I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and it will only run 32Gb cards in Fat 32 format. So this prevents me from loading any movie files onto the tablet which are larger than 4GB. This is a sad limitation.
Anyway, I am thinking about buying a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 tablet and I heard it will run 64Gb cards, but is it also limited to Fat 32 or can the Tab 3 8.0 run NTFS formatted cards so that it can also accommodate larger than 4Gb file sizes?
Cheers if anyone knows the answer to this. I can't seem to find this answer in any of the Samsung specs.
This forum is for tab 7" original P1000.

sorry dude but this is forum for Galaxy Tab 1 P1000
AFAIK: FAT32 should support Files up to 4GB's in size.
A better question is can we format the External SD to something more useful like EXT3 or EXT4?
More to a point why haven't we done this yet? If anything it would fook-up Microsoft's Patent Trolling of FAT32.

i know that galaxy note support microSD, up to 32GB.
but my question is does galaxy note also support MicroSDHC?
can anyone please tell me
thanks in advance
32GB of micro SD is HC. microSDHC is between 4-32GB
Galaxy Note even supports Micro SDXC - 64gb.
according to NZtechfreak , after format his Sandisk 64GB micro SDXC card to FAT32 then it will work perfectly fine with the galaxy note
ps more detail is here http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
and from the main topic question : yes its support microSDHC
ps ( a bit more ) :i cant seem to find anywhere that got 64gb one in stock in UK
mobymemory.co.uk has it in stock around £100

confirmed, i have one which makes my note a beast: 32GB internal plus the 64GB sdxc makes a total of 96GB... not bad for a "phone"!
Works fine with my 64gb sdxc too.

If you had checked out the accessories subforum you would have seen a discussion about this allready, btw i love my 64GB Sandisk microsdxc in my note which i have had zero issues with. Search or have a quick look around before making a new topic

Yes, but how is it formatted FAT32 or ExFAT? Only ExFat supports files over 4GB.
I don't think that Samsung provided the ExFat driver in their kernel (it's not free).
Not samsung kernel but abyys kernel support ntfs read/write. I'm using now ntfs formatted 32gb class 10 Samsung micro sdhc card in my galaxy note without a problem. I can totally copy and watch 10gb hd movie with mx player.u can find abyys kernel in this forum.
Running 64 gig everything fine ,put card straight into phone then press format thats it. here is speeds
Sandisk ultra class 6
galaxy note rrv19.1 3.2 kernal
Hi TML1504. I did not know you could buy a note with 32gb internal memory?
If so where did you purchase from?

read this and the following posts!
Thanks. just wonder when the 32Gb in white is available
Confirm working... Tried formatting from Note 10.1 and PC but still not working... After formatting my Sandisk 64GB microSD in SGSII it start working without any issue.... Finally...
Good info here. Thanks.
Well now most micro sd cards are HC. they se even further classified into classes. Cards with most read write speed nowdays are class 10. Though i am using a class 4 card but it us working fine.

So it seems that the Kingmax 64gb microsdxc card doesn't work with the Tab. Hardly unexpected but hey you never know until you try. It just keeps asking me to format it over and over again.
Oh well, it works fine on my gs2
As far as i know, the tab only support 32GB sdcard.
More specifically, the microsdhc spec supports up to 32gb. Usually when they say a device only supports 32gb it's because it uses this spec so it implies this limit. But some newer devices specifiy microsdhc however they can use more than the 32gb limit. So that was my hope here.
Got it, so is a limitation about the sdcard tec, not a limit of tab hardware...
Well maybe both. Who knows. Maybe it's a good excuse for me to start cooking roms and writing kernels.
Back in the day...
Back in the old days, my old HTC XDA Exec, was not compatible with the new fangled technology of SDHC, and was only able to read SD until some enterprizing folks here at XDA created some updated drivers for it.
Remember the form factor is identical, only the file system (I believe, I may be wrong) of the SD/SDHC/SDXC system changes.
Hopefully someone can get the drivers from a device that does support SDXC to work with the Tabs SDHC reader.
I think your hardware actually has to support the new format, not just the software. My guess is that your old HTC actually supported SDHC at the hardware level, just not at the software level yet. I have a card reader in my desktop as well as one in my laptop that will only read SD, not SDHC, regardless of the size. I am pretty sure SDHC slots will never be able to read SDXC unless the hardware was actually built to support it, but we'll see.
What are you filling your Tab with?
I have been using my tab for over 6 months now and still have not used over 4GB, so the 16GB it has internally was always more than enough. I wonder what all of you are using the space for? Are you loading it with movies & Music or what else?
Any way you can always get the connector to attach a USB storage to your tablet and plugin an extra storage when needed. I mean you can archive your old movies & music to an external USB Drive!

Yeah, but who the $*%& want's to carry around an external when it could all be internal
Another idea, and I read through the thread and didn't see this mentioned. Would it matter if the card was broken up into two 32GB partitions?
This just made me think of this, does anyone know a partition type for android that would allow file transfer to SD Card over 4 GB? I've always thought that was a FAT limitation (which it is) but hadn't considered other supported format types that might allow for the bigger transfers but also be recognized by Android.
Now that's a burning question!
Most roms are ext4. Try using that. Downside, your windows boxes won't support these out of box
Thanks for the advice about the custom rom. I might give that a shot.
As for why I use this much, this tab is my car stereo so that means lots of music and movies for long trips. It's easy to eat up a lot of space that way.

Tried it, didn't work because I think Android is expecting it to be FAT32 when it's inserted. I wonder if there is a ROM out that would allow for EXT4 SD cards instead of having to use FAT32? Anyone heard of anything like that?

My understanding of this might not be correct but I think fat32 shouldn't be an issue. The 64gb card I got is fat32 and my gs2 seems to use it fine.

Sorry, I kinda hijacked your thread. I was just thinking if you created two 32 GB partitions to see if it was a capacity limitation. I'm not using a custom rom right now, I was just wondering if there was a rom that would allow you to use ext4 on an as card for large file transfer. 64 GB would do me little good without alleviating the limitations of fat 32.

I think TAB support maximum SD card is 32G... or u can try different format, it might be work....
Well after much wrestling with Odin I managed to flash Roderick's ef17 kernel and now the 64gb card works, Sky Wizard be praised!!
I don't know if it was the kernel or if my Tab was messed up. And video seems choppy, I'm not sure if it's a slow card or something else yet.
the question itself may have told some of you that i'm not too technical.
so here it is in plain language: will the galaxy tabs play vids larger than 4gb out of the box?
i'm planning to get the 7.7inch one. the tab to end all tabs it seems (ipad guys, DON'T!)
i ran across some workarounds for other devices, had something to do with fat32 and formating the sd etc. is there a solution for other devices like galaxy tab 7.7 and/or galaxy s2?
thanx in advance
So i got my galaxy tab from woot yesterday. One thing i noticed is that on the woot site, it said it was a 16gb model. is this supposed to mean internal memory? or do all tabs have the same 2gb's of internal memory and come with whatever size SD card they talk about?
Hi
All the specs i se say that the Razr I has a 32gb limit for microc SD cards - a few people here have said (in passing) they have 64gb cards. So I was wondering whjat people have got working - the price of 64gb card in the UK is getting around the £35 - £25 was my "Buy pint" for the 32gb I have - doubling that would be cool.

I use a 64GB microSD class 10 card on my RAZR i. It doesn't use all of the storage, just about 53+GB but it still works fine.

Interesting, what make and model card is it? And what ROM are you on?

There is a post in the accessories forum with other 64gb users.
I have 59GB usable with my Sandisk which is the same model listed above.
'Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card with SD Adapter - FFP'
53gb seems like a big loss? Maybe the cluster size you chose wasn't the best choice?
The 32 limit is to do with windows by default will not make a fat32 partition bigger than 32gb so just use a 3rd party partition tool to make it 64gb.
I use the one from www.partitionwizard.com
Also don't format to exfat as the phone won't read it.

Hi. Has anyone tried to format it as exFAT or format directly from the device?
