I have yet to revive an SD card with a format, but then again, I've only lost one sd card and never tried that. Good to know for the future.

In order to revive an SD card through a format ..... it has to be recognized....... when the card is no longer recognized.... that's when you might as well throw it away!

Can you format your card and put some files on it using you computer then put it back in the phone then open up any explorer app on your phone and move those files around. The more the better and pics are preferred. Go trough them using gallery and report back. I'm thinking that if the sd card crashes while inside your phone it might be a faulty port that's messing them up.

EDIT: aaaaand fail.. for some reason I thought that your computer recognized the faulty card. But just in case it does give it a shot. And btw the higher class it is the faster that card dies. I would recommend class 6 which is fast enough to watch a 60 fps movie. With the HTC amaze we have enough onboard storage to record few hours of hd videos that you can just transfer after you record if that's why you are going for such fast cards.

This is just some B.S. I guess I'm just gonna have to keep buying cards and doing frequent backups of my card. But the problem with the last one was, I wasn't doing anything at all with it. All it was trying to do was open gallery.... that's it! It was having loading content that was NOT being played OR recorded!

Have you always had this problem, or is it just with your device?

    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.

    go to newegg.com they usually have pretty good deals. i bought my 8gb card and another 4g card for my car, almost 2 years ago and both cards are still working.

    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?

    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 have an Adata 16 gig class 10 SD card that eventually went bad on me. They are supposed to have a lifetime warranty so I'll see if I try that.
    That microsd gave tons of headaches. My Droid 2 would start acting funny once it went bad. It would freeze, pics would show up sometimes and sometimes now. Lots of forcecloses and my computer would read and read it. I pretty much had to reformat it to get it working again but a few days later the problems would pop up.
    I went ahead and bought a samsung 32 gig class 10 once I got my Amaze. So far so good this thing is even supposed to be water proof with a 5 year warranty. It was around $37 from Fry's.
