Hello all , and i have a verry strange thing to report , i have a galaxy s2 with a 32 gb memory card , and when i bought the card and the phone , i could transfer movies that where like 14 GB :| , and after i formated the memmory card then it tells me that there is a file limit for fat32 , again when i bought the card i could easy put files above 4 gb on the card , i used to copy files on the sgs2 when it was in Mtp conection , so please some one can tell me what happened , why i cannot copy bigger files than 4 gb now ? because i formated the card :| ? when the card was brand new everything was fine , please some expert help i want awnsers ...
That is because the maximum file size for FAT32 is 4GB. Just format it to NTFS (Or whichever other filesystem android can use) and you'll be fine again.
You answered your own question. 4GB is the limit of Fat32.. format the card NTFS or ext2 or any number of other file systems that support larger file sizes
The SGS2 supports filesizes higher than 4gb with external SDcard?
Didn't know this always threw an error for me for filesizes over 4gb.
ok stop listen every one , i know if u formate it to ntfs it will suport bigger files than 4gb or exfat , believe me ive tried and if i formate it to ntfs or exfat , the phone will report the memory card as " Corupted memory card " formate now ?
Is there any other file system that android can use something else than FAT32 ???
Maybe ext file system will be the answer to your question.
Back in 2011 before my sgs2, i had HTC Desire which you could put ext filesystem to get more internal with custom roms, because of the little space that the Desire is born with.
i do remember that ext file system is the one that linux uses.
After all, android is using the linux kernel.
ext, ext2, ext3, ext4
You can use minitool partition wizard, to create/convert file system off your sd card.
Just re-format it in ntfs and be happy
I may be wrong, but I don't believe anything other than a NT based Windows OS can read NTFS formatted drives.
Honestly, the best answer I've found for this issue is to split movies into multiple files. It only takes minutes with mkv2vob (assuming they're mkv files), and it converts them into mpegs (despite the name).
It's totally free and a great little app to have anyway.

There is a NTFS kernel module available for Android -- a forum search will turn up multiple threads on the topic. I believe there's also been some work done on ext4 and/or exFAT support; both those filesystems allow files > 4GB.
Transferring a 14gb movie onto the phone is a retarded thing to do, the phone has 800x480 screen. Re-encode the movie..problem solved.

I agree... If you use vuze or something, plug your phone in - it will detect it as a device, drag file into your phone down the left side and it will transcode it for you
Plenty of other converters but I don't know how proficient you are

Not retarded if he wants to output it on the TV though
So does NTFS & 4gb+ file sizes work on external sdcards with the SGS2?
It won't work unless you root and look for a patch or something to read NTFS. Maybe ext will work (but, if you use Windows, you won't be able to read/write it).
Cant download anything bigger than 4gb to external sd card. I have a T769 Blaze and have a 32gb external sd card installed, a sandisk hicap. I installed it factory and no luck. Read some forums and formated it to exfat, then ntsf, both read fine and can store up to 4gb but no more, tried all the various apps to get it to store when downloading but always get size limit error. How can I get my OS to allow bigger than 4gb to download to my 32gb sd card. Note: I have no issues when trying to move files from PC to phone, just downloading them from the Internet either by download site or torrent. Got some movies and software I need to get. OS is ics 4.0.4 rooted stock. I am a good pc geek but limited on android/linux skills.
Strange.

If you used an NTFS formatted SD card, you should be able to put a > 4GB file on there without trouble. You may have formatted the card as vFAT instead on NTFS. The problem would then be that your phone wouldn't be able to read and write to the NTFS file system (your PC would have no problem). The only file system that Android can read/write to that handles files larger than 4GB is Ext2/3/4. Of course, that means that your computer will have to have special software to read/write an Ext2/3/4 file system (unless you are running Linux on your PC, or you have a Mac). You can move the files from PC to Phone because you are probably writing to the phone's internal storage which is Ext4, and the MTP protocol is handling the file system issue that you would normally have if you tried to write to the file system directly.
Good luck, let me know if you need anything else.

So if I forrmat my sd cart to exr4, I'll be able to downlod torrents up to 4gb? Correct?
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
i thought my question is just simple. but after googling, i still cant find easy answer for this.
does android support sd card formatted as ext3/ext4?
i try to use one on my android phone (xiaomi redmi note), but its unreadable. i try ext2, ext3, ext4, ntfs. none works. it said unreadable format. need to be formatted.
i need support for above 4 gig, since i download lots of hd movies and games torrent using my phone with wifi.
i dont want to partitioned my sd. i just want make my sd card functional on android for above 4gb file support.
Hello,
I have a big problem, because I want to store files larger than 4gb on the android SD Card.
So it is not possible to use FAT32, but if I format the SD Card as EXT2 or EXT3, on the PC with Minitool partition wizard,
the phone always says that the card is damaged and wants to format the card back to FAT32. I really need help to come loose from that damn awful FAT32. I really dont understand how they can make a operating system in the Year 2015 (The release date of Android 6.0) that can olny support a awful f*cking old filesystem like FAT32, that can only store files smaller than 4gb, in a time where micro SD Cards with 500gb had already existed, and files larger tahn 4gb were already virtuelly everywhere. Please help me, I tried all tutorials already, but nothing worked. Phone is rooted.
My 2nd question is: Why can I store files larger than 4gb on the internal memory, it seems Android 6.0 can support modern filesystems, but only for the internal memory?
If your phone's Android supports Adoptable Storage ( not every phone running Android 6.0 supports the feature ) make the SD-card ( fully or partially ) used by Android as internal memory.
