Plesae note - this video is not meant to be interesting or entertaining - it is a simple evidential record of a card replacement, made for the following reason:
After my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 'smart' phone had completely killed two non-brand micro-SDHC cards (32GB and 8GB respectively), I contacted Samsung support. They gave me a whole load of baloney about using non-Samsung cards, saving corrupted files, and umnounting cards before removal. I was NOT impressed.
When a card goes into my phone, it stays there (why would I remove it?); I do not deliberately save 'corrupted' files - if anything it's the phone that would corrupt files; and most importantly, these cards are to the SDHC STANDARD: so why do generic cards work fine in every other device I possess?
Determined to give them one last chance with no wriggle room, this video shows me installing a brand new SAMSUNG BRANDED 16GB SDHC card into the phone, where it will stay for its life or the life of the phone.
If this card gets killed by the phone, then it's DEFINITELY a SAMSUNG PHONE DESIGN ISSUE. Watch this space!

So what the hell happened, did it destroy the card? I have a micro-SD card brand Lexar for the same phone, and I almost never get-it out of the phone. But yeah, the phone is always "Checking for error" and it happened twice now that I had to format-it, because it would say "Damaged SD Card". After I format-it, it seems fine until it pops-up again. The corruption seem to be linked with powering the device on and off.

Sounds like you're experiencing similar problems to mine. The phone destroyed my original 'non-brand' card completely after a number of 'checking card' warnings. The card had never been removed from the phone after being installed, so either power-cycling killed it (as you surmise), or it's some bizarre data-writing timing/voltage issue. Samsung were unhelpful, saying as it wasn't one of their cards, they took no responsibility. So much for the SD interchangeability standard. This video was simply my evidence in case the phone killed a genuine Samsung card. The Samsung card has been left in since installation, and I can report that (so far) it's still OK, despite repeated power-cycling of the phone. Go figure!

reqordist "Repeated power-cycling of the phone" You mean powering-it on and off?

Yes!

reqordist I'm trying to procure one of these samsung cards. It seems they are hard to come by! Samsung's canada website does not seem to sell-it and I could not find-it on their part website, nor in any "tech" shop. And I do not put much stock into buying one on ebay, for fear of getting something that's phony. May I ask where you got yours?

MrPhil1st I've used 7dayshop.com for the last 6 or 7 years for all my flash memory purchases, so that's where I got this card from. They are, like me, based in the UK. Although it was necessary in this case to buy the Samsung product (in order to call Samsung's bluff), I normally buy SanDisk memory, and have never experienced any quality problems from this supplier. I notice 7dayshop still have a range of Samsung Pro SDHC UHS1 cards in stock, but am not sure if they'd export to Canada. Good luck!
