Hi
MicroSD uses FAT32 filesystem.
My issue is that I cant transfer movies larger than 4GB to my SDcard and I want to be able to do this. On the internal memory, no problem.
Can I format my external SD in ext2 , will it work with the stock ROM ?
Thanks,
Seb
Format it in exFAT. Won't work with EXT in addition to not being able to read it in Windows
Format it in windows to exfat them it works perfect for files larger than 4 gb

You can use exFAT (supported by SGS3) : it does not have the 4GB file limitation
Thanks !!
exFAT format works fine on my stock rooted S III. I've tired playing a 14Gb video sored on sd card without any problems.

Works just fine on a regular S3 without root
So does exFAT only work on stock roms? Are there any custom CM10 kernels that support it?

Hello, new micro sd card 32gb class 10 i think
What is the best file system to format it?
Thanks!
I' a noob so weight my words but I went with NTFS and everythibg is still ok.
*except my typing
Format it with the original file system of the sdcard, so you surely won't have problems, but if you're using the CustomRom Cyanogenmod it won't work with exFat, cause CM doesn't support it because of licences!
Use the phone to format the card and you should be fine. If you want to select the file system yourself, FAT32 works on 32GB cards and is the most likely to work well.
Fat32 is best for compatibility. ExFat is best for performance

Fat32 has a file size limit of 2^32 bytes (hence the name Fat32) which equivalents 4GB
If you have files (movies, ...) which are larger you need to use another filesystem.
Exfat support is very bad on linux and thus can lead to undesired results including data loss. Go with EXT4 (optimal choice) or NTFS but note that you will not be able to use a cardreader when choosing ext.

Hey guys ,
I have a 64gb SD card formatted to Fat 32 as exfat does not work properly. Unfortunately downloading large files will not work due to the fat32 limits. So my question is can android address NTFS correctly ?
I run CM10 with Siyah Kernel 1.8.
Thanks !

Have you tried using the phone itself to format the sd card? I would suspect it would put ext3/ext4 on it which does not have the fat32 limitations.
The phone would use fat32 aswell as it's made default for the external sd. Also ext3/4 can only be used if you mount the card after every reboot by hand in the terminal/with a startup script => you can't use mtp to move files between pc and phone. I still wait that the cm team apploes the patchs that ext4 will be possible format to be used as on the internal sdcard

Hmm that is a pity as I was hoping to be able to transfer larger files. I was looking into NTFS and using a mount app, but realised I would not be able to use the Backup features in recovery as it may not see the SD card . What a pain.
Actually is there a way to possibly format the SD card 1 partition FAT32 and the other NTFS ? Could the phone (S3) address two separate partitions ?
I've been having this problem and its really ****ing me off. Tried allsorts. Currently using cm10 and tried NTFS mounted with paragon but the fs keeps corrupting and so I have to run chkdsk on it to repair it. Also it doesn't stay mounted. Tried 2 partitions under windows using acronis disk director, the second wouldn't mount under windows or be assigned a drive letter, so I'm guessing that's an SD limitation.
I'm just on fat32 at the minute via guiformat but if I play music from the SDcard it locks up and just stops playing and I have to reboot. Even did this in stock Sammy ROM as exfat. Also tried sd speed increase and tested my read and write speeds. These improved and I got decent speeds so I can't understand why this is happening. Its such a ****ty stupid issue that you just can't play music from a memory card on such a phone with all of these different combinations, its ridiculous.

Recently I started to download torrents with my Samsung Galaxy SIII. But there's a problem, my SD card system format is FAT32 and it has a 4GB limit per single file, but if I format my SD card to NTFS format, my phone won't recognize it. Is there anyway to make my phone recognize the SD card on NTFS format or is there any system format that have a larger maximum file capacity and my phone can recognize it?
Try using exFAT to format your sdcard. It'll work with stock ROMs but not AOSP based ROMs (unless otherwise specified).

what is/are the micro sd file system(s) recognised by OPX?
i inserted a 64G micro sd formatted with exFAT, and it was not recognised by OPX.. (it was recognised by TWRP as "/external_sd")
should i try NTFS then? (but im afraid TWRP might not recognise it then..)
any hint? thx..

Ive allso had exfat and have problems with it, now i have ntfs and it works prefect.
In Oxygen 2.1.2 my experience was that the only filesystem working BOTH in Oxygen, Windows and TWRP was Fat32 formatted in TWRP. I really tried them all (exFat, fat32, NTFS, Ext4, f2fs)
However, after upgrade to Oxygen 2.1.3 I discovered that also exFat works everywhere so I reformatted my 128 GB card to exFat.
yes v2.1.3 added back support to exFAT..
What is correct file path for sdcard? Stock E1005 2.1.3-X using stock file Manager?
I have 64gb sdxc gskill class 10 there is no option to format card on phone. Upon boot "sdcard available click to access".
Shows up in Storage. Saving to sdcard is hot & miss. ie. Moving OpenCamera frm internal to sdcard, shows up Settings>Apps, ON SDCARD tab
But not in file Manager

Sorry to bump a really old thread but I noticed on 3.1.4 ExFat is not supported and the phone asks me to reformat and it goes into FAT32
Anyone else seeing this on 1+X?
Yes I found this rather annoying I ended up just formatting it in end. Lol. There is ways around it but eh.
Hello,
I have a 64 gb memory card which miui formats to fat32 for use.
I cant put files greater than 4gb on my meomory card.
So, does the custom os like lineage os , cdroid or ressurection remix removes this limitation ? Anyway to remove the 4gb file limit?
Format the sd card as NTFS using a PC. All android devices support NTFS sd cards created by a windows pc.

NTFS format doesnt work. Tried and tested!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well that's basically SOL then. Only options would be to bite the bullet and use adoptable storage via adb commands to convert to the internal file system

not able to get you. What is SOL? How to use adb to convert to internal storage?
SOL = s**t outta luck. To force adoptable storage just search here on xda it's a very common topic I'd say
