normally it supports fat and ext filesystems but if you want to connect ntfs devices you have to root your phone first then install ntfs mounter.
**** be carefull if you root your phone ,OTA updates wont install anymore which i am stuck between these two and i chose not to root the phone
another solution is that you convert the external hard filesystem to EXT and connect it to phone

Hi all !!
As i know, Xperia S has a build-in memory. I had unlock bootloader and install the ka room. In this room has a SD card mount feature.
Using this app to connect my phone to PC, my PC will recognize my phone as a USB.
The problem is i can not copy any file more than 4GB to my phone. Because of the partition is as FAT32, not NTFS.
So how can i copy a large file (more than 4GB) to my phone ????
You'll have to reformat the partition or split the file.
It's a known limitation of FAT32.
Why do you need a thread for this?
You can try format to NTFS, but your device can become buggy
Use a external hdd that is formatted in ntfs! With a usb otg (on the go) adapter ofc...

err.. i dont think the phone cant read ntfs (YET )
i've to make two partitions in my 16 gB UFD, so the phone can recognize it. i think the ability to read ntfs partition is done in the kernel, and none of the kernel for SXS done this (YET )
so: use hjsplit (or any archiver) if it's only for storage... or re-encode it if it's a video player.
hey after flashing cm10.1, I cannot able to detect my usb drive. It's neither shown in sdcard/0/extStorages, nor in ESExplorer usb drive after granting super user permissions. I could able to connect my tab to pc using mtp but usb is a no go. Thanks in advance...

I got it....Actually its my mistake... I didnt check my usb is in ntfs format.... So I converted into Fat and I got it...
By the way is there any method to connect the usb drive with ntfs forrnat.. if it does then I hope we can connect our external hard disk too... that would be great...

for ntfs filesystem, maybe you need tools like paragon ntfs or ntfs mounter.
if you need storage for files files greater than 4go, you could also use ext4 file system which are usable with windows PC.
thanks

Hello, I am having a problem getting my galaxy tab 10.1 to recognize a usb flash drive I have connected via an adapter. I know it works because it detected a wireless mouse I connected to it, and it shows up when I use dmesg or lsusb in the terminal. The thing is that none of the file explorers I've used (Es, Astro) are able to detect the files I have on it. The usb drive is formatted to fat32; would it be more likely to detect it if I formatted it to ext3 or ext4?
Maybe you need to use this?

Thanks so much for showing me that! I went through at lest five other apps that didn't work before trying this. :victory:
Hi there.
I think that all android devices support fat32 filesystem, the problems its the storage limitation of 4gb max per file in the sdcard.
I been trying to avoid the limitation of 4gb in all my android devices with this results, giving using different filesystems on my sdcard (ext2, ext3, exfat, ntfs...).
Galaxy s3: supports fat32 and exfat
Chinese tablet aoson m7: Suppots fat32 and ntfs
Chinese phone Lenono A760: Suppots only fat32.
Andoid its based on linux, but none of my devices recognice the sdcard with ext2 or ext3 formats.
Also I don't understand why only the chinese tablet supports NTFS. It's because they paid to microsoft so they can use that filesystem?
How it's possible that any device supports a free filesystem like ext3???
I think that I will get rid of the lenovo a760...I need to use files larger than 4gb.
thank you
Looks like you could root it and enable USB OTG support for a little pen drive or something of that sort. How often are you really going to need that many files bigger than 4 GB on your phone?

To mount ext partitions automatically, I think you also have to be rooted and run an auto-mount script (or manually via terminal commands). This is not for your phone, but provided as an example and info:

Thanks, I want to use my phone as bittorrent client, that why i need to use big files often. I'm root.
I don't have a USB OTG cable...
I have the sd card with ext4 format as primary partition and it's not working.
I think that it's not an easy way to use files biger that 4 gb in this chinese phone.
I also tried to NTFS format and this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=es and the phone freezes often...it's not a solution at all.
It's frustating that a chinese tablet supports perfectly ntfs and the s3 exfat, but with this phone, ther¡s no way...i been trying all day long! I gave up.
thank you anyway.
Hi Guys,
i have the Tab S 10.5 and rooted it.
No i tryed to get a NTFS HDD to run. So i installed Paragon NTFS ... and i have a external HDD with own power adapter. Furthermore i bought a USB - HUB also a own power adapter. The Paragon app find the harddisk an i can click on mount, but nothing happened even if i try to click on automatic mount or own manual folder choose. It is doing something, say that the HDD is mounted, but in the menue of Paragon, it is declared as unmounted. The same in StickMount, it says the HDD is mounted to folder XY, but there is nothing inside .
Is anyone able to mount external HDD's?
NTFS isn't supported officially. I had to format my microsd card into exfat to get it to work.
Stickmount should work - did u let it download the files when you first run it?
Hm yes it downloaded the files and now if i click on mount, it do it but in the folder there is no file from the harddisk, i tried it with a 1tb and 3tb disk.
Furthermore i can check and repair the disks and the tool is saying everything is fine, but i cannot se anything in the folder where it is mounted.

Tried with my Ntfs flash drive - same on stock and stickmount. Formatted to exfat, works on both.
Guess Samsung changed something that broke stickmount as well.

I got my NTFS drive working using Paragon_NTFS for non-rooted mounting and then opened it with Total Commander. Going the Paragon rooted way didn't work for me either.

Doesn't the app require root?

Paragon the app does require it. But the company Paragon also developed a plugin for Total Commander. I was going to post the link but I'm under 10 posts for the forum so I can't.
Anyways just search "USB plugin for Total Commander" or Paragon and that all should come up. You need Total Commander as well but it does not require root.
