exFAT supports files over 4GB and is supported by S4.

i forgot to mentioned, i formatted it exfat but phone says "damaged sd card" and provided the option to format it, as you guessed it was formatted back to fat32.

Then format it using phone. It will automatically format as per system.

64GB MicroSD Card - The how-to guide!

As you all hopefully know, the Note Can take up to 64GB MicroSDXC cards. But, what you may not know is the trouble that with comes with getting one to work. Its actually relatively simple When you know how to do it. l spent hours tonight trying to do it.
Originally the sd will probably be in the NTFS format created by Microsoft, which is understandable since its the biggest OS on computers.
Upon entering your SD onto the device, you should see that it wants you to format it. This is due to android not supporting NTFS. The only structure it supports is FAT32.
But, here's where your options come in! You have the choice of either making your device NTFS compatible (Note that this requires root), or reform making the storage device to FAT32. As my device is not yet rooted to test the NTFS support, l will only go over the reformatting process. Unfortunately, since I'm a new member I can't post links. Therefore, you'll need to trust google to guide you to what you want. But if you want to use the tool I used just Google "Kioskea HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool"
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damage that you Cause to your device, computer or SD card while carrying out this method. It is your own decision to do this. This method should cause no harm to any system health, but, as with anything on a computer, errors can occur. Also, take note that the more you format something, the shorter its life will be.
Insert your SD card into the computer to format it. To format to FAT32, you will need to download a third party partition program, as windows withdrew the ability to format to FAT32 in an attempt to push more people on to NTFS. Only storage mediums with FAT32 as their default can format to it.
Once you've downloaded and installed the software, load it up and select your sd card and FAT32, as well as quick format then start. You should then insert it into your PHONE as the tablet doesn't seem to do this next step correctly. When inserted into your phone, it should say that the sd needs formatted. Do this then eject it and transfer it to your tablet and say yes to the dialogue that appears. And that's it in a nutshell! This can be applied for every android device possible.
Users report the newer note 10.1 updates will format 64gb cards into exFat which will allow for files bigger the 4gb (like HD movies).
Yes, i can confirm that if you update to the pulled ota update firmware, your tablet can format the 64gb sdxc to exFat and be read.

Sandisk 64Gb microSDXC cards comes preformatted with exFAT and not NTFS.

I am using sandisk 64G sdxc card in my N8000 (Hong Kong version N8000ZSALI1 firmware) which natively supports exFAT format. It is fine so far. But I do not dare to copy large file from USB cable via Kies. I take out the card and put into SDXC card reader for large files copying.
Hi, I have some questions:
- What different between "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" and the Windows built-in format tool?
- Why your GNote 10.1 cannot format the SD card?

@Tubgirl my one came formatted with NTFS, rather than exFAT. So, I had assumed the rest were like this. It's strange that mine exFAT. :s

@Itchiee I'd seen reports of updates being able to support 64GB cards but that's all I was able to find. I only just got my Note 10.1 and it says on both the internal update and update via Kies that my tablet is up to date. Although, I am from the UK that may be why. I assumed my tablet was rolled out with the latest update. I tried exFAT on my tablet and it refused to work and was throwing the same error's at me.

@vndnguyen I recommended the "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" as compared to the standard Windows one as Microsoft pulled formatting support for anything except exFAT and NTFS. The only time Microsoft will let you format to FAT32 is if it was the native of that device, such as a flash drive. So, the difference between the two programs, is that the "HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool" can format to FAT32, as where Windows cannot.
I have just ordered a 64 gb sandisk android sdxc card, if i am not to bothered about transfering large files, is there much difference between using exfat and fat32?

This is because the native format of 32GB MicroSD cards and below were FAT32. Like I said, if the device is native FAT32, then Windows will allow a format of that.

Sorry for not replying in my last post. I never seen your comment. There's some slight differences between FAT32 and exFAT. The main difference a common user should know is that FAT32 can only hold, and transfer a maximum of 4GB, as where exFAT does not have a size limit. That's why it's the "preferred" method. But, FAT32 is more popular as it's been around longer and is supported by more platforms than exFAT. If you want to know more about the differences, try a google search. Unfortunately I can't post links just yet to help you out with that. But, I'd recommend trying the exFAT wiki page. The stuff you'll find can get fairly technical. Just a heads up.
thanks for your reply, the sandisk card i am getting says its been made for android devices, will that means its probably already in the exfat format when i get it?
Would you know if the below card which i have ordered would probably work straight out the box?

This is the one I got and I had to format on my Defy first. Then my tablet excepted it, for now I can only put movies, photos on. Any apps you want on doesn't work as of yet which was a big let down for me.
This appears to be the same one that I ordered. Mine came as NTFS but it may have just been a hiccup for mine as everyone else is apparently exFAT. One thing I also noticed is that the page says it is both class six and class 10. Just to clarify - It is class 10.

This is because Samsung claim that their Note 10.1 can support exFAT. In reality, the support for it doesn't work at the moment. What you will need to do is reformat it to FAT32, and it should work. If it still doesn't work after this, put the SD into your mobile phone then use the reformat option on the phone. The reformatting does not work on the Note 10.1, so you can't reformat it on that.
Let me know how it goes.

[Q] 64gb SDXC card, how should it be formatted?

Ok, so I've just bought a Samsung class 10 SDXC UHS-1 card. I'm about to put it in the phone and then I read all about people having problems reading files, and wanting to download something to allow it to be formatted to fat32, etc. Could anyone please throw any light on this, as to how it it best formatted, and to what fat type, and possibly help me to understand why these people are having issues?
Personally I would have said let the phone format it, seeing as it's going to be using it?
1. Put it in the phone.
2. Press "Erase everything on SD-card".
3. ????
4. PROFIT!
No need to worry about formatting, the stock kernel only supports FAT32, and I believe EXT3 & 4, but you don't need to worry about those.
Some people have problems because they buy the cheapest 64GB microSD card available, and you know that cheap card = cheap NAND, which causes corruption of files and random unmounts.
You mean exFAT? That's what the phone formats it as, and the PC does too.
I am using exFAT because I put 4GB+ files there. FAT32 can't support that.

I did not know it had ExFAT, but I just put the card into the phone and pressed "Erase everything on SD card".
Well, I've put shed loads on it and no problems so far, and in my card reader I get up to 16MB/s write, so it's all good. I guess problems are just down to the people who buy cheap knock-offs?
I didn't even do a format on my SanDisk 32gb class10.
I just popped it in and it works.
Think I might format to exfat though so I can store larger files.

I got an S4 yesterday (USD 665 here in Muscat for the unlocked 16GB model) and put in the 64GB card I used before on Note II. It's formatted as exFAT.
On first power on, the phone complained that memory card was damaged and needed reformatting. Bummer! The S4 doesn't support exFAT???
I ignored the error and continued setting up the phone. After a few minutes I checked Settings->Storage and was given the option to mount the memory card. I tried and it mounted without any problems! Phew!
FAT32 is the way to go. Later, if you install a custom ROM exFAT won't be supported.

Not if you have files larger than 4GB, like full HD movies. FAT32 doesn't support files of that size.

I can confirm that my rooted i9505 (jfltexx from Vodafone Ireland) does support exFAT directly. I have a Samsung 64GB card which came preformatted with exFAT and it worked. I later formatted it directly in the phone and it was exFAT again. No problems whatsoever.
If you want to install a new kernel, however, you might get into trouble. faux123 wrote the following in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273437 for the new faux kernel:
"NOTE: This kernel DOES NOT SUPPORT exFAT formatted 64 GB SDCards! In order to use 64 GB SDCards, you need to format it to NTFS, then use NTFSMount from Play Store to access your 64GB SDCard.
(This is due to LACK OF SOURCE CODE from Samsung/Microsoft for exFAT. Samsung licensed Microsoft's CLOSED SOURCE exFAT implementation. But Samsung under agreement with Microsoft DOES NOT release the source code and therefore we CANNOT build any support for exFAT formatted 64 GB SDCards)"

SD card support

As the 'instructions' and the online help are no real use, i am throwing this out there....
It states that she Shield supports up to 256gb mSD cards, I have a 64gb Samsung XC card, the shield seems to know it is there as the 'Mount SD Card' option is not greyed out, but it wont mount or format the card
I have formatted the card NTFS as suggested in the online manual
The card works fine in a Galaxy S4
My 32gb card works fine, but is too small.
Any ideas?

I have never gotten the shield to format a sdcard. You will need to download a third party tool to format it fat32, as windows won't let for format any partition over 32gb fat 32.
Depending on the format options fat32 can support up to 1 or 2 terabytes

I argee, and I have had trouble getting my 16gb sdcard to work in it, but my 8gb works fine.
16gb is a sandisk sdhc class 4
The odd thing is, the shield does something to the card, if i put it back into the Galaxy S4 after removing it from the shield, the S4 says its damaged and needs to be reformatted. It then reformats it and mounts it ok.
Really need more than 32gb in the shield....
I got my 16gb microsd working. I noticed that my 8gb has a gpt partition structure and the 16gb had a mbr structure, after converting the mbr to gpt on the 16gb it works.
I popped in my 16GB MicroSD that I use for my SuperCard DSTWO and it read it without issue. I copied some ROMs from it and to it, worked perfectly.
I have now converted my 8b working sdcard from gpt to mbr and it stopped working so i will change it back to gpt.
Posted in other threads about this stuff. What ive experienced.
SanDisk 64gb Ultra*microSDXC™ UHS-I fails to mount in any format other than NTFS. Trying to mount otherwise results in loss of data and formating. Under NTFS format that file path is something ridiculous than can't be seen by some apps rendering the card basically useless. The card works fine in all other devices in several types of formating.
I have a 16gb of same brand and speed rating that mounts fine under FAT32.

NTFS is also a journaling filesystem and has a few more inbuilt security features (which I see as pointless for the filesystem itself). Journaling won't actually do any good for the longevity of the SD card, its extra read/write cycles which are already limited enough on an SD card.

[Q] Doesn't read Ext4 neither NTFS for the sdcard, wtf?

Ok, android is supposed to be just fine with Ext and NTFS right?
Well i've got S4, kitkat 4.4.2 and 64GB original super fast microsd card and guess what, i formatted it first Ext4 then NTFS because i needed more than 4GB files and for both it says "SD card is blank or has unsupported filesystem."
both times formatted under linux desktop PC
the default formatting from the phone seems to be either FAT or exfat but files over 4GB can't be written. (exfat is supposed to do over 4gb right?)
So, what i'm doing wrong?

Official Galaxy S4 doesnt support NTFS (not sure about Ext4). but there are some custom kernels that can deal with NTFS.
I found this on wikipedia:
exFat advantages: File size limit of 16 EiB–1 byte (limited by volume size), raised from 4 GiB−1 byte in a standard FAT32 filesystem.
so I guess yes it can handle files more than 4GBs, I haven't tried it myself.
Use the official SD formatter tool, it formats cards with 64 GB and larger using the exfat system.
just google: official SD formatter

well it's not, thanks for getting the thread in the wrong direction though!
so does the default bult-in android formatting do FAT or exFAT? It doesn't seem to be possible to tell from the phone?
So, seems like the only way forward is to format it in exFAT?

I am pretty sure it will only format in the style it was originally eg. Original setup of fat32 it will format fat32, if EXfat it will format EXfat.
Ext,1, 2, 3, 4 are all native to android (Linux) so ext4 shouldn't be an issue.
When I formatted my 64Gb card sd formatter did not format it to EXfat I had to do it manually. Please not that windows Xp does not directly support EXfat you need to manually install a patch and then manually format the sd card via cmd window
You'll have to confirm the command but it's something like
Format x: /fs:exfat
This is what I had to do on my old Xp box to do the job.

Hi, as you all know Mi A1 supports Micro SD card, but I have question about the file system that it will support. I prefer the phone can use either NTFS or exFAT so that I can put files that is larger than 4GB on the memory card. But seems like the OS can't read both file format, only FAT32. Any idea?
Android OS generally is compatible with exFAT and FAT32.
NTFS is proprietary from Microsoft. So It cannot write to NTFS. (Solutions exist though, not worth the hassles)
More details can be found here.
I insert SanDisk 64GB card, exFAT
FS not recognized
insert the memory card to the phone.. then it'll show do you want to format it, do it..
after it's done, try moving the files you want to the memory card

Try ApoMgr3.
Yes m1a1 will automatically format SD card now use the above to automatically shift your apps to it provided you use a very fast card.
yes, i face same problem. i want copy 6GB size videos to OTG flashdisk, but i didnt support with FAT32, also NTFS and ExFAT didnt support on Android Oreo too. didnt know how to fix.
For ExFAT you need to change the kernel to one that supports that file system.
