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 believe the 64GB capacity is supported but it may be that the SDXC type card is not accepted. Have you tried a standard or SDHC card instead?

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.

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.

That would be great, if I had unlimited data or constant access to wifi. I do not have the first, and at work, the wifi is locked with a password only the bosses get. I have a usb wifi adapter on my computer that will share my internet with my ad-hoc enabled devices, but alas, the charge does not have this capability either (unless my endless searching has missed something somewhere). So direct storage and access is my only chance (also, I have limited space on my computer, so storing and listening to them there is not feasible either.

well, you don't have to download all of the files at once - just one at a time. perhaps the night before you can sync the book you want to listen to your phone to have it ready the next day.

YES you absolutely can run the SanDisk 64GB class 10 micro SDXC card in your HD2. The phone does read the full 64GB and can access it all. You do have to reformat it first as it is in exFAT which can't be read. It needs to be formatted in FAT32. The kicker with that if you try to format in your PC, MS has deemed that FAT32 is 32 GB max and if you use the inbuilt format in any version of Windows, it will only format it in exFAT or NTFS. I also tried using a program called SDFormatter but it would not allow me to format in FAT32 either. I ended up using EaseUS Partion Master Home Edition, which is a free program. It worked a charm, and was very fast as well, Then I xxcopy'ed my SD card contents onto the new 64GB card and installed it in my phone. Both my WM 6.5.5 and my SD Android 2.2 are working perfectly, though the Android may be just a bit slower now and then. Both my 32GB and my 64GB are class 10s. I use XXcopy to keep a backup of my SD card on my computer, just in case. I update the backup every couple weeks or if I have updated anything significantly (which seems to be all the time with Android apps). I am running Core Cell Evo v4.1 and CoreDroid v.08.

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.

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.

i bought the same card but BSPlayer cannot recognize the movie i saved. I can use the file manager though to open it and select BSPlayer to play the movie. Is yours the same? which ROM and ver do you have?
Alright, first let me start by saying that I hope this is in the right area and i'm sorry because i'm sure this question has been asked to death.
I have a Galaxy S 3 Running stock with android 4.0.4 (Not rooted)
I also have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC class 10 MicroSD card (Formatted to FAT32)
I have had the phone a month and for probably the first week I was using the card in the ExFAT file format...Then random card identification problems started to pop up. So I scoured the web for a short time and found that the issue could be solved by reformatting the MicroSD to FAT32 at the expense of not being able to have single files larger than 4GB. Everything worked for a good week, then suddenly the phone didnt know I had music on it anymore, my player stopped and i confusedly navigated through songs that weren't there. I removed the card and reinserted and the files worked again.
Well today the phone is doing the same weirdness again, it is identifying that there is in fact a 64GB MicroSD and the amount of data is correct. It is also allowing me to navigate to the files in ASTRO, even my PC still detects and allows me to Add/Delete files from the MicroSD...BUT my phone will NOT use it. For example, if I go to camera and want to take a picture with the destination being the MicroSD, the phone says "What MicroSD?", also my media gallery is empty (Save for the files stored in the internal storage) and my music player is empty as well.
Anyway, I didn't know what course of action I should take. Does it sound like one or both of these items needs to be returned/reformatted/smashed with a hammer?

If that's the case why does it state on all the North American Cellular phone websites that the phone supports "Up to 64GB MicroSD"? Seems crazy that such a large feature could be so buggy.

The GSIII (international and US) variants do support 64 gb micro sd cards. It's advertised on the box.
It sounds like your sd card is failing you. Definitely backup all your data to a computer and think about replacing this micro sd card via manufacturer warranty.

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:

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.

Failed again today. This POS phone claims to support 64GB cards and it barely does. I'm getting pretty pissed off now.

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 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.
