I have a sprint epic 4g touch.
Im having some issues with my phone. Everuthing will be going just fine, my battery will be fully charged, then suddenly my phone restarts. It comes back on, & its suddenly hot & my battery will be dead. It will keep restarting unless I take my SD card out.
Ill take the card out & then sometimes ill turn it back on & my battery will be sorta charged again.
& then its usually okay.
But then as soon as I put my SD card back in, ill turn it on, & tnen it keeps restarting.
Sometimes it will finally stop & everything will be okay. But it just does this at random times.
Anyone have an idea of what might be the issue??

Sounds like a bad SD card or battery....or both. I'd replace each one.

Before replacing the SD card try a simple format first, because if you're like me, you don't have money for a new SD card lol
Also bout the battery, every time I've gone to sprint with battery issues they give me a new one, now I know they won't always just give you one, but if you're nicey nice to them and get buddy buddy they may

I have had a bad/cheap SD go out on me, and almost the same issues as OP. My advice backup your SD cause that fukr's gonna die for real soon. Then bam without the SD in phone runs great..What size is your card? If it's not too big I have craploads of SD's from old phones. Mostly 8 AND some 16gb in size. I know for sure I have plenty of 8gb cards if ya need one shoot me a PM..I'll hook ya up..
I'm having the same issue, I tried formatting my SD card and even after formatting it I still get this issue every once in a while:/

What I sometimes do is just plug in to a charger and then it stops. Wait do you have the same issue where your screen flickers and stuff?

my sd card isnt very old. Plus if I format it, then im gonna lose a whole lot of important stuff, cuz most of my apps are on my sd card. & all my pictures, over 2000.

I font wanna lose the apps I have on my card. I have a journal app, with over 2 years of journal entries & I cant lose all that stuff. So what do I do? Is formatting the card my only choice??

Wow. You need to backup that sukr fast. I have lost more crap from even good namebrand SD cards dying on me. I have since gone to the cloud more or less. Never rely on your phone or your SD to keep that much valuable stuff on. At least start a backup schedule on your pc or laptop. So if it does die you won't loose as much..:good:

Oh yeah NO DO NOT FORMAT UNTIL YOU BACKUP. In my exp format does not help for a issue such as y'alls. I had a Sammy card freak out on my old vibrant that literally softbricked that sukr. I was stubborn and blamed the phone but after testing diff setups/voltage/underclock. I took the card out as to not erase it by accident and forgot to put it back in. The phone ran great. Then I inserted the Sd and it made thephone reboot twice then it just locked up hard. Pulled the SD an flshed back to stock and all was good. Insert the SD. BAM same crap. So always make backups. Nandroid and internal and ext SD. It's a pain but a good habit..
Ok, so if I back up my SD card onto my PC, then format my card, how do I get the apps & the data that go with the apps, back onto my phone??

plug the phone back into comp. Open the SDext. highlight all the files copy and paste. Pretty much the same process to copy to comp,but now you are copying back onto your ext SD.
I got my phone to finally stop restarting, when I have the SD card in. I dont know why its working now, but oh well. Can someone tell me What's the difference between the system storage, USB storage & SD card??

I noticed that I barely have any screen wake lag, but when my sd card is in the phone, I have noticeable screen wake lag. Every time I take my sd card out to test my theory, the lag is gone.
Can anyone else reproduce this?

I had a sd card that was going bad that play3d havoc with my first note 1. So bad I took it back and had 5he phone replaced. Only to have it happen again with the replacement. Pulledncard and replaced and never had a problem again.

well my card isn't causing any problems.. it works fine and i can access everything on it fine.. i just notice the screen lag when its in and not when its out.. simple as that.
Yeah was able to th a t with mine too. Not saying it is your issue it just happened to be mine and related it you as something you might try as pulling your card out fixes your problem.
Is it always present with the card in?

Occasionally, when I wake my device up I get this notification. It usually resolves in a few seconds. But twice now I've had to reboot the phone.
Anyone else seeing these messages or have an idea why I'm seeing them or what I can do to address them?

ATT exchanged my SD card. and so far problem has not reoccurred.
Seems kind of a mundane resolution, especially this card worked fine in my S3, but 24 hrs and I haven't seen the messages again.
Have you tried to reseat your card? If it's an older one, are the contacts dirty? Are you using a stock rom?

Stock rom
32gb sandisk card
Reformatted in my Note 2
The behavior is like the card is slow to wake up when the phone does.

Every time I go to use my phone when it's asleep I notice the SD Card symbol with the cog in it. Now it doesn't read my card and there's an exclamation Mark in the symbol. I'm curious if it remounts every time upon waking up?

I was running liquid smooth 4.2.2 and flashed a tw rom. When it booted into tw it said your SD card may be broken would you like to reformat? I hit yes and it didn't seem to do anything. I went back to liquid smooth and it did it again now I no longer get the message but it says my SD card has only 6mb on it. How could I test and see if my SD card is working as it should?

Also when I turn off the phone and charge it, it displays a purple looking battery with a question mark over it.

Try plugging it into a computer and see what it says. Actually take it out and put it in a reader. It could have a messed up partition or something

I just tried two other batteries and still get the purple battery icon with? Mark when phone is off and charging. I'll try plugging it in computer what should it look like when I plug it in?
Everything seems to work when I plug it in. I can add and remove files from it.
