New Micro SD Card Causes System to Lock Up

[johnbre999]

I recently bought a PNY 16 GB micro sd card to add my music library to. I mirrored the 8 GB stock card and copied the data to the new one. When I plugged it into the phone, the phone started up OK and I was able see the mp3 files. As soon as I tried virtually anything, the phone would lock up and the only way to get out of it was to unplug the battery. So, I uninstalled the card and reformatted it using my PC (fat 32). I added some files to it and tried again. Same result. I thought that the card was bad, so I took it back and exchanged it for a second card. Same process, same result. Any ideas as to what is going on? Should I try a different brand of card?

PNY is cheap garbage. You're better off using Kingston or Sandisk.

One other thing you can try is to format the card using the phone and not the computer.
