I don't see why not, but don't take my word for it.

I think with 32GB there are a few problems, not with the stock rom though (as far as I know).

Well il try it and see. How do I copy ALL data of my sd to put on my new one as it only shows my pictures and such, no app or games. Thanks

Using A 32GB Class 4, works fine.
Have a 2GB EXT4 on it which also works fine.

The way I did it was;
Make a nadroid backup on the old card
Backup old card to PC
Partition the new card
Copy everything to the new card
Then restore nadroid backup
Should look like nothing has changed, apart from having more space

i'm using a 32gb class 10 lexar and it's working a treat for me. sorted it out with gparted ready for my rom.
no problems here.

Right I have no idea what's happening but I have formated the new sd and partioned it. When I copy all my files from my mid SD only some will copy. I mean it shows then all but then if I put it in my phone there not there and when I plug it back into the pc there not there. Very strange. And its important ones like the backups and ROMs. What can be up?

Sounds like a fake china one from eBay...
They trick a smaller card (2GB for example) to look like a 32GB

There is a tool you can run something like h2testw that you can run on the whole card to see if there's any errors. I ran it on one I bought which was duff

Worked fine with 32GB ADATA class4 on stock pre-rooted Froyo.
I tried on GingerVilain, it's work, but it is slower of Froyo.

Right cheers for all the replys will do some more testing without it partitioned and such to see if it is defo fake.

Right I gave bought a new card which admittedly is a cheap one again although it says on there website that it is tested on h2testw and is fully functional. But I have had the same problems as before so decided to run h2testw on the card and it says the card is likely to be deffective. Is there anything else apart from it being a dodgy card again. I can't belitd sellers can say they are ok when there not.

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

[HELP]Dead SD card!¡

So long story short: my 32gb sandisk micro sd ended up getting split in two partitions so I have two seperate 14gb partitions, one is fat32 and the other is ntfs I believe..
I have used every tool / program / fix that I can find and am now at the point of giving up on this SD card..
Can anyone suggest ANYTHING at all, so far nothing has worked for me..
Oh and its dead in the sense that neither my GT 10.1 nor my s3 will read the sd card.

If you have access to a PC, I recommend MiniTool Partition Wizard. If you're trying to get information off the card, I recommend MiniTool Power Data Recovery.
Also, you may be able to get the card replaced for free under warranty. Many SD cards have, like, 5 year or lifetime warranty.

I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but it wouldn't allow me to recover both partitions im assuming because one is fat32 and the other is ntfs. Ill try the other tool tomorrow. Thanks for the reply and suggestion!

Hey try this fix, it's worked for me in the past for a corrupted SD card but I never partitioned mine. Good luck!

I bought my Sandisk 32gb card less than a year ago and it pooped out. Ended up throwing it out because I couldn't reformat it. Thought the cause might be my phone heating up.

[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.

Okay, then why do I show 36.9g available?? And it won't reformat at all..I tried several times..My Laptop says I don't have permissions to format it on there and I cannot remember how to change that..Can't even do a chkdsk on it with the permissions screwed up....

Galaxy S3 and SD Cards

Hello Guys.
I've seen this problem on a few forums but no one really has the solution that might work for my phone. Whenever I add videos or movies to my external SD card, in a few hours or days my SD card starts acting weird. Some of the pictures get deleted or destroyed and sometimes I cant access my SD card with CWM. When I play the videos I can't fast forward (doesn't let me) and sometimes the movie plays for 2 minutes and then just starts from the beginning again. I tried formatting it several times in fat 32 and exfat and it gives the same problem. I tried using different SD cards from sandisk and still causes problems. I am currently using the 64gb san disk SD card. My phone is SGH-T999. Also, for those who are wondering, I did try different roms.
Any solutions?

Have you tried using 32gb card or less?
The 64gb cards shouldn't be full compatible

64gb cards are fully compatible. If not, they wouldn't work. To the op. Contact SanDisk. I had a couple of 32gbp SanDisk cards do this to me. They sent me new ones for free even though they were 1 and a half years old. Now it works fine. I am using a 64gbp card now with no issues.

Yeah, I think the best solution at this point will be contacting them and asking them for a new one. But to be completely honest, I used a generic one and it gave me the same problems. Then, I thought I should stop using cheap crap and bought a SanDisk and still same problems. I guess the problem is in the device?
