Swapped them out for other brands and the problem disappeared. I’ve never flash modded a 3rd or 4th gen but have done lots of 5/6/7 gens and every time, bar one, that I used Sandisk cards the skipping problems or freezing after sync/on boot up appeared. They’re not all bad, but if it’s getting a random amount of time into a playlist and begins to skip, freezes up randomly and or doesn’t boot properly that’s a symptom of a dodgy Sandisk card. Sandisk is just a poor match for this very specific job.Īs above Sandisk cards will most likely be the issue. So I'm pretty sure this fixed it, and I ordered and installed the same card into my own device, and have so far not seen skipping on that either (only 2 hours of use so far tho). The Sandisk would last anywhere between 2 and 50 songs before skipping, the Evo went through over 500. (PS I also asked this in another community a few minutes ago, sorry if that's illegal on Reddit or whatever)Īfter some recommendations on here and elsewhere, I decided to pick up a Samsung Evo (red) 128gb micro SSD, and installed it into my friend's one, and after using it several hours I can say that it never once skipped like the Sandisk does, and I even spent a couple of hours skipping through shuffle tracks.

So I'm curious if anyone in here can confirm this, and perhaps recommend any other micro SDs that don't do this skipping thing. The second I opted for the simpler iFlash board option with a micro SD in it.īoth exhibit a problem where they freeze up and skip songs every now and then, and after doing some reading I'm finding anecdotal evidence that SandDisk and iFlash just don't play nice and cause this skip. The first, I used an iFlash compact flash adapter and generic 50pin adapter with a micro SD in it. I've now modified two 4th gens, one with 256gb and one with 128gb for a friend.
