My phone seems to be freezing a lot more over the past month, and I'm wondering if it's due to my SDHC card only being a Class 2. It is a 16GB Sandisk and about 10GB full. Phone is frequently freezing on unlock, that is when I slide the unlock to the right it sticks for 5-10 seconds. I will also get freezes using Dolphin and some other apps as well. I've moved most of my apps to the SD card, and thinking that because it is a slower card and getting full it's causing the freezes. I'm thinkin of getting a Class 6 card as I hear this is as high as an Android will recognize. Thoughts?

Is a higher Class SDHC card important?

You freezes could be caused from an app that's behaving badly on the uSD card. Make sure you have all widget apps,apps with widgets, on the the system,not the uSD card. Once that is confirmed, make sure you put any Launchers and there associated apps you might have downloaded on to system. If still freezing, start moving any browsers back to system.
The amount of apps that you have on the uSD card will cause it to take longer for it to boot up from a power off state, but will not cause system freezes. An app that doesn't act well on the uSD card on the other hand will. An app that is corrupt or just lousy might cause the same affect.
Your 10GB of info, of which less than 1GB is probably apps(if you have less than 100 apps on the uSD card), on a 16 GB uSD card would not be considered full.
I have had some bad experiences with the Sandisk products. Has to do with the way there were designed to read info.
If after checking every app that might be suspect by deleting it then seeing if system is OK or the same,and you still are having problems. Try transferring the apps to the stock uSD card and then installing it and see if you still have the problems.
If you still have problems,then take the phone back for exchange,or call Virgin Mobile.

There is another thread on here recently about freezes as number of users are experiencing it including myself...although as of a late it hasn't been a problem. As mentioned in the above post, I suspect an App I had installed was being a problem child.
As for the class of a SD card, that only matters for writing, not reading. I doubt a higher class card will solve you're freezing.

I have a class 10 16gb card and it works fine. Just FYI.

Yeah I thought class 10 was the highest Android was able to use. Or maybe it's running it like a class 6??
