    And it keeps trying to log into google. What's with that? It keeps telling me that it failed to log in. DOHHH it doesn't know my account nor my password. Well I don't use my google account anyway.

    About once a day, the phone resets and restarts itself.

    Lastly, it has managed to corrupt my microSD cards: count is 3 so far.

    So do I have a dead brick of sort?

    Oh its an Android phone.
    How much memory is available on it? These are the kinds of things that happen when it's full.

    two of them had about 1Gbyte of unused space last one had about 15.5Gbyte unused when the phone decided to re-format or corrupt it for good.

    I'm just about ready to switch over to iphone and pay through my bleeding nose.

    Pretty sure she meant the phone itself, not the expansion card.

    Sorry for the late response. In general smart phones like about 10% available memory. Phone has 16gb capacity, at least 1.5 go free. When it's less than that I find exactly what's happening to you occurs; phone gets poltergeists, stuff vanishes Etc. I'd start by backing it up and then delete stuff.
