I tried a couple of different ways to transfer a movie on to my One, but it seems files larger than 4GB crash explorer on my PC. This is very subjective testing, so the 4GB number may be wrong. All I know is a 7GB file crashes explorer for sure. Now, if storage was FAT, I would get it. But its not, and it supports files larger than 4GB.
Any ideas?
You can split up the files using WinZip and then repackage them on the phone. Also USB otg and an external drive ate options. The drive is fat32 which only supports 4gb.

Im aware of fat32's limit but I thought the One had ext3 format?
Yup, you are correct. My bad.

So I just got my new 64gb class 10 sd card, and last time I did a partition on sd card was about 2 year ago on the og evo, and I remember its was useful to have a partion ext.3 but now I see there is ext.4 also along the ext.2 as well. so my question is do I still need to partition sd card and which partition should I use? and what size? thank a lot!
U can see fat32 on mini partition tool....fat32 work on all android mobiles

I'm getting one in the mail also Saturday and was going to ask also. Don't you just put the card in your phone and format it and it works to get all 59GB? Then transfer all of my info from my 32gb card over to it?

yeah, your correct but that to transfer your data from one card to the other. I'm asking about sd partition? and ext.4 and what it does?

Oh, well I was going to transfer all my data on my 32 go my laptop then from my laptop to my new 64. If I do it this way does my card have to be "Partitioned"?

keep in mind; fat32 has 4GB single file limit which means you wont be able to save anything larger than that such as blu-ray 1080p rips, etc...

Ok cool, good to know. I don't think I have anything greater than maybe 1.5gb in size which is a TWRP backup.

Hey all,
I have a 16GB sd card in my phone. I am however running extremely low on space.
I understand android allocates about 4GB of the SD for the rom and whatnot... but I cannot seem to find out what is taking up this 8GB of "other" on my memory.
When I go look for things to delete, I dont see anything. I only have about 1.2 GB of pics.
Any ideas?
I've attached a picture below to show what im talking about.
-nvm- i figured it out.
Re: Phone Storage "Other" Full?
I'm having the same problem, how's your app storage mine has 4.10gb that I don't know what's using it
Best bet is just looks throw your phones storage with es file explorer

thatotherguy,
I just pulled my SD card, then used ES file explorer to browse through what was on the phone storage.
it turns out my previous rom (meanrom) stored all the OTA updates (about 600 megs a piece) every time.
i ended up deleting those OTA updates since I just upgraded to meanbean.
What about your app storage? How much is yours using?

my app storage is just like yours. i just downloaded app2sd, i plan on moving some apps over to save some space.
Tried to copy over a 9gb movie, no go obviously. :\ Given no expansion SD slot, there is no way to work around this is there?
Doubt it. Storage is formatted using FAT file system which has a 4 gig file limit.

It is not formatted in fat. It is ext3 I believe that's why we don't have usb mass storage.

You could attempt zipping files in your computer and then unzip them in the phone. Alternatively, i heard that OTG is possible which will allow USB to be hooked up.

For those of you that are looking for extra storage, you might consider checking out this project of Kickstarter before it ends. This adapter allows you to use a microsd card with your One and also comes with a Micro USB to USB adapter to connect to your computer for file transfers. The adaptor is small and has been confirmed to work on the One. I've got one on order now. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta
just picked one up in case. thanks man
9gb movie... Wow, want to use every pixel on that screen huh?
That kickstarter project is definitely your best bet. Or a similar usb otg cable and a usb drive.

ext3 supports files much larger than 4GB. If the phone won't let you copy a 9GB file to it then it must be another problem. And UMS is discouraged by Google I think as it doesn't allow concurrent storage access to both apps and the computer attached though USB.
When Samsung added JB to the Note 2, the MTP driver blocked copying files >4GB. They seem to have fixed it on the SGS4 as I just finished copying a 4.3GB movie file to it.
split the file up
MTP is pretty awful; if you're at all comfortable with the command line, use adb instead and save yourself some trouble.
Hi guys,
All the sudden noticed I can't see my SD card on my phone.
Plugged it into my Linux machine and it said it couldn't read the device and my Windows box wants me to reformat it. On the S3 it says the card is blank or the file type isn't supported.
Any suggestions?
format it
I'm trying to recover the photos from it though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unlikely you will. The file system is corrupt. You can't even mount it without formatting it.
Sorry dude, most likely it's all gone.
Tip for the future. Use foldersync to backup files to online storage or a computer that's always on.
...or dropbox auto upload...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Ok thanks. You think if I reformat and then use a tool like recuva I might be able to get some stuff back?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Maybe. These programs work independently of the file system. Depends if just the fs was corrupt or the data too.
Prepare yourself for it not working though

While connected to Portable hard drives, HTC One Max doesn't recognize even with dual OTG cable with external power option. it accepts only usb pen drives. While Samsung note 2, S4, Note 3 easily detects the drive with ExFat formats. Kindly help me!
I think you need Fat32
I have no trouble with FAT32 file systems, but exFAT and NTFS are not recognised
on my stock VZW One Max on 4.3. I have a 128GB microSDXC in fat32 and it
is seen fine, Apparently the M8 does support exFAT, I guess HTC didn't want
to license it for the Max?
FAT32 doesn't allow to transfer a single file size more than 4gb. That's why I need EXFAT support. Any idea to make it work.

You need kernel with exFAT support.
