I was wondering what format can the note 3 use. Can it use exfat or fat32. I am using a 64gb SD card right now and forgot what it is formatted to but I think it's fat32. Can it use exfat because one of the tormenting apps gave me trouble when I tried to download a 15gb file. I emailed the developer and he said it might be because my SD card is formatted and doesn't allow big files.

From what I can recall cwm only recognizes fat 32. You can format your sd card to fat 32 using a specific windows app. It's called guiformat.

You can also use Easus Partition Manager.
I've been using it for years. It's what I used to format my own 64GB MicroSD in Windows to Fat32.
It's free btw

Im using twrp recovery and I have a 64gb micro sd card. Original format.
Whenever I make recoveries, it will never save to externsd... only internal...
Anyway of fixing this?

By default, 64 Gig card is formatted in exFAT which is not currently supported. I had the same issue earlier.
Connect your card via Card reader to a computer and format it as FAT32. It should work. Search for "fat32format.exe". This should easily format the 64G card without any issues.
can someone please let me know if the samsung galaxy 3 micro sd card can be formatted to something other than fat32 and if so what are the formats that are available and other question is if its dependent on the rom currently flashed to the device? thank u sorry if this has been answered before
I believe android requires fat32, but you can repartition the card to have an ext4 partition along with the normal fat32 partition. I've only seen that used for apps2sd use though.
I have a 64GB card in my phone that is formatted exFAT. It works fine except that it can not be seen be recovery. I also had to download an update for my old win xp machine to read the card.

I have a32gb exsdcard... has never worked great. .. lately been saving pics to there from cam and often the card just changed the images, they get corrupt and now it doesn't store backups from twrp correctly and us getting really annoying. Can someone tell me a good sdcard they haven't had any problems with?

What filesystem is it formatted as? And what version android are you running?
If you are running a cm based Rom and have your card formatted as ntsf or exfat, you will be having compatibility issues... I've never had much luck getting either of those file systems working with cm, even with the patches/fixes.
Try backing up your data from the sd and format in fat32 and see how it performs. You need a secondary program to format fat32, I use eas partition master, there is a free home version that you can get from their website.
Edit* here's a link to their site http://www.easeus.com

Using tw, intergalactic. Formatted to exfat. Always had problems with the big SD cards. So if I formatted it to exfat on my computer when I first got it, ran into problems and formatted it on my phone what file format does that do? Cause last night I formatted it on my phone because I'm in Ireland for a few weeks and don't have my computer.

I have (3) 64gb micro sd cards and (2) 32gb micro sd cards all formatted in fat32 and I don't have issues with any of them. The only time I've ever had issue is with my 64gb cards when I had them in exfat and then switched my tablets to aokp... that's when I found out that cm doesn't like exfat and ntfs. Since then, I've stuck with fat32 without issue.
I'm not sure what format android defaults to... though I believe it's exfat, whatever it is, it should be the most compatible considering it chooses that format. All my cards 32gb cards are Kingston and I believe my 64gb cards are SanDisk... it's possible that you have a bad card... a tw room shouldn't have any issue with exfat, only cm because they don't have the licensing for the format for official support.

I like to know which ROM allows me to read and copy large video files (larger than 4 GB) to and from my microsd card that is formatted in exfat ?
Are you sure it's exfat? I think it should work. I'd try reformatting it with Windows.
