Micro-SD on NTFS ? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I do have a question (a dumb question some might say) about the micro-sd support on TP2. Can the TP2 support NTFS formatted micro-sd ?

Sorry,
It will not be able to read NTFS formatted SD card.

It won't read exFAT either.

Thanks for the heads up.
I haven't tried exFAT on my microSD card yet (it isn't big enough to warrant its use) but it works very well with the hard drive on my digital broadcast decoder/recorder

sandisk 64 gb exfat

i formatted my 64 gb to exfat and i connected my phone to my pc...it reads the card and everything but i am still limited...it seems that the file size limitation of fat32 is still present..
when i go to properties (when the sd card is in my phone) it says file system: generic hierarchical instead of exfat..is that why?
thanks in advance
For what it's worth, I tossed my card in the phone from SanDisk and it was formatted exFat already. Sounds like you might need another format. I don't know why there have been so many problems with these cards. I've read a lot about people frying them while formatting also.

yeah i noticed it was already exfat..i just formatted it again anyway to be safe..i also read about being messing up their cards while formatting
when you plug your phone in a pc does it still show as exfat?
I formatted my 64gb card to exFat back when I had my S3, and it's worked perfectly. Now I just got the S4 and before I root my phones I run through a quick little checklist to make sure I'm good to go; when I checked, though, my computer, too, reads it as "generic hierarchical". I know I formatter it to exFat - that's the only way I was able to make it work in the first place. It doesn't appear to have any file size limitations, but I'll transfer something massive onto it just to check. Unless someone knows this doesn't matter, I'll back it up, reformat it, then refill it and root. I'm kinda lost as to how the computer won't read it as exFat, though.

[Q] New 64GB micro SDXC card not working in Galaxy S4

I just purchased a new 64GB SanDisk SDSDQX-064G-A46A micro SDXC card from Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171773
The card works fine in my S3 and in my PC, but it will not mount in my S4, not even from Clockwork Recovery. Both my S3 and S4 are running the stock ROM, but the S4 is rooted where the S3 isn't. I went to the local T-Mobile store and while they didn't have an S4 to test my new card in, they did have a Note 3 which mounted my new card just fine. Additionally the 32GB card that was in the Note 3 mounted just fine in my S4.
What is going on here?
Format the card to Fat32 on your PC and see if that works.

There is no option to format to FAT32, only exFAT. Additionally, from what I read here Windows cannot format FAT32 volumes lager than 32GB.

A bit more reading and it seems the kernel that removes the SetUID restriction causes issues with exFAT formatted cards. Thankfully the fix is easy, just needed to install this exFAT module from recovery. The entire process is described here.

Here is a free windows utility which will format any size sdcards using FAT32.
Give it a try. Here is the direct download link: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/download/fat32format.zip
Good luck!

There's plenty of software to format the 64gb card to Fat32. I'm running a 64gb card in Fat32 format right now.
☞ Sent from here☜???
shouldnt need to format to fat32 i have 2 diff sandisc 64g cards in tmobile s4's and they are exfat and work fine.. are you sure you are on stock kernel.. if you change it lots of kernels do not work for exfat.
I found guiformat made mine work. Same card and I was having issues, too.

ExFAT support for otg.

Can NTFS formatted drives be supported on nexus 7 from otg?
When I insert it says damaged drive, need to format.
Need help.
Yes, I use a 64gb SD card formatted in exFAT using Paragon to set SELinux to permissive.
Mines 1 TB hard disk formatted with NTFS don't work.
Any way to do NTFS??
Sorry question was wrongly posted,I actually wanted to try NTFS.
I just told you, download Paragon.

[Q] How to Enable NTFS support for SD Card on Windows 10 Mobile?

We all know that since Microsoft's transition from CE Kernel to NT Kernel on Windows Phone 8, they started to support NTFS file system on C: while SD Card still doesn't have that support by default....
I was just wondering if we can enable NTFS support on Windows 10 Mobile? If we got NTFS, we can do some cool tricks like mklink D:\Android to C:\Data\.....................\Android on Windows 10 Mobile :3
So any ideas? :3

I don't think there's a open API (or even private) to format a partition.
The only way would be to change the way the system handle SD Card, to format to NTFS. And I think that would be VERY hard.
The easy way: Just format the SD Card on a computer.

I don't need formatting it to NTFS with my Phone, what I am looking for is NTFS support on SD Card, because it's a fact that C: on Windows Phone was using NTFS. If we got NTFS on sdcard, tricks like mklink will be possible (and darn helpful :3 XD ). Formatted my SD Card to NTFS earlier thou, when I plugged it back to my Lumia, it says it doesn't support the file system..... :/

You are correct. SD Card support on Windows 10 is only FAT32 and exFAT. No NTFS support for SD Card.

SD-card filesystem

What filesystem do you use on G4 SD-card?
Why? What version of OS you have?
exFAT for external micro-SD card in LG G4 H818P. R/w perfectly. BB used Win7 x64

Do u do anything special to get exfat working? Do other apps see the exfat sdcard as an available source to access? I tried exfat but kept getting the error saying unsupported file system. Thanks
@welder73, not sure which is faster but exfat support larger than 4gb files while fat32 doesn't
About speed. I did'n see difference between exFAT and FAT32. About the same.
And I did'n do anything special to get exFAT. Just formatted micro-SD on PC via SDFormatter utility. I thing exFAT support may be available or not on different ROMs for different countries. I am on stock v10d-CIS. It's ok by default.
Also I saw then users flashed rooted system from one region to another stock ROM (SEA, PHL) - no exFAT support. May be answer is in some files in system (bin, etc) or in some files in another images from full KDZ/TOT.

ExFAT on a big SD card. Because it's a one way street on a phone capable of shooting videos that cost half a gigabyte per minute.
Stock marshmallow H815 EU.
Didn't have to do anything special other than format it using the native windows 10 format application. Phone accepted it no questions asked.
Speed wise don't expect observable differences over previous file systems. SD card hardware is the main factor.
You have to use Fat32 for SD cards smaller than 32 GB and exFat for SD cards bigger than 32 GB. Speed and reliability depends on the brand of the SD card. I used without issues a Samsung micro SDHC EVO UHS-1 (32 GB) and a SanDisk Ultra Android microSDXC, 64GB, 80MB/s, Class 10, UHS-I.
