[Q] sd card format... - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

What format is everyone using for this tablet? I have a new SanDisk Ultra 64gb card, and I don't know if I should format to exfat or fat32...
Any advice?

Hello?

Doesn't it have to be FAT32? But in any event, if you put it in the device and it's the wrong format, the device should prompt you to reformat it automatically.

Works with exFAT. You can put larger files on exFAT over FAT32 which has a 4gb limit...
Most 64gb sd cards come pre-formatted exFAT..

Thanks!

mine Keeps rejecting the one I had in my note 2 Exfut should work though

Use your tablet to format the card. I think it will format exfat.

Good to hear. If you get an adaptor you can actually run (theoretically) up to 2 Tb sd cards. I have a 128Gb sd card attached, via a micro sd to sd adaptor, and am waiting for my 256Gb sd cards to arrive...
Got the adaptor here if interested - http://linitx.com/product/sdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter/11922

SanDisk releases mobile ultra MicroSDXC 64GB - On sale immediately [SHARE]

There is another similar thread in the Xoom section, but I'm thinking of sharing this information more specifically in XDA general.

Check it out, and let me know what you guys think. It's on sale at SanDisk's website at $219 but don't rush it.
Any devices supporting this?
Any Cell phone's?

I have stated in my website.
Currently there are no confirmations whether what devices support it due to the different memory interface. SanDisk doesn't provide any information as of now, so it's better to wait until the confirmation goes out for exFat systems.
I saw a post about formatting in FAT32 and it worked.
Not sure how true that is?

It is possible, but i think it does affect the system writing process. the reading speed might even be affected too.
shouldn't be too long before the 128GB cards come out
I have it and few other guys at SGS2 forum section. By default card is formated "exFat" our galaxy s2 phone can't read it, but offers to format it "fat32" takes few seconds.
After that it works perfectly fine.
Should work on any phone if formated to fat32. Hopefuly in the future we will have native exfat support.
From what I've heard Windows Phones should support 64GB microSDs without any formatting required since exFAT is Microsoft's proprietary file system. They either support them now or with the Mango update, but either way they're supported.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.

That's the whole point exactly. I'd rather speed than storage.
It seem to be used in camera

Cameras usually use SD instead of microsd
wonder when android is going to increase the capacity

does E4GT support 32GB microSD?

Has any one try it?
Yes it does.

It supports up to 48GB

It support's 64GB micro sd card also from the looks of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336961
Also I believe I had also seen a thread where someone use an adapter that combined 2 32micro sd card and it read that fine as 64GB. I believe the limitation for sd card support should be in how much Android itself can support.

Try to leave the card in the phone and use a cable instead. The more you handle the card the greater the risk of ruining it. It's not Note2 specific... the same goes for all phones.

I got same problem last time and fortunately can back it up before its broken. And the seller also refunded and I bought Transcend ultra 32GB...
Is this Transcend also have the same problem?

What format should my MicroSD card be?

As the title says, I googled alot and some say exfat is good and some say fat32 is good too im confused. What format should it be for the note 2? It is kingston 32gb class 10.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
FAT32 works with pretty much everything. The big downside is it only supports files smaller than 4GB.
If you only have small files it's smart to use FAT32.
exFAT probably won't work with AOSP ROM's.
