USB file transfer abortion problem

[Guest chyang]

When I connected my phone to my PC and transfer large files to my SD card on the phone, say about 10MB mp3 files to the phone, it stopped at some part of the copy progress, and then the ActiveSync will report disconnected. I can do nothing but remove the cable and re-insert it and then re-connected.

Has any one else met this problem? What's the problem inside? Is there any solution for this one?

I have a MPX200 with smartphone 2003 system, with a Kinston Elite Pro 512MB SD card.

Thanks.

Best thing to do is get a card reader for large files as Activsync can have a habit of timing out while transfering large files.

Thanks, so it's the problem with ActiveSync, not my SD card. I will take your advice. :D

The problem is not with Activesync it's with WM2003. I tried to copy a large movie file (145mb) I created with PocketDivXEncoder and with WM2003 at about 50mb it timed out all the three times I tried. With WM2002 everything went smooth. I believe there's something with WM2003. Also make sure you have at least Activesync 3.7, although I recommend using a 3.8 :D

I'm using 3.8.0, still met the problems. ;)

Activsync has need known to timeout etc with large files since the first SPV so that blows the 2003 v 2002 idea out of the water :D

As we have said here from day one get yourself a card reader, for the sake of a few ££ it will save you time as well as hassle.

OK, but are you still trying to copy the file from WM2003? Give it a go with 2002 and tell me if this works... Know that it will take some time to copy it and it may re-copy it after it has finished. So let it finish (both times if it's needed) and your file will be there for sure!

I don't know about that, but I just stated what I've encoutered with both OS' And since it copied the file without the need of spending more €€€ for a card reader I'm happy :D

Another trick I have learnt with larger files and this goes for PPC as well

keep pressing the direction button every minute or so it appears to keep the phone awake and makes downloading files more reliable.
