I have a 16 Gb sd card and have problems restarting
If you have formatted in fat16 not fat32 you will only see 3.5gb

I think you might have not formated the whole sdcard or formated in fat16
Not happy...
Today I tried my SanDisk 64gb sdxc card in my note 10.1... I've been using it in my 5.3" galaxy note for months. It mounted and read just fine in the Note 10.1, so I copied all the data off it, planning to use a 32gb card in my other note.
After I copied the data, I put the card back in the Note 10.1, and it said "blank card or unsupported file system"
To cut a long story short, the card is now corrupted and can't be formatted in either windows or the original Note.
So, if you're using this card in your original Note, DON'T put it in the 10.1!

Format it with FAT 32.
Ditto: format with FAT32, most SDXC cards are formatted ExFAT and that's not compatible with the Note 10.1. Use the tablet or a third party utility to format if you're a Windows user since Win7 wants to format using ExFat rather than FAT32 (Mac OS X can format large cards in FAT32). Drawbacks? FAT32 only supports individual file sizes up to 4 gigs per file.
I've tried formatting it, it's toasted. Windows disk manager says it's 30.6gb, but won't format it because it says it's write protected... Neither of my notes will format it, they both say it's blank, and when I try to format they say it's currently being checked... I even tried SD Formatter from www.sdcard.org, and it says the card is write protected...

this may sound kind of dumb, but if you use an SD card adaptor for your micro SD, did you check the lock slider on your SD hard? i was not able to format my microSD card on my note and was having the same issues with the write protect on my computer but i realized later on that my lock slider kept being pushed into the lock position whenever i slide my card into my reader. so, i unlocked it and carefully slid my card into my reader to make sure it doesn't lock. i formatted my card to fat32 on my computer using EASEUS Partition Master (http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm). it's easy to use and free. works great

I did the same, don't forget to set the cluster size to 32 for a 64gb card. Works great.

Yes, I've tried it in 2 different card readers. I just tried EASEUS Partition Master and it can't do anything with the card either, the system reports the card as 30.6MB unallocated.

I used the microSD to SD converter which came with my Sandisk and plug it directly into the notebook's SD slot.
I would say try another computer (or notebook).
After the latest update, the Note 10.1 reads and formats exfat SD chips just fine.
Ooooooo! THX just ordered one..

Ahhhhh, sorry, didn't know that ........ Hope You can save the card somehow .......
Good Luck
There have been a number of reports of broken 64gb cards that will only format to 30.6gb, check this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/550328-64gb-cards.htmldiscussion.
I think that 30.6gb is what you normally would get from a 32gb card.

I've had same problem with sdxc but after firmware update SD works ok.
i've not had a problem with my sandisk 64gb sdxc card
I tosted a mounth ago my first 64GB SDXC the same day because I was not aware of what I should use and do to make it compatible with most devices.
First of all, the card is SDXC with exFAT, for that you HAVE to use an adapter compatible for that card, like Mobilelite 3G.
I put that card in my old card reader and after try to copy into the card a file ISO of 6GB the card crashed.
After that the card was not recognized.
Second mistake, I used not appropriate Software to format the card, from CMD in W7, Gparted Live, to many other.
You HAVE to use specific tools like FAT32Format or MiniTool Partition because this tools are made to do not delete the "Protected Area" which is needed to let working the card.
so,
step 1; Open the Blister Package and put the card into compatible SDXC Card Reader.
step 2; Format with FAT32 Format.
After that the card will work fantastically with ANY device and no complain at all.
Now I got my second 64GB SDXC formatter in Fat32 and my OLD HTC Touch Diamond 2 see the card with full capacity of 60GB!
Amazing! Right?
If its a new card you should have a warranty get it replaced.
I had a similar proble with a 16 gb card on my optimux 2x and from Sandisk itself. When I inserted it recognized and then the card was fried fortunately it was replaced by the seller in couple of days I still have the old card as they did not bother to take it back.
That time i thought it was a fake

Ok, so in this case you can do this way;
step 1; Open the Blister Package and put the card into compatible SDXC Card Reader.
step 2; Use h2testw to test the card if it's fake.
step 3; when you know is good format with the right tool.
They do not bother you to take the card back? Strange? And the second one is good?
Finally!!! Those who use 64GB or bigger cards can use exFAT. I can confirm it works as I'm using it right now. No more 4,5GB file size limit! (tested writing 6,5GB mkv video to the card, worked without any issues) Writing big files to the card is about 10-11MB/s (when I was using fat32 it was 4-5MB/s). It's a shame that it doesn't work in CWM though (can't mount - gives me error). But I think devs will come up with solution for this quickly. At least Phil in his thread about Touch CWM said that he will provide fix when official LS7 will be released. So now you know and you can enjoy!
SMALL UPDATE:
If SGN says that your card is broken and needs formating than you should let it format the card. Mine was formated in Windows with SDFormatter application and still SGN gave me message that I need to format the card. After format in SGN it works as it should.
SMALL UPDATE2:
If you decide to buy a 64GB or bigger card for your SGN it would mean that it almost certainly would be SDXC micro exFAT formatted. In specification there is only said that card readers even if they are compatible with SDHC, might not be compatible with SDXC cards. And that would have been ok, but in my case my old SDHC compatible Imono card reader was destroying my SDXC cards! Who would have suspect it? It happened 3 times and I was able to use my card after I bought a new card reader certified for SDXC and whole operation of exchanging broken cards took almost 2,5 months! So be careful where you put you 60 dollar card into! Old reader might read the card properly but it can damage while writing stuff to it.
It's not really that important if you plan on using your card only with SGN. At least I don't have any issues with it now. But then there wasn't JB for SGN and so I was trying to use NTFS and so I needed a card reader.
waow very nice news thank you
So happy about this wait for the official update to come!
best news i heard today. thanks.
- post from SGN.
Does this mean we can use files larger than 4gb?
Well, it should. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT states that exFAT should be able to support file size of 16 Exibyte

can i formate my internal SD to exfat??
will it work.. ??
I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it..
I didn't try that, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible, as exFAT doesn't come from Google and it's not open standard (I think Microsoft is selling liceneses for this). Even though Android on diffrent brands of smartphones is modyfied here and there to accomodate the devices and enhance user experience it's still Android and I've never heard that android is supporting exFAT. Even if what I say is wrong (I'm still half noobish so it's possible ) there would be no real benefit from using exFAT on internal sdcard (well apart from "unlimited" file size - like it would matter on 11GB of free space anyway ) as the system was designed for hotswapping/external devices and we have internal sdcard which can't be removed.
What's more I have better writing speeds on my internal card (12MB/s) than on external 64GB exFAT (max 10-11MB/s). I don't really understand what you mean by "I dont need SD card for my use.. Just need 1gb of the total space in it." You think that beacuse of exFAT you will have 1GB more space on your internal sdcard?
It said mine was broken,bla,bla,..reformatted, then week later said same thing!
Don't want to wipe valuable stuff or take it out all the time to back up
Sent from the man hiding in your attic......
I don't really understand what you're trying to get across here? If you put a 32GB+ exFAT format in your SGN, it will tell you the card is corrupt and ask you to format it (which you should do and which you also mention in your update), which will change it to FAT32 format, so you lose the exFAT format.
Am I missing something here?
Today received sandisk 64 gb sdxc. It was formatted exFat out of the box. I copied all data from old ed to new one. All work fine except clockwork. Clockwork can't mount exFat. Installed rom: Ultimate N7000 xxls7 v4. Kernel: Phil's v3.5
Guys,
The inbuild storage space is less for me. I have a 16GB class 4 sd card which is also full and i need more space. I am planning to buy a 64 GB Class 10 microsd card. Will note support the 64GB class 10 microsd card?
The post above yours sais it does.

I'm sorry but who needs 4+ gb files on their phone?
Just format your 64gb card using this tool! Regular windows fat32 format is capped at 32gb, but this tool will allow you to format the whole 64gb. This way you can have both 64gb storage and the card recognized by custome recovieries. Works great on my Note2 and S3.
Hi everyone,
First post here, but I have been reading many threads for the past months and I thank everyone for their great help. I have a problem that I can't fix on my own. I have a Team 64GB MicroSDXC Flash Card Model. I use tunesync to synchronize all my itunes music. I have all my titanium backups on my sd card and a few photos. i Have 26.75 GB available but my phone cannot write more on the SD without Freezing and rebooting constantly... It is rooted but I have a stock ROM, and my SD card is format exfat.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry it didn't work.
I have been using 32GB micro SD card in my galaxy S4 with 0 problem so far. Then I bought a Samsung 64 GB micro SD card and did format it to fat32. It stopped working after one day. I removed the old partition and format it again, only 15 out of 64 GM became available. I had a similar problem with another 64 GB micro SD card a month ago.
My personal feeling is that android 4.2.2 does not like 64 GB card regardless of the format type.......
I will continue to use my 32 GB card until getting a new phone with 32 GB internal storage.

Thank you for your answer. Did you try format your Samsung SD to EXFAT? I feel like my Micro SD is fried and is on its last run being write protected. I requested an RMA from Team Group.
here is what I have been told after I orders a 64 gig Sd card "Fat32 has a max size of 32GB. So the SD card maybe in NTFS. Just check the file system with a PC. Maybe the 2014 edition can actually read & write. I know my A500 will accept 64GB cards. Haven't tried it on the note."
Is this true and what do I do?

Fat32 will work, even up to 64gb and beyond. The issue you will have is trying to save single files larger than 4gb due to size limitations.
Now if you don't require this (ie hd movie rips) then you'll be fine. If you will be using large files then format the card to exfat.
