Hi,

the specs of the Acro S say that maximum SD Card size is 32 GB. Has anyone tried a 64 GB card?

Yes, I did try 64GB MicroSD card on my Acro S. It works fine and great. Haha. For your info I was equipping my Acro S with the ORIGINAL SanDisk 64GB Class10 UHS-1 Micro SDXC MicroSD Card MOBILE ULTRA.

what type of FS youre using, is it exFAT?
also on what rom under you're now..

thanks!

If I remembered correctly, I never used exFAT format. Why don't you try and let me know what's the results?
Now... I've moved to Xperia Z and V. My Acro S... Accidentally dropped into a >2m deep swimming pool and it got waterdamaged! LOL! Was running stock firmware with ROOT as well as CM9.1 by FreeXperia though.

everything always says expandable to 32, I believe its because that's what fat32 support supports as a maximum. but in most cases exfat will actually work they just never state it

No the Acro S does not support exFAT. You will need to reformat the SD card to use in your phone.

Code:
dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard1 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

/storage/sdcard1/       59.4G    58.1G     1.4G   32768

Hi everyone, ive already figured this out.
i inserted 64gb card on acro s as exFAT formatter. it says blank sd card and wont mount.
tried formatting under win7 as fat32 it failed,


Solution:

used easeus partition manager and formatted it as FAT32, it is now being recognized by AcroS 58.99GB.
we just need to format it to fat32 for it to be recognized by the device. techincally as long as the file system of the sd card is fat32 it will be recognized by AcroS

(please note on the file size limitation of fat32 file system)

Quote from wiki:

"The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232 − 1) bytes. This limit is a consequence of the file length entry in the directory table and would also affect huge FAT16 partitions with a sufficient sector size.[1] Video applications, DVD images, large databases, and some other software easily exceed this limit."

Thanks everyone for the idea:)
