I bought a Sandisk 64GB card for my SGS3 but I have having problems with the exFat file system it uses.

I format it in the phone itself although it came preformatted and copy all my files from my 32GB card to it using my laptop and a micro sdxc card reader. I then put it in the phone and it flashes up that its a damaged card, WTF.

I got really worried for a moment and thought I had a dud or fake, but I bought from amazon so surely not. I then tried formatting it to fat32 but couldn't use windows 7 as it doesn't support it. I tried the HP format tool but that also gave me 'damaged card' after inserting it in my phone.

I then found another fat32 formatter somebody mentioned on another forum and then copied all my files on it again which takes a while by the way and hey presto it doesnt give me 'damaged card' when I put it in. I have played games and movies that are on it and no problems.

So it seems the reports that I read about exFat and 64GB micro sdxc cards working on this phone are false. It must be samsungs version of exFat thats the problem. I hope it will be fixed soon as I want to copy files larger than 4gb to it.

Does anybody have one of these cards or another brand? Are you having the same problems?

I "destroyed" two 32 GB cards and using a 8 GB for the moment, which works fine.

So should I NOT use the mobile to format the card again? I have a new 32 GB card from a different brand but want to be sure before using it. :)

Maybe the destroyed cards you got were fakes. You can check if it has any problems with a windows app called h2testw.

I don't think the mobile will destroy your card. Formatting a 32GB card in the mobile will give you a FAT32 file system and a 64GB to exFAT.

I have the same 64gb Class 10 Sandisk card, and it works fine. By the way, this phone is amazing, considering I upgraded from a Huawei G300 :D

I'm currently using a Sandisk 32GB Class 4, have copied all big games over there using DirectoryBind and haven't had problems with slowdowns at all.

Just amazing.

I have found out that once you copy over a certain amount of files over, about 12 to 13 thousand, it then becomes unstable and then 'damaged card' appears on your phone. I don't trust exFat on my sgs3. Its a pity as you could copy files greater than 4GB. I have found out a way of using NTFS on my sgs3 and 64GB card. It also supports 4GB+ files.

I am having the same problem, and found out it is because /system/bin/fsck.exfat segfaults. Here are the relevant parts of logcat:

So it would seem that for now, if you're using the stock ROM, exfat formatting is broken. :(
