[Q] Video and Pictures - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody have a problem with their own video or pictures(off the camera app) showing a corrupt sign and saying cannot play video...this has happened to a few of them now and I can't understand the reason why. It usually works fine for a day but then come back to it a day later and this happens.

I didn't had this. Are your files stored on an SD card? If so store them on the internal drive and see what happens.
If you're not using an SD card, I'd say try a factory reset, if that doesn't work, return the phone.

Or delete the folder android from internal sd and reboot.

Why does my SD card keep disappearing ?

So I have to reboot my Galaxy S about 10-20 times a day -- every day -- because it disappears all the time. I have an external card in there too - but that too goes missing.
Anyone know how to fix this ?
no one knows why this happens ?
no one has EVER had their SD card disappear randomly and have to reboot ?
I don't buy that.
Apparently the 51 viewers as of this post haven't had this problem.
I certainly haven't.
Maybe someone that has, will show up.

It's just super annoying

Might help to know what firmware and apps you are running.​
maybe you need to format the card inside the phone using the built in format app. Maybe you have a fake card. Maybe you have bad phone, in that case get it looked at
happened to me for a few days too.
Went uninstalling everything (tried a bunch of podcast/rss readers trying to find something that could handle passworded podcast feeds) as well as the games I was trying out and a few apps.
Hasn't happened since so one of them had to be the culprit.
- Completely vanilla sgs-i9000m from Bell, just unlocked. Not even rooted.

Restarting

i would like to know if Ia m the only one, experiencing constant restarts on the phone,almost every single day and more than once.
hmm sounds like you have some sort of software issue, reflash the software and see if you get this issue again. I've had the phone 2 weeks now and had no weird restarts or anomalies, check my sig it shows what firmware on.

Your sig is what I have really surprised, o well might do a reflash or something, but the phone has also shut off a couple of times, not sure why, but when I unplug the phone from the charger usually.

Yeah I will let you know, besides that, this phone is great, build quality, UI, battery, display, and even the speakers are louder than the G2 and yes I compared them. This is by far the best android experience I had even if it restarted, it is still the best I owned

Well I thought I was the only one, but it seems in android central people are reporting random shutdowns, please let me know if this is a widespread issue, because they also said they dont have an SD card to wipe, so it seems it's not the card causing the problem, but certaintly the same thing is happening to me.
I having these issues also, i have left a message on sony facebook page. This is starting to piss me off for a $1000 phone it is not good enough. It is also corrupting my files on the phone
Wow that is definitely not acceptable, Im leaning to switch back to the HTC One, but still debating, depends to see how many are having this issue.
if anybody knows let me know if this a known issue or if is affecting only a small portion of the phones thanks

HERE YOU GO MY FRND
All users who are facing this problem... i have solved it.. the prob is with android 4.0+ onwards... do not pop in mem cards from other fone directly...
take your memory card out and copy the entire card data on hard drive and then format the card in pc with default settings. then switchoff the fone and put the card in it... it will take smtime to initialize the card at first run. have patience and let it create the suitable folders... the data u looking forward to copy is pics, vids and music files... rest stuff is there on ur fone and it will stop rebooting. DO NOT FORMAT THE CARD FROM WITHIN THE FONE... it has been seen that with android 4.0+ they do not format flawlessly....enjoy and ur rebooting problem will b over...
I have the same problem. My Z1 restarts several times a day. 10 times just today.
I don't have a sd card in the phone, and I never had any sd card. So that can't be my problem.
I don't see any pattern in when it restarts. I can be browsing the web, checking facebook, playing games. Or when the phone just lays on the table. Charging or not charging.
One thing I have seen is that right before it restart the cell signal is gone and there is a sim card icon in the notification bar.
I'm switching cell provider in 2 days, so I will see if it gets any better with a new sim card.

well that doesnt seem a solution for me, I tried what he said and didnt fix my problem the shutdowns happen quite often, I might have to look at a stable device, I may look at the incoming nexus 5, I do like the Timescape UI, but restarting a couple of times a day I cannot agree to that, I had it happen when a call comes in, so it is a problem, because people think I hang up on them.
I got my new sim card and the phone haven't restarted once!
So it looks like my problem is solved.
The difference between my old and new provider is that my old (OneCall in Norway) is renting net from Telenor and the phone is roaming most of the time.
My new provider (Netcom) has its on cell phone net.
If you have the same problem you could try with a new sim card, or use the phone without a sim card for a day.
I've this problem too. I don't have an sd card in my phone and I didn't move any old files from another phone. I've been getting a random reboots per day in the last 3 days. I love this phone but I'm not sure if I need to return it. It is unacceptable.

[Solved] Weird problems

Hi,
I'm having some weird problems with my Xperia Z1.
The phone is new (1 month) and i have some really annoying troubles, when i'm trying to play song through a file manager in my SDCArd or into the phone, it freeze for many seconds 10-15 with black screen or just totally freeze the phone, and play the song.
I've tried to play song directly into the phone, no success
I've fully restore the phone with SUS no success
I've tried another file manager, like astro, no success
I've tried to open the file with another player, like VLC, no success
Tested with fresh install and no apps, no success
Most of time i must reboot the phone because it just freeze and stay black screen
The funny thing is that i can perfectly play music directly with Walkman, like my playlist etc... not a single problem, no freeze no crash.
I have similar problem if i try to navigate through my SDCard or into the phone with a file manager and if i try to change volume level
I have no idea what is causing that, the older z1 i've had before this one never did that, but they changed it for me after it returned by repair sony center 4 times and 4 times with something broken by themselves...
Other thing ****in things, the phone works perfectly...i've waited 5 weeks before they decided to change me my z1 so that will kill me if i need to send it back again to the retard repair sony center (they already broken 4 times my phone).
Have you tried another SD Card?

Sd card is a common factor, so definitely try that first . Back it up to a hard drive and format it.

Need a phone expert

Ok, this touch lag will not go away.
Its a 1 maybe 2 second delay between touch and reaponse , and happens every 10 to 15 seconds, even with spen. Can be writing a word or draw with spen and a second later the action finally appears.
Ive done all I can think of. I completely reset my phone, didnt work. Last night completly reflashed the stock rom, re rooted, cleaned completely with sd card out, still there.
I have done all the usual, froze apps, took tempered glass off, installed seeder as a suggested, turned off secure storage as suggested, and more. Still there.
When i received my phone, it had absolutely 0 lag, i mean none.
It started after that damn update, which oddly, fixed others lag problems.
So, I will take any and all suggestions no matterwhat it is. I don't want to return it because of various reasons, plus it was fine before.
Should I start over with the original firmware that came with the phone, wait for another update, what?
Thank you to anyone who has any other suggestions, i will try anything. This is my last resort before returning.

I am the same. My phone has some lag here and there delay when I type something and facebook are very slow when I scroll. Last night I flashed back to stock and rooted again. So far I didn't get any lag yet. I believe this is something with the software in general. I disabled so many apps so far no issue.
The stock keyboard and Recents are the only two areas with minor lag. I'm on Google keyboard now with no lag.
Not much you can do about Recents.

This isnt a particular app lag, its the touch response of the screen. Games, apps run fine. Only lag is thw the touch screen

did you try removing your ext sd card, rebooting, then putting it back in?
a few folks said that "unmounting" and re inserting their sd card made the lag go away..
I know in the past, a few phones had weird issues fixed when "resetting" their external sd card, so if you have one, it might be worth a try..
I see ZERO lag on my stock, unrooted phone, with a 64 gig sd card, but I did not have to do this "procedure"

Did you try going into developer options and check all of your settings and try setting your animation scales to 0 delay. Power off after you set your new sittings don't restart.

Well that's my 2 cents... I'm on stock with the new update and lag is gone. Flesh out the box, well that's another storie. Good luck
---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------
Search the forums they've been talking about that since day one. (lag on rooted n4)
SetCPU, over clocked to max and no lag here. Battery life is dimished by about a half hour, worth it.
Unmount sd card in settings play around with phone without sd card for like 5 minutes when no lag reinsert sd card play for like 1 minute reboot lag sgould be gone
Ive tried everything. I even ran the f'er in safe mode awhile and its still there. Dunno, screw you update

(Finished/closed)entire music dissapeared suddenlly?

Hello guys
I have a strange problem but first this is what i have.
sony xz1 compact stock firmware android 9 latest security update of september (fu sony)
Yesterday i wanted to play some music when suddenlly i got this message that said i can not play it or something like that and then tried dozen of other songs and nothing worked they all gave the same message except for a stock song that came with the phone that did work.
I restarted the phone but that didnt help then i thought ill look once i get home...
So i get home and look into it and suddenlly i notice they are all gone? except for the stock song that comes with the phone ?
All my songs gone in thin air how is this possible ??
I havent downloaded an app recentlly nor done anything to it my phone so what gives is this even possible do i have a virus? am i hacked? software corrupted somehow?
Afterwords i notice phone acts strange sometimes going into settings and go to storage makes my phone slow or crashes trying to look for my music but nothing there either.
I am super pissed because i was gonna put a custom mod on my phone anyway i was just trying to get some experience with root on an old phone first and then this happens ...
anyone happen to have heard of anything like this happening to someone before?
I made this thread cause i dont have a back-up of my phone more importantlly of my music so in the offchance there is away to find out what happend .....
I assume the music was on internal storage? Because if you had it on an SD card, there would still be ways to recover it. Otherwise, the chances are rather slim. You would have to get the internal storage out of the phone somehow and then scan it on the PC. But since the internal storage cards are usually firmly soldered, that would be very work intensive.
Yes it was on the internal storage.
But it is so weird man like how can this happen out of the blue ?

There's only two kinds of PC users; the ones who have lost data and those that will.
As NeoSeven pointed out store your data base on the SD card. Then back it up at least twice on electronically isolated hdds.
Not much help now but it will prevent future loses.
I avoid firmware updates if the device is running stable and does what I need.
Anything can happen.
After a major firmware update a factory reset is best. At least clear the system cache.
allright clear thanks guys
