HELP: Formatting a new SD for use with SGS?

[Guest ppeccin]

Do you have to format a new SD card (Sandisk 16 Gb class2) in any special way before using it?

My brother is testing my new SGS for me (I live in Brazil, he is in USA), and he is reporting that the phone becomes SLOW with just the new card inserted, and sometimes it stops and says "preparing mass storage" or something.

Nothing copied or running on the card yet. Blank.

Stock JFB firmware.

Please help me. Is this possibly a hw problem with my phone?

Thanks,

Paulo

Firstly, if you can read it; it's correctly formated. Secondly, a class 2 is the most terrible form you can have a Micro SD card in .. a class +6 is almost twice the cash
