@rushing,
How did you get it to work.
I just got my 64gb microsd sdxc.
At first the phone said that it format was not supported.
Originally it was exfat format, so I decide to format it to a FAT32.
Now, The phone goes beserk when I insert it, the UI, media process force closes.
I inserted back the 32GB, then the phone goes back to normal
thanks in advance for your help

I also have a 64GB SDXD in my T-989. It works wonderfully, until I attempted to format it with anything other than fat32. However, today I found an app that let me format the entire sd card in ext4 and it auto-mounts on boot. That app is called NTFS Mounter [https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ntfs+mounter&c=apps] by Uladzimir Kazakevich. You will need root on your phone to use it.

Just ordered one of these. Someone posted it in the deals section and didn't want my fellow Note buddies missing out.

Thanks mate, appreciate it and will order immediately!

Are these genuine? It's kind of too good to be true.

Does galaxy note 1 suport ,recognize , the exfat file system?
I would buy one of these only in case my note will suport them.
If anyone knows about that pls let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi dcargirisc,
I can assure you 100% that this will work with your Galaxy Note 1 (N7000). You will have to format it in the phone and after that it will be recognized. Regarding the exfat I don't think that with the stock Kernel you will get it working, but I might be wrong about that.
To sum up, you will have it formatted as fat32 and it will work flawlessly. I have tried the speed test application and I am getting 10.6 Write mb/s and 16Mb/s read speeds, on SweetROM v3, which is what I was expecting.
Good luck.

GOoooooood New ! Thank i am going to get one !
never have enough for FLAC XD!
anyone have speed test for that ?

I bought mine 64G SD card in Oz for $90 delivered and formated to exFat but was not recgnised by the phone with LS7 ROM. Could not accept NTFS so eventually I did Fat32 which works.

What program did you used for formatting ? Under W7ultimate wont let me format other than ntfs and exfat .The device (JB ROM) is formatting it in exfat. It workes on the note on exfat but is not shown in cwm (cant flash anything from it)

Ive heard that these 64gb microsdxc cards can be damaged by computer card readers. I need to copy backed up files to it. Does anyone know of a card reader that is confirmed safe to use with these cards? Thx

Heard so too, took the risk an used the built in card reader (laptop) to read/write/then formatting it to FAT32 (saved me lots of headaches with kernels and cwm), and finally partitonning it to use Link2SD.
No problems so far

64 GB is not quite supported but can be made to work... -- my 64 GB Sandisk was formatted with ExFAT file system, which works fine with newer versions of Android JellyBean but not earlier. You may have to reformat as FAT to get it to work.
Do some searching on this topic, you'll find more information.

64 GB is not officially supported but works flawlessly in reality. Just format the card and you're good to go. I use a 64 GB card too.

Thank you, guys!

I have a class 10, 32 GB but I think that I'm going to buy a 64 GB

I ordered one from Amazon which I should get tomorrow.
Now I have a Samsung class 10 32GB which I am gonna mount in my girlfriend's Ace.
So, if I did understand, I only have to format from the phone and I should be ready to go. Is it right?

Yes.

In my opinion, it is always a good idea to "re-quickformat" a microSD card after purchasing, and BEFORE you mount it in the device preferred. It gives the chance to the circuit to be "revived", and this is much better done through a computer, than a smartphone or tablet.
My SanDisk 64GB microSD arrived with exFAT file sytem and an 128K cluster size, which is the default by the factory. I re-quickformatted it with the same factory parameters, as those were suitable for my needs.
Let us note that with bigger cluster size, comes better performance with the expense of more wasted (slack) space.
The reverse applies to smaller cluster sizes, of course.
It's a good thing that the newest Jelly Bean Roms (I use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626) DO support exFAT!

Memory Card Corrupt Issue

I reccently bought a 32gb kingston class 10 mmc.After inserting in my phone, it is showing mmc corrupted,tap to fix. No matter how many times I format, the same happened. For a couple of minutes it is reading and after a few minutes its showing corrupt error.
I am shocked to see that the files in Internal storage are hidden. My Music player showing no Music. My gallery not displaying more than half of the files. Even the locked image files in gallery are not shown. Someone in this forums said me to change the kernel.
Could anyone help me with the above issue? If kernel changing is the only solution, then which is the best kernel for LG LS990(Sprint)?
Thanku

Hi. What I found was the issue is only with the kingston mmc. Dnt know why, but it is the issue with. The kingston mmc is working fine in other phones except in fulmics. Bought sandisk 32gb class 10 and the card is working superfine in fulmics.
So for the guys who r facing issues with mmc, better change the mmc and check. Dnt buy kingston if you are using custom roms as i came to know lot of users are facing same issue only with kingston. ??

Fulmics has an issue with exFAT but not FAT32. Format the SD card to FAT32. The Kingston SD card is probably exFAT and the Sandisk SD card is probably FAT32, I had to install a custom kernel to get my 64GB SD card to work as FAT32 is limited to 32GB and smaller SD cards.

I use solid kernel but xceed kernel is great as well. All you need to do is download the right version for your phone, in twrp wipe cache and dalvak cache, then flash the kernel and boot into Android, that's it, it's very easy, just make sure you make a backup.

Nope. If it says it's corrupt after a reboot just remove the card and put it back in and it will work ( that's a MM bug on most ROMs and kernels).
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Labs

The same as the SD card issue I had, however some people report fixes for the same issue they've described that haven't worked for me. Eventually messing around I came with a fix and I posted it here in a reply to my own thread on it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-d855-sd-card-corrupt-issue-t3393511
Just offering another solution I know works at least in one case but, no guarantee its the exact same issue

We can also format 64 gb mmc wid fat32 file system. Im using verizon model and it is not supported by xceed kernel and with solid kernel i face wake up lag on fulmics 5.3 rom. So i just just googled how to format mmc with fat32 file system. Now im using my Samsung 64gb card on fulmics 5.3 without any hassle of custom kernel.

The issue there is that FAT32 is not meant for storage devices larger than 32GB. And the so called "hassle" of a custom kernel is a personal opinion, I have been using custom kernels for some time and prefer them to stock kernels. It's not hard to flash a custom kernel anyway.

A friend has problems with a SanDisk Ultra 200GB on Galaxy S 4 Mini with stock ROM.. The micro SD card is not recognized. Is that perhaps a formatting issue? Are your cards formatted as FAT32 or exFAT?

exFAT. Recently I have also used a 256 GB Samsung card without issue (filled more than 50% with data). I have been using CyanogenMod and Lineage ROM for a long time now so I am not sure if Stock ROM could be an issue.

Not possible on any S4 Mini because the maximum allowed size is 64 GB.

That seems to answer one question it is not the hardware that is the limitation but rather the version of Android software running in Galaxy S4 phone. I could not get Samsung to answer this question directly. Samsung official position is 64GB is the maximum.
I am going to test 128GB micro SD in S4 standard ROM (AOS 5.0.1) try and fill it with test data and see what happens. From your comment it looks like it would be best for me to follow your example and install CyanogenMod or Lineage custom ROM to use a 128GB micro SD in the S4 (that will be my next test).
It is hard to know if I am dependant on any Samsung features as some are not obvious if all you have ever used is Samsung Android. I moved to Quickpic app for local photo management but have read Samsung apps are better for picture taking do you know anything about that?
Can you install apps to load from micro SD card using exFat on CyanogenMod or Lineage ROM in Galaxy S4?
Are there any features you "lost" moving to 3rd party ROM on the Galaxy phone that you really missed?

I have used larger than 64 GB micro SD without issues even with stock Android 4.2 on the S4 Mini. My feeling is that the 64 GB limit is somehow arbitrary and originates from the time where nothing bigger than 64 GB was available. The theoretical limit should be 2 TB.
I have been using Samsung Apps as well as Quickpic and both are alright, maybe depending on personal priorities. Quickpic though is only for organizing pictures, not shooting them AFAIK.

Yes, but the amount of internal memory you are saving is only very small as a lot of data will still be saved in internal. You could use the SD card als adopted storage though, meaning you will have huge internal memory then. The downsides are that the memory becomes much slower than before and you cannot take out the SD card anymore.

No.

For testing I tried to insert a 128GB uSD and my S4 mini VE (GT-i9195i) sees it perfectly. Both by checking the memory setting menu inside the phone and on the PC by connecting it to USB.
microSD - Samsung EVO (Yellow) 128GB [100MB read - 100MB write].
GT-i9195i VE - Android Kit Kat 4.4.4, TWRP 3.3.1-0, SuperSU Pro V2.82

With Lineage 18.1 or later I can confirm 512GB microSD works without problems.
