Anyone have a suggestion on which file system to use when formatting a 128gb micro SD for use with the Pure/Style? Both the phone and the micro SD were ordered a couple days ago, and the SD got here first. Figured I'd start transferring my files to it, around 100gb of music.
Thanks.
The phone can format it or you can format it. Use exfat.

Right now its FAT, I never formatted it, I just jammed it into the device.
Should I format FAT32? Anyone know?
TIA.
Best to stay FAT if you format to FAT32 your device may not recognize your card. If you ever do format it - do it on the device using storage tools or sktools.
I've used only one of my two 1gb mini-SD's to hold PocketMusic program files and MP3's. I think it was formatted FAT to begin with, but I was unable to copy more than 400mb to the card until I reformatted it to FAT32. It then loaded up with MP3's and there have been no problems. I did the formatting on the PC, not the MDA.
Any card >2gb will require FAT32 formatting, as 2gb is the limit for FAT16.

Well, your should delete all ext2/ext3/ext4 and swap partition in your sd card, there partitions are used in Linux, Windows can't recognize them.
thks antonytyler, when i wanna wipe sd:ext partition stated Error : Run 'wipe ext' via console! i need to wipe by using console or any other way.pls help me.thks.
I'm going to assume you have amon_ra's recovery installed on your g1. Put the old memory card in the phone and reboot to recovery. Go to the partition sdcard menu, then go to the partition sd setting and set both linux swap and ext2 to 0. That will give you back all your missing space.
Also, make sure that the new memory card is class 6 I bought a new Samsung 8GB class 6 with a microsd card reader and a sdcard adapter for $23 shipped to my house from amazon.com. It got to my house last week, and it got here 3 days after i ordered it.
It can do in Windows

I remember that Disk Management in Windows can delete your sd card's ext2/ext3/ext4 partition, you should right click "My computer", select "manage", you will find "disk manage", click the item, you will see the partitions on your sd card, then delete them.
PS: back up your data of your FAT32 partition!
I bought a Sandisk 8gb micro sd card from Costco and loaded it into the phone. I'm assuming the phone automatically formats the card? Is there any way of checking what format the card is on the phone? I don't have a PC. Thanks!
hi guys iv recently purchased a 64gb class 10 sd card for my s4. i have tried using the internal 2 external app to swap the memories around so my phone recognises the sd card as the internal memory but this does not work and i get a warning saying something about it being exfat or something. how can i go about resolving this issue?
* i dont want to make any partitions as i would like everything on just 1 disk/space drive
format the sd to Fat32
still didnt work
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
