So I've been having issues with my apps if I put them on the SD card. if I put them on the SD card they get horrible slow and laggy. Facebook for example can hang for minutes before loading what I clicked giving messages that the app is hanging and if I want to close it.
currently I'm running the Concept firmware , but even with that the Z3 runs out of internal memory very fast. and with some apps (groove) not allowing you to store data on the SD card, it gets a lot worse, making them unusable. After I installed the concept firmware I did reinsert the SD card and chose to format it so it's supposed to be an extension of the internal memory but it also doesn't seem to really work :/
Anyway right now I believe I'm running a sandisk card of some type, probably C10 if I remember right(can't really remove it right now). Is it the type/class of card that makes it work so slow on the phone ? is there some other preferred type and class of SD card that doesn't cause this serious app lag, and is there a way to then set it up so that apps that store large data and don't have a setting for SD card will still store on SD or to unify internal and SD storage as one ?
I believe it's the card. even the class 10 cards are horribly slow for use as system storage. install a sdcard speed test app and test both internal storage vs sdcard read/write speeds. And you will be shocked.
I Use Samsung pro 64gb card. And I was able to use it as system storage on concept rom. It has 90/80 read/write (*rated) speeds. And it works fine on my z3.

Hi guys
sorry for this really newbie question but when installing new progs on the pocket pc, internal memory is used, correct? When the memory becomes used do the programs get loaded onto storage card? I have a 1 gb sd card.
Can you run programs from storage card? How does it work?
sd cards are slower then internal storage
sd cards have a limited number of writes before they die
when you install from the pc activesync when you can pick the sd card to if you say you dont want to install in the default place
things like today items should not be installed on sd's as it is slow
and gets turned off at times when the pda is "turned off"
sd cards can never act as application ram only storage
because of all the resons state over this
I'm using MIUI-1.12.9 with APPS2SD after preparing a 512MB partition for the apps on my 8GB Class2 MicroSD Card. The remaining section I used to store files for flashing, music, data, etc.
Now all of a sudden, my phone gives me 'You may remove the SD Card' error. It shows the MicroSD Card as unavailable and even when I connect vias USB, the computer cannot detect it. I tried connecting the card separately to the computer using an adapter, but no luck. However, it still reads the EXT3 partition where all the apps are stored as all the apps are still available to me.
Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to resolve this? I want to backup all my apps first but I can't do that with out Android recognizing the card
I don't have a solution for you, but just out of curiosity why in the hell do you use APPS2SD on Defy? After you install the ROM there is around 1GB of free space on the internal memory. This is more than enough to install over 100 apps. Moreover you can move some of the to SD-card from the interface (Manage Applications).
I figured, the more space I free up the more breathing space right? Anywhich way it was working great. No noticeable lag even though I use a Class 2 SD Card. When all of a sudden after over a week, it suddenly gives me a notification "You can safely remove your SD Card now." Huh? Even after reboot, it gives me the same message. I took out the card and plugged it directly in and it doesn't read, but the EXT3 partition still works fine!
I could just get a new card and start from scratch. But I'm intrigued by this error! Gotta get to the bottom of this. Didn't get any response on the General forum, so I figured I'd try my luck here at the risk of annoying a few people. Can anyone help with any suggestions?
I really don't recommend that to anyone, (on every phone available)
it really slows down phone. (this phone has 300/100 read/write)
And if you don't have such sd card don't format it as internal memory,
just as SD card for multi-use.
I tried with 100/40 or something SD card,
and it felt like s...
Yes, I can confirm that! My old Phone had only 16GB of internal memory, so I thought that it would be nice if I format my Class10-SD-Card as internal memory.
But it was a mistake, because it slows down the phone so much...
Also if you have a very fast SD-Card - it will not work and slow down your phone...
I've always been using microSD on my smartphones as an internal memory and have no speed issues.
It is also advisable to move all apps to the internal memory and to use the "external" internal memory only when the internal memory is full.
When the microSD is formatted as internal memory, the transfer rate drops because the microSD is encrypted (AES-128).
However, this is hardly noticeable in practice.
let alone that: The advertised microSD speeds are rarely achieved in practice.
I have more problems with a portable formatted microSD.
There are e.g. Access problems with third-party apps or file managers.
Hello. I'm thinking to buy Micro SD card. Sandisk Extreme Pro. My idea is to increase internal storage. I know since Android v6.x is/was possible to move apps to sd card or make it as internal storage. I never tried and used this way on Samsung phone. So I have some questions. How or is it possible to use micro sd card as internal storage. How quick opening, rinning, working applications. And last question what is max video recording settings to work smoothly with micro sd card. Unfortunately Note 20 Ultra 128Gb storage not enought.

You should have plenty of room for a normal load...
You don't want to run apps from the SD card vs internal memory.
The bridge and memory of the SD card are much slower than internal.
It's purpose is as a data drive.
You want the SD card isolated from internal memory.
Move all critical data to the data drive. Put everything up need to do a factory reload here as well including copies of apps and backup settings. Back this drive up redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other!
The OS, apps, the temporary photo and download folders go on the internal memory. Keep this drive as small as possible.
Use a V30 or higher card, vids run fine from it. The Lexar .5tb V30 goes for about $75 and it's good to go out of the box. Format in phone before use.
This is how my 10+ is set up. Using about 60gb of the internal and 340gb of the card. It runs fast and stable.
I got the A22 5G and I like it apart from one huge issue.
I encrypted my sd card (256 GB) and transfer rates are unbearably slow.
If I copy a 2 GB file from the internal storage to the SD card it will start ok (20 MB/s) but this is likely only the cache.
Soon it slows down to ultimately 10-50 kB/s which is unusable, copying was not finished after 15 min.
When I decrypt the card again everything is as fast as expected. I checked the SD card on another phone, no speed problems.
Back into the Samsung and encrypted it is unusably slow again.
Did anybody have a similar issue?
I returned the phone.
In case somebody else runs into this issue I'm afraid I could not determine the cause.
I tried adopting the SD card as internal storage via adp commands but Samsung has even blocked this now.
One can partition the SD card as internal storage still but it is not possible to trigger the migration.
This means any normal application will still only see the internal phone storage and not the sd card's.
Clear system cache.
Low level format the card, then format it again with the phone.
