Hello!
I have a Xperia Neo (Unlock BL with Suave Kernel v6 + Jelly Dream Z1), and 1 MicroSD Card SDHC 64Gb Class 10 (Buy in dx.com).
This MicroSD Card have a 62,5Gb and i tried make work it in my Neo. But, I faced some problems:
-MicroSD only formated in exFat or NTFS.
Question 1: Have one solution for Xperia Neo read and write this format of Filesystem?
-With Mini Tool Partition Software, i can formated to FAT32 (With 32k of Cluster). But when I take a photo, some photos are crop ou damaged. When I make a video, in sometime of playback of video stops and Android says "Cannot play this video. Invalid URL". When I tried write some file in SD Card, the ES File Manager return Failed.
Question 2: Its possible this card are some error or defect?
-If I make a 32gb FAT32 partition, this card works.
Question 3: Someone can help me?
Thanks!
Well, this card it may be defected. You should replace that card. But before you do, scan it ScanDisk. Yes, that's right. That one built in Windows. Check 2 boxes, click scan, go to make some coffee/tea/food, come back and tell me what happend after that.
If everything fine, try reformat it again using higher cluster size.Or use fat32format (google it, I'm a newbie, no links allowed right now for me). If ScanDisc detect a problem, well, try to replace card.
Im using right now 64GB microSd in my "chinese-crap-made" tablet with ICS 4.0.4 named OverMax card without any problem and i'm formatted that card using program mentioned before. Also my 32GB card in my Xperia still works, so you better check that card.
BUT WAIT !!
Some CM10.1 may NOT mount that type of card, even if you format that way what I'm told you.
FAT32 is a particular NOT a problem for Linux. Even when we use FUSE.
The problem only with FAT32 with names of files, but these are the cases related to the selected program. Very rarely.
microSDXC with a capacity of 64GB its a new standard and its designed to work with exFAT. This exFAT is NOT FULLY compatible with Cyanogenmod roms and CM-based, including some AOSP and may harm your devices.
Have you ever read that sentence below?
"* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards"
However, it is not a rule. Because bricking phone while flashing the zip or tar its hard and you have to REALLY "get lucky". But when you flash ROM, using exFAT it may damage your card itself or your data.
That's what happened to me...
I need to use chkdsk /f to recover my card.
Anyway - you better watch out using that card in android. Especially if you care about your data.
In tablet I don't care - Its just maps for my navi, some music and movies. And I have backup on PC. So that's why I dont care about data in my crappy tablet.

Try "Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+" app on play store, it supports exfat. If it says your modules are not live, install shardul seth's USB OTG Helper app, run it and close it..this will make the modules live and then use the paragon app...Works for me all the time

Just wanted to report that the SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card works fine in the Prime's micro SD slot.
I bought it from Amazon, which included a USB SD card reader for $149.99.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005V7WIA2/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
The first hurdle I ran into is the fact that the card comes pre-formatted with the exFAT file system.
The Asus Transformer Prime does NOT support the exFAT file system.
At first the 16GB MKV file I copied to the card via the included card reader in Windows seemed to list and play the file in DicePlayer fine but seeking past 5 minutes would crash the player. When I copied more files to the card and explored the card via ES file explorer the file explorer listed all the directories as empty, even though when I put the card back into the card reader and read the data through Windows everything appeared and read OK.
However The Prime will read and write fine to an NTFS formatted card. NTFS format is preferable to FAT32 since you can't copy files to a FAT32 partition larger than 4GB. As I have several movie files much bigger than 4GB FAT32 would be unsuitable for my (and most people buying a card of this size) needs.
To format your card as NTFS in Windows:
1.) Put the card into the included full size SD card adapter
2.) Insert the card in a USB reader (one was included with my purchase from Amazon)
3.) Connect the USB reader into the computer and wait for windows to assign it a drive letter.
4.) Open up a command prompt (start menu->"Command Prompt")
5.) Type the following command (replace the x with the drive letter assigned to your SDXC card).
Code:
format /FS:NTFS x:
After I formatted the card as NTFS and copied my data to it everything read and played fine.
Asus licensed drivers from Tuxera, (link), but wasn't clear about exFat being included or not.
The manual does specifically call out NTFS ...
Wonder if exFat might be supported in ICS?
FWIW, exFat is potentially a bit more efficient for flash memory, but at least NTFS is supported.
Cheers, wasn't relishing converting my Fat32-formatted 64GB card to something else to test this out (BTW, Fat32 will take files up to 4GB, not two, but still restricting for HD video).

Thanks, was noting the FAT32 file limitation from memory, corrected the OP.
Looks like the Amazon resellers raised their price to $199.99. Best price I can find now is here ($161.36 with tax/shipping) :
http://www.provantage.com/sandisk-sdsdqy-064g-a11a~4SNDK2YU.htm
Isn't there a convert tool to convert FAT to NTFS? Don't know if it works for FAT32 or not, but ...
Ah yes, here it is:
Code:
C:\Users\Me>convert /?
Converts a FAT volume to NTFS.
CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V] [/CvtArea:filename] [/NoSecurity] [/X]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume will be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert will be run in verbose mode.
/CvtArea:filename Specifies a contiguous file in the root directory that will be the place holder for NTFS system files.
/NoSecurity Specifies that the security settings on the converted files and directories allow access by all users.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary. All open handles to the volume will not be valid.
C:\Users\Me>
I could be wrong but I think convert.exe only works on FAT16 or FAT32, I don't think it works on exFAT. Regardless you're probably better off with a clean format to make sure everything is nice and clean with no unreadable (bad) portions.
I wonder how it would perform (if at all) if you formatted the card as ext4 instead of ntfs.

Does the card stick out of the side at all? I hear some cards are longer than others and create an annoying bump on the side of the tablet.

It's raised out about the exact same amount the volume rocker extrudes from the Prime.

Didn't test with ext4, ext4 is a much harder partition format to work with in Windows.

You convert fat32 to ntfs with the windows command line " convert" . Did the same with my 32gb sd card
Anyone tried a SDXC in the SD slot of the dock?

FWIW I got a wild hair and formatted my new micro sd card with exFAT and I am able to read and write using my Prime with ICS
Edit: I also did some tests and it seems write speeds are increased a bit with exFAT over NTFS
I'd love to see some crystaldiskmark numbers from your card!
P.S. also really happy to hear that exFat is working via ICS ... it should be better than ntfs for those that want >4gb files.
can you test out how fast it works? Writing and Reading speed both.
Does anybody here have ubuntu? It supports formatting in all the above file systems, as well as the norm browsing/filetransfer/ and all the such.
I've bought the card a week ago and it worked fine on my Prime without ICS (only got ICS last night; German SKU). Write rates using the supplied SD card adapter on my PC were around 7.5 MB/s.
No need to convert unless you want to use it with a Linux box.

Mine also worked with exFat until I put a bunch of data on it. Try copying a 8GB+ mkv to it and see if you can seek/play the entire file. My experience in Honeycomb was that it failed to read the entire file and if I copied more data to the exFAT formatted card then my files started disappearing from any file explorer run on the Prime (though still visible in Windows when connected to a dedicated USB card reader). This was my experience in Honeycomb, haven't re-tested with ICS since everything works great when formatted as NTFS.

OH my god are you saying you can read and write all 64 gigs on the card? No issues at all? Is there any disadvantage over using a 32 gig card?

From Sony's support site:
"The tablet can recognize SD and SDHC memory cards (Class 4 or higher) up to 32GB in size. External USB Hard Disk up to 2TB (Terabytes) have been tested and will be recognized, as long as the drive is formatted in the FAT32 file system. Similarly, flash drives of any size will be recognized as long as they are formatted in the FAT32 file system."

ive read here some one has tried 64GB SDXC card on it
is that right can some one confirm before i buy it
thanks
there is this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20273764&postcount=4
I use 64 sdxc. bought the cheapest and format it to fat32 with third party tool. works excellent.
I use a 128GB SDXC card with mine. works like a charm.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/756124-REG/Lexar_LSD128CRBNA133_128GB_Professional_SDXC_Card.html
here is the link to the card I'm using.
I know this is an older thread and well not trying to be a noob. I see it does work with ICS update as well but my question is do you have direct access to it or do you have to transfer to the internal storage to use it?
I use MixZing for music MX player for movies and Astro for everything else. All these work with the specially formatted SDXC?
does the gallery app with the upgrade work as well to get access to photos on the card. I have heard that some programs will not find the card at all.
I don't have ICS installed, so many of these things will have changed.
In Honeycomb, the Sony stock apps required copying data to internal storage, but third-party apps could access it just fine. The only problem (which caused the occasional app to not find the SD Card), is that most devices mount their SD Cards as either /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or /mnt/external_sd but Sony instead (at least in Honeycomb) mounted it at /mnt/sdcard2 so some apps might not see it, but most still should find it.
Hy!
I have a trouble with my mini pro.
I bought a new microSD card (Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4) to my phone and when I try to record HD video, it's recording succesfully, but when I play the video, after a few seconds it freezes and display a message "This video cannot be play" (in Hungarian "A videó nem játszható le")
After I discover that some picture has similar probelm, the software doesn't save the whole picture, just a part of it, the remain space is filled with gray.
I format the memory card with the phone and I try the built-in Windows disk checker too, but it doesn't find anything!
Thank 4 your help!

I haven't tried a Kingston SD in my 2011 XMP, but I tried two different Kingston SDs in my old X10MP and couldn't get either one to run. I had to switch to Sandisk.

I've used the same Kingston 16gb class 4 since my I got my first android phone (x10 mini pro) and I've never had any problems. Format your card using "Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home ED" do a full format.
Steps for mini tool:
Make sure you do this using a sdcard reader not while sd is in the phone. They cost like a dollar get one from here http://www.dinodirect.com/micro-sd-card-reader.html?DDID=3520-616
1. Click on sdcard partition. Click delete and then apply.
2. Click create. Make it primary, fat32 and choose cluster size of 32kB
3. Click apply.
Make sure you backup your sdcard, and also I take no responsiblity for destroying your sdcard, phone or girlfriend (I swear she said she was single)
Cheers,
Evil.
Still no any result I've tried the two method, but the error message still came...

try to insert other card to check weather the problem is in card or in cam
Try copying random stuff to sd on pc to see if it's broken.
Try formating in FAT32, I have the same memory and no problems on my XMP
So the other little things:
when I use my old noname 2GB microSD card and I record HD video, it doesn't have any problem, so I think that the problem is with the memory card
but
at first time I copy a lot of music, video, etc. to the memory card and I can open anything from it. It's strange.
The memory card is formatted with FAT32 and 32kb cluster size
I found a read/write tester and it succesfully writes data and read it without error
The name of the program is h2testw
i'll be crazy @
So I purchased this Micro SDHC card when I was overseas thinking its a decent deal.
It was a Verbatim 16gb Class 10 (Verbatim 44010)
Long Story Short:
I had to format the card to exfat in order for my phone to write to it.
Using fat32, the phone can read the card just fine but can't write to it.
If I tried to format the card with the phone, I get the same problem (I guess the phone formats it to fat32?)
The card reads/writes fine in both formats when plugged into the pc
What do you guys think? Something is wrong with the card?
A its a question .
Probable faulty card .

I9300 and 8GB SanDisk Class 10 SDHC
This is the version that is branded as ideal for Android that came with a Sandisk application for you to download.The card has been working fine for 1 month and then suddenly while my computer can read/write to it just fine....the S3 can only read the contents from it but can't write to it. It is originally formatted to FAT32, now my phone can't copy files to it (whatever file types) using the stock file app and the camera won't even save photos to it with an error that says "copy failed" or "can't save to storage".....Having seen this post being the closest to what I am experiencing, I am wondering if I should try exFAT too.....
I have rooted my z2 and the sd card is constantly mounting then unmounting. This is getting really annoying as when trying to watch movies or listen to music it just stops halfway through because it removes the card. has anyone else had this issue? Also i am unable to download the latest android update all it says is unable to verify.
Well if you unlocked your bootloader to root, then you won't be able to update your device through official ways anymore.
I have no idea about your SD card, try backing up its data on your pc and then reformat the card?
Yeah probably have to wait untill some custom roms come out
reformated the card exfat, however everytime trying to copy to the z2 it will copy for a while then it will disconnect meaning i have to start all over again. I dont think i have came across a tablet that is so bad at handling an sd card truly awfull. I hate to think how bad shooting video will be with the card continously mounting then unmounting. Ans no its not an issue with the card because it works perfectly in my pc and galaxy note 10.1
Anyone ??

What if you reformat as fat32 with 4096 bytes cluster size, instead of exfat ?
Have you tried running an error check on the card ?

not possible to format fat32 in windows no more by default. And the issue is any videos etc on the card will be limited to 4gb file size. The Z2
natively uses exfat so why would it keep disconnecting? when i pop the card into my galaxy note 10.1 it doesnt do it so it is clearly an issue with the tablet, but will give it a try
with fat 32

Then I suppose your tablet has a faulty card reader unit. I'm sure you can get it replaced or repaired without any hassle.
I am on my second, stock romantic same issue on both unless it's in its case
tried fat32 and the same thing happens what an utter load of rubbish cant even handle a 64gig card. btw this i my second z2 same thng happened on the first before and after root. Thought i would try sony as never tried their tablet devices before and was impressed by the specs on paper, what a major mistake the worst tablet ive ever used. Im gonna return it and stick with samsung like i always have and ugrade to the new note 2014 edition. Sony Fail!
Well if it's the second one in a row with this issues, I think there must be something you're doing wrong? Or maybe your SD card specs just aren't supported? What are the full specs of your SD card? And is it one of those extreme high-speed cards for (video) cameras? And aside from reformatting it on a pc, did you ever try reformatting it on the tablet itself? This is an issue I've not read of about this tablet before so it kind of puzzles me that you already had it replaced once and immediately have the same issue again.
its a sandisk ultra micro sd card i have formated both on the pc and the tab. Also i formated it as fat32 but after a while being in the tablet it seems to convert it to exfat again. i have also tried different cluster sizes. I have tested this card in my samsung s3 samsung galaxy note 10.1 pc my laptop and have no problems at all so im at a loss

Only idea I have left is for you to try other micro sd cards and see if they cause the same issue.
I think it might be to to with the number of files the tab can handle if i have nothing on the card it doesnt seem to do it but the more files are added it starts to keep unmounting the card and constant rescanning. i have about 3000 mp3s on the card. Its not like its cheap memory its a sandisk 64gb class 10.
