MTP performance seems a bit better with Windows 8.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcoliveirajr:
MTP is a Microsoft Technology, so this is why it bugs hahah, I read some people complaining about the cloud, so I would just say it's fine, here in Brazil, we have poor and slow 1MB maximum 3G all around the country.. Sometimes we can't get even EDGE..

I think UMS sounds to be impossible with Nexus 4.. The device would need to be partioned another time, emulating that you have a sdcard (Like 3GB for apps + 3GB as sdcard), if you already used a device with an sdcard, you know that you can't move all apps to sdcard..

Sorry for Bad English..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
dont like MTP as well. I cant connect my phone to PS3. It just says "unkown device". Same goes for my car mp3 player. When i connect via usb wire, it just gives me an error "usb device not recognized". I am not crying about it but this is one of the feature I miss using HTC device.

Worst of all I cant even connect Nexus 4 to Google Chromebook.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
Yes it improved some things like not having to have dedicated space and not risking corruption when unplugging but sadly it created several new problems. In my case

Transfer of lots of small files takes forever

You can't just start a load of things copying and leave it because at some point it will stop and ask you to confirm if you want to copy a file that is not compatible with your device (mp3 file wtf?)

You can no longer plug it into devices like car stereos because the expect ums storage

It often bugs out and will not show you the full contents of sdcard requiring you to rescan or reboot before you can copy some files.

Overall in my opinion mtp has caused more problems than it solved but sadly it looks like it is here to stay

My MTP is pretty fast
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamelton:
sounds like MTP is both angel and devil..

unfortunately its devil to me..

for the 3 mobile phones and the Win7 pc i have, one mobile (Huawei IDEOS X5 if that matters) uses UMS and it works happily with my pc.. the other 2 (Nexus 4 & Sony Xperia S) use MTP and its almost impossible to do anything with the stored data (extremely slow folder scanning with lots of files like the photos folder, incorrect display of data content such as missing files that are transferred to the phone hours ago, other strange issues e.g. there exist both a folder named "TitaniumBackup" and a file with the same name! and the result is i cant copy anything from that folder to my pc for backup purpose)

so forgive me those who are with the mtp angel, im afraid i have to use the word "hate" to describe it..

The best way to sync & transfer files for MTP & PTP only android devices

There is an enhanced article of talkdroid.com titled “Best android apps for transferring files over wifi” about copying files to pc.

I'm a user of Airdroid for a long time but its wireless file transfer is very troubled when it comes to big files and folders. Also it doesn't support windows-1254 charset in files inside zip so file names comes corrupted when i try to open & extract archive.

Samba is the best free choice in that article but it requires root.

I almost give up hope to find an alternative way to MTP or PTP on android without root... Then i read that Solid Explorer can create a ftp server and allows file transfer via ftp.

"If a paid app can do that then probably i can find a free app on Google Play market", i said to myself and i found it!

Thank to File Manager (Explorer) of Rhytm Software ** i copied my 24GB directory and its files via file sharing with ftp. It is also very easy with Filezilla on Windows or Linux. (If you see low transfer speeds then make sure your device screen is always on or try to change ftp connection settings in Filezilla.)

TIP: When you're using wireless to transfer files (for example AirDroid etc. ), you should try mobile-hotspot instead of existing wi-fi networks. I saw that it is more fast and reliable than cheap wifi routers.

There is an another alternative for NFC enabled android and ios users which i found on xda-developers: “ Transfer Files Fast with Fast File Transfer ”

It is 20x faster than bluetooth file transfer and easiest way on android but unfortunately it doesn't work on nexus 7 and some other android devices that doesn't have tethering settings. =/

PS: I discovered that HD (tablet) version of Rhytm Software's Explorer fails to upload files from computer to android on 4.3 (Nexus 7 2012). The normal (phone) version works fine.

I also found another free* alternative for Airdroid (practical file transfer via browser) with drag & drop support: "WebSharingLite (File Manager) (NextApp, Inc.)"

also without drag & drop support (via HTTP File Server HFS): ""HFS ~ HTTP File Server (rejetto.com)""

* "FREE, AD-FREE, AND UNCONSTRAINED: The Lite version of WebSharing is entirely free. There are no advertisements displayed, neither on your phone/tablet itself nor in your web browser. Drag-and-drop file upload is included. There are no file-size limitations in the free version. The full version adds more features, but the Lite version is intended to be very functional and useful by itself..

The full version adds the following additional capabilities:

+ A music player that enables you to stream music from your phone/tablet to your computer. Browse your entire music collection, or by artist, album, or playlist.

+ Browse photo and video galleries.

+ Access your device as a disk drive from your computer using WebDAV.

+ Enable a guest access account with customizable restrictions."

**Another and probably more stable free program and it's detailed review by spicytricks.com: WiFi File Transfer by Androidder. It allows practical two way file transfer on Android to PC to Android.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edibles:
Me too... as [MENTION=4369623]@rbiter[/MENTION] says it is probably a driver issue... Maybe a customized linux distro like Linux Mint or DSL (Damn Small Linux) can be used for stable MTP transfers...

In my case i'm a victim of old OS (wxp) so after 30-40 minutes gives me an error and stops transfering :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
No. You download WiFi high performance widget. It disables low power mode WiFi when screen is off. I dont use it as a widget as I dont need it much. Just go in the app and work the magic for big transfers or overnight transfers.

ADB backup

Copying/Backup through MTP is really frustrating.

There are a number of ADB backup tools, however I wanted to keep it simple.

I use a simple batch script to back up the required folders. Example is as below. Hope it helps :good:

Copy the contents below and paste into a notepad. Save as ADB.bat.

Note: You will have to modify the paths depending on where your ADB installed + The path of the folder on your phone that you want to pull and also the path to where you want to copy the contents (destination).

MTP sucks, it should just die.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenida:
I can't handle why Google didn't check this. MTP is s***t!!!

On Nexus devices we are forced to use that, because there's no alternative. No Mass storage mode, No MicroSD..

You can use that just for big files, but when you backup data and folders there are a lot of small files to transfer and this kills MTP.

So I make an archive of my Backup in tar format (not compressed), and I had success on high speed transfer (10-15MB/s on Nexus 4). Then you should unpack the mega tar file, but it writes on nand at high speed... even better than MTP which transfer at 20-30KB/s (small files) -.-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
I've been troubleshooting voice recognition issues for a while now dating back to the GS3 before I got the GN2. So this will not be phone specific.

This applies to an unrooted and locked GN2. In other words, full stock. I am running Go Launcher but that should not matter.

Statement of Problem ("Problem"): Google Now voice search, and Google voice recognition from keyboard microphone buttons, will often not connect to Google over 3G/4G with valid data connection, with the screen showing "Initializing" (when on Google Now) for 20 seconds and then "Can't connect to Google" message, or a frozen/suspended microphone icon when attempting voice recognition via keyboard. Note: The Problem does NOT happen when on WiFi.

Analysis: Google Now and Google voice recognition services work fine on wifi. When driving, signal shows 3G or 4G with 2 or more signal bars, however, Problem symptoms appear.I confirm 3G/4G data because web browsers work and Google Play store works.

During troubleshooting, I learned that Google Now and Google voice recognition services require an active internect connection - however I have confirmed I do have an active internet connection via 3G/4G because Google Play works. The stock voice recognition via stock keyboard does NOT require active internet connection. I have confirmed that the mic button on the stock keyboard always works over 3G/4G. I have confirmed the mic on Swift Key keyboard, when Google voice services is selected as input mode, does not work on 3G/4G but does on wifi. But this cant be a Swift Key issue because whenever the mic does not work, Google Now voice recognition does not work.

What I have ruled out: It always works on wifi. Almost always does not work on 3G/4G despite confirmed signal. I turned OFF wifi just in case the code has a bug thinking there should be a wifi signal which is not present. I tried turning OFF Google Now and still have same problems with Google search and Google voice recignition.

What I think i found: I uninstalled the Play Store Update for Google Search to return Google Search to stock version of Google Search App. As soon as I do that, Google Now and Google voice recognition services work again over 3G/4G.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If so, can you try and uninstall the Google Search update and go back to the Google Search stock app to see if it works? You can always reinstall the update to compare.

I am out of ideas. I want my Google Now and Google voice recog over 3G/4G in addition to wifi.

Adam

P.S. One last note..... I searched high and low on the internet and cannot find folks with this problem. So that tells me maybe it is a setting on my phone? But I am good at this... I cant figure it out. If my un-installationof the Google Search Update fixes this... I may have found an unreported bug! I am testing this solution now over next 48 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hamsterskate:
I had the same problem couple times when not on wifi at home. Not big deal for me but will keep it in mind in case it go worst. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mebobio:
voice

I notice the problem after I got the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon, and updated Google search. The Voice to text stopped working. That first update I believe was on December fifth 2012, and then the update of Google search today, December 13th 2012.

First update: 12/5/2012,

Second update: 12/13/2012.5pm EST

App update of Google Search

The app update downloaded just fine, no issues with the updated download at all.

No error messages at all.

When I install the update, the microphone on voice to text just times out. I can go to Google Now and when I hit the mic there it will time out a few times, but eventually it will light up and work that 1 time. Then have to hit it a few more times to get it again. But with text messaging, won't work at all. If I have already clicked on the mic button, and I get a notification of a new email, which goes to my bluetooth, it will light up and work that one time. Also just noticed that after the update, if I go to settings: bluetooth, and un click media audio, the update mic will then work. I have tried a few different bluetooth earpieces, blueant Q2, jawbone era, Motorola elite flip, and Motorola Silver, all with the same outcome.After update of Google Search, voice mic will not work unless media audio is un-checked, but then I lose navigation and all other messages to the bluetooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BarryH_GEG:
This solved another problem that was driving me nuts. Over Wi-Fi or 3/4G unlocking via personalized voice commands in S Voice (other than "Hi Galaxy") weren't working at least 75% of the time in totally quiet rooms. Uninstalling the Search update reversed the percenteges. Also getting S Voice to properly record the personalized voice commands was a hit or miss mess. That's not an issue now either. Google's got some work to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
So far after 24 hours the Problem I identified in the first post is solved provided the Google Search update is NOT installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fluidj:
This might not even be device specific. I believe this is the same issue I observed on my wife's Galaxy Nexus this weekend. She just got the phone a couple of weeks before me, but doesn't really explore all the features. I was trying to demonstrate how cool Google Now and Voice was.....needless to say, the performance issues as you've noted here pretty much soured her to the idea of even bothering to use Voice search and google now.

I'll see if she has the update and try uninstalling it.

I haven't had any issues with it on my Note 2 however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Confirmed on my phone that this happens. But I also found out that if I click the mic before waiting for everything to load in Google Now, the issue doesn't occur. Very odd...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
I can confirm that the after one week of testing, the Problem disappears if the Google Search update is removed. Once I add the update back, the Problem begins again.

There is very little on the internet about this from my searching. It seems others on this thread can confirm the issue. Do you other guys not notice this happening or do you not use Google Now while on 3G/4G and no WIFI. If it's working for you (the majority of the time), do you have the Google Search update installed or is your phone factory stock and you never updated Google Search from the Play Store?

By the way I am not rooted or unlocked.

How do I tell Google about this? I mean someplace real where they'll respond if they know about it or log it for an app update? (yeah right).

Uninstalling Google Search did not solve the problem for me!

I have been searching the net to solve this problem and came across your post. This solution did not work on my Note 2. Very frustrating as the ability to speak a text is very convenient and necessary for me. I press the button and can not get the red to appear. When on WiFi it works. Please help with this because not a lot of folks are having the issue as nothing online....this may be the only thing. REALLY NEED THIS FEATURE! HELP!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamHLG:
Thanks! I'll post the issue to Google using that link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sudermatt:
Confirming.

Worked when I first loaded a custom rom...then after a week or so, Google search would just initialize. Based on this thread, I went into application manager and saw "Uninstall Update" which I did....now I'm gold again...

What would happen if I build android from source and flash it to my One X?

- (source)

Will I brick my device? Did HTC basically just take the code and modify it to work on the One X? Any suggestions on how to proceed if I were to build my own ROM?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
If you have no experience in this you are likely to f*** things up.

Just stick to aosp roms - same result.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] zettez:
Well that is no fun answer. I want to learn. I make apps for a living and want to advance and build my own ROM, because I want an all custom made one. I know I can go with CM and mod their code (or, can I?), but it would be more fun to actually do it from scratch. If it is possible, not build from AOSP at all. I know it sounds retarded but I believe the best way to learn is do as much as possible completely from scratch.

With that said, do you have any suggestion on where to start? Like mod the AOSP source code and get it running on the emulator?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You can branch cm10 and build that, it's a good place to start, you'll learn a lot.

After that, you may want to say, diff the AOSP kernel against a similar HTC kernel to see how many changes you'd be required to make to pure AOSP to get it to work with all the hardware specific bits.

Due to GPL, HTC are required to release the source modifications to the kernel and android (I assume), for any released binaries, but they can be a little slow. The JB stuff should be out soon, in theory. Hopefully that's enough to get everything working, but you will also need any binary drivers from nVidia etc.

It's a long road, and you'd do well to start with something working and work backwards towards AOSP.

I'm not sure what you mean by not even with AOSP, do you intend to create your own OS?
[HTC One X] zettez:
Thanks for the thorough information! If it is possible to create your own OS, then yes, it would be awesome. Actually my idea is to make a ROM similar to the Linux distribution Tiny Core Linux; only the most essential stuff are present and bloatware and other features are removed. It could maybe serve as a good starting point for other ROMs to build on that want a minimalistic base. However, that is very, very far into the future. Now I would just like to compile a ROM that I have developed. But as I said before, if possible, skip AOSP and build my own OS definitely! Is that even possible?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Of course its possible, Android wasn't invented by some higher being or alien lifeform.

Nobody would use it though, because there would be no apps.
[HTC One X] zettez:
I see, so I am locked to AOSP then? i better start with the CM branch, thanks a bunch.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
(I'm assuming you're using Windows, specify if otherwise)

Use something like md5sum.exe (or for something fancier, check out HashTab) and verify the zip file has MD5: 55023cc10b59fdec0aaa6695c4cf83fb

Are you certain the file on your ext_sd is named PJ53IMG.zip and not PJ53IMG.zip.zip? You can verify this in Windows Explorer by going to Tools > Folder Options > View tab > Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" (see screenshot)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
You can do as mdmower says or just click on the file to see if it opens. Windows will tell you if it is corrupt.

It sounds to me like it is not being copied to the right location. I would try a card reader and see what happens with that.
