currently i have a gs3 running omega rom v27.2 with a 64gb microsd exfat formatted.
i've noticed that in windows i cannot copy a file >4gb to the microsd card on the phone via usb cable. it just stops with a error saying it exceeds the device limit.
in the past, probably i month ago (no idea what omega rom version i was using) i had no difficulty transferring a >4gb file to the phone via the usb cable
so the only option i have now is to:
-take off the phone tough case (<-the most annoying part)
-pop the back off
-eject the microsd card out of the phone
-put microsd into adapter
-find the card reader
-then copy the >4gb file to the microsd
-then do all the above in the reverse
that's 12 steps vs 1 click to copy file to the phone in the past when it had no limit on file size
i tried foxhound 0.7 rom, also same problem.
is there a solution ?
A work-around might be to format the card as NTFS. The S3 doesn't natively support NTFS but there are apps that add support.
I've been using NtfsSd on the S3 for a while now, because I share the card with my Transformer Prime and that reboots randomly when it has an exFAT card inserted.
Hopefully there's a proper solution to your issue, but as work-arounds go this one's not so bad.
yeah i tried formatting the 64gb microsd into ntfs then using the paragon ntfs&hfs+ app
but even that doesnt let me copy >4gb files to the microsd card when the phone is connected by usb cable. same error. file size exceeds the device limit which is crap.
This is in no way a solution, but have you tried SGS 3 Easy UMS? At least you won't have to keep on removing your memory card from the phone.
i hadn't used sg3 easy ums for a while cos last time i used it, it corrupted my memory card but that was a much older version.
just tried it:
-hit ums mode , detected the microsd on the pc, and it seems to work
-copying 8gb file to the microsd as i type
at least now i can copy to the microsd in the phone without the hassle :good:

Hey guys I have been trying to get some info if it is possible to put on and play larger files then 4gb on my galaxy s2.
I havebought a micro usb to HDMI adapter and I want to stream blurry rips to my projector using my phone.
I know the file system is good only to 4gb but why is there no custom rom that Will let me formated and read/write to say ntfs in my sd card in my phone. Isn't android Linux based? I know my ubuntu has no problems reading and writing ntfs. Why can the inserted sd card not be treated like a hard drive I plug into my laptop?
Thanks for your time.
I'm not 100% sure, but if the system is set to FAT32, then it won't be able to read NTFS anyways... and microSD card is set to Fat32, so there is a problem. But there is a possible workaround I will tell you to try AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Remember, this may or may not work... so this is what you should do to be safe:
1) Do not format the card with your phone. Take it out and plug it into your PC via
a usb card reader. Make sure your system is set to see ALL files (hidden)... and copy the whole microSD card contents to a backup folder on your PC (preserving everything as is).
2) Now select your card drive and format by selecting NTFS format.
***many MicroSD cards can't be formatted like that .. but you can give it a try and see.
OH, and you might need to use Drive Mount by Dwayne Hoy. HERE
If it doesn't work - then format it back to Fat32 and put back all your content.
PS
There are different ways you can backup your Card, but I take no responsibility if this screws things up
Good luck!
Hey guys,
I got a new 64GB MicroSD Card. There are lots of issues with this card formatted in FAT32. (Files dissappearing, re-transfer of files causes disk usage to go up, but files still missing. Sometimes there are in put output issues.)
I've done a badblocks test on the SD Card and it show no issues. I tried formatting this card in ExFAT and everything looks like it works good. The only problem is, my Springboard Detects no SD Card if its in this format.
My question is, how do I get my Springboard to read ExFAT formatted SD Cards.
Keep in mind, that when an SD Card is inserted into the device, it gets auto-mounted to /media/sdcard2
/media/sdcard is used by the internal memory.
I checked the play store and it suggested Paragon and USB OTG
I've downloaded Paragon and it does seem to detect it.
I've also downloaded USB OTG, and it also doesn't detect it.
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Zubin
AW: [Q] 64GB ExFat on Stock ICS + Root Springboard
Maybe this helps you or anybody:
Early this month Win7 got an update for Ralink based Wifi sticks, causing random errors during file transfers to both my androids with MyPhoneExplorer. Driver rollback helped.

Depends on HOW u transfer files to and from the pad(the card). I mostly use Wifi, and got OBEX errors and file skipping during bulk transfers.
Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5110) which runs on Android ICS (4.0.3). I also bought 32Gb Class 10 Samsung microSD card as the memory could be extended up to 32 gig. But soon I realized that the external SD gets mounted as read only. So it doesn't allow anything to be copied. I then read in some forums and realized that a permission needs to be changed for which the device needs to be rooted. I didn't want to root my device so decide to copy data into it through my laptop running on Windows 7.
The problem is, I'm able to copy the data into the micro SD card from a laptop using a SD card adaptor. But what ever I'm copying in my laptop doesn't show up when I insert the microSD into my tablet. It just disappears!
Has anybody faced this problem? Is there a conflict in the file system between windows and android (non FAT16/32 or NTFS) which is creating the problem?
Any suggestion to overcome this will be helpful!
Regards

Hi. I have bought a new 128gbSD card to replace the 64gb card currently in my honor7. My old phone Samsung S3 used to show the card separately as 2 drives when plugged into Windows (7). I could copy the contents of the card as a back up and/or move files from the phone drive to the SD drive.
Now , when I connect my Honor 7 phone to win7, the phone only lists one directory showing all the contents together regardless of it being on the phone memory or the SD card. I need to copy the 64gb SD content onto the new 128gb SD card but I can't see it. Is there a setting or something I should be changing to achieve this. Gently please, I'm a noob when it comes to mobile techie things.
Thanks AJ
Use a micro sd to sd adapter and an sd usb adapter on your pc its the easiest and safest way
Or use this simply from you phone. No computer needed.

Hi P9000 users!
I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....
Anyone with same issue? I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.
thx and br

We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.
Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).
In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)

Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..
