[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Apo11on:
Xiaomi Mi Pad is an Android device, which you can see on the specs page here and just about any other specifications page you can find. Therefore, claiming it has no "no bearing on Android in general" makes absolutely no sense and it is beyond my comprehension, why would you claim that. And once again - you fail to understand that the fact, that forum link I provided, showing people are unable to use exFAT for large sdcards has nothing to do with Note 3 or Samsung only strengthens my point, because it shows exFAT/Android incompatibility has a broad range, and not specific to a devices or manufacturer. By continuing to bring up that argument you're shooting yourself in the foot, and it astounds me that even after I pointed out that lagical flaw in your argument you continue to do so :confused:

Your reference to "people at Samsung" has no merit. First, because my claim about exFAT/Android incompatibility for sdcards > 32GB comes from my hands on multiple experience of trying to get it to work, and probably over a 100 testimonies from other users from XDA and other tech forums and blogs, who reported the same, rather that relying in some theoretical documentation from a phone maker. Second, because the issue is NOT specific to Samsung and Samsung is a phone maker, not Android OS creator and maintainer. They customize Google OS, they don't make it and therefore Samsung does not define hardware support list for Android OS.

I assure you there is absolutely no possibility you have "a bit" or a lot more experience with internet than me, since I've been using internet since early to mid 80's when Microsoft released first Windows and first UI rendering engine for internet, now called browser. Also, based on my academic credentials, and proficiency with Unix/Linux based OSes, such as UNIX, Irix, Linux (multiple distributions), FreeBSD, Solaris and then some, which goes back decades - the possibility of you, having more Android experience than me, since you're not a developer (and I am, just don't program for android) is slim to none. But like you said - that's not germane to the matter at hands, so I guess there was no point in bringing that up, other than your desire to continue arguing :D

I normally don't respond on behalf of other people, but your inexplicable, continued interference with troubleshooting bigbiff and I are doing has to stop. So, here are the reasons why it is not helpful:

1. The problem occurs on *my* phone, so he wants to see dmesg with the errors from my phone, and posting a clean dmesg from a device, using different file system and more importantly - different size sdcard will reveal nothing about TWRP compatibility with my hardware configuration

2. The card I'm using is 200GB, not 128GB - I have a 128GB, formatted into FAT32 and TWRP works fine with it. Therefore, posting output for a card, where there is no problem, and which works for everyone couldn't be any less helpful.

I don't mean to be impolite, but there is just no other way to say this: You don't have the same hardware TWRP has an issue with, nor do you use a file system, which it has a problem with. Therefore, you won't be able to help - please stay out of this. bigbiff and I have exchanged quite a few PMs on the subject, and if he prefers to continue the discussion in the thread - it doesn't mean we need people with different hardware to interfere.
