I just got a nice refurbished 64 GB micro sd card from woot.com. When I listen to play music and use it as my storage location, I get typically 2 good songs, then 2 songs with a lot of chirping and cutting out, then 2 good songs, then 2 with chirping, etc. I have my titanium backups going to the SD card without issue. I also have my camera app set to store pictures there.
Titanium backup and my pictures all seem fine. I don't recall Play Music All Access doing this when my storage location was set to internal.
There is a lot of cards with fake capacity, i ran on 3 or 4 of them. It seems that they have ok capacity in windows, if you write lot of files it seems they are written ok, but when you try to read them, then the problems occurs. Google the H2testw, great program to determine real capacity of card. For 32gb it ran approximately 2.5 hours, so prepare to wait

Hi all
must say i love ur forums here, i only just found them recently and they are brilliant!
anyway i wanted to create a thread on a problem i have alot with my 512 SD sandisk card crashing, loosing files etc etc there are scattered posts on it.
was suggest in a few posts that partitioning 4 gig cards stops them from doing it so i tried it on my 512 with very good results so far. no crashing yet. was happening almost every day.
oh and someone said they had it alot with egress rss reader, i also run this and have had more problems with it since doing so, could it be that Fat16 cant handle the amount of files it downloads for the feeds ?
i spilt 2 partitions both with 208 megs each. the reader and some of my core apps are in one side with the other side running games music and movies.
windows sees them as storage card and storage card 2 activesync will also let me install stuff to either partition 8) [/i]
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

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?

Certain apps, more like games, use the SD card for saving data like many Gameloft titles like Gun Bros save over a gig of data onto the card so that the actual app doesn't take up too much room. The only problem is that our phones use that internal storage for everything and I was wondering if there was a way to switch apps from using my internal card to using the external as a default.
My external card is a 32GB and the internal is a 16GB so I have plenty of room.
The search feature is really awesome...

hello
i bought a note 2 which came with a 32gb kingston sd card but im having problems getting things to stay on the card without it flaking out on me
i have tried 3 times now to add about 15gb of music to the card. twice all in one folder and the 3rd time i put it in 3 folders as i thought maybe the file was too big.
the 3rd time i thought it had worked
it showed the storage as about 15gb remaining but then later in the day i went to the music app and i only had a few artists in the playlist so went to the sdcard and it shows the folders but with weird names and if you go in to them there are no and it showed total space free of 29gb i definatly have not deleted any files manually something starnge is going on
i have formatted the sd on the second try but made no diffrence.
do you think my card has died??
heres a screen of what the folder names look like

It appears to me that the file system on your SD card is becoming corrupted, which tends to happen when a card is failing. Try a different SD card and see what happens.
Could be a fake card and you don't actually have as much storage.

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.
