I have only had my TF700 for aboutdifferently. w but while was waiting for delivery I ordered the SanDisk Micro SDXC 64 GB Class 10 card. I have never had be concerned about type, size or class working in my pc, and laptop or tablet. I admittly I have never ordered such a large card for a tablet before. I thought at the price of the TF700 it should take just about anything. That is until I read through this accessories thread that I found out differently. Can someone tell if anyone has found a way to make this card work in the tablet or the TF201 dock? Thanks

I have this card and it worked fine right out of the box. No need to format or re-format. I also have the SD version of this same 64gb card in my dock, and it also works fine with simply inserting it.

I have this same card and it works straight out of the box. Only issue is you can not use the SD card for flashing it seems. You would need to format the micro sd too FAT32 if you want too use it for that. Otherwise have another SD card like a 4gb or 15gb that is FAT 32 when you want to mess around with flashing other rom's or images through RDK.

And how about creating two partitions? A small one in FAT32 for flashing purposes and the rest in exFAT? Wouldn't that work maybe?
I got my 64gb card today. I ordered the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC class 10 uhs - I but they sent me the SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDXC class 10 uhs - I card. Don't know the difference between them. I glad I ordered when I did because I only paid $44.00 and now it has gone back up. So, I carefully opened the the package just in case I had to return it. Put it in the sd card adapter put it in the sd card reader on my Win 7 64bit pc. I down load a couple of 1080p hd YouTube videos and transferred them to the microSDXC SDcard. I put the card in the TF700 (with my fingers crossed) and the TF700 recognized it. I then was able to play the 2 mp4 1080p videos perfectly. I did not have to re-format, it worked right out of the box
I could be wrong but I thought I saw a commit that added ntfs and exfat compatibility to CWR. I have this same card. When I looked at the partition it had, there was 16mb of unpartitioned space before the exfat partition. I just reformatted the partition to fat32 so I could use it with twrp. However I still couldn't mount it in twrp. I reformatted the entire card this time using fat32 and leaving no unpartitioned space. It now mounts fine in twrp, but I'm tempted to reformat to exfat again and see if it works on CWR.

Are you using TWRP? If so have you tried to do a backup? When I try to use TWRP it does not enable the external sd card.
Does this card support Data2SD? If so, how is the random write

Since windows only offered to format upto 32Gb, so if you want anything bigger you should download Fat32format tool here:

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard. By far the best partition management software for windows 7. Oh and the maintainer for the tf700t CWR said there are some library issues preventing exfat from working correctly at the moment. Hopefully we'll be able to use exfat in the future.
my piece of advice is to make just one partition and have it be MBR (master boot record). don't do any linux or mac GUID stuff. then I formatted it as exFAT. got it working today =)
I can report that on my unlocked TF700 w/ CWM Touch recovery & CleanROM 2.4 my 64GB card just like yours works perfectly.
However - I did have some issues getting TWRP recovery to read various cards.
I figured I would chime in
the SDSDQUI-064G-U46S works in my tf700 without a problem. I took it out of the packaging and placed it into the tablet, copied a 17gb bluray over (which was not fast btw) without issues.
This may be beneficial to people considering I just bought three of them for 33.60 each plus tax.
price matched amazon.ca 46.00 to bestbuy.ca at 169.99 with 10% price beat.

Hello!
(Please excuse me my bad english).
I have a Polaris (english version) and recently my Sandisk MicroSD HC card (6GB) become corrupted. Specially I lost all the subfolders inside /Program Files main folder (instead the subfolders I had only a couple of large files --more than 1GB-- and various other files with strange characters as name).
Anyone had this problem...? It seems that may be a problem like the Artemis had... I'm thinking to patch my Polaris with the Artemis patch but I don't know if it will work...
i have a Sandisk MicroSD HC card 8GB and no problem encountered actually.
Ziggy
I have a Sandisk MicroSD *Gb too and no problems.
I never Format a storagecard but one question: Do you Format it on pc with FAT32 and 32kb Clustersize? Try it.. maybe it helps..

It is compatible with MicroSD HC, although, the slot doesn't have a specific logo.
I use it with an 8Gb MicroSD HC card and it works fine.
8Gb MicroSD HC Format?
Those that are using the Sandisk 8Gb MicroSD HC, did you format it first? If so, how?
Format? I never have formatted a card. Just plugged it in all the time. So I did with my 8GB Card and the Polaris.

I didn't need to format the Sandisk.
However, if there is a need to format you need to format using FAT32 and not FAT16 or NTFS.
the Polaris is definately sdhc compatible...
while i was waiting for mine to get to me, i called HTC and asked this question.
i was bored and started accessory shopping before my unit got to me.
anyway, 8gb SanDisk works perfectly for me out of the box, no issues at all.
Thanks for the replies. The post above just got me thinking.
Formatting Micro SDHC
You should NEVER format these cards with standard utilities my experience is that it corrupts them and they are only recognised as 2GB cards there after...Google for SDFormatter v2 this does it correctly...

Hi,
encountered a similar problem when I soft resetted the device when an application was locked up while accessing the SD card. Fortunately I did not lose any data but had several additional folders and files with cryptic names. My solution was to backup all usable data, format the SD card as FAT32 on a desktop computer and restore the backup. Worked fine.

You can use standard utilities, but you need to know which format.
Example: for SD HC you NEED to format with FAT32.
as the guy above said.... you must know what you are working with and how to use it..
if you are using the sdhc then format it as FAT32 and it will be fine...
i also corrupted my memory card (SanDisk 8gb) by leaving it in the card and taking out the batter and sim and then replacing the battery,,,
all i did was use my usb adapter for the 8gb sdhc and format it on my pc for FAT 32 and it worked a charm...
Corrupt memory Card
Think I spoke to soon in an earlier post today my entire card vanished knew there was 3GB in use and 5GB free but nothing to show for it, all very reminiscent of the 2GB bug in the early days of the Orbit 1...
yep, I can confirm that. I've reached the >3Gb usage of my 8GB SanDIsk MicroSD card. And lost two times everything beyond 2GB of data (mostly the new ones). Looks like a bug.....had a backup. I think I will remove some data and see whats happen....
Dejan
This is such a worrying thread. Deja Vu re:the Artemis.
I'm up to 4 gig of my 8 gig card with no problems so far. Is anyone using the SD sentry program from the Artemis threads to monitor for problems?

How can I prove this? Was the data corrupted or deleted? I mean, were the files still there but broken or did they vanish?
I use 6GB so far, but can't find any mistakes.
I bought this MicroSDXC card http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WTAJTO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 from Amazon and every so often my microSD card will vanish. It will not show anything on the card when using Root Explorer and my music will not play and data on the card will not work. A few reboots fixes the issue but it's troublesome to reboot all the time. Sometimes it even says the card is damaged and needs to be formatted to work so I just reboot again and then it works. Anyone else having issues with this card? What can I do to remedy this problem besides rebooting all the time?
I have also experienced similar issues with the same card I got off Amazon a few weeks ago. I am tempted to reformat it from exFAT to FAT32 only issuue I would have is any video files larger than 4GB won't translate since FAT has a filesize limit If you don't have this issue I would try reformatting to FAT32 (backup your card data first) I suspect you will have no problems

It does the same thing as FAT32 so I just switched it back to exFAT.

CWM cannot read sdcards formated in exFAT, only FAT32.
If you need to format a 64 GB card in FAT32, a lot of people suggest using:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Maybe Samsung lied to us and the Phone can't handle 64Gb cards. Still having this issue and nothing fixes it.
I bought a 64 gb card a few weeks back when they were on sale and right out of the box I used GUIformat on my PC to format to fat32 and have never had a problem.
Maybe I'll give fat32 another chance.

It may also be that the microSD isn't that good either, and needs to be replaced. Other devices have had trouble with the 64 GB sandisk cards as well (i.e. Nook HD+ w/CM 10). But then again, the phone might just be temperamental as well.
I bought a card like this and I still can't get it to work, my computer recognizes it no problems but the phone won't, I've tried a few different formats. any suggestions?
I ordered a new Sandisk 64GB SDcard but after reading many threads on the topic here, I have a question about the format. From what I've read, in order to have the card recognized by CWM and other custom recoveries, it needs to be in Fat32 format rather than exFAT. Many people have suggested that you can use a Windows based 3rd party software to properly format the card, but I don't have a SDcard reader on my PC so I'm not sure what my options are at this point. I tried searching the forums about posts from people in a similar situation (i.e no card reader on PC) but was unable to find anything. Any suggestions or ideas on what I can do to retain the full 64gb capacity and still be compatible with CWM without having access to a SDcard reader? Thanks very much.

Will need to find a PC to format it. It comes ExFat and not only recoveries won't see it but roms/kernels may not see it either. The program is guiformat. Can Google and find it easily. The site is little confusing. Click on the picture of the app and it will give you the download.

Thanks very much for the response. I was afraid that would be the case. I honestly don't know anyone who has access to a SDcard reader, so I might have to just end up returning it to Newegg for a 32gb version instead. Thanks again, I sincerely appreciate the info.

I thought these issues were exclusive to just the 64gb variants.
I actually dug around in my basement and found my old PC tower that has a built in 8 in 1 card reader that supports SDcards. If I can find a way to extract it from the old tower and hook it up to my new one, I may yet find a way. Thanks again for the continued help.

Yea. Only difference between 32 and 64 is don't need a special program for 32. Windows can do it natively. Good luck.
I realize this question may sound ridiculous, but I figured there was no harm in asking.
Is there any chance I could stick the 64gb card in my old Droid X, connect it to my PC, and then use the program you suggested to format it to FAT32? I guess I was hoping the phone could act like a SDcard reader of sorts for my PC. Thanks again.

Won't work from phone but go to radio shack and get cheapest one of these you can find. May be able to get with 1GB card. Take pic and show them what you want. Sorry I been busy and didn't think about it. Good call Droid. $12 max.
So I purchased a SDcard reader, hooked it up to my PC, and formatted it with the guiformat program that was recommended earlier in the thread. I set the allocation size to 65536 and left the Quick Format option checked. However, after it finished, both Windows and the S3 only show it as a 32gb card (approximately 27 GB total storage space). Is there another formatting program for Windows or any other ideas you could recommend so I can get the correct storage size (64gb)? Thanks again.

I tried using a few different programs to format the card to FAT32 but every time it still showed up as a 32gb card. I ordered it directly from Newegg so I don't think the authenticity is an issue, but I have no idea what could've caused this to happen. Regardless, I sincerely appreciate the help I got from the folks in this thread and via PM. Thanks again for your time and effort.

There's another thread detailing all the issues with exfat 64gb cards here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698672
I encountered the same "hiccup" as you pertaining to the 32 gb issue.
I ended up using a program called EaseUS Partition Master to finally get all back to normal. I wiped my sdxc partition, it did come back with some message that something didn't complete ???, but then I formatted as fat 32, primary partition, and got the entire 64gb back and so far... ( fingers crossed ),.. all seems to be working well.
With the card formatted as exfat, as soon as I got around 8 gb of music, photos, etc.. the card simply would loose its' file structure and just start acting weird. All files would still show up if I pulled the card and put in an sdxc reader on the PC... but my Galaxy S3 never would recover them properly.
This has got to be some kind of "bug" in the phone as you'll see in the other thread this problem is quite common.
For what it's worth.. I seemed to have much better luck transferring large chunks of data with the card in the reader opposed to hooked up while in the phone. ( speeds kept dropping via the phone cable )
Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I actually tried the EaseUS Partition program you referred to, but it still remained at 32gb. I ended up returning the card to Newegg and will just get a 32gb to replace it as I'd rather not have to repeat this process. Thanks again for the useful info. I sincerely appreciate it.
Sure... I vaguely remember I had to try to format as NTFS first for some reason before I got it to properly format with entire 64gb fat 32. I spent countless hours trying to work out all the bugs with this card and exfat. Samsung states the Galaxy S3 phone is compatible with it... but there is definitely an issue with file structure once you start loading it up.
Quick update:
I ended up returning my Sandisk 64GB and replaced it with a G.Skill 32GB (Class 10) that was on sale for $22 from Newegg. Surprisingly, it came already formatted as FAT32 so I didn't have to mess around with it to get it working with CWM and custom kernels. Seems to be working great so far, and is plenty fast, so I'm pretty happy with the end result. I guess it might have been nice to have an extra ~30GB, but I mainly stream all my music/video anyways, so I'll have a tough time even filling up this new card.
Thanks again to everyone who gave me their advice and input on trying to get my first SDcard formatted correctly. Even though I wasn't ultimately successful, I sincerely appreciate everyone's time & effort.

I thought the Galaxy S3 supported the 64GB sdxc card. I have been having the usual issues with it (losing communication with it in the phone but it is operational in a PC) so I wrote Samsung support and got this reply;
Thank you for your inquiry. We understand that you are having issues using the 64GB SDXC card on the Samsung Galaxy S III phone You have tried inserting the SD card on the computer without any issues, Also you mentioned that you h ave already tried formatting the Card using the phone. We do apologize for the inconvenience that these issues might have caused you.
Pleae be advise that your device lets you use a microSD™ (SD) or microSDHC card to expand available memory space. The 64GB SDXC is not comptible to be use with the Galaxy S III.
I thought they stated at one time it did support the 64GB memory.

I did a quick Google on it and found some SDHC cards. I did see a ton of SDXC cards but I think there are others available as well. I would post a link but XDA won't allow me to since I'm relatively new.

SDHC only supports up to 32GB I am going to answer Samaung support and ask them how they support 64GB when SDHC only supports 32GB.
The Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification
I assure you my 64 gig sandisk sdxc card works just fine in the S3.
I kinda missed all the issues with read problems, because when I got it was before I had an S3.
When I got it, I opened the package, put the card right into my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide phone, formatted the card in settings, and have been able to use it in that and the S3 fine since.
Maybe try formatting the card in another/older phone and see what happens? I was running gingerbread on it at the time.
i really depends on which file system is compatible with yer kernel. SDXC by default uses exFAT which won't read with a stock kernel. reformatting the card in your phone will format using the FAT32 File system. FAT32 is a lot more compatible but it has it's limitations like cant copy files bigger than 4 gigs.

FAT32 works and it doesn't. When I play videos it will randomly cause the phone to hang, then reboot. Not at any consistant time into the video either. But the data stays intact.

I actually came to this forum to ask about close to the same question. I'm using the first card that pops up when searching "64 gb micro sd" on amazon, and frequently (while watching videos) the phone will crash, followed by 2 vibrations, and then it boots up again.
Do you also have problems with music saved on the card? On occasion, my phone will skip tracks and will only play a few of the songs. This only happens over bluetooth (so far), and manually clicking one of the songs on my phone causes the rest to work again.
I've also been having issues with the card in general. Sometimes mine will say it's corrupt at the top, but a simple reboot or dismount fixes it.
Please let me know if you find out anything.

The only official thing that I have from Samsung is that they support 64GB micro SD cards but they do not support the microSDXC, only the SDHC. 64GB is only available in SDXC. So I think the safest way is to go 32GB SDHC. Although from reading some prople have the 64GB SDXC working but many have problems with them, including myself. Another confusion point, San Disk says it will work. I have some older flavor of 16GB card in mine now and it has been very stable.

Thinking;
Is it possible to format the 64GB SDXC with multiple partitions? Create (2) 32GB partitions formatted FAT32 each.
I used a 64 gb micro sd sdxc out of the box on CleanRom. I formatted it on accident when trying to wipe everything preparing for a different rom. Now the sd card only reads 27.4 gb. I have seen countless threads on here and google but i am not seeing a solution. Any ideas?
does the de-odexed and odexed type of rom have anything to do with if the phone recognizes exfat or fat32 sd cards?

Uhh, not necessarily. It's primarily a kernel related issue. If you're using a TW rom that comes with the official OTA kernel then you'll have "no" problems with exFat. Synergy is one TW rom that I'm aware of which comes with exFat support courtesy of a custom kernel by a dev named Ziggy. Most custom kernels don't have exFat support. You'll have better results if your TW rom includes the stock OTA kernel, the same can't be said if it comes with a custom kernel. But exFat support is not based on whether the rom is deodexed or odexed.

That makes things a lot clearer. Thanks for the response.
I use a sandisk 64 sdxc every day with no issues. I used a windows program called EaseUS partition master to format it and its all good. Pictures, music, movies, flawless. On touchwiz and aokp ROMs. Primarily stick with leankernel.

I recently got this new SD card from ebay, it works great when im not using it no problems but when i try to move a file over to it it will constantly unmount itself how can i stop this?
Anyone?
What phone do you have? What is the size of file you are trying to move? Ebay is a dodgy place to buy SD cards as there are a lot of fakes ones out there! Usually hacked to give a false capacity and very low quality components used in manufacture with to-good-to-be-true prices. This could be what is causing the issue. I would recommend paying the extra for an SD card from a reputable retailer or a bit of hunting on Amazon.

Apparently after contacting the sepler the card is base dos-fat every time I try reformating to nfts it freezes the only other option is exfat which it finishs quickly but dosent change the random unmounting when transfering files.
The movies I have been able to get on there play without issue so only problem is when transferring files
Exfat is still a bit of an 'iffy' format when it comes to Android devices, I would suggest formatting the card to fat32. Windows cannot natively format anything over 32gb to fat32 so I would recommend following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041679 I have used the software in the tutorial before and it's very good. If that doesn't work then I would say more than likely it's a problem with the card.
