When I moved my 128gb card from my Note3 instead of extSdCard it for some weird reason named it 18fa-adfa. It's there a way to rename it. I have Busy box installed, I just need to know the steps to do it. I tried using ES Explorer but got a task failure.
Worst case please tell me how to do a symbolic link.
Thanks.

Use an sd adapter to put it in a pc and rename it there. Or connect phone to a pc in and try to change it in the windows file manager.
That did not work The drive label is not used as the root folder name. Any body else?

Did you try putting the microsd card in an sdcard adapter and inserting into a card reader on the pc? This will show as a drive letter and should allow you to rename or format the microsd card.

That's what I did. Like I said it does not use the label as the folder name.

No way to rename the microSD, it's a new Android 6 feature: it refers to the microSD using some unique ID, not by the label.
But generally there are other ways to access the SD content, for ex. using /mnt/external_sd or similar
Nope, S7E's marshmallow doesn't have those other symlink names unfortunately... Even updating sdcards on the same phone is painful. I have to redo all of my foldersync folder pairs

Ah I guess it's just S7E's marshmallow. From my post on foldersync's community, seemed like lots of people hated MM's folder structure.
Definitely nothing under /mnt except emulated and the UUID, which really sucks. Perhaps we can all complain?

After having received and configured my new S7E I unfortunately must confirm what you said... in the Samsung's MM there are no friendly names referring to the microSD under /mnt nor under /storage, like in other MM smartphones...
There must be a way to symlnk a name? We need a small app for that. I'm sure rooting is required.
That is the 2nd thing Sammy messed up on, the 2nd is they are defaulting to Always on multi app pop up choosers. It is horrible.

I just put the card in a SD card adaptor and renamed it on Windows.
Works fine on my S7 G935F with encripted SD card.
any update on this? I received my S7E and I hate this MM naming....
Bump.
Same problem here. Some file managers see it as Media Card, some as SDcard, but the majority see it as "random combinations of numbers and letters" that is identifiable to the card otherwise. More annoyingly, some file managers see it as both and treat it as 2 different SD cards each requiring their own permission. Galaxy S7 Verizon using SanDisk 64GB, Samsung 64GB and Samsung 128GB. Same results.

I thought that quote was hilarious! :laugh: I guess everyone in this thread is too young to have ever used DOS or maybe even the Windows command prompt. This "unique ID" has been around for years. It's simply the Volume ID stored in the boot sector. It can be changed easily on NTFS and FAT32 boot records using a disk editor, Sysinternal's VolumeID utility or with the HardDiskSerialNumberChanger program. The problem with exFAT is that there is a checksum stored and if the boot sector is changed, Windows and Android will think the SD card is corrupt. Use Rufus to format it to FAT32 and you'll be able to change the Volume ID to whatever you want.

I'm actually using exFAT, for me there are no chances on Android for the slow proprietary NTFS or the obsolete FAT32...
If I understand well, are you really going to use FAT32 on a 128 GB microSD used to store 4K recordings and videos?

I was just saying that if you want to change the Volume ID, you're going to have to format the card in FAT32. I don't know if any Android phones support NTFS. When I had MBR hard drives, I used to change the Volume ID's on them so that's why I said it can be done on NTFS.
On my Sony Xperia M4 I'm currently using exFAT, but my LG phones only support FAT32, so I did use Rufus to format the 64 GB SDXC cards to FAT32 for them. I don't need to store anything over 4 GB and FAT32 is much more compatible if I have to use the card in other devices, like my pre-Cinavia Blu-ray player. My phone isn't capable of 4K recording and most apps probably don't write files larger than 4 GB since there are still a lot of phones in use that don't support exFAT at all.
In my opinion, it's good that Android 6 supports the Volume ID, especially if you switch out SD cards, because then an app won't accidentally overwrite data on the wrong card.
I've been using exFAT formatted microSD on all my phones since Lollipop cause AFAIK exFAT access should be faster then FAT32.
Even my latest microSD (Lexar microSDXC, 128 GB, 1800x, UHS-II) comes from factory already formatted in exFAT.
Moreover, exFAT is natively compatible with Windows at least since version 8, no special drivers or utilities needed, even exFAT formatting new media is possible within those Windows versions.
So, whenever possible, IMHO is wiser to use exFAT on latest Android versions.
hello all
in fact I don't know what happened to my fat 32 sd card
its formatted itself
and its name changed to another symbols
and when i try to recover it couldn't find any data

I have 16Gb card from day one with Leo, and installed over 80 apps on it, and many my docs settings and so on.
What would be the safest way to trasfer everything as it is to new 32gB card.
use somenthing like norton ghost? i thing just copy and paste wont work, and i would like to avoid that.
Thanx for any helpful advice.
Personally, I would use copy & paste. Either connect your device as a USB drive, or use a card reader. Copy everything from the root of the card to a folder on your PC, then swap the cards and copy everything back. It should just work - nice and simple.

i got an error in few seconds...
some file reported an error, and copy process stopped...
it would be easy, i know, but i just does not work...there are (i guess) some 10000 files on that card, and chances are some are garbled.
so i would avoid filesystem alltogether and try to clone, and if that does not work, then c/p folder by folder if it does not go other way.
I connected my HD2 as a drive, copied the entire 16GB card to a folder on my PC, formatted the new card, copied everything back, absolutely perfect.
Yep, disk drive mode, or just put the card in a USB card reader. I just did that for 8-> 16GB swap. There's no "better" solution.

No, the errors are probably due to the fact that your HD2 was running apps that are located on the SD and are 'locked' that way. So they will not be copied...
Just take the SD-card out, put it in a card reader of some sort and just copy & paste everything to a hard disk, and copy it to your new SD card. Should work 100%.

Did you enable "show hidden files" in your file manager on your PC? Sounds as if you havent copied all the hidden files.

I've used a card reader and the phone itself via activesync to copy files. Once I fill up to past 2gigs of files, any additional music or video file no longer functions and weird symbols appear in my folders and I guess you call it "corruption"
I've formatted and scanned for errors and still the same thing happens.

Definitely not mate - you must have had a problem with something if you needed to hard reset to swap SD cards. One of the selling points of most up-to-date devices is "hot-swapping". Did you maybe have encryption switched on?

I have an 8gb sd card for my evo and i need to put a 5.2 gig movie on it. Is there any way i can convert the sd card so that i can put files on it that are larger than 4gb? I formated it to NTFS and the evo wouldn't recognize it. PLEASSEEEEE HELLPPPPPPPPP. THANKS!
Not gonna happen. I don't believe Android has any NTFS support at this time and they probably aren't really looking in to it.
It does.
But fat32 is faster.
I'll test it out, but chances are I'm wasting my time.

whenever I formated my card to NTFS and put it in my phone it never would recognize it, and wouldn't let me mount it till I formated it back to fat32.
i know it supports ext file systems but i don't know if those are only mounted as apps2sd or if it can be mounted as the main partition for everything
but if ntfs doesn't work it's worth a shot
edit: ext driver for windows http://www.fs-driver.org/
personally i would suggest one of the following options
option 2 compress the video so it is below the 4gb cap (1 file lower quality)
option 3 split it into 2 parts 4gb +1.2gb parts (would maintain full quality but would have 2 files)
i'm assuming your using windows (because u want ntfs) so i cant help with finding apps for compressing or splitting as i use mac but few min of google search should turn up an answer
you need a custom kernel with ntfs built in, or it wont work
none exist as of now, because its not worth the time

your flash drive probably is ntfs or if mac hfs+
fat32 has a file maximum of 4gb no clue as to why but i do know it is there
good example is the ps3 only supports fat32 so games with files above 4gb are split into smaller sizes and cant be played off of external till parts are rejoined together on internal HDD or compressed to smaller sizes
mrpuffin said:

fat32 probably uses 32-bit addressing which allows up to 4gb to be accessible per file. Just like you can't recognize memory over 4gb on a 32-bit OS.
what about ext4 or 3 it supports lfs. 16gb files or some ****
And there are already ways to create an ext4 or ext3 partition on your sd card, doesn't aman ra do that? or sdpart or something. I dont remember I've never needed apps2sd or anything like that. I have such few apps. But I'm pretty sure that'll be the way to go since it is recognized so easily by linux anways.
I'm sure the OP just said NTFS because it is what he is familiar with, not because he actually wanted to use NTFS for any particular reason.
Afaik, no. Recompress the movie. Or just split it.
I ordered a 64 GB mSD from SanDisk since they work nicely in my SGS III and Note.
I just took them out of he blister, inserted into the devices and worked right on.
Now in my SGN 10.1 I inserted the mSD, it was shortly recognized but immediately notified as "ejected safely". No hint what to do, no options presented (format)
Checked mSD then in my Note and it said: unformatted ext SD.
I formatted the new 64 GB mSD in my Note then placed it back in my Note 10.1 and it works like charm (59 GB available)
Just to inform You in case the same happens to You .......,.,
Cool, I just bought a 64gb card from yesterdays Amazon blowout and will try to format it in my SGSII before using in the Note 10.1!

Is the Note 10.1 reading the card in exFAT and are you able to store individual files over 4GB on the card? I had to re-format my SanDisk 64GB card in FAT to get it to be read by the Note. I'll go format the card in a Note or SGS3 floor model at the AT&T store if it'll get the Note 10.1 to see it as exFAT.

It's a total PITA. If you have another Android device with a MicroSD slot you can try formatting the card in that device first. A lot of people have had luck that way. I tried reformatting a 64GB SanDisk card to FAT using multiple different programs and the Note still wouldn't mount the card or give me the formattng option. Here's the solution, I know it's stupid.
1) Download EaseUS Partition Manager (it's free) - http://www.partition-tool.com/landing/home-download.htm
2) Take a blank FAT MicroSD card and mount it to your PC
3) Have the 64GB mounted at the same time so it too shows up on your PC
4) Using the clone wizard, clone the FAT card to the 64GB card. Make sure to expand the size of the 64GB card before cloning so it doesn't pick up the size of the smaller card.

Junrider's coming from Asus so that's Chinese. Here's a link to the rooting instructions for the OG 10.1. Follow them but rather than using the custom files suggested for rooting purposes, use the download of the Note 10.1 OTA that got pulled. The first link below also has a d/l link for Odin 1.85. It's a harmless process and since it's official s/w you'll have no problem receiving future updates either OTA or via Kies. As far as I know the only issue with the update were some changes in S-Note that not everyone thought were beneficial. I have a N-8000 but think that my version of S-Note is the same as the one people in the U.S. got via the update. I'm fine with it. If there's other issues somebody please chime in.

Yes, pretty much any Android device out there will work with a 64gb microSD if you allow the device to reformat it to FAT32 versus the default exFAT file system. The phone will ask to do this automatically when it finds an incompatible file system on the card, so its pretty easy to do.

In theory reformatting to FAT32 will work up to 2TB. The largest a single file can be is 4GB due to the 32bit limitation of this older file system. This is part of the reason exFAT is being used on newer cards.

The 32GB limit is an artificial limit set by Microsoft and others so that people would choose newer file systems. Its just a coincidence (or perhaps they did it on purpose) that this limit was set at 32GB. The 32 in FAT32 refers to the fact that it can only represent a file with 2^32-1 bytes which turns out to be around 4GB. But as long as you keep individual files below 4GB, there really isn't any disadvantages to FAT32, maybe slower transfer speeds.
exFAT is basically the successor to FAT32. If we ever get exFAT support in Android someday, the card can be formatted back to exFAT easily.
Hello all,
I have been using Galaxy note 3 for the last 3 years or so, have rooted it, installed AOSP and stock ROMs (including the latest Note 7 ports) on it. So I have a fair understanding of how the phone works, and am able to work with errors on a very comfortable basis (sometimes, with help from other XDA members as well).
Now, here's where I am stuck. I was running a Note 7 port ROMs (Phronesis and Magma-NX), and also ran an AOSP ROM. Since last week, my phone has not been able to recognize my SD Card (I have two cards: one, a 32gb card, and the other a 128gb card) on either of the stock or AOSP ROMs. It says: Corrupted. So I begin to format the card (both of them) on the phone itself, and I keep getting this message when I try to format my SD Card via phone:
thread binder_7 gave up waiting for partitionPublic after 180000ms
The SD Cards format properly on my laptop. The end result is my phone doesn't recognize any memory cards, and I basically end up working with the internal storage of 32gb. I havent encountered this error before, and I have no clue about what to do. I have tried googling it, and Google gives me a result for partitionPrivate and not partitionPublic. I dont know if these are the same things or not, and in either case, I absolutely dont know
what to do.
Can anyone suggest/guide as to what should I do?
I had an issue where my phone wouldn't see an SD card unless it was given a name when attached to a PC, might be nothing to do with it but could be worth a try?

Sorry buddy, but didn't quite understand when you said" given it a name". How and what did you do to name your SD Card? I will definitely try anything to make it work
I have same problem and I never fix it. I follow so many guides from Google without luck, seems that my N3 decide to not read external memory any more.

Hey buddy, in that case, what did you do? Did you end up using a lot of cloud based storage on your note 3?

Yes, I use Google Photo app for my pictures and videos, Spotify 4 music, large files like Twrp and Titanium backups stored on external hard drive.

I guess that is probably working good for you; do you have your photos and videos setup to be directly posted on the Cloud then?
Definitely, you have various options how to upload directly, with mobile plans, only with WiFi, only on charge.
Awesome, thanks buddy.. Did you try to have someone look up the SD Card slot to see if it was damaged or if it needed a replacement?

Just to check, have you tried to convert your sd cards into internal storage (adoptable storage) before the problem occurs ?
@zlazaar I'm not sure bro.. All I did was just copied one app from my internal memory to the external SD Card. But I didn't jot try to convert Tele external SD into an internal memory.. Do you think that's what the issue is here?

Can you try this please :
- Format one of your sd cards using your PC (use this recommended tool)
- Make sure you choose FAT32 as file system before format
- Check if you got the correct total size of the formatted sd card
- Shutdown your phone, put your sdcard, boot directly to recovery
if the recovery is able to recognize the sd card with the correct total size, then you don't have a hardware failure.

When you connect it to a PC, when viewing My Computer as it used to be called, you can see all of the drives, C:, D: etc, on that screen if you right click above your SD card drive select rename, it should be under removable drives. A long shot but also an easy one so worth a punt.

I totally agree, sd card volume must have a name.
Thank you

@zlazaar Hey buddy, so I downloaded the SD Formatter, and did a quick format (should I have done full Format - if yes, which one - Erase or overwrite). I also tried the Format Size Adjustment ON and OFF.
I have 2 SD Cards, one 128gb and the other a 32gb. The SD Formatter formatted the 128gb card as an exFAT, and the it formatted the 32gb card as a FAT32. However, TWRP still didn't recognize either of the cards. I still dont have the cards running on the phone..
