Did your phone come with a micro sd card?
If yes what size?
I am awaiting delivery of mine from Dialaphone (just been told they are out of stock) and need to know if I should get myself a shiny new memory card.
Cheers,
Ed
Got mine from Phones4u (yea, despite that retarded "the ring" tv ad) and there was no microSD
Thanks David, as Dialaphone is part of the same group a Phones4 U it looks like I am in need of a new card.
Has anyone found a better deal than this for a class 10 32gb card?

Also how are the headphone?
I am tempted to get these:

In my RAZR box I've found:
1. RAZR (strange, huh? )
2. Moto charger
3. Earphones (external)
4. Some manuals and wasted paper
Nothing else.
I'm actually using a Mustang Class10 32GB MicroSD and my SGS2 in-earphones (they're really good!) and I've also heard that 128GB MicroSD (SDXC) cards are working flawlessly in the RAZR (absolutely normal) but IMHO they cost too much. Who really needs 128GB in a phone?
I'm a dev and 32GB is simply okay.

Yep, can confirm that the UK Razr doesnt come with an SD card.
And the earphones.... id do some research first if you intend to use the remote on that pair that you linked to, ive got a pair of sony in earphones with remote and the Razr does not recognise any button clicks with em, ive tried all the apps i can find and nothing, even the earphones that come with the phone only seem to play and pause music, couldnt get them to FF or RW! The earphones that come in the box arent actually as awful sounding as id imagined (compared to some ive tried) but theres no way i could keep them in my ears for longer than a minute, that crappy foam rubbish thay have irritate the **** out of my ears, not even slightly comfortable.
Utterly baffling why my 19 month old Desire did music related stuff perfectly, yet this phone cant do a simple thing like play/pause/FF/RW via earphone remote.
Other than that i cant fault the phone, really enjoying it!

Many thanks for the conformation of the lack of sd card and the earphone problem. That is bizarre, I don't understand how a standard headphone socket can work for some but not others! Think I will wait until my Razr arrives and than take it work a walk around the Hi-Fi shops.

i bought a sandisk 32g card off amazon to replace my 16g card with the aim of putting more music on it. perhaps foolishly i went from around 2g to 14g of music using media player to sync. although it appeared to work with all filed transfered im having some performance issues.
putting the 5mins it takes to build the library aside, ive noticed that i get choppiness and skipping in tracks. i tried a soft reset which cleared the problem but now im getting the same choppiness in coreplayer.
ive noticed in processes audio manager takes up 20m.
im going to try reverting back to 4g of music to see whether its a sd card issue, otherwise any advice? is it unrealistic to have that amount of music installed (sorry if thats obvious!)
im on a stock rom although i have cht 1.8 installed

If you bought it from Komputerbay on Amazon, most of their 32Gb cards seem to be fakes or poor quality cards.
If you bought it from them, return it for a refund.
I'm looking into buying one on Amazon as well, but when I came across the nightmare stories I eased away from those guys.
what class is the card? class 2 is borderline for HD2 from what I have seen.
i had major problems when i shoved 30G of music to go on holiday, cut back since ive came home but there is a thread here with all the tweeks to make it work. I could leave mine searching all night and it still couldnt play anything.
Was from a company called qtech - I only bought from Amazon as heard about fakes on ebay! Class 2 card. Wasnt sealed though.
On my issues, I tried it again lunchtime and this evening - weird thing is everything seems to be working (music and video). I hadnt done anything to try and fix it, so not sure whats going on (i should have mentioned i was also streamling audio over bluetooth). Im going to keep it as it is to see whether it comes back.
I get the occasional glitch when playing music when something else is going on, but nothing major. Would appreciate others experience of size of audiomanger process so i can compare.
Ive read through many of audio posts here - i already have audio manager in start up. I havent tried the registry tweak (which seems sometimes to stop booting anyway). I also need to check whether I have the latest hotfix applied.
Some ebay sellers are beginning to sell their things on amazon now because of how amazon group things together. It is hard to tell which seller sells fake and which sells genuine. fake memory card is hard to detect unless you try saving things into all 32gb of space. Some fake card will only have 8 or 16gb of actual space...
It seems to have the right memory on it. Interestingly it started stuttering again in sense player this morning and occasionally stopping (suggests memory problem as i didnt do anything?). However, no problems in media player, so i guess its not the card. I did have a problem with one huge playlist which i have subsequently deleted, but doesnt seem to have helped. Official music player hotfix hasnt helped either. Guess i need to either switch player or lose some music...
Has anybody tried the square up Credit Card Reader on this tablet? SquareUp.com?
I can't get it to work, But the sound in my tablet is Screwed up anyway.
Running vegan beta 3 here, unable to get square to work either. G tab recognizes the reader, but it just keeps asking to swipe the card again.

Just an update to anyone curious, I hooked up headphones while running the square app on my phone, and get no audio - doing the same on the g tablet, I hear audio pops constantly. If we can't get square to work on this, we'll be exchanging it for a galaxy tab (which is really too bad, otherwise we love the g tablet!)

It doesn't work for me either, though I'm not really surprised. The kernels we're using on these tablets aren't exactly optimized for the hardware.
You shouldn't have any issues with the Galaxy tablet. Square works great with my Samsung Fascinate.
dumb questions... what do you use "square up" for?
Square is a CreditCard reader that plugs into the headphone jack. It's basically the end of checks! for example - if you are selling something on craigs list you can take a credit card as payment, instead of taking a check that could bounce.
If your kids are running a lemon-aid stand, they could take credit cards! no monthly fees, no start up costs - just 2.8% + 15cents for swiped cards
It's really pretty amazing considering a new credit card machine would normally costs thousands of dollars
Well, since time is running out I think we'll switch to the Galaxy Tab. And yeah, I'm running a Vibrant Galaxy S, and my partner has an Epic - but it's just more convenient to have our customers signing on something bigger than our phones
Yeah, if you have any need for it, Square is great. The card reader just uses audio, so it can (technically) work on anything with a 3.5mm jack, it doesn't even give me access to the credit card information after I've swiped the card (protecting the purchaser). It emails you a receipt if you'd like, which contains a google map of where you made the purchase at.
I hope to be back with another Viewsonic G Tablet at some time though, great piece of hardware, and hands down the best early android tab out there, and viewsonic seems really dedicated to it as well. Despite me having Samsung, they're not the best in keeping up with Android OS updates.

I am trying to load the Square up app on TNT lite but it won't show up in the market. Any idea how I need my device set up to make it appear?
I am not aware of any machine costing that much.
My cc reader / swiper at my busines cost a couple of hundred.
Never mind, did the market fix again and now it works.
Please report back if you can get the reader to work.
I forget the technical explanation for it, but someone on the Square forums explained it while the forums existed (they've since moved or disappeared, I have no idea).
Don't quote me on this, but it seems to be a hardware problem. The Square reader is compatible with phones/devices that have a certain number of conductor rings on a headphone jack (4?), as most commonly audio devices that use the same port have less rings.
I guess the extra ring enables Square to interface properly with their reader, so if the device/phone doesn't have the 4 rings, you'll encounter problems. Their website FAQ under "Is my device supported with Square?" (can't post outside links, sorry) hints at it being hardware compatibility, so those with incompatible hardware will have to either wait till they release an updated reader or some other method.
It needs the mic input in the headphone jack...thats where the input comes from.

Square Up
Square up works on my Motorola Xoom. Its pretty cool bought from Apple store. Paid 9.95. In side the box was a 10.00 gift card. I've used it twice all ready and it's great. they do the Pay-pal thing with making 2 deposits in to your checking account. The app is in the app store got it last night.
Mine works on my Droid X. Hadn't tried on my Gtab, probably will need it tonight though. I had trouble even getting the app until I switched to VeganGinger.
Will post later if it works or not.
Did you get Square Up to run on your G? I can't even get it to load on mine and I can't see it in the android market. What did you have to do to get it to install?
how come i cannt get the lumia to work as a normal usb hard drive?
also if i have a song/mp3 file why cant i set it as a ring tone?
Neither of these features is supported in windows phone. You can get around the ringtone issue with apps but i keep mine on silent so i cant recommend any.
As for the storage issue its one of the prices you pay just like vpn but Microsoft do have a suggestions site you can add you vote to get these added. Personally i don't think they will add mass storage as they want to move more to cloud based but there you go. I wouldn't let it put you off but rather you can buy a usb memory stick for about £15 and then you wont also have to take a usb cable around with you.
wow really thats poor, very poor. so i have a choice of like 20 crappy ring tones only
i use my phone for work to take pictures on and i normally just plug it into the work computer and copy the photos across.
not sure what im going to do now, work are very funny about install phone software onto the laptop
Custom ringtones DO work:
http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2011/06/28/custom-ringtone-support-in-mango-explained/
Or go to the marketplace and grab EasyRing, it has a free trial. I love that app when it comes to ringtones.
Using Windows Phone as an USB HDD is not supported currently!
Kind regards
ok will check and download that one now thanks.
first major issue encounted and i actually had to phone nokia. phone frozen and i couldnt get it to do anthing, even the power button wasnt working.
phone nokia dn you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to do a hard reset of the phone
it would seem that with easyring i cant use existing mp3 already stored on my phone
Does no one look into their 500 dollar devices before they buy them?
$500 or free on upgrade...
Either way, I'd think a power user would be more thorough. Ringtones are easily added via Zune and using it as a flash drive is available to unlocked devices. Windows plones point is simplicity
who said i was a power user?
im a nob user
I remember back in the day must of been about 2001 2002 ish i had a phone that could record your voice and use it as a ring tone. This gave us hours of drunk fun recording ourselves hideing the phone in the sofa and calling it to the confusion of whoever just sat down. Since then though i dont think i have ever got this love for ringtones at all. I think its just me. Either way i didnt mean to give the impression you where stuck with whats on there but rather you just needed to go about it in a different way. That phone also had a scroller on the side it really did rock cant beleive i forget what it was.
done some googleing and think i found it the sony cmd-j6

Is this a USB 2.0?
These new(ish) usb / micro usb flash drives are incredibly handy. I've had a 32 GB Transcend for a few weeks and I was actually just thinking about ordering another one (but I think I'm going to grab this http://www.amazon.com/Leef-microSD-...s&ie=UTF8&qid=1412384512&sr=1-1&keywords=leef instead, because I've got something like four 32 GB micro sd cards that I'm not really using atm). For anyone who hasn't seen these, basically they conform to the WYSIWYG standard: it's a super tiny-ass flash drive with a regular USB connector on one end and a micro usb connector on the other. Most have some kind of cap or cover on one or both ends. For me at least, an always keep it here policy is essential, or it's pretty much immediately lost; the Transcend drive was the smallest I could find which is 1.1 in long, no wider/taller than a usb port, and has a cap over the micro usb side. I often download ROMS and such onto it from my computer for transfer to my phone (or you can even flash files straight from it in TWRP!) I also copy some backups to it (i.e. a copy of my Titanium Backup folder as well as a nandroid or two). The fact that this type of drive exists is seriously the only reason that I'd be able to use a phone that doesn't have an external sd slot (Nexus 6?). In fact, this is my tentative plan if I ever end up getting a device like that: use FolderMount to move huge obb and data files for all large games to the flash drive (FolderMount moves the file and creates a symlink in your local Android folder), then if I want to play a game just plug in the drive and mount the linked folder... I haven't tried this yet, but pretty sure it would work as you can move / link files to wherever you want.
Anyway, just wanted to let people unfamiliar with these drives what they're like, and that I find mine extremely useful. I've seen different brands on sale on Amazon and they're priced pretty reasonably regardless. If you're going to pick one up, I'd just recommend getting one with a small loop so you can attach some kind of string or something (actually attached mine to a string with a headphone port plug on it... not that I carry it around like that, but I could...) I misplaced mine once, and pretty much assumed it had slipped through a slice in the space-time-continuum (did I mention that they're very small?) but fortunately found it about a week later when I moved a big recliner looking for something else.
In conclusion, I highly approve of these drives, and would recommend one to anyone who is in the habit of storing digital files :good:
Oh, BTW, that Sandisk drive in the link is usb 2.0, but there are versions that are usb 3.0. I found this Kingston 3.0 drive on the Amazon page for the Sandisk one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LIXJ0OU/ref=twister_B00MFJ6G20 nice, only $15, and I like that form factor better than that of the Sandisk. Not.... sure... I... can... resist.........
UPDATE (killer deal!: I just threw down an order for that leef adapter I linked to, AND grabbed this guy: Corsair Flash Voyager GO 64GB USB3.0 micro USB OTG Flash Drive for Android devices The listed price was only $33 (& prime) which sounded pretty good to me! However, when I went and checked out... I have no idea why and it doesn't say anything about this on the product page, but below that drive when I checked out it said "promotion applied: -$7.51", so I just scored that sweet 64 GB usb 3 / micro-usb for about $26! So if anyone else is interested in picking up one of those, seems like now's an excellent time to do so, but I'm curious if anyone else picks one up if they get that "promotion" as well (didn't put in a code, didn't say anything about it on the page, so possible that it was just some credit in my account or something, but I really don't think so....) So if you check that out, post back please whether or not you got a surprise $7 off or not, hopefully it applies for everyone!
I believe you must have gotten a credit somehow. I am a prime member and when I went to check out no discount for me. Good find though.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the reply... there's only one way I can think of that I might have earned some credit: you guys know that Amazon finally released a Prime Instant Video app for Android? Yeah, neither did I until I saw an article yesterday... you have to install it via the regular Amazon shopping app... kind of bizarre... Anyway, it's ok (def better than nothing). No chromecast and I think it's only available for certain devices (N3 :good and no tablet version yet (tried sideloading the apk on my Note 8, but it just gave me a message that I need the new tablet version of the (regular, not app store) app, which isn't out yet. Anyway the article said that you could get 100 free credits(?) or something (I never install the Amazon App Store, but I thought those coins / credits / whatevers were only good for apps and such. Anyway, if that's what it is.... wow. That was the most profitable episode of Flight of the Concords that I played on my phone with the volume down while I did something else! Shrug... definitely still a great drive at an excellent price. Just don't lose that sucker!
Really hope they add CCast... Amazon's got a reasonably solid library, which I never use because I'm just not down with watching media in a browser window. Suppose I could cast screen cast the show onto my TV or MHL, but will probably wait till I finish off my own 7 TB ripped media library and every single thing on Netflix first. Maybe I can just straight up cast it by then
Hi everyone and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!
I hate to be one of those people who asks what might be stupid questions without having any technical expertise. But yeah, I'm pretty clueless and have never really gotten into the inner workings of smart phones. I never really required much from phones before, so I've never had any real issues that bugged me. Some setting-up-the-scenario info: Since I started seeing info about this phone, I was really intrigued - mainly because of its music capabilities, which is what supposedly sets it apart from the rest. I read and heard SO many good things about it, and I've never had a portable music player work as well as I thought it should. So I took the plunge without having the disposable cash to actually buy a new one. I got a "renewed" one from the big A, and even though it was advertised as a T-Mobile version (which is the carrier I use), I received the AT&T version. It works fine on T-Mobile so I'm ok with it despite the AT&T software on it. The phone works well and is in great condition. But this issue I'm having is frustrating me, and I don't think it's carrier-specific (though I know the different versions can have different limitations on what can be done with them).
Here is the issue, and some of what I've dealt with in trying to research and solve it... Whether using the headphone jack (with or without enabling the DAC) or using Bluetooth or the phone's built-in speakers, songs will skip, stutter, stop and start over, move on to another song and then go back to the previous song, then stop and play an entirely different song. Sometimes it will just put out a string of noise for a second like it's on super fast-forward at a painfully loud volume. Some songs will never play properly, which could be a corrupt file issue, but others will often be fine and only mess up occasionally. None of them seem to be immune to it. This is a problem I'd say 80-90% of the time.
I have a lot of music, and I have it all on an SD card. It's a recent, higher quality SD (Samsung or the like) that's 128 GB. I prefer it that way since I don't want to fill up the phone's storage space. I've seen some posts online about this kind of issue on other phones, but not much usable info. Searching here didn't bring any results. One person with a different phone found a fix by moving his music app to the SD card as well, but alas that doesn't seem to be possible with this phone as there seems to be no way to change the download location to the SD card and I can't move the app from the phone's location for it. I've seen info (for other phones) about using the phone to reformat the SD card as "internal storage" to bypass that, but this phone only formats an SD card to be usable for multiple devices and not as part of the phone's internal storage. I'm in the process of trying to copy all of the music files to the phone's internal storage to see if that helps, but it's far from ideal for me and it's taking forever. I will update if it makes a difference, but I really don't want to do it this way because I won't have room for anything else. I guess if anything it might clue me in to whether the card itself has problems, but I'm optimistically doubtful about that. And maybe once I have the files copied I can reformat the SD card with the phone again, retransfer the files and see if that helps. Also doubtful but maybe? Also, the phone will only transfer the files using the Google files app - not the LG files app. Kind of odd, but whatever.
Oh, and I don't have the dual screen, so that wouldn't be a factor in this (if it could have been).
My questions then are:
1. Has anyone dealt with or heard about this music playing problem, and have any ideas about fixing it?
2. Does anyone know how to change the download location on this phone to the SD card?
I'm super frustrated because I really want to like this phone, and so far other than having generally better sound and being a little faster and nicer to look at I was almost just as happy with the crappy old cheap Huawei I had before. Any help would be much appreciated!
It seems to be an audio player problem rather than a phone issue. Try black player, it works very well with all the V serie, had it on the V20, have it on my V60. And its one of the best and good lookin' player in theplay store. The basic version is free and is fully fonctionnal so you can try it and if it does not resolve your issue, desintall it.
Thanks for your reply. I'm not having any luck and I'm thinking it's either just a lousy phone despite all the great reviews out there, or maybe the AT&T version is what's lousy. I pulled out the SD card and loaded a bunch of music directly onto the phone and sill have the problem. I tried Black Player (which I like), and the problem happened on the first song I played and has happened quite a bit since then too. The files are a mix of formats, all higher-quality, and format doesn't seem to make a difference on whether the issues arise or not. Don't know what else to do.
