Galaxy S3 random shutdown during video playback - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I have a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 Micro SD attached to my phone.
It can play music files, record videos and capture Photos without a hitch.
Problem happens only when I start video playback. 30% of the time, when playing a video the video playback hangs up in the middle and the phone reboots itself.
Does it sound more like a memory card issue (which I hope so)? or more of a phone issue? I did a factory reset on my phone my phone and that doesn't seem to help.
Couple of things I'm planning to try:
re-format the memory card and try again. Should I try formatting the card from my phone or from a PC?
Record video to the internal phone memory and playback see if the hangup comes back again.
Try a 32GB class4 sandisk card which I posses(recommended?)
The reason for this thread is....are there any known issues using sandisk class 10 32GB card on the phone? or any class 10 32GB card in general? Please share your thoughts!

I've not had any issues with mine and I have the same one. Try a different video player and then maybe reformat the card. Seems odd to be only 30% of the time

Sd card disappears when playing music with screen off

I recently a brought a new 8gb lexar sd card after my 8gb sandisk died on me ealier this week. It died before in my old xv6800 and I was able to reformat it & use it. I think the culprit is the music folder but I am not sure. I can play music with the screen on and not have a problem with CorePlayer (ver 1.3.6) or Windows Media Player. Whenever I play music with the screen off, it plays for a few minutes then shuts off. I have the Touch Diamond screen off app installed too. Running stock rom.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? And possible fixes for it?

[Q] HD video recording - audio sync problems

As a HD video recorder my Galaxy W is not fit for purpose
If I record videos longer than about 60 seconds, the audio and video start to get way out of sync. I don't think it happens gradually - the sync usually goes out after a short glitch in the video. With each glitch, the video falls further behind the audio, and it never recovers - it just gets worse and worse.
I see the problem when recording to either an external SD or the internal storage, so it's not an SD card speed issue.
The problems go away when I record in a lower resolution (480p is fine), but one of the reasons I bought the W was for its HD recording capabilities!
Does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?

I didn't check this problem in Recording, but i found the similar problem in playing 720p video. After a few seconds the audio is out of sync.
I thinks its purely a software problem, and future update will resolve this.
Currently i have 2.3.6.
Thanks
Yeah, it's not just a playback problem - if I transfer the videos to my PC the same glitches and audio sync issues are still there. I think I'll try and report this to Samsung if I can bear the pain of negotiating their support website.
Sometimes I also experience this when recording 720p video to internal storage, but no problem when I record to external microsd class 10 card. I assume this because when I did benchmark the internal storage writing speed only about 5MB/sec while the external storage reaches 15-17MB/sec on writing speed. What class is your external micro sd?
As for playback sync issues, I did not experience it either...
That sux. I havn't looked it up on my phone yet, but I really need my camera for recording this weekend. So It better not be that problem on my phone.

My external card is only class 4, but I naively assumed that the internal storage would be up to the task even if my external card wasn't. Looks like that might not be the case. 5MB/s - is it really that bad? If so, that's seriously crap.
I noticed the same with internal SD
Did not yet make HD video's using external SD. Hopefully that will resolve it.
Csn galaxy fit record hd videos to about 480p somehow as its having a powerful 5mp camera...?? Plz help me .. I need to record hd videos with my fit these vacations

Weird problem with stock video player when playing video via SD Card! What's up?

Never needed a third party video player tbh, until for last two days I am noticing this very weird problem. See I was watching season 1 of The Big Bang Theory, and say the first episode, which is 22 minutes 38 seconds. Now when I watch it with the stock video player everything is fine till 22 minutes 25 seconds, then it just freezes and a pop up, 'can't play this video'! I don't know what nonsense is this, but I have tried to format my SanDisk 32GB Ultra both in FAT32 and exFAT, but same! When I copy the same file in phone memory then it plays fine, but not from the SD card. And if I play that video on my Desktop via the SD card, it plays fine too. Don't know what's going on. So I installed MX Player, didn't have any hope, but it played it fine. But I would very much like to know what's the problem, is the SD card, or anything else?
Everything else I have tried so far works fine from SD card though, say some movies, and videos, but only that series (all the episodes!).
So has any one of you faced same issue? What did you do then?
Thanks in advance.
PS: This is the file I was trying to play, if that helps,
And this is the error I am getting,
That's really odd, did you find any info on logs?

MicroSD 64GB problem/Issue!

I just bought a kingstone 64GB MicroSD card for my Note II . When I loaded my music (mp3 files) onto the card, but when I whant to play the music suddenly an error message would pop up saying "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file". Then it would start skipping from song to song, looking for a file it could play. I had to force quit the music player to keep it from continually skipping songs. I tried unmounting and reformatting the card (Fat32), but the same problem kept happening. Then I decided to put all my music on the phone's internal memory, and now it works just fine. Did I just get a bad card or did I mount/configure it wrong when I put it in?
sorry if it has been talked about this issue , but as far as I searched have not found anything helpful
I ahve the same issue with my microSD card. It seems a lot of the time that this happens with SanDisk ones, but mine's a Samsung one. Would hope there's some other solution other than an RMA...

SD card and/or video playback issues?

I've had the 8.4 since 6/27 and every day I've had it freeze on playback of videos. I am using MX Player Pro and Gplayer and both will be able to play a file fine one moment then after time the video will freeze and I am no longer able to play any file of the SD card even if I close the player app and restart it. The video files are 720p MKV files with no custom codec for MX Player Pro (hardware + decoding) and software decoding (for the audio) for Gplayer. The only way to get it working again is if I unmount the SD card and re-mount it. After re-mounting the SD card the files are able to play from either player normally.
I've done a factory reset on the tablet and reformatted the micro SD card but the problem keeps happening. I never had a problem with the same SD card and videos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 so I do not think the mirco SD card is the issue.
Anyone else having issues with playing video of their micro SD cards? I am not sure if I should just return it or try and exchange it if there is a problem with the SD slot? I am guessing there might be some problem with software though since unmounting and remounting or rebooting seems to fix the issue
Might be when the tablet goes to sleep and I have MX Player Pro or Gplayer running. Like it shuts down acces to the SD card or something. I will try copying the same video file locally and try playing it when the SD card becomes unresponsive. Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue because I love the screen and the smaller size but it's kind of annoying to have it freeze up.
Mod, please delete thread. I exchanged the tablet and the new one has no issues with the SD card.
