Hi i have microSD with around 100 mp3's. And when the card is in the phone its slow in Windows Explorer and generaly XPERIA its slow then. When i delete folder with mp3's phone is fast again.
Any similar experiences.
Nope. If I remember well, you should put your MP3 in a "My Music" folder.

My Music on MicroSD or on Phone.
P.S. music player detects it anywhere i put it.
well... that's odd. I store my mp3s in MP3 folder, having more than 500 of them, no impact on read/write/general speed. my card is 8gig san disk class 6 if it's any help. what more, I have about 700 pictures in one folder on the root as well + many other files.

could it be becouse im using Touch-IT Xperience 14.1.2 custom ROM
It depends on the SD. You shouldn't use old or slow cards. They WILL make the device slower. Powerful devices need good cards. SDHC class 5 or above should be a must. So, what kind of card do you have?
P.S. You can put the mp3s wherever you like. It makes no difference.
one is Sandisk 1GB MicroSD
other is SanDisk 4GB MicroSD HC
both formated on FAT32
Sorry I had the same problem when I put the MP3 files in any folder (not in My Music) with the R1 firmware of the X1. Never had this problem again after upgrading to R2 and to R3.
I have never seen any speed difference on the Sandisk microSD cards, but I have only 8 and 16 GB cards, I never had 1 and 4 GB.
I am on Touch xperience 14.1.2 as well and noted the same problem. I guess it's rom related. However, total commander doesn't have the same issue.
OP - Change the ROM to a Generic R3A and use the SDHC. Come back and post results. I bet it it the ROM you use.

using the same ROM. But something happened last night and in TouchFlo now when i go to music its saying NO MUSIC FOUND and phone its fast. But MicroSD is in the phone and i can play songs via media player. So its great for me. Couse i didnt play music via touchflo.
Before when Touchflo found the music its started to get slow.
So I guess problem is related to touchflo3d.

I'm debating on whether to get a 1GB SD card or a smaller size. Besides the obvious such as watching movies and storing MP3s.
What eslse do you guys do with your 1GB SD card?
dumping maps on it for tomtom for instance
Install my games, MP3, movies to it.
I have favourite cab files, mp3, movies and audiobooks on mine.
Sooner or later you will fill the 1GB card.
You can never have enough memory!
gps gps gps
maps + maps + maps + maps
or something widh is not larger than 1gb

Besides the fact that you're off topic, I think it's important to keep this forum free from political statements.
Loads of stuff goes on the card. Believe me if you buy smaller, you'll regret it. Go for the 1GB.
TomeRaider and Wikipedia, which takes up over 500 Kb. I love being able to carry the entire wikipedia with me wherever I go!
Even 1GB is tight.
You have to watch which pictures/which maps/which MP3s/which books you install.
It's no Free-For-All!
With 1GB, you have manage your memory carefully.
It's not like the old days!
Depending on what you're storing. I have my MP3s, movies, data files (pocket word, Excel, PDFs, pictures).
I'd agree xda-rocks -> you can never have enough memory.
If you can wait .. when the prices drop, pick up a 2GB.. or 1GB x2. Either way, i only had my 1GB card for 3 weeks, running out of space already
movies... songs... all sort of stuff...
storage and memory are never enuff
ebooks.... thousands of ebooks
and music, and pictures. i have the camera save all the pictures and video to the gig card
Well hell, IF I had a 1gig storage card, I would use it to store 3 days of backups, that would round to about 180mb. then use the rest for movies, music, and file sharing when I have my webserver running on my BA at the hot spot.
PS. if you get a card that large, invest in a usb card reader on your main computer. Makes life that much easier.
cheers
how do you organize it all? is there a program you use to organize the program installations?
i use it first to store 3 backup files (3 weeks' worth), a whole bunch of movies, games, data files, and programs. have to agree, you can't have enough memory =)
the backup files really are essential. and i usually make sure i have at least 2 of them on hand, in case the latest one is unstable.
somynex =)
I have a 1GB 66x SD card, with the i-mate ROM update and WMP10. I now sync to "Napster To Go" and have a great little media center.
Also store TomTom maps, all additional software is installed to the SDcard too.
As soon as I find a 2GB 66x card, i'll get one of those.
I have recently got a 2G card with my Navigon 5 Update
So I store normally a 250Mb Card of Germany, now for Holidays I stored a 1Gig card of Europe on it, removed some MP3s and of course have 3 or 4 Weeks of Weekly Fullbackups (sprite backup) on it.
So I have normally over 1Gig of MP3s on it , one map for navigon and some games and my backups...
I've got a HTC TyTN and a 6GB MicroSD memory card.
I was taking photos with the internal cam, I’ve set the camera to stores the photos on the MicroSD card. The card was filled with 2GB of music files. This is the problem I’ve experienced.
The camera indicates its possible to store 0 photo’s on the MicroSD card. When i delete a few music files, I had around 1700MB stored in use on the card. Now its possible to store more than 300 photos (in 3MPX format) on the card.
Is this a bug, because I had more than 4GB free space left. Could someone test this?
Believe it or not this might be a directory limitation. I had the same problem before with my O2 xda IIs. I put every single thing in the root directory.
I forget what the limit was, but as soon as I sorted my content and added them to subdirectories that I created - the problem was solved. Try that.
Thanks will test this out. I have some tomtom maps in de root, maybe thats the issue.
same problem here...4110MB free and only 27 pics to go!
I added a 700MB xvid movie on my storage card and now i've got 2000 pictures to go again. I think there is some kind of limitation. The card is filled for 2500MB now.. so there is enough room voor the photos
Will try that tonight
hmmm, i think i know what the problem is: if the camera reads the free disk space the old way (32bits) the maximum free space correctly reported is 2 or 4G depending on the signed / unsigned type (remember the old problem windows had with files > 2G ?).
Thats what i thought in the first place.. thats why i posted it on the forums ;p.. maybe somebody had a fix for this issue.
just did put 309MB of MP3 on it and i got now 7363 pics to take...so thanks very much
hi guys,
i have searched forum, and realized that this is asked, but there is no clear results yet.
some people say get higher speed even with comparison to lower classes. and some people share their writing speed with adaptor, not on hd2.
i have sandisk 8gb class 2 sd card. and planning to replace with transcend 16 gb class 6. and if i will replace i will do this only for music tab. because its slowness drives me crazy.
anyway, what do you say guys? do you recommend me to buy new one? and can class 6 sd card owners share their opinions? but please, in terms of hd2, not adaptor speed.
thanks
I have a class 2, and to play graphic intensive games they have to be installed on the phone since the class 2 is too slow. I don't have a class 6, but I would think it would be more than enough for what the phone does.
My music was loading up slowly too till I put them in the correct file structure: Music/Artist/Album/XX.mp3
Also, I've noticed the phone performs better with .mp3 files rather than .wma or something else.

have u tried formatting ur class 2 sd card to fat32 format with 16kb cluster ? Do a full format if u haven been using 16kb cluster. works for me. dont have lagging over at music tab.
im using 8gb class 2 card given stock.

Create a folder on the SD card called Music Then a folder in there for the Artist (Madonna, Jay-Z etc.) and another folder in artist for their Albums and put the mp3 for that album in there. So you'll end up creating a bunch of folders for each artist and each of their albums.
So your file structure on your SD card would be: Music/Artist(name)/Album(name)/MP3
This sped up my music tab considerably. BTW, if you use Windows Media Player or DoubleTwist to sync music, they will do the same thing and put them in the file structure I mentioned. Make sure they are mp3 files, I had problems with wma.
Hope this speeds things up for you guy's, like it did for me.

first of all i want to thank you for your replies guys.
@pool7979
what is 16 kb cluster and how can i find out whether i am using 16kb cluster or not. secondly what is full format?
thank you
For me, going from the stock 16gb class 2 that came with the phone to an 8gb class 6 made a huge difference. I have garmin mobile xt loading from the SD card, and program start up, address and POI search, map display and redraw is tremendously faster. Picture and album browsing is also much faster. I'm thinking about getting a 16gb class 10 to see if it'll make even more difference.
Take a look at this thread as well.

Your 8Gb may be formatted differently to how your 16gb was.
ok so basically, the higher the class, the faster the card ?.

hi sorry for late reply. what i did was insert sd card into pc. thrn right click format. from there i can set what cluster size it is . i think its something to do with.how data can be arranged/store in terms of size setting. i once read using 16kb seems to be the most optimum setting for winmo. seems to work for me.
to me class dun really matter for mobile phones as reading and writing on card are not that intensive. i would rather use a class 6 on a camera or act as usb thumbdrive instead with portable reader.
class speed

Basically the class rating means the minimum speed of the card. Class 2 must have a minimum speed of 2Mb per second, class 4 -4Mb, class 6-6Mb class 10-10Mb.
With a good quality card, the actual speed can be many times this, so with some makes, you will see an advertised speed ofup to 32Mb per second for a class 6, but in normal use the maximum is usually just under 20Mb per second.
So you may think a faster card is better, but this is not always the case. Just because a card can read at 20Mb per second, this does not mean a mobile phone can transfer data to or from the card at this speed. These sort of read/write speeds are designed for high end digital cameras.
A mobile phone does not need speeds this high, even to watch HD video. So anything above a Class 4 is a waste.
It is much better to purchase a good quality branded class 2 or 4 card.

or you use a software like the free/donation ware mp3tag. it will handle all aspects of working with mp3 tag's. i change the file structure of my 500+ mp3 files, from 'all in one folder' to the folder sorted format xeebot mentoined, with only a few mouse clicks.
and i can confirm that this speedup mp3 handling alot, music player is ready in 2-5 seconds after selecting the tab (before it taks up to 30 sec. and more).
another good program to prevent freezing and hanging of music tab is mp3val (also free/donation ware). it check your mp3 files for errors in the filestructure itself, and fix them if possible.
the definiton of the class/speed of sd cards can be found at the sd association website. the problem is to know what speed the controller of your device can do!. its useless to have a class 6(mb/s) card when your controller in the hd2 only do 4mb/s speed. and as far as i know htc makes always a big secret of facts like that .

Hello xda-members.
Cause I don't have 10 posts in your pleasant forum here, I am not able to post in the dev-part directly concerning the MOD for the camera.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785
So I'll try here...
I just installed the new 1.1.3.4 Version (128) via Astro-FM. First i deleted the cam app via Titanium-B. The 64 and 96 Version seem to be broken @tm. The method via CWM doesn't work either.
Now if I record a video in 1080p the sound and the video are quite suspended. I Doesn't matter if I choose the internal SD or external. I'm running the Fr17 Modaco (prebake)
720 works fine instead.
So, does anyone else face this problem too? Any suggestions? If it's possible i'd like to post in the dev-thread...
Kind regards
Are you saving your video to external SD card??? if so id try saving it to the internal, as the r/w will be faster than the external.

As said, doesn't matter.
I just sent the videos to my PC. There's no out of synch. Perfect match of sound and image. Seems to be a player problem on the mobile device...
I'd like to know if others have the same issue...?

yes, since the 1.st version !
when playing back on device, sound is not in sync with video ...
i guess it could be the player app, i´m using LG video player ...
by the way, i corrected wrong update zip, now you can flash via CWM ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785&page=21
You're right. With the first Version I also didn't realize the problem.
For now I tested with rockplayer and the original LG. With both players the sound and image are out of synch on the P990.
I don't even have a clue whats happening with the files or players... May both internal and external SD card are to slow? Who knows. I have a class 4 external SD. But I think even 4 MB writespeed would be enought for the 17Mbit stream...
17Mbit / 8 = 2,125 Megabyte
Even a good class 2 card would be enought...
I have Nook Color 8GB with 2GB microSD card. I want to save a few movies to my Nook for my upcoming long flight and wonder what the best way to do it is. Could somebody please answer these two questions for me:
1. Can I copy videos to Nook's internal memory to take advantage of the 8GB?
2. Which video converter and which settings one should use to get the smallest file size possible with a decent quality?

I do copy videos to my internal memory; however, they cannot be seen by the video player in that location. I find that the internal memory is a great place to ‘store’ the videos, but they need to be moved to the SD card (at least that is where I move them) when you are ready to watch them.
As for the video conversion, I use HANDBRAKE which is very easy to use and free. If you google NOOK settings for HANDBRAKE you can easily locate the configuration for the Nook Color.
Hope this helps and have a safe trip.

1. Yes, you can. Mobo player or Rock player played almost every file format perfectly fine no matter they are stored in the internal memory or external uSD card.
Side note: you never has 8GB of internal memory. To know how much, pls check it under Storage. If your NC is new, most likely you only have 1GB.
2. Handbrake is great tool.
When I connect my Nook Color to the computer, I see the drive called MyNOOKcolor, but its capacity is only 1 GB. Is it supposed to be that little? No way to take advantage of the full 8GB?
@alosito,
You will never have 8gb available as the system uses some of it to boot up. I repartitioned mine by following the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 .
As far as your two questions above.
1. You can copy anything to your emmc and access it. Before I got my 16gb sd card, I put movies there unconverted. But a feature length movie can be brought down to the native screen resolution of the nook color using several converters including handbrake. All I did to access the movies was to use File Expert (free on the market) and navigate to the emmc to play the movie using rock player.
2. There are plenty of guides for handbrake and others to achieve this. I do not convert as I have a big enough card and rock player plays anything I throw at it. A converter that I use for work that has hundreds of presets is from Xilisoft. They make converters that go straight from blue ray or dvd to multiple formats/devices.

When I reboot in Recovery, I get "Install Failed" message. I have CM7 installed. What am I doing wrong?
You need to have a bootable sd to get this to work as it wipes everything on internal (emmc) memory. A CM7 rom should be on the bootable sd too.
+1, Redoing the partition on any drive totally wipes that drive.
