To many parts that could cause the issues... would really stink if a bunch of bad SD cards were causing users to bring the Droid back as junk.


 

Good Luck!

Formatting your SD card will do nothing to prevent crashing or freezing, unless, what you're doing is playing with music/photos, and even then it will rarely have anything to do with the SD card.

 

To the OP, your phone should no be performing this way, I strongly suggest you take it to a Verizon store to get it fixed, and as someone said, there will always be bad apples during the manufacturing process.

Still locking up after a full charge.  I already switched back to my Storm and will try to exhange this thing tomorrow.

 

I formatted the sd card and it has not frozen again yet but I am still going to exchange it because I have lost all confidence in the one I have LOL

OK it just froze and rebooted while I was messing around with widgets on the home screen so formatting the SD card did not fix it.

I thought I made it clear that it wasn't going to make a difference.

Take it back to the Verizon Store, and get a new one. If you go back to your Storm kittins will cry.

Alright so I took my Droid in and exhanged it.  I have not had any lockups or reboots on the new Droid yet.  It took the dude forever to activate the new phone but at least it got done.
