First off let me start by saying this is the only real issue ive had with my TF700, and despite it would still recommend it 100%!
My problem is that i get reboots when copying large files to/from the infinity, and when trying to use AppBackup/Titanium Backup.
I dont know whats causing it, im on the newest WW firmware. I want to do a complete system restore, and try again, but halfway through any backup i get a reboot...
Any help would be great!
There are many posts about this already...
Basically, there are issues with NTFS-formatted SD/MicroSD cards.
Try using "exFAT" (if you need files over 4GB) or FAT32 if you don't need large files. FAT32 is the least problematic.
Hopefully, Asus will fix this in the next update.

ok thanks, i thought i had formatted to exfat already, turns out that was an old card.
could this also be the cause of video playback issues from the sdcard, like stuttering and failures altogether?

Hello everyone,
I am having an interesting problem with a 32gb micro SD card it my transformer.
I am trying to transfer movie files to it (approx 11 gigs). The problem is that the tablet can play the first 3 files that get transferred over but nothing past (keep getting file can not be opened error).
The files are approx 700mb each, xvid files.
I have true all of the video players that are popular with the same result.
It seems to me an issue where the transformer can not read / access the files past a certain point on the card.
I have tried transferring the files over my network and wifi as well as direct copy to the card from a desktop, same result.
Has anyone seen this before?
Would it be worth formatting the card to an ext file system as opposed to fat32?

have you tried putting the sdcard on the computer and verify that the files are working correctly?
there are some sdcards that are counterfeit, especially if they have huge capacity and sold for very cheap.
I once got (as a gift) a 4GB usb drive that was in reality 1GB in size, files up to 1gb work just fine, above that you start getting all kinds of errors.
Thanks forthe follow up. Allthe movies play fine on the desktop,still just getting that the video playerz can't open the file. It almost seemslike the system thinks they are inuse by another program.

HUH? Don't you see question marks in his post?
Just to close this off. Issue was the memory card. Bad card. Replaced with a new one and everything is working well.

Heya all,
I've been searching for over an hour now and haven't found a response, so please forgive me and direct me to the appropriate thread if one exists. Here's my problem. When I went to bed last night, my TF101 was fine. No errors, running smooth, no problems. Plugged into the dock, and I put it on the charger, as I do every single other night, before I went to sleep. This morning, however, it's as if a band of demons has run amok in my TF101. I'm lagging all over the place, crashing, freezing- you name it, it's happened, short of the device fully erasing itself (I backed everything up a bit ago, just in case). NOTHING has changed. I've managed to resolve all the problems short of this one: I'm getting (and appear to be) damn near out of space in my app memory. I have the 32gig model, rooted, stock rom but Guevor's kernel v22.1, OC to 1404 per SetCPU default profiles. No app updates have installed, and no new apps have been installed, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how in the world I suddenly have no space left when last night I still had over half my memory empty in this device. I'm not a major Linux person, but am capable of following clear directions for troubleshooting, and any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance folks!

Your transformer may in fact have been possessed by a demonic horde. I recommend you factory reset in CWM (wiping cache and dalvik-cache as well) reinstall your ROM and have a priest perform a proper exorcism on the device. See if that helps.
Damn. Thanks for the reply, Thing. I think this is one of those cases where one seeks advice because even though they know the answer, they don't want it to be true. I was really hoping to manage this without having to reset. As ridiculous as this will sound (because it is ridiculous), I don't want to lose all the work and progress I've made on my Sims Freeplay game. I've got MyBackup Pro, but that doesn't seem to play well with SU, as I just get the "SuperUser has been granted access" or whatever it says when it tries to run, and it's never backed up the app quite like that before, the full progress. It only re-installs the .pkg file. I wonder if Titanium Backup would work better. Your thoughts?
Incidentally, Thing O Doom, you were the one who saved me from the horrible doom of being unrooted. I was not thinking, and updated to .24 without making sure to back my root up, and sure enough, got stuck. Your method was the one that worked for my rather touchy and pissy, although beloved, Transformer. I swear, this thing is possessed by VIKI from I, Robot.
Which brings me to my next question.... Please bear in mind that this is WAY out of my depth, so if it's ridiculous please be careful when you fall out of your chair laughing, but is there some way to extract my Sims game, with all it's progress and data bases, from a nandroid backup, and then just insert/install that back onto my TF101 after the wipe?

Titanium backup.....backup app and data (not system)(do a batch backup for all your apps)
Free on play store.
Just redownload and then reinstall tb after flashing any rom & batch restore your apps with data.
Use the tick in the top right corner to see the batch options. Regularly redo your backups for modified data aswell.
Thanks Scotty.
Unfortunately, I may be out of luck. It seems like no matter what I uninstall, I can't clear any space at all. It stays at around 225MB free, despite me having uninstalled around 300MB of apps, clearing caches, and not having more than 13gigs full in the first place. I wonder if there is a way to side-load it. Like, download the .apk file and install from there... Hmmm.... I'll try that, see if there's any luck there. I paid for Titanium a while back. I just downloaded the Revolver zip (if I have to flash, I'm putting a rom on here, and not messing with ASUS's silliness anymore), so it will let me DL from the web...

OK, I managed to get TB to install, and now have backups. I noticed that TB has a feature called "Extract from Nandroid", and am hoping that if the backup fails somehow, I can pull it from the nandroid. Here goes nothing. Thanks for the help guys!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
@Thing, the restore worked. Whatever the Horde of Demons THOUGHT it was going to get away with has failed, and I now have a quietly behaving TF101 again. I'm giving Revolution a test spin.
@Scotty, thank you again for your EXCELLENT suggestion. My Sims backed up and restored beautifully from TB, and it's now my daily driver for backups. They've made a lot of improvements since I stopped using it in favour of MyBackupPro.
My TF101 is purring along, better than before now, and I'm quite pleased with it. Thanks again guys.

I have the same problem also.. every weeks or so my TF would run out of space..
I read somewhere. Here in XDA that to check the logs folder in. /DATA/LOGS
Some apps keep making a bunch of log files and it would filled up my TF free space.. now I just check the logs folder and delete those pesky files (I use es file explorer)
Hope that help you..
Thanks for that! I've bookmarked this thread so I can try that before wiping next time. I've also switched to Titanium Backup, since it actually restores the app data as well.

I have a Sandisk class 4 32gb microSD card in my infinity. Whenever I try to transfer large file to it, be it either from computer or through a file manager program, my infinity freezes and reboots. The card is in exfat format. Around 300mb of a large file will be transferred, on average, before the freeze happens. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm trying to transfer movies over that range from 2-10 gb. The only way I have been able to transfer is by inserting the SD card straight into the computer and bypassing the infinity completely. I'd like to be able to leave my SD inside the tablet at all times.
I believe it's a bug in the current Asus firmware. Putting those large files on the MicroSD via your PC is probably the only way to do it reliably at this point.... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. At least there is a workaround (doing via PC) until Asus fixes the firmware...

ASUS- Release it now, fix it later.
Thanks for the info, I will just keep up my current technique then. I liked my prime, I like my Infinity but ASUS needs some serious help when it comes to firmware and QC.

Couldn't agree more with that statement!! I'm not sure if they are just trying to do too much with too little resources or what, but they should be ashamed of the state of their QC (in terms of hardware and software). Until there is more true competition, I don't see it changing though. Hopefully, more competition happens sooner rather than later!
Let's face it, where else can you get full HD tablet with such a great docking station?

Hope that JB have an improve about this... also transfer to usb have this issue
easy fix
Just format the microsd to Fat32 and it doesnt do that anymore. I tried ntfs and exfat, they both rebooted device when accessing. Until its fixed just format it to fat32 and no issues. To avoid the 4gb limit on files just transfer files over a FTP server setup on your network and it will bypass the 4gb limit on file size. Dont know why it does that but with ES file explorer it works perfectly fine. When using regular LAN tab data transfer is about 600KB, but with the ftp tab my pc transfers at about 2-3MB/sec.

Im going to pull my hair out. I finally managed to root/upgrade to cyanogenmod 10 and now i cant read my external 64gb microsd card. It use to work just fine in my stock Asus Infinity and now it doesnt. I tried using other mounting methods, but they were meant for other devices(like Evos, Galaxy, whatever). It can read other microSd cards, like 32gb and 8 gb, but i dont want my 64gb going to waste. Can someone help me and i apologize for being a pest.
I do not have my 64 GB yet -- I'm still a little wavering about ordering the Sandisk Ultra Micro SDHC Card 64GB Class 10/UHS-z as the reports of it working or not vary -- but I am curious as to how it is formatted. That might help the more knowledgeable folks out in determining the root cause. I gather it did work on stock? Can you try and reflash CROMI (after making a nandroid backup) and see if it works again?
I have a Sandisk 64GB MicroSD UHS-1 card (the red and grey one) and it works beautifully on CROMI

In the dock or in the tablet itself? ( I don't know if this still matters... -- it used to!)

Works fine in both.
It use to work fine before I installed cyanogenmod10. To get it to work on the original operating system, I had to format it in my phone to create the partitions because it wouldnt recognize the card in the tablet (wouldnt let it mount or anything). I tried doing the same thing again this time and it didnt work(not allowing it to mount). Im inserting the microsd directly into the tablet.
BTW, thanks for the replies so far, I do appreciate it. Any info is useful
Sounds like a cm issue. Have you asked other cm users if they have similar issues?

No problem, that's what we're in here for. Partially...
What filesystem did you format to? Have you tried redoing it? GParted has been good to me, I don't know what system you have to your disposal to reformat. Why are you doing multiple partitions -- are you aiming for the data2sd mod? Have you tried making it a single partition? If you insert it into your phone, it does work, I gather -- if you make copy a file to the card, is it actually written?

I did a quick format on the computer, Fat32, then I formatted it in my HTC Evo 4g LTE because thats how I was able to get it to mount/read originally in my unrooted/unmodded tablet. It works on my phone no prob. As for the other questions, I think i worded my problem kind of wrong, because I wasnt trying to do any fancy kind of partitioning; i just want my sd card to work. Sorry for any confusion
EDIT!!:
So the plot thickens! After a random reboot, I was able to get the tablet to recognize the card...and then when I powered it down and backup, it lost it. It seems it randomly recognizes the card after a reboot(but not all the time). UGH!

do you know which build?
Hello everyone. I have been having issue after issue with this 64GB MicroSD I got recently. I bought it at a local Best Buy the other day (there was a sale going on; $49). It is a SanDisk 64GB Class 10 MicroSD. I got home and formatted the card. I formatted it in FAT32 with the HP USB Format Tool that I always use for SD cards. Well, the moment I put it in, it said that it was damaged (occasionally said that it was blank). I tried removing it and reinserting it, and the same thing. I have tried putting it in a different GSIII as well as a Droid Razr, and same. I tried reformatting with the same tool, but this time doing a long format. Same problem. I also tried EaseUS Partition Master. Same problem. I have also tried using a live build of Parted-Magic. Same problem.
I am starting to think that the card is a dud, except for two things:
1: It works fine in my PC. It reads the exact amount free, it shows all of my files, and it let's me play them with no issue.
2: It shows up in Clockworkmod just fine. I can back up to it and flash from it with no problem.
I am really just left here scratching my head as to what the problem could be. I made sure that all of the settings are correct each time I formatted it. I have tried switching ROMs and still get the same problem. I have tried just about everything that I can possibly think of to get this card working. I am hoping that someone can help me with my problem.
You can call them and they will send you a new one, I did it about a month ago.
I was having similar problems.

Do you think it is a problem with the card? If so, I am still within my return limit at Best Buy. I can just take it there instead of waiting on a replacement. Just wasn't sure if it was the card or something I was doing.
It's a problem with the card. I had the same problem with a 32Gb card from Sandisk. Files could be seen for a day and then disappear! I could tell the camera app to save to the card and that would also work for a while only. Fo/ders create on the card via the computer would do the same. In one situation I created a folder on the PC, copied a film to it, viewed the film in my phone add took some still from the film. The next day the film and folder was gone put the still -stored on the internal memery- were still there.
Contact sandisk. They must be aware of the issue.

OK. I went to Best Buy and exchanged it the other day (lucky I bought it when I did; they marked it up to $99!). I am still having the same problem. I am not sure what I am doing right. I have been formatting and copying the files while it isn't in my phone. I am using my card reader in my desktop. Could this be the problem? Am I able to format it while it is in the phone without using the phone's format tool?
First you use the tool to format the card to fat32. Once you do that you are to install it to your phone then use the phone to reformat the card again so the phone can use it. Card will have issues with phones when you format it with the tool. Your suppose to format it with the phone as well after for it to properly work. Good luck

Just thought I should post on here and let you all know what my problem was. I got it all sorted out and Play Music is showing all of my music. My problem was that EaseUS defaulted the partition as a "logical" partition. This was leaving about 75MB unformatted, and Android didn't know how to handle that empty space. After changing that to a "primary" partition, I have not had any problems. Serious derp on my part. Lol

I found that if you format the card from in the phone and then transfer data, you shouldn't have any issue.
