Not happy...
Today I tried my SanDisk 64gb sdxc card in my note 10.1... I've been using it in my 5.3" galaxy note for months. It mounted and read just fine in the Note 10.1, so I copied all the data off it, planning to use a 32gb card in my other note.
After I copied the data, I put the card back in the Note 10.1, and it said "blank card or unsupported file system"
To cut a long story short, the card is now corrupted and can't be formatted in either windows or the original Note.
So, if you're using this card in your original Note, DON'T put it in the 10.1!

Format it with FAT 32.
Ditto: format with FAT32, most SDXC cards are formatted ExFAT and that's not compatible with the Note 10.1. Use the tablet or a third party utility to format if you're a Windows user since Win7 wants to format using ExFat rather than FAT32 (Mac OS X can format large cards in FAT32). Drawbacks? FAT32 only supports individual file sizes up to 4 gigs per file.
I've tried formatting it, it's toasted. Windows disk manager says it's 30.6gb, but won't format it because it says it's write protected... Neither of my notes will format it, they both say it's blank, and when I try to format they say it's currently being checked... I even tried SD Formatter from www.sdcard.org, and it says the card is write protected...

this may sound kind of dumb, but if you use an SD card adaptor for your micro SD, did you check the lock slider on your SD hard? i was not able to format my microSD card on my note and was having the same issues with the write protect on my computer but i realized later on that my lock slider kept being pushed into the lock position whenever i slide my card into my reader. so, i unlocked it and carefully slid my card into my reader to make sure it doesn't lock. i formatted my card to fat32 on my computer using EASEUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm). it's easy to use and free. works great

Yes, I've tried it in 2 different card readers. I just tried EASEUS Partition Master and it can't do anything with the card either, the system reports the card as 30.6MB unallocated.

I used the microSD to SD converter which came with my Sandisk and plug it directly into the notebook's SD slot.
I would say try another computer (or notebook).
After the latest update, the Note 10.1 reads and formats exfat SD chips just fine.
Ooooooo! THX just ordered one..

There have been a number of reports of broken 64gb cards that will only format to 30.6gb, check this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/550328-64gb-cards.htmldiscussion.
I think that 30.6gb is what you normally would get from a 32gb card.

I've had same problem with sdxc but after firmware update SD works ok.
i've not had a problem with my sandisk 64gb sdxc card
I tosted a mounth ago my first 64GB SDXC the same day because I was not aware of what I should use and do to make it compatible with most devices.
First of all, the card is SDXC with exFAT, for that you HAVE to use an adapter compatible for that card, like Mobilelite 3G.
I put that card in my old card reader and after try to copy into the card a file ISO of 6GB the card crashed.
After that the card was not recognized.
Second mistake, I used not appropriate Software to format the card, from CMD in W7, Gparted Live, to many other.
You HAVE to use specific tools like FAT32Format or MiniTool Partition because this tools are made to do not delete the "Protected Area" which is needed to let working the card.
so,
step 1; Open the Blister Package and put the card into compatible SDXC Card Reader.
step 2; Format with FAT32 Format.
After that the card will work fantastically with ANY device and no complain at all.
Now I got my second 64GB SDXC formatter in Fat32 and my OLD HTC Touch Diamond 2 see the card with full capacity of 60GB!
Amazing! Right?
If its a new card you should have a warranty get it replaced.
I had a similar proble with a 16 gb card on my optimux 2x and from Sandisk itself. When I inserted it recognized and then the card was fried fortunately it was replaced by the seller in couple of days I still have the old card as they did not bother to take it back.
That time i thought it was a fake

Ok, so in this case you can do this way;
step 1; Open the Blister Package and put the card into compatible SDXC Card Reader.
step 2; Use h2testw to test the card if it's fake.
step 3; when you know is good format with the right tool.
They do not bother you to take the card back? Strange? And the second one is good?
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.

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?

@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.

Yeah some require root. I tried some today, as well. They don't work due to the memory config. Seems to be happen to all new releases, as if they're trying to block stuff like that.

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.

when i put the sd in my laptop,the 2 options that let me choose is ntfs and exfat.how can i reformat it to fat32?
Finally!!! Those who use 64GB or bigger cards can use exFAT. I can confirm it works as I'm using it right now. No more 4,5GB file size limit! (tested writing 6,5GB mkv video to the card, worked without any issues) Writing big files to the card is about 10-11MB/s (when I was using fat32 it was 4-5MB/s). It's a shame that it doesn't work in CWM though (can't mount - gives me error). But I think devs will come up with solution for this quickly. At least Phil in his thread about Touch CWM said that he will provide fix when official LS7 will be released. So now you know and you can enjoy!
SMALL UPDATE:
If SGN says that your card is broken and needs formating than you should let it format the card. Mine was formated in Windows with SDFormatter application and still SGN gave me message that I need to format the card. After format in SGN it works as it should.
SMALL UPDATE2:
If you decide to buy a 64GB or bigger card for your SGN it would mean that it almost certainly would be SDXC micro exFAT formatted. In specification there is only said that card readers even if they are compatible with SDHC, might not be compatible with SDXC cards. And that would have been ok, but in my case my old SDHC compatible Imono card reader was destroying my SDXC cards! Who would have suspect it? It happened 3 times and I was able to use my card after I bought a new card reader certified for SDXC and whole operation of exchanging broken cards took almost 2,5 months! So be careful where you put you 60 dollar card into! Old reader might read the card properly but it can damage while writing stuff to it.
It's not really that important if you plan on using your card only with SGN. At least I don't have any issues with it now. But then there wasn't JB for SGN and so I was trying to use NTFS and so I needed a card reader.
waow very nice news thank you
So happy about this wait for the official update to come!
best news i heard today. thanks.
- post from SGN.
Does this mean we can use files larger than 4gb?
Well, it should. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT states that exFAT should be able to support file size of 16 Exibyte

can i formate my internal SD to exfat??

I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it..
I didn't try that, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible, as exFAT doesn't come from Google and it's not open standard (I think Microsoft is selling liceneses for this). Even though Android on diffrent brands of smartphones is modyfied here and there to accomodate the devices and enhance user experience it's still Android and I've never heard that android is supporting exFAT. Even if what I say is wrong (I'm still half noobish so it's possible ) there would be no real benefit from using exFAT on internal sdcard (well apart from "unlimited" file size - like it would matter on 11GB of free space anyway ) as the system was designed for hotswapping/external devices and we have internal sdcard which can't be removed.
What's more I have better writing speeds on my internal card (12MB/s) than on external 64GB exFAT (max 10-11MB/s). I don't really understand what you mean by "I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it." You think that beacuse of exFAT you will have 1GB more space on your internal sdcard?
It said mine was broken,bla,bla,..reformatted, then week later said same thing!

I don't really understand what you're trying to get across here? If you put a 32GB+ exFAT format in your SGN, it will tell you the card is corrupt and ask you to format it (which you should do and which you also mention in your update), which will change it to FAT32 format, so you lose the exFAT format.
Am I missing something here?
Today received sandisk 64 gb sdxc. It was formatted exFat out of the box. I copied all data from old ed to new one. All work fine except clockwork. Clockwork can't mount exFat. Installed rom: Ultimate N7000 xxls7 v4. Kernel: Phil's v3.5

I'm sorry but who needs 4+ gb files on their phone?
Just format your 64gb card using this tool! Regular windows fat32 format is capped at 32gb, but this tool will allow you to format the whole 64gb. This way you can have both 64gb storage and the card recognized by custome recovieries. Works great on my Note2 and S3.
I'm sure this has been asked before.. but if you are running 2.3 or higher.. what is the maximum SD card the phone can take?
I believe a 64 GB card has been reported to work. As my largest is a 16 GB SD card, I can't confirm for sure.

i have a 32 gb card. the issue is that I think Fat32 can only support up to 32 GB.
can you have an ext2 formatted SD card working in the Dinc?
I just tried putting in an 8gb SD that I had reformatted to ext2, the phone doesn't want to mount it. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this or not. I've been able to use the Easeus Partition Master to reformat a 500gb hard drive in fat32, so that will probably be able to format a 64gb card in a fat32 partition so it can work in a phone. Won't know for sure until someone with a 64gb card can try it though.

It appears your ext2 question is answered below but as for the size limit of FAT32, it's much larger than 32 GB. The largest a file on FAT32 can grow is 4 GB though.
It looks like FAT32 can run 2TB drives so there's no problem there.

That's wrong. Just trying to clarify. I am running a 64g card in my tab 2 10.1" I have it formatted as fat32. It is a Sandisk. I would say to move everything over to your computer and reformat it. Then use the test disk program and make sure it passes. I don't have any lag with songs or data. I use Foldermount with several large data files programs and they run fine.

It's actually half wrong. Because originally our device was released running ICS, which only supports up to 32GB external storage, this is what the spec states. HOWEVER, now it has a Jellybean update it can run 64GB external storage (since Jellybean can support up to 64GB cards).
So to clear this up, if you're still on ICS, you can only have up to 32GB cards. I suggest updating to Jellybean if you want to run 64GB cards. If you are running Jellybean already you need to format the SDXC 64GB card on your PC using the Fat32 format before using on your device.
It's also worth noting that if you are storing files over 4GB or around 4GB on the card it WILL run very, very slow.
Ics also supports 64gb
Worked on Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and Asus tf300
You need to format it in the actual device and as said above file size limit of 4gb and fat 32

Wrong again, well half wrong, 64GB do indeed work on ICS just they have to be formatted to fat32, JB adds support for the native format of 64GB cards.
as for the OP's issue, I use Poweramp and when I first got this tablet I had the occasional skip so what I did was go into its setting and increase the Audio Buffer size.
Screenshot and happened :thumbup:

and what about a Samsung Galaxy gio wich runs Android 2.3.6? 64gb works on that phone to
If you actually all read what I wrote properly, I said ICS doesn't SUPPORT 64GB cards. NATIVELY. Yes, they may work. But OFFICIALLY, ICS does not support 64GB cards. Anybody who thinks otherwise needs to do their own research. :silly:

That's wrong as well.
64 Gb cards are normally formatted using the Microsoft proprietary exFAT file system. Microsoft somehow managed to arm-twist media manufacturers into using exFAT, which only some versions of Linux support.
If you format your 64 Gb or larger card using the free, unencumbered FAT32 file system, it'll work just fine with Android.
exFAT does have some real advantages, as the overhead (wasted space used by filesystem bookeeping) is lower. And exFAT allows very large files (more than 4 Gb.)
So,there's nothing special about 64 Gb cards other than the default filesystem. Reformat using FAT32 and you'll be fine.

Right but what I said was Android ICS only supports 32GB. If you disagree would you kindly find some official documentation stating otherwise? Thanks dear.

Because ICS doesn't support exFAT. Can you kindly find some official documentation stating otherwise? Thanks.
In other words, you're right. And I'm right. You're telling people that they're officially unsupported (which is quite correct), and I'm telling them how to use them,
If we only discussed what was officially supported, xda-developers would be a pretty empty site.

You are right. :highfive:

There are now 260 songs and have back lag issues.
Also with video.
Also the whole system blocks for a few seconds.
What i also have is a system freeze for a few minutes.
I used another sdcard of 2gb, have same result
Do you have a lot of apps installed on the internal memory?

Tried running an app like SD Booster?
Set to 2048 or try the others. Might help.
Is your card a class 10? I have 2048 songs plus a bunch of big programs data using Foldermount on my sdhc micro class 10 sandisk and NO lag. I'm running PacMan of Nick's. Very smooth no lag. I do hope my Sandisk holds uphttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm using a 64GB MicroSD card inside my tablet as the internal memory and so far I don't notice any lag,even with only 23GB left on it. Maybe re-format the card?
