Does anyone else have an issue, when you set an mp3 as your ringtone or notification (i.e. instead of the stock sounds) it starts plays 20% slower than it should? Like it's very laggy/choppy at the beginning of the sound for about 3 seconds before it eventually catches up to regular speed ... almost as if the phone can't handle playing the mp3 and also vibrate at the same time!
It seems to be the case if you are charging the phone using either wall charger or USB.
I get the slight choppy thing too. I hadn't noticed whether it was when charging or not, but it doesn't always happen. I haven't noticed it at all today to be honest, but I did restart the phone earlier as I was having problems with a game.
Yes, same here, am using stock ringtone and am on Kit Kat, ringtone rings up jerky and choppy in the very beginning.

I have even tried copying the files onto the internal storage to allow it to read the file faster ... no change.
And sorry, I can also confirm it is all the time, not only when charging.
Seriously ... beginning to think this is money not well spent.
I found a problem with my wife's Z1C today where any music being played off her 16gb Sandisk microSD would cut in and out every 3-5 seconds. Also happened for ringtones.. I swapped out the microsd card for a Sandisk Ultra 64gb and solved the issue. I think the quality of the microsd card is an issue with these phones

I've checked XDA for a similar thread but I could not find one. Sorry if there's a similar thread though, I'm still an XDA noob
I am using a Kingston 8GB class 4 microSDHC card and most of my apps are stored on it + music, pictures, everything. After (doesn't matter here, it can be 1 hour, 1 day, 5 minutes) 1 hour of idling (standby), the card gets disconnected and reconnects ! I have access to my music and pictures but my apps would simply not work anymore! It's frustrating to reboot my phone just to be able to resume reading or resume my Cut The Rope fun. This can happen up to 4 times a day. It's happening from day 1 since I bought it Is buying another card an option? Is it the phone's fault? Am I the noob here?
u can test it by using another microsd.. if it goes ok, then its ur microsd problem..
if not, maybe either a phone sw or hw..

Thank you very much for your very fast reply. I will get a new memory card and will see how it goes. What memory card do you use? Does your Arc behave like mine?
Patriot 32GB Class 10 works fine for me.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
I use a KingMax 16GB Class 10 card and have never experienced the issue you've described.
As for getting your apps back, I would imagine you'd need to reboot.
Of lexar, patriot, and topram. I would assume patriot is at least equal to lexar since they make RAM for computers. I know lexar is like a huge flash memory manufacturer though. It's $20 more than the patriot one though. I'm looking at 32GB ones because my FLAC music doesn't like fitting on 22GB between my phone and 8gb microSD card I have now. I'd probably still need a 64GB one if they ever come out though, FLAC is unforgiving in its size, that's the price of quality though.
Funny thing is all the music I'm putting on it is only 18.5GB (and I even added a few bands' discographies worth of music to the list to check size) on it and.. it doesn't really even fit half of it?... Anyway, that blazing 2MB/s average 5MB/s peak transfer speed to my infuse is just incredibly annoying so I'd love to just have a removable SD card with all the stuff that's subject to future hate, such as music.
usually sandisk products are extremely fast and good quality however with your choices, patroit is decent in it quality though.hope i helped.
that's really odd . . .
Kingston works fine for me, but maybe its just my experience
i definitely recommend sandisc. they're awsome
using a 16gb sandisc in my phone, never had problems, and as much as i know they got lifetime warranty?
but srsly, the 32gb products are just too expensive right now. so lastly, i bought a unknown 32gb card for around 40$.
i think its some chinaware, but still i can play flac files from it without problems and no quality loss (i dont hear any quality loss with my UE TF10)
well so, for music only, this unknown 32gb microSD is enough with my cowon j3 so i have 64gb in total for my flacs, but i would never use it in my phone.. i just dont trust it enough.. only sandisc for my phones
Nonononono. I can't buy sandisk because they don't make a class 10 32GB microSD card. I can NOT sit through another 5 hours of transferring my songs to my phone. 10 would at least half the time.
But the weird thing is the media player that came with my phone was playing FLAC songs fine until now and now it's all "This file type is not supported"
Edit: a reboot fixed that... weird

aaah, i see. i got extremely slow transfer rates with my cheap 32gig card too, but i dont care.. i just let it transfer an hour and go eat something xD
I always use sandisk. it's fine for me!
Man I can't wait until this new thing that IBM made that's 100x faster than flash comes out. I could transfer all my songs in a few minutes instead of 5 hours.
That would be great

have to agree with that.. if you have something that takes 5 hours on a semi fast SD card why not just start it overnight and sleep on it.. Is it really that critical to transfer all that music in such a short period of time?

This may be hard to comprehend, but some people have jobs that actually require communication in the form of a mobile phone. If it takes 5 hours to transfer the music I have right now, I don't even have half the music I want, it could take 15 hours to transfer all the music, do I sound like I have the time to not use my phone for anything for 15 hours?

Most of these cards comes with an SD Adapter which you can plug in your laptop, otherwise there are also microsdhc to usb adapters available if you don't have access to a laptop with an sd card reader.
then again there are also options for for multi card readers which are pretty cheap.
back to topic.
I always use either sandisk or transcend (currently using a 32gig transcend).
I'm using a Sandisc microsd card 16gb. It works great.
Using a Transcend Class 10 16GB currently. Faster than stock card

I brought one, formatted it to fat32 and created a partition of 2gb also fat32 using minitool partition so I can use link2sd, but my phone keeps randomly rebooting and apps are force closing, not all the time, but alot of the time, i never had the problem yesterday while using the 32gb sd.
Not sure if i can solve this and is this usual for the 64gb
my phone still keeps rebooting after testing for a few days, at first it's fine but as i gradually try and fill it up to about 21GB now the phone just constantly reboots with force closes and widgets not loading so im assuming 64gb isnt really that compatable, might be worth going back to the 32GB? sd
I have 64gb and have had it for months formatted it to fat 32 via windows I haven't made a second partition though aparantly 1gb is supposed to br max? And are you sure its a real when ever I buy asdcard I always use a program that tests it capacity

Thanks for you're reply, I brought it from amazon directly not a third party, i doubt they would rip me off, i have formatted through the computer and phone using fat32, but i haven't tried it without partitioning it, maybe that could be the problem?
I was able to partition the 32GB to 2GB without any problems but as it's a bigger card it could cause problems, will test it out
How would i test to see if it's real and what would the results show?
I bought mine from amazon also and I used a programe on my computer that i downloaded can't remember what is called but I remember there being a few it took like a hour to test though but I honestl don't know what's up with it you could try not partitioning it for awhile :/ but I have nearly used all the space on my card and experience no problems got about 5 gig left there's also sd tools on the play store or you could try wiping the card completely and starting from scratch :/

I have wiped it and starting from scratch using a 961mb partition just under 1GB as i read it can cause problems hopefully that will sort it if not i will try last resort with no partition, do you have the problem with low internal memory with not having a partition, that's only reason why i chose to do this on my 32GB as i had about 8GB left but i wasnt able to use it.
Nah I don't realy need it I havr 110 mb free and that's with wildblood 52 mb orderandchaos 23mb gangter rio 14mb dolphin browser 14mb and that's the big ones I have loads of games 68 on my play and 200 apps alltogether I do want a second partition but don't have a computer atm does using the second partion makes games run slower and can you move the data aswell as app? And can you movedalvik to sexond partition?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
I dont notice any difference in games slowing down just the same, it doesn't move all data it just uses the app but where as usually you have the app installed on your internal and the data of the game goes to you're sd, you can have both on your sd, keeps all your space, well thats how it worked on my 32GB with 2GB partition but maybe the 64GB causes problems with bigger partition doing that, i'm not sure about the dalvik catche.
No luck, woke up this morning picked up my phone and bang froze, twice rebooted and force close apps everywhere with my home screen widgets not loading, trying now without partition, last resort, otherwise im back to 32GB
after my conclusion i am still having reboots, trying back the 32gb if it still occurs then it's more serious then i thought.
i have also flashed stock firmwire just to see if that was causing it

Weird. I really don't think I've heard of one of these SD cards acting like that for the Play. SanDisk is normally pretty reliable in general, too.
If interested, I'd trade you a Samsung Class 10 that works great in my Play and has pretty good random read/write speeds as well. Although you'd be better off returning yours for the cash.

I don't mean to be rude or ignarant but how do you use app2sd as i am having no lucky with link2sdor any other low internal storage, i keep wanting to go to my 64gb as 32 wouldnt be enough, i love my games and want a phone full

Hi all,
I'm about to pull the trigger and buy a Note 2. I want to get the Titanium Grey one as I already have a White S2 so it's not worth getting white again. I was looking forward to getting the 32GB version, in my country we got a some units of the 32GB in white and now they're out of stock, and I guess we won't be getting 32GB anytime soon so I've decided on the 16GB coz I got fed up of waiting.
What I want to make sure of is, does swapping partitions of the internal sd with the external sd card really work with some script or with roms that have init.d enabled, can't remember exactly. I've seen a few tutorials and it does seem to work perfectly with lots of users. I'm planning on getting the famous 64GB Sandisk SDXC card. Also does the phone's speed get affected if I load the memory card with lets say 40GB or more of stuff in it??
Please make me comfortable enough to make my purchase
Thanks
I am currently using the extsd2internalsd mod (look it up int the Android Development section) and what it does is place the app's caches and other files on the sd card instead of the phone (ex. The 1GB file of Asphalt goes to the sd card ehile the small main app remains on the phone). So far this method has worked perfectly for me (internal memory has barely been used) so it's worth giving it a try
Regarding slow downs, on previous devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7) when the internal memory starts to fill up I could notice the device getting slower however I don't think this will happen on an SD card (I have 5GB remaining on my 32GB sd card and so far I had no slow downs)

Depends on files used. Also, you might notice slowdowns when you get to around 10% of your memory's capacity. For instance, the 64gb formatted is ~60gb and when you start getting below ~10gb it might slow down.

I usually dont fill up my phone with lots of images and videos...only apps and a few games that's. But the games such as Gameloft games do take a large amount of space..but I guess there is a workaround to this using GL to Sd or directory bind..is that correct??

Welcome~
I personally use directory bind. It is extremely simple to use and works great on the Note 2. Basically, puts the data of big apps to your externam sd card. All my big games are on my external now. Games like NFS Most Wanted, Modern Combat. I always have over 7 gigs in my internal. Currently have used about 30 Gigs on my external due to a lot of videos ^_^ Here's the link to Directory Bind Download the latest version "O" (It goes in alphabetical order)

I've looked into the extsd2internalSD v5.5 mod in the android development section, and it seems great.
Right now i'm downloading several custom roms so that I can try them when i'm at work, I still have to go to my carrier to get a Micro sim card and will look for a Sandisk 64GB class 10 memory card.
Thanks again bro
So I'm having issues with 4.1.2 update.
I was on 4.1.1 rooted with CF-AutoRoot, flashed back to a stock rom, updated OTA, redid CF-AutoRoot.
I don't think CF-AutoRoot is related here, but Im just detailing my steps.
So I noticed that whenever I lock my phone, and then unlock it (even after a few seconds or an hour), the SD card shows as being "remounted" for some reason. Every time. Never used to do this.
So if I'm in camera or playing music, lock the phone, and unlock it - the app will say "Media failed"
In battery, it says Media 49% battery usage.
CPU Total 28m 46s
Stay awake 39m 46s
Includes: Downloads, DRM Protected Content Storage, Media Storage, Downloads, com.sec.android.providers.downloads
Can anyone help? Any recommendations on how to approach the issue? Somehow can I log what apps are using this?
Do you have an app that auto downloads things such as a a podcast app? You can get better battery stats or something to see if it shows you the real culprit.

Very interesting. After doing a lot of Google and reading similar issues, I'm going to try reformatting my card when I get home and will report back if this works. If I force close media then the sd card cannot be used, which may infer some kind of corruption or some garbage
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You can probably kiss that card goodbye. The issues you are getting are the issues I was having and many others. I was lucky that I was able to backup stuff to my computer. Within an hour of that, my phone nor my computer would even recognize the card and it was dead at that point. I attempt to reformat the card but it did not work.
I tested the fault by using another Sandisk 16gb ultra that I had and it worked in both devices. Oddly enough I purchased another 32 gb card, same model, and have been trouble free for about a month.
Ever since putting in the new card, the media thing went away. I also froze a DRM process with Titanium Backup but I don't think that had anything to do with the media process taking up a huge chunk of battery.
Test this out by using another card or simply taking the SD card out for a while and see if the media battery sucker is still there.
