I'm trying to copy about 26 GB worth of data from my pc to my OnePlus 6T. The files begin to copy, but the transfer keeps stopping after a minute or so. I've tried a few different USB cables, including the cable that came with the phone. I've also tried while keeping the phone awake. Same things happens every time. Any ideas?

I would suggest turning on developer options and use ADB to push and pull files.
Even if the computer screen goes to sleep the function continues.
I have had issue with the desktop client, so I only use it for small files.

Would adb push retain the folder structure?

ADB push worked like a charm.

Ok, seems pretty straight forward. plug in USB, slide down notification select turn on USB mass storage. open folder on PC, click drag files to designated locations. Reboot to get the files to show up in astro.
Now here's my problem. Half the files i transfer over are fine the other half, transfer over with no data behind them. 0kb. i transferred over about 10 ringtones, 5 wallpapers and 2 .apks
About 4 ringtones work, the others show up in astro, but have no data, i finally got all the wallpapers to work, after file transferring several times. and 1 .apk worked and the other doesn't.
It seems to be sporadic, as in, i transferred over the set of wallpapers i'd say 10 times. Out of the 10 time, the first 9 it was a different wallpaper(or couple) that would have no data, the last time they finally all went over as they should have.
This is getting rather irritating, I've searched the forums and the only help I've found is about the reboot phone to get them to show up in Astro. Any advice/assistance?
TL;DR- Half the files i transfer from PC to SD card, have no data attached to them, it's just a filename. Seems sporadic.
Maybe DroidExplorer can help you, if your PC is under Windows.
Actually, there was one file in particular that kept showing up as 0bytes. and this time, i actually read what it said on the "Turn off USB storage" screen. It says: Before turning off USB storage, make sure you have unmounted ("ejected") your Android's SD card from your computer.
So i actually did that, and the file transferred. I'll test a few more things to see if that's the case.
Never in my life of owning a PC have i ever used the "Safe to remove hardware" taskbar thing. I've always just yanked the USB cord. Never had a problem :X
Edit: That seems to have helped immensely, but hasn't solved the problem fully. Just transferred over 20 wallpapers, and only 2 show up as 0 bytes. So, maybe i'm on the right tack, i'll try the DroidExplorer see if that helps.
Anyone with advice or a solution, I welcome your $0.02

Try dropbox till all the kinks get worked out. Its free and saves you atleast 2gig storage on your sdcard.
My vibrant acts like its not connected to any computer I plug it into
I've tried two different cords and two different computers. One of them being a mac and the other being a PC
I've tried every usb port on both. It's strange.
I'm on Bionix 1.6. Should I restore back to stock and then reflash and see what happens?
Has anyone had this happen to them?
I seen somewhere that you need samsung drivers but I don't have a link for you. Personally I did the tedious task of sticking my sd in an usb adapter but I switched to wireless transfer after a week of that. Android phone drivers in general didn't load for me on Win7 64bit.

You got the Drivers installed right? soft reset your phone ? If that does not work, back up hard reset and check again. If still not working I say return it..

Yeah I have the drivers
Did the soft and hard reset
Can't return it since I got it off of a guy on somethingawful
It's whatever though i got a good deal on it and it still works great. I'll figure it out some day
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate and it works just fine, but whenever I use a different computer or a Mac I get the same problem. I tried almost everthing.
Are you running JI5/JI6 ? I have the same problem with these builds. I remember someone else had the same problem as well, could be a bug. What happens when you go into USB settings of phone and select/deselect mass storage option?
This is going to sound really really really weird but I fixed it somehow
I put the disable lagfix into the voodoo folder and rebooted my phone and plugged it into my brothers ps3 and then suddendly I could mount my phone to my computer again.
Even stranger I deleted the disable lagfix file and rebooted my phone and let it do its thing and now my USB is completely working again.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I've done the disable thing before when I was trying to fix it but never plugged it into the ps3
I'm glad I was messing with my phone when the battery was at 20 percent!

Ever since I installed froyo, I have noticed that when I plug my phone in via a usb cable, it appears instantly in the windows 7 device list, but takes at least 2 minutes to appear as a actual drive, sometimes never appearing at all.
The phone also instantly recognises that it is connected and the same thing happens on my work computer as well.
Has/is anyone having similar issues to this?
EDIT: Have tried with usb debugging turned on and off, also uninstalled htc sync in case that was interfering but didn't help.
Do you have a lots of apps on the SD? If so, mounting it on the PC requiers to unmount all these apps from the system.

Quite a few, that might be it then. Didn't realise the phone had to do that. Thanks
That'll be the reason. It's a pain, if you use an a2ext solution it will be faster
Can't copy files via USB, just gets stuck on "Calculating the time required to copy"
I'm trying to back up my entire 20GB of data on my Note 4 before I wipe it and root it. I'd like to do that via USB because of how massive it is. But it's not letting me. I plug my phone into my PC, use the MTP connection method, and I can browse my phone just fine. I can even copy individual files just fine. But as soon as I try to copy a folder, or multiple folders, it gets stuck on "Calculating the time required to copy the files". Even if I only select two folders that only have a single text file each. A file copy that should happen near instantly, doesn't happen after hours.
I've googled the issue and it seems pretty rare - has anyone found a workaround for this? I've tried different USB cables, different USB ports, resetting the phone, resetting the PC, but nothing seems to work!
I ve got a similar problem while backing up my whole data. Often the transfer starts after letting em calculate for a while (>15 min).
Sometimes a phone restart fixes the issue for one try and in very rare cases i retry it the next day.
I dont know what is causing th problem. I also know that this is not a apprpriate workaround.
There's a pretty big size man. I think you should try to wait a little more longer.
If the problem perssist then you should try reinstalling your device driver or use a party software like MobileGO.
Give a try and reply back
No, it wasn't size. If I went into the Camera folder, selected 4GB worth of pictures, and hit ctrl-C, then hit ctrl-V on my harddrive, it copied just fine. Took a while to copy, but there was no "calculating the time required to copy these files" dialog at all.
But if I select two or more FOLDERS, even if the total file size of all folders is less than 1MB, it gets stuck on "calculating the time" dialog, and I waited about an hour and then gave up. I ended up just copying to a USB OTG thumb drive on my phone, and then copying off that thumb drive to my PC.
2 issues i'm currently having.
1) samsung pay asks for fingerprint or pin verification. neither option works. PIN does a quick "loading" icon and loads the same screen it was just on. fingerprint will do a loading icon for longer and go back to the screen asking if i want to use fingerprint or PIN.
2) phone keeps disconnecting from PC during microSD card transfer. trying to transfer my music, every single time it fails about 10% of the way through (though on a different song each time). About to just take the idiot card out and simply transfer using an external reader. I ran into this exact same issue with my galaxy s3 as well, the phone kept disconnecting every time i tried to do a larger transfer.

On the Samsung Pay issue, have you disabled anything using Package Disabler Pro? I had this happen on the Note 5 and it was because one of the Samsung processes I disabled made this happened. I enabled everything and tried it and then it worked. Once I had my card set-up I was able to disable everything again with no issues.
As for issue 2 I have no idea on that.

That happens if the app gets disabled and re-enabled or messed with in basically any form. Just go to apps, clear cache and data of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework, then uninstall any updates to both of the apps, reboot and open the Samsung Pay stub app in the app drawer (the one that installed the real Samsung Pay; it has the same icon). Should work again after doing the above. c:.
As far as your SD card, that could be a bad SD card or MTP/Driver issue. Personally, I've been able to transfer over 100GB of stuff to my SD card, so it's probably one of the formerly mentioned.
On the SDcard transfer I had similar issues. I was using my own generic USB cable so on a whim I used the original Samsung cable and voila no more errors. So try that to see if it works for you.
Tried a different USB port and the transfer worked. Still closed the window and windows said that it cant display the contents of the drive till the transfer is done (weird).
For the samsung pay thing i havent disabled anything and i tried the clear cache thing but not for the pay framework part. I'll try whats listed and update.
got it working
