Hello forum members,
Anyone else experiencing issues with photos saved to SD card on the LG G5? I'm finding that, randomly, certain photos will 'corrupt' a day or so later. I can still see a full image thumbnail in the gallery app but upon expanding the image the majority of the photo will be covered by grey blocks or the full image will show briefly only to rapidly grey out in entirety. This is the second LG G5 on which I've had this issue. The common theory online is that this is generally a faulty/corrupt SD card issue but having purchased a new higher spec SD card has not solved the problem. I've also used the new card in my old LG G3 and saved pictures without a problem. Photos saved to internal storage are unaffected. I've tried all the usual routes; chkdsk to ensure that the SD card is not corrupt, formatting the card, reseating the card, remounting the card and clearing the camera app data and cache etc. but to no avail. I'm assuming therefore that this is some sort of issue with the phone itself and that, perhaps, the vendor I purchased from has a faulty batch. Contacted LG customer support two weeks ago about this issue but have heard nothing back. If anyone has any further suggestions as to what else I might try I'd be hugely grateful.
Many thanks.
