I've got a stock D4 running the latest OTA. I rooted it and now it seems quite a lot slower to respond to just about everything.
Anyone else run into this problem?
I don't plan on changing the ROM at this point, so let's not go down that road.

yes.
maybe turn off battery saver?
I may have found the trouble. I had an 8gb microSD card installed. I was planning on swapping that out with a 32gb one from the wife's now replaced Droid3. When I put the 8gb card in a PC it seemed to have a lot of trouble reading it. Eventually the card just died. I'm guessing the D4 was likewise having trouble with the card and that might have contributed to the problem. Meanwhile with the 32gb card it seems to be performing properly (or at least I'm now used to the slow-down).

My Korean Motoroli seems to be having big problems with the SDcard recently. Originally I had the factory-issued no-name 8gig class 4 in it and now I have some other no-name brand 16gig class 8 in it, but the problems still remain.
The phone will either "loose" many photos when I use the camera (not writing them to the card) or will even sometimes go to a black screen and then just reboot. Sometimes it even just simply hard-locks the phone requiring me to pull the battery.
What recommended bands/class of sdcard would fix this? Or is the problem something else?

Have you tried reformatting? Or scanning the disk for bad sectors?

Yes, both. I even used the official SDcard formatting program.

Can I ask which ROM you are using? What sort of modifications youve done to the phone? I myself use the stock class 2 8GB and have never had many problems. Since you have the problem on multiple SDcards, it seems like a hardware problem. Bit if you are using a customROM, maybe somethings messing up there. More information would be helpful.

That´s absolutely true.
Will try ext4 in the next days.
Okay, looks like that's the card I should buy. I found a Korean source for it here: http://item.gmarket.co.kr/detailview/Item.asp?goodscode=216437760
Hopefully It might fix some of my problems...
Well, I got the new SDcard (see above) and it seems to be a little better (slightly more responsive)... but the phone still locks up and and/or reboots when I take a photo sometimes. The chance of it happening seems to be less now, but it's still likely to happen.
Any other ideas? Have any other users had a similar problem to this?
Hey check out this thread (see my post #19). A good conversation about cards and classes. Maybe read before you buy and commit.

Card type and class has much to do with camera quality and also video too.
Surprised there isn't more talk about this issue with all the sdcard issues we have. With HD recording and an 8mpxl camera it seems we need a better class card, I need to get a couple for my phones and I am trying to find the best buy on a samsung. My question for anyone who has experience is if I spend the money on a class 10 samsung, is it going to make a big noticeable difference? Will it stop a lot of the issues or is the issue more related to Android and even more so with XT720? Is there anyone who has upgraded who can answer? Seems it will but I would hate to spend the money and not get much improvement.

I am currently using a Samsung Class 10 16GB card that I ordered somewhere online. My main Issue always was with transferring media and this card tackles the problem with ease, I do not get black screen problems anymore. The camera seemed ok with no major differences that I noticed, but usual camera freezes have reduced. Overall I would suggest an upgrade.

It's the same for me. Since 1 day I replaced my stock 8gb sdcard by a lexar 8gb class 10 and no more problem to transfer (hope it will continue) and video record under cm7.2 is smooth.

No,black screen issues are very rare. But have to admit they tend to happen at times,though negligible.

Hi maruki, does it fix your sd card problem. I am also experiencing sd card problem when taking photographs or any activity that will require writing to sd card. (Downloading, etc) I am also suspecting it is a sd card issue and hoping the problem is not on our device. I also plan to buy new one since I am using the stock mem card that comes with the unit. I want to know if it worked for you.
by the way, setting the camera to lower resolution seems to fix the sd card writing failure in my case.
there is new type of sd card, UHS-1 which seem to to deliver a very high speed and write, topping any current sd card in market now as decribed here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/samsung-ultra-high-speed-microsd/
maybe when it's available I'll purchased one, also the best thing is that it can be used for swap ram to fix xt720 low ram problem. do you think so?
but I'm also not sure if these uhs-1 cards are compatible with xt 720 or not. If anyone plans to buy one when it's available please review after that i'll also do a review when I get one.
class 10
buy a class 10 memory card
I'm having issues with my tab not recognizing files from the sd card, Ill put media or videos on the card and they will be deleted whenever I transfer the card to my tab or disengage usb mode. It occurs when using oldmacnuts better than life rom or cm7. I thought 32gb cards were compatible with the tab, am I wrong?

Might be an issue with the card there are a LOT of 'hacked' memory cards out there. A 2gb card is firmware hacked to read as a 32gb card by PC/Laptop/Tablet, then a three is printed on the card before the 2gb to look like a 32gb card. Try formatting the card and only put a few files on it (less than 2gb) and try it to find out if the same problems occur. If the card works fine then its probably a hacked 2gb card, with the hacked card it does appear as if more than 2gb files are on it but on trying to play the files (once you go over the 2gb) the card throws up different errors and will not play the file or files.
I have a 32gb Adata class 10 card that works perfectly in my Tab. Stock, Better than Life, and now CM7, all read it just fine. Sounds like you might have a bad card like ericbt32 mentioned.. depending on where you bought it you might have been scammed.

For those who wonder if their card is fake or not, try the card in HDTUNE. Look at the attached pic , it's fake microSD 32GB, the curve shows the true capacity (here 2GB) ,then jump and display a perfectly straight line.

Hi,
My husband and I wanted a tablet but the cost for most of them was just too much for us, so we did some research and found that the NC could be made into a tablet right here on XDA. Then it all seemed just too complicated. Somewhere we read that there was a SD card that you could use to make it a tablet and still use the NC. Dual boot thing...We researched that and found these N2A cards. You put the card in the SD slot and you can boot into the NC or ANDROID to use the tablet. Comes with preinstalled applications and this way you don't void your NC warrant. Any problem just remove the SD card and you are back to just NC..
Then we didn't like the price of those new ones either so we searched and found REFURBISHED ones...
Using these now about two weeks and IN LOVE....7" is a great size for us and some of the better tablets are 10'' just too big...
Anyway hope this help somebody here looking for a great inexpensive way to the TABLET world.

Congrats for getting NC to become a full fledged tablet I simply use CM7.2 Mirage Kang ROM, but it's nice you did it easy.
I hope you don't come into any problems with your refurbished SD card though. I always go new when I buy memory cards.
Good luck and have fun!

I think Gramme meant refurb'd nook color... not memory card
So I'm currently driving an OG EVO 4G, and was REALLY excited to get a class 10 32GB SD card for Christmas last year. My rationale in asking for it had been that it would go with me to my next phone.
LOVE the ONE in so many ways, but kind of balk at the fact that it doesn't have an SD card that can be swapped out.
So what do you ONE owners think? Is it an issue?
Well it depends on your storage needs. I used to have a 32gb card in my DHD, but it only had 8 GB internal storage and I used it with app2sdext. When I got my one x last year I never worried about storage (32gb model).
I had most of my music on there and still had more than 10gb free.
If you really really need 64gb of movies with you you can still use usb otg and an sd reader or an external hdd/usb sticks.
That's my 2c

Yeah, I guess I'm less concerned about it from a capacity perspective, and more from a backup, and maybe switching between ROMs angle... I'm just used to being able to pop a chip and pop another one in if I need to, y'know? Safety net and all that rot.
I have a 64gb Samsung Evo+ SD card, and in the two months I've owned this phone the card has become corrupt - Android recognizes that there is a card, but I cannot read/write to it. I can take the card out and put it in my PC and do a CHKDSK and get the data off of it.
Any idea what causes this? Or is the card shot?
I have exact same card and haven't run into this issue.
I had issues with my SD card on the regular E4 (Non Plus Variant), popped it into the E4 Plus and haven't had any issues. It seems Moto has some bad SD readers floating around.
I'm using that same card for a few months. No issues.

Are you using that card as internal storage? That'll burn one out real quickly since they're slower than the actual flash hardware on the device

Nope. I don't see the point in that. I want to be able to take my card out if the phone gets damaged.
I have been having this issue for months now! I am using a E4 perry and it seems like when I torrent and save to the SD card (as portable storage) this happens.

I'm having the same issue with my E4 as well. I noticed that it's only the 64GB cards that don't play well. In all the other E4's I have, using a 32GB card seems to do just fine.

I was using a 32 GB in my plus and it went as did a 4 GB I tried to use until I get another larger.
Still no problems with my 64gb Samsung Evo. Working great.
