I cannot seem to fix this problem i'm recently having with my samsung galaxy S4, every time i try to take a pic, it doesn't save to the sim card anymore (as default) also any apps I had saved either had an error or reconfigured itself to read as (example) com.pinterest.mobile i reformatted the card & still have the same issue, the phone recognizes the sim card it just seems i cant save anything to it? Does anyone have any ideas how this happened or how i can fix it or do i just scrap this sim card? thanks for any info!

Yeah ... sometimes they die. Buy a decent one ... like a Sandisk or other name brand.Get a 32GB ... they are at a good price point.

Thank you for your response!
I did format the sim card as described, funny thing, it erased everything except my photos taken with the stock phone camera , I formatted it twice, finally on the second try it was wiped & i attempted to move an app as described as well & as soon as i moved it, it erased the app from the phone & card & replaced it with "com.pinterest.mobile" (using that app as an example) i think the sd card is done for, i may get another one to test it....
