For A500, is there any way to turn off the MTP mode and just get A500 to act as an USB drive (i.e. USB mass storage)?
For copying large files, Acer Sync's speed is ok, but I copy offline newspapers for viewing on A500, and that involves thousands of small files. MTP's speed for copying large number of small files is much slower than USB drive. For example, I can copy a whole newspaper to a USB thumbdrive in 3 minutes, while using MTP mode it takes 15 minutes.
I'm new with the Acer, and I don't have an answer to your question, but I wondered about using a thumb drive. Needs to be formatted to fat 32. Just use the thumb drive like you would the micro sd card. 4 gig thumb drives are pretty cheap.

Woody, I think you misunderstood my question, my question is not about using a thumb drive on A500... I would like the A500 to behave like a usb thumb drive when plugged in the micro USB cable to a PC's USB port.
The other annoying thing I forgot to mention about Acer Sync is that it is single task when copying files. You can only copy one file at a time, you try to copy another file before the first one is finished and it'll tell you the file system is busy...

If you're running 3.2 when you plug your tab into your PC your tab should pop right up on your PCs screen giving you two drives to choose from. External or internal SD card.. Drag and drop. Never heard of anyone using Acer Sync to copy files before.?!?

Are you using A500? I know other tabs are like that, which is the normal usb drive mode. A500 isnt like that, it'll recognise as a A500 tab in win7, not a drive, and copying files is via this special protocol, not like a usb drive.

Ummmmm my signature clearly states I'm using an A500, and I've never used Acer Sync in my life. Drag and drop files just like a thumb drive. It comes up as an A500 in win 7. You double click on the A500, and it will show 2 drives (internal SDcard, and external SDcard). Double click on whichever drive you want to copy files to, and drag and drop them in, or use "copy and paste".

That is using the PTP kind of protocol already, not acting like a thumb drive. Just do a simple test, copy one large file to the SDcard, and then before it finishes try to copy another file to it, it'll say the file system is busy. USB thumbdrive won't behave like that. Copy large number of small files in this PTP kind of protocol is much much slower than thumbdrive.
Also, try plugin in your A500 to a WinXP PC, it won't even recognise it without installing drivers for it.

You are correct, only one at a time when copy files unless you highlight two at same time, if i connect the usb drive directly into win7 pc it will automatically add to the loading file, as for the recognzie pc acer do say that on their support page...
there is a auto sync option in settings under accounts and sync..

Of course WinXP needs drivers, that's a given. It's a 10 yr old OS!
Your first post stated that you were using Acer Sync to copy your files.
I was simply wondering what kind of person would use Acer Sync to copy files when you can simply drag and drop them into your tab.
I tried what you asked. Started by dragging and dropping a movie to the tab, then tried d/d a few docs, and it indeed said busy.
When I chose them all at once and dragged and dropped them in, it copied fine, and much faster than a few of my thumb drives (three times the speed).
Question for you now. Why can't you simply choose all the files you want, drag and drop them into your tab and wait for it to copy the files, and be done with it? And second question is why would you ever choose Acer Sync to copy your files over?!?

I did, in fact I chose a whole directory to copy to the A500. My problem is the speed, with thousands of small files, copying the files using this way is slow in comparison to thumbdrive, at least double the time.... in fact, I can copy the files to a thumbdrive and then plug that thumbdrive in the A500 to copy to it, and I can finish the copying action faster this way than plugging in the A500 directly to the PC.... so speed for copying large number of small files is my only main issue
The side issue is winxp, without the USB drive mode, I can't connect to my office PC as I dont have admin rights to install programs on that PC... and one last thing, I probably put the subject wrong, I didn't use the Acer Sync, I'm using that PTP kind of protocol as per default, I thought that was Acer Sync at first

PTP or MTP? PMPs and most media devices use MTP. They're generally designed this way so that you don't corrupt files or damage the files on the flash drive by disconnecting without first removing the drive in Windows. It shouldn't technically be that much slower than a thumb drive if you multi-select stuff. I generally sync my mp3 list when I'm going to travel in case I don't have wifi and xfer time seems similar if not quicker than copying them to a thumb drive.
I'll try to see if I can get some small files, maybe pictures and test those.

I know, theoretically it shouldn't be that slow. Practically, I don't know what's wrong with Acer's implementation of it, it is dead slow copying large number of small files. To give you an idea, the offline newspaper I copied is about 1,000 files, mostly html about 1k big. The jpg files are about 100-300k big. It took me about 15-20 minutes to copy those files to my A500 via the usb cable. If I take my SDcard out and copy the files direct to the SDcard using a card reader, that can be done in 3 minutes.

I did another test using mp3s and the xfer was fast. Copied 150 files, 890MB total in 3m 35s using a class 4 card. That's around right.
Ironically, the same files took 6m 20s to the internal drive.
The only conclusion I can make at this point is that for some reason the bigger the file, the faster the transfer to the external SD. The smaller the file, the faster the transfer to the internal drive. This is all speculation.
Can you try copying them to the internal drive and let me know what you come up with? I myself am going to now try a comparison of 1 big movie file.
Update: I finished the other test. Puzzling. 1 MP4 file @ 2.26GB copied in ~3m to the external SD card.
In the same amount of time, just 1/3 of the file copied to the internal storage (I stopped that transfer, it was going to take ~9-10m).
I could only start to guess what's up. Maybe the A500 is actively scanning files being transferred to the internal storage and it ignores files smaller than a certain size or there's some other overhead going on and "noticing" media files, vs. any other kind.
The SD card is for the most part on the other hand, free and clear. I get the same results from my phone and its external SD, and that's connected like a Thumb Drive, as you put it.
Note that both the internal storage AND SD card are still accessible when the A500 is plugged in through USB, unlike most phones where the SD card is first unmounted.
What class microSD are you using? I think your best result might be copying directly to the tablet OR buying a faster microSD card.
I did the test to internal storage, it is even slower than SDcard.
I did another test - copying 400 html files of 1-4k, a total of only 1.6MB. The A500 took 3 minutes to do that, while my thumbdrive finished in 18 seconds. The A500 can only do less than 3 files per second, no matter how small the files are, that makes copying large number of small files a pain in the a$$.
I used a class 10 SDcard, and the result is about the same, the problem is with the interface, not the SDcard speed. You won't notice the slowness unless you are copying files that are really small, if you copy MP3 files that is 5MB big, you won't reach the limit of 3 files per second anyway.
from reply i read
i assume people using win 7 DIDNT REALIZE that a500 use MTP, because a500 just shows up like a usb drive altough in reality they dont get any drive (they just dont care)
only people with mac and win xp will realize a500 use MTP ,

I know exactly what you're saying. it's pretty horrible that the a500 uses MTP for file transfer.
Some workarounds I found was to transfer files using FTP, which is much faster for several small files so even over the wireless it'll be faster.
Also some other techniques I found were to zip the many files on my computer, transfer the zip and unzip them on the acer.
Also the other obvious is to plug the microsd card to your computer with usb.

Yes, sadly I have to use other workarounds, there seems no way to use USB mass storage mode on USB. I now copy the files to a USB thumbdrive, and then insert that thumbdrive to A500 to move the files to A500. Even though that is twice the work, it is still much faster than using MTP transfer alone.
It's not the A500's fault it uses MTP. You can thank Google for that as they're the ones who built it in to Honeycomb and dropped USB Storage mode.
Hopefully it'll be back in ICS...
Alternatively, some file managers will allow you to send files via wifi to and from the tab. For me this is the prefered method (I use file expert, which is free). However, I noticed that occasionally large files like movies may fail, perhaps due to signal quality. I haven't had any problems with individual files up to 200-300 MB.
Hummmm not sure if this has been asked. Where are you putting the files at on your Iconia.If your putting them on the external SD card. Remember not all SD cards are treated equal.
Check the speed class of the card.and run a test to see how fast it can actually accept the files. Just because a card says class 10 does not mean its built well enough to handle that speed.
Internal storage can sometimes be slower then others as well.This would be considered a defective device.
I would surest to see if its faster or slower depending on where you store them.for me storing on my. Class 10. Ocl sd card..
Sorry, i have searched all over. Am I missing something? Is there no ability to transfer files from my phone to my tab? Using root explorer I cannot find the directory for the sdcard on my Nexus S. Please dont tell me i have to transfer the files from my phone to my windows machine and then to my tablet... any insight would be helpful.

You could just set up an ftp server on either (or both) of the devices, then transfer via WiFi... That's what I do, also for transferring data between my tab and my computer (which runs linux).
Before you ask: there are plenty of FTP server and client apps... just search the market.
Thanks I'll try that. That's really freaking bogus if there is really no connectivity via USB between two android devices...
Edit: got it working. Who would have thought you'd have to enable USB storage on both devices. I had just done it on my phone. Now i feel like an idiot... haha

I've always used Dropbox for all of my file transfer needs, and it has worked fantastically :good:. Give it a shot!
You could use wufi file explorer. Install it on your n7 then access it through your dell's browser to upload & download.
You can't use the Nexus 10 like a regular storage? USB to PC?

Yes you can.
If your using Vista+ (and not a N or KN edition of Windows), you should just be able to plug the Nexus 10 to the computer and transfer files via MTP.
If that doesn't just "work":
- You have a N or KN edition of Windows and don't have the media pack installed
- MTP is either removed or disabled
- Old drivers from ADB are possibly interfering (uninstall them, replug device, should work)
No idea what to do on XP or any other OS though.
I would use es file explorer.

Got me worried for a moment. Now if you can use the Nexus 10 as storage, is it possible to make say a mobile the "PC" or whatever and exchange files tru USB or that is blocked by Google? I'm a bit clueless what is allowed and whatnot on Nexus devices.

Might be better to think of it the other way around, could possibly connect a phone/camera etc to a nexus 10 and use the nexus as the host to see the files on the phone/camera etc

Yeah but stock N10 doesn't allow that, no? Really strange. It's okay not to have SD slot, but why does Google block USB OTG?
I havent tried but i imagine its possible whether its stock or not i dont know sorry. You can read from usbs as stock, just install Nexus Media Importer, so cameras could maybe be used with this, phones may get a bit trickier.
look at es file explorer. a must for every android user.
it lets you see network lan shares, your dropbox, skydrive, box, gdrive etc etc - with same ease as your device's local storage.
so you can export the share from your desktop where the files are and copy them on your device from that network share.
or, on your desktop, upload the files to your favorite cloud storage and do the same. have a habit of copying important files to the cloud, just in case your desktop crashes. outside of backing then up like that, you now could access then from anywhere using your mobile devices.
encrypt important stuff.

get "software data cable" from market
then you can use any FTP client and send files
no cables. profit
benefit of using this option instead of cloud services like dropbox:
say you have a 1gig file, u have to upload that 1 gig to dropbox, then download that 1 gig from the phone. this way you only send file one time
of course if you only using small files then no benefit
but if u have 50 small files in one folder you can send 1 folder with all the files, instead of 50 individual exports from dropbox or other could service

I just starting to get familiar with my Nexus 10 16GB tablet. I have an Android phone and a Kindle fire so I've had some experience with transferring files to my devices. When I plug my N10 into my Win7 PC, it shows as a "Portable Device", not a Hard Drive so went I attempt to eject it, that device doesn't show up as a choice to eject. I have no other choice but to 'pull the plug',something I'd uncomfortable with.
Nevertheless, I can double-click into the 'internal storage' and see some of the folders. When I attempt to create a new folder (to attempt some organization), I can create a 'New Folder', but I can't rename it to anything. This is very different from my experience with my Android phone and Kindle Fire.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

I have a MAC and to transfer files to the nexus 4 its a nightmare with the AFT(Android File Transfer) every time it crash or doesnt transfer so im looking for a different way to transfer,another program or without a program,someone here now an alternative?
*sorry for the english mistakes
Thank You!
No one??
Im looking for a method to use on my mac just like i used to use with my galaxy s like a removable disk.
Not a s fast, but you can use FTP with a program like ES File Explorer and copy over your wireless LAN.
AirDroid has been pretty effective for me. There are a couple other ones in the store as well, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a way to just mount it as a disk like older phones
im using airdroid but to heavy files its bad....
i wonder what changes that now need this F***** program!?

I HATE the MTP stuff that it seems Android is switching to but after researching it seems reasonable why they're doing it so I can't complain too much. Either way it's unreliable, slow, and has corrupted my N7's filesystem multiple times to where I had to wipe and reflash my rom so I was wondering what alternatives you guys have tried? Bluetooth? Is Bluetooth 3.0+HS even supported? WiFi? AdHoc WiFi? Which apps?
So far the things I have tried are just AirDroid which while having a cool interface is not reliable enough for me, I tried transferring my music collection of about 900 mp3s and after about half way through the file manager somehow forgot where to put folders and files so half of it was sorted properly (Music\Artist\Year - Album\Song.mp3) and the rest was just "Music\Year - Artist\Song.mp3". A very odd error to me. Lol.
Should I of posted this in the Q&A section? It kind of confuses me why their is a General section and Q&A section. Seems like those are the same to me. I figured the Q&A section was for stuff only closely related to the 7, while this is more of a general question (fits across multiple Android devices). Dunno?
I use MTP as it works fine for me. For convenience, I use WiFi File Explorer pro. Best 0.99 $ spent.

When I try to delete stuff over MTP like the useless (to me at least) Alarms, DCIM, Movies, Notifications, Podcasts, and Ringtones folders, all of which are empty, it will either give me an error like device has stopped responding check the connection or it will wipe the entire internal SD card and not let anything be created there anymore. So I deleted them using Astro with no issues but still deleting files I don't need, this includes simple things like mp3s I don't listen to anymore, will sooner or later lead to the internal SD card getting wiped or device has stopped responding check connection errors. Will look into that app though, am hoping for free apps but 99cents I can't argue with.

There is a free version for you to try out first. I see, I don't normally delete those folders. I use solid file explorer for all file management needs from my phone. Again, not free since now its out of beta. OI File manager is another reliable file manager I used to use.
And from what I'm hearing is you probably need to run media scanner after deleting or messing with your Internal Storage. Try TricksterMOD's media scanning option here then replug the phone to PC.

It's nothing with media scanning, weather I'm looking in the Nexus 7 on my desktop through MTP or on the 7 itself with Astro it shows the internal SD card empty except for the Android folder (which is now empty and nothing is ever recreated back in it, apps just give errors when they try to save stuff), and looking at Storage in settings shows that everything is actually deleted too.
And I tried the WiFi File explorer, it's simple and thus so far seems reliable to me, looks like it'd be worth 99cents.
Edit: Forgot to say I have tried rerunning the media scanner with TricksterMOD, but as I said no luck.

My speed varied from 800KBps to 1.1MBps tops, which I find odd cause the network is idle and my laptop is connected at 9MBps (72Mbps) and the 7 is connected at 8MBps (65mbps).
I just LOVE how WiFi N gave us that huge speed boost from G's 7MBps. Not.

Interesting, I was actually thinking that my 40 megbits per sec was a little slow considering my network can handle more than that, maybe its browser limitations. I never looked into it much because the files I transfer are usually less than 1 gig which takes all of a couple minutes to finish.

Well after a quick Google search apparently the 65Mbps is the max for the 7, sad it can't do faster but when you think about it how many people did they expect to be trying wifi file transfers and stuff on a tablet? Lol, as for the even slower than 65Mbps speed I'm getting (about 8Mbps compared to your 40) I'm going to go ahead and blame on my Clear Internet cheapo router.

I've got a ~6month old Acer Aspire Timeline X (5830TG), it's in no way slow with an Intel i5, 6GB RAM, WiFi N, not going to go into a nerd bragging rant so I'll stop there... Lol, I use Chrome but tried Firefox too and both worked the same. I might do some more testing to compare speeds between apps and try some of the less user friendly but more stable Android FTP clients, see if the more mature interface has any speed boost.

Same with me, typing every little detail of a computer and having it all memorized like the back of my hand. Haha.
Well results didn't go as well as expected. A 1.2GB file from computer to tablet went at 1.6MBps (12.8Mbps) and the same file from tablet to computer went at 977KBps (7.6Mbps). An odd note is speeds decreased ~40% when I turned on WiFi High Performance in TricksterMOD. I would test MTP speed but fear it corrupting my Nexus 7 again, and would test FTP compression but don't see that helping seeing as nearly everything transferred to/from a tablet is already compressed (jpegs, mp4s, mp3s) and would most likely slow the tablet to a crawl from taxing the CPU so much.
Edit: A SD speed test "SD Card Tester" app shows 16MBps read and 13MBps write with a ~600MB file, while using ROW scheduler. So that shows a maximum speed for a file transfer.

Wow didn't think of trying that, although I didn't think that my memory read speeds went that fast.
