Has anyone else got the out of memory issue while taking pictures or recording videos. Does anyone know what causes it or how to fix it. Any input would be appreciated.
I've experienced this before. Flashed SE Asia rom (the latest one) and everything seemed to work quite fine. Shutter lag is also minimal and torelable. What's your firmware btw? is it a CE/ UK version of XT720?
I have US firmware. It never stops recording or taking pictures just get the gay message. I never thought I'd get a reply to this. Thanks very much.
install Apps 2 SD, there are several topics about it
Are you low on internal memory? That caused a plethora of problems for me.
What is the Class of your SD card?
by right the card that comes with the phone is a class 4 card :/ should not be a problem for apps to sd as long as you dont transfer the davik cache to the card
Hardware: Verizon HTC One M8, Gunmetal Gray, with a Sandisk Ultra 64GB microSDHC card (Class 10)
Modifications: Rooted, S-OFFed, TWRP 2.7.0.2 and ViperOne(M8) installed @ version 1.3.1, Firmware, Radios and hboot updated from Santod's uploads. Installed Viper4Android FX v2.3.3.0, using "High" quality driver. I've modified the EQ curve a bit, but made no other changes to effects. It's only enabled for headphones.
Problem: Occasional glitches when listening to MP3s via Google Music (and only experienced when using headphones so far). I'm not playing from the cloud; the MP3s are stored on the microSDHC card. Seems to occur every 20 minutes or so, within the first 10-30 seconds of the start of an MP3. It's not at the same point each time, and I can't repeat it on demand or I would assume it's a bad copy of the file. The glitch is a very brief but very noticeable gap/hesitation in the file that's playing, like it's rebuffering or something. It only lasts a tenth of a second or so, but that's plenty long enough to be noticed.
I'm tending to think it's a problem with Viper4Android; next step is to uninstall it and see if things improve. Not sure what I'm going to do for EQ without it, though.
If anyone has thoughts to share, they'll be appreciated.
I've been experiencing the same thing. I've tried several different audio players but there's little difference; there are skips in tracks played off external storage. I'm on stock rom, with faux kernel. I experienced this with a completely stock device. My gut feeling is that the issue lies in the sd card, I have been trying different i/o schedulers and read ahead cache values. Some combinations have helped slightly but not enough to eradicate the issue, it could even just be coincidental.
I'm going to go ahead and say it has nothing to do with the rom, and it shouldn't be a cpu issue like I've seen on other devices since the glitch occurs regardless if the phone is awake or not.
Same here, playing off the sd card it will skip

Wow, so I'm not alone. I'm surprised I didn't find more hits on this issue when I searched; perhaps my google-fu is weak.
I couldn't imagine it being hardware related; this thing is orders of magnitude more powerful than any of my old MP3 players. I guess I'll live on the bleeding edge with ROMs and new kernels to see if it clears up. Thanks for your feedback!
Happens on my stock rooted/s-off using Poweramp
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the CPU being used too much. I was messing around with different clock speeds and trying to see how low I could take it and still be usable, and the lower I got, the more and more glitches came up.
Also, it is not just for mp3's. I get the glitches on spotify too, so I'm assuming it has to do with the overall audio output process, not just the reading of music files.

I'm inclined to say it is not a cpu issue, as I haven't encountered any problems using music stored on the internal memory.
I've been giving this issue some thought, and did a little research (probably not enough to talk authoritatively, though ). I've come up with the following observations:
This issue appears to have surfaced with Kit Kat.
Wiith Kit Kat, Google made some significant changes to the handling of external/removable SD-cards; no more direct write access to them from applications.
A lot of media player applications were "broken" by KitKat and needed to be redesigned to support the new restrictions.
The standard protocol for moving files to the removable SD-card is now MTP.
Which raises the following questions, at least for me:
Does this mean that MTP is the protocol for accessing MP3/media files from player apps, and therefore there's now an arbitrator/server in between the filesystem and media players?
Now that direct write access to SD-cards has been restored via an edit to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, is there a chance that an older MP3 player may have better luck playing MP3 files, given that it would probably use direct filesystem access vs. going through MTP (if in fact MTP is used for "new" applications)?
So it's not just me? It doesn't happen as often for me after the ota

You're doing god's work, man. It would certainly make sense if mtp was the reason behind all of this, as mtp is generally broken and incapable of parallel tasks. Perhaps, then, there is some kind of operation that the OS is performing at fairly regular intervals that disrupt what should otherwise be a simple read. Media scanning? Entropy generation? I'm not really sure, but clearly there is something silly going on in the I/O. Maybe a programmer like @SSukk could shed light on this
I think part of the problem is the amount of storage on the larger cards, and/or the fact that they're just not fast enough . My 64g card is a ultra and has problems. I bought one of the faster extreme pros and have never had any problems even when fully loaded. It's only 16g though. When the larger cards get faster speeds well see this disappear entirely.

A microSDHC card doesn't have to be very fast to keep up with the demands of playing MP3s. MP3 players were using much slower flash memory 10+ years ago without glitches or skipping.

I think you're onto something. I'd love to get some input from someone who understands the nuts and bolts of media playback in Android.
I have Google Music playing from the cloud on occasion, but most of my playlists are cached to SD. I don't use anything to modify output other than leaving BoomSound on, and I've not run into this glitch with headphones or Bluetooth,
Bump!! Wanna see more answers to this question! Haven't put MP3s on my phone yet but already installed a 64 GB card for the intentions on doing so!
Had mine in airplane mode for a while this morning as I was traveling to NYC. If anything, the glitches seemed to occur more often. I don't think they were predictable enough to say with authority that airplane mode was related, though.
Just curious, how are everyone's cards formatted? My 64gb is fat32, apparently. I suspect this to be a problem, even though it wasn't on other devices. However, I'd like to see if we all have that in common before I reformat and have transfer 60 gigs of music back over...

I didn't format mine after installing it, and I'll bet it came formatted as ExFat. I'll see if I can find a way to verify and report back.

I used this to figure out how I was formatted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted
Mine's definitely ExFAT.
On a related note . . .
I was sitting in the Stage Door Diner at 33rd and 8th Ave this evening (no, that doesn't really have anything to do with this issue, but it injects a little bit of local color into the story . . . I live in Maine, but I love NYC ), browsing XDA on my M8 while stuffing my face. For no apparent reason that I could see, a toast popped up with "Preparing SD Card." Now, I wasn't doing anything specific that would be accessing the SD card; as I said, I was just doing a bit of web browsing. But I thought that toast normally displayed only when the phone was booted and/or plugged into a computer via USB (and nowadays, with MTP being the default transfer mechanism to the SD card, it normally isn't seen then). But it looks like some process was doing something that caused the SD card to be "prepared," whatever that means, and since my music is on it, I'm suspecting it might have an effect on playback if it occurs when listening to MP3s.
Has anyone else noticed this symptom during normal usage?
Hi Guys,
I'm having an extremely frustrating time with my audio since inserting (what I thought would be a better) SD Card.
I get intermittent audio stutter on the new SD Card with screen on or off. Mostly when off though. Frequency seems to increase when notifications come through, though, don't occur exactly or exclusively on notification arrivals.
My Phone setup: As per Signature below
Old Card: Kingston SDHC Class 4 32GB (Formatted FAT32)
New Card: Strontium NITRO 566X SDXC UHS-1 64GB (Fotmatted exFAT)
I have attempted the following to try identify the cause:
1) Tried different Player (Sony's "Music" instead of Poweramp): Stutters on both
2) Complete clean install: Issue remained on new card
3) Reformat New Card to exFAT again: Issue remains
4) Xposed Active: Old Card works, new card stutters
5) Xposed Inactive: Old card works, new card stutters
The only conclusions I can draw are that the exFAT file system is the issue or the card is faulty.
I managed to capture a stutter in log cat. These two lines are interesting:
06-23 19:45:59.983 I/AudioFlinger(833): BUFFER TIMEOUT: remove(4097) from active list on thread 0xb4343000
06-23 19:46:00.245 W/AudioTrack(2465): releaseBuffer() track 0x9cbe6000 disabled due to previous underrun, restarting
I've attached a more complete log file. You'll see this error occur several times in short succession. Hopefully someone can see something I can't.
I'm at wits' end! Help would be deeply appreciated.
No such issue here, I have a 64GB Sandisk Extreme U3. I think it maybe the card., only way to find out is to test it in another phone/tablet.
I assume intermittent slow reads / simultaneous accesses of card or CPU time allocation can cause buffer under runs, as in something/app utilizing too much CPU time while your Music is playing. I suspect the former, its the MicroSD card's intermittent slow reads or other apps accessing it at same time. It is a low end card so I assume that much.
I generally prefer Sandisk Extreme or Pro / Lexar (Micron/Crucial) / Samsung Pro / Kingston (Collaboration with Toshiba) as they make their own NAND Flash and are pretty reliable.

Thanks for your feedback. What file system is your SD Card formatted to? exFAT I presume?
I am starting to think the card is the issue. Just want to be certain before I return it. Perhaps there is a trend or another cause.
Also, not sure I agree on your statement regarding Strontium being "low end". How did you come to this conclusion?
I assumed the model being somewhat equivlent to the SanDisk Ultra / Samsung Evo low end units due to the pricing and speed tests online.
It should still be good enough for music even if it's much slower but I assume multiple simultaneous acceses by other apps or inconsistent read speeds are causing your issue.Worst case the card is dud and you need a replacement. So just try it on another device to confirm of the card is the issue.
High end is usually the SanDisk Extreme/Pro or Samsung Pro or Lexar 633x (you can actually get them cheap on occasional sales on Amazon) but it shouldn't matter much for music though unless you are using like HD Audio or something.... Makes a big difference in video recording however.
Seems the SD card I bought was defective. I replaced the card with a SanDisk Ultra 64GB. Stutters have disappeared...
So basically I tried recording videos (the normal video not the 4K) using the camera app but it doesn't work. Every time I start recording it will get stuck on the 00 or 01 mark then a few seconds later an error message will appear that says "Unknown Error" then the camera app will stop and close down. I set the settings that all photos and videos goes to the external SD card (Samsung Evo+ 256GB). The SD card is not faulty as I am still able to store photos when I use the camera app. I also tried recording 4K videos with the storage going to the external SD card and it works fine. Video recording works on internal, but not on external SD card.
I have the Xperia XZ F8831.
Anyone who had this issue and was able to fix it?
No problem here, i have recorded now in the sd Kingston 128 gb in 1080p 30 fps and 60 fps, working grea..
I read somewhere that it is a problem with those who has 256GB cards. Kinda feels strange since the 4k vidoe recording works w/o issue but the regular video recording does not work.
That's weird, I have a 200GB card and I'm having this issue.

i have san disk 200 gb and no issue
some time when taking photo in automode i git notification that the sd card not class 10 and in video also. i can save normally without any fault.
Having exact same issue here. 256 Samsung Evo SD Card - camera gives Unknown Error for regular video. Still 4k and photos works fine.
Is there any solution for that?
It came out unexpectedly, so I've already missed some great shots. Thats a nasty bug (
Hi, I've searched and seen many posts on slow sd's, and separately many posts on sd corrupting pics and vids, and I seem to be observing both.
The sd card is a 95mbps Samsung (uhs-1 class 10 u3) , phone is an lg g6. Phone is fine (non rooted), and all apps were working fine. Then when I started pointing apps to the SD, I noticed transfers were extremely slow (I'm only getting between 4-10mbps up and down), and in some cases things were breaking like vids, pics, and off Spotify not loading, line map downloads failing.
Ithink what is happening is the os or the SD formatting with a low buffer, is causing the low speeds, and then the apps can't handle the slowness somehow. Like if I take 10 photos quickly and video, the buffer to storage is so slow that it thinks they've failed or something.
Anyways, would appreciate any help because I feel like I've just wasted 40 dollars on an SD card.
On a side note looked wide and far to find out the G6 sd specs, to no avail other than a forum poster saying their device took the uhs-1 class 10 ok.
