New to andriod: Why won't some of my photos load.

[mapexmbirch]

So I bought a Samsung Galaxy s2 off ebay and I have been using it for about 4 days.
I have put 6GB of music on the internal memory and I have tried putting a couple 700Mb videos and 7GB of photos on to a 32GB micro SD card but only about 20 of the photos load and one of the videos loads and plays fine but I can't skip it along and the other says unsupported file extension even though both are AVI. The pictures are GIF, JPG and PNG a few of each load.

I am using Kies to sync the photos and running 2.3.5

I Also another thing the phone was originally T mobile but was unlocked and I have a orange SIM. Do you have to root the phone to unlock it? And could this be causing the issues.
Also the SD card was cheap

Sounds like the pic and video are corrupt.

Where did you buy the SD Card? If it wasn't a reputable seller (or was off eBay) most likely it isn't actually a 32GB card so isn't storing the content but overwriting it and corrupting what's there.

Mount the phone as storage on your PC and see if you can view/play them directly from the phone on your PC.

If you copied them from the SD Card to the internal memory on the phone they'll still be corrupt. You need to re-download them directly onto the internal memory or a genuine SD Card.

And no, you don't need to root to SIM unlock the phone.

I think your right, I just copied a 2.7Gb film onto the SD card directly from the computer and VLC player told me 'This AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly' That would explain why I couldn't skip that video.

I bought it off ebay, 32GB Micro SD SDHC Micro Memory Card Class 10 + Free Adapter | eBay

Thanks
