I've recently bought a brand new HTC HD2.
It was working just fine untill I transferred around 700+ music files(6Gigs worth of space) on the memory stick.
Ever since it has became really glitchy.
It freezes and sometimes just restarts itself.
6gb worth of music is nothing compared to what i have on my iPod.
Is this a known issue?
Is HTC HD2 not designed to load so much music on?
try removing music from the card and see if the problem stops, and always call your carrier and HTC to complain, f#3$s should be working hard on all these fixes
Well yeah, i removed the music... it works just fine.
This is so not... what i expected from HTC HD2.
Such an awesome phone, but ya what's the point of having
16 gigs of memory when your phone acts as its on down syndrome... when you have only about 6 gigs of music on it?
I have about 5GB of music no slowdowns whatsoever.... try reformating your microsd card, HR your phone, then load the music, then put it into the hd2... see how it goes..

if you have the t-mobile version then nothin is wrong with the phone...the memory card has a low class...a higher class memory card will work fine
there was a workaround mentioned a while ago that loads the music when the phone starts not when you open the music tab. I can't find it anymore but maybe that helps with your issue (btw I'm looking for that workaround too, can't find it anymore).
i beleive there is a fix something to do with sdcard power management basically your phone is scanning the sdcard and when u have lot sof files it can really mess with the phone but search the forums there should be a reg fix
HR your phone
@doctorcete: What does "HR your phone" mean?
Thanks

ya if you can post a link, I'd appreciate it
hey try these reg fixes in this post
should we apply all of those in that thread for it to stop searching?
The ones that have SDCARD in it but the others are good as well for battery management!
Hi All,
I was wondering if someone who has added an SD card to their Focus could comment on the performance of it with it in and with it out.
Maybe a video of before and after showing a game loading or just a general comment on what they've noticed?
Thanks very much and looking forward to your responses!

I got my Focus yesterday. Played with it all afternoon and evening. I already had a 16GB Sandisk class 2 card which is listed as compatible, so I went ahead and installed it.
Set everything back up and played with it some more, plus this morning. I've noticed no slowdowns or lagginess of any kind. I've got 22GB free after the install. Also tried the tethering and it worked great.
FYI: I did order the 16GB Kingston class 4 card, but didn't want to wait for it. I'll put that one in my old phone.
Verdict: very happy!
Thanks very much!
I saw a video just now with someone who had added a SD card to their Focus and it still outperformed the HD7. BUT, it was relatively empty (< 2 GB of storage used) which means that it is possible that more of the data was on the NAND memory than on the SD Card.
It would be interesting to see someone install an app without the card in and run it to see how long it takes, then add a card and install the same app and time it, and then fill up the card with media and THEN install the app (once the storage is almost full) and then time it.
May take some time but should be worth it in the end .
I know the data is supposed to be spread across any of the storage facilities available but we're not sure how it is done (simply filling it up, striping the data).
Yes, that's video was unfair, need a full data card to test, waiting

I ran for a week without an SD card and encountered many of the same issues reported (app hang/crash, marketplace lag/hang). I had to reboot a couple times my first week for one reason or another.
I've since added a class 2 sandisk 8gb and do not notice any difference, performance or otherwise. Incidently I have not had to reboot since I added memory. I have rebooted it once only verify the data was still there after reset.
Hope this helps,
I tested my coworker's Focus vs mine. He had a 16GB Sandisk class 2 card with >8gb of data. I had no card with ~7GB of data. I launched ilomilo on each phone about the same time. They finished pretty much at the same time.
I'll second the above, I've noticed no difference between having a card and not having a card except for the amount of storage available. I'm not saying there's no difference, I'm saying I've noticed no difference so I didn't bother measuring. Programs load and run at the same speed either way, media loads and plays at the same speed...no difference.
Guess I should add that mine is an 8GB Sandisk class 2 card. No problems whatsoever as far as speed, rebooting or anything else.
In my opinion, the best type of test would be a stock Focus vs a Focus with an added micro sd card with the phone+card loaded to the max with content.
I will test this and report back. I have a Focus stock and my wife has one with a 16GB Sandisk Class 2 card in it. I'll load it up and see if there is a difference over the weekend.
My Focus with no memory card has not crashed in the marketplace yet, my wife's does a lot...
Great, thanks very much!
Looking forward to the results.
This is really weird. My first test has one focus with a Class 2 Sandisk 16GB card but only 4.5 GB used total on the phone. The other Focus is stock with no card and about 4.5 GB used also.
Speed tests so far
Stock Focus -
- Marketplace and browsing the catalogs - much faster the first time I tested. after however it was mixed and occasionally the 16GB was quicker.
- People Hub - faster load and browsing.
- Bing Faster load just barely.
Focus+16GB - faster at loading Uverse and Netflix
- Loads Uverse faster
- Loads Netflix a second faster.
Both phones always get back to the main screen at the same speed, weird Also, occassionally the 16GB is slower, then the next test its faster.
I'll load up the card and report back.
The way you should test
Try this place the sd card in then add 9 gb of music and videos then install the program. I highly doubt the sd cards are causing program and marketplace crashes as I can get those to more noticably with wifi on. Also no one really knows what is running in the background. There is multitasking just not available to 3rd party apps so who knows if we are getting facebook syncs when things act weird. I would suggest not setting any accounts up and power off the phone then power it back on if you want a real comparison. The OS files would run from the NAND so dlls and other files that games and programs use should always run from the NAND but not the program it's self so loading the card with data that fills the nand then installing a program to the sd card would show if there are performance issues.
I've been very curious about this. I have a pny 8gb class 4 in mine. I've been paranoid about performance decreases, but i haven't seen any clear difference. But i would certainly appreciate a video or something confirming that there is no performance decrease, just to settle my paranoia.
When I first bought my Focus it was about a week before I actually installed a SD Card in it. Im using a 8gb Sandisk class 2 right now and have noticed NO difference in performance at all. Its still fast, smooth and runs beautifully. Ill be getting a 16gb Sandisk class 2 card very soon...I would assume that wont change things either....Seems Sandisk is the way to go if you wanna be safe...since Sandisk in used for phone memory by Samsung.
I have the Kingston 32GB card in... no issues what so ever and I have over 15GBs on the card to date. I took the chance and so far *KNOCK-ON-WOOD* nothing has come up
Should be getting a Sandisk 16GB Class 10 soon, will update.
I did some video recording today in bright sunny conditions and when i went to watch the clip back the video stutters at times and also the sound is out of sync.
Handset is sim free and standard with the standard 8gb card that came with the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
I am sure i have read somewhere about video recording problems with other handsets where the class of memory if not high enough i.e 6 plus that there are issues recording in hd.
any ideas?
Turn off "Image stabilizer" in video & capture video again Hope it works
I don't have the link handy but there is an audio sync issue on the arc that becomes more noticeable the longer the recording is. It was reported to SE support. Hopefully a fix will be released.
Here is a link
yeah i have the same problem and you can se other peoble with the same problem on this link go to talk.sonyericssondotcom
someone on another thread in here (think it might have been commodoor) suggested that it might be related to low internal storage.. I've installed "auto memory manager" which tweaks the andoid mem manager to keep more memory free - rather than killing active tasks - since I did that I haven't seen the problem (YET)!!.. have you noticed if you get this problem when you have low memory available?
thanks for all the replys
Well i have very vew apps installed on the phone at the moment but will check where they are stored and move them to the memory card if that is thought to help.
The video clip itself was only about 3mins max in length so that really shouldnt be an issue should it?
I will also try it with the image stabalizer off if thats thought to help.

I said it somewhere. again i had this when i just got my phone. But it can also happen if you have a slow sd card. Slow sd card was the problem at Nexus forum when we where able to record 720p with the nexus. it looks like the same issue. But with the standard delivered cd card ishould work great. i use a class6 16GB card so no issues with that.

Are you using the standard delivered sd card with your arc?
what also can happen is that you have to use the phone a while like couple of days ti get everything working right (so the dalvik-cache can build). after couple of days it will work great.
just noticed that the standard card i have is only a class2
that cant be right is it?

Yes, that's right
My Arc and Desire HD came with Class 2 cards too.
seems very low for a device to record hd to?

It is low indeed. i don't knwo why they put a class2 card, class4 would be a lot better.
I am using VGA modes now because of that
Hope it's only a matter of sdhc class...
pretty sure that class 2 should be quick enough to support HD recording...
EDIT - Depends on the compression rate - but Class 2 supports upto 2MB/s (16Mb/s) and most 720p, compressed, is likely to be less than 10Mb/s.. so should be fine.
Never had this kind of issue.video recording just fine. I usually upload to facebook.although I convert and resize it first.but both still fine
GN Multimedia-Xperia Arc
Keep having this problem with every video I record is starting to really annoy me.
im also having this problem.. but only with 720p recording.. no prob if using other settings..
I get camera freeze on mine with a class 10 32gb card :-(
Sent from Galaxy Tab.
have you tried clearing the internal phone memory before you record? I suspect that it's the way the system is caching and then writing out to SD, rather than the SD card speed.. If the Camera has more internal memory available then it may be ok? I did you couple of tests and it seemed ok.. (currently using Free Memory Manager - which manages the system using the in build memory manager, rather than killing tasks indiscriminantly.
I also have the problem even with class4 card...
I am using the stock provided Class 2 16GB card with no problems.
I use Auto Task Killer so I have a good amount of RAM available always.
Hi all i'm fairly new to the xda forums but I just recently had a strange occurrence happen on my S4 that I was hoping someone could help me resolve or at the very least explain it to me.
Ok well I have the sprint galaxy s4 with a 32 gb external SD card if i'm not mistaken. Well I enjoy downloading videos and files to my phone instead of using the internet to watch them because I get bad service where I work. So it's much more convenient to just download them beforehand and watch with no buffering.
Well after awhile of doing this I downloaded androzip file manager so i could rearrange my files so I knew exactly what was on my phone. Well as of yesterday my total space on my device was 16GB and my available space was around 7.2gb. My SD card as i said was about 32 or so and my available space was around 14 to 15GB.
Well I went to try to download a 4 and a half long video in high quality and it all of a sudden said that my memory was full. As far as i knw this video was about 4 gb or so...which should have fit on my device or SD card. Well after finding this unfinished download then deleting it I decided to try to free up some space on my phone to hopefully have more room. Well I googled it and alot of people said an app called SHREDroid was the way to go and that it would completely erase files that I had previously deleted so it wouldnt take up unnecessary space on my phone. Well i used it on my internal and external memory and now my storage looks really funny. My available space on my device is somewhat normal at 7.82 GB. But my SD card is just strange. I havent downloaded anything else and it went from that 14 or 15 GB down to 2.82GB.
How in the world could this have happened. I have nothing new in my external card as far as i know. Can anyone please help me with this?
Sorry for the long post i just wanted to be clear and concise. Please feel free to tell me any details i may have left out
Thanks everyone!
Lots of reports of bad SD cards, so that's a real possibility here.
But what I'd do is backup everything on the SD card to a PC. Then I'd format the SD card (Settings>More>Storage - Scroll to the bottom). Then copy everything back onto the card from the PC and see if that fixes it.
Is your sd card formatted to FAT 32?

Hi guys,
I need your help becasue this looks very weird to me. This is my situation: I have a I-9500 (Stock ROM 4.3, no root) with Kingston SD Card 16 GB Class 4. On the SD I keep only my music in one folder, nothing else. Also because I have a lot of music, more than 14 GB, the card is almost full. Sometimes the back of the phone where the SD slot is, becomes to warm up a lot and battery starts to drain very fast. It has happened to me in different situations (and also prior to update to 4.3): once I was indeed listening to music, so using the card, but another time I was taking photos and watching a video saved on the phone. Like I said, I save everything (ecxept music) on the phone.
To solve, I have to either take the card out or format it in the phone. Once I do either of them, the phone cools off and battery drain goes back to normal. Once it even went into a boot loop, before I realized I had to take the card out.
We have 3 options:
1. it's the phone
2. it is something in my music folder (I have photos of the cover albums, which shows up in Gallery... could this be the cause?)
2. it is the SD card brand, capacity, class... I read on many forums about problems with certain brands, even though, if I recall correctly, it affected mostly 64 GB cards...
I want to add I have a Note I-5100 with a Sandisk SD 32GB Class 4 and never had any problem, I want to swap the two, but I know that even if something happens, it will not be immediate and I prefer to have the big one in the note. If I knew changing SD would solve it, I would go for it immediately, but I would like to know what you think first. I have also read Samsung SD cards perform better in Samsung phones. Is this true?
Thank you very much for your help!
I just noticed that many album folders have a file named n7p_art, which is created by the music software (I use stock Samsung Music Player). could this be the cause?
