Hey guys,
I have a little problem with my Archos G9 80.It doesn't read my SDHC Card .
If I put the SDHC card in, the archos just says that I can take it out of it now.
I thought it is because of the SDHC formate ... but I tried all of them (NTFS,FAT32 and exFAT)
Is it an Archos Bug? Or is my SDHC crashed/in wrong formate?
Maybe u can help me .
Some information:
SDHC-Karte:
32GB;High Speed;Class 10;von Lexar;Micro SDHC
Possible formates:
NTFS: 512 Bytes - 64 Kilobytes
FAT32: 8192 Bytes - 64 Kilobytes
exFAT: 2048 Bytes - 32768 Kilobytes
Thanks for helping, I look forward to hearing from you.

Don't work, the message comes directly: The SD-Card can be removed.
Okay, I got it. I had to shut down my archos and start up with it... It can't read it if you put the sd card in if youre in standby or when youre archos is running,...
a little bit stupid... -.-
And the next time please ask in the Gen9 Forum, as you have a completely different hardware and OS then the Gen8.

hi folks,
i have a very big problem with my sandisk 256 mb sd-card. i just installed tomtom navigator 2 on my o2 xda. unfortunally i can not install the navigator maps to the memory card when using maps bigger then 16 mb. i try to install a 64 mb map to a no name 64 mb sd-card and it worked out. when i try to install the same map to the 256 mb san disk card the system ask me to format the card after soft resetting the xda. i need to soft reset my xda because it is not possible to access the files before resetting.
furthermore i tried formatting the 256 mb card using flash format, but the same problem occur after install the files to the card.
are you guys having an idea what is causing the troubleß
thanx for you help.
is that why it happensß

It's a well know problem on SanDisk 256 SD Cards.
I've a 512 MB Panasonic SD card and i had no problem to install TomTom maps
The card is juste a bit slow.

Hmm.
I´ve got also a SanDisk 256MB SD-Card. Until now i didn´t have any problems with it. Tomtom´s running fine, can use it in digital camera, ....

until i tried to use that card for bigger files like the tomtom maps < 16 mb i had no problems also. furthermore it is no problem using the card in my digi cam. i checked everything over and over again to ensure i did no mistake. finally i searched different forums for getting some more information and found out some more folks having the same kind of trouble with sandisk 256mb cards. maybe the cards were just a little faulty but i have no clue how to fix the problem (or at least find out what is causing the trouble).
there is just one thing i saw when formatting both -the sandisk and the no name 64 mb card:
the filesystem on the 64 mb card is as follows:
fat 16, 512 bytes, cluster 1 kb
the filesystem on the 256 mb san disk:
fat16, 512 bytes, cluster 4 kb
i can change the san disks cluster to 8, 16 or higher but not to 1 kb.
could this be the reason - and if - is there a chance to fix it?
thanx for you help,
Duke

Are there any advantages to formating the SD card to FAT32, other than being able to flash a ROM from it? I don't know if I'll ever flash a ROM that way, but I'm about ready to copy a bunch of tunes and install some GPS maps to my 6 GB SanDisk SDHC, and wonder if there would be any advantage(s).

I could be wrong but I thought it was to make the partitions larger then 2 gig. Just like when Windows 95 was in the transition from going from FAT16 to FAT32. FAT16 can see only 2 gig FAT32 can see up to 32gig. I remember having an 8 gig hard drive that had 4 partitions of 2 gig each with FAT16. FAT32 uses smaller clusters (4 KB for memory up to 8 GB), resulting in 10 to 15 percent more efficient use of space. That is all I am aware of. Maybe someone else has some insight.
So does that mean that my 6GB SDHC is already FAT32? If I put it in a card reader on my PC, will properties tell me what it is?

If you are seeing 6 gig on the memory card as one partition then yes it should be in FAT32. I think the PC properties will just say FAT.
my 8 gb was fat32 by default. I think all SDHC cards are fat32. I think i seen an option to format to NTFS. Any benefit over that?

My 2 gig was FAT in the PC, got a 8 gig last weekend and it came FAT32 from Sandisk, as the post above is correct FAT (16) is limited to 2.1 gigs per partition because the File Allocation Table is able to handle only that, but FAT 32 is needed for more than that, and your PC will show that under Properties for the device.

I am not sure that Windows Mobile could even recognize NTFS.
Not even worth messing with

Don't bother as I bet it would not even read or write it, and there would be no advantage anyway as mostly NTFS (Windows NT Filesystem) is mostly for file privilage and security anyway, no speed or capacity help at all.
Pros
1 - Fat32 is compatible with just about any device you would put it in
2 - Uses space more efficiently than Fat
3 - Bootloader can read it
Cons
1 - Has a limit of 2GB filesize.
2 - Not as efficient as NTFS in using space. Will waste space proportional to number of files saved.
Very short list...I'm sure there are some more in both categories.
I keep it Fat32 simply because if I need to trasfer a file from one computer to another (I have an 8GB card) I don't have to worry about compatability issues.
And as someone else said I'm pretty sure NTFS isn't even readable by any phone.
Hi guys,
I'm currently using the TeamDRH build of ICS on my gTablet, and loving it. But during the installation process it asks some questions re size of various areas of the memory, to which I respond with the values used by everybody. But how about some different sizes??
The size of the system area is always set at 256 (MB?). But the internal SD card has lots more space so is there any particular reason this couldn't be set to 512, or even 1024 MB ??
And the card is partitioned to 2048 MB, which I presume is for User apps. But again, it's a large internal SD card (and I don't use the internal for any of *my* files), so is there any reason this couldn't be made say 4096 ?? Or more ??
Would appreciate some guidance here in the best way to configure my system.
Thanks,
RAC

The "/system" partition resides on a built-in 512MB NAND flash chip, so you can't increase its size all that much.

The default size of the "/data" is 2048MB and Android does use it even if you have moved all your apps to the /sdcard partition. And, you can increase or decrease the size of /data quite a bit if you want to.
Hi,
the specs of the Acro S say that maximum SD Card size is 32 GB. Has anyone tried a 64 GB card?

Yes, I did try 64GB MicroSD card on my Acro S. It works fine and great. Haha. For your info I was equipping my Acro S with the ORIGINAL SanDisk 64GB Class10 UHS-1 Micro SDXC MicroSD Card MOBILE ULTRA.

what type of FS youre using, is it exFAT?
also on what rom under you're now..
thanks!

If I remembered correctly, I never used exFAT format. Why don't you try and let me know what's the results?
Now... I've moved to Xperia Z and V. My Acro S... Accidentally dropped into a >2m deep swimming pool and it got waterdamaged! LOL! Was running stock firmware with ROOT as well as CM9.1 by FreeXperia though.
everything always says expandable to 32, I believe its because that's what fat32 support supports as a maximum. but in most cases exfat will actually work they just never state it

No the Acro S does not support exFAT. You will need to reformat the SD card to use in your phone.
Code:
dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/storage/sdcard1/ 59.4G 58.1G 1.4G 32768

Hi everyone, ive already figured this out.
i inserted 64gb card on acro s as exFAT formatter. it says blank sd card and wont mount.
tried formatting under win7 as fat32 it failed,
Solution:
used easeus partition manager and formatted it as FAT32, it is now being recognized by AcroS 58.99GB.
we just need to format it to fat32 for it to be recognized by the device. techincally as long as the file system of the sd card is fat32 it will be recognized by AcroS
(please note on the file size limitation of fat32 file system)
Quote from wiki:
"The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232 − 1) bytes. This limit is a consequence of the file length entry in the directory table and would also affect huge FAT16 partitions with a sufficient sector size.[1] Video applications, DVD images, large databases, and some other software easily exceed this limit."
Thanks everyone for the idea
I have been playing with this idea for some time...

I have no problem with the 64 gb sd card on cm11 4.4.4 (Now using carbonrom 4.4.4)
Edit: it works on all roms that I tried. Also even 5.1.1
In my Note 3, I have installed a 32GB class 10 SD Card. Currently it appears to read ahead at 128 KB, and my internal SD Card appears to read ahead at 256 KB. I downloaded SD Booster and changed them both to 2048 KB read ahead speed. However. if I delete the app or reboot the phone it resets to default settings. Is there a way to set on 2048 KB with out the app?
