Hi guys, hopefully this is a quick and easy one.

Picked up a G4 Play for dad for Christmas and he was keen to get an SD card installed today. As soon as I inserted it the phone froze and tried to reboot, it then just got stuck in a boot loop until the card was removed again.

I am a long time android user, my own daily driver has always been android from my first device back 12 or so years so I like to think I'm fairly clued up.

Unfortunately I have no other card at my disposal to rule the phone in or out but the SD card in question runs fine on an S6 in the house (via otg) and on dad's Acer tablet.

Any thoughts?

I managed to convince him to let me format the card and all is well now. It must have locked on to the configuration of the tablet or some such thing.
