Device Timeout on local wireless transfer
I am using an Alcatel A30 tablet; as indicated in a previous post, I have been using local wireless connection to push books from my computer to this device. This has worked reasonably well up to now, but at the moment there are a large number of books at both ends, and the communication times out consistently when connecting, while transferring the list of books.
The error log is as follows: There was a timeout while communicating with the device in function: Device did not respond in reasonable time Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 90, in run File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 513, in _books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\smart_device_app\driver.p y", line 50, in _synchronizer File "site-packages\calibre\devices\smart_device_app\driver.p y", line 1284, in books File "site-packages\calibre\devices\smart_device_app\driver.p y", line 50, in _synchronizer File "site-packages\calibre\devices\smart_device_app\driver.p y", line 642, in _call_client File "site-packages\calibre\devices\smart_device_app\driver.p y", line 674, in _receive_from_client TimeoutError: There was a timeout while communicating with the device in function: Device did not respond in reasonable time I have restarted both the computer and tablet; this doesn't seem to help. I have also connected to my 5 GHz local network instead of the 2.4, while ensuring that the tablet is the only device on that network. That has not helped either. I have been considering whether connecting via Ethernet would help (it probably would). The computer itself is on Ethernet and not wireless. But I have not been able to find a USB-to-Ethernet adapter online that would be compatible with the Alcatel device. It would have to be Micro USB or else I would need a Micro to USB-C connector for most of the newer adapter types, and I am not sure if that would be feasible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks ! Charles |

If it is any help, the faillure in communication always occurs at exactly 5min2 sec into the book list transfer.
Someone previously had posted about a similar timeout problem (about two years ago) and it was apparently resiolved by uninstalling and reinstalling CC. I have not done that yet; don't know why I should, but I will if that seems to make sense. If it is any help, the debug log from cc at the point of failure looks like this. Error involves writing to a broken pipe: Spoiler:
Thanks for any assistance with this Charles Last edited by theducks; 09-19-2020 at 07:59 PM. Reason: spoiler |

I will presume there is no way to resolve the above. However, I have figured out what alternate approach I should be using and that seems to be working (though there is now another problem which I will post about separately).
To summarize: - using Local Drive connection on the Android device doesn't work because CC will not let me set the directory, other than "\" - using wireless connection will not work because the connection continually times out when transferring the list of books - I can, however, use USB. My device had not been showing up unless I connected wirelessly; but I did not realize that it was in fact being recognized as an MTP device when I connect via USB; however, it only appears if I have the USB connection in place at the time I start Calibre. So I have been transferring files via USB; now I will post about the other problem, which is a directory issue. |
