i heard someone say to format sd card preferably with 64kb memory allocation, than 32kb (maybe default for his card) for android builds....
well, i don't know which size his card had, but for my 2gb sd card 16kb allocation is maximum...

my Qtek s100 can't write or modify nothing on SD card !! Does anybody knows this problem ? Should i format SD in FAT or FAT32 mode ?
FAT(16) is preferred. I have a 512MB card & it's quicker now I changed the format to FAT. There's a thread about 4GB MMC cards & they conclude the same.

4GB...OMG...

I got a new class 6 8GB sd card, and I want to copy over all the stuff from my old 4GB card ... fat32, ext, and linux-swap.
What's the easiest way to do this? (I'm on a Mac, and I have a USB sd card reader.)
Can I avoid having to re-install all the apps in the apps2sd partition?
(I assume I'll have to manually partition the new card.)
Thanks!
I was going to upgrade my rom to the new flexreaper rom and i figured i would partiton my sd card... but when i did it seemed to happen a little bit quickly.. so i checked my sd card and all my data was still there (therefore it did not wipe it) which makes me think it was not partitioned.
Also when i hit partition sd card - i picked 1024 for ext size (i have a 16 gb sd) and 0 swap - then partitioning sd card and done appeared almost at the same time which puzzled me...
can anyone tell me if it is actually partitioned or not or is it even worth it to partition a sd card on a tablet?
Thanks.
i have a 128gb micro sd card what should i format it to and what program to use
The S4 only recognizes the FAT and EXFAT file formats. Simply insert your SD card, go to settings, storage, and then SD Card. From there, you can let Android format your card for you.
If you're worried about speed, file formats don't offer much benefit for Android devices.
I got a SD card that I've formatted in my phone but I just tried to copy a movie (a copy of a Blueray I own) of around 6GB to the card but it fails. I then removed the SD card and inserted it into my Windows 10 computer and tried again after which I'm told the file is too big for the file system on the card. There is plenty of free space on the SD card.
Isn't it possible to have large movie files on the SD card? If it is: What is the trick?
Which file system has the SD been formatted with? See the SD Properties in Windows.

The phone always formats to FAT32 - and if I format to NTFS the phone complains that the SD card is damaged and has to be formatted. It can't even read the NTFS formatted card.
FAT32 is limited to 4GB max file size.
You must format the SD card with exFAT, which also Windows reads/formats perfectly.

Do you know if the S7 Edge can work with exFAT or ?
Yes, of course, I use an exFAT formatted 64 GB SD card in my S7E...
Great - I'll format my card right away then! Thanks
