Exfat is pattended by microsoft
It's beter than fat32, because it can handle file's larger than 2gb.
The last thing i know about exfat is that there wass a implementation in Android system and it's fully supported. So i don't think it will cause problems, but remember, the implementation is still in beta version.

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.

[Q] MicroSD file format

I just got a new microSD, my phone formatted it as FAT32. I guess that's fine, but since everyone here is always extolling the speed of ext? I was wondering if I could format it with that. Running infused, so I was wondering if it would be ok with that on the external microSD also?

Android in 2.x is really set up to treat the SD partitions as FAT.
You would be unable to use the phone for USB storage with any Windows machine if the SD (internal or external) were formatted ext4.
for htc inspire kind of phone this is useful where internal memory is just 4gb.
so one can make a portion of microsd card formatted as ext2(4?) for app2sd(storing/moving apps to sd card)
here with infuse there is plenty of memory.
just my 2cents.

[Q] Trouble with 64gig sdxc

Hi all:
Hopefully you can assist me I currently have a 32 gig card in the 8013 with lnk2sd running fine I got my hands a new 64 gig card but when I run mini partition my W& machine doesn't see the card for anything beyond 32 gig the 8013 sees it as a 64 though how can I partition it to be able toy use link2sd any clue?
Check the SD card properties in Windoze and see how it's formatted. I think FAT32 has a 32 GB limit. If it is FAT32 reformat it in ExFAT
Did you partition it already... Also what ROM are u running and how did u get link2sd working... I can't get it to work

No rom just straight root
I formated my 64GB in fat32 on my PC. Everything is now o.k.
If you use files more than 4 GB it is better to format in exfat.

I'd say Durango01 has used a 3rd party app to format FAT32. I have used Easius partition manager to do this but as JB supports exFAT, why would you?
CMR doesn't support exfat so if you are planning to use your SD card for backups as well as appdata it wont work. Best way would be to partition and have one partition exfat and another as exfat for larger files.

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

samsung micro sdcard encryption - supports exfat?

Do any of you guys use a Samsung phone (mine is i9505) encrypting a EXFAT formatted external sdcard?
I tried to encrypt a 2GB exfat formatted external sdcard, but the encryption failed.. (it didnt actually start the encryption)
The exfat card mounted fine though
I wonder if it works on 64GB or 128GB micro sdcards?
Any experience? what room are you using? Thanks
