what micro sdhc card do you have in your defy? what class?

Change memory card. Don't use class10. Defy work best on class2, class4 or class6.
If problem persist. Wipe data and cache in stock recovery will do the trick.

i use strontium...dont know abt class..

Class is a kind of measurement for the SD card transfer speed...class 2 has a write speed of 2 MBps whereas class 10 has a speed of 10 MBps ...u can use the 2 gb card that is provided ....it is good ..only thing is 2 gb wont be enough for most users

Try using the card that came with defy. If it works as it should then buy your self a bigger card if you need one, but remember, don't buy class10, class4 is just fine.
Let us know if problem persists. Good luck

If you are looking to buy a new card, the 8GB class 4 SanDisk available on Flipkart is a good deal, I'm using that one

Actually it does make sense.
This issue is a bug in Motorola rom, CM7 has this corrected.
I couldnt for my life use for more than 3 days my 16gb Sandisk card, I would always get errors, phone rebooting, pics not saving, "please format your card" or "card damaged" messages, etc, while using Stock or early CM7 roms.
After they introduced the fix, no more card issues. Been using my 16GB card for months now

thanx mate i would definately do that...

OK I had problems with class10 16gb card even on cm7, replaced it with class4 16gb, on every rom it works without a problem.
Other thing, asn39 doesn't even know what is causing his problems and not everyone is found of modding and flashing their devices and loosing warranty.

i have given to care centre

Yep! those are two different issues. One is with Class10 cards, but I have seen that issue on other phones too. The other is a Moto issue.
Regarding modding the defy, you can mod it and not lose warrranty, just read the Beginer's Guide I wrote here on XDA
And @ans39, try using Panasonic SD Formatter.

Yup i will do it...i will do everything to make experience the defy still i have not tried its ruggidness lolz..

I too strongly suggest cyanogemod! The defy if crap without it...
The unofficial specifically is amazing! Official 'stable' isn't really all that stable. Also the higher class memory cards do work well with cyanogen, this is the first tine I've seen someone saying it doesn't...
Don't be scared to root and flash custom roms, defy is tough to brick

I would rather recommend CMIUI than cm7. It works really fast and nice, UI cannot be compared to cm and has a lot of tweaks just like cm. I like both roms, but CMIUI has proven be more stable and everything just works on it, but with cm, wifi problems, FC-s all the time, random reboot, apps not working well, always in beta etc

I dont know, I have never had any of the issues you are mentioning, and I'm running CM7.1 Stable since it went out and every RC version since they went out. It has always worked good for me.
CM7.1 for the Defy is the second most installed CM version, only the Bravo (Desire) and only a bunch of them actually have issues soooo...
MIUI is closed source too, I dont thrust them that much

[Q] desire hd video(720p) freezes

hi ..... the video on the desire hd is really clear but when i try to view the video its just starts freezing and lagging...i read somewhere that this gets fixed when i restart the phone and take the video immediately but I was hoping that there would be something a bit more substantial..maybe a fix of some sorts...would appreciate any help ..... thanks
i have the same problem i found a good high speed card fixed it
i now have a team micro 32gb class 6

Aye it is recomended to format with a 32k allocation unit size, and use a fast Micro SD card (Class 4 or above, I use a class 6), I have both of these and I have no problem with 720p recording on my DHD.

It wouldn't harm you to do so, I got a nice Samsung Plus 8Gb for £12 from Amazon.co.uk, I just use it for storing TV series and films to watch on the go so it's an ideal size for me.
Think I'll get 1 soon, 8 gb is plenty aswell for me. Think they are around £12 for class 6 8gb

I have bought 16 gb class 4 and I'm still having the problem...
Can somebody help?
I don't think the card is the cause of the problem.My friend has a 16gb class 10 card with stock rom (1.32) and has the same issue.
After reading a few posts on the forum I found out that this lag/freeze doesn't appear in custom roms ....so I guess the only solution is to wait for the official release of gingerbread (hopefully it will fix it) or to flash a custom rom.
P.S. I too am on the stock rom and having this problem . Just record in lower resolution (at least temporary ).
I have the same problem and I did not flashed my desire, I still have the original rom. Too bad cos the video is amaizing!
hi guys .. i sorted it out.. will tell you what. the card is not a problem. its the version of your android 1.32 lags with 720p. Just upgrade to 1.72 and the problem is gone .. hope this helps you. Btw 1.72 and 1.86 upgrades are available if you dont wanna install a custom rom

[Q] Phone gets unresponsive

Hey guys,
Sometimes my phone does not wake up again from "sleep".
It just does nothing. I've got to pull the battery.
I don't know when it happens -> when it gets hot or not.
Solution ?
It is a rooted phone with leedroid.
S-ON
Tnx
LeeDroid seems to be the problem. Over the past few days I have seen a few posts like this one.

Ok, I just flashed another rom. Lets see what that gives.

I had the same problem with stock froyo, starburst and insertcoin, so I suspect the sd card as the culprit!
hey,
My SD card is the stock what came with it.
It is a scandisk 4gb class 4 card.
Just installed : [ROM][19/04][Sense2.1 GingerBread]InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ v03 |Cam working
Still same problem
Other suggestions ? S-off maby ?
Can I access a log or something ?
Do you by any chance use smartass on setcpu or underclock to 128 mhz
No, no setcpu or anything else. Tried it one on my desire but then my phone froze even more.
Today it gets wors. It also freezes when i'm typing sms or scrolling trough pictures on my phone.
SD card issue ?
I have the same problem, both with the one that came with the phone (sandisk 4gb class2) and the new one (sandisk 16gb class6).
I ordered a Kingston 16gb class6, hope it is alright.
Are you sure it is the sd card that is causing the problem ?
I'm now running without sd card

I'm gonna check trough the day. About 5pm (gmt+1) I will tell you if its froze or not
The phone did not resets/crashed/freeze or anything.
I guess the problem is the SD-card.
I'm gonna go to the store and buy a 8gb class 4 card from Kingston.
Sandisk is crap apparently.

Before spending your money, do you have a button widget installed? You know, for turning on/off wifi-data-gps e.t.c.
Try uninstalling and see if there is any problem.
yes,
The powercontrol from htc
the 2G/3G button also from htc.
Since I removed the SD-card no freezes.
Those buttons are also here when my sd-card was out so ...
But tnx for the comment

Good news. I ordered a Kingston 16gb class4, hope it is o.k. too!
Ok, let me know !
Just arrived and I am disappointed by the speed. It is terribly slow, its write speed is less than 1,6mb/s!!!
Have you tested the card? What are your results when writing files?

[Q] Arc and memory card

I've checked XDA for a similar thread but I could not find one. Sorry if there's a similar thread though, I'm still an XDA noob
I am using a Kingston 8GB class 4 microSDHC card and most of my apps are stored on it + music, pictures, everything. After (doesn't matter here, it can be 1 hour, 1 day, 5 minutes) 1 hour of idling (standby), the card gets disconnected and reconnects ! I have access to my music and pictures but my apps would simply not work anymore! It's frustrating to reboot my phone just to be able to resume reading or resume my Cut The Rope fun. This can happen up to 4 times a day. It's happening from day 1 since I bought it Is buying another card an option? Is it the phone's fault? Am I the noob here?
u can test it by using another microsd.. if it goes ok, then its ur microsd problem..
if not, maybe either a phone sw or hw..

Thank you very much for your very fast reply. I will get a new memory card and will see how it goes. What memory card do you use? Does your Arc behave like mine?
Patriot 32GB Class 10 works fine for me.

I use a KingMax 16GB Class 10 card and have never experienced the issue you've described.
As for getting your apps back, I would imagine you'd need to reboot.

[Q] Help needed regarding SD card...

I bought a new sd card.. samsung 16gb class 6 .. I partitioned it using 4EXT recovery but it was giving me problems with seb's rom and Alex's bliss droid pvteam mod as well.. I tried gparted .. it didn't help too..
Seb's rom works for a while but later it started giving me freezing problems and Alex's bliss droid pvteam mod rom stucked even at the first boot..
Then i exchanged the card with the dealer for sandisk 16gb class 4... its giving me the same problems.. I can't seem to properly partition it i guess..
and weird part is that there is no such issue with my old 8gb sandisk class 2 card... both ROMs run smoothly on that one... I just can't figure out what's wrong..
Please help... I feel like I wasted my savings on a new sd card for nothing...

If you mean by "freezing" the phone takes seconds to respond to opening an app. Yes i had the same with my class4 danelec SDcard. Switched to Verbatim microSDHC 16 GB (Class 10) and now my freezing is gone. Only 1 app is still taking a 2 or 3 seconds to respond, and that is whatsapp.
I mean the total freezing of the phone.. not just any app.. the phone freezes... you just have to pull the battery out nothing else works...

I see two reasons for this:
a) the partitions on your sdcard are wrong (I had the issue when a vital ext4 partition was too small)
b) the sdcard itself?
Some hints:
a)
(make a nandroid backup before you change your sdcard partitions)
recheck your partitions
make them all primary
when you repartition the card, reflash
b)
I've used SanDisk 32GB class 4 for more than 1 year...reliability is excellent and speed is good. I rather spend more money on a good sd card than having the risk that the phone 'hangs' or i lose data from my phone.

SD Booster on Ace 2

Has anyone tried SD Booster on the Ace 2? I found a small mention of it in the gaming thread. I was just wondering if it's worth bothering with. I've got a 4GB Class 4 card. The reviews look pretty positive on the Play STore.
dont use it. i used it and it messed up my phone. i ever created a thread here about it and i still havent gotten my phone working because of it. it will seriously **** your phone up and is not worth it.and if anyone reading this knows how to fix it can they please reply on the thread above or send me a message please
me too
you mean like after intalling it and rebooting after takes a lot and when finally booted. evrything force closes.it happen to me also.
the thing that did was factory resret and recover a backup i have taken before.also only a factory reset will work
Interesting. I think I'll give it a miss then! I'm always wary of these alleged 'performance enhancing' apps. I guess for what might only be a small improvement in performance it's not worth the bother. Thanks for the replies.
Does anyone know of any performance boosters that are actually worth bothering with? I mean my phone runs okay, but it's just that temptation to squeeze every last bit of pwer out of it, ha.
for me the best thing i done was rooted it, removed all the crapware that came with it like the network apps and some of the samsung stuff. i installed an app called setcpu which automatically controls the speed of the cpu. set it as profile: screen off and max: 400000 or 200000 min:20000 priority: 100. it works great for me and i can get great times except when i use a 3g connection
i recommend just upgrading your ext sdcard to a class 10,(and swap storages after) would help. (that is, if you can get one.)
