Hello.
just signed up, but have lurked and searched for a while.
I've recently updated my phone to the official ICS update.
And, i regret it. Loved it before, and should have gone with the old saying of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Phone is not rooted, and is on TMOUS.
radio is a pioneer deh-p6000ub
sd card is Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10
I have searched here, and on google trying to find an answer to my problem, but to no avail.
I thought I had found it in the noob question thread, but nope.
Problem: SD card is giving me a lot of issues when plugged into my car radio's usb. I'm going to be as detailed as possible, so may be a bit of a read.
when first plugging it in, the phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in, stereo gives me "N/A USB" plug an unplug a few times and it works.
**already solved this first minor issue, apparently the phone has to be unlocked to register that the usb is plugged in now. wasnt like this in GB, minor inconvenience, but not a big issue.
once i get it connected it will register, and start playing.
then, while playing, it will randomly go silent for a second, then continue. will play at least one song all the way through while periodically going silent, then start the next, and after about 20 to 40 seconds, will just jump to a random song, play about 30 seconds of it, and jump again, rinse, wash, repeat. annoying.
When going through the menu's on the radio, its very slow. it takes about 10 seconds to load each folder name(one folder per line, 3 lines show on the screen at a time.)
Some albums will play fine for the most part, maybe just a couple of silent moments (we'll call it skipping.)
some albums are unplayable.
While listening to the music on the headphone jack, it works fine. no issues at all. only issue is that after plugging it into the usb, the phone itself no longer has saved where i stopped playing music previously through the headphones. always did before.
Probably related is the issues with the gallery. after being plugged into the usb and then disconnected, the gallery takes forever to load and be useable. cant access pictures or videos on the sd card for at least 30min to an hour. can take new pics and view them with no problem, but cant see the old ones. i can go through root explorer and access the pics on the sd card that way, but not the galler.
I have no need for a custom rom, i dont do enough fun stuff bc i dont have time. and the majority of what i use my phone for right now is music. and i cant use it for that bc of the usb issue. stock rom does everything i need it to at the moment.
What i have tried:
different cables.
I put the sd card into an old motorola droid i had thats still on GB and tried it on the car radio and it worked perfectly. no issues.
i did a factory reset to the sensation
i cleared the media app cache
did a soft reset.
deleted and completely loaded a fresh copy of the album that has given the most issue, changed nothing (was hoping that maybe that particular file was corrupt)
took the sd card out and reformatted it (the suggestion on the noob thread for slow sd card issues.)
tonight, i hooked it up to a completely different usb radio (dont know what brand, etc, it was) and it gave the same issues.
one difference was that after playing a song all the way through, it disconnected from the usb. and the phone showed that it was connected charge only, not disk drive.
this card is extremely slow on this phone, and i cant figure out why. been searching for over a week now.
i beg of you, help me before i break it. lol. i hate singing along to my favorite tunes at the top of my lungs in my car, and then the song cut off and having to hear how awful i sound.

While I am not sure how to help you with your USB music issues, I can help you get back to ginger bread if you like once you have s-off on your phone you could simply flash the firmware and ruu of your choice to have a stock ginger bread sense rom but, before we try that have you tried to clear the data from the gallery apk to see if it makes a difference? Also do you have USB debugging enabled? It sounds like your rom is having issues with mounting the sdcard efficiently. Do you have any apps that maybe trying to access the sdcard while it is unmounted, thus causing an issue?

I would suggest a simple solution of ruu... It installs fresh copy if ics.. But at the cost of losing phone data... It won't touch the sdcard though...

just cleared the gallery cache. USB debugging is not enabled, I enabled it for a couple days and it didn't make any difference.
no apps installed that should have any effect on sd card. running on bare min right now, less crap I'll have to reload after continuously resetting and deleting.
will save going back to gb as the last resort. would really like to enjoy ics, just this one issue I'm having.

will prob try this soon, at least before reverting back to gb.
one more thing I forgot to put in the first post:
the sd card is not encrypted as far as I know. and the encrypted sd card option is not selected in the storage menu. not sure if this has any bearing on anything, just thought I'd post it up just in case.
Well at this point a ruu would be the vest man for the job. Do you need a link to one or do you have one? If you need what's your network?

guess i will be needing a link please.
was hoping to be able to avoid doing anything additional like that.
seems im the only one having this kind of issue though, cant find anybody else with it.
oh well, guess thats how it goes.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid OK here is a link to all the ruus I can find for the htc sensation. And here http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...0U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.zip
Is the most up to date tmobus ruu that I can see. Make a backup of everything you can like text messages, ect. Anything on your sdcard will be safe. Once you ha e done that plug your phone Into the PC/laptop and run the ruu. It will flash the phone with the stock tmobus ics rom. And hopefully fix your issues good luck
Usual disclaimers apply, if you phone explodes, starts a revolution, Marrys a dog or leaves you late for work its on your head what you flash onto your phone is your call.

Hello,
Almost a year ago I purchased my Kaiser (an Orange Kaiser) ans started to flash my phone.
I have already used several ROM avaiable here: Dutty (sevearl versions), L26 (SEVERAL Versions), Hyperdragon, Mobile vista, etc, etc, etc. Have already tryed several versions of the Radio firmwares. 1.24, 1.57. etc. Also, have already tried almost EVERY Hard SPL avaiable and so far I had the same problem:
Few days after flashing the Kaiser starts do slow down its performence. For ex: I press the Call button and it takes 40 to 50 seconds to enter in the touchpad screen. Sometimes it don't even enter the the call screen.
It get worst: sometimes I get no signam from the phone even if i'm side by side to a antena (where any other phone have a strong signal).
The only solution: HARD RESET. I mean, after a hard reset it looks like its other phone. Strong signal, fast response.
I can't possible imagine that I'm the only one here with this kind of problem. Does anyone knows how to solve? Does anyone here knows ehy it happens?
PS: I have already tried configurations with diferent programs. I have already tried with and without S2L2, With or without HTC Home (most without), With and without pocket launcher, with and without today agenda and SPB calendar. Can only think that this is problem with something in the ROM or the radio since every single configuration had the same performance issues.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I had a faulty SD card that was giving me similar problems to this. I think it was due to Coreplayer and Audio Manager scanning the faulty SD card for music and the read speed was really really slow on the card. Everything would grind to a halt. I bought a new card and everything was fine after that. You could also try formatting or removing the SD card to eliminate the card being the source of the issue.... but you'll probably turn around a say you don't have an SD card
Good luck...
Yeah recently I got this issue. The filesystem on my SD card for corrupt somehow, and I was unable to access anything on it via activesync (my pc) and my phone.
So I just installed some prob( i forget the name) and formatted the SD card, then re-flashed. And since then it's been quick as can be
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well. I have not found it to be my storage card as i have tried 4 different cards. i have put the cards on my BJII and it works without issues. I also have found that with some of my early L26 Flashes i would just ride it out and it would work again.
However i have not had my HDIII Pro for that long but i'm hoping that it would would do the same.
If someone does find a link to what is really going on i would greatly appreciate the advice.
Thanks
Also, I actually believe if you text message a lot (i mean basically excessivly) as my brother does, the device will slow down.
He has my older Hermes, and he has unlimited texting, but within 2 weeks he would have sent 1500-2000 text messages and recieved about the same ammount.
By that time his phone would start lagging and being a pain, so I would usually just do a new flash (or hard reset), since deleting that many texts normally would probably take 48 hours haha.
Anyway when it gets re-flashed everything runs normal and fine. But whenever the phone gets cleared everything is smooth again
So maybe it's the amount of text/emails you have? Idk
Going to test the SD card. I have a 4Gb SD card but I'm actually only using 1,4 Gb, so I can use a 2Gb with no problem.
This going to take a while since the phone starts to slow down after three or four days, but I'll let you guys know if it solved.
Thanks!!!!

If you have a vista based machine, It will correct the filesystem errors automatically, and you wont have to reformat...
Works great for me, My desktop is VU64, and my lappy is MCE2005. All the flashing happens on the laptop, and transferring files to the SD (Music & Movies) via WMP happens on the desktop.
Idem
I have same problem.
I try to found confirmation in italian dedicated forum , nobody has had the same problem.
After any minutes where the kaiser freeze , i do not have the same problem.
As is autoconfigured.
Now i used selfmade rom (by official italian rom, and hardSPL 3.29).
Sorry for my bad english
So I've been having this issue for about a week now. All the apps installed on my phones SD card once I reboot are not loading up. I know the data is still there because the first time that it happened I spent the better part of day freaking out thinking everything was gone gone. At some point I thought of checking of the data by plugging in into the computer. Turns out (1) all the apps miraculously return (2) I can't mount the SD card anymore (3) I can't unmount the SD card anymore either.
What is the deal? It's kind of annoying to lost everything every time you reboot. I'm not really in the mood to tether my phone each time for the unforeseeable future just to keep everything loaded. Has this happened to anyone before? What should I do?

What do you mean, the icons? I'm going to assume that's what you're referring to, for this reply...
If that's what you meant, icons on the home screen take a few seconds to get themselves drawn, if apps are on SD.
You can switch to a different skin then switch back to your original skin, to get them to redraw. Or delete/reposition them one at a time. It's a workaround, but changing the skin temporarily is faster.
It's a sense bug, I'm pretty sure.
Doesn't happen if apps are installed on the phones internal storage, so until they fix it, move your apps onto internal storage, if you don't want to deal with this each time you reboot. They run faster if they're not on your SD anyway.
Unless you have waaaay more apps than you really need, of course.
Sorry should've been a little more specific. The shortcuts on my home screen are all no longer working and I'm well aware of how long it takes for sense to load them up on startup but even when I go to display all apps it only displays the apps on internal storage. In fact each and every app on the card (in the apps settings) has a funny icon that has a little "sd" on it now and just says computing and will not load.
And since writing this I can no longer get the phone to load any apps from the sd card by tethering it to the computer. It's still accessible - just downloaded today's song from amazon and played it - but apps on it are almost like they're gone.
This happens to me sometimes too. But usually when it happens to me I can go into Settings - Applications - Manage Applications and move the troublesome app to internal storage, and then it's fine. It never completely disappears.
It might do you some good to reformat your SD card. Move everything off of it first, then format it, then put everything back on.
Is it the stock 8GB SD card, or a different one?

Yup.
@homeslice976 copied, formatted (made sure it was FAT32), copied everything back and no dice. Same symptoms, Apps will not load.
@zuriken I don't know why you asked about the stock SD card or not, do you think it needs to be replaced? It's only been since February.

full format, chkdsk /f, still nothing though. This is honestly getting to the point where I'm tempted to switch to another phone. Why can't I access my stuff?
Another new bonus, every time I get some sort of alert it now plays random MP3s from the SD card. What is going on...

I'd try a brand new, good quality SD card before resorting to switching phones.
Have you flashed any custom roms or anything? I didn't see you mention either way.

It's gonna be a little while until I can try a new SD card but I'll get back to you.
The only ROM I loaded was the one to originally root that removed the uploading cap from ATT.
I also solved where the random sounds were coming from apparently it doesn't want to play my selected theme and no matter what I do the only one that works is the original HTC default 2010 one or if I download any only the Celesta theme plays... I have a sinking feeling that copying all this funky data isn't going to resolve anything but I'll give it a go.

Since you haven't been messing with multiple roms and such, I don't know what else it could be, other than the SD card taking a dump.
Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my phone, i've researched everywhere but it seems that no one is experiencing the issue as me, or at least I couldnt find anybody.
The thing is that one day after syncing my phone, when I unmounted the sd card(in the correct way) and I inserted it in the phone, the phone started to freeze everytime I locked it, once I locked the phone it became unresponsie, everytime. I can turn on the display but it doesnt respond to touch, the digital buttons either. However, if I get a notification it does show up in the display, so the phone its not dead.
This behavior happens with every card I have, ive tried with 3 different cards and everytime I sync them to my mac my phone responds this way.
I did a factory reset, I wiped everything and installed different roms but the issue remains. I also formatted the cards several times.
For the phone to work correctly it has to be card-free or with a sd card that has never synced with my computer.
I uploaded a video to make the problem more understandable, Im really desperate so any help will be greatly appreciated,
thank you!!

If the issue only happen AFTER you sync it to your PC that would make me think to look at what files you are syncing and how you are doing it. What are you loading on to your sd card? What class is your SD card as I have seen cards with a class less then 4 can cause issues.
Yes I thought of that, im just syncing music, and its the exact playlist i've been syncing before with this phone. I did a virus scan and nothing. Maybe a file suddenly became corrupted, but there is no warning about that..
I've tried with class 6, class 4 and class 2, all with the same problems..
I forgot to clarify that yesterday I synced the same files and for a while everything worked perfectly, I was able to play my music, etc. But all of a sudden I opened the camera app and the phone freezed, It did this everytime until I removed the card...
I appreciate your help, thanks

Sounds like maybe the virus scan is not detecting it. Are you syncing it while the card is in the phone? I would try that with blocks of music until the problem pops up and then you can slim it down from there
zelendel, thanks for your help, I did try those things and the problem remains.
However after trying different things I discovered that the files are not the problem because I synced all my music wirelessly and everything worked perfectly. Until I connected my phone to my mac without syncing and unmounted the sd-card.
My guess is that there is a problem with the mount-unmount mechanism, it may be a hardware issue I dont know. Its weird, because once I unmount, the sd-card prepares and the phone identifies it, but after that I cant open any music application, camera, etc and once I lock and try to unlock the phone, it freezes as I stated before.. Im lost
What do you think? any ideas?
thanks again!
Same Thing here in Xperia mini St15i Please Helpppppp?!

Sorry, something that is confusing....if you are unmounting your sdcard then that is why that you cannot open files..it is unmounted. What happens when u pull your sdcard out? unmount it from settings>storage and see how the phone behaves....if works smoothly then it might be a slot issue....
If your phone rooted?
Its stock rom? Hace u ever do something to ir? Probably its hardware problem.

Hello fellas
Same problem experienced here on two different Huwawei android phones -> sonic and ideos..gingerbread and froyo respectively.
Everytime the phones do sdcard I/O opps, all UI elements become unresponsive but bg tasks run coz they ring during incoming calls and texts.
The sdcard is the same...a 4gb kingston.
I know the sdcard works well because i've tested it more than once using H2testw 1.4 ....no flaws reported at all!
The card also works flawlessly on my nokia E63.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
sd card error ... guess so.
Hey there am too experiencing the same prob . When i insert the sd card class 2 the phone freezes , and becomes unresponsive until i remove the card ... Since dis post is about 2 yr old so guess there might b some solution to dis prob ... .... thankzz in advance
I use my tab for a media player in my car, mounted in the dash in place of the head unit. I pulled it out to mess around with it at the house the other day and preformed the 4.04 update. I dont use my gallery so i never noticed this right away, but it does not respond at all. I have searched the forums about it. The only thing i found was some peopel were having issues with it saying not enough memory. Mine doesnt even load. I hate to have to reformat my sd card or to do a factory wipe to see if that fixes it. I have a 32gb card in it, but i tried to even save stuff to the enternal mem to see if that did anything, and i still cant get the gallery to load. I dont even get a force close. It just asks it i would like for it to wait, or close the program. Anyone have any ideas before i do any of that.

I've tried to
wipe cache 2 times
delete a whole bunch of apps
Change power settings
I have NOT YET tried to do a full wipe, due to the fact that I've got waaaay to many apps that don't sync data with google so it would be a major hassle to fix settings, copy data out and so on.... But am looking at backup solutions that include DATA ( helium)
I haven't been able to ascertain pattern.
Any suggestions on what I can do , or for that mater any way to find out why the hell it restarts.
Thanks in advance!

That's strange. So just reboots, no shutdowns?
I can only assume, maybe a rogue app with reboot access.
Just reboots
And It seems totally random.... everywhere from 4 times a day to non... Load dosen't seem to matter . From netflix and web to plain and simple spotify. It's driving me up one wall and down the other... can't figure it out, and really don't want to factory reset
Any form for event viewer or something that I can take a look at?
Worst part is I use it to take work notes and on a few occasions it's died (rebooted) on me in the middle of notetaking... starting to really mess with things ... and yes I know, do a factory reset, and I will if I run out of options. But my fear is that after I reinstall all the apps I'm back to square one, and it all starts all over again.
Maybe hibernating all non stock apps with Greenify could solve the riddle; if it's indeed a software issue. Once the problem ceased, activate one app at a time till the reboot bug reoccurs..
Hi
Sry for the slow reply
Been testing the Greenify for about 2 days and the same is still happening. I've more or less put all non stuck apps into hibernating list.. and run it every so often, as well as activated the hibernate at screen off. And it still happens... wish there was an event log or something that could point me in the right direction.
That's too bad. What if it is malware? I'd say make a factory reset. Stay clear of non stock apps and watch and see. If it still reboots, it must be a hardware issue. You still have warranty, aye?
Nope warranty is out, I think. I mean 2 year but got it back in 2014 at some point.
A damn it, was hoping to id the damn offending app and fix it without having to factory reset....
No one knows of any event / log feature in android ( akin to event viewer in windows)...??
I just read on Amazon that someone had the same issue inconsistent reboots and the culprit was a micro SD card.
Do you have on inside your Shield?
I had this problem like 3 months ago. When tablet was charging the led indicator was blinking on green an orange. The problem was that the cable from battery was connected bad, I just had to connect it with solder. (My tablet is replaced )

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I do have an NTFS formated sd card installed...
Do you know of any easy way to check...or even better fix it?
Replace the SD card with another one or don't use one for now. You can still backup via USB or WiFi.
It may be a incompatible issue or a damaged SD card.
Backup via usb? As in copy paste the content of the SD card?
I have a lot of apps on the SD card, and not enough space on local storage to move back to tablet ....
Was hoping for some software based diagnostic or test to check the sdcard
Yes, you can copy n paste. Or save new data on a new SD card etc.
I presume there are Android SD card checker apps. But I think that won't help if it's an incompatible issue. Anyway, unmounting the current SD card won't erase its data. It's the sour apple you've to try.
Just somehow experienced the same.
Android 7.0 - no root no anything.
It's weird. Now it rebooted with 1% and then died. Before it just rebooted around 40%. Anyone found a solution?
Thanks
