In the Xoom, I can transfer one single file that is bigger than 4 gb (actually 4.6 gb). It is a video file.
However, the galaxy tab would not let me do it to the internal storage. I have the T-mobile version.
Does the galaxy tab only allows you to transfer files no bigger than 4 gb, whether it is to the internal storage or the micro sd card?
Is there anyway to allow bigger file storage to the interal storage?
I think you only can use a extern SD, in a NTFS format!
Yes there is. But that involves you changing the filing system on the Galaxy tab using a custom Kernel. From the properiety RFS filing system to EXT4 filing system. The latter has file size limit of 16 TiB so you should be in the clear.
So basically you need to ask yourself if you want to flash a custom kernel or not (head to development section if you do).
As for Videos. Galaxy tab doesn't play nice with videos larger than 2 GB even on External SD card.
Hi there, guys!
I want to be able to save large files on my Micro SD, but I know that FAT32 has a limit of 4GB for the maximum file size. So, can I use NTFS when formatting my new Micro SD? Note 3 will read it normally?
Thanks in advance!
Guys, I just noticed that ExFat is also an option when formatting. Reading about that I found that it's possible to use files larger than 4GB.
Now the thing is... Everything will be just compatible as when using FAT32? In terms of reading and writing speed, and apps usage in general, it's the same thing?
So as title says, my 16gb (not even 16 but 8,9) are not enough for me so i need to get a new external sd card, any of you guys know what is the biggest sd card an s4 can handle ? thanks !
I use a 64gb SD card but I read the other day that you can use 128gb but not 100% they will work
Hey all,
Forgive me if this question has been asked before (Google did not help me find an answer) but I'm looking for the "best practice" method of upgrading my MicroSD card once it's already been mapped to internal storage using Marshmallow's "Flex Storage" capability.
I bought a 32GB Moto X Pure Edition and promptly installed my fastest MicroSD card (a 32GB PNY U3 Turbo card) and set it to function as internal storage after the Marshmallow update.
Since then, I bought a 64GB U3 card so that I'd have ample space for music and video. What I'm trying to figure out is the process to:
1) Take a snapshot of my internal storage (i.e. copy to an external HDD)
2) Remove the "old" microSD without any detrimental affect to installed applications
3) Mount the "new" larger microSD as internal storage
4) Copy everything back to the new internal storage
Is there a documented process for doing this, or some sort of migration tool I can use to upgrade the microSD capacity?
Good question
Bumpage. Has anyone seen anything on the nets describing the storage upgrade process for Flex Storage?
Probably not possible unless you flash a new ROM over the old. My understanding is that the sd card, once made to be part of the phone storage, is that it is 128bit encrypted in EXT4 format.

The thing is I currently have more internal storage free space available than actual data stored on my SD, so ideally there should be a way to migrate my data back to true internal storage, eject the SD, and replace with a bigger card?
Even if I have to do it manually, I want to make sure I don't screw with installed apps.

Might be a stupid question but have you tried taking out the card and seeing what happens?
I think the moral here is to start with the largest capacity card you think you'll need. 64GB cards are dirt cheap these days. Unless you need your entire mp3 collection on your phone, I doubt there is a real need for anything bigger.
I mentioned this in another thread, but probably more appropriate here. There is a way to partition the card for both internal and external storage. Portion of it is used for apps/data while the rest for pics/music and is visible when not in the phone.
The question is, can you create a twrp image of the system & internal storage with one sd card. Replace it with a different one, repartition it (in recovery), then restore your data?

Hello,
There might be a solution.
(Please notice I translate the android names from French, so there might be some variations)
In the settings/storage, click on the interal memory line.
In the settings -the 3 dots top right-, you might be able to transfer data from SD to internal memory.
Then, you can format back you sd card, remove and replace it, and voila, that should work.
My 2 cents,
I have installed a Cyanogenmod ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (although I think that my device model won't be relevant) and I want to mess around with others rooms on my SD card. However, my only micro SD card which seems to work as a storage for apps on my phone is a class 10 Sandisk ultra (hc) and I have a couple more class 4 Sandisks which are not in use.
The point is, the only sd card which I think will work as a reasonably fast storage for ROMs is formatted to have two partitions: an ex4 one and another one with a fully system called f2fs. This, as I have read, is not resizable, but there is a way to backup the data and move it to a smaller partition to free up space for another ex4 partition for Multirom. Any help?
