I'm having trouble with my MicroSD card, Transcend 16 GB Class 6.
It only shows in 3 ways, all of them appear at different times:
1. My music would stop playing. DoubleTwist would show me "Memory Card Error". I fixed it by unmounting/remounting. Happens pretty often, once in 2 hours or so.
2. Market apps would not download. I fixed it by rebooting. Happens once a day.
3. The most serious one: my phone would freeze, and when I reboot, my wallpaper would be reset, all widgets break, Simple2EXT apps would be missing. After a reboot everything would be fine, but my wallpaper and widgets would need to be placed again.
I'm running CyanogenMod 7 RC2, S-ON. What do I do? Is my card a lost cause?
Should I return it? Is it fixable?

So I just installed the new Synergy ROM from Myn's Warm RLS4. I love it, but in addition, I was hoping that the new ROM would get rid of my slow home screen refresh. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it is super annoying. Even if I go into the app drawer while the home screen is loading, the apps in the app drawer are loading as well.
After i flashed Synergy, the phone was incredibly snappy, due to its fresh wipe. After I used Titanium Backup to reload my apps + data and Launcher Pro to restore my homescreen the slow refresh came back.
I've hypothesized that it could be due to the amount of widgets on my home screen. However, this does not explain why the app drawer is also slow to load. Which leads me to believe that my 16gb class 2 MicroSD is the culprit since I've moved a majority of my apps to my SD card.
Will bumping up to a class 6+ help with my issue?
TIA
I've had the exact same problem from time to time. Also slow sometimes changing to landscape. I've got a Class 10 SD Card so don't waste your money on a new card. I'm hoping that it'll be fixed with the next release. Otherwise, the ROM has worked perfectly for me.
Okay so every time media scanner is running, my phone becomes extremely laggy, as in 4-5 fps. Everything grinds to a halt, for example pressing on the menu button has a 1-2 second delay before the menu opens. I am using a 64GB SanDisk microSDXC card, and yes its genuine I tested it. I have also tried numerous different ways of formatting it (exfat and fat 32) with easeUS, fat32format and other programs. On top of this I have attempted to clear the media scanners data and then force a manual scan with Media Scanner as was suggested in other posts.
I know that media scanner is to blame because if I terminate its process the phone comes back to normal with 1-2 seconds. I should mention that this only happens when the SD card is inserted and has several files on it (currently 4622 songs). This behavior also happens on all kernels and roms I have tested (roms: stock unrooted, stock rooted, AOKP; kernels: stock, Lean kernel, Underwear, and KT747).
If anybody has any suggestions it would really be appreciated. I am open to anything and am willing to give more information if necessary such as processes using up CPU when this is happening or anything else.
Thank you.
Just put a .nomedia file on your sd card directory that has songs in it.

Wow this actually seems to be working. I haven't experienced any lag in a couple of hours. Do you know if this is a normal/common problem? i tried searching for it and couldn't find any mention of it.
My phone is now good two years old. It doesn't show its age externally which is why I'm not exactly jumping to replace it, but it does have some "internal" issues.
Recently it became quite jerky & unresponsive. This shows in apps just not snapping in, animations tear & crack all over the place and, well, it's just not smooth. Actually, this is so bad that it's even hard to answer the phone because it just doesn't detect the swipe, so sometimes it takes a second or even third try.
So I decided to go from CM based ROM to a stock based ROM. Made a flash, a factory reset and rebooted the thing. My next step is to restore my apps with titanium backup, so I install it from Play Store, install the Pro key and then restore all the apps (some 40 of them). I'm not sure if this plays much of a role because even if I don't use TiBu to restore, the same thing happens anyway.
At first, everything was smooth again. But in a matter of hours, the phone was jerky again. This came as a bit of surprise as normally it takes around a week (but it always becomes jerky). I swear I'm not doing anything taxing with the phone. I uninstalled all the apps that I thought might be causing this, but nothing had any effect. I'll now go back to the CM based ROM because it suits me better in some aspects, but I've just about had it with all this unresponsiveness.
Is there any way for me to detect what it is that's causing these hiccups? Is there a rational explanation for my woes?
Try to reboot in safe mode and see if it becomes jerky again after one or two days...or hours.
If it becomes then is a hardware problem.
If not try a full wipe install your fav apps but don't restore any data.
Do you have an SD card in your phone by any chance? This phone suffers from slow SD cards. I have a Kingston SD Class 4 card and the Gallery, Messenger, and some apps just start freezing and being unresponsive. Ordered a Class 10 UHS-I Samsung SD Card......lets hope it works better. The phone is super quick when not using an SD card on stock 6.0
Thanks for the suggestions. Since I don't have an SD card in, I'll attempt a safe mode probe to see if it helps.
Hey Guys, newbie here!
I've been using CM13 for a while now. Recently my Spotify app started freezing and crashing my phone when accessing my 64GB MicroSD card. I can not reproduce this however since it seems to happen randomly. But when Spotif or my SD card are uninstalled i do not get these freezes.
I did a clean install of the most recent CM13 Nightly and the Experimental CM14 release, which did not yield any results other than corrupting my data file system. After fixing this, I now run in the Experimental CM14 without Spotify.
If you have ans Idea I would really appreciate the help from you guys.
*Edit* This is about the LG G3 D855 which I am using with a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD card.

Wow, reading that post, it's almost as if I posted it myself.
I have similar issues as you. But I'm using stock. I thought it was something wrong with my new 128gb microsd. I even gotten a new battery just in case, as I see other people pointing to these random issue to battery issue.
Until I realized Spotify somewhat actively caches stuff on my microsd card, plus the earlier issue of using network data in the background even when not actively in use (killed my wife's data usage for that month).
Issues I've seen are phone not waking up from black screen (or taking a really really long time to wake up), issue playing the next song with my regular mp3 player with songs stored on microsd, spotify freezing, bluetooth freeze on connect, etc.
Just recently I've just tried to clear all data/cache on the spotify app (took a long time, I clicked the button and went to sleep). Then as soon as I'm back on spotify, I go to settings and tell it to cache on phone sd instead of external. So far my phone seem to be running better. Will have to wait a few more days to see how it goes. Hope this helps (for myself as well : ) )
Hi all!
I have always kept my music library on internal storage but I recently got a large sd card so I don't have to copy music back again every time I reset the phone. I am currently running stock Pie with June update, no root, bootloader locked.
Since I have put my music library on the sd card (30gb of music on a 64gb card) everytime I reboot or wake up the phone, I got a notification of "scanning sd card". And the music library in several players I have tried (pulsar, shuttle, musicolet) is empty and slowly repopulates.
When I first used the card I put it into the phone and formatted it as portable storage, then copied music in it.
I thought i was the only one with this problem. It happened after the PIE update. It was ok when i was on OREO. The same thing happened to my note 5 pro after the PIE update. It seems this is related to PIE rom, slowly remounting the sd card ofter boot. I changed a few cards before thinking it was the card problem. Hoping the devs would solve this problem with the next update.
Give PowerAmp a try, it's something, and works even after reboot

With the smaller sd card and music library on the phone storage I didn't have this problem, did you?

I used memory card since i bought the phone, it's a 64 gb card. Never had any problem when i was on oreo. The music from internal storage seems to have no problem. Tried a few cards and seems like the 32 gb card loads faster. The 64 gb and 128 gb loads slowly and these are high speed read/wirte cards. Also if i didn't use the player after a few days i have to rescan the library again for the music to load. The same goes to some stuff on gallery too. Contents from memory card went blank and only viewable after a while.
I've also same issue on two individual A2 lite with 32gb SD cards (1x samsung & 1x intenso).
I expect that the SD card is unmounted when the device goes into sleep mode. If phone wakes up again the card will be mounted again.

I can also confirm this behavior.
May its possible to get some details with MatLog (during wakeup & sleep). But I'm not able to do this, cause my phone is not rooted.
I have this problem only with the music on sd. Images in the gallery show up correctly.
I have searched for this issue, and it seems a lot of people experienced it also with older android versions and phones. Someone fixed it with an app called Wakelock, others just changed their sd card or lived with it.
Guess i'll just live with it until this phone fails me. This problem doesn't really annoy me much. It's still pretty much a great phone for its price.
For me it's very frustrating, gallery does not work correct if i use it direct after unlock and also camera app will crash if used direct out of lockscreen and phone was in deep-spleep before (target directory is set do SD card). Sometimes (1-2%) if i wake up the phone the card is not mounted properly. Phone reports card is damaged, after reboot everything is fine again.
