I got this phone when it came out and put a 32gb class 4 sandisk sd card in it. All i stored was my music and it worked perfectly until about a couple of days ago where it completely stopped recognizing my card. Any suggestions?

Try reformatting it in you computer and if that don't work get a new card. It's a common problem, just look through this forum.

If it can't be read by your PC you may want to check with SanDisk on a possible warranty replacement. Most card carry a 3-5 year warranty so a 32GB card should probably still be under warranty. There are multiple threads in here about this issue.

Contact SanDisk right away, and keep the card. Sandisk announced recently of a recall on micro SD cards. Don't know all the details, but it did pertain to smartphones shorting out cards.

Did you read any of the other threads about this? No? There must be 10 of them.

Call SanDisk, and get a new one.
