Guest the.dude Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Just copied around 25mb of mp3s to the phone from my PC. - it took around 8 minutes. Is this the normal transfer rate to the phone, or is it just me ?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Best advice? get yourself a card reader and transfer files that way, much quicker :lol: and yes it probably would take that long ;) using the cradle.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 The cradle has a serial connection, best speed you are looking at is about 115kbps :/
Guest chocobogo Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 I got a 6 in 1 card reader from maplins for £20! Works a treat!
Guest madu Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Yep - cradle is dead slow. I use a ScanDisk reader/writer. Very nice and quick. But it's a USB?? 1.1 or 2.0?? 2.0 is supposedly as fast as 400Mbps. Or is it the phone itself that has serial interface, so No matter whether it's USB/serial..?Yep - cradle is dead slow.

Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Yeh - i had the same problem, get yourself a card reader. you can buy them online from computer retailers, or you can pop into a photograpy shop and get one from there (digicams use a whole selection of mem cards). If you're a student or have student friends pop into a Jessops, they do a student discount! :lol:
Guest Hax Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Don't know about you guys, but my SPV cradle has only an USB connector on it - therefore, the phone *must* be a USB phone! I suspect that the reason the transfer is so slow is because the SPV only implements the slowest version of USB 1.1 (there's two possible speeds with USB 1.1 - full speed: 12Mbps and low speed at just 1.5Mbps - the values are *bits* per second, not bytes per second). It may also be the case that the SPV struggles to run the USB port at the same time as managing it's system utilities and "radio" connections Hax
Guest Bazz Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 The phone has a serial connection at the bottom of it. It's also why the camera update is so slow. It's only given a USB connection for the convience (safer to plug in and out than a serial connection when the computer's on).
Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 But the quesiton needs to be asked.... WHY DO COMPANIES ONLY BUILD A SERIAL PORT INTO DEVICES LIKE THIS?! CAN'T THEY USE SOMETHING A BIT FASTER?! The phone hardware itself can process the data at a decent rate, we can watch DivX on it for f**ks sake! Why do they keep creating bottlenecks with expansion ports?! How much better would the camera be if it ran at 18fps?! Grr.
Guest yatpeak Posted April 4, 2003 Report Posted April 4, 2003 If you use a laptop, I suggest a PCMCIA reader, you can get one from Ebay for about AU$50, which I believe is about 20pounds. Wyatt
Guest okocha10 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Posted April 5, 2003 i think the transfer rate lightning fast! compared to my old sl45i anyway, it took around 10 mins to transfer just one mp3!
