Pictures get corrupted

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:55:07 GMT

I have some issues with this phone. It didnt came with no sd card, so I used a 8gb class 4 and had this problem that when I take pictures they are ok, but after a few minutes or maybe a day they get corrupted. Change the card for a 32cd class 4, had the same problem.

Have you been formatting the card prior to using it? Also when you swap cards with this problem, please ensure that you do not copy over any data from the old card as this can simply transfer the corrupt data.

Everytime I swap cards I format it, and set th ephone to factory settings. With my old Samsung 4gb card didnt had this problems. Only with a Micro SD 8 gb class 4 and Micro SD 32gb class 4.

Is there a recomended brand of card that could avoid this?

Are the pictures showing as corrupt if you look at them on a computer as well?

If not, delete the thumbnails and nomedia folder on the SD card. And go to Manage applications and clear data for Media storage. Now reboot your phone and check if they still appear as corrupted in the phone.

They cant be seen on my computer either, the extension is still JPG but no program can open it, windows photo viewer, or irfanview will say unknown format.

Checking other discussions already tried to clear date from media storage before and didnt work.

If this helps I just checked some music I transfered using Media Go and some mp3 cant be read either, says not supported format. Other ones will work fine.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Try running a software repair via PC Companion on the phone.

Then check if the problem still happens using any of your two SD cards.

Recently experiencing same issue with Ion (LT28h), running 4.0.4. The OS/App just started replacing videos & photo's with an icon of two solid white moutains on a black background (with jagged "broken" line between). Not viewable on PC with USB attached, either. No help from Sony after more than a year? SOUNDS LIKE I NEED TO SWITCH TO WP8.1.

I've experienced the exact same problem in my z3 compact. Everywhere I ask they tell me Sony xperia are notorious for corrupting sd cards. At first I was trying with a class 3, cheap 64gb sd card. After a while mp3 files that a put on wouldn't play and would get corrupted, same with photo and video.

So I bought an expensive Sony class 10 64gb. Burnt my pocket but figured it was the cheap sd card problem.. Went OK for a couple of weeks saving all my stuff to sd for games etc. But it started corrupting again for no reason. It's a huge shame but definitely going to move to another brand of smartphone. It's a huge inconvenience. And I see the same problem reported A LOT.
