(removeable) File transfer hickups

---

Ran into a weird bug. I can copy ~50-60 MB from a removeable source (dock cardreader or USB port) at a respectable rate of 12 MB/s, after which the whole system bogs down and stops responding to input for 10-20 seconds. It then copies another 10 MB and stops responding again.

It keeps doing that and then usually crashes about halfway through.

Reproduced in multiple performance modes, and multiple file explorers (stock Explorer and Solid Explorer).


Ideas, or just another bug Asus needs to fix?


EDIT: From what I've gathered most people are having issues like this, like the system bogging down when updates are applied etc. Apparently it's due to a poor system I/O control

If you have root, you can try the SD Speed Increase app and set the cache to 2048. The SD cache is usually too small on stock roms.

Thanks, gave it a try, but it didn't fix it. It improved system responsiveness but it still bugged out after 130MB.

Also, it's no the /sdcard filesystem I'm having trouble with, but the /removeable filesystems.
