How do you format the sd card on here. On my phone it's in setting under storage but on the tablet I don't see it.
I used my computer to format a SanDisk 64 GB card but it reads it as 29gb only. I'm not sure what format it was I missed used the default it gave.

Hmmm...
Good question!
I wonder if you un-mount the card\remove it\wipe it with win disk management\reinsert\mount...if the tab will write it's file system to the card.
I checked my Samsung card and it's fat32.
I've never formatted it from windows.
I bought the card inserted it in the tablet and have been using ever since.
I'm curious about this too!

Fat32format tool will break the windows limits, just google for it and it will format any size.
I'll try these ideas thanks. But how can I format the card while it's in the tablet.

You can't format it directly from your tf700, it doesn't have the format function, but you could with your phone (the one that support external sd card).
For people that are trying to reformat their Sandisk Ultra Microxdsc 64gb uhs-1 card from exFat to FAT32, check this site:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm. it did it in about 10 sec. Now when I boot to TWRP it sees the external card. Enjoy:good:

If your tablet is rooted and you have busybox installed, you can use mkdosfs from a terminal app or adb.

Old thread I know but maybe people searching will come across this solution ...
Assuming you have CWM (or possibly TWRP but I haven't checked) you can boot recovery, choose mounts & storage, format sdcard1 then choose your preferred filesystem.

I have this issue as well. I inserted a 16 GB micro SD card into the transformer and it was not recognized. I think that the solution is to format the card on another android device or your computer and then put it into the transformer and see if it is recognized. I haven't tried this myself but that's because I don't have time to copy 16gb worth of data to my computer then transfere it all back later after I formatted it. In the end, some cards are recognized and others are not. I also recommend trying to remove it and reinserted a couple of times in the transformer to see if it will recognize it.

This is not a good idea if your card is full up
Hi.
I was wandering is there any way to format the microSD card on teh TF300T?
If so what is the filesystem used/permited?
I would like to put some home videos, that are bigger than 4Gb, and the Fat32 filesystem doesn't let it.
If you want to use the card in Windows computers as well as the tablet, format it with NTFS. If you're just using it in the tablet, ext4 is the best. Note that Windows doesn't support ext4 (or anything that isn't FAT or NTFS for that matter; it won't acknowledge the card at all), so be aware.
Edit: I don't think you can format the card in the tablet. It was removed from ICS. You'll need to use a computer or an Android phone (pre-ICS).
"I'm a PC." So I will format it to NTFS. Too bad i have to use the computer.
Thank you.
Just formated my microSD to NTFS and it works just fine.
Thank you for the advice.

I tried formatting my san disk ultra to ntfs and exfat with several different cluster size combos and it wouldn't work. At one point it did mount the card but I couldn't read (other than folders) or write to it.
Anyone out there know how to get a 64gb card to work? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Never mind, I found the appropriate thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761861). Looks really hit or miss at this point... :-(

Did you try sd card maid? You may be able to partition it into 2 partitions.

The MicroSD card issue was resolved with the last firmware update.

What firmware version are running? .26 should solve most issues, though my 64gb ultra worked fine on.22
I have mu micro sd card in my tablet and when I plug my tablet in via usb I open up the storage and open up micro SD and it won't let me delete or add anything to it.
Also, when I try to delete stuff on the micro SD from the tablet, it says permission denied.
I don't have access to a micro SD to SD adapter anymore, so what can I do?

I had this problem on a phone's SD once. My solution was to reformat the card. Sometimes if it has trouble reading any portion of the card, it can revert the SD mount to read only. You could verify that by looking at the removable folder through root explorer if you have it.

How do I reformat while it is in the tablet?
I can't put it into my computer anyother way besides the charging cable through the tablet
I removed mine and put it in a PC card reader and formatted that way, then put it back in. Again, what I did was on another device, and this is strictly a guess based on your description.

If you have access to a digital camera try formatting it in there; sometimes that works, too.

Yup, same concept as putting it into a digital camera or a phone. Sometimes they're better able to format the card and then it'll work in other devices as well.
I had the same problem with both Samsung and Transcend 32 GB microSD class 10 cards. Probably we need a community-driven list with supported flash cards...

Has anyone figured this out? i bought a 32gb sandisk microsd and I'm having the same issue. The tablet won't read it. I've tried to format it on my PC with both NTFS and FAT32 and neither makes a difference. :/
