Hey there,
I just recently made the move to the Note 4 after having the iPhone models for along as I can remember! I much prefer the Note 4 and so far have been happy in the short weeks I have had it.
However I am come across an issue that I have spent a huge amount of time trying to resolve without an resolution! Therefore thought would ask here! I bought a 128gb memory card just after I purchased this phone and big point of me doing that was so I could put a lot of movies and tv shows on it. I have downloaded a huge collection of movies (all in small sizes of just under 700mb each). Now I thought it would just simply be the case of loading them all onto the memory card and job done! Boy was a wrong as its been nothing but a headache since....apparently for whatever silly reason android phones don't seem to like mp4 files after doing some research online.
Now I have been to countless articles and suggestions, most state you basically have to covert them (which would be fun when I have 110 files ready to put on). Now if it REALLY had to come to that then I would do that over a huge period of time that it would take me but 1) surely there should be a much more logically solution to this? BUT worst if the converting is the only option, I still can't seem to get it to work as already gave a test video a go! I have used handbrake, fassoft, anymp4 test trial software and it still doesn't work!!!
I have done everything it says and selected android, even tried the option for standard android settings and another one for note but still it doesn't work when its put on my memory card. The best I get is the video appears to work initially after converted and play on the phone but then after 10 seconds starting playing up/going fuzzy and then the lovely message of "Unable to play video, sorry the video cannot be played!.
So naturally I am at my wits end of having no clue why something that really should be so simply is giving me so grief. If anyone with the note 4 or similar type of phone that has had this issue could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
