Its nice, O2x can play full hd video. i have hdmi cable, full hd screen, but how can i play it, when its not posible to store it on SD card? does anyone have solution to play 1080p videos larger than 4GB on O2x?
-when i format SD card to other FS than fat32, it cant be recognized by phone.
-i havent found any kernel with other fs support on sd card.
-all old questions in other forums end that the phone have small screen resolution and i dont need full hd movies.
use dlna and stream from a pc, i dont think we can have files larger when 4gb on android
it isnt solution of the problem
it's not a problem android can't use files larger when 4gb and where is nothing to do abort it, so dlna is the only solution, or you can use handbrake to make the file smaller
If you use a Linux desktop system (think mac works to) you can format the sd card to ext2. It should make it possible to store the files that's bigger then 4GB. Since Its rather a limit of the fat32 file system then android it self.
I have tested ext2 on Cyanogenmods kernel and works for me. Didn't test the file size limit since I tried with a spare 2GB card, will make my 16GB card to ext2 soon to try.
you have to resize your size of 1080p movies, because the limit of fat32
I did make my 16GB card to ext2 and it mounted an worked perfectly fine. Only problem I found was the lack of ext support in cwm recovery.
Might be able to fix if source code to cwm is available. Since its just the mount line rhat needs to be changed to auto.

It's not an Android limitation but a VFAT filesystem limitation. This filesystem is very old and at that time hard disks were small and so 4GB limit sounded sufficient...
NTFS, HFS+ (Mac), and all linux filesystem (ext2, ext3, ext4, XFS, and so on) can manage files > 4 GB.
The only problem is that if you format your card in Ext4, it won't be recognised directly by Windows (no free driver, I think a commercial product exists). Ext2 and ext3 can be read from Windows (there are free apps to do that), but it won't be as simple as VFAT as you'll have to install this specific program on each computer you plug your phone in. (With Mac non problem as it is Unix based OS).

All as the newbie, I want to test to run MKV video on my Galaxy. I was able to copy and run 2.5Gb mkv but having problem copying >5Gb file. I.m using darky 8 and lagfix ext4. From the wiki I understand that ext4 can handle file size up to 16Gb, so what would stop this from copying big file to my galaxy? kernel ?
The lag-fix replaces RFS partitions with ext4 partitions.
The partition you mount and see in Windows is a FAT32 partition, it's not RFS and it's NOT ext4. The max limit for file size on FAT32 is 4GB.
k? thx. bye!
NTFS wont get recognized by linux, so we're stuck with smaller mkv files.
Try to put the micro sdcard directly in the pc

You get a small jacket for micro-sd card which turns it onto a thumb drive.

Will that magically unlock features not available on the filesystem used on the SD-card?
Answer: No it won't.
How large is the limit on FAT32, 3.7GB ??
Hi everybody,
today i want to get a movie (5,5 GB .mkv file) into my SGS and when i will travel i will be watch it but i have a problem. my phone write me that it cant copy this file into phone. i have free space... where is a problem ? thx
video file size > 4gigs = will not fit on external sd card formatted with fat32
As to how to get to see it on a linux based phone - you will need a linux person to tell you how to setup your sd card so that you can copy large files to it. It might not work in windows after that...
If it was a windows phone you'd format it in ntfs - but I dont think our phones will be happy with that format of card...
Linux peoples - how would this guy get a mem card to format up to take a > 4 gig file on it?
Can it be done easily? What restrictions would there be?
download a tool called 'paragon partition manager'
excellent tool for creating / formatting partitions to operate on linux systems, as well as windows.
ok thanks, but i have in my phone 2 GB microSD card. i want copy into phone's sdcard. so it mean that i should buy larger microsd card
Fastest and simplest way is to cut your movies into parts under 4Gb. This way you don't need to buy a new card or format a current card.
Could he not use GParted and format the card as ext4?
64 card files wont all play
Hi I have a new moto g, (running lollipop) I also put in a 64 sd card, while the music files seemed to play fine, video and other files the phone reads some of them not others, I put the same file internally and on the sd card and it reads the internal version of the file. I gather from this forum ( 64GB HD Card on Lollipop ROM - What format should I use?) I need format the sd card, I have no idea how to do that, any help would be appreciated.
Use Fat32, it´s the safest solution imho.

Only fat is supported out of the box for external SD.
Max file size for fat32 is 4GB-1byte. Should be not a problem unless you plan on putting e.g. large hd-movies on the card. That would require another filesystem and makes things complicated (root, custom kernel etc)
Since Windows' internal formatting tool is limited to 32GB you will need e.g.
http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/. On linux use gparted.
Hi All,
I've tried to connect my 298GB exfat HD to T715 using USB OTG connector, the ES Explorer could detect that there was an additional storage been attached, but i couldn't see any file in the harddisk. What seems to be the problem here? Is it the capacity of hd that is too high or the filesystem that can't be read by the OS? My microsd card is formatted using exfat and it still can be read.
Do i need to be rooted and flash additional files? Should i be using FAT32 instead of exfat?
Thanks

try to format a < 64gb usb stick with exfat, so you can figure out if the problem is the filesystem or the capacity of your hd.
it its the fs fat32 should work if you dont want to use ext4.
cm should also handle ntfs partitions.
You can format the drive to fat32 using a windows program such as easeus partition manager (there's a free version or trial). (Windows itself limits fat32 formatting to 32gig so you need a 3rd party app like easeus)
Just remember fat32 can't support files bigger than 4 gig - so no big mkv movies for example
I'd like to remove my external SD card and use my Linux (RHEL/CentOS) workstation to copy files to and from it. The card has not been encrypted and is 6¤ GB in size.
Unfortunately the workstation did not recognize the file format, Solid Explorer on the tablet does not tell me which file system is used and Googling suggests it may be a special flash file system suitable for SD cards, presumably not available on desktop Linux distributions.
Does anyone have information?
Probably exfat.
Diskinfo will tell you what it is.
Should be FAT or exFAT
Thank you, have downloaded DiskInfo from the Play Store to my phones but not yet to the tablet. I know RHEL/CentOS has drivers for MSDOS (FAT) and vFAT but do not know about exFAT.

It is definitely exfat and it is an exfat flavor that can't be duplicated on Windows according to Microsloth. Although you should be able to read/write the card from a Windows PC do not try to format it on a PC. The M/S exfat format does not handle large filesystem cards.
You can read/write and I think format the card (if needed) from Linux using exfat-fuse. I built it from source the other day, took all of three minutes. Good stuff!
Depending on your package manager you should be able to search on exfat or fuse and find the drivers.
BTW I did some experimenting with card filesystems since the internal memory is supposedly ext4. I formatted a memory card ext3 and the S7 couldn't read it.
Would have been nice to have a standard portable filesystem available instead of having to use something proprietary that google has to pay Microslop for.

Have had no issues formatting 64gb sd cards as exFAT in Windows. I see no reason why it wouldn't be compatible.
It's a Windows format that has been incorporated to work on Samsung Android devices.
As for Google I don't think exfat is yet natively supported on AOSP unless it's been added recently.
You were right, a small SD card used VFAT while a 64 GB card used exFAT. The former can be read natively on RHEL/CentOS and there are third-party drivers for the latter.
Thank you, DiskInfo looks like a very nice utility.
