Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Link2SD

So, I rooted and Link2SD works fine, until I shut off my phone or sometimes it automatically shuts off by itself.
And the it bricks my phone.
It's done that since the getgo. I finally reflashed and decided not to download Link2SD, and it's been working fine for a week and a half now. Before, it would brick within a few days. Am I the only one? is it something I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
 
Maybe putting some app on the SD card that bricks the phone when it tries to run from the SD card? Not all apps can run from the SD card.

Or running an app that's on the SD card when you have the phone connected to the computer and the SD card set as USB storage? (The phone can't access the card if the computer is, so it's linking to "blue sky" - an app that's not there.)

SD cards are for storing data. Running apps from them is something that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It was never designed to ne an extension of internal storage.
 
I am not able to use links2sd. If I use it I will get the insufficient storage error even when I have plenty of room left. The only way for me to get around it is to wipe it with a factory reset and reroot and re-cwm.
 
Only issue i had with Link2SD was due to a faulty sd card. I believe the F3 requires 32GB or less. Not sure of an easy way to test an sd card but might be one thing to look into.

I have a 64GB card in mine, and the phone recognizes it and shows the correct size

Not saying it won't work but I know initial specs indicated 32GB max. I remember some users experiencing issues using 64GB. Was just a suggestion for something else to consider.
