So, I've tried 7.0.3, and all the nightlies up to about yesterday, but I repeatedly have the same experience: The install to SD card goes fine but, sooner or later, I start getting streams of force close problems, which rebooting does not fix.

I noticed that I was seeing files show up in both the LOST.DIR in both the eMMC and SD card file systems, so I tried a different SD card. At this point, I've tried a Transcend 8gb class 6, a PNY 8gb class 4, an old no-name 4gb class 4 and an old Sandisk 2gb card.

Are the cards the problem? Or does the problem lay elsewhere?

The one other thing I can point to is a couple of times I've rebooted and the NC didn't even see that there was an SD card in the slot. This makes me wonder if it's not the cards themselves, but the slot is the problem. I've blown air into it and so forth, but no joy.
