You have just stated that you have a problem. This is a technical forum - please provide some technical information. For example a few minimal lines of code showing send and receive.

You arent sending all data. Save the received data and compare it with the original. My tip is, that you send a string and use the string length, but you need to send the buffer size. One character has 2 bytes of buffer.

I have done what you have said, for example i have sent an audio file from android to C using tcp/ip protocol. I have received the audio file but with some data loss in it. For ex 4 bytes is sent i am able to receive 4 bytes but there is a mismatch in the bytes when i check the properties. But the file is playing good how to overcome the few data loss.
