It sounds like your phone is damaging them if you've gone through that many

The other 2 were damaged by my G2x .... I just got my Amaze. And the thing is.... is that I make sure I put it on "Charge Only" when I wanna take the phone from the usb cord..... try to prevent crap like this from happening!!!!!

I am usually so careful!

This SD card stopped working when I went into my Gallery!

Is it formatted to a FAT32? That will probably save you from most headaches. I've had my 16g for almost 2yrs with no probs. I save tons of crap on mine. Movies, music, roms, apps...etc I haven't had a problem as of yet.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

did any of them happen to be sandisks, directly from sandisk website? I have NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH sandisk, IT MUST BE authentic though. Used a micro sd card for the past 3 years, still works.

depending on what you use your micro sd for it depends on what class you should get, a higher class is not always better for your purpose. A higher class has better sequantial read write, while a lower class has a better read write. If you transfering files all the time, I'll stick to class 2 or max 4. If you're trying to shoot movies more of the time get a higher class. there's been a topic on classes of microSD, honestly you don't need anything more than a class 2, it has plenty more write speed than is used by our phone to shoot HD video.

ALSO lower classes are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less prone to get corrupt. keep that in mind next time.
Devices:
HTC Amaze white: rooted S-OFF CM nightly | 4EXT recovery |
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white: Stock rooted honeycomb 3.1 | 4.0.0.4 CWM

If I have helped you please don't forget to click thanks

SanDisk is ALL I will EVER buy.

I've git a 32GB class4 that I bought before realizing I need a class6 for 1080p video recording almface: but I've had no issues. I've also had an 8gb class 2 that's NEVER had issues (other than writing really slow) and I've had it for yrs now

I have an ADATA 32GB card that I bought from Newegg back in September that has worked great for me. I used it in my HD2, and now in my Amaze. It is a class 4 card, but it has worked great for even 1080p recording on my Amaze. I'll test the speeds of the card and give the results later.

I picked up a class 10 Kingston 16gb on sale about 2 years ago and it's been working great. Loaded with movies, music, games, roms, etc... Use it everyday.

I had an 8GB which was Class 4..... and it was NOT SanDisk. I shoot a lot of high quality pictures and HD Vids.... That's mostly what I need my SD card for.... that and keeping my Rom downloads... I am so mad!

Doesn't lower class mean it will take a phone forever to read a 16gb class 2????
