Fastest file transfer from phone to PC - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

So MTP is unreliable and not always fast, wireless transfer with AirDroid and the like isn't always reliable or really fast, Mi Drop and other FTP solutions are in the same bag. I really miss the old USB mass storage mode, as it is fast and allows proper file management.
I stumbled upon this section under developer settings (default USB connection mode or sth like that), but I have yet to try it. The first option appears to be just regular MTP, what would MIDI be?
And what are your other suggestions for the fastest or smoothest file management between the phone and a PC?

FTP over AC wifi is my way to go for transferring files, i get around 40 MB which is fast enough for me, that is probably the speed limit for the memory used for this phone, because i get much higher speed on my laptop.
By the way i'm using Solid explorer built in ftp client to connect to an HDD (shared using ftp and samba) by my router

I have not yet installed USB driver on Windows Laptop.
With WLAN 802.11n connection over MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.12 to RN7 Hotspot (2.4 Ghz) I get transfer rates of 5-6 MB/s. 5 Ghz Hotspot seems not supported by my Laptop.
I could connect USB-C 2.0 (OTG) loading cable to either USB 2 or USB 3 on the Laptop.
Is it even possible to reach 20-30 MB/s over USB (like for external Drives connected trough USB2) or at least substantially better then 5-6 MB/s over the WLAN I have?

After applying a trick in Device Manager I was able to intall the USB MTP Driver.
I tried the transfer of a 1.7 GB file and the speed was 16-20 MB/s, so better then WLAN on the RN7 device.

Ipaq 612c/614/600 USB2?

I have the Ipaq 612c, its meant to be USB2 according to the HP specs, but none of my programes can trasfer data at USB 2 speeds.
Active sync takes 2min 26seconds, to transfer a 40mb file. Same file on a normal USB flash drive takes 6 seconds!
is there a patch or driver that i'm meant to install?
Thx
TB
You Need To Set Active Sync Mode on the phone to Rndis not Serial
[Edit] ok found where the option is, (under USB to PC, in the connections tab)
but the file transfer was almost exactly the same speed (same file, from same PC to the same data store on the ipaq)
Cheers,
TB

[Q] Video Music Files Auto Sync with PC USB 3.0

Hello, I would like to ask if someone knows a way how to sync video, music files, photos, documents automatically with files in the PC. I would like to take advantage of the speed of the USB 3.0 of the the Note 3. Its like when you connect the phone to PC it will compare two folders (in PC and in the phone) automatically and copy/paste the files.
I used to use cheetah sync, but it uses wifi, which is very slow and most of the time stops/fails after a while of transferring.
Thanks!

I do not know any sync program but I just wanted to point out that the USB 3.0 doesn't make it any faster in this case because of the internal read/write speed is lower that USB 2.0 maxlimit.
AFAIK they added USB 3.0 to allow fast charging through a computer with USB 3.0 port.
Are you able to have access to the phone through USB 3 port ?
Mine doesn't show on the PC Explorer... but it is charging pretty fast through this port.
I don't know if actually it is an issue on my phone or my PC (drivers?) as I don't have any other USB 3 devices...

There is a special mode on the phone called "allow file transfer through usb 3.0" or something that you need to click to access the phones filesystem through your computer.

[Q] [Q 4 ALL] What is the fastest method to Download/Upload files from your phone ?

So .... What is the fastest way to Download AND Upload files(photo,apk,etc) from your andoid device to the PC (windows)
I personaly use AirDroid for doing that ... cause i find it the most fastest way( the single problem is i need to close every time the app from android after i used it )
Wifi file transfer
To manage your files just go to your pc browser

The fasted of all is to take the card out and plug in the PC. But that is not for daily operations....
Second fastest should be to enable MassTransfer mode (search the S4 forum) and connect the cable to PC.
Third fastest is the cable, with direct cable connection (and no additional 'hacks')
The fasted via 'air' should be by using a ftp connection. you will need to that a server (on PC) and a client (on phone). With a few clicks (literary), your transfer can be started.
Then come all the apps (like AirDroid)... that depend also on your network speed, distance to router/hotspot, etc...
I feel, usb cable connection on win 8.1 is much better in comparison with win 7

[Q] Fast data transfer with 3.0 usb

I have my note3's 3.0 USB cable is it possible that i can use it with pc and get ultra fast data transfer speed...usually i get 3-6 MBPS which is very slow. Any way to fix that copying speed?
Try it using the USB 3 cable, it should work and let us know what speed you achieve, want to get a couple of 3.0 cables myself.
Also note that when the cable and both ends support USB3, it'll show up on the list of choices that shows up when you connect your device. I would imagine you have to select the faster 3.0 setting to attain it.

I have searched the forum for this but I am not finding info about mounting under older version of linux w/o MTP support. Previously mounted android filesystems from motorola devices as simple usb devices via haldaemon, is there any way to restore that behaviour for the Samsung phones? Kies not available for linux, and I don't run those other O/Ses.
Thanks in advance,

Fast Charge While Connected to PC in "Photo Transfer"?

Hello.
I want to be able to have my phone connected to my PC (such that I'm able to use AirDroid or something to control it for recording video, and that I have access to the newly shot videos on my PC), and not lose too much juice along the way (I need it to be connected in this way for pretty much all work-day - about 8 hours straight).
I should also mention that since I have the Dual Sim variant, I can't root my device
One thought I had was to purchase a usb-c splitter/Y-cable/hub (something like this or this) and connect a wall charger and the data cable. Would that work?
Any other ideas for how to get this done?
I think there's still the old usb3 power limit of 0,9A while transferring data even with usb-c.

Even if I use something like the splitter idea?
Also, what's the max voltage, then? (I don't actually need fast-charging speeds, I just need it to charge fast enough to balance enough of the power draw from the camera so the battery won't die within 8 hours of shooting video)
I almost always use wifi, even for bulk copyjobs. Then the phone will charge, though slower.

The problem then is that I can't use AirDroid to control my phone (and TeamViewer and Vysor screw with the display in the camera app, making them an even worse option).
Total Commander with FTP and Samba Plugins.
In former days i used MyPhoneExplorer on the pc and it's respective plugin on the device, but you can't use a NAS then.

From what I found, it seems Total Commander is just a file explorer. I need to be able to control my phone from the PC. This is my biggest problem right now, because the only option that really works is AirDroid and it needs to be connected via USB.
I handle everything directly with the phone. Cloud access is also possible via TC.
And probably interesting to you, the wifi transfer plugin. Seems to establish P2P connections, but i never tried it out, fespute having it installed.
Before that was MPE and during my first experiences with Android i also tried Airdroid. The procedure to establish a connection, and Airdroid should primarily be a wifi app, was a PITA and shortly later with MPE i could achieve the same & more and quicker, so Airdroid was forgotten.
Data transfer via usb and full charging at the same time could be possible with USB PD and either via usb data lines or a Thunderbolt connection.
USB PD is establishing as standard for phones, but i doubt any of the current high end devices has TB. IPhones maybe.
Here we have USB 3.x with Quickcharge3. And i can do wifi bulk copies w/o running out of battery when connecting the G6 to a mere QC1 charger.

I'm not sure how that's relevant for my issue. Again, I'm not just looking to copy files, I'm looking to shoot video - that's a far more battery intensive operation. Also, I cannot handle things on my phone. I need to control it from my PC.
A wifi connection and a proper QC3 power source should at least keep the current battery state, as the power limit of the phone should equal the max charging current.
But i can't recommend any apps for this task, but it's much like media streaming or casting...

One more time: a WiFi connection would work for transferring files but my main issue is that I need to control the phone from the PC, and I haven't found a way to achieve this without a USB connection.
Yup, that's the missing link, a remote control and streaming app for the camera.
I can fast charge on my laptop but mines a Dell g5 gaming laptop it's fast charges Thur the thunderbolt port
Sent from my V60 ThinQ using XDA Labs
Interesting. And does it fast-charge also while in Photo Transfer mode?
