I installed a 32gb SanDisk Ultra in my Note 2 and it works just fine. I did format it before I did anything else because I read somewhere that that's a good practice, but other than that, I just popped it in.
If you uninstall the Facebook app, reinstall it, and this time around don't "sync With Gallery" at the very start, they wont show up, but you'll have the option later if you do want them for some reason. :p
