about 4-hours. Used to only take a few minutes on my Captivate.
I've tried formatting the internal card, re-flashing back to stock, different USB ports on the PC, etc all without any luck.
Any ideas before I completely tear my hair out?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: When the internal SD gets mounted, Windows is slow to find the drive and list its contents. The 2GB external that I have in the phone comes right up.
Wow. No idea. Iwas quite surprised at how fast toshiba emmc is. What speeds are you getting btw? Oh, i do know one thing possibly. Do you transfer files a lot? Flash memory has a limited life, though many of us never see flash die or start to die. But if you do these types large file tansfers, 7gb often, youre using up write cycles much quicker. Also, the folder youre transferring to is about 12 gigs right? Say you have 4 gigs of stuff in their already, and youre trying to put 7 gigs in, more than likely youre transfer speed will be slowed down. You need space to actually to fill stuff up, and the more space, the faster you can fill it up. I wish i could be a little more detailed. I know about this from solid state drives, and the concept is basically the same, but works a little different. I dont know if that is your problem though.
I voided my warranty.

Take the SD card out of the phone and put in the adapter. Try measuring speeds via adapter. Your SC card might be dying.
His internal card.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, when you format an SD card it asks you for the amount of "bits" you want to format it with. I would research which number is best suited for your particular SD card depending on how big it is. Cause the standard number it automatically inserts may not be the best.
edit: ignore post. For some reason when I read it, my eyes saw external SD card instead of internal. Derp and Derp.
Which of the four (well, three) USB modes are you using to do the transfer?
In case anyone runs into issues like I did, please read the following...
I have a T-Mobile Note 4, running Official CM12.1 Nightlies (had same issues on TouchWiz junk), and a MicroSD to SD converter ribbon running the PNY 256gb card. In case anyone asks, I have the Hyperion 8000mAH extended battery which is where I acquired the room for the full size SD and cable (after trimming the left side of the board where the SD card reader is mounted). I attached a picture for anyone who wants to try it. Also, I provided a link below to the adapter.

I had issues where the phone would recognize the card and partially mount it. Meaning, listening to music, browsing the file contents, etc, was very laggy and caused things to freeze. Also, transferring things via USB from Windows would usually halt and fail half way through. I probably formatted 30 different times, in both FAT32 and exFAT.
I solved the issue completely by formatting the card in TWRP to EXT4. I had downloaded a 3rd party Linux system explorer for Windows expecting it not to see the EXT4 file system, however, it shows in Windows explorer perfectly fine and all functions are present NATIVELY. Thanks MTP.
Probably won't apply to most as I've only seen two other posts in the past 2 years with anyone running a similar setup, however figured I'd post it in case someone else decides to try it and has issues. :good:
Thumbs up to the guy that finds this by searching a year from now!
love this hardware mod
Guys.
I have a nexus 7 that i'm utilising in a car build.
It's running CM10.1 which I believe is based on 4.2.2, and Timurs custom Kernel.
I have a 175gb SSD dive, hooked up to a USB hub and OTG cable.
The SSD is recognised and mounts correctly on the Nexus.
I'm looking to speed up the mount process.
When I connect the SSD, the led activity light on the SSD will start to blink rapidly, any media on the drive is inaccessible until the drive activity has ceased.
This process takes around 30 seconds.
I've placed a number of .nomedia files inside the USBDISK folder amd SDCARD folder, but still mounting takes time.
Is there a way to speed up the mounting process.
Maybe moving the media folders inside a single folder, or some sort of file (like .nomedia) inside the folder structure to tell Android to not perform a file check.
Maybe a cache system.
The kernel is configured to have the drive in read only mode, so unless I manually add any files, then I have no need to scan for any file changes.
The drive could be in the car for months before I add any new media to it.
I guess no one else has experienced this, or I posted in the wrong forum, but i think i figured it out.
Just incase someone else has the same problem in the future, and in the vain hope that they stumble across this thread, I think it's only fair that I post my findings.
My SSD drive is formatted exFat for compatibilty between my PC, Tablet and S7 phone which is on Marshmallow.
I have 2 hard drives, I have a 2.5" SSD and a standard 2.5" Sata drive.
So something to experiment with.
Formatting the standard hard drive as NTFS and then copying a small number of my files on to it, i noticed that the mount time was instant, with hardly any drive activity.
All files are accessable.
It makes little sense, considering a standard mechanical drive is supposedly slower than SSD.
I then formatted it exFat, and copied roughly the same number of files, but now the mount time was about 5 seconds, with the drive light activity issue.
My SSD drive is taking 30-40 seconds to mount, which is annoying to say the least.
I reformatted my SSD as NTFS, copied my files back on to it, and the mount time is still almost instantaneous.
So it looks like whatever is causing the extended mount time is asscociated with exFat.
I've no idea why, so if anyone can explain, i'll be happy to learn.
