Hey guys,

 

I recently bought a Nokia 5 and switched from my Lumia 640 to it. I've had a pretty annoying problem with the storage though. I inserted my old SD card and formatted it as internal storage so I could move some apps to it. Unfortunately, since moving them to the SD card, occasionally these apps will slow down to a crawl and become nearly unusable. It's not a constant thing, and when they work ok, they work really ok. But every so often they'll have that problem that slows down most of my phone. They seem to work fine again once I move them back into the actual internal storage of the device.

 

I understand that SD cards are not as fast as internal storage, but with a Class 10 SD card, there seems to be nothing to justify such a tremendous slowdown. It's a Kingston 16GB card, btw. Could this somehow be a problem with the card itself or the phone or is it natural? Should I spring for an UHS-3 card or something?

Could be a bad card.  Have anther SD card to test with?  Would be the quickest way to tell if it is the card.  Also, any issues copying files to/from the SD card if plugged in to a PC?

I ended up buying a new SD card and it turns out it fixed all my problems. Everything is working great now.

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.

      At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.

      I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.

      Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
