I can't believe how much whining and misinformation is in this thread. First of all, its not that slow. It doesn't take 45 minutes to transfer a 2.5gb movie . I can do it over wifi faster than that. Second, Google didn't "screw anyone over" or fail to give you an option or turn into some awful overlord or something, and the complaining on this level is ridiculous.

If you want to be able to use your entire 16/32gb of storage, it then the entire drive needs to be one partition. That partition can't be mounted as an external USB drive when plugged in to your computer because doing so would require unmounting it from your phone, meaning the phone would be unmounting the partition on which the operating system is stored. It should be obvious why that isn't done.

Finally, this isn't a limitation in ice cream sandwich, it has to do with the way the galaxy nexus is setup. As mentioned, a Nexus S running ICS will happily run in USB storage mode when connected to a computer, because it has a separate partition for he virtual SD card.

MTP works fine and the difference is not apparent to most users. There's nothing wrong with it.

Is this really that hard for people to understand? If they did what you're asking for, your smartphone would quit working as a umm...

phone

every time you plugged it into a computer to transfer over some files.

If you don't like it, wait 6 weeks for another phone to come out with ICS and removable SD storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meaple:
Wait... what?!! No idea what's going on with yours but under 10 mins here for 2.8GB file.

Agreed.

Personally, I love what Google did. Just plug it into a PC and it automatically connects to the phone for you. Simple, easy. Tbh, it is way faster than my Desire anyway so I am not fussed.

I will gladly take your gnex off your hands if it bothers you that bad. 450.00?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
Tell that to my Nexus:

This is about 2.5GB of pictures from my old phone's SD card (copied to SSD first), on a fresh install of Win7x64.

Benefits are, so far, heavily outweighed by the long transfer times.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] texascrane:
You've got some kind of problem there that may or may not be specifically related to your nexus. I would check to make sure that you're running the latest drivers on your pc. I moved several 1-2GB movies onto my nexus the other day and it was fast enough that I didn't pay attention to how long it took (certainly less than 10 minutes).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Something is wrong with your phone and/or your computer. Are you using a USB 1.1 port by chance?

This is about 2GB of photos.

It was even quicker when I was running ARHD, which uses the much faster EXT4. I'm also running Windows 7 x64.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
Like any other transfer to external drives, it's not just about how large a file you move, but also how many files you move. One large 2GB file will move faster than 2,097,152 files that are only 1KB big.

This happens on any transfer to external media be it MTP or USB Mass Storage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julianwong22:
Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone else is having similar issues?

Been trying to transfer files from my PC to the phone through MTP mode on a Windows 7 x64 machine. It seems to hang at times particularly with larger files such as raw photos taken on my SGS2.

I've been able to transfer music files and image files (smaller ones, less than 1MB).

I'm running ICS 4.0.1.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryands991:
I've always had issues transferring on MTP (transfers locking up about 30 seconds or so in, and I'd have to unplug, and replug the phone in for the storage to respond again).

However, now I just use ADB push/pull to transfer files with ease.

I haven't tried file transfers with MTP since I've flashed a new ROM, since the ADB method has worked flawlessly for me.

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Well, I just tried MTP on this new ROM, and it worked fine on a large file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julianwong22:
Never really used ADB push/pull before. Any suggestions on some good tutorials to follow? May have to consider this if I continue having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcfrost:
ADB-Push and MP3's

As it turns out, my Ubuntu machine cannot mount it via mtpfs and my mac needs the extra software (from google) which has problems with the USB-debug mode enabled on the phone.

Thus I fell back on adb push. This works on all my computers but has the drawback that MP3's are not directly visible in the music player. Only a reboot of the phone makes them appear.

Is there a way to trigger music database rebuild?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dev/null/:
Transfer speed issues ppl describe are probably related/limited to something else. I've experienced no such speed issues, in fact I'd say my speeds have increased. It used to take 20-25min to transfer 5GB of data from my PC to my old phone with USB MS. I'm now seeing 10-15min on my nexus.

My ps3 / Xbox get kick out of it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbarrick:
USB Mass Storage gives control of the memory at the filesystem level to the other system. This means that the contents of the memory cannot be safely shared between the phone and computer. Therefore, you cannot use USB Mass Storage on a single partition setup. If you did, most important operating system binaries would not be available. I feel like the operating system would have to shut down before control could be given to another device.

MTP operates on the logical file level. This can be seen as kinda like SMB or FTP. Thus it allows for sharing the filesystem. MTP also allows for access to only a specific area (i.e. user storage) within a partition. This is ideal for a production device that wants to use a single partition, since device manufacturers have a responsibility to the carriers and themselves (in terms of warranty) to prevent access to the system. (And Google provides an easy bootloader unlock if you want to root, which by definition is gaining access to the whole system)

In MTP, files cannot be edited in place and must be re-uploaded in full if you edit the files. MTP is also slightly more intensive on your device's CPU since it works at the logical file level. So, in MTP, Android is in an active communication with your computer's OS to receive files and write them, while in USB Mass Storage the computer's OS is writing directly to the memory.

I can't imagine MTP being the cause of any drastic slowdowns of file transfer because I don't think the protocol data is enough to matter (unless of course there are a bazillion individual files). I'm sure someone could test the memory in USB Mass Storage mode and compare it with MTP. I have a hunch that people seeing slow speeds might have other issues. So far MTP has been working great for me, and from a technical point of view, since it works at a higher level, I tend to think it's a better choice.

EDIT: Come to think of it, MTP on a well set up EXT4 partition might even be faster than USB Mass Storage which would likely be on a FAT partition.

IMO, MTP is the superior choice for access to internal memory since it allows sharing a single partition. To the guy who commented that Google's choice to use MTP is similar to Apple's restrictions, that is far from true. Google allows access to the system for us advanced users through flashing a rooted ROM and restricted access in the stock ROM where they have a responsibility to protect the system level data.

On a side note, I know Windows supports MTP (I mean, it is Microsoft's protocol) and I'm sure most Linuxes and the BSDs have some sort of support, but does anyone know if OS X supports this out of the box?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThemBonesAreMe:
I saw an article a week or so ago about some way to mount the GN in ubuntu. I can't post the link to it, but if you dig around on reddit or omgubuntu you might be able to find it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
I've got to say I'm kind of surprised people are so adamant on using USB to transfer data when there are so many WiFi options (websharing and others) that are out there and work great. ESPECIALLY since I keep my USB cable next to the bed for charging at night and that would go mean getting that and putting it back when I'm done.

But WiFi sharing you just launch the app, go to the web address you have bookmarked in your favorites (or google chrome remembers when you start typing 192.1...), enter your password and you are at a GUI that looks just like Explorer (Finder on Mac?). Make folders, cut/copy/paste, upload, download, etc.

Speed depends on your WiFi - 18-22mbps for g and up to 100mbps on n. Maybe not the fastest possible connection but it seems just as fast or faster than most people are getting with MTP.

Works on all platforms, any network, any computer anywhere.

Just my preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
Why would I even want to bother with Wifi when I can just plug in my phone and do the same things you just mentioned? At faster speeds to boot. USB/MTP is also universal and works on all platforms, any computer, anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevessvt:
One draw back, I feel, to a single partition system is if doing a recovery, the whole phone is wiped. Pics, apps, music, everything gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arich2day:
All of you complaining about slow transfer speeds when directly connected should check your drivers.. and those with complaints about Wi-Fi transfers should do a network upgrade because its clearly not the phone.. the quality/placement/channel interference of your router plays a huge part in transfer speeds..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] syntrix:
You can check your wifi connection speeds...

settings -> wifi -> click on your connect wifi

It will show you your link speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chjade84:
Those are the exact reasons I like WiFi! lol

Minus the "plug it in" of course. From what I'm hearing Macs don't all support MTP without certain software packages, and maybe the same with Linux. I'll give you the transfers are faster when plugged in but for most of the things I transfer it's negligible.

Plus with WiFi I can transfer at work, at my friend's house, my sister's place, maybe the library (if I ever were to go), etc. All places I wouldn't be carrying a cable. No software to install or configure on any PC/Mac/Linux box. Just start up the app and navigate the computer browser to 192.168.x.xxx:2112 and start transferring.

Not trying to start a WiFi vs USB battle or anything - just want to share a very comparable alternative that will work for everyone, is extremely convenient (unless you keep your USB cable attached to your PC), and is at least acceptably quick.

EDIT: Just for fun I tried transferring files between phones and that works, too. It's probably not the best way to do it but nice to know it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommyz2kool:
15 hrs to transfer 2 gigs worth of files? Must be some kind of PEBKAC.

I'm transferring 1325 MP3 files (3.8 gigs) and its supposed to finish in 28 min.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Airdroid. Free. And does much more than just share files.

Sidenote, you have an option to use CTP (the phone shows up as a camera). Doesn't what work on OS X?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
for what it's worth, im using Android File Transfer with my iMac. Not really sure how the speed compares to USB mass storage, but I haven't noticed it being ridiculously slow by any means. I'm actually pretty satisfied that I no longer have to wait for my phone to mount/unmount the SD card (although having SD support still would've been nice)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwakshot:

This is because there are a lot of files that sum up the 2.5 GB. Try a single file instead.
