[Q] Phone gets unresponsive

Hey guys,
Sometimes my phone does not wake up again from "sleep".
It just does nothing. I've got to pull the battery.
I don't know when it happens -> when it gets hot or not.
Solution ?
It is a rooted phone with leedroid.
S-ON
Tnx

LeeDroid seems to be the problem. Over the past few days I have seen a few posts like this one.

Ok, I just flashed another rom. Lets see what that gives.

I had the same problem with stock froyo, starburst and insertcoin, so I suspect the sd card as the culprit!

hey,
My SD card is the stock what came with it.
It is a scandisk 4gb class 4 card.
Just installed : [ROM][19/04][Sense2.1 GingerBread]InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v03 |Cam working
Still same problem
Other suggestions ? S-off maby ?
Can I access a log or something ?

Do you by any chance use smartass on setcpu or underclock to 128 mhz

No, no setcpu or anything else. Tried it one on my desire but then my phone froze even more.
Today it gets wors. It also freezes when i'm typing sms or scrolling trough pictures on my phone.
SD card issue ?

I have the same problem, both with the one that came with the phone (sandisk 4gb class2) and the new one (sandisk 16gb class6).
I ordered a Kingston 16gb class6, hope it is alright.

Are you sure it is the sd card that is causing the problem ?
I'm now running without sd card

Did you have any problem running without sd card?

I'm gonna check trough the day. About 5pm (gmt+1) I will tell you if its froze or not

The phone did not resets/crashed/freeze or anything.
I guess the problem is the SD-card.
I'm gonna go to the store and buy a 8gb class 4 card from Kingston.
Sandisk is crap apparently.

Before spending your money, do you have a button widget installed? You know, for turning on/off wifi-data-gps e.t.c.
Try uninstalling and see if there is any problem.

yes,
The powercontrol from htc
the 2G/3G button also from htc.
Since I removed the SD-card no freezes.
Those buttons are also here when my sd-card was out so ...
But tnx for the comment

Good news. I ordered a Kingston 16gb class4, hope it is o.k. too!

Ok, let me know !

Just arrived and I am disappointed by the speed. It is terribly slow, its write speed is less than 1,6mb/s!!!
Have you tested the card? What are your results when writing files?

[Q] Class 10 MicroSD Issues

Hello, I bought some day ago a Team 16GB class 10 Micro SD card, but my Defy freeze, expecially when I browse it with quickpic.
I see some thread about class 10 cards and someone found that a partial fix is format with 32k or 64k as file allocation unit size, and maybe another fix is set higher voltage with setsvel.
I've tried the format fix, but I gain only speed, now I'll try the second to gain the needed stability.
I read also that it's an Android kernel related issue, so we still need an official fix.
Someone know some other method?
D_L
Edit: Also the voltage tweak have failed... It's frustrating...

There maybe something related to the manufacturer. For example in my country the cheepest MicroSDHC Cards are made by Adata and Serioux (there maybe other chinesse brands but these are present at known big IT stores).
So people bought them, especially Adata ( which should be better than Serioux).
Class 6/10... and they ended up not working.
So my advice is to try with a Knigston/Kingmax/Transcend/ Sandisk( not that cheap) same 16gb and same class, see if you see a difference.
And i think Class 6 is enough... if let's say Class 10 from the manufacturers above it too expensive.
Maybe it helps.

Transcend?? um.. i don't think so, it's just the same.
perviously i had Transced 8 GB class 6,
using my old galaxy android, it's so fine and speed is good.
but after went to Defy, it was horrible.
often to cause hangs!
have to unmount / remount, which often not succeed, and have to pull out battery.
and it's especially happen when taking picture with camera or downloading + listening to mp3.
many good moments missed, can't take picture, because have to pull out the battery,
and that's embarassing, in front of my friend.
they think i have a smartphone but often hangs,
and now i know it is just because highclass sdcard.
i am using class 2 sdcard now, never get hangs.
end of problem.

I had the same problem.
I bought a 16GB class 10 SDHC ab. a month ago and when I'd been using my Defy always been freezed when I opened the Gallery or any else card related application.
I deleted the partition on the card and created a new one without LBA mode and the problem had been solved temporary. After a week it was start to make freezes again.
Actually I'm using a 16GB class 2 one (I bought it for 15 pounds as used). There's no problems any more, and it works as the same speed as the class 10 one (by the SD Tools).

I gave up and went back to a class 6 8GB Samsung, i did start a thread on the official Motorola forum if you want to go let them know about the problems, it might get them to issue a fix if more people start to complain about it. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/53050?tstart=30

i tot only me..
same here..
wanna sell my DNA 16GB class 10.
phone hang quite easily after change to this

So i want to buy a 8 gb card class 4 or 6 tomorrow... and it must work would CM7 . What to get ? I understand that using Sd booster or CM7 default i should get the same speed acordingly to what i set ?

Hi Deonix.
My SD is a SanDisk 8GB class 4 and working well.
A couple days a go i try to use my other SD 16GB (class 10) and had issues, so i back to the 8GB class 4.
Some users have 16 and 32GB class 2 and 4 and they have no problems.

Thanks... i will choose a class 4 probably Kingmax. Anyone with working Class 6 8gb? what manufacturer?
Question: i will have on my 8 gb card a bunch of apps-30-40... some games including Asphalt 6 < for example>, MotoNav, and music. Out of this i think i will still have 2-3 Gb free . I don't need to transfer data from Card to PC frequently (fast i mean) maybe when it happens i will use the phone as a mass storage.
The question is: Do i need a class 6? I only need to work properly while in the phone and have a decent speed as a Mass storage from time to time.

definetely is not cm7 problem,
i thought it was.. and many people thought it too.
maybe it's froyo kernel seems little bit buggy with hiclass sdcard.
and cm7 using froyo kernel though.
using class 2 sdcard is perfect.
the speed is just the same though.
have been checked with some bencharking tools.

Both me and the missus are using class 6 samsung cards this one to be precise http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Micro-Speed-memory-Class/dp/B002WGIV10/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_44 and it works greatSD tools shows a write speed of around 10MB/s and a read speed of around 21MB/s

actually, i'll buy SD Card Team 16 Gig class 10..
any problem with froyo for class 10 ?
need more advice from u guys

many people confirm there's a problem with that,
even with 6 class sdcard.
i don't know what's going on but it's happening and annoying,
it happens on froyo, and CM7 too (FYI, CM7 Quarx uses froyo kernel).

Thats what we are all saying, class 10 cards seem nothing but a problem regardless of size. This is why i went back to the class 6 samsung and posted a link to it cos i know it works.

Just bought a 8 gb Kingston class 4. Will report speed and any other issues as soon as i install CM7 with it.
Hope it works well. It's an Android Kernel issue from Froyo on the Class 6/10 crashes as i can understand.. nobody's fault ( here on XDA i mean). Still some work.
Also i remain strong on my position.
Choose your manufacturer wisely even if it costs 10-20$/i dunno how much more.

I use kingmax 16gb class10 allways hang,
so bad,
use class 4 or 2 batter

i nearly bought a 16GB Lexmark class 6 card today but i dare not in case it didnt work, this is a crap situation.

Same here - Froyo 2.2.2 and Transend 16GB Class10 - freezes at random basis and random applications. No issues with 8GB Class 4.

I have similar problem, how do I know the class of the card? It is I believe a Kingston, I've had it for ages.
Also if it is relevant to someone, I have a Defy from CEE distribution, with Froyo.

You can check if the class is printed on the card. Usually it is a number inside a letter "C" (like a full circle).

Major SD card issue caused by this phone (this is my 2nd broken card)

This is the second pny class 4 16 gig i bought for this phone and both of them have been corrupted. Today when i was texting, my phone suddenly gave me a notification saying SD card removed unexpectedly when i didn't touch it at all, then it rebooted. Now the card is stuck in read-only and cannot be formatted. I've tried putting it in the computer but i get an error saying windows cannot complete the format. Ive also tried other things such as formatting it in a camera and even in the phone itself. Does anyone have any idea why this has happened? Also, does anyone know how to fix the micro sd? I've only had this one for only 2 days.
edit: all the files on my card are still there and are not corrupted at all

are you using any mods that involve the SD card?

[Q] Whats the best SD card to use with an SD ext partition?

Hi,
Im currently using sebastians rom on my htc desire. Everone says it runs super smooth, but im having huge lags. I thought it was the rom, so i tried cool3ds room, which was said to be smooth aswell. Also with this rom, some huge lags.
Both roms use an sd ext partition to store a part of the rom. It got me thinking, could it be my sd card being too slow? I dont know what kinda sd card i have, since i got no knowledge about sd cards whatsoever.
Could these huge lags be causes by my sd card? If so, what sd card would you guys recommend to buy, for maximum performance?
Thanks in advance!

So we learnt what - that smooth and stable terms should be taken with a grain of salt here.
If you don't don't know what sd card you have, I think it is safe to assume that you have a default Samsung class 2 card, which is too slow for anything. Pull out your card and see what number is inside the small circle written on it.

Nice one.
@OP:
To sum up my experiences and what I read, I can recommend a Class 6 SD card from A-DATA, Kingston, Lexar or SanDisk.

Youre right, I indeed do have a Samsung class 2 SD card. Could this really be causing the lags in the rom?
It's not that Im allways experiencing lags, sometimes the rom is super smooth and other times it's soooo slow. For example, when I click the settings icon, it takes 3-4 second before it actually enters the settings menu, and when I scroll between my homescreens, it freezes for 1-2 seconds.
Could a class 6 SD card be a solution? Is class 6 the best to use? I saw some class 10 sd cards around, arent they faster than class 6?

I have a class 4 Sandisk 32gb and seems to work fine

Why not just go for a class 10 card? I got myself a Lexar 32GB from Amazon and every Runny rom is super smooth

Class 10 SD cards are not always recognized by the Desire. So to be sure, one should use a Class 4 -6 SD card. Especially Class 6 works well for all 'technologies' (even DATA2SD).

Is there a noticeable difference between class 6 and 10 when using e.g a runnymede rom? If so, which microsd class 10 cards are confirmed working on the htc desire?

Ye I did. But notice erklats comment. He says class 2 sd cards are too slow for anything. Since I got a class 2 sd card, big chance this is causing the occasional lags.

I did not notice any lags with my Class 6 SD card (in AOSP roms). Never heard / read about anyone who had speed problem with a good Class 6 SD card when using Sense roms.
So in theory Class 10 SD card should work more than ever without a lag. But in practice Class 10 SD cards cause some lags. Don't know why, maybe their are too fast (ATTENTION: dangerous superficial knowledge).

Because sd card is only one side of the coin. Then you have your memory controller and if that one doesn't cooperate with class 10 card, congrats on money wasted.

I ordered a class 6 A-DATA sd card, just to be safe. Ill let you know if I notice any significant improvements regarding the rom speed.

Allright, I just received my SD card en reinstalled Runneymede by sebastiaan on it. Overall performance seems to have improved. Ill keep you updated about the long term performance and if I experience any huge lags. Thanks for now!

[Q] microSDcards 32Gb formats to 30Gb and doesn't mount in clockwork recovery

I tried this to no avail. Used gparted to partition and format several times.
when using adb, I don't see devices attached, strangely enough. and so expectedely, subsequent commands from above link do not function
when I put the sd card in a pc under linux, I see all the partitions.
when I boot leedroid, card storage is available.
tried a vast amount of hints and solutions, but nothing helped.
During my trials, lost 2gb of sdcard storage...nowhere to find them...
phone is rooted, s-off. a 16GB sd card works like a charm but is getting small
I want to use cm7, as it give me more room for sw. (phone is always full as for many of you!)
best regards,
Olivier

Most people has problem with a class 10 sdcard, 16gb or 32gb class 6 and below, no problem.
I had same problem with 16gb class 10 but not with 16gb class 6.

So my recommendation is to get 16 GB Class 6 SD card from a good manufacturer like A-DATA, Kingston, Lexar or SanDisk. It will be fast enough for all operations.
