sd format type

I'm not sure if this is something I've just blatantly over looked on all my android devices (shsme on me if so) but is there a way to see if my sd card is fat32 or exfat without having to connect it to my pc to check? thanks for any help.

i always thought it could only read fat32, so my guess is it has to be fat32

i can assure you that "only fat32 is pretty far off, as im pretty sure ive had ext2,3 and 4 amongst a few other types. but thanks for trying

some recoveries have an option that lets you view all the different file systems on your phone and sd card. see if your recovery supports that.

maybe i just didn't realise that i may have seen it in clockwork...does anyone know of a recovery that specifically has this function/ability?

Ext4 does but we don't have support yet...
Do it on your pc if you have an sdcard reader.

my pc croaked last week. that's why I'm trying so hard this way...now when u say "ext4 does" are you meaning that there is a new custom recovery named ext4 just like the format type? or do you mean something else?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

There is a custom recovery called ext4 that allows you to see what format your sd card is. Not for the gs3 yet.

It's actually called "4ext recovery", should've mentioned that

I'm having the same issue. I guest that's why I'm scared to put my new SD card in my phone. The SD card that I had before I was getting an error message saying that SD card is now damaged.

You can use an app like Link2SD where instead of moving the app, it links things like the cache to the external. Probably not exactly what you wanted, but it semi does what you're asking.

at least there was a Chinese software can move all stuff to external sd card.
called 360 Safety Guard.

Okay I will try does out guy thanks

I'm not sure why you'd need to but try apps2sd from the market - it's free.

That's pointless in this phone.
If you read the app description is even says, "Not supported devices: * Galaxy S3, Note 2, Galaxy Nexus, Tablets"
The only way to get apps installed in sd card is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931500

Ahh, my bad. Thanks.

You need something like Directory Bind. Kind of tricky though. Unfortunately gone are the days that google will support moving apps away from internal memory.

Hey I need because internal memory is 14 gb so when it geys full I want app which I move the data to sd card

This function is not supported, however you can change to custom roms that may support this, or just install redpill kernel and use the function in the stweaks to make your external sdcard an internal sdcard. This is the easiest method If you get any problems just post some question in the link below, i'll be making some tutorial on how to do this kind of things soon

HELP! ! SD Card Question

I just got a note 2 and cant move any apps to my SD card... ive searched everywhere and cant find anything. Any suggestions?

I don't believe it's possible to do that anymore, unless you make it to where the phone reads the external as the internal.

You need root I think

You'll need to use our external path as it's different from the S3.

So would all the commands be the same for the paths or would I have to change them?
