My Sandisk has corrupt twice so I've purchased a Samsung Evo Plus 256GB card and so far no errors or camera pop up saying sd inserted. I formatted the brand new card with my s9 plus when I first inserted it and I think it's put it in the right format which is EXFAT not FAT32  ... View more

Samsung support Is the worst. Most of the issues people are having like the SD card issue and the BLACK CRUSH and dropped calls can all be solved with a software update but samsung aren't listening to us at all, I've bought a new SD card which is arriving tomorrow if it doesn't fix this problem I'm going to repair centre and getting it fixed. Am I best of formatting the SD in my phone before 1st used or in a pc some say the s9 supports Exfat and not fat32 so guessing s9 format will set it to the correct one. I wouldn't mind all the issues im having if samsung spoke up and said this is what we are going to do to fix but it's been weeks and weeks and they've not given us a straight answer. ... View more
