Hi,
I've just tried to transfer my photos/videos from my phone but the video files wont transfer as they are corrupted, I've had partial success by transferring them through wifi to dropbox but when playing the files they have parts missing and stutter. I've tried transferring them through windows 10 and on a mac with similar results.
Strange thing is the videos play fine on the device??
The phone has been encrypted and the videos are in 4k - the memory card was bought from argos so I'm guessing its not a fake, the model was "SanDisk Ultra 80MBs MicroSD Memory Card - 128GB"
Wonder if anyone has any suggestions what could be causing this or how to fix it.
Just an update, I managed to transfer the files to Google drive but it seems to have converted them to HD. Also the files have a few popping sounds on them which could be where the files are corrupted.
I've ordered a better memory card to see if this stops the problem.
Can anyone think how to get the files from the phone as I'd like them even if they have slight sound errora on them - they are family videos.

Found this thread Googling - it's almost an entire year old but thought I'd post anyway
If you can still play the video on your phone all the way through (I just skipped through sections), open the video in the stock editor and export it.
It'll drop the quality a touch, but it's nothing you'll even notice, which will save you some space too.

I have a very weird problem that is bugging me no end! I tried putting some new media files on my xda today various wmv music and video files. Thing is they play ok then all of a sudden the xda freezes and I have to reset it. Then subsequently every file that I've loaded on today will freeze the xda. All others I've loaded on play fine. The only thing I've done since I last loaded any media files on is upgrade the Rom to the version 1.06. I've spent most of the day loading these new files on then having to remove them again I've tried loading them one by one they play fine for a while then all of a sudden the xda freezes then I have to delete them all again. It's really bugging me as to why it is doing this. Any ideas will be appreciated
Hmm just tried to open a picture I saved on my memory card that I transferred over today and that freezes my xda too!
You may have a corrupted SD card...that sounds a bit like a problem I used to have with one of my old ones.
I suggest you remove all your data on the card to a folder on your PC desktop, then format the card again on FAT32. If you don't have a card reader, I would suggest using StorageTools (http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html) or a similar program.
See if that resolves the issue. If not, it may just be the old problem where trying to read too much data from the card causes the phone to i/o error and effectively drops the card.

hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.

Well I bought a 32Gb SD card and excitedly copied my MP3 music collection onto it.
However, playing these on my Windows 7 HTC Shift results in a disappointing playback quality, with 'popping' and 'glitching' occuring about every 6 seconds. It's almost listenable but rather anoying.
My Vista laptop plays the mp3 music fine from the SD cards, the issue is specific to the HTC shift, it's SD card drivers and the SD card slot.
When the MP3 is copied onto the Shifts hard drive, it plays perfectly.
I have tested all 3 of my SD cards, one FAT 4Gb, one FAT32 4Gb, and one NTFS 32Gb, and all of them exhibit the same glitchy MP3 playback on my HTC Shift.
I have tried all players on my shift, Windows media player, itues, and the lightweight VLC. All result in the same poor music playback on my Shift when the MP3 is on the SD card.
So there seems to be a problem with the Shift specifically, with MP3 playback from the SD card slot.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have yet to try other music formats, but I'll write up my findings here.
It's disappointing as I don't want to clog up my Shifts hard drive with music files.
Could any of you shift owners do a quick test to see if an MP3 file plays smoothly from an SD card in your shift?
No problem with my 4gb sdhc.

That's good news. Thanks for taking the time to test that.
Are you running Windows 7?
My device driver reckons the SD driver is up to date.
I'll try installing the SD formatter 3 patch this evening so see if that solves it.
Yes, windows 7. Let us know.
Negative. I installed patch KB976422-x86, rebooted, reformatted the SD card and re-tested. But the same glitchy playback occured.
Hmmm. I'm going to try safe mode or strip down all the services and startup programs to see if any of those is causing it.
Can you try playing with buffering inside the players? Maybe, like when playing big files from the internet on a low bandwith it makes things run not quite so smooth. By the way, what is the bit rate you are using? Playing with the quality of the recording can also have some influence: lower bit rates go smoother through the bus if it is struggling with higher bit rates. I've seen it happening at work with CD/DVD players.
I had high hopes for resolving this problem as I make backup images of my Shifts hard drive from time to time, so I restored an image that was made soon after windows 7 was restored. But the music still played back badly from SD. Even after I uninstalled all unecessary programs and killed unecessary tasks.
So I still haven't resolved this. I had a red herring solution, but it turned out that if I play the SAME mp3 twice, the second play is fine as the file must be cached on my hard drive following the first read.
My next thoughts are with services and the BIOS. My BIOS reads 1.0.0.18.
This is a little surprising as I know the latest HTC released BIOS is 10.0.0.8. I had loaded 1.0.0.8 before when I was Vista, but since installing windows 7 I didn't bother changing the BIOS as I thought it would be independant of the OS and persist. Do Windows 7 installers put the HTC Support BIOS 1.0.0.8 on their shifts?

Thankyou Wovens. These are great points which I hadn't considered. My MP3s are 160kbps. Fairly hight but not excessively so.
Buffering and quality will be by next area of investigation.
UPDATE:
I have had the very same MP3 music playing smoothly now from the SD Card. Amazingly, this was on my restored latest hard drive image which had ALL my programs installed. What's even stranger is that I didn't do anything specifically to get it working. I just left Windows 7 to rest for a good 10 minutes before attempting to play the music. I have suspicions that the OS 'gets busy' doing someing that interferes with the SD card.
I'm getting there... and I'll post my findings which should hopefully conclude with a culprit and a permanent solution.
Heya. I've recently copied a lot of 720p .mkv files on my phone to watch while commuting.
It worked flawlessly with the first file I copied. I was able to pause and play it without any harm done.
When I finished watching the video, I deleted it off my microsd and earlier today I copied two more (at the same time) to my phone.
I found that whenever I paused the video, the sound and video became out of sync when I started playing again. There was a 3-4 second delay between what happened on the screen until the sound came. It's very annoying.
Has anyone else had similar problems? I'm using a Sandisk Mobile Ultra (16gb) card, it's class 2 but considering video playback is flawless if I don't pause it, I don't think the class will matter? My transfer rate with the card is about 7mb/s.
I also noticed that when I paused videos there was a split second delay between when the video paused and when the audio was paused. Maybe this contributes to the syncing problems when I play again?
Did this only happen with the last video you copied? Have you tried it with the one you didn't have trouble watching intially? I haven't found any such problems, but perhaps a reboot of the phone might fix it for you unless the problem is with the file itself.
This has happened to both the second and third file to be copied onto the memory card. And yes, I tried to reboot the phone. I also killed all the running apps with advanced task killer.
Well it could be that the phone doesn't like the codec of the files? Try RockPlayer and see if that gives you the same problem. Also try the original file that you didn't have a problem with perhaps?
Ok so here's the problem...Whenever I try to transfer my music or any other medias from my MediaGo Library to my X10i, the whole system's speed drops signifcantly...After dismounting, I wait for it to autolock...And when I unlock it just goes to a Blank/Black Screen...Then from there on, nothing will happen and just wait for it to drain the battery...I've tried repairing it via PC Companion countless times but still nothing happens...I have to dismount the SD card just to return to normal...So does that mean that transfering/storing medias in my x10 is useless and cannot use it for multimedia purposes??
Never seen such an issue before here in xda try flashing stock 2.1.435 rom and if that doesnt help well im afraid that i wont be able to help you, its surely not an physical issue tho.
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
are you using any rom?
Nope just the official 2.1 update...Tried rooting it via SuperOneClick to have access to the speed of the SD but the rooting didn't work...I tried transferring 354 songs, 700MB worth of videos and 400mb worth of pictures and wait for it to load for 6 hours and it works..But when I add beyond 354 songs, the problem returns even if I wait for it for more than 6 hours...
Your using the 3d gallery correct?
Try get quickpic it's much faster.
Does the same thing happen when transferring files by dragging and dropping to the sd card?
You sure about the capacity of your sd card? I've bought a few fake 1s from ebay that when they get past 2gb full (of 32gb) it starts to cause problems. Search for fake flash/ fake sd cards to find tools to test.

Have a 8gb SD card and with all the 354 songs, 700mb videos, 400mb photos, it would easily consume 4gb worth of space but you have to wait 6 hours though for the phone to return back to normal...But when I add more songs, thats where the problem starts...I tried also deleting all the videos and photos and replace them with songs and add beyond 354 but thats where the problem occurs...
I had the same issue with another phnoe. Your SD card might be dmaged.. try to use another one. there are a lot of softwares to make a low level format an repair. hope it helps.. And try to clean the Micro SD pins with a rubber or isopropilic alcohol
Good luck
