Whenever I connect my SGS to my laptop, Windows notifies that "This device can perform faster". Data transfer speeds are woefully slow - it took almost 3 hours to transfer 11GB of music, when earlier it used to take not more than 45 mins. This problem happens randomly, not all the time. But I don't what's going wrong. Any idea?

Sound like a problem of your pc and not of the phone.. What Windows version do you use? How old is you pc? Can it be that your PC only provides usb1.1 ?

It's not a problem with the laptop. All USB ports are 2.0 spec (thumb drives work fine) and I'm running Win7 Pro x86.
Anybody have any luck finding a fix for this? I'm having this issue with another phone in the Galaxy S series. All of my other devices work just fine [HDD's, flash drives, other android phones, and my Touchpad]. Only my Infuse give me this issue [I know I know, it's not the i9000, but it's damn close], and was hoping that someone may know what is going on. Thanks

From my experience, the message is generated by Win 7 when it thinks that there is a faster USB port on the computer. I would suggest that you double check your laptop manual to make sure that one of the USB ports is not USB3 which the win 7 software obviously thinks is available.
You can always check by downloading the same file through each of your laptop's USB ports and comparing the time taken.
Hello,
My MK888 box worked smoothly only for two days. On third day I noticed that device is turned off. It can't boot up now. The PowerLED lights up for 5 seconds and it goes off. The video of this process You can see here: http://www.mediafire.com/watch/gcg1a43k9qceoem/CAM00200_compressed.mp4
Connecting OTG cable causes permanent glow PowerLED, until disconnected. I checked dmesg and it doesn't change when I connect device with OTG cable. Windows doesn't see it either. Connecting it with Recovery button pressed down doesn't help. It has stock rom without any modififcations. Only XBMC installed and some other apps.
Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
I bought it here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TV-B...3188-2GB-RAM-8GB-ROM-CS918-AV/1392309954.html
The seller gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".

Sounds like a hardware fault in all honesty.
Mine turns itself off immediately sometimes but not on a consistent basis.
I would tell the seller of the issues about it not detecting, I'd make sure your drivers are up to date though.
The drivers are not an issue as the dmesg (linux tool) shows nothing, like no device is connected. It should show something. I thought that there is some hack for this or possibility to connect with JTAG or something. I will send it back to the seller.

HELLO,
i have exactly the SAME problem as you described with my tv box (i think it is T-R42 because it has bluetooth)
Also i have the stock rom , and also i bought the tv box from an aliexpress seller
Normally i keep it in operation (was about a week i didn't turn off it)
yesterday morning i found it powered off,
and when i try to power on it pressing the button,
the button light stays on for a few seconds, then it (and the device) turns off
Yesterday night i connected the tv box to my pc via otg cable.
When connected to the pc via otg, the light stays on.
Connecting the usb cable to the pc, and pushing the reset button under the tv box, my pc detects rk31sdk device, then asks to install drivers for it
Choosing automatic search of drivers, my pc find drivers for 'MDB device' and istall them... and the process ends correctly
But after a few seconds, windows finds another time the 'new hardware', and asks to install drivers... and so on
(I dont know if in this phase i did some wrong action, this evening i will try to find and install the right drivers...)
Then i downloaded the software for my tv box, including the Rockchip updater (RKAndroidTool.exe) and latest custom rom from wasser (forum freaktab.com) :
http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/firmware-wasser-1.2.4.zip
Then i lauched the RKAndroidTool:
the first time it didn't find the device, so i tried to disconnect the tv box, reconnect it and press the reset button under the tv box
In that way, the RKAndroidTool detected the device.
I Clicked Erase IDB, and seems it worked find, endings OK
Then i selected all the software : Loader, Parameter, Misc, Kernel, Boot, Recovery, System and clicked 'RUN'
The process started, i saw:
Testing device: OK
Flashing Ram... OK
So i was happy, i thought i solved my problem...
instead i solved nothing, the device still had the same behaviour as before (the same as you described)
So i repeated the process, selecting only one update at a time, (only the Boot , only the Recovery, only the System etc)
The process seems always to work ok, because it ends with OK
But the tv box didn't change behaviour, the same problem remain
I noticed that sometimes during the update process the message 'Found RKAndroid Loader Rock USB' changed to 'NOT FOUND',
so i had to retry pushing the reset button to make it be found
I dont know how RKTool works, i have the suspect that messages tells OK also if it do nothing ...
this evening i will retry, installing the right drivers...
You are a lucky guy. Mine wasn't even detected by my PC. After maaany approaches of powerON+RecoveryButton dmesg showed the new device only once with following issue: "BOS descriptor failed.". The seller told me to send it back for replace, but they will cover only one posting cost. It cost me extra $16

Hello,
i have still to test it,
but perhaps i got the solution for the problem:
a user from freaktab forum suggested me that the problem should be the power adapter:
he suggested me to buy a power adapter 5V , with 2A output minimum
I dont have such power adapter, if you have it, and you have not sent yet the tv box to the supplier, please check this solution and let me know!
Thanks
I saw this solution somewhere in the internet, but unfortunately I checked it with 2.5A adapter...it didn't help. I tested the standard adapter with multimeter and everything appeared to be fine. I already sent my device to the seller. I hope he will replace it.

i found this thread on freaktab
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....few-seconds-then-shuts-down-Bad-power-adapter
i will check if this solution will work with my tv box
In the case it doesn't work i think i will have also to send the tv box to the aliexpress seller...
but i dont know how to do it, and how much i have to pay
did you choose DHL shipment, or which other carrier?
I bought my t-r42 on october, now are passed 4 months... i dont know if i still can ask to the seller to replace it...
any suggestion?
Thanks!
I asked him through aliexpress:
Sign In -> My orders -> CHOOSE_YOUR_ORDER -> View Detail
at the bottom of this page I have some sort of chat feature.
DHL is out of the question! They take 20-40$. I sent it with Polish Post.

Ok thank you,
if the power adapter solution doesn't work i will try to contact the seller
To be honest, i am not very satisfied of this tv box, it didn't work very well
for example i used skype (connecting it to a logitech c270 webcam), and it didnt work well... very often skype crashed, and camera app also had problems...
Perhaps i will ask to the seller if i can buy another model and can get some discount returning my tv box to him...
quad core android tv box Q7
I trie to make update the fimware after 1minute re line and write fails,
i try again an the recovery an the device is not work..
help me please.
Same problem
Did anyone could fix this? I have the same problem, any firmware, even the supposed stock one, fix the problem, the device doesn't boot.
I don't know what happens, it can update the firmware every time I want....
RKbatchtool is better than RKAndroidtool.
connect the box to the PC via OTG but do not connect the power. hold the recovery button and then connect the power cable.
if this still fails then try Maskmode. bit more complex and i would recommend a good read over at freaktab.com first. have to open the box up and short the 8th and 9th Pin on the NAND chip.
similar to this http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?1943-NEW-Unbrick-or-fix-NAND-on-the-MK808
and those with a Q7 box. dont use Wassers rom. it will load but bluetooth, wifi and ethernet wont work on it
Freaktab has roms for the q7
I had the same problem, I even brought device to my friend who work in repair shop and he don`t find any technical damage. Then one evening i was watching movie and all the time trying to connect it to pc and reset, and etc. then suddenly blue light start glowing and since then it is working very well, but my pc still dont recognize it

CS918S Start up problem
I had same start up problem with my new CS918S TV Box.
contacted Seller and she gave me link to some new firmware and no other info. Only "please download the firmware and install in your computer, and then connect the tv box to the computer, it will flash automatically ".
I downloaded all the upgrade software as mentioned but still not working.
I went to my friend's home who is also using the same TV Box. Tested my TV Box with my friend's HDMI Cable, Power Adapter one by one. Finally, finding out when using my Power Adapter for the 2 TV Boxes they had the same startup problem. But using my friend's power adapter, both are working . Communicated with seller shop: China SmartView Digital Co. Ltd. Aliexpress Store no: 808900. She asked me to mail back to the manufacture direct but she doesn't be responsible for any cost.
I order a new power adapter cable from other supplier at my own cost.

I received mine a couple days ago. It has English on it. I did have to play around with the display language to remove a little lingering Chinese text. But it had English installed. I purchased mine on aliexpress. From the seller "eternal team"
So far I'm under impressed with win 8.1. But quite impressed with the tablet itself. Wonder if its possible to install Linux on it
How much have you paid it?
It doesn't have the 3g ultrastick slot right?
I just bought an Voyo A1, which is essentially the same. You can use 3G sticks over the USB connector.
No sure, but I believe that Pipo made an English image available for the w2, but you can indeed tinker
to get ENG via the upgrade in windows. Al least I have seem Russian and Spanish translated W2's.
Hi I also bought the Voyo a1 mini came with English already installed is working great have loaded Microsoft office onto it have paired with a Bluetooth keyboard and van connect a portable disk drive to it still playing with it at the moment but all looks OK.
Can't wait for the Voyo to arrive. Used to own an Archos 9 with Windows 7... My Windows on tablet dream was over for may years to come.
Multi-Language Support on Pipo W2?

Yes, it was preinstalled English Win8. Bought one from ebay.co.uk
Really great performance with such a reasonable price.:good:
Anyone else had windows activation problems on their W2? Or even on the voyo a1?
I'm unable to activate windows on mine. Error code shows up with the "this key is used on too many comps" message.
Also what version on windows came preinstalled on your w2/voyo a1 minis? Windows 8.1 pro with ms office on mine.

What is the model of your machine?
Mine is the pipo w2. Still talking with customer service @ pipo about the windows activation problem. Just getting frustrated waiting.
Correct me if I am wrong, but these tablets don't come with pro.
Only Windows 8.1 with Bing which is the standard version and should be oem unlocked.
Did you do an complete reset yet?
Right. It should be windows 8.1 core connected aka "with bing" whose license is free from Microsoft. certainly not 8.1 pro
Agreed that it shouldn't be 8.1 pro. However, that's what showed up. Probably why its not working on the CD key. I can't vouch for other w2 tablets. I bought this one on Aliexpress. Seller "eternal team"
Tablet seems to work fine. Bluetooth connects, WiFi, etc. Not sure what problems I face if I can't activate windows though.
Interesting. Apparently these guy's do sell with Windows 8.1 Pro installed. Probably
because the Pipo w2 originally comes with only an Chinese installation.
I can't imagine they provided an Pro key. Or did they?
Could be the restore partition is still in Chinese and activated..
Have the same problem, it came with 8.1 pro English. There was an update on the site and i installed it, then i was unable to activate it and it wasn't 8.1. pro anymore???
Still looking for a solution.
Interesting. You've probably saved me some trouble then. I was planning on installing downloads from pipos site. Was hoping it would fix the problem. Not going to bother then. :/
Any idea what happens if we can't activate windows? Just the annoying message?
You can't personalize it anymore. But the strange thing is I can't activate it with kms...
That update should fix some wifi and touchscreen issues, that's why i dl'ed it, although i read someowhere else it could give problems activating.
There was a separate fix out for the touchscreen issues but it's not available anymore.
The drivers updates are still there and you can use these, if you need them.
Curious, what is kms?
I contacted support at pipo. Got several replies, none of which were too useful. They sent a screenshot of a CD key but trying it only got me the error message saying "this key can not be used to activate this version of windows". After that, I got a request to send a picture of trying to use the CD key, and asked what I've done with the tablet since I got it. Thinking I'll be doing that and see what they say. *crosses fingers* response time from them has been slow, around 3-8 days for each reply.
I wouldn't hold my breath. These devices don't come with an paid version of Windows. Looks like a scam. Seriously, 3-8 days..
Seems the only thing you can do is try ghost an official image with Bing and warn others not to buy from these awful fellows.
Hi,
I bought an immaculate looking, roughly 2 year old, Samsung S8 recently and all works fine, except, no matter how hard I try, I connect get windows 10 and now windows 11 to detect the phone, so I can download photos off it. It charges, but it does not appear in "This PC" as a drive. Previous owners gave me a blank look when I mentioned it. They are not PC savy. Maybe they never tried to do this...dunno. Anyway I thought I could fix it.....I WANT to fix it.
I've updated the OS and USB drivers, enabled developer mode,tried different usb ports, different PC's , different usb cables and yesterday I fitted a new USB daughter board...still no worky......
I can't even remember all the things I've tried...
I have now bought a new S10 and that all works as it should. S8 still doesn't work.
I am out of ideas.....All I can think of to do now is to replace the motherboard! Extreme, and I don't even know if it will fix it......
How can it not?....lol
I know it doesn't make sense to spend too much on a S8 but it just irks me!
I hope someone can enlighen me....

If you're using the newest drivers,it won't work.I experienced this as well with my Note 8,and had to roll back to previous driver versions to get it to connect.
Thanks.....I am not sure what versions I have tried now. I would have thought the first attempt would have been on the older driver, and then I updated. Maybe I need to try again. Try some older versions.

Give this a try.Some have had fairly good luck with it since it has old and newer versions of the driver with it.
I tried the Smart Switch version you posted. no dice.
I DID have have a small amount of luck....I did realise that I don't have the MTP option in Developer Options> Default USB configuration, like all the videos show. ( This is disturbing....why? )
I tried 'transferring images' option , re-booted phone and now I'm getting the windows 'ding' and the 'usb device not recognised' error, so thats progress...lol
After that I re-installed the older samsung usb drivers on my pc with no change....same error.
I've found about 8 older drivers, but have only tried 3. I gets a bit painful blindly installing, uninstalling, installing....
Not having the MTP option seems to me. to be the key, but I don't know how to fix it. Did Samsung remove the option in an update?...dunno
