hiccups in audio/video playback

[benoitvm]

I have unexpected very short hiccups every 1~2 minutes or so, when playing music files (wma) or video files (wmv, mp4,...)

The problem is the same with the HTC player and the WM player

There is nothing special about the files: the same files used to play without problem on my old Qteq S100 (Imate Jam)

The files are located on a hi perf 4 GB microSD card

I tried all sort of things: cold start, all wireless off, etc....nothing helps

Any idea ?

I start thinking that since this seems to be an uncommon issue, it may be caused by a program or a service on my device: what do you recommend to try discovering the culprit (the application eating too much CPU in the background ?)

I'd first recommend taking everything off your storage card and formatting, try that then get a demo of PocketPlayer for music give a test, videos encode to device resolution so as to stop so much load on card.

I have good reasons to believe it is not related to the card, but that there is a process that causes occasional CPU usage spikes: what tool/program should I use to monitor CPU usage & try to find the offending process ?
