Well, in the odd times I use Touch Player, its reading music off my SDHC card, so maybe thats why? Also, I use Kinoma Play far more often. I don't text while listening to music, so I can't verify if I have that issue or not.
Touch Player only shows album art if its embedded into the mp3,
AFAIK. Or, you could read that as, Touch Player shows all album art if its embedded into the MP3. Also, if your screen shuts off when Touch Player is updating the library, it IMMEDIATELY halts the progress, which would give the impression its not reading music off the SDHC card as mentioned to be a problem by some. Just a theory there.
I am still on my first Omnia, thnakfully. I am not trying to brag, honest. I just don't have all these problems.
Point in case with battery life. I didn't charge my phone for two days. I texted, played a few short games on it, browsed the net, and used it for phonecalls, and even after 48 hours, I still had a 40% charge on the battery. Due to the fact I disabled the battery warning (but it doesnt disable critical levels), I dont get a warning till about 20%.
That isn't to say I have never had problems. I have had my fair share of lockups and sleep problems, but I have always found a way to narrow it down and find the cause, and I stop using that application right then and there.
Heck, I even have to soft reset now and again. I had to soft reset last night due to random errors I was getting with various system files and opening apps. It had something to do with my bluetooth connection to my laptop, or maybe mobiler. Once I shut those down, the problem stopped, but I went ahead and reset, just in case.
Performance wise, I keep a close eye on my ram. I have also mapped ReclaimRam from Memmaid to a key on the phone, so if I do see sluggishness, I hit that, and it reclaims some ram. Keeps my phone running beautifully.
