[Q] Music keeps skiping like a bad CD - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there, for a while there I had the 4.1.2 OS and everything was just fine.
that untill I started upgreading my OS.
when I upgreaded to a stock 4.2.2 everything was OK on my device except the music who kept skipping like a scratched CD...
I tried many different OS (stock and custom) with no luck.
I thought when i'll upgrage to the 4.3 this problem will be solved, but man I was wrong...
I tried fomatting the SD card, removing it and changing it, with no luck so far.
haven't tried downgrading to 4.1.2 only because I believe there should be a solution for this.
also something that might related, but my device somehow ruined my SD card in a way that is no longer writeable and there's no way to format it from the device or from different forms with my PC and I had a DanDisk Ultra 64GB Micro SDCX which I had for only few months.
what can I do? I looked for solutions all over the internet and only found the "format/remount your SD card" which clearly dosn't work for me.
thatnks in advanced!

If the card won't format using the sd tool on pc then it is faulty, contact the seller for warranty replacement.

thanks for the reply about my SD card, but I already knew that and its not the issue here.
im using a different SD card which works, and the problem is somewhere in my device.

low quality sd cards sometimes make this kind of problems. i've almost same issue with 64 gb chine based no brand card.

are you saying that my SanDisk SD card is a low quality brand...?
and why do people seem to insist to focus on what's obviosly not the the matter.
I don't care about my faulty SD card, its my GS3 that dosn't function correctly that butters me...

Dude, I don't understand anything... Are you using Google Translate?
Until in 2 weeks wat??
It might be some app that may cause that like a call recorder or full screen caller id. So be appropriate.

Just format the phone with KDZ and use open europe room with froyo 2.2.2.
Worked for me after bricking the phone with LG software crap.
Dude, kdz is dangerous, it should be used as a last resort. Try master reset first.

Hello, and rebooted to factory defaults.
I read online that can be for the microSD card that comes with the phone.
I thought LG software update version v10B to the new version V10r.

I am having quite hard time trying to understand your English. What is your problem exactly?
- the phone DOES turn off when NOT wanted
or
- you CANNOT turn off the phone when it IS wanted?
aaa .. jjaja. Sorry, sorry.
The problem is that the phone is turned off suddenly 3 times. To switch I have to remove the battery and putting it back.

I recommend for you update the firmware version V10b to V10r?
I've also noticed since I removed the sd card the phone is not turned off.
If you are using the original SD card supplied with the phone, those are pure junk... Would highly recommend replacing it with something decent in any case.
As for the ROM upgrade - yeah some SD card issues have been sorted out this way, worth a try.

It may be the reason why the phone has been off three times?
I read internet that many people have passed, but no one provides the solution.

I upgraded the firmware to version v10r, and updated the OS to 2.2.1.
Of time without changing the sd card, I have no problems unmount the SD and so far has not shut down again.
I Face kinda same problem, Phone suddenly switches off and turn back on itself, and sd card is not read. I have to remove sd card and put it back to make it work, what might be the problem ?
Maybe fault in phone hardware...

Do as I do. Try to spend a few days without the sd card in the phone, if you do not have that problem, it can be on the card.
You can also upgrade to the latest firmware from LG

Issues with my SD card

Hello all,
I've bought 8GB SD card and used it on my mini pro, I faced some issues like:
1. Alot of programs suddenly crash
2. Wireless connection gets dissconeccted automaticlly
3. The whole Android software get crashed and the screen goes into black, then this can't be solved if I didn't remove battary and reinsert it.
I Tried to check the SD card for bad sectors and problems but there were nothing.
Any Solution?
NOTE: I have another SD card (2GB) and it dosen't make any problem when in use.
If you remove the card the problems persist?

It happen to once with my cheap 4gb card when i paired with nokia n82.. Till now i don't know why the phone keep refusing to recognize the card. The irony is, the "rejected card" works normally on my current phone "sk17". it left me scratching my head.
If you can return it, return it. If its not worth it, just get a new one. Basically, you have done everything on you end, so its definitely the card's fault.

Check for SD card class,its written on SD card.If its less than Class 6 then you should buy SD card with class 6 or higher.
Second you should not place large files like multiple blueray pictures or multiple songs in single folder.And last you can speed up SD Card read,write speed by using SD booster of Root tool box pro app to make your SD card faster.
I thing class is not so important. I now using few year old 16 gb card class 2 without any problem
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
Weird but I have no reason not to believe you.At least you know that the problem is the card,so either return it and get a new one or buy a 16Gb instead.They re already pretty cheap! Opt for a class 6+!

Why should I avoid putting multiple songs in one folder? I have put like that and my sd works fine eh??
and the other thing if you had apps in the other sd which was 2gb and u put the 8gb one without transferring them to the 8gb card the apps should not work. Android system failure sould be a problem of memory management. Check whether you had filled ur card.
and yea I think the best solution for u if u have tried every thing, return the card

[Q] 64GB Micro SD card issues

Ok, after buying a cheap and corrupted 64gb micro sd card, I went and spent the money on a 64gb sandisk card. It works just fine. Now, I am rooted and have synergy rom build 104 which is also running fine. I noticed before I flashed the rom that cwm wouldn't recognize my external sd card. I read up on that and found that cwm won't read cards formatted to exfat. So, I formatted the card to fat32 and remounted, transferred all my music back onto the card. Everything worked just fine until I plugged my phone into my computer. I was able to open and navigate through the files like normal, except when I went to open the music folder where all my mp3s were. I tried this on 2 different computers and on both the computer froze with the sand timer. The phone itself was fine, my music player(poweramp) was and is able to play the files with no issue. Also, when I unmounted the card and put it into a card reader and then connected the card reader to my computer and voila! Everything was fine, I was able to open the music folder and scan through the music files. I am not sure what the issue is. Can anyone shed some light as to whether this is a phone/rom issue, a micro sd card issue, an mp3 issue? Any ideas would be appreciated.
That sounds like a bad sd card. Have you ran a checkdisk on it?

Hm, been searching around for this exact issue. Coworkers S4 with this exact SD card has been getting the removed unexpectedly error. Reformatted a few times, restarted phone, error comes back. It's in my Note 2 at the moment for troubleshooting, and so far so good, but this makes me move more toward an actual SD card issue in combination with the s4, and not the phone itself.

The SanDisk issue only affects the Galaxy S3/S4 as they told me. My other 64gb Sandisk card works just fine in my tablet.

I called them and they are going to exchange it out for me. The weird thing is that I didn't get any damaged card error messages on the phone itself. It mounted it as soon as I popped it in. Even after formatting to fat32, it mounted right away with no issues. It only happened a couple days after I transferred all my music onto it. Is the free replacement they give you a newer card or newer model number?
+1 to the above. SanDisk told me they have a new version of the 64gig card with updated firmware, specifically for the S4. Package tracking shows mine is to be delivered on Monday.

They told me that too. My guess is it's due to the mass recall of the chips for the S3/S4. They said it's not present in Tablets so my 64GB in my tablet would be fine.
+1 problem with Sandisk 64Gb UH-1 card. Unexpected removal error. I am writing just for statistics. Just got my new Verizon S4 - and have problems...
FYI - I'm having a similar issue with a Samsung 64GD card. Got it to see the music for a while yesterday but after a reboot it can no longer see it.
Update, I received my new card and just popped it in. My phone automatically formatted it to exFAT. I'm not going to try changing it to FAT32, but is there any version or way I can get cwm to recognize the card in exFAT format? I tried TWRP, but when I flashed a rom it soft bricked the phone so I would like to stick with cwm.

My Sandisk Ultra 16GB (calss 10) is causing me some problems too. It used to work ok in my Galaxy S2 but now it mounts and unmounts without any pattern.
Maybe it's a phone problem then. Done some searching and apparently there was some kind of problem like this on previous Sony devices

I'm not sure yet if it's a phone problem or a card one. I swapped the SanDisk with a low end 2 GB card (the only one I had available) and for now it seems the problem stopped. So I think it's the card but I'll keep watching.
PS: Yesterday I was in a trail running race and I recorded a few videos and taken some pictures. I had my SanDisk inside and camera was set on "save on SD". 3 or 4 times the recording stopped because the card was unmounted/mounted again. I changed the settings to "internal" and the problem stopped.
L.E. In my case, the card seems to be problem. Since swapping it with the low end one I had no more problems.
When i insert 64gb sandisk card then a message appeared 'UI system has been stoped' when i eject the card then system become normal

SD card, read only mode

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem with my SD card. I'm able to see contents of the card however I cannot delete or modify them. I tried formatting card but I'm once again unable to do it. Micro SD is not encrypted, I'm using fingerprint to unlock my phone and have a pin set up as a backup. I also tried wiping contents from twrp to no avail.
I've never put this card into any kind of external card readers. Running Nougat 20a, rooted, with custom recovery of course.
If you have any suggestions please write.

Try pc formatting programs. I remember hp had a good one that was free. If that fails, your card is screwed. They make some cheap quality unfortunately.

This is also a SanDisk, so I'll never buy it again. I tried repairing it with chkdsk /r in windows, tried formatting, found an micro sd adapter and tried toggling the lock switch - TNA. If anyone has any idea feel free to share.

Yeah SanDisk is straight garbage. Go for Samsung and grade 10 on up. Amazon gots good priced 1s. Always cloud backup your stuff. Because even the good 1s eventually die. Mine typically last 1-2 years. I download and delete a lot of stuff more then a normal person would.

I tried EVERYTHING. Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, all report that its read only, and throw errors.
The only good thing is that I can see all of my data. But its pretty much "burned in there", since all six of the cards are now read only...forever. FOR-EV-ER
