Hello,
I have had my Sony Xperia Z almost a week now and just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced the same problem as me.
The day after I got my phone I decided to load some tv episodes and films onto my device (32gb SD card) to see whether it will play MKV, MP4 etc. Initially I was very impressed as they all worked. I went to bed happy that night that my new expensive purchase would play most files with ease.
Heres the strange part, the next day on my lunch break at work I thought i'd watch one of the videos I loaded onto my phone. To my disbelief NONE of the files I had transferred over would play and gave me the message 'Cannot Play Video'.
After deleting and reloading the files again would not play. I noticed 2 files in the SD card folder called 'default-capability.xml' & 'customized-capability.xml'. I deleted these files and transferred the videos onto my phone once more and the videos worked again. But again stopped working after a small period of time. Could it be these files have something to do with my problem?
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Adam
Nothing to do with this 2 files,try another sd card.

Tried the micro SD in my gf's phone and all the files work. Think i've been sold a duff card!
Thanks for your help, probably should of checked this before posting but at least I know where to come in future
Cheers
I also have been sold an dud card from eBay. Was supposed to be 32gb turns out it's only 2gb.
Never had a problem playing videos on it, but did when playing music.
Loaded a few albums on it and they would play as if they were being played on fast forward, play for a few seconds then skip to the next song.
Won't be buying one from eBay again.
For video and high quality audio files you need class10 microsd card.

Yep, this one was supposed to be a class 10.
Will buy a proper one from a store or Amazon.
SD card
Sorry for this post, but I bought my phone one month ago and I had never the need to use a SD card, but in this case the files in my phone are really huge, so I decided for a SD card class 10 16 GB, when I inserted to my phone the first thing I noticed was the storage capacity, it was 15 GB of the "16ยจ I bought. Anyway, I transfered all my files to the SD without formating previously and everything went all right, well, only pictures and music, but when I played the full HD videos the error "cannot play" appeared, so I checked the SD and noticed those two files 'default-capability.xml' & 'customized-capability.xml, when I opened them and there was only two lines of information, nothing important IMO, but I read this thread and decided to deleted them and the videos already worked!!
The good thing about this is that the 2 files after was deleted returned to the SD card (suspicious) but I opened again and now the files are full of information, like the model, resolution of screen and a lot of things that I dont really understand, maybe, if you want, I can share those files so you can paste to your SD card so the error "cannot play video" dissapear forever :highfive:
PS sorry for my bad English, I am from Mexico
hlw bro have you solved your problm??
hlw bro hv u solved ur prblm??? im also facing the the same prblm

Hey guys
Okay straight to the weird problems I am experiencing
Running darkys 8.1
First is that when I plug my phone to the computer i only get access to my internal sd card while the external stays slightly transparent and can't open. Used to get both opening up but now only Internal sd card Happened a while ago but paid no heed to it and now i guess i am paying for it. have trying dual mounting and other things to try to get it to work but no luck.
Secondly I just recently got a 32gb the new sd card( promblem number 1 still persisting with the new sd card aswell) and it seems all the videos I put on it start to get corrupted one by one. I would watch the video and 10 mins later I get unsupported file type. Which is kind of weird as everything would be good and few seconds later half of my videos are useless.
Allready formated sd card several times ones through the computer and twice through phone.
Thanks for reading!

So, I purchased 8GB SanDisc micro SD card 4-5 months ago and it started to acting weird. When browsing pictures, some pictures have glitches meaning half picture is bluish and half greenish, sometimes redish.
Disconnecting and connecting SD card solves the problem but after several days problem continues. Few days ago I received message that my SD card is broken and it needs to be formatted. I formatted it and it worked 2-3 days and then again started to act weird.
Is my SD card broken or maybe it is phone? Someone else with such experience?
Thanks.
Same story here. This has happened with 2 out of 3 cards i have owned.

Really strange. It is important to detect are there really broken SD cards or our phones make bad SD card under some conditions/roots/ROMs. Hmmm....
First: when you will have such message, remove it and try to access it on PC. If it will work on PC - then it is the phone problem.
If not... well, where have you purchased it? SanDisc cards are covered by Lifetime Warranty, and thing what you have to do is to make claim.
Of course, if you have bought it for bargain price on eBay from China, then...
Thanks. I bought it in Mediamarkt, regular store for IT accessories. I will make a claim if this problem repeat.
I had the same problem with 16GB sandisk card so replaced it (JB hifi - reliable Aus store who replaced it for free). Same prob with new card though. both cards reformatted many times but still no joy.
photos taken with phone cam and saved to int SD no problem, but every so often if saved to ext SD the glitch occurs. Photos taken with a digicam then transferred to SD same prob - randomly in gallery won't show some photos properly.
Also discovered that videos made on pc (like clips from films my son likes) but put on ext SD often don't play well or stop before end of clip - no problem if saved to int SD.
I figured it was a bug with the SGS in dealing with files on ext SD - super annoying but have basically accepted it as can't find anyway to fix it!
FYI Recuva is a great program to retrieve lost files

forgot to mention that on my phone, it only seems that photos or videos are affected by this glitch.
I have mp3 files, homemade ringtones and word docs on the ext SD and so far (touch wood) haven't had any problems with using them or viewing them etc.
DoctorV, exact my story. I am assuming that problem is in SGS, although I tried Sandisc 4GB card and 3 days without problems. As soon as I put back Sandisc 8GB, problems started. Very strange and annoying.

Interesting - wonder if it has anything to do with the size of the SD card then? From memory my 2nd 16GB card had no problem for 3 or 4 days too before the issue happened again. Let us know if your 4GB continues to do ok - I may try a smaller card if yours seems to work ok.
thanks
I had 8G SanDisk - no problem for 3 mths, when I replaced it with Sandisk 16G. both were class 6. the second one - 4mths in sgs now - no problem at all.
@doktorV you, in australia, are too close to China, you know
Additional question: which gallery viewer are you using? Both, you that have problems with SD card and you that never had problems with SD card?
I noticed that in QuickPic I picked picture, picture is opened with errors (strange colors or even 3/4 picture is missing) and when I open same picture in stock gallery viewer few minutes later, everything is fine. After opening same picture in QuickPic, it is OK.
After 1-2 hours problem repeats. It is really seems like SW problem and not problem with SD card. Don't know...
I dont know if there is still some activity here..
My sd-card (lexar 8gb SDhc ) is recognized by pc and phone.. after insert it scans.. scan is ok. then a few second - minutes is says sd card is broken and needs to be formatted after format it goes to scan scan ok ... and again broken repeat....
is this a problem with my sd card ? does it matter if its an regular SD or an SDhc ?
and when I format in on pc in wich sort should it be ? stock of ext3 ? or anything like that ?
since im on custom rom now I can format it in my phone ( darknight 4.0.4, when I click format sd card it formats the wrong sd card so I cant use this option )
but its not in the custom rom, had the phone on stock 2.3.6 and the same problem was there. ( also on stock 2.3.3 same problem )
Can I conclude this actually is a '' broken card '' or can I change the settings and make it work ?
thanks in front....
Hello All - First Post...I hope I am doing this right.
I have a Nook HD+ (32GB internal) with a 64GB Micro SD Card. I use my Nook HD+ for general net surfing and watching movies/TV shows.
I am having an issue playing non-B&N video content. I will try watching a TV show in mp4 format. At random times the video will stop playing and I will get an error message that the video can not be played at this time. Turning the device off and back on does not correct the problem. Unmounting and remounting the SD Card does not solve the issue. Using a different SD Card does not correct the problem.
Also if I delete a video from the device or SD card it won't delete. I have two "ghost files" currently that will not delete no matter what I try. I have wiped and reformatted the SD card and they are still showing up. The ghost files do not show on my PC but show on the Nook HD+.
I have performed a factory reset. I have erased the SD Card. I tried calling Nook Support. That got me no where. I would love some help.
This all started with the software update they pushed earlier this week. I am ready to throw the stupid thing away and go buy a Samsung 10. I feel like I have wasted my money.

I start from end.
No you dont wasted your money. Just stock software is not for using device as media player. And yes they limited most of Android power only to reading books and visiting B&N shop to waste money
These "ghost" files not real files. Only symlinks and cache, which ones stock software not able to delete after real file deleting. Dont know why stock soft acts this way.
You can delete these files but for this you need root your device and install some additional file manager (RootExplorer, Astro File manager or OI File Manager etc). Look to this thread and you see that rooting and installing sideload apps is not hard. Even more, you can get more media power at your device if you start using CM10 (thread here)
With stock is help very limited due to B&N side lock for /system dir.
For playing non-protected content, I would try BSplayer first. By far it's the best player that will play most stuff w/o any problem including wirelessly streaming 1080p MKV file from a Windows PC.

I am using Samsung Galaxy note 2 and a song 32gb class 4 SD card. A couple of days back, I noticed that something was missing from my gallery and holy ****..all my pics and videos from the camera folder were missing. There were more than 2000 in number and around 10gb in size. But when I checked for storage size, free space was same.. 4GB even after the loss of 10 GB. I recovered them using Recuva. After recovering the data I did a quick format and moved the data back to memory card. Today when i was in the gym, I noticed that songs were getting repeated very frequently and when I checked, I had only 29 songs left out of 550 and again i was left with the same amount of free space as I had before the loss. I tried to recover it through Recuva, but this time I could recover only 121 songs. I use to swap my card between my htc chacha and note 2, but that's not the first time. And when i recover files from my card, the path shown in Recuva is something like this.

Anybody got an idea, what's the matter? I hate SONY and this is a last Sony product that I have bought in my life. It's my 3rd card which I got as a replacement from the company. I was planning to buy a ps3, but I have changed my mind. I will go for an xbox instead, because after one year of buying my psp one of its button stopped working and company said it can't be repaired.
I have a similar problem. The card disconnects very often and usually many of the stored data become corrupted. I changed the sd with other brand and the same thing happens.
Maybe there is a problem with the sd reader of my note.
Have you tried another microsd to check if it is the microsd's fault before blaming sony?
I guess you didn't read my post properly my friend. I have mentioned that it's my 3rd sd card, which I got as replacement from the company. I had kinda similar issues with the those 2 cards too. Kingston was working fine. Now I have placed an order for samsung sd card. But I wanna know the reason why it is happening? That wired drive path... Whats is that
I have the same issue on the TW roms. But on CM roms no problems at all..
I have same problem
Hello, I have this weird SD card bug on my Nokia Lumia 525 for quite a while now.
Every time i try install a program to the SD card , It'll just pop-up a generic error message that doesn't give any code. And i tried to set the time and date on my phone but it that didn't work. But when I change back to my phone's internal storage, every programs install just fine.
And that's not the only problem.
Whenever I record a video to the card. It'll just be broken and unplayable, and the video app of windows phone will just display a message saying that it doesn't support that video that I just recorded. But when I use VLC to play that video, It works just fine, but it looks a little bit streched out . And for a moment after I recorded the video it will be automatically removed from the card.
I managed to copy the broken video to my computer and view it with many video viewing software, and none of them are able to show that video. And open it in Notepad, shows a bunch of Chinese and other Unicode characters.
Also, when i tried to copy a MP3 file to it and play it on the Music app on my Lumia, It'd play fine for a while and then It'd be broken and automatically disappear.
Another thing happened is that every single time i try to delete a folder , some moments later It'd come back with all of its content.
Another disturbing things that this card brings is any time i open the Photos app. Some images in the past'd be black out, and when i open it, it'd give out an error saying it cannot open that picture and when I rotate it, it will just show a picture that doesn't exist in the gallery and it looks really streched or distorted.
I don't know what's going on here, the last picture that's successfully captured and saved to the SD card is from July 2016
which its full name "WP_20160717_16_12_36_Pro" And everything works fine when I use the internal storage.
So if anyone know something about this will be nice.
Thanks.

Your SD card seems to be dead (read only). You can only access data you try to save/copy to it while it's still in the disk cache, then it just disappeares, as it wasn't actually written.
What brand is your card?
I mostly have Kingmax and Samsung cards with these problems, but it can happen with ANY card.

Hey , thanks for the reply, the card i'm using is a 32GB Lexar 300x, I've only got this thing for a few months. I'm quite surprised to think that my card is already broken since my earlier cheaper and have less storage card lasted quite long,more than the current one.

These problems can be quite random, my 8GB Samsung EVO card died after 2 years, one of the 2 8GB Kingmax cards in about a week, the other after half a year

Do you think it'll be worth a shot to do a full format of the card, since I can't afford to buy a new one currently.

You can try it, but my guess is that everything will show up again after formatting it

Yeah, sadly your guess was right. I tried formatting it on many different devices and it didn't work. Well i guess at least I got to hands on the rare card format ,the SD-ROM. Get it?
Well, so I gotta start saving now. Thanks for the help.
