If you use a sdhc card you need to format with FAT32.

I assume that you use a MicroSoft operating system and have selected the option FAT32 during formatting. MicroSDHC cards like your Sandisk 4Gb can only be fully used with the FAT32 option.
Have you checked the size of the card using MS.
As a test, try to store small files up to the storage capacity to check if you can write beyond the 2Gb.
If you can't store beyond the 2Gb your formatting with FAT32 has failed.

thank u very much
i have tried to use more than 2gb
and i can do that

You can used MicroSDHC cards, but only with the FAT32 and sector size 16kB. Sector size is very important for right functionality.
I use Kinqston 16 GB MicroSDHC card (Class 2) without any problems.

sd card format - fat16 or fat32 ?

i have a 2 gb sd card which i plan to use as storage in my flashed tilt.
i formated it as fat32, but guess there is some problem doing that as my tilt has started giving me a critical alarm that there is very little space on the storage device - i have hardly used 50MB in the 2GB sd card being used as the storage !!
can someone advise me the file system (fat16 / fat32) to be used & its allocation unit size for use of the 2GB SD card in the tilt.
thank you

I use FAT32. card standard allocation unit size.
Use 128mb,256mb,512mb mSD to flash with.
Carlis
FAT32
I use FAT32...see the 8GB link in my signature for a link to a thread that has a great app that specifically formats the SD card in a proper way.
FAT32 is much more efficient.

[Q] 32GB micro sd showing as 32MB

I don't believe this is device specific hence in the general area.
I have a 32GB sandisk card in my Dell Streak, after loading the clockwork orange mod my sandisk (class 2) 32GB shows up at 32MB and unformatted/raw etc
It looks as though the geometry of the card has been changed. It is now showing
3 cylinders, 255 heads and 63 sectors.
My 16GB Kingston (class 10) has 1973 cylinders 255 heads and 63 sectors
Is it just as simple as changing the cylinders from 3 to 3946?
I am having the same problem with my 32gb sd card. Any way to fix it?
Nope I never found a way.
It was the 32GB microsd that came with my Dell Streak, in the end I just returned the whole thing.
There must be some software that can do it but I never found it
Did you do anything to the SD Card ? like formatted it or partitioned it ? , you can try to reverse the process , but i do not know how to do so .
Try to formatting on your pc, the sdcard.
the software is called "testdisk"
Im using it now but still running into a problem
Have you tried repartitioning the card?

Indeed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table for more information, you will need to reformat your sdcard to another file system format that supports larger files (but note if your using windows your options are limited!)
then what format do i use?
obviously not FAT16, an i heard that NTFS is read-only for android system

Well thats the thing if your using windows there isnt really a file format you can use thats natively supported with windows, but I believe you could use ext3 and use thrid party software to access it in windows

Format SD Card As Internal Storage Issue

So I was able to format the 64GB SD card as internal storage and it now appears under the Storage menu. However, whenever I connect my phone to the PC to transfer some files to it, I can only see the main memory and not the extra space. So what is the benefit of doing the above if I am not able to use this additional space for files management and media storage?
Anyway I can solve that?
You may have not installed the correct/latest driver. I actually just tried this for the first time and it's the opposite. I could see my 64 GB microSD card, but not the internal storage (and yes, I did format it as internal).
the same for me, i can format like sd card , when I formated like internal storage , display me a warning (slow card) if I wish to continue, I said yes and then tell me damage SD Card .... any help please!!! sorry about my english....
my card is a SanDisk 32gb microSDHC UHS-I Class 10
I have 65 gig formatted as internal on my PC it shows as 80 gig well 74 gig really I also tried 64 gig SD card bought from eBay and told me card corrupt and ended up buying one from reputable company locally and works flawlessly

I had the same issue when I was rooted with S-ON. I have now gone back to stock and all seems to be working fine. Think it's got something to do with security/encryption maybe, I could be wrong but just a thought.

ok... I have root and s-on.... then thats the problem.... thanks....
btw if anyone advanced user have the solution... please.... thanks...
Maybe it's normal
I think it's normal. My unrooted A9 has an SD card formatted as internal storage too. When it's connected to a PC, only "Internal Storage" will be shown because it's merged by the device's internal storage and the SD card together.
You can see the space of "Internal Storage". It should be around 16G/32G (internal) + 64G (SD card).
Hope the above helps.

After trying it a several times and restarting the phone, all I can get now is the internal storage of the memory card. The additional 16 GB of the phone's original memory don't even show
Same **** for me. But my internal shows up as 10 GB?
Hi Guys,
Just installed a brand new Sandisk Class 10 64Gb SDCard and it stuck on 20% for the last 15 minutes, tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the white HTC Splash screen, any ideas?

I ended up giving up and sticking to using my 64gb SD as internal storage
Yea I went root last night and notice i can no longer see my 32gb sandisk :/

Problem

and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?
device xt1575 android 6.0
My coworker had that issue with his 64gb card. But my 32 and 128 worked fine. Try formatting the sd card as fat32 maybe, then attempting to have it "adopt"?

it is not clear yet because using a USB flash drive to 32GB everything works fine, and the phone does its system memory.
