This thread is the one stop to all problems we have so far faced with our Xperia L,Basically it's a FAQ
Q.1:My Xperia L has a BatteryDrain issue.
Yes,that's a common problem in most of our devices,Jelly bean is known for battery drains
Q.2.The Notification light is not multicolored?
The LED light is multi colored, but for notifications(Messages,facebook,whatsapp) we get only a whitish purple light,while for calls we get red or a color depending on your theme
Tell me what all to add up more

For longer battery life, use Wakelock Detector app to find out the heavy-on-battery apps.
Then one can try the Snapdragon BatteryGuru app by Qualcomm (just dont forget to add your most needed apps to the whitelist).
Also, STAMINA mode provided by Sony is quite good, here too, dont forget to whitelist your most used apps.
Battery life should be good with these apps watching the battery-hungry apps!
I'm able to sail through the day easily, with around 18 hours backup - can go beyond 24 hours sometimes, depends on the day. Of course, the results will be different for everyone depending on the apps you whitelist.
Same here, these days my phone lasts for 30 hours.I'm not a heavy user
Just whatsapp,music,little browsing.Day ends with 65-70%(As 8 hours stand by after removing from charger at 7 AM )
Any more Normal problems?
(1)Does the XPERIA L support 32GB Class10 MicroSD cards?
(2)Does the XPERIA L provide on the go (OTG) USB support?
Can I plug a 32GB USB flash drive into the USB/MHL port?

Xperia L supports 32GB class 10 SD card, that's written on Sony's website. It could probably support 64GB SD card if it is like the Xperia Z.
I did not see any option concernin OTG. Maybe is it possible, I don't know.

Cool, but does it say Class10? It may say 32GB MicroSD cards and we assume class10, but is that a correct assumption.
The Sony XPERIA L white paper only refers to 32GB MicroSD cards and this could be Class4 or Class6.
I've read posts on Sony talk where many people have not been able to use their existing class10 16-32GB MicroSD cards.
But maybe, it could be just a format/cluster size issues on the card and not a general class10 MicroSD card issue.
Anybody have a 16-32GB Class10 MicroSD successfully working in their XPERIA L?
I only have class10 32GB and above cards.
I have a class10 UHS-I 64GB MicroSD card in my XPERIA X10i
Hmmm, OTG USB is a bit of a worry and the sooner someone plugs a flash drive into their XPERIA L and verifies a successful USB/MHL connection the better.
Logitech USB 2.4GHz Unifying mouse/keyboard connection would probably be hoping for too much, but if possible, that'd be brilliant.
Considering buying an XPERIA L and just ticking a few boxes.
Thank you for your input.

I have heard reports that you can't use a card > 16Gb in the tablet but that's unconfirmed AFAIK.
I've also heard rumours that the keyboard's full-size SD card slot will take SDXC format cards which supports >32Gb capacity but again I've seen no confirmation of that.
I am snapping this up as soon as it's released here.
Questions on the storage:
1-As mentioned above, is this confirmed that the tablet microSD won't accept anything larger than 8GB?
2- If i get the dock and say I have a 16gb microsd card in the tablet and 32gb sd card in the dock, i should be able to access BOTH of these from the tablet (while docked) correct? So theoretically, I would have 16GB-built in flash on tablet + 16GB microsd card on tablet + 32GB SD card in dock = 64GB?
3-I just want to find out if by docking the tablet, the tablet storage just acts like another drive?
Thanks

1- Even though I have the original manual here as a pdf, there's no info on what is the maximum size of SD card in the tablet slot.
2- I'm 99% sure that it's like that. Everything else would be stupid because many android applications store data on the (tablet) sd card.
3- yes, quite sure it does.
As a plus, you can use the USB 2.0 ports to add external hard drives.
Quote from manual:
USB Port (2.0)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing devices, flash disk drive and hard disk drives.

There's a way to use USB host without the dock? I don't want to buy the keyboard because i've already got a 13" notebook for mobility, i just need a tablet but the USB host is necessary for me.

Thanks for the reply!
In that case, I can't wait to get this tablet what a great concept, best of both worlds. No need to buy a case, just shut the lid and you can carry it on travel without worrying too much just like a laptop, with all the various expandability options, no need to worry about HDD space either.
When combined with dock, it actually has 2 3.5mm sockets, which means I can use 1 device and myself and my wife can watch the same thing with 2 headphones and not worry about viewing angles thanks to the IPS screen...
So long as the 16GB tablet+dock comes in at around $500 or less, I am good...!

Did you by any chance find out what is the maximum capacity of the microSD card that can be used in the tablet?
I have a 16Gb class 10 installed and working perfect. I'm just thinking to purchase one of 64Gb and I'm not sure it will work.
There is no rated max capacity, I've see people who put 128GB cards in there (NTFS formatted) that work fine.
That's great news. I'll try to find a good deal on a 64Gb card and use it with my Transformer
Does anyone know if we can connect an external USB drive to the TF101 without the dock? Thanks.

Had some problems trying SD cards and MicroSD cards for the Infinity/Prime docks/tablet. Thought I would share them so others could also update and post their compatibility issues.
PNY 16GB (MicroSD) / 32GB (SD) Pro-Elite: Status: Incompatible: Formated with Fat32/NTFS and exFAT. All three had no problems reading from the card however writing any files completely locked the tablet up at the 90MB mark causing it to force reboot. Tried 2 cards purchased from Best Buy (16GB and 32GB) on both my Prime and Infinity tablets/docks both had these issues. Card is rated for 35MB write however I found no circumstance using my PC to copy files to where I got over 10-11MB/sec. Read sat at around 21MB/sec.
Sandisk Ultra 32GB (MicroSD, (Docked with MicroSD Adapter)): Status: Compatible: Formated with Fat32/NTFS and exFAT. All three work great reading and writing on the tablet. Writes were a steady 22MB+, Reads just as good. I assume once the I/O bottleneck is fixed this will improve, as it sits on the PC I get around 30-40MB write, 55+MB read (burst). Writing a 3GB file ~ 15-20MB wite.
I should mention I was using a USB 3.0 card reader to read/write when testing on the PC.
Please update this thread with your cards you have tried so others like me will not have to return to BestBuy 3 times to finally get a compatible card.
Thanks!
Might the incompatibility be caused by card class?

It is possible however I have not tried any other cards from any other brands.
The PNY is listed as: SDHC Class 10, UHS-1
The SanDisk is listed as: SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 so they seem to be exactly the same class.

I do not know how you formatted it, and which filesystem(s) your phone supports. I'd set out my question in the Experia forum(s).
I bought a 64GB Samsung microSDXC UHS-I card pro class 10
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-micro-UHS-1-Class-Galaxy/dp/B00AK31M3G
And it works great, havent had a problem with it, I tested it through a sd card slot with sd card adapter and I got a constant 16-17 mb/s write speed with files bigger than 5 gb. I also tried formatting in exFAT and NTFS, and both work.
I hope this clears up some doubts about UHS-I cards. Or at least doubts about this card.
I also bought the SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card includes an SD adapter and use that on my TF700 without any issues at all.
I have connected it both directly in the SD slot and also via the adaptor via the OTG dongle into the USB slot as a 2nd memory card.
Both have worked reall well, so am surprised the card is not working for some.

I just got my SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 from amazon today, worked out of the package and then reformated to exFAT and worked also. Haven't do much else with it but so far so good.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Micro...8&qid=1365569881&sr=8-1&keywords=microsd+64gb
For an SD card I picked up a Polaroid 64GB SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 for $32 a couple weeks ago (was going to get a SanDisk as well but for $20 off figured I'd give it a shot and it had some nice write/read speeds), worked out of the box on my dock and did the formats. Rght now I've got it filled up with 60gb of movies for an upcoming trip and everything seems to be working fine as well.

I am currently using 64G Samsung in my TF700t. It works perfectly fine with the original format extFAT. I reformated it with FAT32 and Ext4 for Data2SD. I don't have any problem so far.

I got the Samsung UHS-1 from Amazon as well, tested it and I am very happy with this investment of $65. Now when I do a TWRP backup, it finishes in 212 seconds for 1850 MB, averaging 8.7MB per second. When I copy files over from a PC, using the Silicon Power USB 3.0 card reader which is UHS-1 compatible, I constant have a write speed of 14.5 MB/s and the Read speed is over 27 MB/s.
They advertise to have a read speed of 70 and write speed of 20 though.
Your pc probably just cant go any faster .
I'm using two 64gb SanDisk SDXC class 10 in NTFS format, and two Medion (aldi) 32 gb class 6 in NTFS.
All four work perfectly well. But they are only used for storing media.

I use SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB UHS card as my Data2SD card. Formatted with FAT32 and ext2. NTFS works fine too. But be aware that ext 4 with Data2SD on this card might cause some trouble. I had a lot of freezes and random reboots with Data2SD as long as I used ext4 format. Now I formatted to ext2 and so far I had no freezes nor reboots.
Comp Addable!

Compatible! :good:Samsung 32 GB IHS? Class 10 MicroSD with adapter $22.99 at Frys in Houston
Hi there!
Is the Xperia Tipo compatible with 64GB Sd Cards?
Officially there will be just Cards up to 32GB supported, but in other devices with the same note 64 GB Cards work.
Has anybody ever tried?
memory card will work and show 64 gigs capacity but your phone may slowdown due to increased time in media scanning.

Taken off the Meenova website:
Due to hardware and software limitations of many Android devices -- especially older ones, compatibility with devices not listed here can't be guaranteed.
Samsung: Galaxy S5, S4, S3, S2, S4 Active, Note 3, Note 2, Note, Mega; Galaxy Tab S
Judging from that I would say you'd be perfectly fine, and common sense was telling me before looking it up that you'd be fine.
I can't think of a single modern device that doesn't support OTG, and all OTG devices pretty much work the same.
The only question is whether it supports NTFS or not, but hey... Just format the MicroSD card with FAT32 and you won't have any worries at all.
My recommendation: Go for it :highfive:

It should work for storage sizes up to 2TB. If the S6 can't power a HD over OTG cable, you can get a special OTG cable that lets you add the necessary power from another source.
Hi,
Just a suggestion here, instead of doing it manually by using card and card reader you can do it on the fly you can use sidesync app or smart switch or any other app.
Just install on both phones fire it up on both phones and choose send. It will show you a list of all the content by type and category! Choose whatever you want move and hit send and now on the receiving phone click receive and it'll either create or ask you to join a network u can connect it on send phone by choosing the receiving phone in the "found connection within the app. You will see it start sending files and on the other they'll start coming in. I it is pretty fast too. I have about 40 gigs on my extra and around 20 in internal loads of mp3 which didn't take long. you can check it out. there's even an app by Jio called Jio Switch which does the same. No more downtime and no attachments needed?.
Works!!! I use mine through a SANDISK Wireless USB Flashdrive-(it has a micro-SD slot) out through an OTG & it has been performing flawlessly! You should have no problems with it, but I would make sure it's formated to ExFat or ExFat32 just to make sure it reads....
Does our smartphone support that capacity? I need more for long hd video
Thank in advance
Well they recommend 32GB I've not tested it with 64 gigs
-removed-
I can personally confirm the Xperia M2 does support Micro SDXC UHS-I cards, tecnically of up to 128GB, but I'm not too sure about that.
In my case, my Samsung MicroSDXC Professional of 64GB works quite well for 1080p recordings, almost no wait time. Write Speed of something less than 40MB/s, Read Speed of up to 50MB/s, limited by our phone's Micro SD adapter, as in my PC via USB 3.0 adapters I get up to 90MB/s of Read and 80MB/s of write.
The card is standard formated in NTFS i think...
1. Format your 64GB SDXC to FAT32 on your pc.
2. Then insert it and your Xperia will detect your sdcard.
I used this card in my M2 Aqua: SAMSUNG 64GB MICRO SD EVO UHS-I CLASS 10 48MB/S (formated to fat32)
