Xperia Z2 :: Video (cannot Play) - Not Writing To SD Card Following Update
Nov 10, 2014
I've had an issue since the update with any video taken and written to the micro sd card producing 'cannot play' The meta data is there but the file size registers as 0k.
I took some videos last night when I went to a concert. My internal memory was getting full so it recommended moving them to the SD card which I did. Now I can't view the files and it won't play in any different video applications that I have downloaded. I reformatted the sd card after backing it up and still nothing! Why is this when I can see the files on my phone. They are there but won't play. I haven't done anything wrong! I literally am frustrated and want my videos back.
My problems to my phone after update to ICS are: GPS not working, ASTRO app as my official file manager was given by SONY for all xperia 2011 user after update to ICS, but it free version that means its come with advertisement, that app always pop-up and suggest the user to upgrade from "free version astro" to full/complete version. Can I uninstall that free app? Video player play video very good but doesn't has sound.
I upgraded my firmware with PC Companion.I have been using my Xperia without any problem till the update for a year. After the update I placed my sim card, it asked for SIM PIN and the pin accepted. I waited for the region, chose it, then it poped out Please insert SIM and restart. I tried everything, reseat the SIM,checked my SIM, it is fine with other mobiles, wiped it, as I said before it asks for pin, then I went through changing the pin number, it said there is no sim card.
At the massage tools > writting language>: does not have the list for chinese language although from the application got the chinese keyboard software but it look like useless. Isn't the flaw of android 2.1? How do I change back to android 1.6?
I received my 3.1 update this morning and now I can no longer play the three video files that reside on my Xoom. I created them with Freemake Video Converter. I can, however, play a video that I recorded with the built-in application (recorded after the update).
i tried many video players like mx video,mobo,vlc etc but none of them can play hd mkv video file correctly..earlier i had live with walkman and now i changed to neo v but problem not solved..so is there any compatible video player in the market?
I seem to be having a problem with my Sony Experia z2, I can take photos and record videos but when I go to view them it comes up with "cannot play video" and the photos won't load up(just a black screen).
I am unable to play video. This is video from any application I have installed, Facebook, YouTube, even video advertising embedded in games doesn't play.
I have tried clearing application data, I have tried a factory reset, I have tried using the repair feature in Sony PC Companion.
The problem persists regardless of whether I'm using wifi or mobile data.
My Z3 plays about three quarters of a video, then stops and says ;Cannot play video. Invalid URL. whats url got to do with a prerecorded video. This happens with the built in player and also vlc player.
I keep getting the error can't play video or invalid url for videos recorded on the phone. Sony support told me to do a phone repair but it has made no difference.
cant use my video call using skype in my xperia play, i tried my video call on google chat and it worx, but in skype, the laptop of my colleague who tries to call me on my skype mobile, crashes, im using data plan/3g
I see that on the Android Market that there is an app called SDCardXD for Xoom which allows a US stock Xoom 3.2 to write to the external SD card; [URL] Info on the app states; "SDCardXD is a simple file manager with sole purpose of allowing stock U.S. Xoom owners to write to their external SD Card from their Xoom. NO ROOT is required and works on Xoom tablets running 3.2.x stock operating system. Select a file, select where you want to put it, and paste it there." Not knowing the exact difference between US and UK stock 3.2 do you think this will work on a UK stock 3.2 XOOM?
Recently bought a Xperia Z3+. How come when I record a 4K video and then try to play it back does it come up with the error message 'unable to find URL'
Do you need to use the Internet to view a video you have recorded yourself if it is in 4K if so how come?
And why is it not using my Internet because I have unlimited data but I am downloading something at the moment does this prevent the video getting the URL if it needs it.
Firstly, when I watch video on youtube about 4-6 clips - the error message appear: "Please touch to try again" - even I touch multiple times it still can not play.
Then, I go to the Video App (Sony), surprisingly, the video didn't play. It appear an error message: "Can not play this video" - I try with every single video on my phone and still has the same error message.
And more surprisingly, even the video on facebook have the same problem too.
So it must be like: If I watch video on any app, suddenly the clip can not play or just keep loading infinity, these app will be "infected" immideately (at the same time as well). The only thing I can do is reboot the phone.
I know reboot phone is just spend my little time around 15-30 seconds maybe. But it is very annoying to happen with very frequently.
My daughter sends me video via Facebook private message. This always worked before until the last sony update. I have just had another update successful this morning and I still get the same message the phone will start to play the message then about 10 seconds in say invalid url cannot play when the phone has just played some of the video??
is there any facility to play video songs in keypad locked condition?? i know you say that what is meaning of keypad lock in video song.but some of video song i want to hear in office at there i can't see video i must lock the keypad.I tried to do that way but when light off songs automatically stop.
My phone recieved notification of a new software update yesterday, it also said i could update it over the air, then contradictid itself by saying i had to use the PC Companion software. Which i did use, i connected my phone, tried to update the software, but when i get to the change from MSC to MTP part, it trys to connect to my phone then says it cannot connect... ?I tried the Wi-Fi updated through the PC companion and the USB updater & they were both saying the same things...It just won't let me update and its really frustrating seeing as im following the instructions given to me...
i was on tmobile using a tmobile sim card on an old motorola with all my contacts (my vivaz pro is being fixed). i transferred to att service and tried to use my tmobile sim card to upload contacts, and it cannot read.
I bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play from the Sony Store in Erin Mills on September 18th, 2012. It was in good condition, but I recently got it unlocked. Upon receiving my unlocked Play, I noticed that the SD card isn't mounted. I tried numerous times resetting the phone and trying to see what was wrong but I can't seem to fix it. My SD card works when I insert it into my PC, and it still has all the files. I even tried other SD cards and it still couldn't mount.
I recently changed the micro sd card out to a 32gb to enable a more serious approach to gaming etc. However, since doing that I have not been able to get any of the gameloft games to download and install correctly. The existing game that I had previously will operate when I put in the older (Smaller) SD card. Photos and music transferred over, but not with the correct file path. Therefore they con not be viewed. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to work it out, previous discussion threads have not correctly outlined the procedure. Having the expandable memory is designed to make this phone more marketable. Not telling people how to do it makes the phone significantly less marketable.

My phone ran out of battery and now the apps stored on my SD card won't always show up. The card is fine as I can use my music. If I copy an app from SD to phone an then back it will show but when i restart the phone it will dissapear again. i have tried un mounting and re-mounting the card but no joy.
I'm having trouble working out how to play music from my SD card with Walkman. I can play one song at a time when i find it in File Commander but i was wonderinghow i can put my music on the Walkman app so i can search for different songs easier.
