Bought a G1W-CB a month ago. It seems fine but I'm seeing some slight issues with it and I'm hoping they can be fixed.
1) date and time seems to reset randomly. Is this an issue with the capacitor model?
2) seems to randomly stop recording. Records fine but then stops recording, losing lots of time and doesn't recover until it's turned off and on again.
Ex: http://imgur dot com/a/sh2Q2 (DCT won't let me post it without trying to embed it for some reason)
It's set to have two minute segments. It recorded from 12:13 to 12:15 but then stops recording for 15 minutes. It starts back up at 12:30 but only records for 57 seconds before stopping again. I was able to wake up my cam and interact with it so I'm guessing I didn't see the timestamp counting up.
3) sometimes it freezes. It'll be recording then suddenly stop with no indication with the red light blinking fast, then stopping repeatedly. The screen can be turned on and will turn off in the 2 minute timer I set but sometimes while the image completely freezes, it sometimes moves along with the car but the timestamp/recording time doesn't count up.
Could this be because I didn't format the SD card to FAT32? It's a 64 GB card. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that I got ****ed by marketing and accidentally bought a Class 3 card instead of a Class 10.
Here's the card I bought:

Thanks guys.
