File transfer issues

[Brando457]

WHen i attempt to transfer files to my Wizard it freezes. The file size is 300mb to my 1GB SD card. It is a movie and whenever I try to copy it from my PC to the phone via USB it freezes.

I have only been able to transfer small .cab files and .mp3s....

What can I do to fix this besides buying a separate reader?

Do you have a SD card slot on your PC? Or a Card reader device? Try to take out the MINI SD, plug it in to its SD card adapter (if you have it) and copy it directly on to the card. Then place back the MINI SD card in the device.

It is quite difficult to say if it is your USB connection or active sync, your PC or something else ...

In case you do not have a card reader:
Maybe you have WLAN? Try to copy it via wifi then ...

Yep,
lots of choices, lots of possibilities - and lots of things which can go wrong! :D

how would i go about copying it via wifi?

Quite hard to explain if I do not know what hardware you have (such as wireless home network, router, accesspoint) and if you have experiences in setting up wireless connections (infrastructure if router / ap exists - ad-hook if not).

In case you do not have any experiences it would be too difficult to explain anyway. You might want to check your USB? What ActiveSync version are you using? What Windows version ...

You see: there are a lot of components and information needed in order to help you one way or another! Never forget: people who are trying to help on here know only as much about your problem as you post ... :cool:

Heh i have wifi all setup I have verizon fios. I can connect via my phone to the network thought maybe i had to do a certain procedure. What i did though was upload it to my ftp then connect from my phone and transfer it like that. While it was time consuming ti worked at least.

Activesync version 4.5, windows xp. I'm probably just going to give in and go buy a sd card reader tomorrow.
