samsung micro sdcard encryption - supports exfat? - General Questions and Answers

Do any of you guys use a Samsung phone (mine is i9505) encrypting a EXFAT formatted external sdcard?
I tried to encrypt a 2GB exfat formatted external sdcard, but the encryption failed.. (it didnt actually start the encryption)
The exfat card mounted fine though
I wonder if it works on 64GB or 128GB micro sdcards?
Any experience? what room are you using? Thanks

[Q] Micro SD Card not being recognized.

So I just received my Transformer this afternoon, and formated my micro sd card to ntfs with default allocation. I plug it into the transformer and storage settings shows up for micro sd card as unavailable. So my question is does SD card work straight out of the box? Or do I need to do something to it?

mine works without any problems, try doing a fat format to the card rather than a ntfs
so yeah looks like fat 32 works and ntfs doesn't >_< thanks man.
For future reference, NTFS only works with Windows (for the most part)

[Q] MicroSD file format

I just got a new microSD, my phone formatted it as FAT32. I guess that's fine, but since everyone here is always extolling the speed of ext? I was wondering if I could format it with that. Running infused, so I was wondering if it would be ok with that on the external microSD also?

Android in 2.x is really set up to treat the SD partitions as FAT.
You would be unable to use the phone for USB storage with any Windows machine if the SD (internal or external) were formatted ext4.
for htc inspire kind of phone this is useful where internal memory is just 4gb.
so one can make a portion of microsd card formatted as ext2(4?) for app2sd(storing/moving apps to sd card)
here with infuse there is plenty of memory.
just my 2cents.

files greater than 4Gb are not able to copy in memory card

The memory card format is generic format in G pro 2 and its not allowing the user to copy the file more than 4Gb.I have formatted the memory card to NTFS but when i insert the memory card in phone its asking to format again and getting changed to the Generic file format. Is there any solution for this issue any one has come across?
Why not to use exFAT? G pro 2 can use cards formatted with exFAT file system. I'm using 64gb exFAT memory card without a problem. Just format a card to exFAT on a computer.

[solved]Partitioned exFat SD Card not showing up after reboot

I partitioned my SD card (100gb exfat and 20gb ext4) when putting the SD card in Solid explorer and apps could see it, however after rebooting the phone neither solid explorer or the apps see the SD card. In settings->storage "android_ext" (the name of the exfat partition) is listed however. If I put it in and out it works however. How do I fix this?
