Hey
Wanted to copy my music folder to my tablet so I draged and dropped the music folder and it copied for a while then it says that the usb device has stopped responding. So I had to disconnect and connect.
Now I have to copy like 20-30 folders and repeat doing that and after a while it gives the same error again so i have to disconnect and connect again and start copying again.
It have taken me several hours just to copy 12 GB music. Is there any fix for this? Copy to different usb devises and my phone works good.
I want to copy some movies to the tablet too but I have a feeling it's going to be a hell doing that...
I don't have the best answer but can tell you what I did. I decided to use an external micro SD card instead and copied everything to it in a card reader and then put the card into the tablet. I am using a cheapo 32gb class something card I found at Fry's.
I had decided to take the tablet out of the mix early on because my rooted Xoom tablet does the same thing after copying over a bunch of stuff on Linux.

Hey, I'm having a problem copying a 300 megabyte wmv file from my computer to my 2 gig stick. Whenever it gets to about 5~10% goes back to 0 and starts again, does anyone have this problem? Or, does anyone know what's the matter?
Thanks!
BTW, my card is a 2 gig MiniSD on my Cingular 8125.
i havent tried this.. dont use my phone much for music and video, mostly just all data... but is it going through activstink? if so is it converting the file? and 300meg file going through the phone takes a while, i would try using your mini sd adapter and a card reader and connect it to your pc and just copy it over that way
Oh, thank you for the reply, I'll try to directly transfer it from PC to stick instead of through activesync. No, it says conversion (none) so I assume it is not converting. I will see if I can plug the stick into my computer.
Btw, when I remove my stick should I power off my 8125? Almost everything is installed into my stick.
Edit: Nope, , there is no place on my computer for me to plug my stick directly into.
no need to power off... and you should have gotten an SD adapter for your mini SD card. after putting the mini sd card into the SD adapter then would need a SD card reader which are very inexpensive to acquire if you dont have one already. then plug the reader into the computer, the computer should recognize it as a removable storage device. just drag and drop...
Alright, thank you! Yes it did come with an adapter. Is there anyway to copy large files through activesync?
you should be able to.. but with my experience it just takes forever... i copied my iguidance map for a friend one time and its 600meg... took 30 minutes to complete. I only copy large files via the adapter nowadays
Yeah, I don't mind waiting 15-30 minutes, it's just that it resets itself and I have no idea if I can ever get it on my phone via activesync.
Edit: I'm trying a different method, right clicking the file and going to send to.. then selecting device, then they prompt me to choose the destination within the device, so far so good. I'll edit again if it's successful or not.
SUCCESS!!
WM5Storage
I use WM5Storage instead, for large files. Works better and faster, than ActiveSync.
Well phone was working spot on before but now when i plug my phone into my computer the external sd storage does not come up so i can't move things direct to the external sd card from my computer. but the phone knows it there cause its in "my files" application and its where my music is stored and it plays the music fine. but the external sd card doesn't come up as a directory in kies or normal windows file organiser.. its really strange. any ideas apart from a flash? it was working but then i installed that stop media scanner thing (deleted it now after restarting the media scanning) but since then this has happened. I mean its now the end of the world since the phone sees it and can use it and i can transfer from my phone to my sd card but its just weird that it no longer comes up when connected to pc.
Cheers if you read that and if you can help that would be awesome!
make sure USB Debuging is enabled
then after connect to PC or MAC
you have to select from drop down tab Mount
I purchased a Samsung GT-I5801 Android phone and a 32GB micro sdhc card. My goal was to use it as a smart phone and an mp3 player; essentially as an iphone at a fraction of the price. The phone works great and the android apps are fun, but the mp3 player functionality has eluded me. I have about 20GB of music and I can’t get it onto the card and/or into the phone.
I have tried transferring the data directly onto the card in two different laptops (both running windows xp sp3-hotfixed to recognize high capacity sdhc cards). Both computers can see the cards and recognize them as 32GB cards. I can transfer files back and forth from the card. I have used windows explorer to transfer the files as well as other programs: Windows Media Player, Media Monkey, FreeFileSync, Doubletwist, Winamp, and Samsung Keis.
I have also tried transferring the music to the phone with the card installed in the phone. I have tried this via all the above programs, including wirelessly transferring via Winamp. The process either stops and/or fails unexpectedly (twice producing the blue screen of death) or appears to complete successfully but turns out to only produce 2GB of music on the card while showing 20GB of space used on the card. The entire file structure for the music files is there but most of the files are empty even though the transfer process shows that they should be there. Then, when I remove and install the card again, the 18GB of space is freed up again to show that only 2GB (or less) of music is there. It is not always the same 2GB of music either. It seems random as to what files are transferred.
I have done a factory reset on the phone twice to make sure that it’s not the corrupted music database on the phone that is preventing all the music being recognized. I have also reformatted the card 3 times during this process. I have tried the following usb connections settings options in the phone: Keis, media player, and mass storage. I have also tried with usb debugging turned on and turned off.
I have a couple of questions:
1- Has anyone else had similar problems and how did you solve it?
2- Is there a maximum file limit per directory, or for music in general?
I’m at the end of my rope here, and am starting to wonder if the money I’ve saved by not buying an Iphone is worth the time and aggravation of this process. I have never posted a question on a tech forum before, but I’m desperate after spending a couple of weeks trying to solve this on my own.
you laptops sd reader is not sdhc Compatibility
try format card in you phone

is the card working on your friends phone? you must have atleast one guy who has a mobile which supports 32 gb card transfer all the music you want and see if all songs are detected in that mobile or not, if not your memory card is defective otherwise there is problem in your mobile.
Thank you for your reply. According to the specs on my netbook (Samsung NP-NC10) the reader is sdhc compatible. I have ordered an usb sdhc card reader to test the theory. I'll let you know how that works. I have formatted the card at least 3 times in my phone and have tried to transfer files with the card installed in my phone via the supplied usb connection cable. I have the same results.
Am I right in assuming that if my phone and sdhc card are working properly then I should have no problems transferring a large amount of music?
Has anyone else transfered 20GB of music to their Android and had success using it as an mp3 player?
have you test your 32gb sd card is real 32gb?
try hdtune or other tools like in windows ,or try full format in windows ?
if windows is hang ,over 2gb is can't read and write ...
i think you sd is fake card ..
Thank you for your suggestion to use hdtune. I tested my card with hdtune pro and it is a 32gb card that is healthy and has no errors.
I guess this means that I have a bad mobile? I wonder about transfering all my files again and then trying a factory reset on the phone.
I have not considered rooting the phone as I am new to this, but would that be a potential solution for this problem?
is in hdtune error scan ,full scan 32gb is not error?
sd card and card reader in phone is very Weak..
Update on progress
I have now checked the card using hdtune and reformatted it twice. hdtune detected no errors at any time.
I also purchased a usb sdhc card reader specifically. Just in case my built in readers were malfunctioning, but that has not solved the problem either.
I can transfer the files to the card. I can even read and access the files on the card on my computer. However, when I put the card into the phone, but files are not there, and the file folders are empty. Then, when I put the card back into my computer the files are gone.
I found this link on another forum with the same problem. While it is comforting to know that I am not the only one with this problem, I am still looking for a solution. Has anyone found one?
Found the problem!
I downloaded the H2test and used it to test my card. hdtune and windows did not discover the problems with the card, but this program did.
Apparently I purchased a 2gb card that was labeled as a 32gb card. The packaging and printing on the card all look like a legitimate Kingston class 4 32 gb sd card, but the actual card only has 2 gb capacity.
Apparently, the card tricked my windows computers by writing an index for all of the files I was transferring but only actually transferring up to 2 gb of data. That is why I could read some of the files on my phone, but not others.
If you are having similar problems, I would highly recommend this program!

Thanks to all who tried to help me, your suggestions were very helpful!
so the card is fake 32gb but only have 2gb.why hdtune error full scan can not find it?
Hello everyone
I m having serious trouble with my new 64gb Sandisk Ultra SDXC card in my Galaxy S5
I had a 32gb Kingston, an HDSC card, which i synced with itunes using tunesync or something, without any trouble.
I have ever since been using Jriver and Media Monkey for music.
So when i tried touse them to sync to my new Sd Card i kept having problems. Meaning, even when the process completed without errors, the phone didn't behave normaly.
It wouldn't properly recognize it anymore and when i rebooted it started checking for errors. When after some minutes it completed, it was working perfectly BUT whereas i had left a 1 Gb free space before it now showed me that it had a 55-56 gb free space!!! I went into the Music folder created by MEdia Monkey and Jriver, i formated and used both from scratch, it had all the folders, in a structure of Artist - Album, but only the folders up until B or C had music files in them!!! Whereas the media players and windows explorer showed me that the transer of all the files was successful, meaning they all showed 1gb free space before i rebooted the phone.
I went on to using the card reader of my brothers laptop, and used SDFormater to Format the card successfully. I suspected a faulty card so i also used the Overwrite Erase option that basically writes in all the sectors of the card. It naturally took a lot of time but finished WITHOUT ANY ERRORS. So i tried to sync it through the card reader, using media monkey and my portable library, in a portable hard disk so it was easy. Once again the SAME THING HAPPENED.
I also tried formating it in my phone and then syncing it again through the card reader and it still worked the same way.
Considering the limitations of KitKAt and Android L, i am running the new Android 5.0 in my S5, imposed in external Sd cards i was thinking that maybe there is a size limit to any folder outside the ANDROID folder, the only space that the OS lets apps write. Because what is left in those folders, the remaining songs, are flawlessly recognized by Poweramp and play correctly. My sdcard even passes the tests of A1 SD Bench.
Can anyone confirm this or has anyone ever had a similar problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance :good:
PS
I am using Windows 8.1, the laptop had Windows 7 and the latest edition of Media Monkey and JRiver
So nobody has any idea what happens?
Looks i am the only one with this problem.
Bummer...
Hello everyone. I have a Nook Color that I am running CM7 on. It's working great (compared to how slow it was when I had CM10 on it), can run most apps and games just fine. However, I have a number of movies and TV shows I would like to be able to watch (the SD card I bought to use for all this is a 32GB card, bought specifically to have space for apps and videos). However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to actually get the video files onto the tablet. Here's what I've done so far and what I've read about:
1. Started with my tablet turned off, plugged it into the computer, and turned it back on. At first, I was getting the device installing window popping up on my computer, but quickly disappearing and nothing connecting. Eventually I got a notification saying I needed to restart my computer to finish installing, so I did that. Next time I plugged my tablet in, the device installation screen stayed up until the bar was complete (a couple minutes). Throughout this process, I manually went to the notifications list on my tablet and continuously turned on the USB storage option any time I reconnected. Still nothing. It does charge however.
2. I've also tried two different USB connector cords, all three of my USB ports, and restarting my computer multiple times.
3. I also tried to see if I could go the Bluetooth route, but that didn't really go too far. Got the two things paired and they claimed they were connected, but it didn't work out at all.
Any other options, or any thoughts on things I can try? Thanks for any help.
Well, first the Nook Color has no Bluetooth antenna so the range is inches, not feet.
Second, you need to configure the device properly. Go to settings and turn off USB debugging. Can't remember exactly where that is on CM7. Second, you need to set up USB Mass Storage. If I remember right go to storage and hit the advanced button under the menu. Then when connected do the notification turn on thing.
As a last resort take the sd out and insert it in the PC to transfer the files.

I thought about just putting the files onto the SD card (I have no issue with that), but I wasn't sure where to put them. Do you know what directory it has to be in?
To clarify, the SD card I want to put the videos on is the SD card that SM7 is installed on. I don't know if that changes anything, but when I put the SD card into my laptop, I just get a bunch of unusable files. Can I not transfer files that way (direct from PC to SD)?
Otherwise I found apps that would allow me to transfer over wifi, but I don't know what directory to put them into.

Since you have CM installed to SD that copy on to sd inserted in PC will not work. You cannot see the right partition with windows.
And wifi transfer works great for me. Just put them anywhere and once on the nook you can use the file manager to move them where you want.
