Hello. I have this smartphone since couple of days. Today I bouht a microSD Card TDK 16GB. The phone found the card, but I was unable to read or write on the card. I tried the card with MicroSD Card Reader and the card worked fine. I also tried to put my old MicroSD Card from my old phone on the Xperia L. The old card is Apacer 8GB with two partitions. The first is for storage and the second is for Applications linked with Link2SD. The Xperia L found only the second partition (for the apps), but I was able to write on the card and also read from it. I tried to format the new MicroSD Card from Windows and from the phone - no results. Then I updated the phone from PC Companion. There was a new firmware, I think. The Android version is the same 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The SD stared to work on the phone. I can read and write on the card. I decided to install iGo navigation. All ok, but when I put the maps on, the application starts to crash and says, that there is an error in the maps. The maps however work fine, because I have tested them on my older phone. Then I installed iGo on the internal memory of the phone (SDCard0 - that are saying ES File Explorer and Astro File Manager for the Internal Memory and the SD Card is SDCard1) and the Navigation now is working fine. Is there a problem with the phone or with the MicroSD Card? Separately they both work fine. I tried the MicroSD Card with other files - music, pictures, videos - all is working fine, but I have problem with the Navigation. What do you think? Is there a problem somewhere? Why I can't run iGo from the MicroSD Card? Is this a Software or a Hardware problem? Is the problem from the Phone or from the MicroSD Card? Is there a problem at all?

I have heard that older versions of firmware had issues with some cards and do not have the latest.
I'm using the latest and I have no problem with any card.
You are using version 15.0.A.2.17?
If not install it and see if the problem persists.
I found out, what was the problem with the iGo and the MicroSD Card. I tried GTA Vice City too. I need Root to be able to move the files from the internal memory to the SD Card. Now however I have another BIG problem. With the new firmware 15.0.A.2.17 I have the Walkman player problem. With the older I didn't have this problem. Now the player can't play proper the songs. I tried all. The tipp from Sony : Deleting the songs, format the SD Card from the phone, copy the songs - no results. I also tried to put the songs on the internal memory - same problem. I reseted the phone from PC Companion and the problem is still on. Any solutions for that?
Strange that.
I have no problem with the Walkman. Have you tried flashing the firmware for FlashTool?
Could you help me on one thing, you would have an MHL adapter with an HDMI cable to test the Xperia L is able to be passed the image to tv?
15.0.A.2.17 firmware fixed Class 10 SD card problem for me.
You can also try to format the card on another phone. I did it with my SGAce and it works! I also formatted in XL just in case, but it recognised the card after the Ace formatting.

wait did you just say that you were able to write on your sd card so is that equivalent of moving apps from internal storage to a sd card because I am not able to do that the thing is I have a xperia l and i just bought a kingston 16 gb sd card the phone reads that there is an sd card .... it also allows me to transfer pictures and videos and music ..... actually it forces me to do it cuz my phones internal storage is too low but i can not move apps into it. So can you please help me out ive no idea why this is not working and if you have an xperia l and you are using a sd card please help me out.
Hi everyone
I bought a lg g pad 7.0 a few days ago and have been facing an issue. My last tablet was a rooted nook tablet running 4.2.2 my new tablet is one 4.4.2 and ive heard it has something to do with the multiple user ability they added. anyway i only have 5 gb of internal storage and a empty 32gb sd card, for some reason there is an emulated sd card called storage/sdcard0
and my actual sd card is storage/ext-sd. i need to find out if there is a way to change default app install location or if i can delete the emulated partition and use it like jellybean.
btw i rooted using purple drake and it works just fine(except for the sd card)
Id appreciate any advice or help as this is very frustrating

The app that you tried might not be supporting the s5 clone.
So i would recommend you to uninstall that app and then reboot your phone.
There is a change that your problem might be fixed.
did factory reset and didn't help
thank you so much for replay any way that didnt help
i flash new rom or the phone it turn up the same old rom and problem fixed
now i lost the imie how do i restore the imie please
Hi
Just recently rooted my galaxy s7 with stock rom so I could use TB to restore my apps and data.
That part all works fine however I noticed that my Samsung 64gb SD card is no longer working on my s7. The card used to be in my s4 and worked fine in there when I first popped the card into my s7 I could see all my data but during root process I think it became corrupted so I formatted the SD card inside the stock rom under storage and whilst it works fine on the phone it does not appear in windows. I have tried both my windows 7 laptop and windows 10 desktop and it only identifies the on board storage. I have Installed the latest Samsung drivers and can see that it picks it up without issue however and no point does it pick up the SD card except if I unmount it on the phone and remount it however then in windows it only appears with a size of 128mb!
I have also got the latest version of twrp installed and tried to format it within there and set it to ext4 but still not picked up in Windows. The size on the phone for the SD card is correct and I can write files to it without issue.
Has anyone else seen this weird issue before? I need to use the SD card to copy my backup files so I can point tb to the SD card so I can restore some apps.
AFAIK the card is working fine as in both phone and if I use an sdxc card adapter it reads the card without issue on the laptop and pc.
Please if anyone has seen this issue please advise? I literally tried everything I can think off without any avail
Many thanks

Hi,
I have the 8Gb version of the Galaxy J5 (SM-J500Y) and am experiencing the same problem of low internal memory that everyone else seems to be. I have a 64Gb micro SD but my computer is not recognising an SD card in the built-in SD card reader (nor does it recognise the internal camera but that's a separate issue- since windows 10 upgrade)
After doing a little research, I think I understand that MiniTool Partition Wizard should see the SD card when USB linked if it is first rooted (I could be wrong). Other option is I could go buy a card reader or get the reader working. Tips welcome.
Either way it needs to be rooted before I can use Link2SD. As I understand it, I can root the thing, but only from Android 5.1.x builds. I tried rooting it from Android 6.1 and killed it. Was able to resuscitate it with the Kies App, but can only recover it to the latest Android (6.1)... so I end up at square one: unrooted and not able to root.
How do I get it working in Android 5.1.x so I can root it? How can I partition the SD card (preferably by getting the internal reader working)? And then which is the best ROM to flash? I'm leaning toward the Cyanogenmod 12.1 I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468830 mostly because it seems stable and lite.
Help please. TIA
Anyone?
Even a little help to get me started would be awesome...
