Hope this is the right section...
I use the Samsung preinstalled audio recorder on my SGS2. It's a nice app, but when it crash, or when i put in pause a recording, instead of stopping it, and for any reason i connect the galaxy to the pc as mass storage memory, the unfinieshed recording file result in a corrupted .3ga file (to be exact, the file remain in the root of the memory with the following name: ".voice.3ga"). This file can't be played. And as a .3ga, i wasn't able to find a repair tool that works fine with this extension/codec. But i'm sure the audio file is stored in this ".voice.3ga", because it is 26 mb.
Did you ever experienced crashes of Samsung recorder during recording action? How can i recover the corrupted ".voice.3ga" file?
Please help me: it is an important recording!
No one can help???
Google /XDA search might help.
One such XDA post changed file name to .mp3

I tried google and xda search before opening this 3d: XDA is always my last chanche/resource, when i find nothing out there... I saw the 3d you are refferring to, but was not helpful: it wasn't about a corrupted .3ga file. I also tried changing the extension .3ga to .mp3 just to use mp3 repair tool (for example to delate the header and give a clean to the file), but it didn't work. Only a specific software that repair .3ga file can work (or, at least, a workaround to recover/close correctly the record on the Galaxy S2), but i found nothing until now.
Thanks for the info.
Still in trouble...
Same issue
Hi,
I am having the same problem. I recorded our concert last Saturday on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the standard recording application, which I have used many times before.
As usual the file has a .3ga extension and it is 100 Mo, which is realistic for about 2 hours of recording.
When I rename it on my computer to .3gp and try to play it with the VLC player, I can see that its length is 1 hour 57 minutes. But VLC does not play it. No error message.
I did the exactly the same procedure last Thursday and last Friday: I can read those previous recordings without any problem. so something went wrong with this last recording and I am trying to repair the file.
I have tried to convert the file to another audio format using a converter online : it did not work. The target file is empty.
I have also tried to repair the file by renaming it as .3gp and using a program called Video Repair with a reference file (the recording of the day before). No success. I get an error message with "movdump.exe".
So right now all my trials to repair this audio file have failed.
Has anyone already experienced this problem... and solved it?

I never found a solution for the corrupted files. Now i have SGS3, and seems to suffer of the same problem.
What i can suggest for the future recordings, to avoid this problem, is to ensure that the recording app is not in background, or at least that android "understand" that the recorder app must have priority in ram allocation. Because i think that is the lack of ram in this 2 devices (coupled with poor ram management by android OS) that cause the issue. So what can you do to minimize the issue?
1) if possible take the recorder app active (not in background)
2) if you need to put the appa in background, use the home buttone to go to the recent app, and tap on the recording app. Do this twice, and android will give an higher priority to the recording app, also if it at the end of this procedure you press "Home" and the recording app goes in backgroung. I guess that in such way android understand that when it reallocate ram from unused apps, it hasn't to recall it from recording app.
3) close telephone (better to close all connections) and mute the volume.
4) do not open (too many and too heavy) apps.
Sorry if i can't help more.....
So as you know, the stock video player has this feature which plays short clips of all the videos you have. This is great and all, but I find that when I insert my sd card which contains lots of mkv videos, it causes a horrible lag when opening the video player. I assume it's because the phone takes a while to generate previews for the mkv files, since it doesn't happen when I insert another sd card that contains just as many videos, but in other formats.
So, my question is, is there a way to disable the video preview? Like maybe editing a text file somewhere?
Bump
Thread moved to proper forum.
Dear Friends,
I just lost very important video on Galaxy Grand, actually it was my marriage video, the name of video was vie.mp4 i was renaming the video and by mistake i wrote only .mp4 in es file explorer and suddenly my video disappeared.
now i am not been able to find my video any where, i searched my whole phone + external card but didn't find the video.
please help me i even don't have any other copy of that video!!!!
The downloaded videos become shareable only after I move them to another folder. If I return the video to the original download folder the file stays shareable. I'm using the s6 syock video player to share the files with samsung smart tv.
When I click MORE in the native player, the options -editor and -delete become available only after moving the file to a different folder (share option is always there but works only after I move the file). What is the problem here, why is the video sharable only after moving it to another folder.
Thanks for reading
No talk of torrenting is allowed on XDA. This post will be closed pretty quick. Might want to change your wording
Just looking out for ya.
Hi,
I am using an app called Axissoft Star Player which opens video from a particular website. Videos can be downloaded or streamed through the app. But, if I download a video from the app, the video files downloads with a .con file type extension with a validity of only two days. After 2 days, the app doesn't play the video. Even if I change my phone date and download a video, it even not works.
Is there any way to remove the expiry or to view the video files somewhere else?
Thanks in advance.
