Exfat32 working on 32gb sd card on note2

Hi! Just to let you know that I have sucesfully managed to copy and play a 1080p 8gb film from my pc on to a 32gb sd card of my note2.
I formated the sd card from windows 7 using extfat system which supports over 4gb files.
Sd seems to work 100% all around..

Ive got a 64gb sandisk ultra sdxc card on its way from amazon I hope it works. Im reading some saying it works fine and others have had problems most of the reviews ive read are from galaxy s3 owners though so fingers crossed.

most spec lists say the note 2 supports up to 64GB, so it has sdxc support.
older devices only support sdhc, and they happen to (partially) support 64GB memory cards because sdxc is so similar to sdhc.

Need to format your 32Gb microSD card to ExFat32 format. Its in the settings when you right click the memory card from PC(My Computer)
Q. The new 64GB sdsx cards can we formate to exfat32 format as well and have blueray mkvs etc transferred directly from PC to Phone via Usb cable?

I already formatted it into an exfat format, still dont work

Same problems with external sdcard, even if it formatted as exfat no luck with transfer of large files (+4GB) over usb.
Airdroid and esfilemanager allows +4GB files over wifi tho.
Seems more a usb issue than a format bug
Edit: a way around this is to use: Easy UMS - Mount external microSD card as USB mass storage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
If mounts your sd as standard usb mass storage and is functional on N2.

[Q] Micro SD Corruption / Virus? (Help!)

Hey guys, I've searched and tried a bunch of different suggestions found in other threads, but this issue keeps recurring.
At this point I am wondering if this is a virus my AV is unable to recognize, or if maybe the card is corrupted somehow. See the screenshot I attached...After using a card reader to transfer all of my files onto my Team 64g SDXC last night, I verified that the card was not write protected, and went through all of the folders to verify this renaming issue did not occur. Everything was fine.
This morning when I started to flash the new MOAR, i started a backup with TWRP, and it says it cannot create the folder because the card is write protected. >_< So I backed up to the internal instead. Flash went fine, no problems. So then plug my S3 into my comp, I went to move some files to it, and just out of curiosity, decided to check several folders. Boom! Folders have been renamed again!
Ok so wtf is going on here? Has anyone seen this before? Possible virus? If this is corruption, why was it not showing up when I copied all the file last night?
*Edit: I should mention that the files/folders that have been corrupted cannot be deleted. Windows says they are write protected, but when you view properties, read-only is not checked. I can rename them, but not delete them... Argh!
Open to any suggestions here. I have tried guiformat, the HP format tool, the Partition Wizzard program, and the SD3 tool. Issue still recurs.
* Added another screenshot of files which have been corrupted. *

Sounds like your card got corrupted or a bad download of some kind. Have you tried ZARecovery? I used it once to at least get my files off the card, then transfer files to new card.
sent from somewhere

Thanks for the reply! Does that add up tho? Like I said, the files were fine last night, it's only this morning that the corruption in the files shows up. Also, it is only when the card is inserted in the S3 that I have trouble writing to it.

Is it a Sandisk brand? if so check out this article I just found, kinda interesting-http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-fault-is-caused-by-sandisk-memory-cards-50010684/

Yeah, sandisk admitted that some of their cards were faulty.
You can try reformatting your sdcard to see if that fixes it (copy everything that you need to your computer). If not, i would try to file a claim with sandisk.

After hearing all this about sandisk i got scared and went out and got a PNY card instead. Sucks cause I just got a sandisk mobile ultra 32 gig class 10 a week ago.. Ended up grabbing PNY 32 gig class 10. dam PNY sdcard was more then the sandisk!! I got the sandisk for like around 30$ on sale at radioshack. Got the PNY at staples for 50$!

I got my PNY 32gb class 10 for $27 after tax at best buy. I suggest taking yours back to staples and going elsewhere $50 is what 64gb cost.

Storage and SD class questions

When installing apps on the phone, are they installed in the hidden system partition, or on the internal SD card section?
Considering I would use the external SD card mainly for nandroid backups, pictures and videos – both captured by the phone itself, do I need a class 10 card or would a class 4 do?
Thank you.

To start with the internal SD card and the system partition are the same storage, just partitioned and both of them are accessible.
The application apk files are stored in the system partition while the InternalSD is used for user app data. You can store your stuff there too but try to leave a little memory free for your phone to use it without problems.
Secondly, I had an 8Gb Class4 Sandisk before, used it for months without any problem with regular use.
I am using a 16 Gb Class10 SanDisk now, and if you want more storage and use heavy files, like heavy high definition videos and high definition games, you should get a Class10, the read speed is noticeably better.
On side note, each nandroid backup is about 1.8Gb in size so storing them on SD card would be better

Since I am one of those heavy backup guys I am going for a 32GB one.
One this I thought about, I can imagine the card is limited by its reader, any idea if the GRAND even has a class 10 reader, seems like the spiritual father of the grand - the S# has only a class 6 one.

I agree. Most phone's support all class of card but they are limited by their reader. But I don't know which reader is in grand but it definitely supports class 10 cards as I'm myself using it and don't really know how to check it on phones.
Here's a benchmark test using ROM ToolBox Pro :

You get a decent idea of write speed, it's almost twice of the minimum set for any clas 10 card (10MB/s), so safe to assume that it's working good

Always use class 10 mc..

Well I am starting to change my mind and go for the class 10, may I ask which one are you using in that benchmark?

SanDisk Ultra SDHC UHS-I (Class 10) Card 16GB with a boosted read-ahead speed of 4096kb

Well I bought a Transcend 32GB class 10 card, tests are similar to your tiny bit higher, but reads seems way too high (around 300MB/s) maybe SD booster is measuring the internal SD, anyhow thanks for your help!

Best MicroSd Card? Samsung Pro vs Sandisk Ultra.

It's time to ditch my Sandisk at 48mb/s and upgrade. So...I'm wondering what is the best micro sd card I could get for this device? Two options I'm looking at are the Samsung Pro series with 90mb/s and the SanDisk Xtreme at 92mb/s. Is there anything better? Please share your experiences and thoughts.
Also does read/write speed affect how fast a photo is processed and video quality?

First.

Found a Samsung Pro 64gb 90mb/s on ebay for $15 bucks. Not bad when they usually sell between $60-$80 bucks. Hopefully I didn't get screwed. The seller did have a good reputation. I was going to share the link but it seems I've bought the last one.

That's a great deal. Let us know if you have any if the dreaded camera roll corruption issues

Not totally sure what that is. But sure I'll report back if any issues. Will also do speed tests.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. The issue is: you take photos and save to the sd card. Upon reviewing the photos you would notice they are corrupt (the grey picture of a mountain icon). They will also not work in a computer after this. The problem had been mentioned on these note forums and the note 3 guess?

I wasn't claiming a certain sd card brand name was corrupting photos, rather that the Note series appears to have an issue where any sd card runs the risk of failing.

I've had the Note 2, 3 & now the Note 4. None of them corrupted my sd cards. The only Galaxy series phone that did corrupt my sd card was the S4. It corrupted 2 of my sd cards. I think I just got lucky with the Galaxy Notes I've had.

Got my new Samsung Pro 64gb card. And I love it! No issues with pictures. Hdr photos used to take a few seconds to process. With new card it's instant. I've done a benchmark. It doesn't seem the Note 4 uses the full capabilities of the sd card speed. But it was a lot better than my Sandisk I've had for years and I found that is a class 1. Anyways its the best $15 bucks I've ever spent.
Samsung Pro 64gb class 10 (90mb/s)
My results for benchmark testing.
Note 4 Write speed ~50mb Read ~30mb
The card maybe a little overkill but at least it's future proof for devices that will take advantage of it. I've notice improved performance with camera and games that store data on the external sd card. The Note 4 internal sd is much faster. 160mb write, 90mb read. I've used A1 benchmark when testing.

Move apps to SD card? Adoptable?

Hi All,
I'm thinking of getting this phone, but I have a question or two.
I saw in a thread here that there may be issues moving apps to the SD Card. adoptable storage was suggested as the solution.
I was under the impression that HTC had disabled adoptable storage...is that not the case?
Also, when I tried it on my Sony device, some apps (GTA, iirc) complained that they needed an SD card to function. Is there a known workaround for this?
Essentially, I am concerned about storage in general. My current phone is rooted so it's not an issue for me right now, but I would not be rooting the HTC if I get one.
Any help / suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
DF

23 GB of available internal storage must serve your apps...
SD card is anyhow much more vulnerable and intended for storing your DATA..

After formatting your sd card as a part of internal memory - it physically remains ext sd card.. (or you believe in miracles?)
Writing speed into the internal storage is about 160 MB/s when writing speed to your sd card is more likely around 30-40 MB/s...

converting an external sd card to adoptable memory isn't advisable due to many reasons but still kept for users who has pushed their internal memory cap....
1) more chances of your data getting lost
2) you cannot read your card as a standalone sd card once its adoptable storage unless you format it back to external memory
3) speeds would vary still when apps are loaded from an adoptable memory
4) can't switch between phones the sd card unless you format it back to external memory again (this i doubt still)

theres a xposed module I believe that will allow apps to sd support.
my phone gets too hot using adopted storage with my 200gb Samsung pro+ and performance suffered so I quit using it
on a newer cheap phone with only 8gb storage I'm using the adopted and that don't seems to have the issues like the htc 10 of heat/ performance loss
