Every 51 or 52 records - write failed: EBADF

Vote count:

I have an Android App that reads records from 1 file and writes them to another file. On my Galaxy S4, it works fine. On my Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and older Nexus phone, it fails when writing after a few thousand records, and then go into a pattern of failing every 51 or 52 records. The error message I get is write failed: EBADF (Bad file number). I am lost as to why this always works on 1 device but fails consistently on my tablet and old Nexus phone. It strange (to me) that once I hit the first failure on the write statement, it goes into a pattern of writing the next 51 or 52 records before having the EBADF error again. Any ideas on what is causing the problem?

                    int saveSegmentCounter=0;
                    while (ACCTime<=ACCTimeArray[ACCendPointer] && eofACC==false) {
                        //Log.d(tag, "Map3-1 doTrimFiles - lineACC="+lineACC);
                        //write the new ACC record
                        try {
                            fACCWriter.write(lineACC+"\n"); //why does this fail sometimes???
                            saveSegmentCounter++;
                            //Log.d(tag, "Map3 doTrimFiles Try when writing ACC number "+saveSegmentCounter);
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            Log.d(tag, "Map3 doTrimFiles Catch when writing ACC number "+saveSegmentCounter); //Fails every 54 or 53 records???
                            Log.d(tag, "Map3 e.getmessage: "+ e.getMessage()); //Fails every 54 or 53 records???
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        ReadACCFile(null); //read the next acc record
                    }

The stacktrace produces:
