Help sd card problems

[seanto]

I have a 32gb sd card in my handset and when it is in it causes crashes and also the firmware shows as custom and when it's removed it shows normal and crashes stop? Dodgy card? Or is there more to it?

Try factory resetting the card. If that doesn't work then the card could be defective, which does happen.

maybe re-format the card in a computer first

then install in phone - and let the phone format it - install your data.

I don't know but I would suspect you can get a cleaner start using some PC/Linux hardware to format and scan it, than the phone has capability for.

I could be wrong - just a though.

have to ask though - how old a card, what make - what class rating?

I had read years ago that flash memory card do have a finite life to them - just like SSD's and while they've gotten better. if it's 5 years old and built off the previous tech chips - then it might well be dieing.

The card is new, bought April 14 32gb, not sure of the rating on it, should have known better buying off eBay? Thought I was doing ok by buying the third cheapest haha
