I'm running a custom rom (Ultimate) and the video recordings I make seem to be corrupt. I can't play them on any of my windows machines (I can play virtually every other file out there). I can't upload them to youtube , it bombs out. Any ideas what I'm can do to fix this?
Is there another camera app that I can get that would fix this?

Will they play in vlc? If so get super and convert em

Tried it, but Super C couldn't even play/convert them.
Found my workaround/solution: Copying the file to the external sd card and then putting that in my cardreader on the computers DOES NOT WORK. Actually copying the file from the internal to external SD card corrupts it on the phone BUT NOT RIGHT AWAY?!?! Meaning I can move the file to external sd and play it in video player. I put the phone on the charger, went to sleep and this morning it said file corrupt from the same player - I'm using root explorer to do all my copy/paste and it is the latest and greatest. My external SDcard has very few writes/rewrites and has not given me any other issues.
So, to copy to my desktop computer, I have to use the USB file transfer method, which works fine - just seems slower.

Also another workaround is to save the video straight to the external sd card... It seems to work (for now)
Hello all- I am looking to switch back to Windows and am looking at the Nokia 820 and 920, obviously the 920 is higher end, etc... but the addition of the micro sd slot on the 820 is very enticing.
Is the addition of the micro sd card any advantage as far as being able to install .xap files or any other say homebrew type things (if even possible).
One other thing... I currently have a 32GB micro sd in my Galaxy S3 with lots of music, will I be good to go on inserting the micro sd in the 820 or will I have to reinstall all the music using Zune software ??
Thank you for any help !!!!

You can only keep Music, Videos, Photos and (using a recent Beta Labs App from Nokia) Offline Maps on the SD Card. If you currently have regular MP3/AAC-files without DRM on the Card it should work without any changes.
You can not install Apps to the SD Card and Apps can not move their data to the SD Card. About 2.5 GB on the internal Memory are used by the OS + ~ 1 GB for temporary storage that can't really be deleted (the possibility to clean up additional temporary storage was included with a recent Firmware update for the 820).
So basically: if most of your data is Media you can use the SD Card for this but if you plan on installing a number of big Apps (e.g. Games like Modern Combat 4) I believe it would be better to take a phone with more internal storage.
Installing Apps from the SD Card can help to install big Apps if the internal storage is almost full as less temporary space is needed that way. Sideloading of Homebrew Software is currently not possible without an official Developer Unlock and even then I don't know of any Homebrew Apps that have been able to do more than what Marketplace Apps are able to.
Cheers for all that information Stevie...:good: :good:
It seems that the 920 will be the way to go then which definitely pleases me. 32GB internal memory should be more than enough, now the final decision.. which colour ???? LOL
Cheers mate, LL13-
I have tried both Media Transfer Mode and Mass Storage Mode, Media Transfer Mode results in errors while Mass Storage Mode first appears to work, I can find all the files I've transferred and play them on the computer from the phone but as soon as I disconnect from the computer they disappear from the card. WTF?
Try with a card reader?
Or you could transfer to the built-in storage and then move to SD using Fail Commander.
Does the microSD card work ok in other devices? I've just tried transferring from PC to phone in MTP mode and the files turn up straight away on my Z3C. This is with a 64GB Scandisk card.
I will check with a card reader, I hope it's the sd card being faulty and not the phone.

The easy way for me to access the SD card without making things difficult is to change the USB connection mode on your Sony Xperia Z3 compact over to Mass Storage mode (MSC). Here is how to get to this setting:
Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB connection mode > select Mass storage mode (MSC)
No special drivers needed on the computer for it to recognize and read/write the micro SD card inside of your phone when plugged in via micro USB.
You will no be able to access your internal storage with this setting, but you can transfer files over via File Commander if needed.

I have the same issue. With the full size Z3.
Really annoying.
I've had SD cards that read fine on a computer but not in my mobile devices. Even between devices (super annoying) so I would try a different card if you have one around.

Hi, I've been using the Wifi-File Explorer app ever since. Still works fine on the Z3C.
Hello, simply use the third-party program to move music to SD card such as iTools, Apowersoft Phone Manager, etc., i guess it will work for you.
Similiar with me
Hi,
I have a Z3C with latest available Android (6.0.1 no root).
Yesterday, I have copied lots of music files to my sd card (sandisk 64GB, class 10). Haven't used the media mode, just attached the phone directly to the pc with usb cable, and selected to mount the sd card only to my pc.
After I have copied the files, and pulled the phone off of the computer, the files aren't showing up on my phone, not even with root explorer.
Can anyone help me what could happen with my phone? Should I just try this again in media transfer mode?
Thanks
Kind of similar problem!
I 've been transfering music to my SD through wifi connection ( using different apps through the years - "portal" at the moment ) without any problem.
Havent really noticed when maybe after upgrading to official marshmallow ( OTA ), what happens is that most of the newly transfered music is just displayed on ES File Explorer, but not on the music library ( same happens with 4 different music apps ) and can't be reproduced. The music that was there before is displayed and allowed to be played normally, but the newly added in order to be added and played through the music library, i have to :
1) eject the sd card
2) mount the sd card
3) clear es file explorer and music app from the recent apps
4) open es file explorer
5) play the specific newly added track though es file explorer player
6) open the track with the music app by clicking it through the es explorer
any thoughts / advice ?

Do you have an app that stops the media scanner from working?
I had the same problem that files on my SD card weren't being picked up by the Sony Music app.
Try settings/apps/show system apps, find Media Storage, Force Stop, Clear cache, Clear data, restart phone, wait five minutes.
This Media rescan app is very helpful and even gives you a shortcut to the Media Scanner properties so you can perform the above task.

aaah! I' m so stupid I was searching for such an option but I missed it. It's been a long time since my first android phones ( pre-Lollipop years ) that i had to dig into settings try find and fix things when root and custom roms were a necessity and every tiny little detail might have alter your android experience a lot.
thanx for the feedback! I already installed "media re.scan" and i am going to look deeper into it a bit later as at the moment i have my music library up to speed.
I'm trying to copy over files from my Windows computer to my Note 4 so I can quickly view things through the Gear VR. I have USB debugging turned on and it connects to my computer in camera mode. When I navigate to my SD card and open up the Oculus folder I see all the folders (360Photos, 360Videos, etc) however if I open any folder they all say 0 items and are blank and it won't let me copy files into any of these folders. Anybody know what is going on here?
Thanks.
I think mass storage feature was removed from android long time ago. If you use external drive and otg cable you can copy files from drive to memory card using Note's built in file manager (my files)

The way i have to do it is -
Copy files from PC to internal SD using EX file explorer or windows, then i use the file explorer that came pre installed to move the files to the ExtSD

My steps are little different. Im using one of those sandisk memory sticks with usb connector on one side and micro usb on the other. Copy files from pc to memory stick and plug in memory stick to phone and transfer files using My Files app. I know it is extra step but allow me to have few movies on stick and load them when needed

I personally downloaded one of many apps that enable sd card writes. I believe you need root though. Now, I just copy with a usb to the computer. No need to take out the sd card. Make sure you download the Note 4 usb drivers for your os. Also, make sure your sd card is exFAT so you can copy files larger than 4gb. I have many 10+ gig 3D video / movie files I play with the Gear VR. The only issue is sound on some of them as it won't play. What I do is play the file on my computer and on the Gear VR at the same time. Good luck!

For the sound you need re-encode the file to mp4 with mp3 sound because wont play ac3 or aac encoded sound

for most the movies/videos iv done so far i used the settings below,
3D -
1920x540 or 1920x544
codec - H.264/MP4
Avg kbps - 4000 or 5000
H.264 Level - 4.1
MP3 (lame) as others was causing problems when coming from TrueHD & DTS-HD
bitrate - 160 or 320
for normal HD movie/vids
1280x720
all other settings same as for 3D.....
I have one New BLU-R1/16GB and also a BLU-R1/8GB, and I have installed on each of them 128GB MicroSD Memory Cards.
Neither of my 2 BLU cell phones is rooted, and after selecting to use my MicroSD card as an SD-Card, I successfully moved all my APPs, except the systems ones, to this SD-Card...
But although I have 128GB of memory in each cellphone, I noticed that if I download a movie using the "Amazon Video" APP, this file is always stored in the internal memory and not in the SD-Card memory.
Does anyone know if there is any way to force all downloaded movie files to be stored only in this 128GB memory, using the Amazon Video APP?
Thanks in advance!
I have noticed that the latest update v4.13.1 (build 14562) of the Netflix APP, allows to save the downloaded movies on the external SD card, anyone can tell if this is possible on the BLU R1 using the Amazon Video APP?:
"- SD Card support.
New "Download Location" app setting that lets you control where to save downloaded content: Internal Storage or SD Card (new permission requested)"
As I mentioned before, I would like to force all downloaded movies, using the Amazon Video APP, to be stored only in my 128GB External SD Card... So I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me with this matter...
Thanks in advance!
