Hi Guys,

I have had my Hero for about 2 months now, i recently bought a 16gb card for it and filled it with music.

I've started having a problem where random folders on my sd card get corrupted and the phone says it cant read them, i have to run a scan on the card and clean the corruption out for it to start working again.

it seems to happen about once every one or 2 weeks. I have also had the handheld crash twice, once it restarted itself and the last time it just froze.

the phone has had a couple of nasty bumbs that damaged the case a bit...

what do you guys think i should do? I have insurance on the phone but it will still cost

 

personally i didnt think they were that bad, they are both on opposite corners of the device denting both the plastic back and the metal front a bit... i might wait for the andriod 2.1 update and see if problems continue after that - the update will do a factory reset as part of the process wont it? also has any one else ever had their hero crash?

i did think of this... but i just done think i can go back to using my old mp3 player... its just... asking to much of me...

 

yeah i formatted the device and used the windows 7 scan disk tool on it and it says its fine, of course if i run the scan after the phone says its dodgy it picks up loadsa stuff.

i dont really have any other uses for the card so im not sure what else i could do to try to replicate the problem...

 

by the way i solved this! i uninstalled all the apps i didnt use often, there werent many of them but it seemed to solve it. i suspect it was Doom...
