[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
It's doing a media scan. The same thing will happen when you connect it via USB and then disconnect it. If you have seven 4GB MKV files that'll take a fraction of the time compared to thousands of 5,000KB MP3 files. I have a 32GB G-Tab 10.1 and it bogs the same way people are describing when I load it with content for a trip. It also pops up "memory low, remove unnecessary files" warnings starting about 5GB before the storage is actually full. This isn’t any different than people getting bogged down when they have thousands of SMS stored on their phones. And that even happens on Nexus phones. All is not perfect in the land of Android.
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
na the machine never stabilizes, i done it once to see if it was just an indexing problem - 48hrs later the phone was still non responsive and was red hot.

there is defo something wrong with the devices software that cause it too effectly loop when the sd memory fills. also i could replicate the problem on other devices but they always start running normally after a while
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
What type of content do you have loaded on your phone? I'll fill mine up later because I'm curious now. I've got about 20GB on it split between small files and some large ones and other than the media scan lag at boot I haven't noticed any slow downs. HTC is doing some funky stuff to get away from MTP so maybe that's the issue.

I thought of something else. The XL has only 10GB of user available storage so I'm sure a lot of users have it close to max'd out. They haven't reported any issues. So it's more likely the amount of files being handled than it is bumping up against the physical storage limit.
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
that was just a few movies, i like to fill it up when we go away at weekends so was uploading a load of movies and tv programs to catch up when sitting around in the evening.

the only other media i have on the device is audible.com books which wont get indexed as they are not files native to android.

ive given up loading movies on the device now and dusted of the galaxy tab to load up which works much better but poorer screen.

i certainly wont ever entertain phones with integral non removable storage / battery ever again no matter how good the phone is. When the phone freezes up there is no way out of it, it can can take over 15mins to connect to the computer just to remove some of the data, loads of missed calls, - just completely unusable. if the card was removable it would have been a few seconds to remove the data and i would have had my phone back.
[HTC One X] martijnpolman:
I had the same issue when i filled up my device with movies, 10 mkv files at 1,7gb each
[HTC One X] jargalus:
Same for me. If I go below 3gb the phone is very slow.
[HTC One X] huwwhyment:
i get exactly the same issue, anyone got a fix for this yet? i just synced my music and is became unusable. usually by deleting the music it works again, this time its still slow despite having loads of free space now. another reinstall coming up. this is becoming very tedious
[HTC One X] aveyz:
Found that problem too, and as i deleted som music and stuff i forgot on the sd-card it was running smooth again...

Really wierd tho.
[HTC One X] E_Goldstein:
Really.....

We need a thread to explain common sense.

Fill a hard drive up and search for a file take longer to find it.

Go eat a huge dinner and you will slow down. There really is some stupid ass threads in the one x section.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I didn't realise that the storage in the phone was a mechanical drive that was affected by fragmentation.

Learn something every day.
[HTC One X] grinder19:
It's due to the sd storage uses FAT32 this format is old now and it always had an issue of any hard drive that once reaches a certain limit it would slow down as it has to search longer to find what it needs incidentally it's not how full the storage more the amount of files on it. Example. If you put 7 MLV movies on it and fill the drive it wouldn't slow down but if you put 3000 songs on it then it would go slow. I tested this theory out myself on several storage devices and results were always the same. A lot of newer sd cards which use HCSD storage loaded quicker than this phone. I don't know why they don't just use NTFS instead you wouldn't have this issue then but linux struggles with that format

[HTC One X] svenvv:
They should go with EXT4 for all android phones. I've been using EXT4 on my transformer and it is both faster and less limited than FAT32. Microsoft should just add some support for other filesystems. Not to mention that the phone's internal filesystems are already EXT
[HTC One X] jonathanyong:
Jesus. And I thought the hox had enough problems already.

Surely there's a process running that explains the heat and lack of responsiveness? Doesn't anyone have logs of the Cpu activity at the time of the slowdowns? A simple script to kill the process would work as a temporary workaround until HTC release a fix.
[HTC One X] grinder19:
It's not really a process its when you first boot the device it checks the sd storage for any errors, this is part of the android os but if sd full of files it can take upto 72hrs for this scan to complete and this uses all the CPU N memory hence phone is unresponsive. Disabling the check might cause corruption I think a work around might be to partition the sd storage and use ext format to put all your files and leave enough storage for the operating system and apps

[HTC One X] audiobookman:
that still don't explain why it works perfectly ok on other phones, my desire hd my wife is currently using i filled up from empty in one hit just to prove the one x is the problem, she has a 32gb card in place FAT 32 partion (approx 28gb), i put 100s of music mp3s on there and a few movies with 10 audiobooks and her phone then re booted, then was running normally (under 2mb left on the card!!) no loss of performance.

if i do the same with the hox the machine locks up solid and you cannot even mount or remove media from the device to speed it up again.

for a phone this is a major problem especially as the media is non removable. it shouldn't be this way plain and simple - it really shouldn't lock up the main features of the phone, you should be able to use it for calls etc while its indexing in the background as it stands the phone is useless as it indexes in the foreground.

Also why does it only do it when you have 1gb or less on the card? i can fill my card to the brim barring 1gb with small mp3 files and the phone will run as normal, as soon as i go under the 1gb its unusable, the same goes with films, i can fill it with films which should index very quickly because of file sizes but as soon as it goes under 1 gb mark it freezes again.

BUT!!!

if i download a torrent or files from the cloud directly to the phone i can run the space out and it will run normally!!!, i tested this using a few files from my dropbox and have left 26mb left on the phone and shes running fine,

really strange fault imho
[HTC One X] grinder19:
I'm not 100% sure why it does it with this phone I did an analysis on it and I believe it depends on the software HTC have created a bug in which files copied from the pc are linked to HTC USB sync software so when when it tries to scan the sd storage it tries to open up HTC sync first which triggers that to scan the sd at the same time this is what causes the slow down fat32 is not designed to do 2 scans at once so phone virtually grinds to a fault. This is why If you just download torrent and files onto the phone directly you can fill the sd card no Probs as HTC sync is not used in this instance hence no lag. There needs to be a way to load the sd card to pc without HTC sync I believe cwm recovery does allow you to connect USB mass storage to pc this should in theory stop the bug. I can't test this as my pc overheated so I'm currently waiting for new processor to rebuild it :)

sent from a powerhouse :) HTC one X quad core nvidia beast :)
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
So the only real workaround atm is to use the cloud, has this been reported to HTC, when I spoke to the about it I just got the usual factory reset blah blah blah.

So rule of thumb for me is to copy over the main bulk of my files on the computer and then put the rest on skydive / dropbox or google drive. Then use es file manager to copy over any other files you want on the phone, slow I know but it works for me.
[HTC One X] VIIRU§:
Think of ur phone internal storage as a computer hard drive. If the hard drive is full data transfer speeds get slow.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
That's because fragmentation goes up and seek times go up. That just doesn't apply to the memory in the phone.
[HTC One X] grinder19:
I managed to borrow my fiancee laptop to test mount USB storage in cwm recovery and filled my phone leaving just 1mb and phone still running smoothly so my theory was right in terms of connecting phone to pc without using HTC sync so it's HTC sync causing the issue. It would be gd if there was a sd card booster app that could defrag the storage and check for errors.

sent from a powerhouse :) HTC one X quad core nvidia beast :)
[HTC One X] K0v4L:
So why you guys using HTC sync for transfer files to your hox internal storage? I don't have HTC sync on my laptop, if I want to load hox with music or other files I just connecting usb and choosing "disc drive" from menu and that's it.
[HTC One X] grinder19:
The phone automatically opens it in background even when you don't use it on the pc this is because it tells the pc what is connected and why it's connected, I don't think you can disable it either

sent from a powerhouse :) HTC one X quad core nvidia beast :)
[HTC One X] Pitchb3nd:
Same problem here, I loaded my phone with some videos and it became unusable, but 24h after filling up the storage it improved by itself...

Now I have 1G of free space and it runs ok.

[HTC One X] mehras1991:
I don't know why everyone find something wrong with One X, I've the same device & 2days ago while taking some pics I found out my device is 100% full, & it wasn't slow at all, then I tried to run some heavy stuff to see how much further it goes with a full memory & the thing is it still was running normal.

I have the very same device & I donno why some other One Xs get so problematic in some ways
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
Solved, well workaround!!!!

After another member mentioned that for some strange reason the machine runs htc sync when disconnecting.

I decided to try this.

i filled up my phone and it currently haves about 20mb left from my computer.

MAKE SURE ALL FILE TRANSFERS ARE COMPLETE!!!

Now DO NOT disconnect the phone, just hit restart on the phone so it reboots!.

once re booted it should run fine, i think the reboot stops the htc sync app locking up the phone.

i know its not ideal but it seems to work until htc fix this stupid issue.
[HTC One X] grinder19:
That's a better work around than using recovery everytime :) I wonder if we can remove HTC sync until HTC fix this bug

[HTC One X] fjlour:
I've experienced this too, I now have 600MB free, and after a 30min boot it looks like it has cooled down and it's now more responsive, but still not as much as it was when it had 4GB free.

I'm uplading a video to show you how unacceptable this is for a piece of high end tech in 2012. Regular users will not understand that the phone is scanning the internal memory files for errors and they will assume that it's broken.

Joe Doe goes into the settings page to check if he has enough space to load some movies, "oh great, 2GB free, that will do", he uploads 1.5GB of files, and after he removes the USB cord, caboom, phone interface gets frozen as ice and the back get hot as lava!

Joe Doe regrets he didn't listen to his friends at the office that told him to get an iPhone, which by the way, kind of works.

This is a total failure by HTC.

Here's the video
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Iphones can't even mount usb storage can they? so I heard, never owned one.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
iPhones sync over iTunes and the only thing exposed to file management is the photo folder via MTP.

I figure the solution here for anyone rooted would be to disable the HTC Sync apk by renaming its extension, but for anyone else that is un rooted I guess rebooting the phone will have to suffice.
[HTC One X] averygagaanroid:
Because HTC messes up, again.
[HTC One X] zombiefly:
since I got my HOX, i've had this problem intermittently. I copied a load of mp3 over via usb and the phone nearly melted and wouldnt work for 24hrs, rebooting randomly, unresponsive etc. That was when it had sense on it. It now has CM10 on it and it's doing the same thing. Its nearly a full day later and it's still not right, apps are taking an age to open and anything that needs to access the sd storage slows down massively. i have 4.4gb of music and 15.5gb free on USB storage.

The comments in here about not using HTC sync are a bit of a red herring as CM10 has no HTC sync, the problem appears to be with the actual phone itself TBH. i've removed all music apps and tested and it STILL does the same annoying thing.

Just to recap, are we saying that if I transfer files via USB and immediately reboot the phone after transfer, this stops this craziness? I REALLY wish i'd never bought this disaster of a phone. My HTC Desire v1 had a 16gb sd card in it and never once did this. it's pathetic...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inspiron41:
I thought it was a refresh button, but it's actually wifi secure connection button. I don't think I ever saw this in ICS.

I never saw it in ICS, I actually never checked WiFi options so I haven't seen it in ICS, I thought at first time it was refresh button too.. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vinuneuro:
Someone recently posted the led control code is wrong in the phone, and it sure shows. In any app other than stock ones, the led color is wrong and it stays solid instead of blinking. Really getting annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drksilenc:
why is it wrong? it works fine with stock maybe its just different because its a full spectrum led?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Its sorta true. I mean my GO SMS PRO just stays solid tricolor! I don't mind it really at the moment. When light flow is fix I will prolly play around with that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dirrtyswan:
I don't think its wrong or broken...its a new phone, new API.

I think applications just aren't coded to make the proper calls to make this work properly.

Ever see updates from the Play store that says "Now working on Motorola Droid 3" etc...?

My guess is we just have to wait for something like that for our phones.

In the mean time, I do agree that it is annoying that our LEDs won't blink properly, or that my notification light has to be yellow, or purple for text messages, haha.

:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ayeitschris:
Mine is not even working at all when I receive a notification or text <_<. It only turns on when I'm charging the phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TadMorose:
Go to Settings - LED indicator and check "Missed event"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] t.d.k:
So let's just forget about 3rd party apps for a sec, I'm sure they'll update eventually (Handcent SMS, FB etc... would be nice to pic the color and blink for each).

What about stock apps and functionality, am I correct in assuming that even using the stock SMS, email, and phone apps that you cannot customize the LED color or have it blink?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
You can use 3rd party apps, like go sms to change the color, but its broken. I have a thread floating here that lists what color you 'choose' and what color is actually shown on the device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DannySGS3:
I had issues with go SMS as well it just made some random colors then I just reverted to stock colors
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Baldilocks:
GoSMS notifications are definitely solid. I just keep emailing them and asking them to update for the U.S. versions of the GS3.

LED notifications are fine on the International version.

Just in case you are open to other players, there are a few here to choose from.

If XDA has a development section for your model phone, then some of the rom builders can probably give you the files you need.

[HTC Titan] Hazeno:
Hey guys after finally getting my insurance payout for my first Titan I can gladly report im back with another Titan from play.com. There are a few issues though.

UPDATE : Stuck on stock 7720 that came with the phone. It was a sim free unbranded phone. Zune refuses to find an update and says im upto date. Well I was on 81xx on my old unbranded UK phone so I know this is wrong. Any thoughts?

WiFi : my WiFi is absolutely terrible. Connection is fine, strength is great. But browsing pages, metrotube, an IE use just fails either completely or after 1 page. Also noticed IE will load 1 YouTube video then when I click play on the next nothing happens. Its as if the cache is full maybe? This is with DATA CONNECTION OFF. I only use data when WiFi is playing up.

HTC Youtube app : as most people know the app is removed from the marketplace. I knew this when I had my first titan. But as I had that pre installed every update I ran never removed it. Are there any cabs for it around / xaps? Will I need to be dev / interop unlocked?

Cheers Terry
[HTC Titan] meandu229:
I had a problem with Wifi abit like that, which went away when I flashed to a custom from but obviously YMMV

And for htc youtube app you would need to be unlocked to side load, best bet is to flash a custom rom then you can side load xaps to your hearts content. Unless you have a Microsoft developer account This will also put you on 8773.98 or similar.
[HTC Titan] Hazeno:
Thanks for the confirmation :)

I have managed to get 8773.98 using the Disable internet while checking for updates technique to force the update.

One question, Is it better to do a factory reset of my phone after doing such alot of updates to my phone? Or will functionability be fine without i have heard mixed responses on this.

Haven't check the WiFi on this update yet but im still getting 'connection error' on facebook whether im on Wifi or Data, this annoyed me back when i updated my previous titan and i see it hasn't been fixed.

Now, I have been looking to 'unlock' my titan anyway. I have read if im on 8773 i can't use HSPL anymore is this true? Is there any other 'unlock' method that isn't budget blowing. Not really keen on unlocking my phone just for the HTC Youtube app. As i only want this because of Aesthetics :P
[HTC Titan] NeuroXT:
1. You can do a factory reset if you want, but that will lose everything (as in SMS and game saves). Its your choice.

2. The WiFi/3G problem is an OS problem, nothing we can do about it except only turn on one connection at a time.

3. You can't use HSPL because 8773 comes with a 4.6 bootloader update which has higher security. If you want an alternative youtube app, metrotube is the way to go.

I was in the same boat as you, but I chose not to tinker with it if its working. The WiFi 3G isnt affecting me at all, it uses WiFi when I'm at home, I don't turn it off but I do go out everyday and it handles connections just fine. I have gone to 8773 but it was laggy on my Titan (like avatar animation is sluggish while moving, and doing a factory reset causes the capacitive buttons unresponsive) so I'm back to 8107.

If you want to go further you can install custom ROM, but the thing that I'm afraid about if future updates (I know, WP8's out of the closet but that doesn't mean we're not getting anymore future updates). The only caveat is you have to make sure the next update works with the custom ROM, else it'll either brick or broken.
