Ok so I did something pretty stupid and tried to let my friend copy avatar to his HD2 and it ended up locking the file. For some reason the movie itself is in 3gp format and not dcf like everyone else said from what I searched but I do remember it being in dcf before. Now the movie won't play and it says "unsupported file type". How can I possibly get this back? I know xda doesn't condone posting up movies so maybe someone could email it to me? Help me out here please.
Try renaming it back to the original extension .dcf. Are your sure its not the trailer you are seeing that is in .3gp format? The trailer is supposed to be in 3gp and the actual movie should be dcf
how are you suppose to rename it back...? No i'm not getting it mixed up with the trailer. Both of them are in 3gp. Like I said, I do remember it being in dcf before.

Transfer the file back to your computer and rename it back (windows: right click rename) then transfer it back to your phone, or on your phone download and open a 3rd party file manager and long click on the file and select rename.
you can't rename the file type. That doesn't work...
send me ur email i have files saved to my computer
I have never had a problem renaming the file type. It obvously got renamed somehow if it is a 3gp now. Unless you tried to convert it.

Download Astro from the market and rename the file. That should do it for you, I had the same problem. It works.

You can share the file or offer to share the file here. Its copyright protected material and is not allowed to be shared here.
OP if you can't rename it and it won't play you are SOL.
This happened to me, the exact same thing... How did I solve this problem?
I went back to T-Mobile playing stupid, like I didn't do anything and told them I tried to open the movie and doesn't work, like it came defective or something. The went to the back and replaced my SD for one from a new phone... DONE!! just don't tell them you tried to copy it or anything... it just doesn't work and never did!
for future reference... copy the file to the main memmory on the phone, then insert the SD from the HD2, then copy from the phone to the SD... done! it won't lock
It aint gonna play in any other device but a Vibrant anyway.
Download Astro file manager, look for the SD folder and tap it to open, look for Movie and tap it, then long-press on the avatar.3gp file and tap edit, then tap rename.

I tried going to tmobile and getting an SD card from one of the returned vibrants but the rep working told me that swapping out sd cards wouldn't fix it. I knew he was completely wrong but I just went along with what he said anyways cause there was probably no convincing him to give me another card. I just ended up calling samsung for a replacement card. All I have to do is ship mine out and they'll send me one back.
Well I was about to mail it out to samsung but forget that now. Renaming it with astro worked! Thanks!
good thing it worked. I f'ed up mines the first day LOL cuz I was trying to put my SD from my old HD2 (16gb) and on the copy process I screwed it, but like I said, they swaped it at tmobile, so he was just talking crap or didn't have one to give you

Glad you got it working
I'm confused. You think losing Avatar is a BAD thing??? Hell, the first thing I did on my phone - even before I left the TMO store - was to pull that Avatar-containing card out and replace it with another one. Without blue people on it.
So, anyone know how to fix it when I play Avatar, and it tells me "Sorry, License Expired"

Hi All,
I have a new TMOUS HD2 with the stock rom. I've flashed HSPL and I've added a few tweaks such as landscae mode. Nothing too much for now.
Problem I'm having is that every time I navigate to the music player it seems to hang and I end up getting the "send to M$" notice and phone's locked up. Then I have to restart the phone again.
I have the music stored on my storage card under Music/Artist/Album/Song and I have about 4 gigs worth.
Any ideas to what this could be? Appreciate the help.

You flashed HSPL, but not a new rom?
I would start by putting just one or two mp3's on your phone's onboard storage, then pulling the card out, soft-resetting, and then seeing if your music tab finds and is able to play those couple of mp3's without locking up.
If it works fine then, you're probably experiencing the same issue many HD2 owners have been dealing with when accessing a large volume of files on the SD card. There's a number of suspected causes, mainly relating to the fact that the music (and documents) tab(s) index the whole contents of the card to find and catalog those types of files for quick use in the tabs. Therefore, a large number of files on the card seem to bog down not just those tabs but often the whole phone.
Another cause is believed to be the fact the factory card shipped with the HD2 is only a class-2 card, the slowest of all the speed ratings. If you have access to a faster card (class-4, -6, etc), even if it's a smaller size card, try that and see if it improves things any. If not, then your only other option right now is to reduce the number of files on your card until it doesn't lock up when sense tries to index it all. It's rumored that there's an update coming shortly from HTC/Tmobile, and I'm hoping that it might address this issue, but I'm not holding my breath.
I personally believe that the code used to do that indexing just isn't able to scale to the volumes of files seen now in the larger SD cards.
EDIT: Also, if you're not using it, be sure to turn off the "recent documents" tab...I don't know that it will clear up the problems with the music tab, but it can possibly help avoid lagging overall.
I can see what you mean about the indexing. Does it index each time the phone is rebooted or does it store the indexing in cache that's reused?

I honestly wish I knew
I've been trying hard to come up with a solution to this issue, and I'm afraid that's one of the unknowns that I'm struggling with...how/when exactly the process is triggered, and whether or not there's any cacheing. I suspect that it indexes (in some form anyway) much more often than every reboot, as you'll see if you delete a music file, and see how quickly the list in the music tab reflects that change.

Sirphunkee..I remember a while back when I first started reading this HD2 forum. Since before I was in the Wing Section. I read somewhere about copying a file to the startup in the windows folder. I cant remember exactly what file it was but it had to do with the music so when you woke the phone up it automatically started queing up the music that way when you went to click on the music tab it was already cached and ready to play?! I have yet to come across that thread again so that I could try it out?!

Ok cool, thank you! I hadn't heard about that one, so I'll go look for it and see if it gives me any insight. Did you have TF3D (the older version of sense) on your Wing, with a music tab? Maybe this is behavior that HTC added to sense at some point, with the same exact intent in mind...
you can disable the docindexservice perhaps it will be of some help. I don't use NRG ROM but the cook did put this cab out and you can give it a try, if it doesnt work just simply uninstall it and your settings will be back to normal

Sweet! Thanks again Jimmy...I'm gonna dig into this when I get home this evening, and poke around in the registry area it changes (HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService).
I'm curious if it just does the same thing as turning off the documents tab, or if turning off the service is a wider-reaching change. Since this is the personal handiwork of NRG, I'll ping him too, but I know he's busy.
there are a number of possibilities (though i agree its likely to be the indexing)
don't use sync to copy the music, use disk mode, or put the sd in the comp
excessively long path\filename.mp3
extended set ASCII characters in the mp3 tags,,,
i'd copy over a few dozen albums at a time, see if there's a noticeable point which problems start.

Hahaha thanks Sam...I JUST finished reading over the same thread LOL Very helpful, and it's given me some further insights into this.
toreone, the first think I noticed common to your problem and the one in the thread samsamuel posted is that your music has a rather deep file structure (4 layers deep). I haven't seen anybody mention that in the troubleshooting, so it might be worth seeing if the same volume of music, but no more than 2 folders deep, still gives the same issue.
Also, in that thread, sammybusse made and posted the cab below, which makes simple registry change related to chacheing: HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\FATFS
EnableChache 1 (changed from 0 to 1). So, perhaps the problem stems from the fact that it wasn't chacheing, rather than doing it too aggressively..
I haven't had a chance yet to poke around with it, but I think it's certainly safe enough to try and see if it makes any difference for you (it helped some people in that thread).
Another solution tried there, that had some level of success, was making sure you don't have any of the mp3's set as "read only"

Nibbley, when I did this, for some reason the file would only be renamed as AudioManager_Eng.lnk.exe. And once you do it, you can't seem to delete the file. Just a heads up.

Alright well randomly when i would go to the photo album i could scroll through a few photos, then "We're Sorry..." A problem has occured with Manila.exe
I did some research and people that tried formating their SD Card, got it to work again. Well since it worked for them i decided to try it...not knowing its just going to delete everything from my SD Card...So I deleted everything from my SD Card.. now what? I take it i should do a factory reset? Will that put all the default stuff back on the SD Card, like Transformers 1 & 2?
At the moment i writing all my contacts down...but can someone please help me figure this out? I just wanna go to bed cause i got work in the morning..
The HTC HD2 is such a hassle, theres always something wrong with it.
The movies are gone. Sorry. Do a backup or copy sdcard contents to your desktop next time.
Nope. You should always back up your content that is on your SD card before you format. Its gone for good.
Well **** my lifeee. Ok would T-Mobile be able to fix this? Cause this is just getting too confusing. I hate this phonneee...also my phone isnt reading my SD Card.

Do you have it connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode? If so, your phone won't see your SD card while it's connected that way, only while it's connected via activesync.

Not the movies. The games etc can be found in the sticky at the top of this section titled "Links to cabs, ROMS, how to's, & Jaime's "New to WinMo & Absolute newbie tweak guide"...in there are links with all the other stock apps from the HD2 (and a bunch of other stuff you should probably check out).
You might be able to go to a T-Mo store and see if they will swap out your sdcard with one from a return unit.
Don't give up on your hd2, it is a great phone. Everyday I find something new about my phone that makes me happy I went with it. WinMo is complicated, but once you get it set up, it runs really well.
Well im kinda stuck with this phone for 2 years. Not much I can do. So far it pisses me off alot, like when i receive a text, my phone freezes for about like 15 seconds while it loads to my phone. That and the fact its slow and it just fails as an OS.

You really need to read that new-to-winmo guide in the thread I mentioned above. In fact, here's the direct link for you:

Then go back and read everything else in that thread I pointed you to...with a little care, WM can be a wonderful OS...I wouldn't trade it for any other, personally. There's solutions for every one of the issues you've mentioned, if you'll just take the time to read and learn here at xda.
I believe there is s fix for the text lag, but I don't know where it is. I must be lucky because I don't have the text or music tab lags. I have around 500 texts with about 350 from one person and I get very little lag loading messages and I have 8 plus gb of music and the sense music player works great.
Try Cookies Home Tab or maybe one of the custom roms.
Okay well I still cant view my photos without "Manila.exe" to crash. Should I just restore my phone, or is there a fix.

Yes if it's still doing that after the card reformat, a hard-reset might be the best shot at clearing it up. Are these pics you've taken with the camera, or ones you copied to your SD card? If it's the latter, how many pics do you have on there?
Also, just fyi, you don't have to write your contacts down to save them...if you just run the myphone app that's already on your phone, it will back them up along with your text messages, and allow you to restore them to the phone after a hard-reset or a ROM flash.
Well i saved a bunch of pictures i got off google on too my phone, and thats when it started having the error. Um where is the myphone app located?
You can copy all your contacts to your sim card instead of writing them down...just saying to save you some time.

or use mobile back up.
But make sure your MicroSD isn't corrupt. Try a different MicroSD and see if it works. It might be the card reader in the phone.
Might be able to get a warranty replacement if that is the case.
Im just going to use Microsoft My Phone its easier, and i dont have to click one by one just to add contacts to my sim card. Um im sure my SD card is fine, it just has nothing on it lol. Im going to run the the T-Mobile store tomorrow and see if then can exchange the SD card for one with all the default stuff on it.
Alright well i backed up everything i needed on Microsoft My Phone. Now im just going to do the hard reset.

Something went horribly amiss while trying to transfer the movie from the preinstalled 2 gig to my 8 gig memory card. Although I was able to play the movie one time on my vibrant, the Avatar icon now says "File Not Found" when clicked. I cleared the 2 gig sd card before giving it away so now I'm left without a copy. Is there anyway I could procure a copy from a forum member or is the issue phone related?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you moved avatar.dcf you're fine. The icon is set for a specific location which would be where it was on the SD card before and now that it's not, the shortcut icon doesn't work. I moved my copy of Avatar to the internal SD card with EStrongs File Manager (Copy not cut).
Well I click on the folder named Movie on my SD card, but it is no longer there. I'm not sure what I should do? Could Samsung give me another copy or am I just out of luck?

Will that require root? I've rooted my old MyTouch so I'm not worried about that, but I don't think I'm quite ready to root this phone.
The rom dump that was posted by Wes doesn't include Avatar.
i was actually wondering where Avatar went, but thanks to this thread I know that's because it is on the SD card and not internal storage.
Funny, I accidentally deleted my copy of avatar as well. One of the first things I did was take a few test videos, to get a feel for the quality, and when I was going through removing them I clicked the wrong thing and avatar was gone.
No big deal though, I didn't really want to watch it for the fourth time anyway.
I accidentally deleted Avatar through camcorder app as well. There is no file info given and just a plain "broken" icon, so I deleted it. No warning from the OS either. Lame. T-mobile store would not replace the phone without a restocking fee (manager was a nightmare). I called Samsung and was told that since the movie is installed after-market on the external SD, there is nothing they can do to replace the file. So it is all on TMO to help anyone with this issue. TMO customer care does not have a direct link to a download and will not send a replacement SD. Finally I got the rep at the store to agree to swap my SD with the next Vibrant return that comes in. That's good enough for me. Avatar is waaaay to easy to inadvertently delete from the phone without warning. Be careful.
I HAD the same problem. I put the movie on a 16GB SDHD and the link broke, as in "File Not Found" The folder I put it in I called 'Movies' and it should have been 'Movie'. Once I took the s off of the folder name the link worked again.

You could try to go a T-mobile store and see if they have any in returns (which might be hard I haven't had any returned yet) and see if they can swap out the 2gig card for you.
The problem being that each copy of the file is licensed to an individual phone - even if you get another copy, it may not play.

I actually JUST left the store minutes ago...(bought a gel case...$16.99, lol)
He actually said they haven't had ANY returns, and they've sold about 70 phones which he was SURPRISED at...he said it's unlike any other phone he's sold(and that it's made him a few dollars this month.)
Any other options? or do I just wait for a return?
i accidentally deleted avatar too. but thankfully the tmo store by my job had a return. they swaped out the sd cards and it works. you may have to wait awhile for a return but atleast you'll get it back. the only other way i can think of is if you have the dvd you could rip the movie and put it on your phone.

OK, well if this is true, I stand corrected: I guess the DRM isn't tied to an individual device.
You know what's funny? I deleted it on purpose. Don't get your panties in a bunch it's just a movie.

Same issue, movie just got deleted. This wan't an issue of the file being moved, it just vanished. Took it to local Tmobile store where they swapped my Vibrant with a new one. Employee said this has been happening with some frequency, files and apps just get deleted with no explaination. Happy with the new phone, GPS works 100x's better the previous one.
Hello room, First post and new to modding. I updated my Vibrant(OTA J16) and my Avatar file is now gone. The widget is still there but movie is lost. Also when I'm in a call and recieve a text, the text message ringtone plays in the handset during my coversation very annoying. Did this happened to anyone else, little help please. I'm rooted and running stock Rom.
Well if you lost the file its gone foreva! But you can always reflash stock and start from scratch. Plenty of threads about how to do it.
Having the same problem. Anyone know where the file is physically located?
File is still there. It is the correct 1.4G big. In the past people recommended reseating the micro sd. Will try that next.

Try finding it within the Video Player app. If it's still on the external SD card media scanner would have found it.
I'm having the same issue. It's saying "Avatar.dcf is locked. Do you want to unlock it now?"
I say yes and it does nothing. At first I would be able to play it through the video player ( the shortcut wouldn't work) but I rebooted and now it won't play at all.
Reseating the microSD card doesn't work. Will try to call Tmobile next.
Hello everyone,
I tried finding a solution for this on Google and through the forums here and fell short.
When I record mp4 files with the Camcorder on my HD2 that are larger than, say 90MB, they do not play on the device (when you tap the file, nothing happens). Also, when I copy these files on my Windows PC, Quicktime prompts a "Bad Public Movie Atom".
I cannot find a way to recover these files...and it does not happen with smaller mp4s.
Anybody experience this/found a fix for it?
Really? No one's experienced this? Sorry for being a little desperate and bumping this thread...but if anyone can help...would be much appreciated. I figured if anyone could help, it would be the guys at XDA. Thanks again.
Have you tried playing them with some other program?
Yes I have...Quicktime...RealPlayer...Windows Media Player...Media Player Classic...Divx Player. I always get a random error message about how the file cannot be played back. They will not play on my Archos 5IT either. Very frustrating. What is surprising to me is that no one else has reported similar behavior on the HD2, at least to my knowledge.
Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me...as I frequently record stuff thats like 150+MB for my YouTube...and they work just fine. What kinda SD card and formatting are you using?
I am using the 16gb SanDisk SD card that came with the phone (class 2 I believe). I have not changed the formatting since I bought it.
Well man, that is just terrible all the way around...uhm, have you tried hard resetting? I am at a total loss here.
try open the file in some tag editor software, change any tag, save it. See what happens, and let us know.

Thanks for the tip. Installed Mp3Tag v2.46a. When I try to save the tag I get an error message: "File cannot be opened for writing". The file is not set to Read Only...so I am not sure why I am getting this message.
ah well, it was just something i came across on google.
Well, seems that I found the root to the problem. I backed up all the contents of my SD card to the computer, then formatted the SD card, using the format function on my HD2. After I restarted and copied all my backed up content back, the camcorder now shoots videos normally...and they come out much smaller in size than before. The down-side is, the corrupt videos I took before will not work, and I still have no way to fix them, even after trying all the suggestions that come up after a Google search.
I just felt obliged to share...if you are shooting corrupt videos with your HTC HD2...format your SD card, and it will solve the problem for future videos.
