Good afternoon
I had a 32GB sandisk (micros sdhc, class 10) in my S3 and recently it started to play up (stopped recognising it/said it empty) until it finally stopped working. I was just sent a replacement, and I would like to ask you if I should format it/partition it in a specific way so that I won't have any issues with it?
thanks for your help

I know I'm off topic but is there a way to format EXFAT MICROSDXC 64GB to FAT 32?

Download g-parted, boot it, format the sd-card to fat32, then reformat it under windows to exfat if you want to store files larger than 4gb.

Hey there cowboy,chill!
Maybe it's a fake one?
Where did you get it?
What brand is it?
And how much did you pay for it?
Sure this isn't one of those dodgy cards? Where did you buy it?

I had the exact same problem when I first bought a 64GB card for my S3. Chucked it into my phone, formatted it and then found the phone would no longer recognize it.
Took it back to the retailers I bought it from, got it swapped and the second card has worked mint ever since.
Moral of the story: Probably just a dodgy card. Return it and get it another, most manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty.
Isn't this issue purely caused by the card format system? I thought maybe all card >32GB had to be manually reformated to FAT32 (and then to exfat to avoid the 4GB-limit) before mounting the card in the phone, and there wouldn't be an issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I plan to buy a 64GB card myself on of these days.

exFAT doesn't suffer from the same 4GB file size limit and 32GB (Windows) partition size limit as FAT32, which is kinda the point of exFAT in the first place, so no, you should just be able to format it straight off using Windows, to the full 64GB size using exFAT.
That said, I don't have one, so can't speak for how the GS3 handles formatting it itself...

Question
Support a Sony Tablet S - SGPT 112 DE/S 32Gig an SDXC 64gig SDCard
I have Purchased a Sandisk Ultra SDXC 1 64Gig Class 10 30Mbs
It not Work. The Tablet say. Please Insert a Storage Card. Format with FAT32 not help. With the SDXC Card inside, after boot the SDCARD Internal Memory is not Show Anymore.
Is the Card incomatible or generally SDXC
what version of android do you have now? You need ICS release 6 for sdxc support!
I may be mistaken, but I recall support for SDXC memory cards formatted exFAT was first provided with the 4.0.3 release 6b firmware update. However, SDXC memory cards formatted FAT32 can be used with earlier versions of firmware.
My Tab have
Android 4.0.3 realeae 1a
Kernel 2.6.39.4
Rooted.
Format as FAT32 not help. The Tablet Say Insert a SDCard. SDCARD Memory is gone.
Another
Format as NTFS with the Paragon NTFS & HFS+ APP not Work. Same issue.

We are talking about 2 different tabs here. R6b is newer Xperia tab s... R1a is original tab...
All you have right about sdxc ExFat format. Look at your sony site there is an info/statement about sdxc. Check, its there where are news about update . These sdxc formated are incompatible with sgpt 111/112/ 113 NOW . Maybe in future will be comp - who knows . I didnt check xts statement.
...but koto u can change sdcard format to Fat32 and you will have working with tab card.
I personally have same card as you but microsdxc 64GB with sd adapter. I resolved this problem by formatting it with my android phone (lt18i .4.0.3) .Exfat changed to Fat32. You can format it also via PC tool ( my case : I formatted my card first on PC win xp and after I have 32Gb card instead of 64. After that read somewhere that some OS ( windows generally) have restriction of reading Fat format to 32gb - but it doesnt mean that it cant read it. ) . Linux should read and be able to format to fat32 >32gb sd . Search 3 rd party app for pc to formatt.
Btw i have 4.0.3r5a,I can confirmed this card working also on ( 4.0.3.r5 ,4.0.3r1)
koto99 why you want to have ExFat formatted one ? transfer >5gb?You can also plug external hdd with ntfs and drive mount app with rooted tablet. Drive must have external dc to give own power supply.

Can your PC read and write the FAT32-formatted card?
With right click on it, what do you see in Properties (Eigenschaften)?
Yes Windows 7 64 Bit can Read an Write FAT32 SDCard. Card work on PC Perfect.

Strange...
Under Windows it looks good. Then only people who have personally experienced the case can help you. Sorry!
I pushed question about it to sandisk support. I ' ll post what they answered after I receive it.
Btw. read in support about sony nex-7 and sdxc. When formatted in camera windows 7 (which is compatible with exFat) sees as unsupported. When card is windows 7 formatted nex-7 sees as unsupported.
Btw1 about screen at #11 I see used space at 64.0KB. I experimented sth.After I formatted card the used space were same as I set in format tool in cluster size option. I tested this with easeus. Set to 8.0KB cluster size- after format used space was 8.0KB. If this screen is shortly after format you may set in format opt 64.0KB cluster.Did you try 32KB cluster? My Lt18i formatted my microSDXC as 32 KB cluster size and have active/ primary in easeus option.

Tablet not See the Card.

As I promised here is an answer from sandisk technical support. Maybe some info there is obvious. I want to post state of manufacturer. In my mail I asked if sdcard can be damaged permanently by formatting it to fat32 and consequences about that (in my sgpt111). Also asked about tool app to format inside tablet( most tablets don't have that option). Check the tech repply esp "the only consequence".
Dear Customer,
Thank you for emailing SanDisk Technical Support. It is our goal to make sure you have all the resources you need to get the most from your product.
I understand that in exFAT, the 64GB microSDXC card is not detected by your Sony tablet. This is because the tablet doesn't support exFAT. After formatting the card in FAT32, the card seems to be working fine in the tablet and shows the full capacity.
The only consequence you may experience by doing this is that you won't be able to add any files larger than 4GB, due to the FAT32 limitation.
Transferring a 4GB or larger file to a USB flash drive or memory card http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/289/kw/4GB
You will be able to format the card back to exFAT, if your operating system also supports exFAT: Operating Systems that Support the exFAT File System http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3389/kw/exfat
If I understand correctly, you would like to know also if there is a difference between the microSDXC card and the SDXC card. There is indeed a physical difference between both cards:
- microSDXC: SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card for mobile devices www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/?capacity=64GB
- SDXC: SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I Card www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/sd/ultra-uhs-1-class10-30mbs/?capacity=64GB
Regarding your question about the format option tool for the tablet, there currently are no development plans on this. You may keep an eye on the SanDisk webpage to see if there would be any plans on this.

Just bought a new sandisk 64gb card. When I try to mount the SD card I get "damaged card" notification in my status bar. I selected it and it gave the option to format. I did but to no avail. Will this ROM support that size?

I ran into the same problem before. Sadly, the Note does not support 64gb sd cards. The max that you can get is 32gb, unless someone out there can prove me wrong.
Been running a 64GB samsung card in my I717R since release date without issue. I did originally format the card in another phone.
If you need help please use the correct forum. Moved
Is the card formatted to NTFS ?....or FAT32?
also ....is the card an SDXC card ?
Been reading for a bit to attempt helping, and the card should function fine if first formatted to FAT32, but as stated by agoattamer ..cannot be done by the usage device.
Perhaps via card reader and PC ?
Hope it helps a bit ..g

I am using a Rogers branded Note with stock ICS. I purhcased a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD a while back. Out of the box, it would not work, as the card was formatted in exfat. I had to format it to FAT32 first.
Unfortunately windows 7 did not allow this.. I think the card was too big. So I had to google how to, and used a free utility to do it (sorry, I do not recall the name of the app).
Works great now
I did find a fat32 software that works. I only got 59.45gb out of it. I used 32768 for the allocation size.
Would a larger allocation size get me the full 64gb available?

You won't ever get the full 64GB. It is just how it is. Check your hard drives on your computer and you will find the same result.
Hi,
Atm I am using temasek v5 and I am trying to format my micro sdxc 64gb card. But all solutions refer to the settings menu but there is no option to format. Maybe that is a 4.4 issue?
Formatting it on my PC works but it can't be read by my phone.
Seriously no one has this problem and everyone can format his/her external sd card on 4.4?

My Sandisk 32gb class 10 seems to be insufficient. I'm gonna try a 64gb and maybe partition it to give more space on cm13?
