So recently I purchased a 16G Lexar MicroSD card. I was previously using a 2G MicroSD that came with my old LG Phoenix. Primarily I only needed 2G of memory because I would take my photos off of the SD card and then upload them to my computer. I figured after awhile this became tedious so I went out and bought the new Lexar MicroSD card. I went home and transferred all of the old photos from my computer onto the card as well as ones that were previously on the 2G MicroSD. Mind you I have never had any issue with the 2G MicroSD card.
After awhile, maybe days after I moved all of my photos onto the new 16G MicroSD card, I noticed as I was looking through my pictures, they became chopped up and the colors went all haywire on the photo itself when I scrolled through them. If I were to take a new photo or video, it would randomly cause this "chopping" of photos that were already taken. It would randomly go back and forth between having the normal picture and then sometimes pixelating the resolution, changing colors, chopping up the photo, etc.
So this morning, I woke up to "MicroSD card ejected". I was like well that sucks. I didn't take all of my new photos off yet. Then I did a hard reset by pulling the battery, removed the SD card, and was having no luck with the phone or my computer reading it. All of the sudden it started working again... but it's chopping up the photos again as I look through them.
I feel as if the card is about to die permanently at any time and I've felt this way since I've bought the card. I have been using Dropbox as a crutch to sync my photos if the card dies. It just doesn't make sense that I've never had this problem with my old 2G MicroSD card that came as a starter card with an older phone...
This also makes the argument null and void that it's only Sandisk cards having issues on the Galaxy S3.
