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.

Just bought a BS 16GB card today until I get money to get a really good one..... its a class 4 .... cost me $32.... I need a card so I can finally reflash my phone....

I have had the same class 4 16gb for the last three phones I have had.
I use Kingston have never had issues with them.
I even took it out of my amaze and piped it into my Verizon work phone so I could have music, piped it back into the amaze no issues.
Never had any microSD fail.
I recomend Kingston 32gb class6 .

That's a lot of SD cards for anybody to go through. Question: are you unmounting the sd card before physically removing it? If you're not, that would explain the reason for the amount of faulty cards.

Not only that, often times you can do a full format on your pc and revive an sd card.

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.

Yes I have been unmounting them. I honestly don't know what the problem is. I keep buying cheap cards I guess....

    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.

    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.

    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.
