Hi:
I just got my Tilt2 today. When I try to open album, it takes a LONG time to load pictures from SD card(storage card/DCIM/. By a long time I am talking like 5-10 minutes. During this process the device becomes basically unusably slow or simply freezes. It is also very slow any other time I try to access SD card files (through file explorer or Resco explorer takes about 1-2 minutes to open SD card), and then is very slow and unresponsive even to scroll the list.
I have tried hard reset, soft reset etc.
Any idea what could cause this? Or, is my device defective?
Thanks!
PS: The problem seems the worst after soft reset. Once it manages to load all pics (about 30 total), it seems more responsive on subsequent loads.
similar experience here with photos
Sorry i don't have anything to offer other than to say that i am seeing similar problems with htc album. Not 5-10 minutes but opening the album takes literally 2 or 3 minutes for the phone to become responsive again.
I experience slow downs just accessing the card or playing music from the card though. In any case, I ordered a new class 6 memory card today to see if it would help (current card is 4gb class 2).

My card is also a class 2, only it's 8gb. I wonder if that's the problem. I never had any problems at all on my Fuze with the same card though, so who knows.
I am going to the store tomorrow to see if they have any Tilt 2s available to check if mine is the problem. I will repport my findings to you. I hope you aren't as frustrated with this as I am lol.
Good luck!
PS: I've also noticed with mine that the longer it's been since a reset the faster and more responsive pics, music etc. are. Right after a soft reset it really does take longer than 5 minutes to load album, but if it's been a while since resetting it's more like 1 minute. Very weird.
Well, I finally got my replacement Tilt2. I am very sad to say I am still having the same problem, which leads me to believe it is not the device's fault.
Is it possible to have a faulty SD card? If so, is there anything I can do about it?
I have an 8gb class 2 Sandisk. I only have about 30-40 pictures on it (besides alot of other files), and album takes forever to open (they are stored to storage card/DCIM/pictures). When in TF3D I click on album and it takes approximately 3 minutes for the album to appear. After that it takes an additional 5+ minutes for the actual photo thumbnails to load. If I click to open a photo, it hangs, and eventually goes to a black screen.
Every now and then a pic actually opens, but then hangs if I attempt to do anything (like zoom etc).
Any ideas or suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks!
PS: This problem was present prior to installing any additional software.
Hey guys, it's probably the class of your cards. I have a class 6 8GB card. The load time when launching the Album app is a couple secs at most for me.
Hi:
Well, it turns out it was my SD card. But fortunately, a new one wasn't needed. I erased everything on it, then formatted it, and restored all items again.
Well, VOILA, it's perfect now.
I am so happy
Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread!!
It's my understanding that the higher class rating only benefits the writing of the files, not the reading.
Ditto
I'm having the same problem. Wondering what format you chose, etc.
I am not convinced it is the speed of the SD -- I have the fastest 4GB available at the time. I'll try the format and if that doesn't work, try without the card altogether.
Reformat resolves slow graphic & video file reads.
I also had a Fuze, and before that a Samsung Epix, and I have a 16 GB Card since I have a lot of music I play over Bluetooth in the car. The Music was a pain, since MS Voice Control crashed if I left "Media" checked (It would crash while trying to index all that Music) I WANTED to get a 32 Gb Micro, but they were scarce 10 months ago, and expensive when you could find them.
Anyway, other than the music thing, the card worked flawlessly in the Epix, and same in the Fuze. Only when we got to Tilt 2 did it fall down.
I really wish the folks above had noted if they formated the card at FAT16 or FAT32. I am sure there are only a couple of legitimate FAT levels that the phone can handle. I will look around some more and update with what I end up formating to.
UPDATE: Reformat Resolves this issue The issue being discussed here is NOT related to the performance of the card (or Class Rating) - For some reason, The HTC Tilt 2 and I would assume Touch Pro 2 has some issue reading graphic formats of cards previously formated in other devices. My card I is a 16 Gb. Class 2 card, after formating to FAT32 ONLY now performs fine, and it was so bad that the phone got hung trying to thumbnail pictures, and would do little else until I either waited 5+ minutes, or reset the phone. Cant figure why this is. I know it is not the conversion of Graphics to WVGA, since I did not use Active Sync to move the pics back to SD card after format, but just copied them back onto the card again. Weird! Glad I found this topic, I was about to get on the phone with AT&T. On an issue like this, I get a headache THINKING about explaining it to AT&T Tech Support.
NOTE: I forgot to mention that Video was patetic loading from card as well (hung the phone) and it loads just fine now as well. Just coppy you files off the card (Attach as a "Disc" not Active Sync - much faster) or use a card reader/adapter. Once files are off, format with Windows PC to FAT32, and copy back files - good time to clean house as well, LOL.

My Camera locks up after taking 3 pictures. Just freezes on the finished photo and I have to tap home multiple times to get out of the camera then I start the camera up again and it just displays a black screen. So then I have to exit out of it again and open it to get it to take 3 more pictures. Storage is set to the SD card.
Sorry to hear the man. I have been using the camera quite a bit and havent had 1 issue with the camera or behavior as you explained.
Try a different SD card or even format the card as a test and try again. If not next clear/wipe the phone for poss software issue. If not it maybe hardware, remember you have your manufacture warranty from the store if you need it p
yea, that's a bummer. No issues here either.
You can try the formatting of the SD card, or you can simply change the setting to make it so that images are stored on internal storage to see if that makes a difference. If it's already set to store on internal storage, then change it to the storage card. One or the other may be bad.
Doesn't really makes sense that it only happens after snapping a few shots though.
Good luck.
I have had this happen too. I cant use the home button to get out though, I have to lock the phone for about 30 seconds, and when I unlock, it sometimes is ready to take a picture. I have switched my camera down to 5mp to see if it helps, and it did a little, but it still happens. I also had my camera set to internal storage.
Changed to internal storage again and its working so far. Saw another post on the Verizon boards saying the fixed the issue by switching form internal to SD card storage.
This is still happening even after its been switched to internal storage.
I have the same problem, but intermittently

Anyone report this to HTC directly? On my winmo phones, they were MORE than helpful; basically the definition of excellent customer service.
Forums only go so far, ya know?
I have had the same problem off and on, once I use task killer It runs ok again. It can be quite frustrating when you only have a limited amount of time to take a pic. Kids, pets, etc dont exactly stay in the same place for very long LOL. I assumed it was caused by some stupid app I downloaded
FIXED
Fixed ( I think) got a response to the same post on the Verizon forum from an employee.
Factory reset (i know big pain). I guess the camera app/driver was corrupted and factory reset reloads a fresh build of the camera.
Tried it and i snapped about 15 shots rapid fire no problems.
I said that 2nd post from the top lmao

Well it didn't work. The camera app locks up randomly now when taking pictures.
It gets worse when i adjust the settings on the camera.
Same problem here. Factory reset did not help.
I'm having a sporadic but frequent problem with my Epic, wherein media files (on the SD card) suddenly become unplayable. Specifically, podcasts in Dogg Catcher, and audio books in MortPlayer, Ambling Book Player, and Audible will suddenly stop working and the app will report some sort of error such as "media file not playable" or some such.
This happens approximately once per day at unpredictable times, and my original response was to reboot the phone, which did fix the problem temporarily. Now I've discovered that unmounting the SD card, then remounting it and allowing the Android media scanner to complete will also temporarily fix the problem. In either case, however, the problem returns within a day or two, maximum.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem, or have any advice on how I might go about fixing them?
(FYI, my phone is rooted and I am running Syndicate Frozen 1.1 ROM, but this problem was happening before the root procedure back when I was running stock, and persists even after moving to Syndicate.)
Thanks!
Just taking a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like the problem might be with your sd card... a possible solution might be to copy all of your data off of the card, reformat it, and then copy you data back on to the card, OR try/get a different sdcard altogether.
Again, not claiming I know what the root problem is, but the reformat is worth a try as it has seemed to help with other sd card reading issues for others.

Thanks, I'll backup my SD card and reformat it to see if that helps. I should know within a day or two anyway.
I'm having a similar issue where all my media files disappear and it says "no SD card detected". If i pop the card out and back in it works, but it's annoying.
FWIW this is a replacement SanDisk card (class 4), my first one was lost in a drunken phone drop at the bar.
I have this exact same issue... Never had issues when stock, but since rooting and flashing ACS101 through ACS110... Although it sounds like it's not related to this since you've had issues longer.
I've tried clearing dalvik cache, normal cache, and messing around with the DRM service, but it's still unstable and audio/video files quit working after random amounts of time.
Let me know if the SDCard fix works for you.
My wife's phone has the same problem. Completely stock, with the official FroYo update. No root or anything so far. Her phone also has an issue where it pauses for up to 30 seconds before actually dialing when a call is attempted, then often fails to actually complete the call. I think she might just have a lemon...
I've discovered my international HTC One X 32GB becomes very very slow when i fill up the phones internal storage. You need to keep around 5 to 7GB free for the phone to stay useable. I'm on stock rom and asked someone i knew with a one x to try the same and he had the same problem. I'm on android 4.03 software version 1.29.401.11
Do other ppl have the same issue where the phone becomes slower and slower as more storage gets used?
I noticed the same thing but it only happens when I go under 1 Gb of free SD storage. Only occurred on 1.29 and 2.05 Sense based Roms, I was too lazy to try it with CM9

or access the SD using file manager but nothing more really its not as bad as you describe it and perfectly understandable, i only have 700MB left
I have this exact same problem with my hox. I'm running maximus 2.1 stock kernel. If I go below 4-5gb it crawls. Takes about ten minutes to boot up... The phone basically becomes unusable.
i reported this a couple of months ago, ive found the sweet spot is 1g + anything below 1gb and it will slow to unusable and your battery will be slaughtered very quickly as the phone heats up. im not sure why it does it my desire hd i was able to leave less than 1mb and the machine would still run perfectly.
my g1, motorola milestone, desire hd, samsung galaxy tab, my wifes wildfire and wild fire s all run perfectly with filled to the brim sd cards. why the hox wont is beyond me.

It's doing a media scan. The same thing will happen when you connect it via USB and then disconnect it. If you have seven 4GB MKV files that'll take a fraction of the time compared to thousands of 5,000KB MP3 files. I have a 32GB G-Tab 10.1 and it bogs the same way people are describing when I load it with content for a trip. It also pops up "memory low, remove unnecessary files" warnings starting about 5GB before the storage is actually full. This isn’t any different than people getting bogged down when they have thousands of SMS stored on their phones. And that even happens on Nexus phones. All is not perfect in the land of Android.

na the machine never stabilizes, i done it once to see if it was just an indexing problem - 48hrs later the phone was still non responsive and was red hot.
there is defo something wrong with the devices software that cause it too effectly loop when the sd memory fills. also i could replicate the problem on other devices but they always start running normally after a while

What type of content do you have loaded on your phone? I'll fill mine up later because I'm curious now. I've got about 20GB on it split between small files and some large ones and other than the media scan lag at boot I haven't noticed any slow downs. HTC is doing some funky stuff to get away from MTP so maybe that's the issue.

I thought of something else. The XL has only 10GB of user available storage so I'm sure a lot of users have it close to max'd out. They haven't reported any issues. So it's more likely the amount of files being handled than it is bumping up against the physical storage limit.
that was just a few movies, i like to fill it up when we go away at weekends so was uploading a load of movies and tv programs to catch up when sitting around in the evening.
the only other media i have on the device is audible.com books which wont get indexed as they are not files native to android.
ive given up loading movies on the device now and dusted of the galaxy tab to load up which works much better but poorer screen.
i certainly wont ever entertain phones with integral non removable storage / battery ever again no matter how good the phone is. When the phone freezes up there is no way out of it, it can can take over 15mins to connect to the computer just to remove some of the data, loads of missed calls, - just completely unusable. if the card was removable it would have been a few seconds to remove the data and i would have had my phone back.
I had the same issue when i filled up my device with movies, 10 mkv files at 1,7gb each
Same for me. If I go below 3gb the phone is very slow.

i get exactly the same issue, anyone got a fix for this yet? i just synced my music and is became unusable. usually by deleting the music it works again, this time its still slow despite having loads of free space now. another reinstall coming up. this is becoming very tedious
Found that problem too, and as i deleted som music and stuff i forgot on the sd-card it was running smooth again...
Really wierd tho.
Really.....
We need a thread to explain common sense.
Fill a hard drive up and search for a file take longer to find it.
Go eat a huge dinner and you will slow down. There really is some stupid ass threads in the one x section.

I didn't realise that the storage in the phone was a mechanical drive that was affected by fragmentation.
Learn something every day.
It's due to the sd storage uses FAT32 this format is old now and it always had an issue of any hard drive that once reaches a certain limit it would slow down as it has to search longer to find what it needs incidentally it's not how full the storage more the amount of files on it. Example. If you put 7 MLV movies on it and fill the drive it wouldn't slow down but if you put 3000 songs on it then it would go slow. I tested this theory out myself on several storage devices and results were always the same. A lot of newer sd cards which use HCSD storage loaded quicker than this phone. I don't know why they don't just use NTFS instead you wouldn't have this issue then but linux struggles with that format

They should go with EXT4 for all android phones. I've been using EXT4 on my transformer and it is both faster and less limited than FAT32. Microsoft should just add some support for other filesystems. Not to mention that the phone's internal filesystems are already EXT
Jesus. And I thought the hox had enough problems already.
Surely there's a process running that explains the heat and lack of responsiveness? Doesn't anyone have logs of the Cpu activity at the time of the slowdowns? A simple script to kill the process would work as a temporary workaround until HTC release a fix.

It's not really a process its when you first boot the device it checks the sd storage for any errors, this is part of the android os but if sd full of files it can take upto 72hrs for this scan to complete and this uses all the CPU N memory hence phone is unresponsive. Disabling the check might cause corruption I think a work around might be to partition the sd storage and use ext format to put all your files and leave enough storage for the operating system and apps

A few days ago while trying to review some images taken with the phone (with Sandisk 64Gb card inside) and stored on the external SD card, I could not pull up the images. On the Gallery screen where you see all the recent images, the image was present, but when I tap on the image, I get a black screen with the words "media not found". When I went back to the Gallery screen which showed the screen full of images, now the requested image has been replaced by a black and white clapboard (like they use in the movie industry before the camera starts to roll). This all happens when using "Gallery". If I use "Photos" (I think that's AT&T installed), sometimes the image will be there and other times over the past few days it won't. Sometimes when I get the Media not found message, I can still pull it up with "Photos".
I thought it was a OS issue with the camera, so I restored the phone using the built-in restore function (my Root is still there), but that did not seem to help.
I changed the setting for the camera so that it would store images to the internal memory instead of external, and that did seem to work for the few hours I had it set to that, although that was not a very long time to test whether the issue is SD card related. Today I switched it back over to storing on the external SD card, and at one point a video I took this morning worked, and then later when I wanted to view it again, I got a message that it was an "unsupported file type", and I could not pull up the video.
I unmounted the card, and have it sitting connected to my Windows 7 machine, and I'm doing an error check-autofix-scan and recover right now, although it is taking forever, and I do not see any progress whatsoever on the progress bar and it's been about 15 minutes so far. As an asides, I have about 30Gb of music also stored on this card and the phone can see it and play it with no issues.
Any thoughts? SD related, phone related, OS related? I don't remember doing anything or installing anything just prior to the issue starting....
Oh, and yes, I meant to type "unsupported" in the title

I ran the checkdisk and it did not seem to run at all. After a while it just shut off by itself. I'm currently running Norton Antivirus on the card just to see. And, I popped in a 32Gb card I had laying around, just to see, as a trouble-shooting method. strange thing though...when I open up Gallery, I can see all of the old photos taken long ago that were stored on the now-removed 64Gb card. If I click on them, they open up, although I don't know why as they were stored on a card that is no longer in the phone. I took some pics with the new card installed, and then when I went to review those images, they are there (but the "old" images from the larger card are now gone). I wonder if the phone stores old images that reside on external memory in a secondary folder internally on the phone, as they were there to view even though the card was removed...
Hello all I will make this short.
I am so frustrated with the LG G4 camera but today something really pushed me over the top.
The problem I have is a lot of times you will go to take the picture, it will make the flash, screen stabilize etc, and it wont save the picture. It makes it seem like it is, but it doesn't. It seems like you have the hold the damn camera still a few seconds after the picture is "taken" to make sure it pops up in the little corner in that bubble.
it is getting REALLY annoying to do this, I was on my way to work today, stopped and pulled over to take a picture of a house that is for sale. Anyway I get to work and go to find the picture of the house , and it WAS NOT there. This happens CONSTANTLY and its really starting to piss me off. Is there a third party camera app that works better than this trash LG put out. The actual camera, hardware wise, is quite good it takes great pictures. But the software is one of the worst ive ever used. And I know its not just my phone because I had to do a warranty exchange recently, and I had the problem on the previous phone
Very weird. My camera takes pictures instantly and within a fraction of a second, the pic can be seen in the "bubble". I never had to hold the camera for any amount of time to make sure it was recorded.
Were the light conditions particularly difficult when you took a picture of the house (I.E. very dark)?
Do you have a case that could be partly blocking the lens or the focusing laser?

Do you have an SD card installed? Are your photos stored there? I had this problem a while ago with a crappy sd-card.
Try using the internal memory and see if that works.
Is HDR set to auto or not? I find with it on or on auto it takes a bit longer

As long as you don't need long exposure time, try proshot.
I can't say I've had this problem with the camera software.
Sounds like you've either got HDR on, or have a slow SD card in the phone...
Nope HDR is off. I will however, set it to save on the phones internal memory. it doesn't happen EVERY time either, just often enough where I lose an important picture, even though the flash obviously goes off and it indicates it took the picture
I got this problem too. I have it save to SDCARD and I don't know if my sdcard is crappy though. Class 10 UHS-1 is enough isn't it|?

Aside from the class, also consider the manufacturer. I had veeeerry slow viewing/saving pics when I was using a Kingston SD card. Bought a Sandisk class 10 and all my problems went away
I never had an issue with pictures not saving. I only use internal storage though. Let us know if you're still missing pics after saving them as internal storage.

This has happened to me twice.
I believe it's related to having an sd card installed and the camera app not saving it's settings. There's a bug in the camera app where it periodically resets it's settings. Default storage location is SD card (if installed).
I normally store photos to internal memory. The first time this happened to me I noticed the storage location had changed to sd card. I figured it did it's reset the settings thing mid-save or something.
I know when mine resets cause I normally turn off location tagging. When it resets, it prompts you to turn it on so I use that as my queue to set the storage location back to internal.
Not sure if this is the problem or not. Just a theory.

Which SD card do you have ? manufacturer, class and size.
Stock or not.
Happens on mine in testing conditions such as low light when focusing and only during testing conditions. Just hold the camera for a second or two (which isn't a long time to wait to be fair), and that's all it takes really.
I always save to SD card and only ever have the problems in certain conditions such as taking a pic of a sign in a car park under low light.

To solve the problem, deativate the shortcut to open the camera with the volume down button. Settings will remain saved.
