Ok so here's the problem...Whenever I try to transfer my music or any other medias from my MediaGo Library to my X10i, the whole system's speed drops signifcantly...After dismounting, I wait for it to autolock...And when I unlock it just goes to a Blank/Black Screen...Then from there on, nothing will happen and just wait for it to drain the battery...I've tried repairing it via PC Companion countless times but still nothing happens...I have to dismount the SD card just to return to normal...So does that mean that transfering/storing medias in my x10 is useless and cannot use it for multimedia purposes??
Never seen such an issue before here in xda try flashing stock 2.1.435 rom and if that doesnt help well im afraid that i wont be able to help you, its surely not an physical issue tho.

are you using any rom?
Nope just the official 2.1 update...Tried rooting it via SuperOneClick to have access to the speed of the SD but the rooting didn't work...I tried transferring 354 songs, 700MB worth of videos and 400mb worth of pictures and wait for it to load for 6 hours and it works..But when I add beyond 354 songs, the problem returns even if I wait for it for more than 6 hours...
Your using the 3d gallery correct?
Try get quickpic it's much faster.
Does the same thing happen when transferring files by dragging and dropping to the sd card?
You sure about the capacity of your sd card? I've bought a few fake 1s from ebay that when they get past 2gb full (of 32gb) it starts to cause problems. Search for fake flash/ fake sd cards to find tools to test.

Have a 8gb SD card and with all the 354 songs, 700mb videos, 400mb photos, it would easily consume 4gb worth of space but you have to wait 6 hours though for the phone to return back to normal...But when I add more songs, thats where the problem starts...I tried also deleting all the videos and photos and replace them with songs and add beyond 354 but thats where the problem occurs...
I had the same issue with another phnoe. Your SD card might be dmaged.. try to use another one. there are a lot of softwares to make a low level format an repair. hope it helps.. And try to clean the Micro SD pins with a rubber or isopropilic alcohol
Good luck
need your advice on this, I've just unbox my Galaxy Note few days ago, it keeps rebooting itself, one time I was copying data from the SD card to the other storage in the phone suddenly it reboots. I've had unknown reboots. Now using XXLA4 and seems doesnt solve the issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure all your applications are licated on internal SD

1 Does it happen after you load your applications or on a clean Rom as well? Could be a app that's causing it.
2 the xla 4 install could have been a bad flash. Did you check the MD 5?

so now at the moment my note is in constant reboot mode, don't know if I should let it, I haven't root my devices yet I tried every method available on this homepage but doesnt seem to work at all. I tried installing some games on my note this morning, it failed to download and ever since that it reboots all the time. Any suggestion?
Edit: Now it stops rebooting when I plugged in the USB charger but it says the temperature of the battery is too low or too high and it doesn't charged

welcome to the club, i am in the same boat.
my phone works fine all times without sd card but sometimes goes crazy (restaring / freezing constantly for 7-8h non stop!) with sd card in situ.
some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some on internal 11gb memory, some on external card. trying to figure out how to force on stock unrooted device to force all apps to internal memory (1.9gb or 11gb) to prevent these issues. or will try new card. my old card works fine on my htc desire. dont know if the htc folders present on sd card are causing soem issues
have tried with apps2sd pro and stock app mnager to move apps to internal 11gb memory. but the phone has a mind of its own and some stay on 1.9gb internal memory some go to 11gb internal memory and some go to external sd card and i cant seem to force moveable apps to internal 11gb memory only instead of sd card as mentioned in the other concurrent thread today on this topic.
Hi,
I also had similar problem like this. It appears that the Android Program at times cannot seem to access the Ext SD card program/s installed and that will cause a reboot and repeated so.
I really do not why this is happening? It will seem to work fine ant reboot when the Ext SD is removed - but those programs installed in the Ext. SD will no longer be accessible.
There is a hidden folder in the Ext. SD ".android_secure" which contain all the programs transferred to that Ext. SD. If you empty this folder of it programs by transferring them to your PC and reinsert the Ext. SD card, it will function normally and you can access your file like photos, videos, music, and ebooks. But you will not be able to access your programs in the Ext. SD.
I had tried un-installing the apps in the Ext SD and re-installing them into Phone memory it will work but it will not transfer to Int. SD (the 11 GB) and keep informing me there is no Ext SD. This of course will eat up all the 1.9 GB of the Phone memory, which is not what I had wanted. Although I still have a lot of memory in the Int. SD (about 8 GB) it will not transfer there, why I am not sure.
Can some of the Android expert please look into this problem and advise. Thank you.

Hi,
How do you make sure all the Apps are located in the Internal SD?
I have an Ext SD and some apps are transferred there. I cannot transfer these apps into the Int SD.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstall them without the Ext SD and then try to transfer to Int SD. It will not transfer and a message "you do not have an Ext SD card"
Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
I don't have any apps installed on the internal SD nor external SD, I notice this that everytime an app failed to complete (eg loading) it goes to looping reboots. The last one I was playing some game something called mission, cannot remember the game name, it was loading all the time then I decided to switch it off and turn it on again. It goes constant reboot. I need a good phone which doesn't rebooot all the time ...

Do you think this is worth to try? Since I am planning to go to Samsung today and saw some posts that it has possibility an error on the CPU. I have a couple of friends who also have the Note and nobody has the problem like I do ...
Edit: Oh and I did the factory wipe last night too but it still doing the reboots, finally I plug out the battery, plug it again and leave it for a half an hour then it stops rebooting ...

Its seems like you had an issue with leakage current on cpu. Its caused the battery drain fast and heat up. The only solution is to change the main board. Well, this is use to happen on htc phone. Not sure on sammy phone

yeah my phone also used to reboot after some time... the problem i found was the installation of an app called es file explorer... i disabled the app and it works flawlessly...so some of the app on your phone might be causing you the problem...

Well sent the phone back to Samsung, I think this is what happen to me, excited what the result would be from Samsung ..
Hi guys,
I need your help becasue this looks very weird to me. This is my situation: I have a I-9500 (Stock ROM 4.3, no root) with Kingston SD Card 16 GB Class 4. On the SD I keep only my music in one folder, nothing else. Also because I have a lot of music, more than 14 GB, the card is almost full. Sometimes the back of the phone where the SD slot is, becomes to warm up a lot and battery starts to drain very fast. It has happened to me in different situations (and also prior to update to 4.3): once I was indeed listening to music, so using the card, but another time I was taking photos and watching a video saved on the phone. Like I said, I save everything (ecxept music) on the phone.
To solve, I have to either take the card out or format it in the phone. Once I do either of them, the phone cools off and battery drain goes back to normal. Once it even went into a boot loop, before I realized I had to take the card out.
We have 3 options:
1. it's the phone
2. it is something in my music folder (I have photos of the cover albums, which shows up in Gallery... could this be the cause?)
2. it is the SD card brand, capacity, class... I read on many forums about problems with certain brands, even though, if I recall correctly, it affected mostly 64 GB cards...
I want to add I have a Note I-5100 with a Sandisk SD 32GB Class 4 and never had any problem, I want to swap the two, but I know that even if something happens, it will not be immediate and I prefer to have the big one in the note. If I knew changing SD would solve it, I would go for it immediately, but I would like to know what you think first. I have also read Samsung SD cards perform better in Samsung phones. Is this true?
Thank you very much for your help!
I just noticed that many album folders have a file named n7p_art, which is created by the music software (I use stock Samsung Music Player). could this be the cause?
So, I've seen quite a few posts now about Android System eating way more battery than it should, and I'd noticed the same thing on my phone since day 1. I tried turning features and settings on and off, disabling apps etc etc all to no avail, but I've finally cracked it
Format your external SD card via the phone settings, and use Kies to re-sync your content. Mine was originally formatted as FAT32 and I'd dragged and dropped the music and photos onto it via my computer. I don't quite understand the mechanism responsible, but this seems to be the source of my phone's unusual battery drain. Android System battery utilisation has dropped markedly, and battery life is greatly extended. I noticed the media scanner working for a few hours after I initially inserted the SD card, however after formatting and reloading via Kies the media scanner didn't run, yet all the content shows up where it should. I can only guess that some process responsible for indexing the media was running amok? Either way it's now able to sit in flight mode overnight without dropping a single %, whereas previously it'd drop at least 6%. In active use the display now always sits at the top of the battery use table rather than Android System, usually by a large margin :victory:

Much, much better. Oddly the Gallery app now shows more album artwork that was always located on the external SD card, but obviously was not being properly indexed. So far today I've got 3.5 hours of screen-on time and still have 58% battery capacity. Previously it'd have been that low with no screen time.

Couple more questions thn I'll stop annoying you :silly:
1. What's your Android System vs Screen now in terms of usage of the battery (% wise). And how was it before you did this little trick?
2. How should I go about putting everything back onto my SD Card (backups, pics. apps, etc.)? I've never used Kies before so I have no idea what to do lol.
3. All you did was go to settings, then storage and hit format sd card, correct?

You're not annoying me, honest, that's why I shared my results here ;P
1: Android System is currently 13%, screen is 29%. Previously Android System would be over 30% no matter what and often much higher if I didn't use the phone much that day.
2: Copy everything off your SD card onto your computer using whichever method you currently use. In Kies there's a file browser icon that lets you browse the contents of your phone, as well as copy things to and from it. You don't have to use the automated sync tools in Kies, you can simply drag and drop using the Kies browser.
3: Yup, that is correct. Not sure if it's maybe formatted using exFAT now, but I believe that's Android's preferred format these days.
I think I formatted my new SD card when I put it in the phone but not sure.
Is there any way to check and see what the card is formatted to? exFAT? Fat32? It was a brand new Samsung card.
I'm not really seeing bad battery life at all just curious.

Even dumber, you didn't read the article ? It is indeed related to battery drain and is a common bug in kitkat
This is REALLLYYY a PITA but as of right now I'm pretty sure it actually worked. So if your Android System is taking up 25%+ and higher than your screen for taking up battery (in Settings--->Battery stats), then try this. As of right now my screen is #1 and Android System is only at 15%!
**Try this while your charging your phone to 100% to see if it actually worked!!**
1. Download and install Kies3.
2. Copy all contents of your ext SD Card to your computer.
3. Go into Settings-->Scroll down to System and click on Storage.
4. Format your ext SD Card by pressing "Format SD Card".
5. Go into Kies3 and and copy all of your contents back onto your SD Card.
6. Once that process is finished, download SD Scanner.
7. Go into the SD Scanner app and scan the internal storage (default one) and ext SD Card (/storage/extSdCard <-- must be typed exactly like that).
8. Reboot your phone once your phone has hit 100%.
9. See if it worked for you, hope this helps, and if it doesn't then I'm sorry but it worked well for me!

It made the Android System battery drain go down, and instead of Android System being the #1 battery drainer, screen is!
But what does it actually do? Put media scanner to sleep (something that was a HUGE problem on the s3 - media scanner always running)?

It scans ALLL of your media for you (hence why I said to scan internal, then your ext Sd Card). Thus eliminating the need for Android to scan your media.
Pretty sure media scan would still run tho...no? Especially if ure taking pics, adding music, etc etc.

Noticed this method of Wipe SD Card in another thread, seemed to have worked for me as well. Now battery drain most from screen.
I'm getting terrible Android System drain as well. I've greenified everything and battery life is noticeably improved, but AS drain is still top battery hog. Guess I'll try removing my SD card and if that works I'll wipe it. Pretty frustrating though that this is an issue

I'm in the process of moving around 50gb of files from the card to my PC and then will go back tomorrow and do this. It is actually high time that I re-organize all of the thousands of images on my card anyway. I think I'll store them by quarter to keep to only a few thousand per folder. Thanks!
This doesnt work. After you start an app or scan folders, for music player for example, Android OS and Android System are right back at the top
