After recently syncing and disconnecting, I noticed my phone was prompting me to format my memory card in order to use it.
I've tried using the card in my computer card reader, and the same problem - all the data has disappeared!
Is this a card hardware problem or has anyone else experienced random erasing of their memory card?
Am I hoping a bit too much for there to be a solution to getting all my files back?
Frank.
Sorry bubba. I had the same issue with a 4gb sandisk and no joy. I tried everything to revive it I lost a lot of important memories due to that. Sorry to give bad News.

I copied some music over to my internal sd card last night and i was running GeoMod, and all of a sudden my captivate became super buggy and unresponsive. So i thought okay, something with geomod.. So this morning i did a fresh JF6 --> AXURA to try it out. Copied my music over...and.... still doing the same thing is there somewhere in specific i need to put the music files to avoid this? i have the mp3s in folders according to artist in a MUSIC folder on the internal SD. and its only like 1.5gb of stuff...
Any help would be nice
Thanks

I've never just copied and pasted. Use an app (I use doubletwist) to transfer and see if that works.....
Are you sure they are mp3s? It sounds like you're using the iTunes hierarchy, which means you may be using its music format. That could be a cause.
Also, this is in the wrong section.

None of it would cause that. Are you sure it's not scanning your media? If not, then I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
All of my music is in .mp3 format that was organized artist>album>song for iTunes, and it works perfect on my Captivate. If the phone is scanning your SD card, then it will bog the phone down significantly (especially my class 2 16GB external SD...so slow to scan, but cheap to buy).
Did you give it a few minutes for media to finish scanning?
Try a USB port on the back of your computer instead.
I had a similar problem when I first got the phone when transferring a large amount of files to an external SD card. The entire phone would become horribly laggy and even pressing "power off" it wouldn't ever fully turn off, requiring a battery pull to actually restart the phone. I tried loading media onto the SD card directly from the computer and everything worked fine and the phone was able to scan it without crashing. But copying files from external to internal (or vice versa) also caused the phone to react the same way.
The only thing I figure was that it was a VERY low-quality micro SD card (2 GB, not even SDHC, no idea what the class was). When I put in a 8 GB class 6 card, I never ran into this problem again. If this is happening while transferring to your internal SD card, I don't know what the issue might be; but if it's an external, try using a certified high-quality micro SD and see if the problem persists.
edit: I know you said it was to internal SD card, but try removing the external if you have one to see if the issue is still there (the internal would also behave oddly when I had a low quality SD in external even if I wasn't using the external).
Not sure if this is only me effected but seems that whenever I store music on my SD card, it's jumps and isn't complete. All tracks seems to be having the same issue.
Tried rebooting the Z
Formatted the SD card few times
Used different apps to copy the music to SD card
I'm using a certified MICRO SD HC 32GB
Anyone else having the same ??
Thanks

I'm using a 48Mb/sec SDCard from Samsung and it doesn't stutter at all, no.
Could it be that the transfer rate of your SDcard isn't sufficient?

Could well be. I used SD tools and my SD card pretty poor for data read and write so returning to get another.
Going for Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 Micro SD. Hopefully this preforms better than what I have.
Thanks
I'm having problems even with music stored on internal memory. All songs are complete, but they sometimes jump/pause briefly in the middle.

Whilst trying to resolve my SD card issue, I copied all my music library to the internal memory and playing a few tracks, didn't have the same problem as I did with the SD card.
What method are you using to copy your music across?

I used sony bridge for mac. Should I try removing all tracks and transferring manually to see if that makes a difference?

Should try that. I think when I copied my files manually from PC, had an interruption (screen and power save came on) and this caused my music to jump and skip. Didn't have time to redo from scratch as my library pretty big.
I've used iSyncr (available for pc and mac) and it reads your iTunes library to transfer over USB and/or wireless.
So far using this on the built in memory has worked. When I receive my new SD card, going to retry saving my music to SD memory and post the outcome.
It seems as though it's not just my stored music that's affected but also music synced through the google music app. Any ideas? It's getting more and more frequent and is driving me crazy! Is it possible it's a hardware fault?

I'm no expert but sounds like either something is causing the files to not copy in sync. Have you tried to download a music file from the internet and see if this causes the same? if so, probably best to backup the Z and wipe to factory default to see if this fixes the issue.
If you do download a music file from the internet and bypass any pc connectivity, and it works without any jumping, I'd say it COULD be how you are copying to the device.

I'll try that shortly. However, I also tried a factory reset, it fixed it temporarily, but then again, it gradually begins to jump more and more, so tracks started off jump-free, then gradually one jump per song. Will try downloading, see how that goes, and also see if there is any further degradation in the tracks.
Downloaded double twist so can wirelessly sync to that from my itunes so might give that or isyncr a shot as well.

ok so it seems it happens even with downloaded tracks...and as I said, already factory reset and it just comes back again after a while.

Just received my Sandisk micro SDHC 32GB and can confirm no problems when playing music from SD card.
SD tools results
Write speed 8.3MB
Read speed 36.6MB
Hi all,
I have been suffering from this issue for a while but cant pinpoint the source of the issue.
Every time i try to transfer a large amount of data onto my phone the speeds drop every few seconds to zero then back up to a few Mbps.
This happens on all the different roms i have tried and even directly mounting using safestrap recovery. it takes a ridiculous amount of time to transfer my 13GB of music to the card (6 hours+). I have also tried to transfer it to the internal memory not the full 13GB but just a 1GB sample and i still had the same issue. I have tried multiple PCs on windows 8 and 7 and multiple cables in case this was the issue.
Has anyone suffered similar issues?
My fear is this is a hardware issue with the phone
Hello, did anyone ever encounter random crash when recording in 1080p 60fps?
I change to that setting when i want to record videos but most of the time it will crash. I usually recorded myself and my friends and leave it on tripod when i was playing sports but it seems that it's always crashed and nothing was recorded.
I've tried testing it to check if the same problem occurred by letting it self record and i leave it for around 10mins and it was working fine. This was tested when it was in my home.
So anyone ever encounter this? Maybe heat problem or it cannot record too much movements? It was fine when recording in 720p though.
Hi!
Where do you store the vids? Internal Memory or SD-Card? In most cases the internal memory is faster than a SD Card. You can check the write speed of your memory with any kind of SD Card Benchmark from Play Store and choose the faster one.

Oh,maybe that's the reason why! I guess.
I stored it in my SD card, i'm gonna try it on internal memory and see if it's working or not. My internal memory is always full but i guess i need to do some cleanup now and then. Thx!
