Greetings everybody! Once again, i need your valuable help in resolving a problem which appeared to my girlfriend's device:
She has bought Sony Xperia L a couple of days ago and she is very satisfied with everything, except from a VERY ANNOYING bug:When she places music files to the internal storage, the phone plays them fine, without any problems. When she places the MP3 files to her external SD though, parts of different songs blend with the one that is already playing.
Let me give you an example:
We have track A, track B and Track C. Instead of the phone playing the whole track and then move to the next one, it will instead play the first few minutes of track A, then switch to the middle of Track C, then switch back to Track A, then switch to Track B and so forth. The strange think is, that the name of Track A is displayed, as if the playback progressed normaly.
I would really appreciate it if you could enlighten us, since both my girlfriend and me are very dissapointed
Thank you in advance

Have you tried killing the app process? If not, please do try. This problem is quite rare.

You might wanna be a bit more detailed than that, when you're trying to give a solution to someone new. She may not know how to go about doing that.
Anyways back on topic now. If you're referring to force stopping the process( not sure if that's what you meant) , that can be done by going into, Settings > Apps > Walkman, from here you can force stop the process. You might also wanna clear app data and cache, hope that solves it.
If not I wonder if it's a problem with your girlfriend's SD card
Don't worry that's ok. Even if she doesn't know how to do it, i can do it for her, I am very familiar with android after all . I did all of the above yesterday, we formated the SD AGAIN and we transfered 10 random songs via usb for testing, everything is fine so far. I will keep you updated on future progress

I really don't know why this is happening. Have you tried what I said ? clearing cache/data your boyfriend should know how to do that. Or the problem could be associated with your sd card, try getting a different one hopefully that might solve the problem.
Well I did all of the above for her and the problem is still there, that's the point Should I try factory resetting her handset today?
Could it be that android has developed a bug that will eventually be ironed out? I really am at loss... Even though I have had android for years, it is the first time i come across this kind of problem. If I am not able to do anything, the next stop is the Sony Service Center.
Such a shame, considering that the device is brand new and unmodified. No rooting, no custom roms, absolutely stock.
i think u should try reflashing the firmware dude

Good thought, but since that is a whole other story on its own, i prefer to leave it as a last resort. Many thanks for the answer though!
Edit: As we found out, the phone has problem with the images as well. It seems that the phone won't write the image to the SD properly, as blank spaces appear horizontally throughout the whole image . The conclusion i can form is, that the phone has problems writing files to the SD card. Today i am going to find if the issue is software or harware related.
Hello it's Darkson's girlfriend again. Today I and Darkson were sent to a technician, because none of the solutions worked at all... The technician swapped SD's with one of his and put all folders I had in the pc (music,photos), in a folder called DCIM. Everything till now, is going well. Although, Darkson tells me that DCIM is the Camera Images folder, so the rest of the folders must be moved to the root directory of the card. Should I move them outside the DCIM folder and rename them according to the content (Image, Music etc.) or this will make the problem reappear?
PS: The SD that the phone was having problems with works fine with my tablet and other mobile phones

You should just move them to the root of the SD card. It should solve the problem. Or you could just backup the contents in the SD card and reformat the SD card. Then move the folders in the DCIM to the root of the SD card.
Sent from my C2105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I agree with you, but the strange thing is that the phone is working normally since the technician set up the above configuration. Is there any possibility, that moving the folders on the root directory will make the issue resurface?
When I asked the technician why he pasted all the folders into DCIM and not just on the root directory, he replied that he is doing it in order to stress the phone's proccesor and SD reader and therefore test its reading speed and stability. Basically i find this to be nonsense, but i would certainly like to have your opinion about it. (Darkson)
PS: My girlfriend forgot to mention that the repairman returned the phone to us with HIS SD inside, providing it as "a gift" for what we have been through.
PS#2: Formatting the card won't create all of the necessary folders, only Music, Playlist and the two capability files.

the technician is right, he is trying to see if there is anything wrong with reading/writing to SD card. DCIM gets read much more then rest of the card. Don't declare guy stupid just becouse you don't get what he is trying to do.
If you using an old firmware, that will be the culprit. I also experience that when I was on 1.36... But upon flashing 2.17 it is gone... Pictures have those crazy color lines on my pictures when it was saved in SD card... The same with the song mixup

The firmware was updated to the latest version available, and still the issue occured. I think that the phone is very picky when it comes to SD cards and works only with certain brands and classes
Flashing a fresh firmware will fix your problem.. If not claim for device chanfe its sd bay problem( hardware)

Hello, after installed Locations from Programs in my DHD my sdcard died, not instant but after a while maybe 12 hours. I have 1.72.405 update.. It was new years night so i dont remember to much
But then it just started to say: "No sd card mounted" or something.
Then i tried to put it in another phone the card is dead there to.
Then in a computer using an adapter, no success there either.
So is my card 100% dead or is it any chance of getting my data back, i was stupid and didn't have backup, to late now but you learn of ur misstakes.
Sry for wall of text, this is Short version
sdcard died a few hours after installing locations
no device founds it
help....
Loads of problems with this at the moment, everyones SD cards seem to be slowly dying since the recent update. The SD card isn't recognised in any other phone/computer as you say so the likelyhood of getting anything off it is slim.
Someone here has apparently spoken to HTC about it who have confirmed there is an issue with the new update which affects the unmounting of the SD card. The only thing they recomend is sending it back to HTC who will flash the phone back to the previous version.
I spoke to HTC myself the other day and managed to get them to send me another SD card - might be worth doing that. A factory reset doesn't work by the way, complete waste of time.
HTC phone number for UK is 0845 8900079 or 01279 206906 (same line, just not premium rate).
Take a look at these threads for people with same problem...

So if i buy a new card and havent send my phone to htc for them to flash the phone to the update before 1.72.405 the new card will brake?
I did go to the place i bougt the phone and they did say that the warranty didnt cover attachments so if i want a new card i need to send the phone and the card to repair, and the company that handels repair for most big electronic stores in sweden is the worst in the world.
How fast is htc at downflashing the phone?
I live in sweden if it has anything to do with how fast they are..

I've just replaced the SD card myself and havent had any further problems, everything has been fine since. No one else seems to have had any further problems either after replacing the card. I wouldn't bother sending the phone to be repaired, as I'm pretty sure it's just the SD card corrupted by the recent update somehow, not the actual phone.
In short, just get a new SD card, off HTC if possible. The number for customer services can be found here... htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx

My card has just gone down as well for no apparent reason - the phone was working fine and then the card stopped being recognised - I hadn't done anything with it.
I'm running 1.72.405.3.
Is there any way to recover the data from the card?
I fitted a 32Gb card over Christmas and that died within hours of being fitted which I thought was down to a faulty card although now I'm wondering if it is down to the HTC update.
So I guess the key questions are:
1. Are HTC going to be releasing a fix for this?
2. I have a new 32Gb card on the way - what are the chances of preventing that from being killed?

No.
I did take some photos off via pc connection last night connecting to it as a disk drive, but that is it.
I also have some apps installed onto it, but wasn't using any of them when it failed - I just turned the phone on to check email and it was giving an SD error or Insert SD card message - can't remember which and am trying to dig through logs to find out.

Called HTC last day about my sd card, gave them all the details they wanted and they told me that they will send me further info about if and when the new sd card can be sent. Hopefully they will understand and send me a new one.. No message so far though...
i had that problem with my kingston 16gb class 10, when i flashed a custom sense rom (but it was older base 1.32.xxx.xx) the sdcard died on me after rebooted. tried everything i could do to bring it back. so i left it for about week an decided to try it again...and it worked!! so maybe leave it awhile and try it again.
Hi basic question regarding my internal sdcard.
Im having an issue and was told I should format my sdcard (I dont have an external sd).
I hooked my phone up via USB and opened it with windows explorer. I see my device and see "Internal Storage", which contains every folder within it. I dont see something specific for "sdcard" and Im unsure how to find it. Is the entire "Internal Storage" folder what Im looking for? Is that what I should completely back up on pc, format and then repopulate? Im nervous about bricking the phone so want to confirm this...
Thanks.
The internal memory is the sd card referred to. You will lose all of your data.

So here's what happened. Last Sunday I go on my phone to see a no sd message in the notification tray. So i try to remount the card, no dice. I try to take it out and put it back in, no dice. I try rebooting, no dice. I try many different computers and an og droid. You guessed it, no dice! I thought I was out an SD card, and was kinda annoyed, but no biggie - it only had music, which I have backed up to my PC and Google Music. So I just left the card in my GS3 and put it aside for an hour. Then, when I go back to it to check a text, i think what the hell, why not. So I check the storage options, and there it is: SD card, 10 gigs free of 31.52. I have no clue what happened. From what I can tell, it died, and came back from the dead. The card works just fine, no data loss, no music skips, and no bad sectors according to windows. Has anyone had anything similar happen? additionally, can someone provide an explanation? I really want to know what the living hell happened.

I had the same exact thing happen to me this past Sunday morning. Not sure what caused it or why. To be safe, I replaced the ext SD card as this is where I keep my ROM backups. The only strange thing is that where I kept my original backup in mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup via ROM Manager it now says UnbrickSDFileLocation. Anyone else have this issue or know of a way to fix it? Is it safe to delete this file which is in place of my original backup? Other than this issue my phone is running normally. Running CM 10.1 latest build & using TWRP instead of CWM.

Look it up in accessors, you guys have the Defective Sandisk Micro SD that gives a problem with the S3! Sandisk will replace it for free!
my sd card died with its 30gb memories but your post made me smile. hah really cool story
Let's try to keep all Q&A's for this tablet in one thread for now. Wonder if I should drop tips here too?
Autocreates junk files
ONE folder gets filled with junk files which renders the entire tablet almost unusable. I can't even delete the files.
All I can do is to shut down the tablet, connect the SD to a pc and backup all files, EXCEPT the backup folder as it's corrupted.
My tablet is running on Android 4.1.x (it DOES say "x" in the phone info) stock rom with root access.
It's ONLY folders called something with "Backup", like "Backups" and "TitaniumBackup" that have been affected so far.
It's also only the folder with that name on my EXTERNAL SD that's affected.
Several virus scans have been performed which came up clean.
I even wiped the entire unit including System/data/cache, also to no avail.
This issue happens MORE than once per day. The tablet gets very sluggish, and the files are there.
I found out that when I did NOT have a folder with "backup" in it, then it runs for days with no issues.
Note that I also have a phone (LG Optimus 2X) which have NO problems. The phone uses a rooted Android 4.2.2 custom rom.
I attached a dual screenshot showing a clean folder and one full of junk. Note dates for creation.
Anyone have any ideas as to what causes it?
Further testing shows that other folders are ALSO affected, but ONLY folders containing Titanium Backup Pro backup files.
Even more testing shows that even if I try to use a sub-sub folder, then it still happens.
I even tried using a folder name containing spaces and danish national letters:
"/mnt/external_sd/Titanium/Sikkerhedskopier/Håber at denne mappe virker/"
Still get the junk files, as seen on the screenshot.
Note the reported size and date of the files.
Dates seem very random, and although all file managers shows the SDCard is almost empty,
then the files put together adds up to much more than the 16GB the card is in size. So something is NOT right.
I have also noted that I can delete SOME of them with Root Explorer, but as soon as I do a refresh then new files are already made.
Logcat only shows files deleted, but not added.
I could REALLY use some help with this.
FURTHER testing shows the files are ONLY created when Titanium Backup Pro is set to do regular backups, so I am beginning to suspect it's a combination of my tablet AND Titanium that is the cause.
I have noticed my tablet kills the menu at what to ME is random intervals.
It doesn't matter if I even USE the tablet, just as long as it's on.
Anyone have an idea what might be the cause and maybe how to fix it?
I have attached an alogcat file, from a point where it happened.
I WANTED to attach it, but it seems like I am not allowed... can't even use smilies????
Managed to attach the logcat that failed the other day.
Must admit that I an beginning to wonder if I just write for my self, or somebody is actually READING this?

Odd thing is that when I don't set Titanium Backup schedule then I don't get junk files.
But the tablet still write protect the SD card at random intervals. Even when Titanium Backup isn't installed.

TIP!
How to add GPS functionality to the tablet using an Android phone:
1. Download "Bluetooth GPS" from Google Play to the tablet.
2. Download "GPS over BT" from Google Play to the phone.
3. Pair the two devices.
4. Start up the programs and connect from the tablet to the phone.
This has been tested with a 4.2.3 phone and a 4.1.x tablet.

I don't have mine in hand yet, should have sometime next week and will defiantly let you know how it goes when I get it, still learning the Android OS, have had a Nexus 7 for a little over a year now, and a HTC Evo 4G LTE for some months now, so this tablet was purchased just for the 10" screen for reading and have sold my Nexus waiting for the 7-2 (STILL)..
I had links to both, but still can't post URL's yet, sorry
Eh what were you thinking about then, when talking about Google Play Store?
I want to help when I can
Update: Early morning here so...
It's not the Xelio10Pro you are getting?

Well, I got it yesterday sideloaded the Play Store and several other apps & apk's with no issues, it seems to be a very light a sleek little tablet with no bloatware at all, I really want to like this tablet but the LCD screen is just awful. I really wish I could adjust contrast or something more then just brightness, the glossy face on it and the res just make it really hard to read or look at any sort of pictures, to just read text isn't bad but with pics it just has such a glare and brightness it's just weird to explain. I had already ordered some generic 10.1" tablet screen protectors and they should be here in a few days, so I am really hoping that they are a little bit matte and it'll help or fix the glare issue as I really want to like this tablet.
I know how you feel.
I generally have issues with the touch sensitivity, but have gotten used to it now.
I also noticed the reflection from the screen, which is pretty bad. Makes the tablet useless in sunlight. Hope you can give some good news on that when you get the cover.
It IS good as an ebook reader as long as your surroundings isn't too bright.
I also think it is quite powerful, considering the price.

I have been in contact with Odys support with a few questions.
They told me that they will NOT update the tablet. Not even to 4.2.2. They claim it requires too much of the hardware,
even though I told them I have a phone with only one fourth the memory of the tablet and a smaller CPU running 4.2.2 smoothly.
It seems like they have decided to solve all problems with a standard answer: reflash the stock firmware.
They even told me to do that AFTER I told them I already tried that.

I decided NOT to use my external SD card after the last two restores to factory default (including full flash of factory firmware).
First time after that restore, I installed Titanium Backup Pro, and set up a schedule as always.
This resulted in my INTERNAL SD card became read-only.
Only way to fix that was another firmware flash.
I then decided NOT to install Titanium Backup Pro again.
The tablet has been working perfectly ever since.

OFFICIAL FIRMWARE PACKAGE FROM ODYS:
The manual is in german though.
If someone can/want to translate that to english for me then I'll add it to the package.

First, thanks a lot for your monologue
And no, you're not the only person with this tablet. And this was the only place where I found firmware... thanks so much for uploading this, helped me a lot as I nearly bricked my tab while rooting it. Now after flashing it with the new FW, everything works smooth again And this without contacting Odys, and late on a saturday night, perfect, made my day!
Btw., I have the same issue with the huge Titanium Backup folder... :/
Now that I know that I am not alone, then I have this to say:
You are all welcome to post your experiences with this tablet (both good and bad)

Hi everyone,
Starters: Phone is entirely stock, 64 GB San Disk SD Card
So starting yesterday, whenever I copy a new file (mostly mp3's) to my SD card and go to play it off my phone, they are not working. When I go back onto my computer and look up the file it's gone! I've never seen anything like this before. All the files on my SD card that were there before yesterday are still working normally. The mp3s on my internal storage are also working properly.
A separate but potentially related issue is that recently, when I take pictures they show up in my gallery at first, but then they come up as corrupted a few minutes later and then they are gone completely. They are saved to my internal storage. This is not happening 100% of the time.
I'm not sure what's going on with my phones storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !

Are you sure your 64 gig card is legit? Sorta sounds like what happens to the fake ones...Once you hit the magic number (maybe 8 gigs) it starts overwriting.

I'm sure it's legit. It's a sandisk directly from Amazon themselves. Also, I'm well passed 30 gbs and it's not overwriting it's just deleting the new files altogether.

That wouldn't delete the files, would it?
I tend towards your first hunch... Amazon does sell fakes. Never get the "frustration free packaging"!
