How would you go about formatting it on the EVO. Settings>card>erase SD card?

Use RA recovery. You will see partition SD card. You have 3 choices. Swap-set to 0, ext-2-set to 1 gig and fat 32 for the rest. You have a big card so 1 gig ext-2 is good for apps to SD. Just make sure you backup what you want to save first.

is it a genuine Sandisk? there are a LOT of Chinese fakes on eBay, some barely work, while others don't work at all...
use any of the methods described in the other posts to format it, you can use either the phone or your computer.
good luck!

Thanks guys I formatted it thru my settings and then did a partition thru Amon Ra thing seen to be going ok. SO FAR. I hit the thanks buttons tomorrow when I get to a computer.

This is probably the case. A lot of flash-memory based devices on eBay have 128mb of usable memory and the controller continually overwrites it as it writes to anything above the 128mb ceiling. So... your ROMs would be bad, your pictures would disappear, everything would be broken after the first 512mb is full. Keep in mind that the file table would be in the first part of the drive so all of your files would actually appear to be on there.
Here's a good story with an example: http://technogra.ph/2011/05/05/man-...-drive-disguised-as-fake-samsungs-hard-drive/

Your right Jason. I formatted this thing til I was blue in the face and still no dice. Yup I got burned. Teaches me to not buy from the damn Chinese anymore.

Yes. Put in the 64GB SD card, go to settings (storage), unmount, format SD. Your microSD should now be partitioned the right way to use it.

I tried it but it won't read as it is a 64 GB card for some reason or its not reading it at all , I don't know if I had to go back to ICS ROMs or what

You have to format it in FAT32 with your PC.
If you Google it, you will find a little program that will do that.
I know there is a thread on XDA about this, but I'm at work and don't
have time to search for it.

Do you have a Blackberry around? That happened to my microSD when NOTHING at all would read it. I just stuck the card into a Blackberry to see if the card was broken. On the screen, there was a pop-up that said that I had a new memory card inserted and it asked if I wanted to format it. I hit yes, and all of a sudden, my microSD card started working again.

Can I ask where you got your 64gig card from and how much it cost? I would really like to get one. Thanks

Format 64gb. Sandisk micro SD to fat32

First and for most I am not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone, computer, or sd card. I am simply posting to help anyone ot there who might have an error with there new cards.
So along with alot of others who jumped on the 64gb micro sd sales I purchased from best buy. When I tried to get my phone to register the card which was originally extfat by default it wasnt recognized. So then I tried formating to ntsc to yet again fail. I finally tried to convert to fat32. What follows is a guide to get uou 64gb sd card to fat32.
First make sure you backup any info you might have on you 64gb. Card because formatting will erase EVERYTHING.
Second, connect your micro sd to a computer. I personally used the micro sd to full sd adapter that came with my card.
Third go to the following website
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
And download the gui app by clicking the picture.
Fourth run it. Make sure you select the right location to were your sdcard is.
Fifth click the allocation to your preference (im not sure what this is suppose to do but I set it to max roughly about 64-65) then make sure you select the right destination if not you can format your hdd on the computer. Then press the quick format and start button.
Sixth the script should take less then a min. To be done and have a formatted fat32 64gb microsd card..

How common is this issue? I've got a 64GB Sandisk with exformat in my T889 with no apparent problems (so far).

Im not to sure how common it is but I ran into trouble. I tried the default for the card then ntsc and it wasnt registering with my phone althought I must say I was running perseus kerenel with the memory swap script. Then after I formatted to fat32 it work. Not sure were I read on some other people running in to trouble with the same sandisk card until they formatted.

Hmm...well, I think I've also read similar around the net. Good of you to share your solution!

Yup hopefully they hold up. I had a 32gd. Sandisk sd with fat32 and this 64 gb card doubles that so now I have about 74 gbs. Of usable memory. I play alot of gameloft games those things are memory whores

I bought Sandisk 64gb card from best buy..my phone reads the exfat card fine..but when I use mtp transfer my computer recognizes the card as generic hierarchical and limits my file size..is there a way to Mount the actually card as exfat without removing it from my phone?

It'll format it but it says 27GB not 59GB so it's only seeing half of it.

Hmm. I dont even know there's an issue like this. I bought my card online 64GB Sandisk Class 10 during the Thanksgiving sales and its like plug and play since then. No problem at all.

I've gone through 2 64GB sd cards. They work for a while and then something odd happens. I write to the card but the file is gone if my phone reboots. Permissions issue maybe?

Wow! The OP was a bit long to go through and I didn't quite understand it, so I tried the above program.
One click to format it and I got from 32GB to my 64GB back!
Thanks!

This is weird i had just installed my new sd card and 5mins later it unmounted and was unable to read or write to it. Im running stock by the way. Im getting a new one next week any tips.

I was told that the ROM I have doesn't read a 64 gig card..the last time I tried to download a torrent I was told I didn't have enough storage space..I have 36 gig left on it..I downloaded the music, and I saw it was all there..right after I did a restart the music was gone...Do I need to reformat the card to exfat or fat 32? It is a Sandisk, I never formatted the card..I was told we don't have to format a Sandisk card, they come that way...I have a Note 2 from T-Mobile...

I just had the same thing happen to me..I downloaded a bunch of albums..they were there..then I rebooted and they were gone...but when uTorrent was downloading it told me I didn't have enough space..I told it to go ahead anyway...they made it but then disappeared..

I have had my 64gb. San disk for about a year and a half without any issues. I formatted the way I outlined in the first post and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I know that the first post could be a bit tedious but it is the RIGHT way. No short cuts. I did have an issue with some kerrnels. For example saber kernel from Jedi Roms says that it can swap your memory partition from external to internal and it does for about a week and then for some odd reason it just locks your SD so you can't download or delete any thing. The combination I have been using is an old school pegasus kernel with a memory swap script. I have been using that for a long time and not only is it the most stable memory swap, but the kernel has never messed up my SD either. P.S. just my 2 cents

[Q] Problems with 64 gig SD Reads 36gigs

I have a SG Note2 ..I bought a 64 gig card ( Sandisk) when I got the phone, installed and formatted it. Up until last week I didn't really notice the storage on it. I was downloading some old albums via uTorrent and all of a sudden I was told I had insufficient storage space. I downloaded anyway, checked, made sure all was on the SD Card, and then did a restart..after the restart all my newly downloaded music was gone, and I saw that I had 59 gigs TOTAL SPACE..but only 36 gigs AVAILABLE SPACE..
My phone is Rooted, and somewhere I remember being told that none of the ROMs recognize 64 gig cards. I did not root my phone, a friend did it for me and I spoke to him today ..he told me that I should try and reformat the card with the phone again..I did and once again it said I had 36g of storage available..but showed 59g Total Space.
Can someone tell me if this is a problem with the ROM or is it a problem with the phone..I have read in other Forums that Samsung doesn't support 64g SD Cards..is there any way to get the phone to recognize the card? Or is it an error with the card? I am not sure that it read 64g when I installed it, I just assumed it did.
I am in the process of trying to learn how to re root my phone, I was content to just let it be.if it is a fact that I will never have access to 64g on this phone as a Rooted Phone, then perhaps I should go back to Stock?
I could really use some help..I am truly lost in technical jargon..and do not fully understand rooting..If you all could help me out here I would appreciate it...I would like to learn, but like any Newbie I am scared I'll mess my phone up..I am good with Computer stuff, just scared of Killing my phone,,LOL!

59.45GB is what mine shows and I believe that is correct. The note 2 definitely does support 64GB cards.

Format sd card in FAT32. Maybe it's in NTFS now, or even unformated. You can do it from recovery, from windows (when mounted) or from phone itself

Claim your warranty. Maybe sd card is damaged (it can happen, mine 32GB card got damaged too after 3 month of use)
