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 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
Question
I want my extra sd card to only have my media...no and secure or data or any other app crap placed on it
I try and keep everything on the internal 16 GB storage. This way my 64 GB sd card only has my games and movies.
What I have noticed is I can delete them off my sd card...remove it...and restore the app data with titanium back up and I am all good. But after a few days they sneak onto my SD card and take up about 1 GB of space. In effect the files are duplicated on my internal memory and my sd card.
This is inefficient...does anyone know how to prevent this ?

If I understand you correctly and I believe I do, you want to maintain all of your External SD cards space for your media, and if its a 64gig card you want ALL 64gigs free for the media of your choice.
The simple fact that your phone formats that card so it can use it sould tell you that your phone placed data on your SD so not all 64gigs are free. Formatting in general takes some space away from the media for the format to reside. So on a 64gig card, you may end up with like, 62.3gigs or a bit less after format.
I use a 32gig but only 29.8gigs are useable due to format. just saying...hope I'm correct and that I helped you.

Not what I meat.
What bothers me is my phone sees two sd cards ...one is the 16 GB internal memory and the other is the ext sd card.
When downloading an app that installs to sd by default the phone will randomly throw it on my ext sd card if It is plugged in...but if I take the card out it will put it on the 16 GB memory
What bothers me most is all the extra folders and the fact that somethings are in one place and not the other or both.
There needs t be a way for the phone to leave my sd card alone
It gets confusing because the so called 16 GB internal memory on the phone is treated like a sd card by the system and is not part of the system rom....the system rom where most apps is installed is seperate

SanDisk and KingMax have new 64GB MicroSD cards out that the Galaxy and others work on. The problem for me is the price......like ~$150.
To the OP .....Maybe it is the card as I have a couple of Samsung 32gb class 10 and don't have that problem. Whatever I put on my ext. SD card stays there.

I have no problem with what I put staying on my card..it is the app folders and android secure data that my phone seems to duplicate onto my sd card as well as the included internal card.
Check you app directory you will see an android secure folder on your internal and ext sd card...chances are you have duplicate data in each...

There is nothing limiting phones to 32 GBs ...that is just sales material.
I put this sd card in an og droid and n1 and it worked.
Fat 32 can read large drives on a pc so nothing stops iron android either. I have a 2 TB hardrive formatted as fat 32 at home.
Fyi SDXC will allow for up to 2 TBs on your cell phone within 5 years. Prototypes of the micro sdxc @ 2 tb have already been developed.
Hence why the whole nexus internal memory only is bs

Did you ever figure out a way to keep data on the phone only? I have a BIG problem with Evernote (free). I love the program as it holds small bits of data that I cannot remember (e.g. license plate numbers, birthdays, drivers license numbers, etc) but are too personal to not worry about. I only use 1/2 MB (yes, that is right, 1/2 MB) so paying for the premium version is much too expensive for what I store.
What I recently found however, has me ready to stop using it. The program stores all the 'cards' on the SD card of my Samsung S3 phone. And if you pull out the card, pop it into a computer and go to the Evernote folder, they store the data IN PLAIN ENGLISH! So even if I lock my phone anyone who can get the card out can read all this information. I even told the program not to store the data for offline access and cleared the cache/history but it still remains on the SD card if the program is running. I need a way to prevent the program from storing the data on the SD card. I thought I had it fixed - completely remove the program, delete all stored data and folders, pull out the SD Card, reinstall and download my 1/2 MB of data from the cloud (forcing it to phone storage), then rebooting with the SD back in. IT PUT THE DATA BACK ON THE SD CARD! This is a BIG security risk and now I am looking for a way to prevent it.
So, back to your original thread, any luck?

I am having this issue too, I think it had something to do with going from Blazer ROM (GB) to Paranoid Android (JB), and the difference in the way they handle partitioning the ext SD card
sent from my ET4G on Paranoid Android using XDA Developers App in hybrid mode
my memory card stop working when i use spotify, spotify just close and i cant go in again(because memory card stop working) and when i try to save in it it says "set in a memory card". but when i turn it off and on again it works. and because the memory card stop working all the time i can only store 1Gb on my 32Gb card
i also have sort of the same issue. sometimes memory card stops working..i don't know why, but when i take photos it doesn't save them at all, i have to go to settings>storage unmount then mount again for it to start working. i have an A-DATA 16gb class10 micro sd.
Froyo introduced a bug that persists in Gingerbread. Class 4 cards work, class 6 cards are a hit'n'miss affair, most class 10 cards have problems.

will it work if i root my phone and change rom?
(have a class 10 card)
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?

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.
