Problem using 256 GB memory card ! - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a problem in using 256 GB Class 1 memory card. When i insert memory card system ask to partition memory card. Please suggest me how to partition and use 256 GB memory card.

Partitioning only splits up your drive into multiple parts and it was used in the days of windows 95 because the filesystem couldnt have 1 2tb drive or smth. like that.i dont know what file system your sd card will be put in bit i recommend you make two partitions only and if you expirience that you cant put mor files on there creat more partitions

sd card format - fat16 or fat32 ?

i have a 2 gb sd card which i plan to use as storage in my flashed tilt.
i formated it as fat32, but guess there is some problem doing that as my tilt has started giving me a critical alarm that there is very little space on the storage device - i have hardly used 50MB in the 2GB sd card being used as the storage !!
can someone advise me the file system (fat16 / fat32) to be used & its allocation unit size for use of the 2GB SD card in the tilt.
thank you

I use FAT32. card standard allocation unit size.
Use 128mb,256mb,512mb mSD to flash with.
Carlis
FAT32
I use FAT32...see the 8GB link in my signature for a link to a thread that has a great app that specifically formats the SD card in a proper way.
FAT32 is much more efficient.

i'm now on: Advanced/Partition SD Card
i can change:
EXT Size: 512
and
Swap Size:32
and i can choose: EXT3 or EXT4
or I have to do it differently?
Ok thanks i got it

i used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6 to delete the partition and create a new one.
Finish disconnect the phone from pc.
On my phone shows error that the SD Card cant be scanned and have to format
I format it and get 7.39 gb i thinks thats normal that i dont have exactly 8 gb

SD card partitioning

I have a 128 gb sd card that im using with my s5. Partitioning was easy enough, but as I was following a tutorial, I only made my partition 2.6 GB. Can I afford to make a larger partition? IE: 15 GB? Whats a recommended size for my SD card? Thanks!

Understanding once and for all Android partitions and storage on modern phones

I am a Linux power user, so I am used to deal with Linux / Unix partitions, BUT Android partitioning scheme has always been a huge WTF to me, even if I resized partition of many Android phones with the lovely XDA guides.
Okay, let's start with what is easy to understand. Here you can read a good explanation of Android partitions
/boot
/system
/recovery
/data
/cache
/misc
Let's take as examply my Samsung Galaxy S5: it is selled in two versions 16 GB and 32 GB internal storage. Mine is 16 GB
I installed CyanogenMOD 13 on it, I installed a 128 GB micro SD card and I formatted it as internal storage (Andoird >= 6 feature).
Android >= 6 internal storage has been projected to expand the applications memory too
So I expected the phone to see the 128 GB micro SD card as the only memory storage. But it is not actually.
At the following URL https://s27.postimg.org/rmc4muymr/Android.jpg you can see the phone using two different storages:
Internal memory 11,59 GB
SD Sand Disk card 119 GB
I cannot understand why Android is still using the internal memory of the phone, even if it is actually using the SD card too (as I can see checking the size of /Android folder on the SD card).
Could you please help me understanding "the magic" behind Android storage paradigm?
Thank you

With that feature, apps that can be installed on "External" storage, will be installed there by default, same with pictures and videos, you now have the option to move apps AND its data (Unlike before in 5.x)
The phone will treat the SD card as internal storage (Only because of the way the SD is formatted) however, being that SD Cards are slow in design, Android will not classify it as "Actual" internal storage.
I hope this information helps you out!
