Hi guys, first post here so please be gentle with me lol!
My Xperia S finally got the ICS update which pretty much wrecked my life. Generally it has been an awful week with most of my contacts disappearing, my calenders getting wrecked and loads of other bugs. (missed a client meeting this week due to the calender messing up!)
I'm gradually getting everything back together but have now found yet another bug and wonder if you can help.
Any video shot since the update cannot be played back on other devices. It plays back perfectly on the phone but if I export it to a PC it fails to play giving a 'Media Player encountered an error' notice.
If I try to import it into a video editing suite it fails saying 'unsupported format, and if I try to convert it using a conversion program it fails saying 'cannot open file'
All videos shot prior to the ICS update work fine on all devices, are editable and convertable.
What have Sony done?? What can I do to get access to my vids?
Thanks
It sounds like the videos you make now goes corrupted in some way. I suggest that you copy all important data from your internal storage to your computer and then format your Internal storage memory. Settings > Storage.
Now try to record a new video and check if the same problem still remains.
Why do you think it is corrupted? It plays fine on the Xperia but is not playable on anything else?
I really dont want to lose everything from my internal storage. This phone has been complete rubbish and every single time it gets updated, syncs or does anything I lose information.
Your suggestion sounds like quite a lot of work so I want to be sure that is what it is before going to that extreme. The sony backup software is awful and I just know I'll end up losing half my life with this!
Hello? Any ideas?
Please can anyone actually help with this?
