I picked up an Aino today, and in general I love the evolution of the operating system.

But I'm having one problem. I have about 10 GB of mp3s on my 16 GB memory card. My old C905 and K850 handle this card perfectly, no major slow downs aside from while scrolling in long artist lists etc.

But when I put the memory card in my Aino, once it's done "updating" the music, the whole phone gets extremely slow. Even when the Media app isn't playing, it'll take 5 seconds to open messages etc. If I remove my memory card this goes away.

Anyone else seeing this?

I suppose you are not that keen on formatting it in Aino, just to see if it makes a difference.

Transfer all your music back to your pc then format the card in the phone itself then put all your music back on. See if that helps. I had problems before with memory cards then formatted it and it was fine

Not sure what happened but my Aino 8GB card said it was 34GB (!) and was ridiculously slow - so backed everything up, formatted on the phone and copied back. Now instead of taking 20 seconds to save a photo, it's 2 or 3 seconds.

And on my Satio, one of the manuals on the memory card (PDF) was corrupt and only zero bytes and locked!

How are these cards going out of the factory?!

I see you've swapped to a 16GB card, which I've now done (from the I8910 HD) but I am thinking of reformatting in the phone in case this is going to cause problems.

SanDisk will be releasing their 32GB cards in January - I wonder how these phones will cope. They'll definitely run them, but how fast?

I think you will need format the mem stick and see if it solves the problem, if the problem persists then it means the mem stick is most probably corrupted. The tech support at timtechs advised me to do do this and it worked for me. I hope this helps you.

I had the problems on both c510 and the w995 whereby pics would take ages to save and video would stop recording half way. After formatting it was fine. Jmcomms that's strange i never heard of a 34 giga byte card but only 32
! I have heard people say strangely that Sandisk cards are much faster than Sony ones. Strange considering we put them in Sony phones

Formatting the memory card was the first thing I did, sorry I didn't mention it.

I left the phone on overnight and in the morning it was fine. It seems like it does some kind of indexing/updating even after it's done saying "Updating" in the media player, but once that is done it's OK.

I also noticed, that when inserting an SD card, the phone starts updating the whole media library, and that takes a while and slows down the device a lot while doing so. If you had 10 gb I imagine it took a while for the phone to update everything, and that's why you had problems.
