Am I the only one who has received this message when trying to start Avatar?
+1 me too, looks like tmo didnt spring for the unlimited license for it. Just what, 30 days?

It's a known issue, occasionally it happens. The only current solve is to do a master reset. If you're rooted, a nandroid restore may work too.
hmm weird i got my vibrant on release day and just watched half of Avatar today on it. but ive been flashing roms here and there would that have something to do with it?
avatar doesn't expire
Samsung sez avatar doesn't expire.
Google "vibrant avatar expire". it's like the second link.
I had this happen on my replacement phone. I think it was because I restored everything via Titanium Backup so the DRM settings were changed.
Either way I did a factory reset and the movie now plays. Guess I won't restore DRM this time. Somewhat of a hassle for just a movie on a 4 inch screen.

Lol, the first thing I did was delete Avatar .. I mean... seriously, it's not essential to the operation of the phone, once you've seen it you've seen it. Must make room for the pr0n... oh wait, Allshare means I don't have to do that either... hmm...
Glad you got it working though
If you stopped the DRM service from running, you need to turn it back on.
I had stopped the service and had to reboot my phone then Avatar played.
What I did was:
Move avatar to internal memory
Unmount sd card
Format sd card
Move avatar back to sd card
Reboot phone
Done

I have a rooted vibrant with lag fix, the day before yesterday my camera wad working fine, but now when I went to it today it gives me a warning saying not enough memory, yet my internal is showing 910mb and my sd has 10.3gb. The only thing I can think of howe this might be messed up is I installed metamorph last night, buy never even tried to apply a theme being that the file did not unzip properly. Besides that,i only installed an app called disk usage (which doesn't even ask root permission) from thee time I took my last photo. Any ideas on how to fix this before I reinstall my nandroid backup to see if that works?

I changed the directory where the files go to the phone instead of the sd, because in reality my true sd was full but the phone memory sd is not.

I posted a fix for this a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752471&highlight=Database+Storage+Low
looks like the thing to do is click on the warning and delete the bloated contacts link and you will be fine.
First time happened was back in about a month ago. One day I noticed some of my pictures were gone ( may be 15 to 20 of them ) I could not find them in any where such as SD card internal/external the strange thing was some pictures still there until today so the defective SD card is ruled out and I was still using the stock firmware 2.3.3 then I also noticed there are other pictures ( almost 100 of them ) not actual pictures they just blank but all with different file names like: My piano, A day in Hollywood etc, etc.
No body has been messing up my phones because it stays with me at all times. The question is who deleted my pictures and put a bunch of files back? Could it be happened remotely like some one using Bluetooth to mess around if the person is happened to be near by? later on I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4 through KIES and hope it will help me to solve the mystery but it did not. By now I know those pictures are long gone...
Two or three days later I upgraded my phone to 2.3.5 until I found the official FW XWKL1 here in XDA, again, upgraded.
So some days later I decided to change song for my ringtone I found out all of them have been replaced by some files with number names. 41203,41204 the list go on...When I use Astro to look for my songs and they are all there ( inside the music folder ) I went back & click one of the number file to see what kind of song and the player pops up a message saying the file format is not supported. It took me almost 30 min to figure out and delete all the number files under MUSIC then I see all my songs back.
My question is has my phone been hacked or infected by viruses/spyware? Or software glitch? I don't have data plan. To go online I use my home wifi all the time.
If some one can help I'll be really appreciated.
Sounds like a problem with the sd card or phone itself.

But most of the pictures and songs are still there that was why I think the problem is not in SD card other than these problems the phone is functioning good in all aspect.
Highly doubt someones in ur phone.

Sounds like the card is corrupted. Just make a backup of everything on the card, and do a full format (not quick format) of it from your computer. That should fix it. I had a similar problem too recently. New files I transferred would get deleted and old deleted files would reappear. Maybe the file table is messed or something, I don't know, but a full format fixed it for me.
Note: Preferably use a card reader, or if you mount it as mass storage from your phone, do it from recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise just mount it as you would normally and proceed.

I had the same problem.
I had the same problem.
The solution was format SD card , after Back up some things i wanted from the card.
My music is currently saved on my external SD card. Every time I restart my phone, my music does not show up in the Google music app. I have to uninstall then reinstall the app for it to show in the app again. Does any one know why this happens and how I can fix it? I'm rooted but locked.

I have this same problem all i do is go to app settings and clear the apps data and force stop. Works for me but i don't think there is a fix.
I highly doubt this is a fix, but do you have download songs wifi only checked? When I unchecked that all my songs were deleted a couple of times. But after a while it started to work again. I dunno but you might want to try changing that and seeing if it fixes it

This is what pissed me off most about this phone.
Solution:
everyones best bet is to do the sd card mount swap.
if u didn't root, this is the biggest reason to. This switches the places of the 10 GB phone storage and your sd card. there are 2 threads about this in our development section. Find my post in either one of the threads and follow the directions.
I am even now so sick of the sd card not getting mounted on boot. But oh well cause I only use that 10 GB for ps1 games now. I decided to fill it with the most useless, replaceable files that took up a lot of space on the sd card.how they partitioned, and handled storage space on this phone is HORRIBLE.
This is the best solution, but u are still going to end up dealing with the 10 GB of space not mounting almost every time u start the phone. But u can just go remount it in settings. And I almost never have to do that cause I filled the space with ps1 games and only have to mount it when I play fpse.
Everything I just said is all over the place but go find the threads in development, I wrote everything much clearer.

Having problems with my sdcard....
I've moved videos to my ext sdcard and watched the free space go down and the videos are there. After a rebbot the free space is the same but the videos are not there!
The same issue happens when I delete something. After a reboot the deleted items are still there.
Bad sdcard? Or?
Thanks for the help
BTW I'm on 4.4.2 nc5 stock rooted.
Bad or corrupt is my guess. Might try formatting it in the phone or even a computer and see if the issues persist.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yea that was my guess also I just didn't want to assume and then go through all the stuff to format and move everything back and what not.
Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. By the way the microsd might be a goner.
Well I made a back up of my sdcard and tried to format with it in my phone and it won't format.
Windows won't even format it. Any ideas? Or is it just shot?
Thanks

Yeah it's shot.
I bought another one. I'm glad I was still able to get my data off of it :screwy:
To my misfortune today, I found that all the photos I've taken on my phone with the exception of today's are wiped. Is there a way for me to recover the data? This is a very serious problem as I am in Paris on a trip... thank you all in advance for all your help, and before someone says whether or not I wiped the photos, no, I didn't do any sort of accidental user input to wipe anything...
That's odd. I'm not sure. Do you use Google photos or other service as a backup?

Thanks for the response, I used to on my old phone, but I haven't had a chance to set it up yet at the time. After this impromptu data loss happened, I just set it up again, but it's too late for those lost photos. I don't think it's a hardware corruption on the SD card because my music and gameboy ROMs are intact. I think something in the software just wiped all the photos up to a certain point, that point being the last day of my trip. Anything before it is gone.

I'm not saying it's impossible that they're deleted, but it's not a very common thing to happen... Did you check that they're not locked in the stock gallery or haven't been renamed to a different file type?
As far as I'm aware, you can't restore deleted files without root.
I just got my photos back using Dr. Fone, root is required to pull the photos straight off but I just took out the SD card and the program can attempt to pull the photos off directly. Out if my 700+ photos only about 20 were permanently corrupted. I totally didn't expect this to happen and I am now curious whether this was Android's fault or LG's. I did have to pay 50 dollars for Dr. Fone.
It is also possible, since you're stating that you were using an SD card, that the card got corrupted. In that case it's not a fault of the phone, most likely

Good point, but I'd expect corruption to wipe more than just my photos. I say this because I am storing my music on the phone too, and all that as well as my PSP and Gameboy ROMs are still completely intact. It's like the phone just decided to wipe all my photos up to a certain point.
So I guess a fair warning to all, use some kind of background backup service like Google Photos.

Corruption can happen in various forms. It is completely possible that your file table sectors got corrupted, essentially "deleting" your Photos folder.
There's loads of programs you can use to recover deleted files from drives. This is a good place to start but there are tons. Just be careful where you download them from.

Yes the problem is the delete icon when you open up the gallery, you can miss one delete of a pic and mistakenly hit select all and boom all pics gone, happened to me on a trip with my g3 i didn't notice it in the spur of the moment taking pictures and when i tried to show of my awesome shots i noticed i deleted alllll of my pics and they were a looooot and i tried to recover them but most got corrupted and the only saved ones were the thumbnail cache for the real pics rendering them useless since they were small
