lags? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys ever since I placed my class 10 64gb SD card phone became slow and very laggy heck it even kills touchwiz when I exit any app!
I know my SD card is the issue because when I unmount it, phone is fast and snappy again.
I know all apps store their data on SD card in marshmallow but I don't want to root to fix it.
So any cheap good micro SD card to buy? I got my sight on Samsung Evo but did anybody try it?

Driving me nuts! SD card issie

I'm on Verizon 4.3
All of a sudden, a few apps are acting up. Es file, cam scan, zedge, and hanging with friends.
I had them on my SD card, but they no longer work, unless I put them on the main memory. Not sure if my SD card just got corrupted, or if the new updates of these apps are screwing with SD card bc of kit cat programming?

Sd card sounds like it's going bad. Try the Sd on another device.

I notice it's newly updated apps. Could it have something to do with the apps updating to some kit Kat coding? I know in kit Kat apps to sd card is bonky

I have the same exact issue and was going crazy for weeks. I also bet that you can delete files, pics, vids, etc, off your memory card and after rebooting they magically reappear. Are you by chance using a 64Gb class 10 card? From what I've found out on here these cards randomly get locked. It's supposedly a Samsung issue that they are aware of and working on some kind of fix for. I know SanDisk will replace the card but who wants the same card when you know it's just a matter of time before it magically gets locked again? I read about one person on here who is on his third SanDisk card.
I've been noticing with Pocket Casts that downloaded pods would just stop playing in the middle and disappear from my queue like I've played the entire podcast. And I do have a 64gb class 10 card.

Try
Take your scdard, make a folder on your desktop and put all the files in it, Google a SD card formatter and reformat it, that should do it.

I've read on here that many have tried to reformat them in many ways with no luck but thanks for trying to help, I really do appreciate it. I luckily didn't have much on my card and have read that the SanDisk Ultra Cards are nothing but a headache with them randomly and magically becoming locked so the easiest and best thing for me to do is just buy a new card.

[Q]App package helper crash

So I just got a note 4 (ATT 5.0.1)today and my phone is seemingly unable to move larger apps to the SD card. Apps like Fractal and Adventure time Card wars which are huge like to install to the SD but during install the app package helper crashes. Nothing else seems to be an issue and this SD card was fine in the last phone. Even reformatted the SD card. Is it dying or could it be something else? Nothing else seems to have an issue with the SD card. I can download stuff to it just fine that are largish. Music and all media works fine as well.
SD card is a class 4 sandisk 32gb. Checks out as real and has been FULL erased as well in the past. Might buy another SD card anyway or just dismount when installing apps to use it purely for media. But just curious about this happening.

First impressions horrible. Second impressions, love it.

Had the Priv for a few days. I set it up with a 128gb memory card formatted as extended memory.
It was HORRIBLE. So laggy.. Facebook for example kept freezing so badly that android wanted to close it every few minutes. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. ?. I was going to return it.
I noticed that apps took ages to install. Like 5 minutes and more.
I reformatted as external media, reduced the animation times, and now it flies! Not as quick as my Huawei P9, but everything else makes up for it. Loving a more normal Android for a start, the P9 was great but they ruined android.
Now I love my Priv. If you have problems, try what i did with the memory card.
But i wish it had notifications pop up on the edge, when the screen is off.

Picked up a Priv the other day. I flashed the modified AT&T firmware with international software so no ATT bloat. But the phone is so slow and lags. WHen you state you formatted as external media, how did you do this> And are you referring to the internal storage or the SD card? For some reason my Priv will even recognize my SD card (32gb) I place the SD card in my pc and it sees it no problem. I have formatted the sd card to fat32/exFAT/ntfs, etc and no matter the format Priv will not see it....
The issue you're having is that you are not formatting the SD card correctly. That particular memory card that you are using was previously formatted as internal storage on another device and is encrypted. It's a fairly simple process through command line. A quick Google search will help you out. If you can't find, let me know and I'll pull it for you.

I factory reset the Priv with a new card inserted. I honestly can't remember the exact procedure, but I'm pretty sure it asked me how I wanted to use it. Either as external media, or to extend the internal memory (So it all appears as internal memory, and encrypted)
For me, the best solution was to use it as external memory.

SD card slowdown

Anyone noticed the phone slowing down after inserting micro SD card? I had Transcend 300X 32GB and tried to format it as internal but the process was going on for about 30 minutes showing 20%, after that phone suddenly rebooted by itself leaving me with unusable micro SD card which none of my devices recognizes no more. I used the phone this morning without micro SD card and it was more "lively" and snappy. Later bought Transcend 300S Silver series declared to 95Mb /s reading speed as the Nokia itself recommends cards with reading speed above 80Mb/s for non laggy experience. But I can still see some lagging, while opening gallery, playing videos, etc. Anyone else has the same issue?

Yes, having same issue. Having 16GB internal, its need of the day, so patient on slowing down.

SD card slowing my phone?

I noticed when using "selective focus" in Camera app that phone freezes for about 10 sec. Also when I am using Gallery app, phone freezes when I try to delete picture. Note that I set Camera to store pictures in SD card.
And now phone is not recognizing SD card at all.
My question is, if it is possible that SD card is causing my phone to freeze and if someone had similar problem to please tell me how you fix it?

We had this issue a while back on LG. Yes if you have a substandard card.
Moving apps and photos and such to a slower substandard card can cause lags in the system believe it or not

Thanks for reply, now that my SD card is dead, after removing it from phone, my s8 works perfectly.
A question mr/mrs Mad Scientist: do you use micro SD card on your phone and what class is it?
Also what are your thoughts on SD cards, now that we have phones with bigger storage?

I did i got a samsung Evo 128 GB class 10 never had any issues out of it.Also had a 32 gb evo before this
I recently came into a jailboken PS Vita So I installed the SD card on it for all my games and no lags their either
But about 45 gb free Im a stickler for free space so I go my bare minimum music i listen too many apps
and what ever else and got like 35 gb free so No issues there
I even use it for download as its fater than my pc normally then just transfer what ever and delete
Most of my photos are backed up on google so no worrys there
So with the increased storage even at a 64 gb model Is more than plenty for my day to day life If it ever runs low Im sure I can clean enough up
But in the past slower or dying cards and such take time to read write if you have moved a bunch of active apps to sd that gets compounded and bottle-necked on read/write speeds Specialy when it comes to videos and big files or games
