I recently purchased a Adata Class 6, 16gb Micro SD from Newegg. It worked just fine in the phone with FAT32, and passed all diagnostics that I ran in Pocket Mechanic. Then I decided to format it in NTFS so I could store files larger than 4gb on it. My PC recognizes the card when the device is in storage mode, but the phone does not recognize the card. Is there a fix that will enable the device to use the NTFS card?
Thanks in advance!
*Edit* I just asked someone in my EQ guild that works for AT&T. Apparently Win Mobile doesn't support NTFS at all.
There is no real reason for it to be NTFS anyway.
I mean, I gues giant files, but at that point, get a flash drive.

I tried 3 different SD cards from 3 different cameras, none worked on my tablet, all worked on vaio laptop. Is my port damaged or am I missing something here?
make sure the format is FAT32
hmm..I'm not in the same country as my laptop now, I'll check when back home
I am thinking of buying an S1 but I read a comments on another sitre about the SD card that indicates you cannot move apps to the card (as you can with most other android devices).
Is this true? If so would it better to get a 32GB S1?
Try to plug the camera in via the USB host function, should work.
Sometimes I have to reboot the device with the sd-card pre inserted before it will recognize it. Maybe that might work?
On off suggestion didn't work...will check if fat 32 tomorrow
I bought a SDXC 128GB card for my tablet. I formated it with FAT32 and it works like a charm.
Happened to me too... fat32 formatted and all, still wouldnt detect it. I had to put it in and out until i finally saw the message on screen about the sd card being connected =/

From Sony's support site:
"The tablet can recognize SD and SDHC memory cards (Class 4 or higher) up to 32GB in size. External USB Hard Disk up to 2TB (Terabytes) have been tested and will be recognized, as long as the drive is formatted in the FAT32 file system. Similarly, flash drives of any size will be recognized as long as they are formatted in the FAT32 file system."

ive read here some one has tried 64GB SDXC card on it
is that right can some one confirm before i buy it
thanks
there is this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20273764&postcount=4
I use 64 sdxc. bought the cheapest and format it to fat32 with third party tool. works excellent.
I use a 128GB SDXC card with mine. works like a charm.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/756124-REG/Lexar_LSD128CRBNA133_128GB_Professional_SDXC_Card.html
here is the link to the card I'm using.
I know this is an older thread and well not trying to be a noob. I see it does work with ICS update as well but my question is do you have direct access to it or do you have to transfer to the internal storage to use it?
I use MixZing for music MX player for movies and Astro for everything else. All these work with the specially formatted SDXC?
does the gallery app with the upgrade work as well to get access to photos on the card. I have heard that some programs will not find the card at all.
I don't have ICS installed, so many of these things will have changed.
In Honeycomb, the Sony stock apps required copying data to internal storage, but third-party apps could access it just fine. The only problem (which caused the occasional app to not find the SD Card), is that most devices mount their SD Cards as either /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or /mnt/external_sd but Sony instead (at least in Honeycomb) mounted it at /mnt/sdcard2 so some apps might not see it, but most still should find it.
Hi all, i'd like to share my experiment with this new-tech thing.
I bought a Sandisk 64GB micro SDXC class 10 the other day to be used in my new LGOG
I formated the card using my win 7 laptop as exFAT then put it in the phone. At fist it mounted fined and has no problem. Then I copied several GB of data to the card within my OG and the problem happens: the card unmount itself continuously after 1~2GB copied. It keeps unmounting and remounting for a few times before it mounts normally as the message appears "SD card unmounted unexpectedly".
That started making me worry so much. When it mounted normally I try listening to music in the card, after 30~60 mins of playback the unmounting problem came back.
This became so annoying that I tried to find a solution. Below are what I've tried which the problem still happens afterward:
- Formatted as exFAT in Windows 7 laptop. Not work.
- Formatted as NTFS in Windows 7 laptop. Not work.
- Formatted as FAT32 in Windows 7 laptop. Not work.
- Formatted as DOS-FAT in Macbook Pro 2012. Not work.
- Formatted as exFAT in Macbook Pro 2012. Not work.
- FULL formatted using SD Card formatter 3.1 (sdcars dot org). Took me more than 2 hours, still unmounting/remounting.
I did some researches too and found out a lot of interesting things
According to sdcard.org:
- Must use the card with SDXC compatible devices/adapter.
- Do not format SDXC card using incompatible devices/adapter <-- OMG i did it with my outdated laptop
And from Amazon reviews:
- Do not format from the SDXC card or it may cause instability. <-- this is the strongest reason I believe
- This Sandisk model is not compatible with Android 4.0 or above. <-- What the hell do they make it for? If you are curious enough to read the review then look for: Designed incompatibility/Don't support SanDisk By Tom Henriksen "Doggy Diner"
From all the evidences I could gather around I am stuck and the beautiful combos LGOG + 64GB class 10 is broken.
Ended up returning the card. Looking for a more stable one to dig in.
Thanks for reading and please share your experiences. Any comment is welcomed.
If you had googled a bit before trying this you would have known to just format it to FAT32 out of the box instead of all those other formats. You probably fried the card.

There should be NO issues with using this card I think this is purely user error.

I had this exact problem. Same issues on my lgog but worked fine plugged into my laptop using supplied adapter. As it turns out the card was defective. I contacted support and they agreed it needs to be replaced. Now the same SanDisk 64GB model new card is working perfectly so its not you, its the card.
I originally formatted my 64GB MicroSD card for my SGS3 and, after some research, I downloaded the free version of EaseUS Partition Master and formatted the card using FAT32. It's not the most efficient use of space on the card, but it works with both ICS and Jelly Bean quite well. And, it's now serving me quite well in my OG. :highfive:
Can one of you guys with that 64GB sandisk card see if you can make an EXT 4 partition on it in addition to a FAT32 partition and see if it works? Like SD-ext partition? It would be really nifty for using it as a flash drive/keep a couple 1080p bluray rips for miracastin' on there.
Hey guys,
I got a new 64GB MicroSD Card. There are lots of issues with this card formatted in FAT32. (Files dissappearing, re-transfer of files causes disk usage to go up, but files still missing. Sometimes there are in put output issues.)
I've done a badblocks test on the SD Card and it show no issues. I tried formatting this card in ExFAT and everything looks like it works good. The only problem is, my Springboard Detects no SD Card if its in this format.
My question is, how do I get my Springboard to read ExFAT formatted SD Cards.
Keep in mind, that when an SD Card is inserted into the device, it gets auto-mounted to /media/sdcard2
/media/sdcard is used by the internal memory.
I checked the play store and it suggested Paragon and USB OTG
I've downloaded Paragon and it does seem to detect it.
I've also downloaded USB OTG, and it also doesn't detect it.
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Zubin

Maybe this helps you or anybody:
Early this month Win7 got an update for Ralink based Wifi sticks, causing random errors during file transfers to both my androids with MyPhoneExplorer. Driver rollback helped.

Depends on HOW u transfer files to and from the pad(the card). I mostly use Wifi, and got OBEX errors and file skipping during bulk transfers.
I just realise that the tablet doesn't support exfat formated sd card. I tried to connect the card via the port (phantom 4 footage) and say it is not support exfat /ntfs format. The strange thing is that my note 10 plus support exfat and open the files. Unacceptable for this device. I hope there will be a fix soon. Does anybody knows any other method to open this kind of formats?
If the card is larger than 32 GB, then it's microSDXC. These cards come from the factory already formatted as exFAT because that's what the SD Association's specification requires. microSDXC has been available since 2009; surely the S7/S7+ support it. You can learn more than you ever wanted to know about SD cards from the excellent Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card.
I'd suggest you reformat your card, but not in your tablet. Instead, use the SD Association's formatting utility for Windows or Mac: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/. It configures the correct block size specific to your card.
My 512GB exFat card works just fine in my Tab S7+/LTE. I'd do like Steve suggests and reformat the card - sounds like either the block size is off or it isn't either of the formats you mention. Also AFAIK, NTFS isn't a supported option nor is HPFS.
