Hello everyone
I have upgraded from 32GB to a 64GD SD card but its not viewable by the phone. When formatted to NTFS it can be used from my Windows computer. I would be happy to have it in proper Linux Ext2, 3 or 4 format. I store a lot of 250MB videos. No need for bluray rips.
I thought it would be a drop in replacement but its not. Anyone able to tell me how to get it working on Android?

Format it as FAT on your PC.
You'll be limited to max 4GB file size though.
Install 'ntfs mounter' to use your SD card in ntfs format

Hi to all friends,
I have been using samsung galaxy note since past few weeks. I had always thought that the maximum size of ext sd card supported is only upto 32GB however I could see users who seem to use 64GB ext sd cards on their phones....Is it possible or any software needed to be installed so that the phone recognizes it?.... Thank for reading my message....
Just make sure it's formatted as Fat32 and not exFAT. WORKS GREAT!

Using a 64gb card in my phone at the moment. When I first purchased it I used a program called " H2testw 1.4 " just to check if it was genuine. This program fills the card with data then reads it back. If it fails it will tell you so you can return it.
Have had no problems with the card. Just remember to format it in the phone.

64 gb sandisk works!
I can confirm that sandisk 64gb xc card works great, pop it in your phone and format it in settings-storage format sd card and thats it ready to use.
Cool...I'm using a 16gb one right now cause it was really cheap...if I have the money by the end of july i'll purchase a 64gb one and sell this one to a friend

Hello XDAians..
So, basically, something is wrong with my SD Card after partitioning using Swapper..
Now, my phone doesn't even read my SD Card. You can't go through files, etc.
I know the problem is not the ROM nor the PHONE.. because my phone reads my brother's SD Card which is the same class, space & type..
I can't format because MiniPartition tool also doesn't recognize my SD Card.. Help?
My SD Card is a Class 2, 8GB, MicroSDHC.
Please help. I really need my SD Card to install new ROMS and MODS..
Have you tried CWM built in
It also doesn't read anything

Try it in a computer. That doesn't work, it's fried. I had that with a 16GB PNY card. My current Samsung works fine no matter what I do

The thing is, I don't have an adapter for the SD Card..
If it isn't working in cwm then you only have to find a adapter and partition again...
I got the same, after I deleted swap it solved

Hmm.. I know I got an adapter somewhere in my house.. Just need to find it..

Mini tool partition is the best...
Use it and delete swap
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2
hmm if you swaps, i recommend u use a class 6 or higher to lower risk
please use class 2 sd class
maybe you can use card reader to check it..is it still FAT format or not
then try to fix it or something else like repair your sdcard
and turn on your phone WITHOUT sdcard
last, turn it on again WITH sdcard
Hi,
Anyone know if our phones are able to use sdhc cards?
Yes they are.
I have a SanDisk Ultra 8GB Micro SDHC I (partitioned using ClockworkMod Recovery) and it works fine for me.

Thanks. Its just that i am having some issues but i think its to do with the card failing! I've got a 16gig mini sdhc that refuses to format no matter what software i use.
Anyone had difficilties before and found a solution??
How bigger the size of the Micro SD(HC) Card, the more issues are with it. As I sad, this is also with SD, not only SDHC.

I think it maybe a fake card or a dud batch! Bought it off eBay so I guess that's the risk you take!

I've got a Kingston 8GB sdhc card in my gt-s5830-i which works fine. If you haven't saved anything to your card partition it using ClockworkMod recovery. Using that you can create an sd-ext2 second partition (see "advanced" -> "partition SD card") for use with the link2sd app for moving apps from internal memory on to that partition on the card.
I have 32GB class 10 micro sd card put into my NOTE which is with NTFS file system format. I am gettling BLANK SD CARD, SD CARD BLANK OR HAS UNSUPPORTED FILE SYSTEM message in the notification bar with ONGOING header. But after installing NTFS MOUNTER app, I am able to access SD card, but the message still remain there.
Can anyone please tell me how can I remove this message, since SD card is working fine ?
May be try formating the sd to fat 32

I want to keep NTFS format so that I can watch 1080p videos which will be more than 4GB in size and FAT32 cannot support more than 4GB single file size.

Have you tried any of the apps for mounting ntfs formatted sdcards, from Play Store? Haven't done it myself but seen there are apps. Maybe one of those will get your sd up and running =)

You need a rom that can support fat32, i'm not 100% sure but think the cm's/paranoid will support it.

As I had mentioned earlier in my 1st post itself, SD card and USB Pen drive is working perfectly fine with NTFS format in my Note using NTFS MOUNTER app from android market. The only issue is the message which is not disappearing from the notification drop down mentioning "BLANK SD CARD". I want this message to go. I am in stock ICS rom with rooted.
Hi guys!
Can someone help me with this.
I'm trying to move one file that I've downloaded to internal storage to the sdcard but I can't. File manager says file too big. Any advice? My sdcard has a capacity of 32 Gb.

Thank you Ben but already tried that and didn't work. EFBIG (file too large) error. I think it's a sdcard limiting.
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
Most likely because the SD card is formatted in FAT32 which has a limit of 4GB. If the destination is NTFS, you should be able to copy it
Can't do files that big on fat 32 I think. 4gb would be okay, but if it's just a little over, no dice. You sure it's less than 4,294,967,295 bytes*?

Only way. Download myphone explorer to pc and connect phone thru wifi. Transfer file to comp and then transfer again to ext sd from comp. Hope that will work.

Won't work either. File system restrictions are still present even if done another way
Try to use another format. The format of choice would either be exfat or ext4
While ext4 should do the trick I'd prefer exfat since it has windows compatibility. Ext4 isn't natively supported by windows (only Unix based)
Since 32gb is max for fat partitions, the z1 on the other hand supports 64gb cards, it should be able to mount exfat

Yeah but watch out: reformatting results in an empty partition
