I've recently gotten a new LG Optimus G E975 phone (with android), and wanted to wirelessly transfer files from my (stationary) computer to the phone. So I installed the ES File Explorer app and shared a folder on my computer and was able to connect and transfer. The speed was however very bad. It was stable at around 700-750 kB/s and this is without anything else taking up speed on the network.
It should be a class 12 SD card in my phone, but I also ran a test with the SD Card Tester app and it showed that the writing speed to the SD card was about 15 MB/s (so this shouldn't be the problem).
Using the AirDroid app to transfer files between my phone and computer yields similar poor speed.
It should be noted that when I transfer files between my laptop and stationary computer, there is no issue with the speed. The WLAN specs of my phone should be: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n which I guess is fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve the transfer speed? Thanks in advance.
Assuming that the speed reported is in kb (which is most likely), you're getting a throughput of 5.6MB/s, which isn't too bad. How do you have the computer hooked up to the network, wireless or wired to a router? Is your phone connecting to the router? If so, how far from the router is your phone when you try to do this? – Taegost – 2013-07-19T19:29:09.700
@Taegost: It's 700 KB/s, so that for example a 700 MB file takes roughly 14 minutes to transfer. My computer is hooked up by cable and my phone is about 2 metres from the router which sends the wireless signal. – Stefan – 2013-07-19T20:21:23.250
