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.
First.
Sorry for my Bad Englisch.
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.
EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.1 Home Edition not See any SDCard. Format impossibel. (Windows)
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.

Hi guys
I just installed Cyanogen OS CM12.1 nightly 20160203 to my Xperia Z2 tablet SGP521 (the one with LTE)
after i thinkering with it for a while, i just realized that there isn't any microSD installed
so i pulled out the card and try to figure out what is wrong
I googled and find some answers but none of them is working for me
I tried to change the filesystem format to FAT32 with 3 different programs (acronis disk director, ease us partition magic, and dos version formater) and none of them is working.
my card is a exFAT file system
I'm very sure that my card is not a fake one (it is a sandisk ultra 64 gb microsdxc class 1)
I can read it from the card reader and it shows all the files inside but i cannot write to it and it is not showing in my tablet
Any idea what else to do to fix this?
Thanks guys
The situation
I have a 64GB MicroSD inside a tablet. It is formatted with FAT32. FAT32 is still the most compatible when connecting it to TVs, PCs etc. The card is full too so that's another reason I want to leave the MicroSD unchanged. But I want to download files in excess of 4GB now using taxpayer-funded public wifi (and FAT32 doesn't support large files).
The plan
I want to connect a 32GB USB memory stick to the tablet with a USB On-The-Go (OTG) cable. It will be used to download various Linux ISOs in excess of 4 GB each.
Is this possible?
PS. Yesterday I became aware of https://github.com/Lurker00/Android-fs and installed it, but I still cannot 'see' the files on my USB stick (I formatted with both exfat and ntfs using a Windows 7 laptop). I think this github project is just meant for MicroSD cards, not USB.
Is there a workable solution to download Linux ISOs (in excess of 4GB) on a USB stick using Android 4, 5 or 6?
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.
