Note 4 microSD Card Slows Down Phone

Problem: I purchased a new 64gb micro SD card. Copied files from my old 32gb card to to my computer. Formatted 64gb card in my Note 4 and then copied the files over to the new card. First it could not read several pictures. Not a big deal because I have them on my computer. Then it started telling me the card could not be read, to reformat. Not a big deal. After reformatting the card, the phone became slow to “wake up” and respond. Before I did a reset, I decided to try removing the card. BINGO! The phone now responds normally. Is there anything I can do to “fix” this card so it is usable?

Solution: It appears that the card you bought may be faulty. To check if this is the case try to insert the old 32GB card back to your phone. Check if the phone slows down with the old card. If it doesn’t then the 64GB card could have some corrupt sectors. Since you have already formatted this card which doesn’t seem to help you should consider replacing this with a new one.
