I just copied about 7gigs of mp3 files to my 16gig microsdhc for my x10 Mini Pro
U20i, and it's become slow and laggy. It reboots when I try to start an app or
do anything "too demanding".
The phone is new and was rooted correctly with z4root 1.3.0 and I haven't flashed any roms to it or anything drastic.
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it!
BTW it's a class 10 card (though I have my doubts at this stage). I've noticed from a facebook link that other people seem to be blaming Sony Ericsson for similar problems...
Factory reset then leave your phone to recompile media database before attempting to use it, if this fails i suggest looking into custom roms since there are usually speed increases of around 48 ~ 49 %

hmm...
we've done similar things.. I wouldn't blame the card or the fact that you've copied 7Gigs of music though...
One thing i've noticed, is that straight after copying new things android indexes all the files, so after a hefty amount.. it will take quite a while.
I have noticed with my X10MiniPro recently, that it's a bit slow and buggy... though that's probably with my setup:
- Apps2SD with davlik cache on SD Card
- Gingerbread ROM
- JIT
and a shed load of apps i don't need but i have the space on SD so why not?
should hopefully be making my own ROM when i figure out how to get Cygwin working. And hopefully that rom will have updates and stuff until my contract ends, so about october next year..
Thanks guys I already figured it out I think. It seems that android does indeed index files synced to the sd. After a few reboots I opened Camera, and it said something like "processing media" or something...strange lol. But it's fine for now And good look with your rom, maclarenvj

Hey everyone-
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem before, but I've been trying to transfer a fairly large amount of music to my Vibrant from my pc lately and I keep getting error messages whenever I attempt any transfers, even ones less than maybe a 1.5 gigs. Whenever I attempt to do this the transfers stop about halfway through the process. And I've tried flashing a couple different roms and that hasn't helped, and I've obviously made sure I have enough free space on my internal SD beforehand. Any ideas?
-thanks, bobofosho123
Yea tried 8gb and didn't work
So just try 2gb at a time

There are two reasons for that.
First, some roms have a problem with that, there is a fix in dev section if you are using Froyo
Another problem could be (it did happen to me) that there are certain symbols on songs titles that Android won't recognize creating an error
If it always fails in certain file or folder, try renaming it osr skipping it and see what happens
Thanks for the help guys, I figured it out. I was able to transfer all 11 gigs of my music to my Vib without a hitch, thnx.
Does anyone know how to get around the limit of installing no more than 123 apps to SD? I have a Samsung Epic. I can install more than that to SD but when I reboot my phone doesn't see the apps on the SD card and it slows down and becomes unusable. I know I can move some to the phone, but I don't want to do that. I have tried different Froyo and Gingerbread roms. Is there any way to up the limit past 123? Thanks.
I can honestly say that I do not have this issue.
I have an Epic 4G Touch, and currently have 202 apps on my SD card with no issues.
I am currently running the Stock ROM.
Are you on Gingerbread? Is your phone rooted? I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps.
Running GB, 2.3.4
Rooted
I also use TB, but everything on there now is a fresh install.
Feel free to use me to help narrow down some of the possibilities for why yours isn't working...
I'm also using GB, Rooted and I use Titanium. What do you mean everything on there is a fresh install? You didn't use Titanium to restore it?
I've tried different SD cards to no avail. I've tried having different roms, kernels and modems to no avail. As soon as i put app # 124 on my card (doesn't matter what app it is), and then I reboot my device, my phone then becomes unusable in the GUI.

When I say everything on is a fresh install, I mean that I'm re-downloading and installing everything in very small batches, rather than using what I had backed up. After I get something down, and verify that it is working, I back it up.
The reason for this is that I kept getting my phone stuck in a bootloop, and couldn't figure out what was causing it. So I decided that it was almost as easy to re-download everything as it was to restore from backup, since I was pretty much doing it all one app at a time.
AppBrain has made that easier than I expected, though it hasn't relieved any of the tedium.
This may be an absurd question, but after you have broken the 123 barrier and rebooted, have you let your phone sit undisturbed for a while so that everything has a chance to catch up?
I know that as the amount of apps on my SD increases, the time from boot until the phone is "usable" increases as well. I've gotten around this by using Tasker to reboot the phone about fifteen minutes or so before I wake in the morning. That way, no matter if it takes two minutes or ten, it has plenty of time.
Also, have you tried completely busting the 123 barrier? Perhaps jumping straight to 150 or something would make a difference.
Googling for a brief bit only finds a couple of references to there being a limit on the number of apps, but that was supposedly resolved after Froyo.
Yes, I realize it takes a while to discover all the apps on the card after booting. I give it a while and the icons still just stay as a generic SD icon. If I go into Manage Applications those apps on the card are just the generic icon.
I have about 200 apps. I've restored them all before with Titanium and it still has the same problem. I've searched the web as well and saw that someone said it may be a Froyo limitation, but I've tried different Gingerbread roms and the problem still exists.
I've also tried RFS and EXT and it makes no difference.

Do you have the same problem using different SD cards?

Yes, I bought a new SD card and still have the same problem. Old card was 16GB class 2, new card is 32GB class 4.
I've backed up and restored with MyBackup Pro as well and the same problem exists.

Some ROMs (like Cyanogenmod) let you move apps to the SD after installing on internal. You might try moving an app doing that and see if that breaks your barrier.
Also, try using that SD formatter for windows that Samsung or Panasonic make. A Google search will turn it up.

I would suggest trying a class 10 sd card, but a class 6 should do fine. Also look for a firmware update for your phone as that could be the issue.
I've already tried using the card the way it came, I've formatted with Windows, I've formatted with CWM, I'm not so sure that using SD formatter will make much difference.
I have already tried moving apps to SD with the built-in app to sd functionality and it still causes problems when I get above 123 apps.

I don't have a class 10 sd card sitting around, so I can't try that. Why would the speed of the card affect how many apps can run off it?
What do you mean try a firmware update? I've tried the stock rom, and many custom froyo (ec05) and gb (ei22) roms and the problem still happens.
the faster the card the more bandwidth it has, so it can access more things at any given time.
Small question: Do you really use all of those apps?

Epic 4G Move App to SD card limit
HI
I am experiencing the same problem with my EPIC 4G on a Gingerbread ROM. I have tried multiple times with different kernels to work with more than 150 apps on the SD card.
They all move over fine, but on the first reboot the phone fails to find them and goes in to a reproducible loop where it starts up, works very slowly for 2 minutes, then gives a haptic feedback buzz as it reboots, over and over for days.
I know the limit is between 84 and 150 apps on the SD card because I have a working backup image with 84 apps moved over. My experience has been that around the 120+ mark, it just goes very bad very quickly.
If you don't mind my asking, how do you know the limit is 123?

I have been running CM7 since the first pre-beta release as my daily driver, this problem has always existed and I am beginning to think its either settings or my particular phone. The phone itself, CM7 works quite well, scrolls quick and almost all the stock things work quick.
However, most apps have issues hanging and I have the option of closing the app or waiting. If I choose to wait the app will eventually start working after having to click wait several times. It does not appear to be linked to one app, I do not have many apps installed, however here are some of the apps I have with the issue... facebook, espn score center, words with friends. On occasion the gallery will also have issues.
Here is more information about my phone and what I have tried.
Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-ba2tF-Olympus
Kernel: 2.6.32.39-mb860-cm7-g54722f1
baseband: N_01.97.00R
I have tried clearing cache, data, etc. Reinstalling. Removing and readding apps. I tried sd speed increase with little or no improvement. I thought that maybe where the apps are installed is an issue, however do not exactly understand where the storage is as my external sd card and internal "sd card" appear almost identical with folder structure. (I thought this was odd...)
So my question is, has anybody had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix it? I have searched for weeks trying to find a solution with no success anywhere. I would like to think its something stupid as my phone quadrant scores are around 3700.
Thanks for taking the time to read and any advice!
So, I just want to say that I am legitimately really pissed right now, so sorry if I sound like I'm raging. I was running my flyer on GB when I first got it and the SD card read media fine. I upgraded to HC, and all was well at first. Then, it randomly stopped reading any of my media. I wiped SD, cleared caches, tried actually ALL the ROMs, and every suggestion I could find. I downgraded to GB, and everything worked again. Just upgraded back to HC, and absolutely nothing is read again. I'm on Virtuous right now. I am so angry, as I HATE gingerbread, but since I have a WiFi Flyer, I HAVE to use SD card music. AUGH. I want to punch someone.
Just a suggestion (and don't be angry at me ): try another sdcard, I know yours is working with GB but I found out sometimes a cable or a little piece of hardware can be tricky and behave oddly.
I already tried the SD from my Inc2. No dice. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Too bad, but don't loose hope for Noob's Guide #7
LOL. If I make any more, then I have to make a directory thread, because my sig is like 5 characters away from being full. I can't even write that I have the OG Sammy Gtab.
i was having problems with the HTC gallery app on my wifi flyer after HC upgrade. Installed the stock HC gallery, and havent had an issue since.
I use mVideo player too, and that always finds things on my SD card straight away.
In regards to music, try the PlayerPro free trial and see if that is any better. I've used it on my S2 for a while now and it's great.
I think the issue is to do with the way the HTC apps interact with the storage. Its like it has the index of the SD card set to refresh only on a certain action, but I'm as yet to discover what that is.
Also, try running the flyer without the 'fast boot' mode on in power settings.
I never use fastboot mode. I have been mounting and unmounting as well as rebooting and have been rewarded with nothing but Media force closes.
Hey AgalychnisCallidryas
Off-topic, to change your mood
I found this, I think you need another avatar http://abowman.com/google-modules/tree-frog/#gadgetSWF
I have already experienced a similar issue using HC ROMs ( Stock/Cooked ), and it was one of the main reasons I reverted back to GB ROMs, see me post HERE and HERE.
a member mentioned a solution HERE, but I haven't tried it...
i can confirm the above fix works for the HTC stock apps.
Yeah, well, I already had seen and tried that, and no dice. Thanks for the help though. I really want to use stock music, but I'm using PowerAmp for now, which seems to work fine.
Hi!
I saw this problem some time ago, but I didn't care about. But up to now the other two Neos, owned by two friends of mine, show the same problem...and friends are a bit angry.
Basically the problem is when you play a video (someone use quickpic, other uses stock gallery) sometimes the player says "Sorry! Can not play video" and comes back to the whole gallery and obviously doesn't play the video. Usually this problem never comes to the first video you play, the average (through me and friends) is two videos, than crash comes.
I thought it was an issue from the SD Card, maybe the size of the cache in reading/writing, so I increase it from 128KB to 1MB (1024 KB of course), but unfortunately nothing change at all.
Maybe it could be a defect of the SD, but it could not be, because the three Neos showing this problem has three different microSD card. (I have "Mustang" 16GB class 10, one has 8Gb class 4, one has 8GB class 6).
About the three Neos, I have Xperia Pureness build 11 and the other two have JJ's doctor Hybrid rom 3.1, all with root ,cwm and locked bootloader.
Indeed the problem is showing on a Xperia Mini Pro, too. Here is installed "Real ICS Lite r5".
So I'm freaking out because I can not find the origin of the issue! All the phones have been modded by me (there all also an other Mini Pro and a Mini which are not showing this problem), but I didn't much things, just install rom, then deleted sony's bloatware.
Are in the phone memory some missing apps that can generate this problem? We deleted stock gallery (with an exception above) and use qickpic instead.
If I format the SD the error doesn't come for a while, then after few weeks (and photos and videos) here it comes again.
Thanks in advance
Use MXPlayer, I have the same problem, but it's easy to get past it.
Did you used Quickpic in the past, too?
I mean is possible that quickpic installed in the phone is the origin of the issue still not using quickpic?
just to know
Try to go to stock rom and check ..before trying use bsplayer
try to use low memory sd card. .like 2gig
if you 3 uninstall the 3 apk's most probably that was the problem
i have encounter the same problem then i found out the file that im trying to play is only corrupted.
kindly hit tnx if i helped. . ^_^
I'm trying "Gallery ICS" and it seems to work without error after uninstalling quickpic. Now it's time to verfy on the other phones...
I hope it works, it was too easy
I faced the same issue on the .431 and .431 based roms, now im using the .587 update for MT15a and now its gone
