I just put one in the phone and viewed that under storage it sees it ok. Good sign I guess since I read many people cannot even get phone to read it or see it properly. Does anyone know what if anything I need to do next? I am running Beans build 4 and its own rom. I read that Perseus maybe an issue with this card so I figured not to change roms for now at least.
If you are going to use CWM, you will need to reformat it to FAT32 (it is exfat now)
If not, you are good to go the way it is.
I am running perseus kernel with that card with no problem.

Yes John I want to continue to use CWM. I guess I need to reformat it on the PC I guess then. I need to see how that is done. The card came with an adapter at least.Ijust found a video that shows a note 2 in Korea stock with a 64gb card in both slots!:silly:

Two things with these cards:
1: back it up religiously, I have had two of them go bad on me.
2: if that procedure for formatting it won't work for you (some versions of windows can't do this by default), then use EaseUS Partition Master. That is a free DL and works super.

I tried this method and it is quick to format the ex fat to fat32. Once you click on the picture the GUI exe file will download to your PC. Click on the exe file and a pic of the drive where your card is located will pop up. Mine was in the g drive make sure you got the right location up and then hit format. In like 5 seconds this thing will reformat your card to fat 32 and "BAMM," your in fat city.

Problem is Bill the only drive this program or any other method I have tried does not see the usb drive.It only see for example the C drive. The only way it see the drive is when I put a very small sized SD card it it. Seems the 64 gb sized card is the maun issue. The card does work in the phone and can at least be seen though.
I finally was successful to turn the card into Fat32! It was a bad card reader causing all my frustration!
Thanks for all the help
Now on to see if a swap is worth the cards in the phone with beans build 5

Let me ask you something, if you switch to say an aokp rom or cm or maybe even clean rom, does your main memory (internal memory) stay swapped or does it revert your main memory back to 16gb?

Actually, now that TWRP works with exfat I find that exfat works perfectly fine with android.
I have a TON of bluy-ray movie rips that I like to store on my card and quite a few of them are over 4 gigs. FAT32 won't allow any file over 4 gigs, so I would have had to recode them all which I don't really feel like doing.
Although there is no advantage to this large a file if it will only be used in the phone (although this phone can handle them just fine), I use the phone as a source to hook to hi-def TVs etc.
Yeah, got my 64gig last week. Formatted as exfat, it has performed great, have the sd/internal swap from the beans rom and everything is working great.

Works perfectly on my phone. My card came pre-formatted as exFAT but I can also format it that way on my Mac.
Mine came as fat32 for some reason, despite being a 64gb card. I just recently switched to exfat after having to hit record 3 times to get a recording in its entirety. Stupid 4gb limit.

UM lets see maybe because i came from a iphone already. The whole purpose of extra storage is to use it. Im aware you can use it for music and videos. It was a simple question because i havent had a android for years and before you were able to install apps straight to the SD Card.
You can't actually install the apps to the external SD card, but with the previously mentioned Filemount you can move the large data files to the SD card. the 9 gigs you have available will go quite a while with media files on the external SD card.

Yes. Also don't hold your breath on the installing apps to SD card thing.
Install your game, use FolderMount to simlink the folders to the SDcard. it will trick the phone into thinking the files are still on internal memory when they really are on the sdcard. only thing is you need root

root explorer is another great app to have

I won't deny that it works for you but I know for fact it doesn't work for me and many many other people. U can read these forums and Google it and there are issues. For me it creates a dir on my sd card but it's just a mirror of the original dir on the phone. So it actually doesn't save space. Has anyone else got foldermount to work and can verify it's not just mirroring the original dir? I'm using the SanDisk 64gig card from amazon.

Weird enough suddenly I found all my external SDCard files have all permissions like:
---rwxr-x
Why !?? This happens to every file I copy onto it.
I needed them like:
rwxrwxr-x
so far, the only rough and long way I found is through Aromafilemanager and PhilzTouch recovery.
Yet I have to change the permissions one file at a time.
Can anybody help?
Sounds like a problem unique to you, I've never heard of it.
Flash the official stock rom, format your sd card in your pc using the industry formatting tool and test.
If the problem disappears then it was probably some combination of your individual setup.
Yep. Also ensure you haven't got any scripts running at startup. Sd permissions are set on boot and cannot be changed afterwards

which filesystem do i have to use in formatting extsdcard 8gb via pc? exFAT / FAT32 / EXT4 / NTFS ?
moreover, in this post and following on dev rom thread, it seems it's a normal behaviour... am i missing sth?
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4
Fat32 is the normal filesytem.
If it's common to your rom then your chef is the best one to approach, he may have set a script or mod.

I read through about 7 pages of sd card issues on the s3 and thought i cant read anymore, so i thought i would just ask. I've just bought an s3 and i got my 64gb sd card from my old phone to my new one. Problem is i have data from other games in the SD and titanium back up files in the externel sd card. Seems the S3 has its own built in SD card and only reads from that. I copied my TB files from externel to the internel. Now the games still require Extra files although they are in the externel SD. So how in the world do i get it to read my Externel sd instead of my internel? I thought of copying the files but i have 16 gb internel, 64 externel so its not gonna work considering i have 39 gb left in my 64 gb one,
I own a Sprint Sgs3 rooted. A while back I was running a 4.2 rom, I believe liquid smooth. From that I did a clean install and switched to a 4.3 rom to try it out. When it got to the home screen it said my SD card may be corrupted and asked me to format. I hit yes and nothing seemed to happen but I no longer got the error. I switched back to a 4.2 rom and it says my internal memory is 95% full and my SD card has 16 gb free. Before this happened it was split between the two so internal wasn't nearly as full. How do I get it back like that?

Wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am.
Was using my phone and my Samsung 64GB class 10 Micro Sdcard "ejected" although it was still in the phone. It had been working fine for a week. I manually ejected and placed it back in but it will not read. I get the "Scanning/Preparing SD card" Message but it always says unavailable. Thinking that my card crapped out on my, I put a brand new Kingston class 10 64 GB sd card but experiencing the same results. Oddly enough, I have an old Class 10 Transcend 8GB card that will read. I am running the stock OS-Unlocked Boot/Rooted/S-off. Only mods I have done are flashing the released HTC kernel that is R/W. (Dont know if I need to reflash the one that came with the phone), and flashed the SD card write fix posted in this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700310
Anyone know where I can get the stock ATT kernel that may have the correct drivers for ext sd? Any suggestions?

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I have a SD card reader on my laptop and it recognized the card just fine but if I put the card in the phone and plug in the phone to computer via USB, it will NOT recognize/see the card.
Im pretty sure it is a software issue. Does anyone have access or a link to the stock ATT kernel/boot.img?? I'd like to troubleshoot but forgot to make a back up before I flashed the R/W kernel released here. Thanks.
Doesnt matter if the sdcard reader sees it fine in windows, your more than likely going from windows to android, try what I suggested. If the card is not formatted @fat32 it will not be read in phone...

Went to try and reformat them again and am getting some weird results.
If i plug them directly into the computer with an adapter and use SDFormat to format them, then the M8 will read the cards? However, it only reads half the amount of memory (30gb) and I do not have an option within SDFormat to change the size. Since M8 now reads the card, I went to format it within the storage settings and once that completes, it no longer recognizes the card...?? Not sure how that is possible unless the phone is reformatting the card to a format it does not recognize..?
Use sdcard reader on laptop format fat32,set it to default size...it varies on different cards, 4 kb 8kb 16kb etc...

Thanks for the continued assistance. I have done this but still only have Half of the advertised memory. When I first installed it out of the box, it worked and showed full memory (62gb). Also, the default windows formatting tool will render the card unreadable by the M8 so im using the program called SDFormatter. Seems like I'm running in circles so I guess I'll just deal with half the memory for now. At least it works.

Use above instructions to remove all partitions from sd card. Insert into phone it will prompt you about it being damaged and ask if you want to format it. Answer yes.
If you still continue to have issues, it is most likely a hardware issue.

Thank you guys for the help!
I tried using the above fix (disk part) but it didnt even recognize the device. L0ng story short. I was able to use BOOTICE to reformat my KINGSTON Sd card to 60 GB but my samsung only reads 30 (even though it is advertised as 64) I read that when you reformat some Samsung cards, there is a protected area that most generic formatting utilities can overwrite and render the card to half capacity. Not sure if that's the case but oh well. Got it the other card to work. Thanks so much guys! Now if I can figure out why the phone isn't turning on now.....
