BB Torch :: "the Media Being Played Is Of An Unsupported Format"
Feb 14, 2012
.wav files that come as attachments to an email from our office voicemail system won't play. On device, it says" the media being played is of an unsupported format" The files will actually play the first time the email arrives if you chose the preview option. But subsequent attempts to play the file, or if you choose download and save them, they then can not be played. I confimed that these files can be played on a computer, and my Torch can play other .wav files.
I've tried having the files sent to all of the different types of email accounts that I have on my Torch(both Enterprise and Internet), and they won't play from any of them. So it seems that something happens to the file once it's received and stored. If I forward the email with the attached .wav file, it can be played on a computer.Also, I've downloaded other media players to the Torch, and none of them can play the file either.
I just started getting this message this week I don't know what happened but I can't play any .avi or .mp4 files only .wmv and .mp3 are working.Any help? I did battery bulls, spamming the play button but there is still an error playing the videos and stuff I record won't playback either.
After ripping a cd onto my Blackberry, when I try to play the songs I get a message that says , The media being played is of an unsupported format....anyone know what I've done wrong or what do I do next?
I have ringtones and voice notes that I recorded with my phone that have worked previously. My ring tones have stopped playing and I can't play back my voice notes. When I tried to play them from Media an error message comes up and says: The media being played is of an unsupported format. I am almost positive that I haven't changed any settings. It could be possible since I have children but I don't think so.

I purchased a 8gb memory card for my torch and it worked for a few days then brought up a message saying the card has errors and needs to be repaired i would repair these errors and i formatted the card and it still carried on bringing up the same message I then purchased a 16gb memory card and the same message came up. I formatted the card , repaired all errors on my computer and off my phone. when i transfer all my media to the card and put it in the phone it says format card everytime i put it in i then format the card and re put everything on the memory card , "safely remove" it and put it back in my phone and it says format again?
I keep getting a message to format a media card, file G that was installed. I haven't added a media card and when I click to format it comes back unable to format
When I power on my N900 I get a notification message saying device storage format unsupported. Note: I don"t have a memory card, this is the Internal Memory Card. When I check (settings, memory) It says memory card corrupt 1.86GB available. When I check File Manager, It says no files/folders. First two pictures on: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44203 is basically how it is on mine.
I tried flashing the firmware and emmc and it worked everything was back. But when I restart my phone same notification. When run mount/home/user/MyDocs via X-Terminal. In File Manager I can see N900 folder but in Settings/Memory is still says memory corrupt. When I restart phone everything does not work again. Can someone please assits me.
I got a Samsung Forever (SGH-A886) and I would like to be able to put games on it that I have DLed onto my computer.problem is that rogers and there infinite wisdom have fixed it so that you cant do this. I transfer the game to the phone, fine but when I try to run it it tells me that its an "unsuported file format". Now I know this is because the phone has been locked so that you have to DL stuff directly to the phone but I don't have a data plan and would really like to be able to put these games and such onto my phone from my computer.
So basically I tired to send a picture from google images via mms. When I went to attach the file, the phone said "Unsupported media type, please select another". Weird thing is, I attached the same image using Hangouts and it worked just fine. Surprisingly I really like the stock app so I'd rather keep it.
using OpenCore (under the stock audio player), the media player will not play newer MP3 files with high bit-rate encoding. Any of my MP3 files encoded in such a manner come up unsupported and will not play. However, lo and behold, I put the MP3s on my ORIGINAL DROID, and they play just fine using Stagefright (under the stock audio player) in Froyo. Attempting to use Stagefright on the X2 results in skipping/stuttering with these files (though there are no issues with other files). So, what now? After all of the music skipping/stuttering issues, certain MP3 files are now just completely unsupported? What gives? I continue to be completely and utterly let down by this POS phone and the complete lack of support.
So quite recently, whenever I try to download any kind of files from a website onto my memory card it tells me "Unsupported media type: application/octet-stream" I have no idea what this means & why all of a sudden it's saying that when it was working perfectly fine & letting me download files before ?? Btw I have a Blackberry Bold 9780, I was looking up some other answers & people were saying something about "browser configuration" but that's not under my browser options
I'm using Sheet To Go often everyday since 2008 (in Palm OS, Nokia E, BB Curve) & never had a trouble. I'm using new Blackberry Torch 9860 OS 7 which comes pre-installed with Documents To Go Premium developed by RIM since last year. I was creating new xlsx file (type MS Excel 07-2008) in sheet 1 & regular editing on daily basis for a month & the size of the file is about 115KB. After last saving earlier today & I want to open the file again, it showed blank worksheet. After I check out it's opened directly in sheet 2. When I try to open sheet 1 it's pop up message "This worksheet type is unsupported in Sheet To Go". I close the file & check the size of the file is still about 115KB. This is the second time I got this error, first on last month.. I already try open the files in desktop with MS Excel 2007 but still cannot open. How to fix this error so I can recover & open/edit this files?
I downloaded a couple apps from App World( crunch sms, a game, and ebay) and the game and sms I didn't like so deleted and restarted and now it says I have an unformatted media card and would I like to format. But if I format then won't it erase all of my stuff on the media card?
I've done a bit of digging, trying to find a solution to my problem before I posted, but most posts in the vein of a Media Card unrecognized/unable to format trail off into "is your SD card bad?" with no response following. So here's where I stand:
My phone: Blackberry Curve 8330 My Carrier: Verizon My OS: v4.5.0.175
2gb media card has been used in phone since purchase in July '08. As of 2 weeks ago, phone no longer reads media card. Media card is recognized by phone (meaning phone detects whether card is present or not). Error message of "Media card cannot be read. Verify that the memory card is formatted." Attempts to format via phone fail immediately. When plugging into computer via USB (with Mass-Storage Enabled), Blackberry device is recognized, but no media card is present. A greyed-out drive ( I: ) appears in My Computer, but is inaccessable and cannot be checked, opened, or formatted (Error message; "Please insert a disk into drive I: ).
Attempted solutions: Have used 3 different media cards: 2gb Sony, 2gb PNY, 8gb. Each card tested via SD adapter and all read correctly in My Computer: can move files to/from, checkdisk, and reformat. Have formatted all via PC. Each card gives same error "Media card....formatted" as stated above. Hard reset (battery pull) has no effect. Have removed battery for 48 hours (in case there were any stubborn capacitors, or something like that). Have turned Mass Storage, Encryption, and Media Card support On and Off, removed and reinserted card with each parameter changed, no effect (I can give you the list of all of that, but you get the idea. I'm decently thorough). Rolled back the OS to previous version (via Desktop Manager), problem still exists. Re-upgraded to current version, no change.To sum up, the phone works fine, but the media card may as well not be there. It's not the card(s), and I don't think it's the software, given that I changed the OS up and down, so I'm assuming maybe hardware. I'd appreciate any suggestions, and if you need any further info, I'll do my best to provide.
I would like to put some music on my phone but im having some trouble, i have made a play list from windows media player and have synced that tracks to the phone but for some reason it has an error. "Windows media player cannot convert the file to the format required by the device". What format the mobile is in, or what to do next?
I'm trying to add some ringtones to my Torch. They are there and I can see them in the file manager or when I sync to my Mac. But when I go to the ringtones folder, they are not listed. There is an option to select music for a ringtone, so I put the mp3 file in the music folder along with other music files, but none show up.
The same thing happens when I take pictures with the phone. If I look at the pictures folder, it says no pictures. But if I go through file manager to the media card, I can see the pictures.
I have recently encountered a problem with the formatting on e-mail messages that I receive on my BB from sweeping both Outlook and internet e-mail addresses. The spacing is very large so that I am able to only see a few random bits/pieces of the message. It doesn't appear to be a problem with e-mails that are sent from my BB. My cell phone service is through AT&T. I am aware of no changes that would have caused this problem.
I have a blackberry torch with 7.1 Bundle 1149 (v7.1.0.342, Platform 5.1.0.276). I cannot seem to set the date format or language to English uk rather than english us. I have tried the o2 shop but they were unable to help.
On other BB's I've moved pictures from the device to the media card using the "move" function - I can't find this on the Torch. Am I overlooking something or will I have to use Desktop Manager?
The calls listed in the Recent Call section of the 9810 are shown as a solid 10-digit block. Any one know how to set the format of these numbers to add a separator - dashes, periods, or spaces - to make the numbers easier to read and faster to identify? Have been unable to find anything in the device of in the 9810 user guide.
Last week my blackberry torch, whose battery life has been rather poor, cut out due to a dead battery. When I charged it and switched it on, my wallpaper had change and I thought weird but whatever. Anyway, I found the next day, when I tried to take a picture of my kids, that all my photos are gone and I can no longer take any pics coz it says that the memory is full, even though the media says 'o photos'. I am gutted, but have found the following message on my storage menu ' device memory cannot be read. try to repair or format'. I've tried to repair it but it fails, and I am holding on to the hope that my photos are still in there, so want to avoid formatting it until the last possible moment. I am desperate for the pictures, there are just too many of my kids there to have to lose.
I recently purchased BB Torch 9860 with OS 7 and configured by personal and work email on BIS. I am receiving emails only in text format. In some emails with images that have hyperlink, I just see a link and images not displayed. All the images comes as an attachment in the email. My friend having another BB Torch is able to view emails as HTML. But he is with BES.
Is there any solution for my issue? I am not receiving any options in the email preference to enable HTML format for emails.
I can't synch media to my torch. Desktop 6.0 continues to give me the error: You need to turn on mass storage mode from the device. I've gone to options, device, storage, and Enabled USB Mass Storage. However, Desktop does not give me the ability to turn on Media Synch or show that the device can accept media.
I connected my bb to the computer nd wen I disconnected it,evrythn disappeared...I noticed that it was "hidden" in the files...bt wen I try to "untick" the hidden box,I can't becouse itz in grey...now none of my media is visible..
Why can't some mobilephones open the text message that I send using my torch. Something like "Unable to open. Message format not supported" appears. What must I do?
