Hello AF. I tried searching for similar threads, but found nothing.
I have a quite serious problem with my GN2. This first occurred some 2 months ago. Un-rooted phone. Suddenly upon restarting my phone, I get an error message saying "SD card is damaged". When clicking the message I get an option to format the SD card, and therefore losing everything on it. I try formatting the card, but this doesn't work, and I still get the same error message. I try putting the SD-card in the computer, which also tells me that I have to format it. I do so, but whatever I do, I can't get it to work.
Great. Not only did I lose all my files, but the phone actually made the whole card corrupt and unusable. This was a Sandisk 16GB card. Ok, what the heck, these things happen. Maybe I dropped the phone or something.
Yesterday, the same thing happened! My phone is now rooted, with stock ROM. Error message saying "SD Card damaged", I try to format it both on the phone and my computer, but to no avail. This card broken aswell. This was a 8GB Samsung SD-card.
So, have anyone here experienced similar incidents?
Does anyone have any idea how I can make the SD-card work again?
Does anyone know why my phone is a card-wrecker and if I can do anything about it?
Can I demand Samsung to reimburse me the 2 cards?
Will it help in any way notifying Samsung about this?
I have never in my life experienced a SD-card beeing broken like this, and I've had quite a lot of them over the years. I am now going to put a 256 MB card in the phone (this one I don't mind beeing broken), and see how long it takes until this happens again.
I hope no one has had the same problem as me and that it's just my particular phone that's the problem here. Thanks in advance for any replies
