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?
15.0.A.2.17 firmware fixed Class 10 SD card problem for me.

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.
