Hello guys!
I have 16GB micro SD card and I can't put a movie larger than 4 GB.
my card is formatted as fat32, but I've managed to install paragon+ and mount ntfs card but I still can't copy file larger than 4GB.
Or to be more precise, I can save file via PC on SD card, but all applications don't recognize file.
I have tried with both 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Does anyone know how to solve this?
paragon didn't mount exfat.

It's an android limitation. Android has not NTFS support out of the box. I was sure it supported exFAT (our big brother does AFAIK) but after formatting my 16 GB class 10 SDcard my phone didn't recognize it anymore So, FAT32 and no 4GB+ files
However there's a good chance CyanogenMod supports these file systems (at least exFAT) out of the box

Get a live USB stick for any Linux distro and try saving it that way.
AW: [Q] micro SD card exfat
It should be possible to reformat the card as ext2/3/4. Android would support it natively. The only issue would be for Windows users to install a kind of driver to use it.

I've solved it.
I've formatted 16 GB SD drive half as fat32 and half as ext4, and then i've made a script to mount ext4 to /mnt/storage3 folder.
Now I can dowbload torrents larger than 4GB.
@oskreso, can you share the script?

I have a 1 gig card to use in my rooted NC. Do I need to format it some special way ? I have it formated as NTFS but I can not read it with ASTRO. It should be listed under sdcard right ? but I dont see it.
Help!
From what I've read on the Nook Color spec, it supports the FAT32 filesystem.
Try formatting your microSD card to that (or use the Nook to format the sd card directly)

Yup, FAT32 will work if what you have is a PC. There may be some UNIX filesystem format that's supported too, but for a 1 GB card, FAT32 is enough with its 4 GB file size limitation.
Hi guys. My Micro SD 8GB card works in computer, but not in my Android devices. Any ideas?

Can you see what type of file system it has. On android only FAT32 is allowed. If it is NTFS or exFAT i think can't work on a phone. If that is your case you must backup data form card and change file-system type to FAT.

I'm not so stupid, I tried with integrated Windows tool - no luck
I know now - integrated tools and any other tools sucks, you have to use normal tools. Problem solved with SDFormatter from sdcard.org.
Title says it all. How to transfer files larger than 4GB to SD card? I tried formatting SD card to NTFS but my 2X refuses to accept SD card in that format. Is there any other way?
Thanks!

format using exfat(windows) , or ext4(linux). fat32 cannot transfer file more than 3GB. since kowalski kernel already support exfat and ext4 already support in cm10.1 by tonyp
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 feel like I'm missing something here.
I can't transfer a movie into my SD card. It's admittedly a large file. Around 5 and a half gigs. Since its over 4, I get that pesky error that happens with Fat32 formatted storage. I tried reformatting the card to NTFS, but the phone just asks to reformat it when the card is reinserted.
Anyone have a solution or am I stuck having to rip the movie in a smaller file size?

Fat32 is 32bit filesystem so it won't be able to read / write more than 3.76gb files , so you can use exFAT instead of fat32
