Hi, I have been trying out many ROMS over the past few months to see which one is best for me and most of them have been fine until I start to multitask or navigate through the phone quickly. Then, they all start locking up and the RAM drops to under 50mb free and does not go back up no matter what I do until a soft reset. When I remove my memory card (16GB Class 6 A-Data) the ROM(s) perform flawlessly and MUCH faster. Obviously there is a problem with the phone and the memory card with slowing down. I have been in various programs and have noticed settings about the memory card and power saving and I was wondering if somehow I could have the phone just cut all access to the SD card unless I need to use it, because if I take the SD card out while the phone is on, I get the same good results. So basically I want to know if I can tell the phone to NOT use the SD Card for ANYTHING to get the same results as taking the card out of the phone and putting it in when I need it. I hope that wasn't too much, thanks.
I also have had this trouble with my phone...I have a 16 gb sd card...I have tried using an 8gig to see if it is limited to just the 16 gig card...there was no difference...I came to the conclusion that touchflo is constantly seeking the sd card from media files....but I could be wrong....I have yet to figure out a solution because when i switch to the default wm home it does the same thing.

Hi,
I am using dopod 818pro. But whenever i use a 4gb(mainly kingstone SD memory card) memory card, it shows, "no memory card installed". But i can use 2gb memory card (any brand).
My config is as follows-
windows mobile 6.1 professional
processor- OMAP850-195MHz
memory- 50.02 mb
ROM version- 7.0.0.7 WWE
ROM DATE- 7/5/8
RADIO VERSION- 02.19.21
RAM size-64mb
So please help me to use 4 GB memory card.
SDHC
The HTC prophet doesn't support SDHC cards (over 2 Gig)!
i'm using non sdhc 4gb card from transcend. make sure your card is not sdhc...
oh yes, but you still need a driver
hey man, if you have a normal SD card with 4GB, it still will not just work ,you needed a driver of some sort, sorry, I had it, but changed my computer some months ago. Maybe someone else has it?
do you?? i just put the card in & my prophet recongnised it.
SD
I used to have MMC and I thought the disable power management would resolve my problem of getting my files disappearing from the card if the path 2 or more folders deep, but when I changed the card to a normal SD (2GB), I had the same problems happening sometimes (but not as frequently as before), but I'm getting another (harder) problem now. I'm saying harder because this seems to be very hard to track because it happens when it wants!!
sometimes the card works for several days without any issue, but sometimes I get a blank card. even though when I look at the status I see the used space and the free space, but when I open it with resco or file explorer it's just blank.
and I even got a worse problem (fortunately it happened only one time yet). since I set the ie and opera cash to the card, these programs created their temp folder on the card again, but everything else was totally erased! I used a recovery software to get my data back!!
as I said, it happened once, but the usual problem is I just see nothing on the card until I shut down, and boot my prophet again. and sometimes it doesn't work until I do this several times.
I think I've looked everywhere to find a solution for my problem, but I didn't find any real solution for it. I've tried several roms, several cards, always getting the same problem. I don't think it's a hardware issue because of its nature. I mean how could it be a hardware issue if the data disappears without even touching my phone? if there is a hardware issue I don't think the card would be recognized at all! or (at least) it won't be recognized after I move it (causing the weak or loose contacts - if any - to disconnect) however, I don't think it's true, because the contacts are clean and tight, and like all HTC devices, the SD slot is high quality.
if anyone can offer a real solution to my problem, then I'll say he/she is the one who enabled me get the full of my HTC Prophet!
So thank you in advance. whoever you are!
Hi,
Everytime my phone runs out of battery power or I reboot the handset, the phone refuses to load all the applications for the memory card. The memory card can be seen - within the settings, however the applications dont appear as normal within the menu or on the homescreen, the names of the apps are present but their each application logo of applications installed on the memory card is the same.
This is random also. Sometimes the apps show as normal, all icons load as normal. But mostly it fails. If it does load as normal, it sometimes takes upto 5 minutes for the card to 'kick in'.
Any suggestions please?
It could be to do with your sd card. What brand & size card do you have, where did you but it from and how did you first format it?
All the above may not be relevant, but some cheaper, non branded cards can cause issues!
Something you could try... I was having a similar issue, except mine would boot up with the message sd card corrupted.
Only a format would get it working again in the phone, but strangely my PC could view it, although the pc would occasionally loose sight if it!?
The only solution I found is to unmount the sd card before shutting down - Menu, settings,
Sd & phone storage, unmount sd card.
This seems to resolve my issue, perhaps it will help you too? (although it won't be possible when the battery dies I guess.
I hope that helps! Let me know how you get on!

I have the problem but I have +75 apps on the SD card, pretty chunky ones too and my SD card read/write speed on class 2/4/6 cards is down to 1-5MB/s best case when using such a forced SD card installation for most apps so I sort of expected it. In my case, it seems to be Titanium Backup causing a hold up for the rest since it is always the last to load before the rest can commence, and if it doesn't load, most of the rest don't either. For whatever reason, it can take minutes to load so it delays everything else (7 minutes is the max I've counted).
If I hit a reload SD card widget on my homescreen that is part of SwitchPro widget, everything reloads as expected so I generally use this.

I'll give that widget a shot, thanks.
I have a Desire running Froyo and have just bought a Kingston Class 4 32gb card.
Put all my music on it, about 20 gigs.
Playback however is jerky and full of dropouts, either with HTC player or btunes.
a) Is it the Class 4-ness? If so what class do I need to upgrade to?
b) Can I solve it by formatting the card in the phone? I just used it straight out of the box.
c) Can I help by partitioning of any kind? The card is unpartitioned.
Has anyone had a similar experience which they've fixed?
check if you have anything else running from your sd card
backgrounded games/apps
or take the card out then stick it in ur computer and in windows use the defragmenter
Thanks, there were all sorts of apps sneakily running, maps, radio, that kind of thing.
Killing them fixed the jerkiness.
Problem is, why can't you exit apps properly? It's very hard to know what's going on without laboriously looking it up in Settings every time
I have a Samsung 64 gb evo uhs micro sd card. What exactly are the benefits beside storing music, photos and etc?
I tried moving a game(hearthstone) which requires a lot of power to the sd card. What would be the difference if you were to run it off from the sd card than from internal memory?
I have so much space on my sd card(60gb), I only have 1 game, don't have music nor movies and barely any apps. Are there anything else I can implement to the sd card?
Hi,
http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-2333937/moving-installed-apps-card-galaxy-tab.html
This is a similar link to how to do it. The SD card wont use a lot of power and there is only part of Applications you can store one the SD card. You will notice when you move things a certain amount of space remains on the internal SD.
The internal storage is faster than the SD cards (in general), and is always powered where the SD card can be put to low power when the device is sleeping. You may notice no difference or possible the game run a tad slower on the SD card but I would imagine not a noticeable difference. I have a lot of space (exactly the same SD card) so I have started filling it up with movies and music. You could get a lot of stuff on there for when you need to watch something but do not have WiFi.
I have the T805 ~(so LTE) and actually find because of having my data and Netflix I do not use nearly enough of my SD card. To make things worse Kitkat ruined SD cards so you can't use them properly within apps such as utorrent.

Hey thanks for posting, this information is great! That sucks how KitKat doesn't really utilize the sd card well then. I guess we'd have to wait for the official release of Lollipop hah. So we can actually run games off of the sd card? Obviously this will be run on a lesser performance but will it save battery since it doesn't use as much power from running on the sd card? I'd rather have less performance on a game than running out of battery faster and heating the device(which happens when I play from internal memory).
The only Heat you will get when playing games will be the CPU and possibly the display. The internal memory shouldn't get particularly hot.
There is no clear consensus if the SD card or internal save battery but if your device runs faster by having the Apps running off the SD card rather than clogging the internal memory that would be a bonus. Try it and see I would say.
On previous phones, many apps could be moved to the SD card. On this phone, Moto Z2 Play (XT1710-02), none of the apps show the ability to choose the storage location, even apps that allowed this on my previous phone. Did Motorola decide to disable this feature?

Just format the SD card as internal storage and let the phone do its thing.

Oh how I wish this were true. I have tried 2 different sdhc 32gb class 1 cards one sandisk one pyl prime performance. And the phone is saying that both are too slow for internal and that some apps may lag. Figured I see how bad the lag was because I needed the space..... Things seemed to go alright. I mean I'm not aware of any cards faster than the ones I have? Then my phone started going whacky. It reeboot and then got in a perpetual rebooting loop. I could hold power and volume down button to go to Bios and tried to book into recovery mode from there. Nope.
At this point I'm getting pissed and started freaking out....deep breathing. Ok should I factory reset? I figure I really don't have a choice. Then I figured I would try to remove the ad cards. And it worked! Only problem is that I lost some pics and some files and now it says my card is corrupted. So. Much for SD card internal storage.
Anyone got any better advice than " just put it in and let the phone work it's magic?" I don't think anyone would ever come on these forms if that little tid bit of wisdom worked. Right? ?????
I've had card configured that way for a year or two. No problems. You just need good cards. I have plenty of broken cheap sd cards lying around that would likely fail quickly under such load. I also have the phone configured to back up automatically so if it gets lost, I lose nothing. Grab another phone and restore from the cloud.
