Hello I'm quite new to andriods and the process of rooting and flashing, but I've done alot of research. I have quite a lot of issues with my 64gb microsd. Essentially what i wanted to do was to put apps and files such as movies/shows into it. I tried using app2sd, link2sd etc... it doesn't work. Now putting aside that I don't want to put apps on my sd card anymore, I tried just putting the movies/shows into my microsd. The micro sd card tends to get corrupted or some files don't show that I've moved from my computer to my microsd. It sometimes even gets corrupted that both the tablet and the computer will not be able to read it. I have tried to partition it using all of the types (ex4, 3, 2, FAT32 etc..) Now does anyone have a clue on how to make it so I can solve my issue? ( I just want to put movies, videos into it)
P.S. I've also tried two different brands of micro sd cards. (both 64gb)

Try a 32G one or even smaller and I bet it will work

Have you tried to format the card directly from the tablet storage settings? Also, have you tried to format it as exFat or vFat? (Theriugh linux or gparted live disk). The last option would be finding a person that has a tab/phone that supports 64gb cards and have them try to format it, unmount, and stuff it in your tab and try it...

I've tried to format using the tablet directly, and using my phone (note II) to do that. After it formats and i put the stuff in, the files either get corrupted or the sd card. I am unmounting the sd card correctly so it's not that issue. My other try that I'm going to do is try to format it with an apple computer or linux.
i also have problem with my 32gb microsd, if i insert it on my tab 3 7.0 i can't put any files to it. tried formatting it on my tab but still problem exist. also i've inserted the card on my microsd card reader and on my other devices and it's working fine. when i insert it back on my tab the filenames on the sdcard are change with some weird symbols. now i'm using a 2gb and working on my tab. don't know which of the two (32gb card or my tab) has the problem..

I am having problems with my SD card. I used to have a mytouch, and I bought a Sandisk 4GB back then. When I got the S2 back in Decemeber 2011, all i did was format the micro card to work. The S2 shows that its there under Storage, but i have always have difficulties actually using it. You will see that it has some used into it. I can only reach it through USB connection and transfer file that way. However, whenever I use any programs which can be install under SD card, it will not do so.
As you will noticed below i have a problem call App 2 SD Pro, which it will only show both memories with my phone, Storage and USB, which is the same phone memory. By no means, its finding the Micro SD card. Can anyone tell me why is this? This phone is not rooted and i have only 2.3.6.
Thank you in advance.
If you look through your list of folders under /sdcard, your micro sd is the 'external_sd" folder.
Yes that is true. Is under External SD card. My question is, why are some programs, mostly all, having difficulties to find it? and can i have all for example game files, be saved onto my "external SD Card"?
What is the speed of your sd card?
class 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10?

How would i know that? all i can see on the card is, Sandisk 2 in circle, 4GB SDHC micro. Where else can i check? which class is best?
You have a class 2. It has been my experience that when you move an app to sd card, on this phone it uses the internal "USB" storage.
So what can i do to do the opposite? Meaning, using the actual SD card instead of the internal.

I'm having the same issue too.... I know what you mean.... I try to back up my phone but it won't... Help please
Hi folks,
I recently got a 64 GB microsd card ( class 4) for my galaxy note 10.1 SM-P601 ( build:JSS15J.P601XXUBMJ9,Baseband601DDUBMJ1).
This card works fine when I use it on my laptop but I am unable to write it on the tablet.I am able to read the data though.
Below is the list of what I have already tried and failed.
1)I have tried rebooting,remounting reinserting
2) As the default format was exFAT I reformatted it into fat32 using fat32 formatter.
3) I tried partitioning the card on laptop into 2 32gb partitions and then using it on the tablet.
4) I have tried SD card accelerators from Play store.
Once I mount the sdcard it shows TOTAL SPACE: 62.5 GB in Settings->General->Storage.When ever I try to write the card it somewhat gets unmounted and shows TOTAL SPACE :0.0 bytes.
Please suggest a solution to make it work

Have you formated it in the GN 2014?
Also, I wouldn't use a Class 4.. Just my opinion.
Also, they have some bad 64gb cards out there.. I would get a name brand 64gb class 10 from BestBuy, Staples, etc.. Format it GN 2014. If everything works, then the problem was the sd card.
I have a Sandisk Ultra 64gb Class 10 in my GN 2014 and my Note 3.. both work perfectly.
Hi gurus,
The Idea is to make the the 64 gb card (that working fine on my laptop) work on my note 10.1.
Please help .
What could be the possible reason.

As you have tried several things, can you please tell us exactly what your situation is now so we can help you.
If the card is a used one, it may have been formatted as FAT32, to work in a non-Sdxc compatible device. The Sdxc capable note may boycott the card because of violation of the specs, so reformat it to exFat.
It was similar with 4GB SD cards, which shall not exist by spec, but worked fine in Sd devices, not in Sdhc ones.
Experiencing the same

Hi maainux, I'm experiencing the same problem here, have you found any solution?
Mine is a SM-P601 / Android 4.3 / Build: JSS15J.P601UBUBMJ4 / Baseband: P601UBUBMJ1 (Fully Stock)
I tried 3 64gb micro sd card: SanDisk Ultra, Samsung, and a generic one. For both 3 the same results, as following:
1 - If I let the tablet format the card (exFAT), it can be mounted but gets suddenly unmounted when I try to write on it and shows TOTAL SPACE :0.0 bytes just like yours. I installed BTSync, when I tried to configure the sync on the tabled by selecting the sd card as the destination folder for the files, the app give a message saying it don't have permission to access that folder and gets unmounted. Tried rebooting, remounting, reinserting, and nothing change.
2 - If I format to fat32 as a logical partition using Minitool Partition Wizard, I get the same behavior as above description.
3 - If I format to fat32 as a primary partition using Minitool Partition Wizard, I can create folders but can't delete them, when I try to delete via "My Files" it says "deletion failed". I tried ES File Explorer, get the same. I was able to configure BTSync, it can copy the files from my PC folder, but when I delete some file in the PC it can't be deleted on the tablet and the BTSync app shows a message stating it can't identify the destination folder on the tablet.
I have some micro sd cards laying around, tried SanDisk 32gb, 16gb and 8gb, both 3 worked flawlessly on the tablet. I noticed the tablet format any <32gb card as fat32, and the 64gb as exFat, this make me think that was related to file system format, but it's not. Seems something related to permissions, like the KitKat 4.4 guys are experiencing. The point is I'm completely newbie on Android and have ZERO knowledge on Linux/Unix, so I have no Idea on how to solve this.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys
have you found any solution?
Thanks
Now I've been through, I think, 5 or 6 different 64 gb cards only to have each one corrupted or simply not work right. I always get to the point where I'm copying my music to the card when after a few hours, BAM, everything is gone. I've tried different ways, different types of cards and different hardware to get these cards to work but nothing I seem to do works.
Does anyone know of a foolproof way of getting a 64gb card to work with a T999?
i have a sandisk 64gb formatted as fat32 and its been working fine for 2 years

Did you have any problems getting a 64gb card working prior to this one, did you do anything special for it to work?
Up until the 64gb card, I would pop in a card, transfer everything form my old card and be on my merry way. this is the first time I ran into any problems.
i did have some issues at first when the card was formatted extfat
Are you using cm or touchwiz? And how is the SD card formatted? I just use mine on exFAT with touchwiz and have had 0 problems with both my S3 and S4
I got my new 64gb card. Formatted it to FAT32 using windows 8. Transferred all my music and stuff over to it using win 8. Double checked to make sure everything was there. Put it in my phone and mounted it using CWM and bam, music only goes up to B. Everything else was gone. WTF?
Why does this keep happening. I've tried all different types of cards (except Sandisk for some reason), tried it on both touchwiz and CM (which I'm using now), different ways of formatting (through phone and through the computer. Used Exfat and Fat32), different ways of transferring the data and something always happens when I put it in the phone. Either it destroys the card or some of the data is missing. At least the card still works.
Have you tried copying it to your card while plugged in? Try only copying small chunks at a time.
If youre currently on cm though it really doesnt surprise me that you might be having problems.

My external card which I was hoping to use for Google music storage refuses to stay mounted . I also have to reformat several times per week to even use it. I've got two Samsung 64Gb cards and they both do the same thing. They work fine in my laptop!

I had the same problem with my phone. I found the problem was that they were exFAT and not FAT32. Changing this is hard because most software doesn't reformat anything bigger than 32 GB. If you're rooted, "AParted ( Sd card Partition )" by sylkat was able to reformat the SD card and fix the problem. It changed mine to FAT32 and my LG G3 no longer needed to format it.
There are special programs for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 that can do this as well, but I didn't do this so I cannot help you. I will tell you that'll you'll need to hook up your SD to your computer via reader, card slot, or any other way you're able to connect it. If you're not rooted do a quick google search to format it via computer.
Hope this helps!
I have a freshly formatted 32 gb micro SD card (fat32) that I put in my Freshly rooted phone using Bliss Pop Rom. When I boot up my phone, go to storage and mount the micro SD, it automatically says that it now has 15bgb on it. Using ES file explorer I examine the contents of the card and there is nothing on it but yet it reads as 15gb left. What's worse is that when I try to copy or move a file to it, a message saying not enough space please free up space to proceed. I Googled the crap out of this issue. No luck. Please help. I use a lot of storage and the SD card is important to me.
Try on stock rom. If it works then stay on stock. Can't stress this enough. CM is to play around with but not as a daily driver. CM is garbage

Just to follow up. . I formatted the card on a PC using a an SD card adapter. After that I had the problem. I researched it and apparently that can mess up, corrupt micro SD cards. So I popped the same micro SD card in my Galaxy s5 and formatted it and the tried it in my LG G3 and it mounted and now works great.
Your microSD card isn't formatted properly

SD cards and microSD cards should not be formatted by the Windows, Apple, or other default program. If you're running Windows, download and install SDFormatter. SD cards have special hidden files that are deleted by the Windows regular formatter. SDFormatter handles the removable media properly.
If you are going to use the SD or mSD card in a particular device, you should >always< format the card in that device before using it.
Yes, what the previous poster said... I wish you could have asked before you did it. Windows is bad at formatting for anything other than NTFS and so is Mac. If you have to format at all, use TWRP. But me personally I recommend to never ever format. I have always managed to turn them into RAW due to multiple formatting because like ivanabq said, Windows just deleted those files. These files are used by Android to read where everything is and if they are gone, it doesn't know how to read the card anymore. Good luck. Hope you get the space back.
Also could you tell us the brand of your microSD? Sometimes the knockoff brands will advertise more space and once you format it, it reveals that it is far less. You might be able to get a full refund knockoff or not.
