Are you sure yours supports exFAT?Can you maybe connect it to computer and check again?

@xsp252 - There is not a lot I can tell you sorry as according to all the information I can locate on this the Xperia SP does not support the exfat format. Even the white paper for the Xperia SP does not mention this format whereas the Xperia Z2 does.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Probably the white paper was written when the SP launched with Android 4.1, which doesn't support exFat, while Android 4.3 does, so all phones that launched with Android 4.3 are reported as compatible with exFat while the SP is not.

Note that I can't test this assumption as I am a UK customer with an unbranded phone and therefore Sony doesn't think that the money they got from me is good enough for an update to 4.3.

How did you format it? From the computer/with a program?
