MurrayM: Arrgghh, blimmin SD card is still playing up. It was working last night and now this morning there is a "SD card unexpectedly removed" notification. Time to go back to First Mobile and see what they say.

I believe that there is something not right with the way S4's are interacting with cards. 

I think you might be right, I've seen a lot of messages about people having trouble with SD cards on their S4's.

We took the S4 back to First Mobile and they exchanged the S4 for a new one.  The guy there had heard of problems with the S3 and SD cards, and wondered if these problems had been carried over to the S4 (although I've never had any problems with my S3 and SD cards).

By the time we got home we were getting the same message about the SD card being unexpectedly removed.  The phone just wouldn't recognise the SD card at all (which was still the original SD card that we bought with the S4).  We tried the SD card out of my S3 in the S4 and it worked ok.

Back to First Mobile and they gave us a new SD card which so far has been working ok.  Unfortunately they wouldn't give us back the original S4, saying that they'd already put through all of the exchange paperwork, so we had to set up the S4 all over again to get it how we wanted.

Hopefully this will be the end of the problems!

Well done to First Mobile at Albany for their excellent customer service!  They were very helpful and friendly and getting a new S4 offered to us without any prompting on our part was great.
