Check file systems in android?

[theimmortalbg]

How to check/change file system of my android phone and my sdcard from android? (my phone is galaxy s4 and its not rooted). This is basic information that I expect to have every self respecting OS, what do you think ? Also how can I format my sd card to exfat which is faster as I heard ?

Is there a built in file manager on the S4?
Not sure what it may be called...perhaps "My Files"?

Or you can use an app to view files/folders on your device such as ES File Manager or Explorer, among others

As far as formatting your sd card, you can use this program to format it:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

Just remember you will lose anything on the card when formatting, so save what you need (if you knew that already, sorry...)

And I don't know about it running faster when you format it to exfat, but perhaps others might.

I have ES file explorer and I dont see where to check what is my file system (fat32, exfat , ntfs, ext3 ...)

File Explorer (aka FX) gives filesystem types. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx

All partitions on internal storage will be ext4. Only removable storage will be FAT32, exfat, etc. To run fsck to check ext4 filesystem integrity you must have root access. Not to worry, you should never need to run fsck.

Ah, I misunderstood you then, sorry
You wish to know what your file system is formatted at?

Edit: thanks Crash...that's what I get for sending a reply this late and not refreshing the page first

CrashDamage - File Explorer (aka FX) does NOT show what is type of file system of my phone or my sd card (never saw ntfs fat32 or ext3 4 or so on ) !!! I am still wondering how the hell I can check so basic thing about my phone .... If somebody know how to check the file system please help me(I have no adapters cardreaders and so on I want to check it from my phone !)

Of course FX will show filesystem types. Long-press > Details. You might find another free utility, System Panel, easier to use for this and it provides lotsa other useful info.
