Re: Who has NOT had memory card issues with the Touch?

So if you use the File Explorer, close it when you're done, Pictures/Album - close it when you're done, Audio Manager/Media Player - close it when you're done, etc.

As others have stated, the new Alltel ROM and ROMs with the new 3.xx radios seem to be better. I have been using a custom 6.1 3.xx ROM for a while now and I've left apps open that access the storage card and I have not had my card corrupted yet.
Thank you mindfrost. The thing is, I'm not based in the US or Canada and I'm trying to get one down to my country so that I can use it on our local cdma network. Once I get it activated on the local service provider's network I'm sure my warranty and everything else is gonna be tossed. I'm actually getting a Sprint version of the phone, so I don't know how practical it would be to flash that model with an Alltel ROM, as I'd already read on some other thread that it would probably brick the phone.
When its a case of importing a phone, voiding its warranty & to get it to work, I guess I'm a little more than nervous when I read up scary info like corrupt mem cards and stuff lol
Thanks once again mate, your information was a great help. ( I would have thanked you , but since these are my initial posts I guess that thank button isn't activated for me as yet. I'll be back to give it a click when I can get it to work, which I hope is in the next couple of days)
