Re: "RPhoneMan" error - TOTAL storage card erase

If I had the time I would probably figure out a way to replicate this repeatedly so I can take it back in the store and get a new one. Maybe not. Until I saw your post I assumed I just had a flaky phone. Maybe the problem is more endemic...
I am open to any suggestions on a new card. However, 8 gig's, up to this point, has been fine. I keep 3 standard movies on the phone and then every week add three more. I go through roughly 3 movies riding back an forth to work for the week. I don't want this to be a problem that will keep popping up even if I buy a new card card.

The ONLY thing I can come up with, similarities wise, for the times my storage got completely erased is:

1. The first time I had MemMaid open. I cleared some space by deleting some files and I was ready to add more movies. With MemMaid open I connected the cable. Freez. Blink. "Unable to find Storage. Please reinstall bla, blah, blah... then my storage was gone.

2. This time I had a movie paused in Coreplayer then I connected the cable. Same error as listed above and storage erase.

7 out of ten times I connect the cable, no matter if I have something open or not, I get: "Windows has experienced a ___.exe problem. Would you like to send and error Report." I click no and keep moving and it is usually the end of it. I can still transfer and I am on my way. Not today though.


Both MemMaid and Coreplayer were stored on the 8 gig storage. Would them being opened AND being housed on the stroage play a part?
