I've had my 16GB card close to full since shortly after I bought my Bold. Every time I either do a reboot/BP or disconnect the Bold from a USB connection to the computer, the card is scanned by the Bold, which usually took about 5 minutes.

Until .282, that is. It has been taking close to a freakin' half an hour for the Bold to scan the card ever since I upgraded to .282. Since the Bold gets sluggish when it is scanning the card, this can be a major pain.

Anyone else with a full/close-to-full 16GB card on .282 have this problem?

I have this problem with my 8gb card and I hate it. I can't imagine 16gb. Batt time for me is nice tho. I'm just praying for a new OS release.

.266 was good for me with the media card. I went back for a while. But batt like sucked

Taking more time to scan media cards is about the only pitfall of .282 os! If you want a faster scan but are willing to give up 3G&2G switch capability, downgrade to .266 or .247

Yup, takes a lot longer. Luckily it doesn't bother me too much.

That's a major pitfall, having to endure 30 minutes of a horribly sluggish Bold every time you do a BP or disconnect from the computer. I've been waiting for a new official or even beta OS to come out so I could avoid going backwards with a downgrade. Although I could easily give up the 2G/3G switchability.

I totally agree.
My 8 gig takes a long time but I love the 3g/2g option of 282
No OS I've used is perfect so you have to choose which flaws you're willing to deal with.

I guess it depends how often you do a restart/battery pull or connect to the computer. When I don't want to do these things because of the card scan time, it's a problem.

I have the same issue with .282 on my 16GB card. I have learned to deal with it because of the better app memory and 2G switch option.

My 8gb card takes a long time to scan also I actually have less stuff on it now and it takes much longer. I decided to disable the memory cleaning which does help a little bit and dont have to wait as long for the reboot and scan.

I've never had these problems on my 8gb Sandisk card. I'm not sure if it's the card or the fact that I'm running the "official" AT&T OS. Hmmmm....

I had hideous problems after installing a 16gb card a few weeks back - slow, laggy, would stop with errors after a few minutes of video playing. I was on .216 though, so went to .282 and everything went peachy. How long since you went to .282? Sometimes I wonder if Blackberry OS is the same as every other OS out there, benefitting from regular reinstals... i also stripped out all the junky apps I don't really use, now on original theme with just a few key apps. The card is bulging with mp3s and mp4s and if i do a battery pull the device restarts within 3 mins (was over 5 mins before) and scans the card within 3 mins after that (was up to 10 mins before). If it goes bad again, I'll wipe and reinstall .282 - I;d rather do that every month than have a sad, laggy bold!
