[Q] 64gb wont work

Ok, i dont know if this has been posted before but this is my BIG problem. When ever I plug in a 16gb sandisk memory card to my galaxy note 10.1 n8000 it works seamlessly without any problems it shows how much space i have and other options like unmount and the like.
BUT, when I plug in my 64gb sandisk microsdXC it doesn't even mount and the only option i see is mount sd card and when i press on that it shows that sd card can be removed.
I want to know why it is like this. I want to use my 64gb on this and I have already got a replacement for the memory card and i also tried reformatting the cards with exFAT and Fat32. I am at a loss and I don't know where I can find the info to get this fixed. I am begging for anybody to help me with the steps to get this fixed
This is how it looks with the 16gb memory card

This is kinda strange, because i had the same problem with the same card, but found out of the box its exFAT, reformatted to FAT32, now works flawlessly...depending on firmware (i'm on 4.0.4 XXALI3, no exFAT support) even exFAT is said to work finally, don't remember which one actually. Thanx you SAMSUNG, finally acknowledged those cards come with exFAT out of the box...i would try to reformat and make sure it's really FAT32, as not all windows machines seem to produce FAT32 out of the box (I'm on MAC). hope this helps...

my baseband version is N8000UBLG5 4.0.4
I have tried to reformat on my windows 7 alienware laptop. It is really weird. I was worried because I thought that it might be a hardware problem but when i used the 16gb memory card it worked flawlessly. I only used the format option that comes with windows. Could this be a problem with the software? I just hope that this is not a problem with the hardware. I hope someone could shed some light on this for me.

You can't format a 64gb sd card fat32 using window natively, you need another program such as Easius partition manager to do it. This might be your problem....

where do i download this?

Still doesn't work
Ok, I tried using the formating program and still same thing. It wasn't able to fix it. The only option that shows in the storage part is "mount sd card". And still when I click on that, it shows a notification that says that sd card is safe to remove. Im really at a loss here. I guess that because I can use the 16gb memory card, its probably not a hardware problem right? I have the n8000 3g+ wifi model. I don't know what region it is but I bought it at amazon.com

Is the sd card recognised in windows? Can you open up and copy files to/from it?
If you have another phone you could try to format it in that BUT be careful as it can screw them up...

yes It is recognized in windows and yes I can copy files on it. I actually tried it on my galaxy s3 phone and it was recognized. That is why im really wondering why this won't work on the n8000...I am hoping to find someone who could fix it, I would gladly pay for the fix if it would be repaired.

you could try to format in the S3...mine isn't' available right now,so I can't try myself...not sure if S3 does exFAT though....

If you have access to a Digital Camera and a Micro SD to SD Adapter you could insert the micro sd card in the adapter and then insert both into a Digital Camera and reformat using the cameras format instructions.
Worked for me in the past.

[Q] Not seeing MicroSD but sees SDcard

I just picked up a 64bg microsd with the sdcard adapter. Now when i have the keyboard docked and i use the card/adapter together my tf300t sees it no problem and asks me to mount it. However when i just use the microsd card alone(which was my intention all along of course!!!!) it looks like it starts to run the media mounting but never does anything. At first i had the card formatted to NTFS then i formatted it to exFAT and it doesn't make a difference. I am running 4.2.1 JB for what it's worth. I didnt see any current threads about this that was recent.
Thanks for any help.

ok after doing some troubleshooting i think its this Micro sd card apparently in conjunction with my transformer. i took my samsung 16 gig microsd outta my android phone and what do you know my tablet recognized it right away and i had the option to mount it. What bugs me is with the 64gb microsd in the tablet as soon as i plug it in it says "preparing external storage" then just goes away. I wonder if i did a factory restore (back to 4.1) even though i dont want to if that would fix it.
How annoying.

I think this tablet doesn't support 64GB cards without a custom kernel...

Man that is ridiculous. But with the keyboard it works? Frustrating.

Tell me about it. Strange thing is I have seen someone else posted here that their TF300T works with a 64gb MicroSD card so that just irks me. I have gone as far as to partition it, format into every file system I can save for Mac which wont make a difference as well.

F it all. I got my coworker to pay me the amount I paid from Ebay. Problem solved. Guess I will get a 32gb.

Same issue for me until I ran a custom kernel. I use a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class10. Works great for me!

Until i can unlock my damn tablet im stuck with stock. Its very frustrating but im not alone at all at least.

What if you format the card in the Transformer?
Dumped down the innertubes from my Asus Transformer TF300T

Dont have it anymore but it wasnt possible because the transformer didnt mount it or give me the option to. I went one better and formatted in my epic 4g, didnt matter. Partitioned it into 2 32gb partitions, i tried everything. I bought a 32gb and it works fine.

I tried formatting mine from the dock even, which did see the card. But once I put it back in the tablet proper no go. I unlocked mine as I wanted this card to work as well as tethering with my Verizon phone using ad-hoc mode.Everything works well now for me,just waiting on a custom rom for the newest ASUS update to 4.2.1!

I got a 32GB Sandisk class 10 for $20 from BestBuy.
Tonight I am going to try using it in the tablet and SD slot. My whole purpose is to make it work as MicroSD card so I can use it even when the tablet isn't docked.
I purposely stayed away from 64GB as some say it doesn't run properly and I don't want to unlock, root or install custom kernal at the moment.
I tried quick formatting it in win 7 and it didn't happen, so I am regular formatting in NTFS, that probably won't work so I will reformat in exFAT and see if that works, hopefully. If both don't work than I will have to root the device and install something like paragon exFAT app.
The whole purpose is to NOT have a 4GB file size limit for files.
lets see what happens.

You should be able to format it however you want. You should have no issues with the 32gb. I didnt after all the trouble with the 64gb but as they say YMMV.

I don't know why but for some reason it wasn't getting formatted to NTFS, I didn't bother because it's working in exFAT format.
Just to confirm.
My 32GB SanDisk Class 10 is working fine in the MicroSD slot. I formatted it to exFAT and copied a 8GB MKV and it played fine on MX player.
When I put it in the SD card slot on my laptop running Win 8 using the provided MicroSd to SD converter, it wasn't getting recognized until I ran chkdsk and since than it's been working fine.
I will try testing it in the TF300 SD card later today.
My whole purpose was not to root etc the device as I don't have the time right now to do that, if a device is rooted, there are apps on the market that can mount a NTFS card as well.
I've attached the screenshot for benchmark.

[Q] Most interchangeable file system for (micro) flash (SDXC) cards ?

Hello Masters !
Last May I ordered for my mother a cheap Chinese 10.2" ZeniThink C91 Upgrade tablet with theoretical support of memory card up to 32 GB.
This July I bought her a new 8" acer A1-810 tablet also with theoretical support of memory card up to 32 GB and I got her old tablet
Than I read here in a thread that the acer may support 64GB.
So I ordered a Samsung 64 GB Class10 UHS I microSDXC for my mother's new acer.
I tried the card in my old tablet which recognised it and can use it.
I put it in the new acer which reported it as unformatted and offered to format it.
I was scared so I got the card out.
My mother has a desktop computer with WinXP and USB SD-adaptor and I have an acer notebook with Win7 and built-in card reader.
I tried the card in both and they showed it's formatted to exFAT and they can format it to NTFS or exFAT (XP needed an update before).
Just a few days ago my mother's new acer tablet got an update with NTFS support so I formatted the card to it.
Then things swapped so my old ZeniThink COULDN'T while the new acer COULD recognise it.
There were no such problems with the previous 16 and 32 GB cards although they were FAT32 I assume.
I have just now read that Windows doesn't make it impossible to format cards to FAT32 but it's only available in command line format command.
So that's what I'm doing right now:
formatting 64GB Samsung C10 UHS I microSDXC card to FAT32 in micro-to-SD-adaptor on an acer notebook under Win7 command line.
So what do you think is the most usable and portable/interchangeable file format between WinXP, Win7 and Android systems ?

Well, I couldn't succeed. Command line posted 'The volume is too big for FAT32'

Thank You, but unfortunately I don't have Android phone and there is NO FORMAT OPTION in either my old tablet with 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwitch or in the new acer with 4.2.2 JellyBean.
How can that be ?!

What Do I Do If My SD Card is Corrupt?

I cant see my files on my SD card when view them on my PC. This happens even if the SD card says its got 4.3 GBs of files.
Does this mean that my SD card is corrupt? Do I need to buy another one? Would reformatting fix this SD card?

try backup the files to your computer, if it's able to transfer the files and the file can be opened normally (eg. open document or picture)
then format the card on your phone, and then transfer the files back to your sdcard

But do you think that its better to just buy a brand new sd card? Or do you think reformatting it would make it like new without any issues?

if your card is quite old, or it's a cheap brand then you should get a new one.
if you like to save some money, then try to reformatting is just cost you little time to know if it's still usable

If it isnt the sdcard problem... i doubt its the drivers fault of you're pc .. try to reinstal it
hope my suggestion can help you ! Had one situation like this but i had driver problem from my pc

Format the sdcard. Backup your files first. If not, just buy a new sd card.

if u tried formatting and its working then congrats....u saved some bucks....
otherwise i suggest buying a good brand SC card with enough memory to support your needs.

What i did to overcome this issue is first i formatted using SD formatter with options (full overwrite,format size adjustment off)...................then i formatted in our mobile............. AND last do not use usb cable for data transferring instead use usb card reader to transfer files............. these helped me alot...............till now i have not had any problems if u done what i said above...........

SanDisk
I'm using a SanDisk 16gb Card. No problem here. I think it's hardware-sided from the SD-Card.

same card for me. Working perfectly w/o any troubles.
Also, looks like this phone does not like exFat formatted cards, it just corrupts them. So try to format your card to another FS, maybe that would help u.
