s5 spaz out - SD card wipe and strange behaviour - is it dying?

Hi guys,
A few days ago my s5 had an 'episode'. My micro SD suddenly stopped working (now phone or computer doesnt recognise it) and from that point now a few strange things happen:

• My battery seems to drain really fast
• When the phone is locked, if i push the home / power button it now takes 4 to 5 seconds for the screen to wake up so I can enter my pin
• Almost every time I unlock my phone now it tells me to check the battery cover is correctly sealed
• At one point yesterday it got really hot in my pocket (so I took the battery out to chill it out).

So I am wondering if my s5 fried the SD card possibly? a different SD is recognised fine by the phone. And any ideas how I can fix the strange behavours? I have tried taking the battery out for a while etc. Cheers for any advice in advance.

so it seems taking out the buggered SD card sorted the other problems - I think it was constantly trying to access it and draining resources. Seems sorted now - so just a new SD card is needed

New to posting in forums, but from what i have read, sounds like class 10 sd cards are the way to go with the s5.

yeah I always go for class 10 SD card's - they're just fast and that's nice enough in itself
you could have potentially had a clone sdcard they are everywhere nowadays when you pick up your cards always buy from reputable sources if it seems too good to be true it probably is.
Just my guess on the clone possibility..
anyways I'm glad to hear it's all sorted and your back rocking that sweet Lil S5
