I have purchased 256GB Sandisk Micro Sdcard for Samsung M30s.Before using it, whether I have to format it in F32 or Exfat format?If exfat,how can it be done?
Connect the card to Windows 10 machine ( using propper adapter ). You will be able to format with exfat ( as an option )

I've just installed a Sandisk 64Gb MicroSD card, and formatted it on the S2. I previously had a 32Gb card. For some reason the new SD card is not visible on a PC when I connect in MTP mode - I can only see the 11Gb internal SD card. I'm running ICS (Resurrection Remix 1.1).
Has anyone else had problems with 64Gb cards?
Check in Applications (settings). There's a seeing there that might need changing. USB debug mode.

The phone was already in USB debug mode. I tried switching it off but I still couldn't see the external USB card

Windows 7 only gives the option of exFAT or NTFS (it was formatted as exFAT). I tried formatting it to FAT32 from the DOS prompt but it just hung at 0% complete.
???
Apparently there's a way to use ntfc on gs2 but the guy who mentioned it on XDA ,I can't recall exactly what he said. He's called trev186

Something wrong with your card reader or windows then as FAT 32 is the Windows default tested and formatted a card 30 seconds ago .

Must be a Windows problem. I just plugged the card reader into a Linux machine and was able to format in FAT(32). Both phone and PC can see the card now, but am having problems with the phone stopping responding while copying. Hmmm...

Firstly and most important point....any drive or storage media(external/internal) cannot be formatted to fat 32 filesystem if its capacity or size is more than 32 gigs......there are ways to format it to fat 32 but thats actually not pure fat 32....
Secondly s2 supports cards upto 32 gigs..i don't know how you actually are using it....it might not be giving you the full capacity of 64 gigs...(please confirm that)
So the case here may be that..either your sd card has been formatted to an unknown format by the phone that the pc cannot recognize when connected via phone...
So firstly please try re formatting the sd card with your phone and then plug it into your pc via the card reader...if your pc shows the option that the sd card needs to be formatted then...its true..use a 32 gig sd card or any compatible device...else try formatting it to fat 32 via usb extreme software (well google it)...
Else you cannot use it on s2 with ntfs format...cuz the s2 doesn't support ntfs...

When I formatted the card from the phone I got the "Blank USB Storage" notification immediately after the format was complete. If I then tried to copy anything to it using ES File Explorer (a file from the internal SD card for example) I got "copy failed".
I'm now using Windows Explorer to copy files onto the SD card (I was using Directory Opus before on the PC) and so far so good...
Hmm...did you try to use partition wizards to format your sd card via card reader?The partition wizard softwares are available for free if you do a quick google...format into FAT 32...I use EASEUS partition manager...

No I just tried the standard format options in Windows before switching to Linux and reformatting to FAT
Then maybe you should consider my method...

Question
Support a Sony Tablet S - SGPT 112 DE/S 32Gig an SDXC 64gig SDCard
I have Purchased a Sandisk Ultra SDXC 1 64Gig Class 10 30Mbs
It not Work. The Tablet say. Please Insert a Storage Card. Format with FAT32 not help. With the SDXC Card inside, after boot the SDCARD Internal Memory is not Show Anymore.
Is the Card incomatible or generally SDXC
what version of android do you have now? You need ICS release 6 for sdxc support!
I may be mistaken, but I recall support for SDXC memory cards formatted exFAT was first provided with the 4.0.3 release 6b firmware update. However, SDXC memory cards formatted FAT32 can be used with earlier versions of firmware.
My Tab have
Android 4.0.3 realeae 1a
Kernel 2.6.39.4
Rooted.
Format as FAT32 not help. The Tablet Say Insert a SDCard. SDCARD Memory is gone.
Another
Format as NTFS with the Paragon NTFS & HFS+ APP not Work. Same issue.

We are talking about 2 different tabs here. R6b is newer Xperia tab s... R1a is original tab...
All you have right about sdxc ExFat format. Look at your sony site there is an info/statement about sdxc. Check, its there where are news about update . These sdxc formated are incompatible with sgpt 111/112/ 113 NOW . Maybe in future will be comp - who knows . I didnt check xts statement.
...but koto u can change sdcard format to Fat32 and you will have working with tab card.
I personally have same card as you but microsdxc 64GB with sd adapter. I resolved this problem by formatting it with my android phone (lt18i .4.0.3) .Exfat changed to Fat32. You can format it also via PC tool ( my case : I formatted my card first on PC win xp and after I have 32Gb card instead of 64. After that read somewhere that some OS ( windows generally) have restriction of reading Fat format to 32gb - but it doesnt mean that it cant read it. ) . Linux should read and be able to format to fat32 >32gb sd . Search 3 rd party app for pc to formatt.
Btw i have 4.0.3r5a,I can confirmed this card working also on ( 4.0.3.r5 ,4.0.3r1)
koto99 why you want to have ExFat formatted one ? transfer >5gb?You can also plug external hdd with ntfs and drive mount app with rooted tablet. Drive must have external dc to give own power supply.

Can your PC read and write the FAT32-formatted card?
With right click on it, what do you see in Properties (Eigenschaften)?
Yes Windows 7 64 Bit can Read an Write FAT32 SDCard. Card work on PC Perfect.

Strange...
Under Windows it looks good. Then only people who have personally experienced the case can help you. Sorry!
I pushed question about it to sandisk support. I ' ll post what they answered after I receive it.
Btw. read in support about sony nex-7 and sdxc. When formatted in camera windows 7 (which is compatible with exFat) sees as unsupported. When card is windows 7 formatted nex-7 sees as unsupported.
Btw1 about screen at #11 I see used space at 64.0KB. I experimented sth.After I formatted card the used space were same as I set in format tool in cluster size option. I tested this with easeus. Set to 8.0KB cluster size- after format used space was 8.0KB. If this screen is shortly after format you may set in format opt 64.0KB cluster.Did you try 32KB cluster? My Lt18i formatted my microSDXC as 32 KB cluster size and have active/ primary in easeus option.

Tablet not See the Card.
EaseUS Partition Master 9.2.1 Home Edition not See any SDCard. Format impossibel. (Windows)
As I promised here is an answer from sandisk technical support. Maybe some info there is obvious. I want to post state of manufacturer. In my mail I asked if sdcard can be damaged permanently by formatting it to fat32 and consequences about that (in my sgpt111). Also asked about tool app to format inside tablet( most tablets don't have that option). Check the tech repply esp "the only consequence".
Dear Customer,
Thank you for emailing SanDisk Technical Support. It is our goal to make sure you have all the resources you need to get the most from your product.
I understand that in exFAT, the 64GB microSDXC card is not detected by your Sony tablet. This is because the tablet doesn't support exFAT. After formatting the card in FAT32, the card seems to be working fine in the tablet and shows the full capacity.
The only consequence you may experience by doing this is that you won't be able to add any files larger than 4GB, due to the FAT32 limitation.
Transferring a 4GB or larger file to a USB flash drive or memory card http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/289/kw/4GB
You will be able to format the card back to exFAT, if your operating system also supports exFAT: Operating Systems that Support the exFAT File System http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3389/kw/exfat
If I understand correctly, you would like to know also if there is a difference between the microSDXC card and the SDXC card. There is indeed a physical difference between both cards:
- microSDXC: SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card for mobile devices www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/?capacity=64GB
- SDXC: SanDisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I Card www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/sd/ultra-uhs-1-class10-30mbs/?capacity=64GB
Regarding your question about the format option tool for the tablet, there currently are no development plans on this. You may keep an eye on the SanDisk webpage to see if there would be any plans on this.

I have a 16gb Sandisk micro SD card which is readable by my computer under Windows 7 OS. I can’t format the memory card either on my computer. It only shows me the file type of the card is raw. Under Disk Management, the only option for the card is formatting. But the format process always failed in the end. How can I format my micro SD card to fat32 on my Windows 7 computer?

I bought a micro sd card 64GB Class 10 for Samsung Galaxy S3 .
I formatted in FAT32 or exFAT?
It seems that this card size does not support FAT32

I've tried 2 different Sandisk SD Cards with the same boot loop issue.
Sounds are Format Error.
Over 32 Gig SD Card take Acronis Disk Director and Format the Card to FAT32 Primäry. Not Logical.
Some Windows Formatter Tools not Work. I have siminlar Trouble with Cards over 32 Gig on Some Android Devices.
SD Cards over 32 Gig Format is ExFat. Make Sure Device Support ExFat. Or Format FAT32 Primäry.
