I'm using the latest CM 10.1, and can't seem to write anything on my Sandisk Ultra Class 10 64GB SD Card. I can read it alright, but can't write anything either directly or through MTP. I can;t perform Mount/Unmount R/W in Root Explorer, and can't change permission in CM File Manager or ES File Manager. Format won't get it normal too.
Yes I know it's a "known issue" of CM 10.1 for TF700T, but I've also heard some Class 10 SD Card models are working normally. So can someone of you tell me if your SD Card is working and what is its model?
Update: Mount/Unmount is partially working, I can and only can write files/change permissions in CM File Manager and Root Explorer. Can't do it in ES, and through MTP.
Update2: After I changed my SD Card into FAT32, it's working perfectly now.

I bought a Samsung class 10 16gb because it was rated the fastest. Well on my pc it screams, on my pad.... I tried ntfs, ext4 and fat32 and on all it worked only sometimes. If I pop it out and reinsert it is fine for maybe an hour. I was running CROMI 3.4.7 when I last tried this card. I'll try again now that I'm using sbdags stock 4.2.1.
I'll let you know if it suddenly helps...

What microSD-cards are you using, that are fully compatible with the TF300T?
I bought 2 cards recently, having issues with both of them. I just ordered a new card reader for my PC, hope that fixes the issues.
Card 1: Transcend 32GB Class 10 - Formatted to NTFS.
Issue: Fully working on PC. On the TF300T it is read only.
Card 2: Sandisk 64GB ultra class 10 (SDXC), formatted to NTFS
Issue: On PC, only visible when in SD-card adapter, write lock ON (switch option). When write lock is set to OFF, no card found. On the TF300T, I get read-only.
Will try to reformat the cards tomorrow when I get the card reader, hopefully that will solve the issues..

Your issue is the file system you have used for the cards, not the cards themselves. Android can't write to NTFS, only read it.

not quiet correct - there are kernel ntfs addons that work (a700 stock rom eg. r/w ntfs 32gb)
do you have a terminal installed? whats fdisk telling you about your card?

They should cook that into every ROM, if it is available. It isn't a huge pain in the ass to use a card reader, but I have to anyway since Google Android transfer for Mac is the worst piece of **** software ever made, limiting 4 gig file size.
Formatted my 32GB card to FAT32, but I really prefer NTFS because of the file size limitations (whats the point of a 64GB card when you cant have 4+GB files on it?!)
Anyway, as FAT32 the 32GB card works as it should. Just hope the CM team will fix support for write on NTFS soon...
there was a ntfs mount app in play store - had soso success with it - sometimes it worked sometimes it fc'd on me...
mb try that - since you have two cards you can use one as a guineapig with the app.

I know the specifications list it as supporting up to a 32GB MicroSD but is it possible to use a 64GB MicroSD card in it?
I am doing it right now, but from what I've read searching on here it has to be formatted in a different device because for whatever reason the tab 2 won't reformat it on it's own, but once you've got the card formatted to fat32 (you need a special app to do it on windows) you should be good to go in the TAB.
Here is a command prompt formatter that worked for me.
1. Unzip the file to the root of C:\
2. Mount your 64GB card on your PC and take note of the allocated drive letter (e.g. e:\)
3. run command prompt on PC (search for cmd.exe)
4. get to c:\ (I think cd c:\ will do this)
5. type fat32format.exe e:\ and press <return>
(where e:\ is the allocated drive letter from step 2, so if it mounts as f:\ you would type fat32format.exe f:\ instead)
This should then format your card as FAT32 which works fine in my Galaxy SII so there's no reason I can think of why it wouldn't work in the Tab 2 too.
This is all at your own risk of course - I won't be responsible if something goes horribly wrong and you kill your card, PC, Tab or anything else...sorry.
Did anybody have any success with this? I am looking at buying the Tab 2 7.0, but I need a 64GB MicroSD.

Yes, I use a 64GB sandisk card formatted fat32 and the tab uses it no problem.
I think I used Easus Partition Master to format it.

Did you not read my post? I pulled the 64GB that I formatted in my SGP 4.0 (didn't you have one of them too?) and stuck it right into my Tab 2 7" and it works FLAWLESSLY.
Stock JB or KK-Boot kernel support exFAT formatted card.

Does anyone know if the need for the sd card to be formatted as fat32 (or, as the case may be, exfat) is also true of the Note 2? I have both devices (plus a Note 10.1, with which I have no problem using the 64gb card right out of the package). The Note 2 and the tab 2 both have issues trying to read a 64gb card. They recognize the card and its max size, but renames copied files and folders or doesn't copy them at all.
Thanks.

Formatted fat32 using , I can't remember now , but it works great.
Will I still get all 64gb of the card when it is formatted fat32? I hear fat32 supports only up to 32gb partitions. I know I will never get the whole 64gb due to file system usage but something like 59 or something gb should be fine

Got the card today firnatted it in my laptop as fat32 I get 58gb which seems like a lot has been taken away that is 6gb but other than that it works pretty well from what I can see so far
It seems that my SD card is not writable when inserted. Is this true? I tried to create a new folder on it with root explorer (I am not rooted though) and it said that my device needs to be rooted in order to accomplish that task.
Any ideas?
Jonn
Did you try something like es file explorer? I would try that.
That didn't work either. It says "operation failed".
I actually noticed that it wasn't working playing act raiser and it wasn't saving my position. Moving the ROM to internal storage worked. I then tried to create a folder.

Huh. Just tried a different SD card and that one worked. Weird.

I spoke too soon. After removing the sdcard that worked and putting it back in, it no longer is writeable.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It works again if I pull the card out, restart the shield and put the card back in. Perhaps something up with the mounting process?
It appears that once a card is mounted, if it is removed and re-inserted, it remounts as read only.

It looks like sdcard mounting is messed up. I can't get any of the sdcards i have tried to mount.
Did you go into settings and actually click unmount before removing the SD Card? Many linux systems (android is linux) will mount devices which werent safely removed in read only mode for some bizarre reason.
I tried that as well. It still doesn't work.

when you go to storage under settings, under sd card does it show total space for card. if not maybe you have to format it to NTFS first. thats what I had to do with my new card. also said to do so on shield guide

I did not read the destructions. The destructions have useful information? Where may i find these destructions? I assumed fat32 so that is what my sd is formatted to.

sorry i cant post link yet cause im new to forum. but go there, (shield.nvidia.com/user-guide/sd-card) user guide said to format it to NTFS
Would has added this sooner, but I lost my sdcard reader.
Formatting it NTFS worked.
Still wont mount, but now i at least get the option to mount.

Yes, I formatted it to NTFS before I inserted it. It shows the total space and space available, it just doesn't allow anything to be written to it. I can take it out and put it in a PC and it works correctly. I also have another SD card that I tried and it worked for a few minutes, but I haven't been able to get it to keep working.

sorry I dont know what else to tell you, i first had the same problem like yall when I stuck in a brand new card. nothing I downloaded would go on to card. and it didnt show the amount of space left under the storage menu. Then i found out it need to be formated to NTFS. Once i did that everything started downloaded and showing up on card.

The only memory card I have gotten working (about 1 minute ago) is 512MB and formatted fat32
The card i want to us is a 16gb microsdhc formatted fat32 when this memory card is in my shield it knows it has a memory card but says it has no partitions on it.
I am running testdisk on the sd card and it found 9 partitoins. I will try and clean that up.
To be honest, I've never tried SD card support on the device. So I can't say one way or another. But I'll be looking at it soon enough since I got my first build of CWM for SHIELD waiting for me to debug in the other room once the kids go to bed.
I just tried two different 8GB class 10 transcend cards, an 8GB class 2 generic card and a 256mb sandisk card. I put each card in and copied a file from internal storage to it. Then I removed each of the cards without unmounting and put them back in and proceeded to copy a file to the card again. Every time it worked successfully. I do not even know what format they are in and didn't format them before testing. And, maybe the issue didn't show up because I didn't give it enough time. I am not sure.
Also, I know this is probably a really dumb question but the micro sd slot is spring loaded. You are pushing it in until you hear a good solid click right?
issues
Having issues of my own.
Bought a 64gb sandisk SDXC card for shield. It worked 100% fine in my SGS3 formated for exFat. But not in the shield...
It seems to work somewhat when formated for NTFS. But the file path is really messed up and 1/2 my apps cant see the SD card because of this. It something like (root/storage/sdcard1/....)
2 apps that are basically usless right now due to this are Power amp & FPse.
Android doesn't normally support either exFat or NTFS. The shield may include support for them but if I had a shield I would steer clear anyway and go with what android definitely trusts in FAT32.
Hopefully NVidia will do a firmware update to sort these problems though
Since updating to 5.1 (latest BlissPop ROM) from 4.4, I've run into a lot of issues with my external SD card (SanDisk 64GB Ultra, also tried 64GB Extreme).
Unable to install apps from apk/amazon app store if they have permissions for the SD card
Unable to move apps to SD under Manage Apps
Inconsistent write ability to SD.
After a lot of googling, I've seen that there's the issue with platform.xml (adding media_rw to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), that the SD card needs to be formatted as NTFS and/or renamed. I've tried these without success. I can use Folder Mount to move app files but this doesn't fix the installing apps from the amazon store. I can unmount the sdcard, install and then remount but this is a bit ridiculous.
Are there any solutions that allow the external SD to work consistently and without constant hassle? I rely quite heavily on the additional storage.
Thanks,

I had the same problem with a SD card from Sandisk 64 GB with my Shield Tablet on lollipop. She worked flawessly and a day, I wasn't able to write on it sometimes, some files had disapear, I couldn't mount.... Check your SD card first. Mine was HS. And be aware to make it writable, lollipop don't allow permissions. You must be rooted for that.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. Or how to verify the card is writable. I can write to it using a file explorer with root access, but that's about it.
Yesterday I received my Nvidia Shield k1, updated to Marshallow but I can´t use a file manager to copy files to a micro sd. You can do it with the internal file manager but that it´s too limited.
The first time you try to copy a file to the micro sd (and I tried Total commander, Es file manager and X-plore) you have to select the micro sd´s root directory to give the rights to the file manager but it ends up failing and with a zero-lenght file. And when I do this with my Moto Style it works. And the same happens if you connect ith throught the microUSB with USB-OTG. The only workaround I found is to use the USB plugin in Total Commander and connect it throught USB-OTG
Has anybody tried? Would that be solved wit stickmount and root (if it works in Marshallow).
I found the. The card was formated as exFAT. I reformated as FAT32 and now it works. It also doesn´t work if the card is NTFS. So for the moment I will reformat my cards as FAT32 and endure it.
Thanks for the info OP. I just ordered mine and have been trolling the forums looking for issues or tips.
