[johnpro112]

Hi everyone,

I purchased a 64gb SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 on Amazon and It is not mounting to my phone. I believe the phone does recognize it, but when i try to mount it, it does not mount. Any tips?

Before using my 64GB Sandisk microSDXC I had to quick format it on my PC before it was recognized by my GSIII (TMo). I did a quick format using exFAT with default allocation size. GSIII are known to support exFAT unlike many other android devices.

This is what I used to format my 64gb card into FAT32 format:
Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd

Go to the middle area where it says "Now download a copy of fat32format" and follow the steps.

how did you quick format it on your computer? I have my 64gb connected to my S3 and all it says is "SD card is safe to remove." I would like to format it on my computer but I can not. When I connect the S3 to the computer it only shows internal memory.

Use a MicroSD card reader

I used a USB SD card reader

okay what program can I use to format it? I found a micro sd usb card reader.

The regular windows program can not format it to FAT32

Did you even read my above post? ExFat with default allocation size.

In my case, I was having issues with exFAT. Ever since I formatted to FAT32, no problems.

Yup I formatted to fat32 and I had no problems, Using EasePartition. Now my phone reads the 64gb sd card. Issue solve.

Thanks for all ya help.

Not sure if GSIII for Sprint is that much different from mine, but I was able to use exFAT once I reformatted with default allocation size using Win 7. Before reformatting the card was not recognized by my device. I like the ability to store >4 GB files.
