Samsung often supports it, and Sony apparently did (for your Xperia Z3, at least), but HTC may not. | |
| Feb 11, 2015 at 13:51 | comment | added | luca | I fear you are right. No support for anything else than FAT32. Nevertheless I recently managed to format a SD card as exFAT and make it recognized on a sony xperia z3 android 4.4.4. In that case formatting with the Windows tool and MiniTool PartitionWizard did not work while formatting with MAC did work. So I hoped that finding the magic formatting parameters I can still make it working. Or maybe is my phone and it's android version the cause of the problem? | |
