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 : ) )

Well hi! I've had my a100 since Christmas and I've been loving it (other than the planner thinking no US cities exist), and until last week I've been using it to watch stuff all the the time on netflix while I'm gaming.
Last weekend I woke up and there was a force close error from the market app. I tried to report it and it said there was no space left on the device. Odd, since my internal and external sd both have a couple gigs free. Ever since then, it's impossible to watch anything on netflix. The sound is fine, but the video is insanely choppy. Barely 3 - 5fps. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling netflix with no effect. My tablet is totally stock. Not even rooted.
Anyone got any suggestions or thoughts on this? I'd really like to get it working again, but I don't even know where to begin. The cause and the symptoms don't make sense together. Is there there some other app I can check updates on that netflix uses for its streaming?
Some things you can try.
1st: Update to the leaked ICS and see if that fixes your problem.
2nd: Backup all your apps into your SD card with Titanium Backup, and then do a factory reset and see if that works.(needs root)
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?
Hi guys,
I have a bone stock Note 2.
Since a couple of days ago, the gallery has been acting really weird. It would lag, freeze, ask to close/wait and even crash. When i zoom into the image, it would jerk and jiter even if my hands are of the screen. The upper part of the phone around the area of the sd card reader and front part fo the screen would become really warm to touch.
This is all of a sudden, mind you. Ive never experienced any lag in the gallery. I use it all the time over wiwfi to send images to my dlna connected devices without a hitch.
I thought my sd card was going back. i replaced the 16gb kinstaon card with a 32gb sandisk, and it hasn't made any difference at all. SAme problem.
The problem is alleviated if i switch wifi off. But ive never had to do that before. I have always hd wifi on and connected all the time with no problem until a few days ago.
I have all sync's off including cloud sync. There should be nothing syncing in the background.
Its not the sd card, it cant be the sd port as it works fine with wifi off... so im at a lost as i have no more ideas on what to trouble shoot.
Im thinking it may have been an update that i did not notice maybe? All share cast is not samsung link... dont know if that would do it...
I do hop ei get some insight to what is going in with my note 2.
Anybody else having similar problems or a solution?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
tried new card,.. same thing.
tried hard reset, and still same thing...
what else can it be?
hardware failure?
Figured it out!!!!
Plex media server was causing it. Once i disabled it on my PC, gallery is working like it should again.
My phone is now good two years old. It doesn't show its age externally which is why I'm not exactly jumping to replace it, but it does have some "internal" issues.
Recently it became quite jerky & unresponsive. This shows in apps just not snapping in, animations tear & crack all over the place and, well, it's just not smooth. Actually, this is so bad that it's even hard to answer the phone because it just doesn't detect the swipe, so sometimes it takes a second or even third try.
So I decided to go from CM based ROM to a stock based ROM. Made a flash, a factory reset and rebooted the thing. My next step is to restore my apps with titanium backup, so I install it from Play Store, install the Pro key and then restore all the apps (some 40 of them). I'm not sure if this plays much of a role because even if I don't use TiBu to restore, the same thing happens anyway.
At first, everything was smooth again. But in a matter of hours, the phone was jerky again. This came as a bit of surprise as normally it takes around a week (but it always becomes jerky). I swear I'm not doing anything taxing with the phone. I uninstalled all the apps that I thought might be causing this, but nothing had any effect. I'll now go back to the CM based ROM because it suits me better in some aspects, but I've just about had it with all this unresponsiveness.
Is there any way for me to detect what it is that's causing these hiccups? Is there a rational explanation for my woes?
Try to reboot in safe mode and see if it becomes jerky again after one or two days...or hours.
If it becomes then is a hardware problem.
If not try a full wipe install your fav apps but don't restore any data.
Do you have an SD card in your phone by any chance? This phone suffers from slow SD cards. I have a Kingston SD Class 4 card and the Gallery, Messenger, and some apps just start freezing and being unresponsive. Ordered a Class 10 UHS-I Samsung SD Card......lets hope it works better. The phone is super quick when not using an SD card on stock 6.0
Thanks for the suggestions. Since I don't have an SD card in, I'll attempt a safe mode probe to see if it helps.
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'll give it a try, thx
EDIT: the same problem persists also with Poweramp.

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.
