Have somebody tried using a 64 GB micro sd yet?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

yep, and with the new Note Update, it works flawlessly , make sur eto reformat it before hand.

Likewise I am using a SanDisk 64 GB SDXC - no problems after the update and formatting.

So the new update will format it correctly?

Yes, I even took mine out and re-formatted it to make sure.
The update definitely fixed that.

cool

I format my 64GB sdcard with this software 'MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition' and it works.

Yep, it even works without the update if you format it first. Plugged it into my Mac, used Disk Utility to format the card as FAT, then plugged it in. Works great!

Well, the point was that it was Formated by the tablet, which in turn does exFat, not sure if FAT, and ExFat is different, but exFat allows files bigger than 4.7GB

I tried using my 32GB ADATA micro SD formatted to exFAT before the update came out, and the tablet wouldn't take it until I formatted to NTFS. Confirmed exFAT compatibility after update?

Yes, mine works now. But I had to format it in my n7000 first.

exFAT is the format most micro-sd's are sold with. The exFAT format sofar didn't work with official Samsung bootroms, that's why you always needed to reformat. Now it seems Samsung has built exFAT support into the latest update, so you can use a fresh micro-sd straight out of the box.
edit: updated info.

Ok, so it still only reads FAT? Too bad... I would like to be able to put a 6Gb mkv-movie on the card but I guess that's not possible, right?

Yes, the FAT file system only allows up to 4gb files.
You'll wanna format your card to exFAT which allows much larger file sizes.

Can Galaxy Note 10.1 read exFAT formatted cards?
Brgds... /Tubgirl

Ummmm, the posts above indicate they can after the recently released update.

I've yet to see written down in plain english that it can read exFAT. I've only read that it can format 64Gb cards (which might just as well be in regular FAT just like the 5.3" Note).

Yes, if you format the SDXC card in the Note 10.1 - it WILL be formatted to exFAT.
I have done it and posted it here before. When removed and read on a Windows 7 PC it reads as exFAT.

And what if you don't have the Note Update? My first Note got the update, but I didn't like the changes in S-Note. I ended up returning that one for a problem with power button and got a new one (it's nice having a Frys right down the street that stocks 32GB grey ones!). My new one does not have the Update and when I checked for updates, it did not find it. I have read posts that implied that the Update was pulled - which is just as well, since I didn't like some of the updates.
So, anyway, for those of that don't have the Update and don't want to install it anyway, is there a way to get a 64GB card to work that will allow files >4GB and will work in a Note that doesn't have the Update?

yup fat32

Thanks for your reply!
But, I don't have the option for "fat32", I do have the option, "NTFS, and exFAT"
I've even tried to formatting through phone, still didn't work.

Honestly TRWP hasn't been very stable on the Note II imo and experience, Try CWM recovery and see if it works. I used an adapter, plugged it into my pc and when I chose to format I had the option for fat32, I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.

I tried this but, it did not work. Using an SD card reader, I still do not get the option to format to Fat32. Anyone have another suggestion? Also, CWM has the same issues. I cannot do a nano backup to the card.

latest update works great on my sandisk 64gb microsd card . It boots into recovery alot faster than the old version of TWRP. Will try this latest version for awhile and see.

For the life of me I can't get it to work. I have TWRP version 2.3.3.2, I just installed it straight from Goo Manager (as suggested on TWRP's website today). I have a 64gb Sandisk card, Class 10, exFAT (because I require to record LONG videos that go over the 4gb limit).
TWRP recovery can't see my external SD card, it won't mount it at all.
T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, ROOTED but NO custom ROMS and using STOCK kernel, LK8.
What gives?
Thanks so much!

SOLVED!! Just that fast! Thank GOD.
So here's what happened to me - I went to TWRP's website and THEY suggested on their site to install TWRP using Goo Manager because it was the "preferred" method. I obeyed. No dice. TWRP did install and I was able to successfully get the version that was right for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 phone, but the only thing that was wrong was that I could not mount my SD card in TWRP recovery.
Right on that same page on TWRP's site where they suggested to use Goo Manager, right on the same page, they had other options for installing TWRP, ODIN being one of them - and I loooove me some ODIN. So I went that route and decided to install TWRP through ODIN on top of the TWRP that I already had.
VOILA! ......as soon as I booted into TWRP I could see that my SD card was mounted PERFECTLY. exFAT, micro sdxc card, SanDisk, Class 10, no issue.
The fact that it's now mounted will permit me to test if I can make a backup straight to the card and restore from it, which is what I wanted to achieve this whole time.
For those that installed TWRP just fine and it SEEMS like it installed just fine and you ARE ABLE to make a successful backup to the internal SD card....that doesn't necessarily mean it was a good install especially if you can't mount your external SD card. Just install it again through ODIN and call it a day.
Cheers, my brethren.

Problem Using 64GB SD Card

I purchased a 64GB SD card for my NOte2 - when I attempted to use it the first time, my phone would not 'recognize" the card.
When I go to Systems/Storage - I see the internal SD Card and then an option to "mount" SD Card - when I click that I get a message that says "Safe to Remove" SD Card.
I tried formating the SD Card on my laptop (A samsung laptop for what it's worth) and the same thing happened.
I did some searching for help and found a download that was suggested to use to "format" the card - but when I tried that - I get a "SD Card Damaged".
I have tried saving files and moving them on my lap top - and the card seems to work fine - I just cannot get my NOTE2 to work with it.
Is there some other method I can try? Or any Suggestions anyone can offer?
It is the same kind of SD Card as my 32GB card is - and I purchased the card from a web site that said it was compatible with the Note 2 -
Any Suggestions?

I had your situation earlier today. I update the X3 Rom and suddenly the 64 gig SD card doesn't work anymore.
I read that it was the kernel. I switch kernel and the SD card work find again.

Thank you that was it! I was using the NOTE2Core Kernel (EXtreme version) so after reading your reply I flashed the perseus Kernel and lo and behold - the 64GB card was there.
I haven't tried the other Note2Core kernel - but I will just to see if that one works and if no one else has raised the issue in that Thread I I will ask the DEV if there is something he can do to fix it.
THANKS for the tip - it is a great relief.

Have you tried to reset your phone? That might be the issue and not the card itself.

you mean like factory reset?

Yes....however....
Some kernels and roms or the combination of the two....May not support a 64 gb card...
We have several threads regarding this issue...and in many instances this is the case...
See the development section for the exfat support threads....as they will help identify the issue for you.
At any rate...64 gb cards will have issues on non~stock rom and kernel combinations without the proper patch.
They are available in development....
Something to do with vold and corruption of the file system...g

Ok thx for the answer. And after a few reboot of the phone he started to read the card correctly. Card was good since my computer had no issue reading it

[Q] Micro SD Card Compatibility?

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltetmo) running Liquid ROM v2.37 and I was wondering if this ROM is compatible with a 16 or 32GB Micro SD Card, or do I have to format it in a certain way?

Put it in and see. Not like your phone will explode start WWIII...
But yes, it will work just fine.

It should work just fine but just to be sure it would be best to format
the 16 or 32GB card using a windows utiliity which formats in fat32.
That way you will never have any issues or problems with it.
Here is the direct download link for the fat32 formatter:

Yes even 64 GB - some roms l;ike Wicked which I have I noticed the SD card needs to be formatted in fat-32 not the standard out of the box format. Then it works fine.
Go to the Play store and search APARTED I use it and it formats in fat-32 super fast and easy! You can even use that program to partition it. I was on Wicked V8 (4.2 Android) using a 5 gig partition and links-2sd to move all apps and data to the external SD. Now when I re-do the phone to V9 (4.3 android) if It has Apps 2-SD which it should, I will still partition and see if I can't get all the apps on a certain partition and my stuff on another
So long story short yes will work. Any issues like won't mount aka not showing in storage - external storage - just get APARTED from google play and use it to format the SD card in FAT32
