I ordered a 64 GB mSD from SanDisk since they work nicely in my SGS III and Note.
I just took them out of he blister, inserted into the devices and worked right on.
Now in my SGN 10.1 I inserted the mSD, it was shortly recognized but immediately notified as "ejected safely". No hint what to do, no options presented (format)
Checked mSD then in my Note and it said: unformatted ext SD.
I formatted the new 64 GB mSD in my Note then placed it back in my Note 10.1 and it works like charm (59 GB available)
Just to inform You in case the same happens to You .......,.,
Cool, I just bought a 64gb card from yesterdays Amazon blowout and will try to format it in my SGSII before using in the Note 10.1!

Have you tried adding/removing files up to 59GB but at least 32GB to confirm that it works correctly and not just giving a false impression that it's working below 33GB?
Jep, filled it up with my DivX movie collection + my pic file archive filling 46 GB ..........
HOw do you format using the note? I got mine from my inifinity dock (64g sandisk class 10) and just got my note and inserted the sdcard I did a half format on the computer to exFAT but it was taking too long.... then I reinserted it to the note, it showed unsupported type and asked if I wanted to format.... I click YES and there is no indicator that the card is being formatted.. So I hit the sdcard notification again and it asks if I want to format.. and samething. Am I doing something wrong?

Hope you didnt kill it by taking it out before it finished. I would never remove any card or drive in the middle of a format. You may need to format it on your computer. Hope you get it working.

Is the Note 10.1 reading the card in exFAT and are you able to store individual files over 4GB on the card? I had to re-format my SanDisk 64GB card in FAT to get it to be read by the Note. I'll go format the card in a Note or SGS3 floor model at the AT&T store if it'll get the Note 10.1 to see it as exFAT.

Did the Note 10.1 recognize the card as exFAT by itself or did you put it in another Samsung device like the SGS3 or Note first? If it recognized it by itself, what firmware are you running? You can find it in about device in settings.

Excellent. That means the missing exFAT native support will be released eventually. LH1 for Malaysia has a package date of August. I'm on LG5 for Brazil and the package date is July which is why exFAT doesn't work for me.

The same thing happened to me and it drove me crazy. This is what I ended up doing (from another thread). Some folks have just re-formatted to FAT32 using EaseUS without cloning.

It's a total PITA. If you have another Android device with a MicroSD slot you can try formatting the card in that device first. A lot of people have had luck that way. I tried reformatting a 64GB SanDisk card to FAT using multiple different programs and the Note still wouldn't mount the card or give me the formattng option. Here's the solution, I know it's stupid.
1) Download EaseUS Partition Manager (it's free) - http://www.partition-tool.com/landing/home-download.htm
2) Take a blank FAT MicroSD card and mount it to your PC
3) Have the 64GB mounted at the same time so it too shows up on your PC
4) Using the clone wizard, clone the FAT card to the 64GB card. Make sure to expand the size of the 64GB card before cloning so it doesn't pick up the size of the smaller card.

EaseUS was alot easier to use than the one I used fat32format (cmd mode). Im transferring some of the movies I have on file, but some movies are failing to copy like mkv extensions when the sdcard is in the tablet. But copying mvk movies directly to the sdcard is fine and the tablet can play it... wierd

Junrider's coming from Asus so that's Chinese. Here's a link to the rooting instructions for the OG 10.1. Follow them but rather than using the custom files suggested for rooting purposes, use the download of the Note 10.1 OTA that got pulled. The first link below also has a d/l link for Odin 1.85. It's a harmless process and since it's official s/w you'll have no problem receiving future updates either OTA or via Kies. As far as I know the only issue with the update were some changes in S-Note that not everyone thought were beneficial. I have a N-8000 but think that my version of S-Note is the same as the one people in the U.S. got via the update. I'm fine with it. If there's other issues somebody please chime in.

I always format to fat 32 and ive never had a single problem with any sd cards
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Because of large 4+ gig movie files, I chose to format mine with FatEX. This was one of the reasons I chose Asus over other tablets. Other stock tablets seem to only support FAT32 (unless things have changed since I last tested things out).
Anyway, what I did is use a microSD card reader attached to PC. Basically took the microsd out of TF300T and put it in microSD card reader. Then formatted using the basic windows 7 format option (right click drive and select format). FatEX should be an available option. I didn't change any format setting (other than enabling "quick format"). I've had TF300T for a few months now and I haven't had any problems. I am however on the latest stock JB they released a few days ago.
Just out of curiosity, why can android devices NOT support EXT4 formatted SD cards? I never tried myself, but wouldnt that be the best except it wont be recognized by windows?

Haven't tried EXT4 on TF300T. I do have the i777 galaxy S2. On that one, EXT4 and FATex did not work. Maybe EXT4 on TF300T might work. I have a spare micro SD at home. I'll give it a shot this evening and post update
AW: Micro sd card
I just bought a 32gb micro sd class 10 and I can't seem to get it working on my tf300t (already been delivered with JB )
I formatted the card to FAT32, exFat and NTFS but nothing seems to work.
I put it in, wait for anything - nothing happens
I restart the tablet, don't see any chance of using the card.
I tried accessing the folder "Removable" with the pre-installed file explorer and with es file explorer - but whenever I try to move something to this Removable, which I thought might be my sdcard, the result is that I don't have the rights to do so- either because the tablet doesn't like me or because it doesn't even recognize the card...
What should I do?

You can use directory bind as long as you have jb 4.1 or under.I have 64gb card with all my game data on it
So I seem to be having the same problem. Here's the situation:
I have a 32Gb Adata class 10 Micro SD Card
Running the latest CleanROM (the one from yesterday)
I insert it and the storage in the settings gives me the button to mount the card, but nothing happens when I push it.
I put the card into my G2x running CM7 and format it - same problem as line above
Format card, in G2x with win7 to FaxEX - same problem
Format card, in G2x with win7 to Fax32 - same problem
Put 16Gb class 10 Micro SD Card from G2x into TF300T - sees it no problem
Also, I just noticed this, I had a 64Gb SDHC card in the keyboard/doc and it did see it previously.. Wonder if it's the ROM. Going to flash back to a different rom and kernel to try it. Will let you guys know.
Update: Wiped and installed CleanROM 3.3 with the "TF300: ASUS 10.4.2.20 Stock Kernel" and tried again with the cards. I still see the button to mount both of them (The SD and Micro SD) and when I push the button a get a notification that flashes for a brief half second or so that says the SD/Micro SD card was inserted (depending on which one I did) but it doesn't do anything more than that. I will try again playing around with different configs, see what I can find. Anyone else have any luck with this that was having issues?
I have a SanDisk 32gb sd card. I noticed that big games don't download to it. I nothing does. How can I somehow swap the internal memory with my sd so I can download everything to my sd and not the sorry 7gb I have left

Stock touchwiz have issue with exfat ... At least that's what I remember reading somewhere... (havent used tw for quiet a while now ) Try fat32 (I know 4 gig limit is a pain ... But just to clear things up ... ) and see of it reads before flashing a recovery.

I just noticed this in your post above, you say 4GB limit, what did you mean by that?
In a Fat32 file system ... A single file can't exceed 4gb ... In case you want to transfer a 8gig rar file to your mem card ... You can't do it with fat32.

unfortunately no go so far, got home and reformatted several size SD cards but its not reading any of them. I had a few 8GB, a few 16GB and also the 64GB card I am trying to use but just no luck.
Taking it to a phone shop today to see if they clean the contacts on the phone itself and if that doesn't help I will return the phone.
I've got a 128GB microSD card that I've been using for a while with CM12.1 on a 900T. I just flashed CM13, and it says that it doesn't support the card. I swapped the card out with a smaller one that's FAT32, and it reads it fine. Is this an exFAT issue? Is this just CM13, or does Marshmallow itself not support this? Any idea?

I selected it as portable, but that doesn't address the formatting issue. It wants to reformat the card, saying that it's incompatible. I've got another card in the phone that I've gone through the process, and it didn't ask to reformat the card. The other card works fine. The 128GB exFAT card worked fine before I flashed CM13, and is what I had the CM13 image on when I flashed it (so it works in recovery). The exFAT card is also read fine by my computer. I understand the implications of the exFAT format, but everything else seems to read it fine. I'm looking for confirmation for the symptoms I'm seeing, and wondering if there's a work around to using the card as is without reformatting it.

I don't like to hop onto other people's topics, but seeing as I too suffer from the same issue as you are, I also want to know if there is a fix that will allow people to use micro SD cards without formatting it in Android Marshmallow as I think it is absolutely stupid for the OS to ask users to format it before using it in Android Marshmallow.
Marshmallow wants to format it to FAT32, which is stupid I agree. Whether a fix will come or not is up to CM - I doubt Google will do anything about it.
I had to backup everything and let the phone reset the SD, it was a Transcend 64GB exFat.
Thanks. I thought that was probably the case, but I wanted verification. Any idea if it supports other formats besides FAT32?
It's not that CM doesn't support exfat - external usb in exfat is recognized and read. But using it as portable storage seems to make it want to format to fat32.
Update: marshmallow converted my sd card to fat32 ((
I was wondering why the speeds were a bit slow...
Well f***... I'm having the same issue. Seems like I'm stuck without ex_sdcard, as when I try to format the storage via android it gets stuck at 20% (cm13 + samsung 64 class10). Fortunately I could re-format the card with a card reader to exFAT and now I can use TWRP to send my previous CM12.1 backup and restore it. Really glad I dumped that backup to my pc
Can anyone confirm if this is a CM13 related issue or a marshmallow one? The former would be great, as there are more chances of getting a "fix" form them than from google.
Thanks a bunch.
I hate to drum up an old thread but I see it's only a few weeks old and never got an answer....
If I'm not mistaken, exFat is not recognized by Google Android natively. Some hardware manufactures (like Samsung) bake exFat support into their version of Android but I understand this is at a cost as they have to pay MS for licensing and MS is keeping a firm hold on it. Since CM is based from Vanilla Android, it too won't have native support for exFat. It will however support Fat32 but that sucks because it is slow and has a 4GB file limitation. I have read that ext4 is mountable with Marshmellow but it is not compatible with Windows natively. So the option then becomes how to get large files onto the extSD card if it is formatted to ext4 if you have a windows machine? This is where I'm at. I'm currently formatting a microsd card to ext4 to try and see if I can still wirelessly transfer directly to my extsd card or if I can transfer to the internal storage and then transfer from internal to external storage within the phone.
I'm sure there is a fix for getting exFat compatibility somewhere though.
I'm running 6.0.1 stock on my Nexus 7 and was able to access my 64GB exFat microSD via OTG using Solid Explorer and it's OTG plugin. Paid app but completely worth all the features.

Yes, but that is as an OTG device, not a portable sd card directly in a slot on the device. Apples and oranges.
I've just met this regression on my SIII, it's Google not coughing up the licensing for exFAT. Perhaps not surprising.
It's going to be fun working with painfully slow FAT32 after 3/4 years without it.

If you are lucky enough to be running a Motorola stock ROM you can set your card as portable storage and your phone will not reformat the card.
Can someone confirm this and will Moto phones support exFAT natively?

From clintonfitch.com, not verified by me: "But there is another feature that Android users have long wanted out of the platform that has come with Marshmallow: Native USB On-the-go (OTG) support. ... it appears that the only devices that this works on with Marshmallow are Nexus devices: Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 9 and Pixel C. I can confirm that I was able to connect a USB drive and a mouse successfully to my Nexus 6 and Nexus 7 while I was equally able to connect both to a colleague who as the Nexus 6P and Nexus 9. " I have not verified this; I use a rooted Marshmallow with stickmount and that works with exFAT 64GB cards formatted on my GoPro.

Try formatting it as FAT in TWRP and booting back.
I confirm Solid Explorer unlocked read and write exFAT USBstick via OTG. Maybe the only solution till now.

i am also having this same sd card issue on resurrection remix -marshmallow v5.6.7 where 128gb exfat card ask for format and erase for both portable and internal storage options whereas old 2gb FAT card works fine

its the portable storage that gives problems
samsung galaxy series with touchwiz based rom support exfat. Samsung baked this support into their roms ,but CM based roms on galaxy devices give problem with exfat cards since exfat file system is not native in vanilla android
When I moved my 128gb card from my Note3 instead of extSdCard it for some weird reason named it 18fa-adfa. It's there a way to rename it. I have Busy box installed, I just need to know the steps to do it. I tried using ES Explorer but got a task failure.
Worst case please tell me how to do a symbolic link.
Thanks.

Use an sd adapter to put it in a pc and rename it there. Or connect phone to a pc in and try to change it in the windows file manager.
That did not work The drive label is not used as the root folder name. Any body else?

Did you try putting the microsd card in an sdcard adapter and inserting into a card reader on the pc? This will show as a drive letter and should allow you to rename or format the microsd card.

That's what I did. Like I said it does not use the label as the folder name.

No way to rename the microSD, it's a new Android 6 feature: it refers to the microSD using some unique ID, not by the label.
But generally there are other ways to access the SD content, for ex. using /mnt/external_sd or similar
Nope, S7E's marshmallow doesn't have those other symlink names unfortunately... Even updating sdcards on the same phone is painful. I have to redo all of my foldersync folder pairs

I have /mnt/ext_sdcard (or something like this) on my LG G3 with 6.0, on my Mate 8 with 6.0, and now waiting today for my new S7E to verify...

Ah I guess it's just S7E's marshmallow. From my post on foldersync's community, seemed like lots of people hated MM's folder structure.
Definitely nothing under /mnt except emulated and the UUID, which really sucks. Perhaps we can all complain?

After having received and configured my new S7E I unfortunately must confirm what you said... in the Samsung's MM there are no friendly names referring to the microSD under /mnt nor under /storage, like in other MM smartphones...
There must be a way to symlnk a name? We need a small app for that. I'm sure rooting is required.
That is the 2nd thing Sammy messed up on, the 2nd is they are defaulting to Always on multi app pop up choosers. It is horrible.

I just put the card in a SD card adaptor and renamed it on Windows.
Works fine on my S7 G935F with encripted SD card.
any update on this? I received my S7E and I hate this MM naming....
Bump.
Same problem here. Some file managers see it as Media Card, some as SDcard, but the majority see it as "random combinations of numbers and letters" that is identifiable to the card otherwise. More annoyingly, some file managers see it as both and treat it as 2 different SD cards each requiring their own permission. Galaxy S7 Verizon using SanDisk 64GB, Samsung 64GB and Samsung 128GB. Same results.
Unique ID Not New

I thought that quote was hilarious! :laugh: I guess everyone in this thread is too young to have ever used DOS or maybe even the Windows command prompt. This "unique ID" has been around for years. It's simply the Volume ID stored in the boot sector. It can be changed easily on NTFS and FAT32 boot records using a disk editor, Sysinternal's VolumeID utility or with the HardDiskSerialNumberChanger program. The problem with exFAT is that there is a checksum stored and if the boot sector is changed, Windows and Android will think the SD card is corrupt. Use Rufus to format it to FAT32 and you'll be able to change the Volume ID to whatever you want.
Volume in drive G is Sony Xperia
Volume Serial Number is 4E4C-8A5E

I'm actually using exFAT, for me there are no chances on Android for the slow proprietary NTFS or the obsolete FAT32...
If I understand well, are you really going to use FAT32 on a 128 GB microSD used to store 4K recordings and videos?

I was just saying that if you want to change the Volume ID, you're going to have to format the card in FAT32. I don't know if any Android phones support NTFS. When I had MBR hard drives, I used to change the Volume ID's on them so that's why I said it can be done on NTFS.
On my Sony Xperia M4 I'm currently using exFAT, but my LG phones only support FAT32, so I did use Rufus to format the 64 GB SDXC cards to FAT32 for them. I don't need to store anything over 4 GB and FAT32 is much more compatible if I have to use the card in other devices, like my pre-Cinavia Blu-ray player. My phone isn't capable of 4K recording and most apps probably don't write files larger than 4 GB since there are still a lot of phones in use that don't support exFAT at all.
In my opinion, it's good that Android 6 supports the Volume ID, especially if you switch out SD cards, because then an app won't accidentally overwrite data on the wrong card.
I've been using exFAT formatted microSD on all my phones since Lollipop cause AFAIK exFAT access should be faster then FAT32.
Even my latest microSD (Lexar microSDXC, 128 GB, 1800x, UHS-II) comes from factory already formatted in exFAT.
Moreover, exFAT is natively compatible with Windows at least since version 8, no special drivers or utilities needed, even exFAT formatting new media is possible within those Windows versions.
So, whenever possible, IMHO is wiser to use exFAT on latest Android versions.
hello all
in fact I don't know what happened to my fat 32 sd card
its formatted itself
and its name changed to another symbols
