Rogers Marshmallow - SD Card issues? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

LG G4, Marshmallow 6.0, Rogers, Stock
On Lollipop I had my phone set up to play music off of my SD card. It worked great.
Now I've upgraded to Marshmallow, and my music is skipping weirdly. Not big audible clicks or anything, but maybe 1/4 second of a song is sped up too fast every so often.
It's the same SD card (SDXC 64 gb, UHS-I).
Benchmarking it gives a read speed of 32 mb/s, with a write of 16 mb/s.
I know Android 6 made changes to how the SD card mounts. Doesn't seem like it would cause this, though.
Is there something changed in Marshmallow that could be causing this issue?
All help appreciated.

Defintely not alone
I am experiencing the same exact issue. I thought it was just me glad to hear I am not alone. I tried wiping the cache... i used another music player, I do notice that it happens less when the screen is on. Once the screen turns off... it's almost instant like if a process is frunning or something... not sure... i would love to hear some ideas.
Thank you in advance!

[Q] lagging due to sd space

Hi guys
has anyone noticed or tryed this, fill your sd card up so you have less than 700 mb left, then watch the hox run like a pig.
I thought it was down to the memory leak problem but i have the latest 1.29.11 update which is suppose to fix that issue.
Ive found that if i keep over 1gb free on my card the machine is smooth as butter but any less than 700mb it heats up, and runs very laggy.
i orginally thought it was a index problem after putting files on the machine, but it runs all night and still the same in the morning, and i can repeat this failure every time.
has anyone else noticed this?
cheers

[Q] SD Card Woes

Hello everyone!
Last Christmas I got the 64gb SDXC Sandisk card which I have been looking forward to getting for quite some time.
I have a d2att running CM10.0 Stable so I quickly formatted that sucker to FAT32.
I put some of my HD videos on it and I was on my merry way.
A couple of days ago I was running low on internal storage, so I decided to move my music over to the roomy SD card. I took the SD card out of the phone and loaded it from my nicely tagged files from my external HD.
I put it back in the phone and it took a while for MediaScanner to do it's thing, understandable I just dropped around 10GB of music on top of it, no big deal.
After around 10-15 min of searching, the phone finally sped up and I fired up Google Music. What I found was half my music was tagged as "Unknown Artist" or not even showing up. Maybe one or two albums were working okay.
I was curious and tried multiple combinations of resetting the Media data and Google Music data in an attempt to get it to play nice.
No such luck however.
Out of curiosity I installed PowerAmp and had it scan my library, to my surprise all my music was properly tagged and sorted as it should after a long scanning session.
In addition to all of this every few start-ups I get the same lag from MediaScanner attempting to go through my SD card. It is very frustrating as I have to wait 10-15 min for my phone to be useful.
So overall I guess I'm really trying to find out why the MediaScanner lag is occurring here and there as well as to why it cannot find my music properly. Ideas or thoughts?

D855 - Videos stuttering and gallery slow

Hey,
I've encountered problems with my G3.
1. Recording videos is fine, but the final video file is mostly always broken. Only the first 2 seconds are playable or the video stops and you can only hear sound. Tried to play around with the capture settings but I always get the same result.
2. When I go into my gallery, thumbnails load reeaaaally slow and loading the big image is even slower. Sometimes photos are shown as broken but they worked fine a few minutes ago.
I didn't apply any mods to the camera. All I got is root and lower DPI. (560)
Do you have any suggestion how to fix this? Can my SD Card be a possible reason for this?
regards
Probably your sd. Back up your data and reformat it using the phone.

99.99% the problem is your SD card.

[CM14]Spotify freezing and crashing phone

Hey Guys, newbie here!
I've been using CM13 for a while now. Recently my Spotify app started freezing and crashing my phone when accessing my 64GB MicroSD card. I can not reproduce this however since it seems to happen randomly. But when Spotif or my SD card are uninstalled i do not get these freezes.
I did a clean install of the most recent CM13 Nightly and the Experimental CM14 release, which did not yield any results other than corrupting my data file system. After fixing this, I now run in the Experimental CM14 without Spotify.
If you have ans Idea I would really appreciate the help from you guys.
*Edit* This is about the LG G3 D855 which I am using with a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD card.

Wow, reading that post, it's almost as if I posted it myself.
I have similar issues as you. But I'm using stock. I thought it was something wrong with my new 128gb microsd. I even gotten a new battery just in case, as I see other people pointing to these random issue to battery issue.
Until I realized Spotify somewhat actively caches stuff on my microsd card, plus the earlier issue of using network data in the background even when not actively in use (killed my wife's data usage for that month).
Issues I've seen are phone not waking up from black screen (or taking a really really long time to wake up), issue playing the next song with my regular mp3 player with songs stored on microsd, spotify freezing, bluetooth freeze on connect, etc.
Just recently I've just tried to clear all data/cache on the spotify app (took a long time, I clicked the button and went to sleep). Then as soon as I'm back on spotify, I go to settings and tell it to cache on phone sd instead of external. So far my phone seem to be running better. Will have to wait a few more days to see how it goes. Hope this helps (for myself as well : ) )

constantly scanning sd card

Hi all!
I have always kept my music library on internal storage but I recently got a large sd card so I don't have to copy music back again every time I reset the phone. I am currently running stock Pie with June update, no root, bootloader locked.
Since I have put my music library on the sd card (30gb of music on a 64gb card) everytime I reboot or wake up the phone, I got a notification of "scanning sd card". And the music library in several players I have tried (pulsar, shuttle, musicolet) is empty and slowly repopulates.
When I first used the card I put it into the phone and formatted it as portable storage, then copied music in it.
I thought i was the only one with this problem. It happened after the PIE update. It was ok when i was on OREO. The same thing happened to my note 5 pro after the PIE update. It seems this is related to PIE rom, slowly remounting the sd card ofter boot. I changed a few cards before thinking it was the card problem. Hoping the devs would solve this problem with the next update.
Give PowerAmp a try, it's something, and works even after reboot

With the smaller sd card and music library on the phone storage I didn't have this problem, did you?

I used memory card since i bought the phone, it's a 64 gb card. Never had any problem when i was on oreo. The music from internal storage seems to have no problem. Tried a few cards and seems like the 32 gb card loads faster. The 64 gb and 128 gb loads slowly and these are high speed read/wirte cards. Also if i didn't use the player after a few days i have to rescan the library again for the music to load. The same goes to some stuff on gallery too. Contents from memory card went blank and only viewable after a while.
I've also same issue on two individual A2 lite with 32gb SD cards (1x samsung & 1x intenso).
I expect that the SD card is unmounted when the device goes into sleep mode. If phone wakes up again the card will be mounted again.

I can also confirm this behavior.
May its possible to get some details with MatLog (during wakeup & sleep). But I'm not able to do this, cause my phone is not rooted.
I have this problem only with the music on sd. Images in the gallery show up correctly.
I have searched for this issue, and it seems a lot of people experienced it also with older android versions and phones. Someone fixed it with an app called Wakelock, others just changed their sd card or lived with it.
Guess i'll just live with it until this phone fails me. This problem doesn't really annoy me much. It's still pretty much a great phone for its price.
For me it's very frustrating, gallery does not work correct if i use it direct after unlock and also camera app will crash if used direct out of lockscreen and phone was in deep-spleep before (target directory is set do SD card). Sometimes (1-2%) if i wake up the phone the card is not mounted properly. Phone reports card is damaged, after reboot everything is fine again.
