Hi, there
As I could experience exFAT formated micro SD cards are not supported. Neither via internal SD slot nor via OTG.
Do you share my opinion?
Thanks

I am having issues with the following setup on my Nexus 7. I have the eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and the elago Mobile Nano I USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader. I have tried two microSD cards, one 32gb and one 64gb and I am unable to copy files to the card using both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. It says that the copy failed. I have tried formatting the as exFat, NTFS and FAT32 and no luck. Anyone out there experience this?
Thank you in advance,

You're missing a piece of the puzzle. If rooted, you should install Stickmount, which mounts external storage using the OTG Usb cable. I use it to read/write and stream media from a 32Gb microsd card using FAT32. Some custom kernels or roms natively support mounting, but I'm just stock, rooted, 4.2.1.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am rooted and I was already using Stickmount. I am able to mount both the 32gb and 64gb cards and see the content on them and access the content on them but I can not copy anything to either card when connected to the Nexus 7. Any other things I can try?
It appears that I need to have the card formatted to FAT32 in order to be able to copy to the card from the Nexus 7. Does this sound correct or is there a way to get the card formatted to NTFS or exFAT?
Some custom kernels and custom roms support NTFS, but I'm just using FAT32 which works perfectly unless you need support for files over 4Gb. Easiest way to get it to work is to just format your storage with FAT32.

this is correct. android reads, but doesn't support writing to NTFS or exFAT natively. some kernels add ntfs-g, which does give you write access, but it's buggy at best.
Hi,
I have put a micro SD card into my Xperia Z2 but the phone is saying that the card is damaged. There were some films on it previously but now I can't format it.
please help.
On another note, what is the biggest size microSD card that the Z2 is able to support?
128GB maximum
Sadly the stock firmware only supports fat32 filesystem
Is your sdcard formatting in a different filesystem, Exfat?, NTFS?
Is your PC be able to read your MicroSD?

Are you sure stock doesn't support exfat? i'm currently using existenz 4.0 on a LB with a 64gb exfat microsd card no problems it works fine in twrp recovery too. As far i can remember it was working on stock rom too but i'm not sure...

Now that i think about it, i think exfat and fat32 are supported
Twrp doesnt count by stock firmware, twtp should support all formats from ext2 to fat16
ExFat is supported by Sony stock. I use 128Gb microSd but the only problem is delay in storing pics and videos.
If your card is getting damaged its because of partitions getting damage.
Use SD-card formatter and format with it via windows then use.
Samsung Galaxy S4 stock roms support EXFAT on external sdcards (the cards mount just fine).
However, I would like to know if the external sdcard encryption, featured in Samsung stock roms as opposed to aosp roms, also supports EXFAT
I tested the encryption on a EXFAT formatted 2GB microsd card. It didn't work, but this is probably due to the fact that it does not make sense to use EXFAT on a 2GB card. I haven't been able to test on 64GB or 128GB cards yet because I do not own one of these.
I would appreciate your help in this regard. Thanks
Hi,
I just flashed to CM13 in my S5 and realized the lack of exFAT support on the external SD card (64gb Samsung pro)
are there plans to add this, or do I need a different ROM? (Does CM12.1 support exFAT SD cards?)
Thank you in advance for any Info's.
hi does mi a1 supports exfat format for sd card
No
Yes they do, I have a 64GB exfat sdcard and it works like a charm
it will format 64 gb microsd to fat32.
