Hello all,
Can somebody confirm that I have a fail Galaxy Note with the following:
1. I cannot play files such as MKV and MP4 which placed directly to my external SD card
2. Those files (MKV/MP4) have to be imported by KIES to my Note to play
3. I have the same problem as describes as in this thread
Thanks!
Download Moboplayer from the market and you should be able to view the files
Didn't help.
I forgot to say: I only can play videofiles which are imported via KIES to internal SD card. Files imported to my external SD card I cannot play! This is so stupid. I think my Note is defect....can somebody confirm this....?
Try players. File size should be less than 4 GB of course.

If you can play MKV with Moboplayer and I couldn't, so my phone is defect, isn't it?

Your card may be defective or worse, a fake. Try testing another card or try loading a very small video file in your current card like maybe a 5-mb video first and see if that works.
i use dice player
mp4 play fine without any issues on the stock
how are you actually transferring the files? are you using usb mode or kies software?
There should not be any need for a 3rd party player for MKV's and MP4's what error does it give you when you play those files?
#4 is caused by a software issue which may or may not be fixed any time soon, some notes dont have this issue.
It gives an error that the format of the file isn't supported.
bet your not letting the files copy over fully and the files are not complete. Are you sure you are letting the mkvs fully finish copying they will take a while because they are normally in excess of 1 GB

Again how are you transferring the files?

If using USB storage, don't forget to do "Safely remove USB drive", because sometimes files don't get copied completely before you eject...
instead of using samsung kies, why not use the usb mode of the note?
a lot less hassle compared to kies.

Plus it's WAY quicker!
Maybe try downloading a video file with the internet app on your phone? You might have some strange filetype codecs

I've tried all the things you described. Even with the USB mode it doesn't work on the Note when I safely disconnect the USB connection. The same file I can play via the external SD card on my pc without any problems, so the file is 100% transfered.
If I convert a MKV to MP4, this MP4 can only plaid by the Note when I transfer via KIES. This is very weird!
My conclusion is that I have fail Note. I think you think the same way...!?

I'm running stock Android 2.2 and just rooted my phone yesterday. Since rooting my phone, I've had the following issues:
Cannot create a new folder on internal SD card ("The file '<%1 NULL:NameDest>' is too large for the destination file system") from computer while in mass storage mode (I can in media player mode)
Cannot copy/move files to internal SD card while in mass storage mode (I can in media player mode)
Cannot download from browser to phone using computer (I tried downloading an apk file from xda but it just kept trying to download.
Cannot download from mobile phone browser ("Cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone")
That's all I can think of for now, but you get the idea. I think it might have to do with the fact that I didn't unmount the internal SD card before rooting my phone (I don't think there's a way, but perhaps I rushed).
Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance
Edit: It only affects the internal SD card. I put an external SD into it and it works fine.
I've been having pretty much the same issue since day one with this phone. While in Mass Storage, I cannot transfer files onto my phone. I can create/delete folders in the file tree though.
I would greatly appreciate any information you folks can come up with.
I have the same issues on a china-phone running 4.4.2 , is there any solution to this?
Also apart from these, but i think is due to the same bigger problem, i have some random issues with the gallery: it fails to load some images and it crashes.
Bluetooth transfer fails due to storage issues, yet i have some gbs free (internal or phone), and the files are just mbs.
I cannot copy some files from my phone to my pc, it keeps showing some errors (which appear to be due to FAT-FAT32 format, but in reallty i have no clue).
My phone is rooted, but it seems like i have no rights over the storage control... and that makes me real sad.
Any suggestions?

It's hard to help/support a phone we don't know about. What device do you have exactly? Which root did you use? Also, FAT32 isn't supported by quite a few devices, I would suggest using a different format.
I have an Mpie t6s, which i believe is kinda new cause i haven't been able to find anything on the net.
I have failed to create a backup due to "task ended with error" from MTKDroidtools, and i was trying to find a rom that works. I couldn't.
So now, i have it with the rom of a similar model, mpie 909t, but the problems remain.
I have sort-of realized that the gallery issue was created because i didn't ejected the drive from My Computer (yea, it has Mass Storage, and MTP, and camera mode when i connect it to PC.
I read that 4.4.2 and mass storage are not compatible, and it came to me.
I rooted it with iRoot that was the only that worked.
I removed all the Chinese &(@$^ but i kept iRoot's Superuser because i thought that with SuperSU all the problems where returning (that was before i realized the issue with mass storage and safe remove).

So i came to realise that the internal sd is 69MB (after i repartitioned it and made 2.5gb the interal for apks), so i think this is the main problem!
Formating via windows showed me that size, at first i thought it was something wrong (everywhere else in win the size was 29 GB) but now i manage to deal with that.
Prefer that than an always crashing phone.
ExtSD to the rescue!
I'm using MiniCM7 2.21 with nAa-13.. my problem is the next...
I have a folder called "!Mp3" witch is contain 360 mp3 files..
But when i connect to my pc... it's shows only 208....
My Question is... why???:laugh::laugh::laugh::crying:
Sooo.... my X8 see all the files, but my computer not..
i used many roms ago with stock kernel..but i don't had any problem with the connection between my com and my phone:/
Starnge :cyclops:
Probably the files are duplicated and counted. (Happened on my mp3 player)
check with another music player/file manager
Are you losing on some songs ?

100% i sholud see all my files if i try, but i want to work this method too cause this is the most comfortable..
And i don't have sd card reader
I think it's because the FAT filesystem, and if I remember correctly it has happened to me once too, the thing I did is that I moved music files to folders (album sorting).

Hey i be recently noticed a problem that every time I reboot my phone, my previous images from gallery and music from Apollo disappears.
I ran kaspersky on my phone but can't detect anything funny. Have also tried to load the videos in vlc but it doesn't work.
Other android users have faced some problems like this but a quick reformat of their card would erase this problem. In my case im not using ext SD card from the note, but using the internal sc card that is the mounted flash memory.

Thanks for the link. Going to take a look at it right now

OK guys I am in a bit of a Pickle here.
I plugged my phone into a PC in Bangkok to print out some PDFs containing flight information.
the pc started making .exe files on my phone with duplicate names of existing folders. e.g i have a folder called media on my phone so an exe called media.exe was created DCIM.exe and so on.
i plugged the phone into my laptop and ESET found a high amount of infiltrations over 400 which it cleaned by deleting. these were all the duplicate . exe files that it flagged as worms and Trojans.
now when i plug my phone into my laptop only certain files are visible. this is on the external SD and the phone itself. the files exist on the phone and SD card as i can see them all in in the explorer app such as all of my pictures and music camera photos etc, but alas the pc will not display these folders but when i click properties on the drive name in my computer it shows the free and used space correctly.
please do you have any suggestions ? my phone is rooted and i am using the alliance ROM. and do not want to brick this device just because of a stupid Asian virus.
thank you for any help you can offer
Alliance rom? JB or ICS?
Cuz in JB there is an issue with mtp of not displaying all files.
In ics, you can try to format your internal sd card and restore the data and check.
For this boot into recovery. Go to mounts and storage and mount usb storage. Connect to pc and this time you should see everything. If yes, copy all data to pc and format the storage using pc or format/emmc. Then put back the data. Reboot and check.
It is Alliance Rom ICS. so you mean format the phones SDCARD and the External SD card in recovery mode ?
yes either using the recovery option or using the drives displayed on the screen when connected to PC

What is the use?
If he formats it he will lose the files he is trying to access.
I have the same problem but I don't have any viruses. Just ask the photos from the last two months don't show when viewed from a Windows PC across a USB connection.
Hi Guys,
Am pretty annoyed right now. At a wedding last night I recorded a number of videos on my XZ. First recording of the night numbered *003.MP4 and last one was *021.MP4.
Looked at my gallery earlier to discover that files 03 - 010.mp4 are missing, and I have older videos 001 and 002.MP4 followed by 011 to 021.MP4. Couldn't figure out why the other 8 videos are missing as they were recorded in exactly the same was at the later videos (stored on internal storage), so decided to try data recovery.
Minefield. I installed MyJad Data Recovery For Android which it turns out is shareware. Installed for free and it thankfully shows the missing files, along with their respective filesizes. Promising start, but unable to restore through the app without purchase. Since this didn't happen through user error and I already have [email protected] installed I'm reluctant to spend money on this...
In order to use [email protected] or any other free software I've found (Stellar Phoenix Recovery looks good) I need to have a drive letter assigned to perform the recovery. Unable to do so as I have trawled the internet for hours and it seems there is no way to assign a drive letter to the internal storage of the phone (Portable device only, does not show in disk management)
I decided to go down the route of imaging the internal storage in order to mount it as a drive using daemon tools and try to recover it from there but am also having no luck being able to make a full image.
My Z is rooted and running original firmware with locked bootloader. Does anyone know of any free software I can use to either mount the internal with a drive letter, image it, or of data recovery software (Windows 7 or android based) that can scan a portable media device?
I know I can switch from MTP to MSC but Sony have tied access to the external SD only so the internal storage cannot be accessed in this way. Also the filesystem is NTFS so Undelete for Root doesn't work as it supports FAT only

Even if you do mount internal storage in MSC, it's still going to be an ext3 partition.
I would recommend you try hexamob recovery to recover the lost files.
This free version is capable of recovering files.

There is no recovery software that can work over MTP without direct access to the filesystem.
However, here is a method to extract the internal memory to a file and use data recovery software on that:

That's probably because it was your external memory card mounted in MSC mode and not the internal one.

Had Usb debugging on.
Played with the settings in Xperia/Usb connection.
Searched for lost file by name (Downloads)with recuva on internal sd and restored to c drive. Went through and deleted any corrupted files and copied back to phone.
Can't remember if I was rooted or exactly what setting I chose though.

[Hi all, thank you for your suggestions. Tried Hexamob but not possible. Recuva seems to be the way forward for most but I had no luck with it. I'd already installed it and uninstalled it prior to posting about the problem, but reinstalled to give it another chance. I used the wizard (you have to specify a drive with an assigned letter in standard/advanced) and in the wizard I chose to search portable media but I get the following error;
"No drives were scanned, because none matches with the filter"
Couldn't 'search a specific location' as due to no drive letter it didn't show...
Found the following which has been invaluable so far.... I have created an image and assigned it a drive letter - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
Initial recovery using Recuva has been patchy - the file sizes are small and there's not much content for each video.... but my quest continues. At the very least I now have a full internal memory dump, that's a huge leap in progress I can stop falling asleep on my laptop now and relax a bit!
