yep, and with the new Note Update, it works flawlessly , make sur eto reformat it before hand.
Likewise I am using a SanDisk 64 GB SDXC - no problems after the update and formatting.
So the new update will format it correctly?

Yes, I even took mine out and re-formatted it to make sure.
The update definitely fixed that.

I format my 64GB sdcard with this software 'MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition' and it works.
Yep, it even works without the update if you format it first. Plugged it into my Mac, used Disk Utility to format the card as FAT, then plugged it in. Works great!

Well, the point was that it was Formated by the tablet, which in turn does exFat, not sure if FAT, and ExFat is different, but exFat allows files bigger than 4.7GB
I tried using my 32GB ADATA micro SD formatted to exFAT before the update came out, and the tablet wouldn't take it until I formatted to NTFS. Confirmed exFAT compatibility after update?
Yes, mine works now. But I had to format it in my n7000 first.

exFAT is the format most micro-sd's are sold with. The exFAT format sofar didn't work with official Samsung bootroms, that's why you always needed to reformat. Now it seems Samsung has built exFAT support into the latest update, so you can use a fresh micro-sd straight out of the box.
edit: updated info.
Ok, so it still only reads FAT? Too bad... I would like to be able to put a 6Gb mkv-movie on the card but I guess that's not possible, right?

Yes, the FAT file system only allows up to 4gb files.
You'll wanna format your card to exFAT which allows much larger file sizes.

Can Galaxy Note 10.1 read exFAT formatted cards?
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Ummmm, the posts above indicate they can after the recently released update.
I've yet to see written down in plain english that it can read exFAT. I've only read that it can format 64Gb cards (which might just as well be in regular FAT just like the 5.3" Note).

Yes, if you format the SDXC card in the Note 10.1 - it WILL be formatted to exFAT.
I have done it and posted it here before. When removed and read on a Windows 7 PC it reads as exFAT.

And what if you don't have the Note Update? My first Note got the update, but I didn't like the changes in S-Note. I ended up returning that one for a problem with power button and got a new one (it's nice having a Frys right down the street that stocks 32GB grey ones!). My new one does not have the Update and when I checked for updates, it did not find it. I have read posts that implied that the Update was pulled - which is just as well, since I didn't like some of the updates.
So, anyway, for those of that don't have the Update and don't want to install it anyway, is there a way to get a 64GB card to work that will allow files >4GB and will work in a Note that doesn't have the Update?

Honestly TRWP hasn't been very stable on the Note II imo and experience, Try CWM recovery and see if it works. I used an adapter, plugged it into my pc and when I chose to format I had the option for fat32, I am on Windows 7, 64 bit.

For the life of me I can't get it to work. I have TWRP version 2.3.3.2, I just installed it straight from Goo Manager (as suggested on TWRP's website today). I have a 64gb Sandisk card, Class 10, exFAT (because I require to record LONG videos that go over the 4gb limit).
TWRP recovery can't see my external SD card, it won't mount it at all.

SOLVED!! Just that fast! Thank GOD.
So here's what happened to me - I went to TWRP's website and THEY suggested on their site to install TWRP using Goo Manager because it was the "preferred" method. I obeyed. No dice. TWRP did install and I was able to successfully get the version that was right for my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 phone, but the only thing that was wrong was that I could not mount my SD card in TWRP recovery.
Right on that same page on TWRP's site where they suggested to use Goo Manager, right on the same page, they had other options for installing TWRP, ODIN being one of them - and I loooove me some ODIN. So I went that route and decided to install TWRP through ODIN on top of the TWRP that I already had.
VOILA! ......as soon as I booted into TWRP I could see that my SD card was mounted PERFECTLY. exFAT, micro sdxc card, SanDisk, Class 10, no issue.
The fact that it's now mounted will permit me to test if I can make a backup straight to the card and restore from it, which is what I wanted to achieve this whole time.
For those that installed TWRP just fine and it SEEMS like it installed just fine and you ARE ABLE to make a successful backup to the internal SD card....that doesn't necessarily mean it was a good install especially if you can't mount your external SD card. Just install it again through ODIN and call it a day.
Cheers, my brethren.

Btw, I have been using a 64GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 for over 6 months with no issues. All my music, videos, ROMs backups etc are stored on the card. It gets heavy usage.. the biggest common denominator of the thread appears too be that the size of the card is the main issue and not the brand. 32GB cards are having the most problems.

Hard to say when you didn’t tell us what kind of SD card it is, what size, and how long you have had it. You need to give more information.
If it is a 64 GB card, it is because android natively does not support exFAT file systems for storage. Your issue is that the format is not compatible. In this case, flash perseus kernel found in the original android development section. Problem solved.
If it is an SD card of 32 GB or less, the issue is likely that you need to just format it. In this case just find an adapter to plug it into your PC, when the little window pops up asking you what you want to do “open folder to view files etc etc” all that… just close that window. Open some other folder (doesn’t matter which one) and on the left side you will see the drive shown. It will probably show up as F: or something… maybe G: … maybe Z:… who knows… but it will NOT be C:… C is your computer drive, don’t touch that.
Find the storage device on the left side, RIGHT click on it, and select “format”….
UNCHECK the “quick format option”…
For the file system select “FAT32” and for the cluster size select 32kb… (default is 16, but 32 is better and will provide better performance.)
Start the formatting. It will take a while… so go grab some lunch. If that doesn’t solve the issue then I don’t know what to tell you without more information but my guess after that would be that you have had the card for a while and it simply needs to be replaced.
What size card is it, what class, and who makes it?

I have scandisk class 10 SD card 64 GB.
its formatted using the note 8 device (exFAT).
Whenever I try to download a file or copy a file in note 8 to the SD. It fails and reboots my device. knowing that reading from the SD is perfect. I can play music and movies from SD with no issues.
the only way I can transfer files to the SD if I connect the SD to the PC directly.
I am not sure if this is an issue with Note 8 or SD. please help!

I'm afraid nothing beyond painfully obvious ones - trying with another similar card, trying the card on any other device supporting exfat (if ok, this would provide definitive proof that card is ok), trying on freshly installed latest ROM, trying with the same card formatted in fat32.

It seems like this is the last resort. I will reformat my note 8 and try again. I also forgot to mention, that few weeks ago I was able to transfer one 800 mb file but this stopped happening. So it seems like there is not enough memory to transfer although I tried clearing the memory.
I will let you know if this reformatting the note 8 will fix the problem.

You may be better off posting this in the thread of the roms you're trying to install.

I've had this problem multiple times with multiple Samsung phones. At this point, I'm pretty sure it's the hardware of the phone, not your SD card, ROM, or anything else. I've went through many SD cards thinking they were defective when they were not.

What you could try (even though I don't know how Android can handle this) is to create two partitions with each 32gb on your 64gb sdcard and see whether this works or not. Other than that I don't have too many ideas left :/

you can either do it with windows (Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions > Disk Management) or with a tool like paragon partition manager (isn't free so you'd have to search for a freeware alternative) and there you shrink your 64gb fat 32 partition to a 32gb fat32 partition and create a new partition on the remaining 32gb of unallocated space also with fat32.
your pc will recognize your sdcard as if there were two. Now that i think of it, I really am not sure whether android will recognize your 64gb or better both 32gb partitions on your phone or if Android will say that you sdcard is corrupted.
If you do that and android suggests to format your sdcard DON'T DO IT ON ANDROID. I got myself some fried sdcards there. So if it doesn't work out you can delete one of the 32gb partitions and enlarge the other again to 64gb but do that from your pc.
You'll need a card reader or usb adapter or something. It won't work with the sdcard inserted in your phone as Android now uses mtp rather than ums and you can't perform those tasks from windows with mtp.

your pc will recognize your sdcard as if there were two. Now that i think of it, I really am not sure whether android will recognize your 64gb or better both 32gb partitions on your phone or if Android will say that you sdcard is corrupted.
If you do that and android suggests to format your sdcard DON'T DO IT ON ANDROID. I got myself some fried sdcards there. So if it doesn't work out you can delete one of the 32gb partitions and enlarge the other again to 64gb but do that from your pc.
You'll need a card reader or usb adapter or something. It won't work with the sdcard inserted in your phone as Android now uses mtp rather than ums and you can't perform those tasks from windows with mtp.

Hmm ill give it a try later. Right now im guessing that my recovery does not support the sdcard. Im currently on CWM TOUCH 6.0.3.1. And looking for a rom with good battery life.
Guys I truly don't mean to be a stick in the mud about this, but you can search XDA and Google about this issue. A lot of people are having this exact same issue. That's why I said a 64 may or may not work with other brands, but the Samsung cards seem to always work like their suppose to (given they aren't defective). There are a few other threads about this on the forums as well. If you do by chance get it working please do share, and perhaps PM a mod and see if you can post a guide on it.
Note 2 has problems with some 64Gb card due to (here: my speculation) bad power supply and stabilization.
Kingston 64/10 makes my Note 2 unhappy.
Sandisk 64/U1 more or less stable with FAT32 but makes instability issues with exFAT.
Sandisk 32/10 and Kingston 32/10 are fully OK with FAT32.

I use saber kernel, I'm also n7105.
I presume you didn't just get a bad download of the rom, did you check it with md5?
I'm just throwing suggestions out there btw.

Hmm i also on saber kernel. Im guessing its because my note 2 is not happy with 64GB sdcards. Maybe i should get a 32 one.

I have the Tab pro 12.2 KK4.4.2 and purchased a patriot Micro SDXC 64 GB. My question is similar to other posts and I will try the posted solutions when someone can confirm the validity of the SDcard. Samsung specs for the Tab(SM-T900) state support for micro SDHC up to 64 GB. All of the reading I have done shows that the largest SDHC cards is 32GB and anything larger is a SDXC. So is my64GB SDXC card actually supported in my device? I have not been able to write MP3 files from my PC to the card or any other files with any success. Put I am able to do it fine on a smaller 16GB SDHC card. Can this version SM-T900ZKAXAC be rooted?
Thanks

I contacted Samsung and they are going to escalate the issue up the chain. It seems as though the tablet only supports Fat32 file system, while SDXC cards are only can only be formatted using exFat or NTFS. That being said I tried formatting my card with NTFS in hopes it might allow Fat32 after but it wouldn't format using NTFS.
Is no one else having this issue, as I have not seen 1 other post regarding this particular problem?

Mossey, do you happen to have a Windows computer?
plug the sd into a different phone if you can and connect as external. Click Start->My computer->right click and format to Fat32. I do this all the time

I thought for second you had the solution. I have another tablet and tried reformatting using it. I had the stick showing fat32 file system but it was 32gb vs 64gb. But the tablet recognized it initially, so l reformatted using the tab, but now the tablet looses the sd after it writes a few files to sd. Then if I try to view files on the tab, I get a message that the ext sd card may not be readable.

Hm interesting, it seems like it might be a permissions issue.
Can you try doing this on a device that runs something before 4.4.2? Kitkat is known to cause lots of problems with SDcards
hope you find the solution.

Again- Thanks. I thought it odd as well and it didn't add up. Although the SD card was working OK in my new Sony camera I decided to return it to C.C. for an exchange, voila problem solved. This still tells me that Samsung Technical support is useless. Everyone spent a lot of time trying to solve this issue. I still am finding odd things happening with Kies but I have found some work a rounds.
