Android: File working in Emulator but giving error in Device?

Question

I am just trying to upload file to server through the code it working fine if I access file from Emulator,

path data/app/07312012_135528.3gp and gets server response 200, OK

but when I access file to upload through Device is gives error 400, Bad Request while file is present in SDCard and it passes the File.exists() check.

My Phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace

HttpPost postRequest = new HttpPost(ServerURL);
MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
File dir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File yourFile = new File(dir, "tdsongdata/07312012_135528.3gp");
// path becomes "/mnt/sdcard/tdsongdata/07312012_135528.3gp"

if(yourFile.exists())
{
    reqEntity.addPart("email", new StringBody("[email protected]"));
    reqEntity.addPart("password", new StringBody("123"));
    reqEntity.addPart("title", new StringBody("The new file"));         
    reqEntity.addPart("musicData", new FileBody(yourFile));
}

But When I try to play it from the same path in Device it plays the Audio successfully

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
try {
        mp.setDataSource("/mnt/sdcard/tdsongdata/07312012_135528.3gp");
    mp.prepare();
    mp.start(); 
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

I could not understand where the problem is, please help

If you get a different HTTP status code, the problem should be on your server. — Lukas Knuth

Change your phone language to English (United States). Reboot your Device and try again.

Any chance you could explain why this is a solution? I'm curious how language affects his problem.
