hello

until one month ago i had an old pc with usb1 so my transfer data was limited at 700 kb. now i have o good pc with usb2 but my transfer is still at 700 kb. i changed cables I changed usb hub but speed is still low. does n95 8gb have usb2 or not. I read that it have but why my transfer speed is so slow. what i have to do to increase transfer speed?

[grigo53]

no suggestion?

[coolbelief]

I am afraid its not going to increase! i have used N95 8GB for almost a year, got a brand new pc with usb 2 but the transfer speed was slow right from the start, tried it on a Linux Distro, copied 50 mb file, it gone from 0 to 35 almost in 4 second and then stopped there, never finished!

in short i thin you a stuck with that transfer rate! (if i m correct)  

[grigo53]

But why? In specification n95 8gb have usb2. Is it a lie?

[coolbelief]

Yes you are right in specs it is v2.0 miniUSB, and on 5800 XM it is v2.0 microUSB, on 5800XM i m getting 5 MB/s so i don't know whether its "mini" and 'micro" difference or b'coz N95 8GB's on board memory vs 5800XM's SD card, i m not sure!

 by the way i am using Sandisk 8GB on 5800XM

with micro usb you can charge your phone. is nobody from nokia here? i thought here we can have specialist support. but i saw we ask and we give answers depending of our experiences with our phones. this is not good.

This is meant to be a user to user forum and not an official Nokia support site, hence you get other users trying to help you from their own experience. There are Nokia employees here but they are here in their personal capacity and you don't always get replies from them. Best bet if you want an official answer from Nokia is to use the "Contact us" tab to the top right of this screen.

I'm afraid that the N95 8GB only transfers at the achingly slow rate you're experiencing. I'm not sure if it's the memory itself or the USB bus on the device, but you might be better off trying to transfer over wi-fi or something.

[grigo53]

how can i use wifi transfer?

[sockatume]

My reasoning didn't get that far. Is Home Media on the phone? That should work for pics and music at least.

[grigo53]

i have home media but i don't know how to connect to pc

[sockatume]

You have to be running something like Windows Media Player 11, and tell it to share your media on the network.

i just tried symsmb 4.0 and transfer via wifi is just 550 kb per second so even slower than usb. still waiting for the answer why n95 8gb don't use usb2 speed transfer. thank you.

[grigo53]

no solution?

I don't think anyone here knows the answer to that question.

Here is the reason as to why the old N95 8GB has slow USB transfer speeds:

Unfortunately if you want faster transfer speeds you need to buy a newer model. The S60v3FP2 models that came out after the N95 8GB (such as the N96) supported the USB 2.0 High Speed standard.

It's not possible to make the N95 8GB support this standard as it's a combination of age, software and hardware that prevent it from happening.

Of course psychomania is always the exception to "anyone".

[grigo53]

thank you for this complete answer. to bad for me but.... I am pleased for my n95 8gb and i will keep it like this.

[psychomania]

@ sockatume lol, just a simple case of a good memory, knowing about the subject and researching a good explanation before posting.

@grigo53 - happy that you've now got your answer eventually. Wish i'd have seen this topic sooner!
