Songs skip like CD on external SD Card - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=63405&vpn=PSF32GMCSDHC10&manufacture=Patriot&promoid=1360
As the title suggests, some song skip like CD days, I purchased the card above. Its random and happen while driving
Any suggestions?

Could it be as simple as a bad cord, or not plugged in completely, or does this happen through the Phone speaker?

I've read this is happening mostly with high-bitrate files and any-bitrate AAC files. I have no way of confirming this, but if true I'm not interested in this phone anymore.

Playing Video File Issues

Hi All,
I am having issues with playing videos on my X10.
I have used Media Go to convert .avi to .mp4 before and they have worked fine but now I can only get 1 file to work out of 10. I have played the converted files in Mediscape and now they dont want to work.
So......
I have tried several different conversion programs (Smart C, Double Twist and some others I cant remember) and I have also tried a couple of different players as well (Rock Player, YxFlash, Real Player) and nothing works.
YxFlash used to let me play .avi and I believe that Rock Player is supposed to be able to support .avi as well. Now, nothing.
I dont mind converting the files, IF THEY WORK.
There has to be something wrong!!!
Can someone please help me??!!!
Thank you,
So......
Is it possible that it could have something to do with the SD card?
I had got a 32gb SD card, which has been working for storage of everything else, except videos.
I have just put the original 8gb SD card back in and wadda you know? It lets me play video......
Hmmmm...........

If it's too good to be true it probably is. If you paid between £70-£80 it should be alright but depends where you got it from, if you paid half of that or less, well, you get what you pay for.
Thanks X10iUser,
Yeah, thats what I thought
Oh well, lets see how much I can cram onto 8gb

Question about cold effecting phone...

I currently live in Jersey City and I use my phone as my music player. Everytime I walk around outside to the train, stores, or where ever within 5 minutes my media player starts pausing and playing continuously. It stops playing completely most of the time then it comes back on a couple of minutes later. Pandora does the same. As soon as I walk back indoors it works fine. So I figure it has to be the weather. Any one else up north experiencing this??? Its been in the 20's and 30's here. Its really aggravating and I never experienced this before. Any insight would be appreciated

Hmm I live in brooklyn ny and I also use my phone as a music player but I have never experience this. Maybe its your kernel or something, because my phone would freeze very often when I step out side while on am OC uv kernel but now im back on stock and its all good.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm in nacogdoches, Tx right now and its about 20 degrees...haven't had that problem yet...may wanna re-flash your ROM if the problem continues
What about your sd card? Could the sd card quality be an issue? My media player starts studdering after a few minutes, and I thought it was because I bought the cheapest sd card.
I have a Sandisk 8gb sd card and I'm running stock voodoo kernel. I think its odd though that i have no problems once so ever indoors its only when I'm outside as stated in my previous post. I'm going to move all my music off the external into the internal to see if that helps. Maybe the external sd card is getting too cold and causing it to do that, but why would pandora do that also
Are you using a bluetooth headset our a wired one? I get the skipping with the bt headset.

[Q] Play music from SD Card through USB

I have watched the noob video and looked through every similar post I could find with no success so here is my situation.
I have been an android user for all of a week. I gave my iphone 4 up for an atrix because I wanted the freedom. I have it rooted and unlocked thanks to you wonderful people on XDA and now I'm running the cm7 beta.
I have a pioneer 3200bt in my car and I have always plugged my iphone into the usb port and played music that way. I can't get it to work with my atrix. I have tried no external sd card, external sd card, mounting it for memory card use, usb debugging mode, no usb debugging, un/checking the "use internal memory" in cm7. With every try I get the same "Unplayable File" on my head unit. I thought it would just mount the sd card as mass storage and I would be on my way but its not that easy.
If I take the sd card out an plug it into my stereo it works fine I can play all the music on it. Using that way is fine but my phone won't be charging. The headphone jack would work too but analog sounds blah. I'm prepared to blame it on my head unit if I have to.
Does anyone have any ideas? Apps, mods, hardware? I greatly appreciate your thoughts and responses.
Besides the obvius answer of saving a little battery, why not get rid of the cords and use the bluetooth? The audio qaulity on my Pioneer xxxbt sounded great over bt (I clunkered my old car and bought a new one that I dont want a custom deck in). And I had two 12s, the quality was >= a 3.5mm.
Thanks for the response. I'd like to be able to do that too. I didn't realize the 3200bt was ghetto and only supported phone calls over bluetooth and not that A2DP.
Watch out if you are planning on streaming music or pod casts while using Bluetooth for audio. I was just served a notice about my Illegal tethering from ATT. I do not use tethering but they told me if I am streaming music through a Bluetooth device, it is considered tethering and they will add the plan automatically. I had been on the phone with them for over an hour about this and they have concluded that streaming anything ( music, pod cast or video) using your phones built in Bluetooth is considered tethering. I too have been listening to my music through my car stereo via Bluetooth and have recently received the notice because of my use of Pandora while doing so. Just trying to help.
I would love to be able to use the USB that my car stereo has also, so if anyone finds out how that would be awsome

Hopefully I'm not too late to the party on this thread... First things first... I am running CM7 Ba2TF and am having a similar issue. Thanks for mentioning the various options you've tried, will save me from messing with it in my car.
There may be hope, though. When I mount the drive, I actually do get access to mp3s, yet they are on the ones on my internal memory card and not my external card like I am used to. I didn't see this particular quirk mentioned in your post so if you haven't tried that, it's certainly better than nothing.
If it's super duper important, I haven't had any issues with external SD card mounting in my car whenever I had a stock based rom, namely darkside and alien.
I have been googling around a bit on this and it looks like it might just be a rom issue. They can't all be perfect, I suppose, but try putting them on your internal card and see how that mounts.

[Q] UK Razr owners a question for you

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.

LG V60 (AT&T) Music Issues

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.
