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

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.
Hey guys,
I exchanged the original 8 GB card that came with my HD7 for a 32 GB card yesterday. Since I had to do a hardreset, I now have to re-synchronize all my media back on my phone. Now here's the issue I'm having:
Zune won't synchronise some of the videos I previously had on my device. It keeps telling me that it couldn't convert them (error code C00D1192). Now I ask myself why it cannot convert them anymore even though it worked before without any problems. I seriously doubt it's an sd card issue.
Does anybody have an idea?
Why do you doubt it's an SD card issue, when the only thing that's changed since you last synced your videos is that you've changed SD cards?
Try swapping back to the 8GB card and see if the video sync works again.

I doubt that because synchronising all the music files and pictures worked fine. And the issue doesn't appear with all the videos I'm trying to sync. Just with a few. So if it's sd card related, I assume it would at least happen to some other media files as well.
Before I swap the cards again, which means I will have to completely start over setting up the phone, downloading all apps and sync again, I'd decided to come here for help.
no matter what app (poweramp,playerpro,miui player,sense player) and no matter what rom I use the music skips
I am asking can it be anithing other then sd card. all my songs are on the sd card and for all my roms I am useing APP2SD script
I have 2gb class2 sd card and if the problem is the sd card what class should I buy
it most definitely is your SD-card... class 2 is waaayyy too slow.. try Class 4 or above, the only time my music skips if I use a data2ext ROM but really only experienced this on MIUI.. SD-Cards aren't that expensive anymore either
A simple test would be to move a song from your sd-card to your internal memory. If it still skips you might want to think about a full wipe.
I purchased SanDisk Micro SDXC 64GB Class 10(UHS-1) card few months ago. I used it on my T-Mobile SGH-T999, and recently noticed video playback would freeze on my phone. I've done few tests to find out what the cause was, with different memory cards with different format, and was able to narrow it down to SanDisk card.
I ran the SD card test, and there was no bad sector and card was performing great on Windows, and when tested on my phone using tester application, it also worked great. But only when I'm playing a video on my phone(from the SDXC memory card), video playback freezes(not the phone, only the video) after couple minutes. And when I exit out of the video and try to do something else on the card(transfer files, access different files) it won't respond and says "this file cannot be accessed(or something similar)".
Only after reboot of the phone, or when I unmount and mount the card again, it starts working again. However, if I try to watch video from card again, it will freeze.
I tried using the card in 3 different formats (FAT32, NTFS, exFAT) and all of them returned same results. I tried formatting on the phone, and on Windows using different application, but all the results were same.
I tried using the stock video player, as well as MX player. And like-wise, the results were same.
I also tried using Samsung's Class 10 32GB card, and it worked fine.
What could be the problem? The SD card seems to work perfectly for transferring files either on phone, or on computer. Only the video playback on S3 is causing problem.
I use rooted stock Jelly Bean Rom by the way, and the video I tested were 1080p and 720p H.264 files. And the video plays perfectly fine on the phone memory.

Theres a couple roms with SD Card read/write speed tweaks(Darthstalker is the most recent). Maybe that will help you. With a little more research I'm sure you can find the script to use on a plain rooted stocked.
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. I shall try them after backing up all my stuff.
So about 2 days ago I got a new 64GB SDXC and ever since then my music has been skipping horribly to the point where it skips to a random song in my queue and sometimes even plating the wrong song
my music is FLAC and MP3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Which micro sd card do you have? You shouldn't have any problems running FLAC music with a UHS-1/Class 10 card or at least a Class 6 card minimum. Worst case scenario is that your card is a fake because they tend to degrade in performance or perform slow to begin with (let's hope that isn't the case).
Perhaps it could also be your music player app, try installing it again? I recommend switching between PowerAmp, Winamp and Player Pro to see if there is any change. Last solution would be to format your micro sd card and transfer all the music back on to it again (if possible, transfer 5-10 songs at a time) and hopefully that will resolve your problem.
this is my MicroSD http://goo.gl/zgRQ6 amazon says it's a class 10 i have tred formatting it many times i have tried player pro, apollo, sony walkman, Zplayer, and ubermusic all with no luck
also if it matters i am running CM10
Try testing the speed of your sd card, you can install SD Card Tester and see if you're getting close to the advertised read/write speed. Also check if the results you get are consistent, perhaps trying the test 5-10 times should help you determine if it is.
Also, what happens if you put several songs on your internal memory and you play them, does it also skip? If not, it is most likely your micro sd. From what I've read in the reviews on the link you've sent me, there are some people who've said their card had become defective over time.
Edit: If you also have another micro sd card available, see if listening to music from it gives you the same issue. In that case, reflashing your rom may help.
2nd Edit: What file system did you format the micro sd in? Make sure you have formatted it in FAT32, apparently some roms have trouble reading exFAT and NTFS.
Thanks for your help but my problem has been fixed my card apparently my card reader is brokem i had been taking the MicroSD card out and putting it in a card reader to speed up transfer but once i transferred music straight from the phone everything worked perfectly also people have reported that that card reader sometimes copies files with broken parts which is exactly what was happening with me
That's a first, would have never thought of that! Good job on finding out the issue and fixing it. :good: Time to get the card reader replaced just in case you would need to use one again, ahaha. Cheers!
Have you tried a different music player?
