Hi I have searched the forums but no fix has been posted or it is quite possible that I have missed it. If that is the case I apologise for the double post.
I have a Sandisk 64gb class 10 microsdXC, and after it has been formatted to NTFS it registers on my device as 59gb. I can transfer files from my PC to the card and it writes perfectly fine and I can read it on both the PC and transformer, however I cannot copy, paste, make nee folder out ant changes on the card from my tablet.
I have tried numerous file managers, including root explorer. I have changed the permissions and made sure it is not read only when mounted. I have read that others have had similar problems, hoping for a workaround without using the PC for all file transfers.
Any help would be appreciated

Android does not support the NTFS format properly. Try formatting card to exFAT or FAT32.
I have 2 64gb class 10 from SanDisk. They have to be fat32 I formatted mine in my tablet and phone. Both work fine to paste.

Gorgeous!! Fat32 works, can't get exFAT to work though. Good enough for now. Thanks

Anyone have this card http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007W...-5410429?ref_=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_1 or any 64gb SD card? I'm having a problem getting cwm to recognize it. I already reformatted it and still it does not work in cwm. Anyone know anything about this? My 32gb card works just fine

Try formatting on a Mac. I have that card, tried three PCs with no luck but works perfectly after formatting on Mac using FAT.

I guess cwm does not support exfat which the gs3 defaults to when formatting 64gb cards. I found out here http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...ting-roms-hacks/184708-64gb-micro-sd-cwm.html I need to partition the card with a program. I'll do that tomorrow I'm going to bed lol

One of those "believe it or not" things: the SDXC (SD eXtended Capacity = 64GB or more) specification says that the default (factory) format is exFAT. The GS3 recognizes both exFAT and FAT32, but some ROMS do not support exFAT due to Microsoft's funky licensing.

You don't need to partition it. You need to format it to Fat32 as was mentioned.
I am now on my 3rd 64GB MicroSD, the same one in OP.
It works when I get it, but it preformatted as exFat, which wont work with ROM.
The first 2 SDs I used EaseUS Partition to format as Fat32. Format went fine, but when I went to place files on card, card unmounted. This last one I used Ridgecorp’s Fat32Format, but same problem.
When I insert card, Win7 sees it, but if I go to format/write it disconnects.
Before I send this third one back to amazon, any ideas how to format it?
FYI, I took the last one to a frien with a mac to see if he could fix it, after i tried to format Fat32, but no luck.

Yea, I believe that's the same card I have(had for working on 3 1/2 months now) and I used the Ridgecorp GUI utility in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773735 to format it as soon as I got it.
I've loaded it with music and continue to play said music all the time, use my ext for all my ROM downloading and storage. I access it all the time thru the phone and computer with no problems attributed to the card. (Some ROMs screw with my computer seeing my phone period)
Surprise! TW UI Did the trick!
S'up Crew
I don't know if this would apply to anyone on this thread but I bought a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC and my SGS3 Wouldn't recognize the card and all.
At the time I was running CM10 Stable.
After trying several different methods found around the forums (both here and external) nothing worked.
W7 would only recognize it as a 32GB because of OS limitations and with every single third party software I tried it was always the same thing (32GB only).
So on a whim I decided to try a slightly different approach.
I flashed a backup I had of the Original Touch Whiz UI I had laying around back onto the device. Shoved the SD card into it and LO and BEHOLD.. It recognized the card.. Erased the Contents and Formated it properly!
I went into Titanium Backup to see if it actually worked and there it was..
63.xGB.. Woohoo!
So apparently CM has problems seeing a 64GB MircoSDXC correctly and the Stock Touch Whiz UI OS works nicely to see it and format it.
Hope this helps the next person who reads this!
I formatted my 64GB class 10 card in my Mac to fat32 and it has worked fine since.
CWM sees it as that size, TWRP does, both my Mac and PC do.

So I formatted my 64gb micro to Fat32. PC recognizes it at 64gb, but I can't get it to transfer any files to it. Says there's no space available. What gives?

What type card is it? Also when trying to transfer files is the card in the phone or straight to the computer via micro SD adapter ect....

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!
Anyone...anyone...

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.
Hi everybody,
I tried too many times to read my micro sdhc card 16go through computer, mobile phone and other devices but no way it didn't work either.
It only works on the nokia 500. So i plugged the phone computer and I formatted the card in fat32 but it didnt work to be readable on other devices than the nokia 500.
Does anyone have an idea or issue to fix it please?

It may be the way it was initially formatted. The only thing I can think of off hand is an sd card reader

Thanks for reply, I also tried with an sd card reader, it's the same problem. Could Nokia set a protection on the sdhc card ?? If yes, I've just lost an sdhc card to be used on other devices....

Connect your sd card to computer with card reader and start command prompt.
Type the following:
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /r
This will Scan for and attempt Recovery of bad sectorsor
cd chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /f
this will Automatically Fix file system errors on the disk
Try these commands and see whether the problem is fixed or not/

SOLUTION :
In the nokia storage's options, just click for 2seconds on the SD CARD STORAGE and it will appear an list of option as "delete password". I've just deleted the password which was put to get an private storage. That's why i could'nt use my sd card on other devices.
Now i can use my SDHC card on all devices that support it
I'm copying an mkv file less than 800mb to my sandisk which is formatted to NTFS. It used to work before and all of a sudden, I can't copy/move/delete things on the usb from the tab, any suggestions?
Backup the contents of the drive.
Format to exFAT.
NTFS is Microsoft. Android doesnt like it.

if that doesn't work try fat32 . both of my 64gb class 10 have to be this format for everything to be read accordingly.

Same, I use fat32. FAT is much more linux/android friendly
What I don't like though is the 4gb limit on files for fat 32, is there any way to go around that besides splitting the files?
Just did a short read on exfat, thanks for that
+1 for fat32. I've never had any problems with any of my devices running it.

I rooted successfully and got directory bind. Everything is lined up perfectly and I press add and nothing happens. I then go into the sd card via my pc and I try to create a folder and the PC won't allow me. I suspect the card can't be written to which is why directory bind won't copy. Any suggestions? Before I rooted, I had no issue creating a folder on the SD card....
I should mention I also d/l the sdfix kitkat program from google play and it says no action necessary.....I also can take the sd card out of the shield and plug it directly into my pc and it works fine so it;'s def shield related
The current format is NTFS. I've been reading FAT32 could be an option but I'm using a 32 gb card so am I going to lose half my card? Don't understand why I had no writing issue prior to root and now I do? both were NTFS
FIGURED IT OUT - FAT32 was the answer. works now formatted that way. not sure why ntfs all of a sudden stopped working after root.
so shield can't write on NTFS either.. ?
I knew it can't handle exfat, that's just meh..

that actually wasn't the problem, he ran the app but it was already modified.
NTFS was the problem as the shield only supports it as read only.
