so a while ago in this thread last year i mentioned 1 reason of my reluctance to upgrade to MM on my G4 was that it has SD card read/write issues whereby if you try to view the files on a PC, some files appear corrupted and have file size 0KB and its the same whether the phone is connected via USB or via LG Bridge.
Since recently I had a huawei P10 Plus to try out (which is on nougat, making the android version even newer than MM), I wanted to see if I can replicate the issue
Turns out I actually could. And I am certain now I made the incorrect assumption of it being LG's build of MM being problematic. It might actually have been the gallery app I use (Quickpic) and a bug in its copy photo to new folder functionality whereby if you copy a large quantity of files to a folder on SD card, Quickpic may not succeed copying 100% of the data. Quickpic also sometimes had trouble refreshing its album when deleting pics on SD card, another issue I was able to replicate.
Looking at Quickpic now in the google play store, it hasnt been updated in over 4 months so I think best option for me is to now cease use of that app and find a new gallery app.
Im still not going over to MM on the G4 though cos I'm not convinced the battery life is much better.
