My SE Z (unrooted) has stopped reading my Transcend 32GB (2 months into using it), I've tried to put in another micro SD and it works fine. Any ideas for the sudden failure?

Yeah..and my thousands of photos gone with the wind but without warning just phail like that aduh

Correct me if im wrong, but I'm having issues with the XZ's wifi signal. I've read up in xda and its pretty common that a handful of users will find that XZ's wifi is pretty weak compared to other devices. (e.g. Im on the second floor, wifi router on the first floor. XZ signal shows max 2 bars while iPhone/xperia Go/laptops shows full bar.)

Im on the latest update as well. Is this common or did I get a defected unit

no hardware/software mod to combat this issue?

yes, and its pretty frustrating. Even with a dual band 450mbps router..im losing a few bars.

The only temporary (hopefully) solution was to get a homeplug in the room/office.
