Possible to copy large files to the external SD card? (exFAT)

I and many with me cant copy files over 4gb directly to our SD cards. There should not be any problem with the file size since the cards are formatted in exFAT but files over 4gb cant be copied.
If you copy a large file first to the internal memory and then over to the SD card it works, but not directly to it.
I get this error message:

}
How come? It is really irritating.
I am using a 64GB SanDisk Class 10 card but I think that it has something to do with the note 2 settings somehow because I dont think that the same problem occurs with the S3.
I have tried with the standard explorer in windos(simply crashes), Airdroid, ES File Explorer and Kies.
This issue has been discussed a bit here as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889203&page=5
Any ideas or work around except copying first to the internal which is getting overfilled already.

Hi.
I can confirm it is possible, but you need a rooted Note 2. I just copied a 5.26 Gbyte video to my Note 2 64 GByte card ...
It's not stable though: just after copying, the Note 2 became veeeeeeery slow and needed a reboot. I'm sure that'll work out better in the future.
You need:
- On the phone: SGS3 Easy UMS (see here)
- On the PC: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe (see here)
SGS3 Easy UMS needs BusyBox and asks for its installation. I used the "Install" method during the BusyBox installation instead of "Smart Install". I don't know if it matters, but it worked at least.
Because of the slowness issue, I instructed SGS Easy UMS to use MTP again as default. It's easy enough to swith to UMS mode if necessary.
YMMV : hope it helps

Actually I've run into this issue on the Note 10.1 with the same scenario.
I just put the files on the Micro SD card directly, then insert the card into the tablet.

Maybe not, bought it three years ago.
I will try on another computer as well and then maybe buy another sd card reader, any tips on which one to buy?

This is the one i've been using for years... Its a whole $0.47 cents!!! lmao!!!!

Any update about this issue?

ikonane,
I currently own a Note AND a Note II (see my signature) and the process was the same, you format your MicroSD XC in NTFS and not exFAT which is not properly recognised by Notes. This is the most tricky part as I had to buy a specific microsd reader from Sony that was supporting XD format otherwise I was only allowed to use the first 32GB.
Once done, you install (you need to be root) on your Note II NTFSSD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oyaxai.ntfssd) and voila, you can copy files above the 4GB limit either by using your microsd adapter or using the usb link.
One additional piece of information, I prefer use the microsd adapter because speed transfer is faster (7 MB/s) than with the USB link (around 2MB/s) and with the Note II you can eject your sdcard without turning your mobile off which was not possible with the first occurrence of the Galaxy Note.
Hope it helps.

Hahaha, someone who thinks they know what they're talking about.
This wouldn't be a problem if FAT32 could handle files over 4gb, but you knew that right? Oh yeah I'm sure you did.

Thanks for your response.
I did
1. clean uninstall of the drivers
2. restart
3. latest driver install (from kies folder)
4. restart
5. connected the device & waited until the device installed successfully.
6. Upgraded the sync software (musicbee) to 2.2 beta
Now sync works like a charm again.

Hi,
Apparently - this happens again.
Any idea how to improve MTP device response?

Eventually, I found this to be a microSDXC card issue (Sandisk Ultra 64GB).
I can't copy new files to the card, nor delete old files, nor format the card (even low level formatting doesn't work).
Card is under international lifetime warranty. Opened a service request with Sandisk for the moment.

mp3 files not showing in music app

Hi,
I have several gigs of music files (mp3) stored in Sd card.
Although I've tried to move them into several different folders I cannot get music apps (google music or samsung music) to list all the music.
I'd like to know if anyone has experienced the same problem and if there is a way to solve it.
Thanks in advance

Mine shows from the micro SD card without problems. You have to give permissions to the music app
Go to settings
Application manager and tap on the music app and permissions and turn it on
make sure storage is selected

I had this problem with improperly tagged MP3s. The app is looking for unique title metadata within each file. If that particular bit of information is the same or blank for each file, it wont recognize and display them in the app. I use a program called mp3tag (to get it, just google "mp3tag download") to edit the metadata in my MP3s. Download that and open the folder(s) with your MP3s. Check the title column. If those values arent unique, Highlight all (Ctrl+A), go up to the Convert menu, and select "Filename - Tag". That'll automatically copy the filename into the title column and create unique data for each file. Save your changes and try to re-upload to your device and open in the App.

Try reducing the file name of the mp3 file(Make it less than 50 characters ).It worked for my samsung music player.

A7 does not recognize a USB-C Stick

Hi,
I'm using atm. Candy Rom with Llama Sweet with the Universal Bootloader from LOS Thread.
Just bought me a USB-C Flash Drive (SDCZ450-064G) and does not recognize it on TWRP or under Candy, already tried the Flash Drive on the PC and formatted it to Ext3 (it was FAT32 before), but it also not works in the Phone.
is this maybe a Kernel or Rom related problem? or do otg only work with stock?
someone has an idea or tips for me? already tried USB-OTG Helper from XDA.

Tried hellsgate or some other kernel? I'm saying Hellsgate since it has EAS, if you are using that feature.

Are your phone's problem get fixed? USB-C Flash Drive, you mean SD card, right? I have experienced same problem, if you put your question clear, I may help you.

nope, the Problem is still there. Its a USB-c Flashdrive not a SDCard (added a Pictue of it) SD works well.
The Problem is, the RED Status LED of the Flashdrive goes on but the Phone does not Show the Drive in the System, so i can not access it, the same Problem is in TWRP (newest Version, 3.1.1).
I think this is something with the A7. already found other Topics in Different Boards with the same Problem without resultion.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I still don't get your means. Are you saying your USB flash disk cannot be detected by your phone, is that your meaning?
But, as far as I know, phone cannot detect USB flash disk, only PC can. So, phone can detect SD card. I guess you mean that you put your SD card into your card reader then your phone cannot detect your SD card when you put your SD card into your phone, am I right?

USB OTG is a thing. Phones can read normal, PC pendrives with a simple adapter

Hey. In the beginning I had the same problem. The sotution was to change the OTG adapter. The axon wants not every ordinary thing
THIS IS THE OF YOUR CHOICE:

problem is still there, the phone still not recognize the USB-C Flashdrive / Stick / thumb drive, tried different rom's and kernel ..
(there is no need for a USB-C to USB-A Adapter, the Flash drive / Stick / Thumb Drive is already USB-C)

Yea, but it's easier to understand for someone who doesn't know the basic idea of OTG
I'll try something and let you know

Thanks for your reply. Have you try another different USB-C? I think the problem may caused by USB-C.

Yep tried it on my PC, formated the Flash Drive / Thumb Drive / USB Stick in Different Formats without any Problem.

I suspect the problem is a matter of power. Your USB-C flash stick is expecting higher voltage typical in most USB-c devices. Your phone is giving the stick USB-A levels of power, just enough power to read the stick's ID, but not enough to power flash chip.
It might work via a powered hub or you'll need to find an alternative stick that.has a lower power usage.

Then I ask myself the question, why does it work with an OTG adapter and a USB-C to USB-A (Male) adapter?
If this drive needs more power than normal it should not work in this Situation.

Trying to flash Elemental/SU, can't find stupid .zip files in TWRP....

Hey all - just updated to the latest software, now rerooting; I've got the latest version of TWRP working and both the Elemental and SU .zips put in the root directly of the SD card that's showing on my PC when I USB connect under "file transfer." But, I can't seem to see *any* of the same files either in File Explorer or my PC or in TWRP on the phone. I did click to mount "System" in TWRP, but it doesn't seem to make any difference and it doesn't stay when I reboot.
I'm in a bit of a holding pattern until this gets sorted out; in one thread, someone recommended reformatting internal storage - seems a bit of a nuclear option, but if it's the way to get this working, I'm for it!
Would very much appreciate any advice!

Wiping internal storage will be always better choice!
Just transfer all your data(photos,videos, and anything you need) to external/OTG/PC before wiping.
For now you can try by, boot into TWRP > advance > file manager,
Go to those files and see if those files are visible in TWRP?
Or try to put same files to external memory card or OTG and see if those files are visible there? then flash them by selecting appropriate storage.

Well heck - no luck with advance/file manager, so I wiped internal storage - still nothing. It's like two completely different storages. I do have an SD card put in as internal storage - would that somehow be complicating things?
Many thanks!

Have you tried selecting different storage?
That option is there when you go in install, there will be button to select storage.
Remove external SD and then put files to internal storage, and check. Also put files in different folder too and see if that folder is visible.

Yeah, unfortunately it only gives me three options for storage, and won't let me click on either of the last two, which read at 0 MB. So I should physically remove the SD card from my phone and then see what it gives me for available storage?
Really appreciate you patience here - thank you VERY much!

If you haven't inserted any of those, then only it will show 0. It's strange if it doesn't showing those files in file manager too.
Can you try moving other files, like photo, video or anything and see if those are visible. Did you try by creating any folder and put files in that or other folder?

Okay - under "Select Storage," here are my options:
Internal Storage (6133MB)
MicroSD (0MB)
USB OTG (0MB)
It won't let me select either MicroSD or USB OTG.
I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that after loading the newest OS update, I formatted the SD card as internal storage?
What I do get are:
boot
cache
data
dev
etc
firmware
license
oem
persist
proc
recovery
res
root
sbin
sdcard (only has one folder inside, called TWRP)
sdcard1 (nothing inside)
sideload
supersu
sys
