Xfinity TV app: Any way to keep downloaded offline movies? - General Questions and Answers

hi! I recently moved from a xfinity area so i cancelled my service 3 WEEKS AGO and they said billing would end...however my service is shockingly still going as I was able to download The Muppets from Xfinity TV app and it works offline turning data and wifi off..but..where is it on my phone??
It HAS to be somewhere as I had to remove several apps as it ran out of space and my phone and my samsung device let me know this.it's NOT on the SD card. .I looked in the root in data/data/xfinity.tv area and nothing in the internal memory either that I could find....any way I could move the movie to my SD card? or no dice = /

App2SD question

I have a LG ally from verizon but the actual service is not on and i was wondering is there a way that i can still get apps by having a active phone download apps to the SD via A2SD from the android market and place that sd card into my phone and have the same app or transfer it from the sd card?
any input would be appreciated.
yes
yes there are some sites out there that allow you to download apps to your PC
BUT if you have a wireless router, u can download from android market using WiFi
no cell service required!
another option is to go to a cafe that has free WiFi near you and sit outside and download
hope this helped

[Q] Memory issues

Hi,
I have a question and I am hoping you can help me solve it. I purchased a Galaxy S Blaze 4G for my wife. I downloaded the "hide it pro" app from the google store for this phone. Before all this, I have performed a factory reset. I have an 8GB microSD card installed in the device as well. I have never had a problem with installing the app, transferring of personal files which are mostly videos, until this phone. I used to have a Mytouch and had no problems, and I now have an HTC ONE which I definitely dont have any problems. So I'm thinking it may be the phone. (Galaxy S Blaze) With multiple attempts, I have downloaded the app, have gone into the settings and tried even to move the app to the SD card, after I tried transferring less than 2GB worth of files to the app which was about 20/24 files, I would try to go back into the gallery and the phone indicates that "not enough memory, please delete some items." Again, I have never had a problem with this. Can you please help? It seems as though it is saving it to the actual device, instead of the memory card where it originally was to be transfered from to the actual App. Before I started doing anything, the "System storage was 83.25/1.12GB, USB storage was 0.0/1.40GB, and SD card showed 222MB/7.39GB. After installing the app and trying to transfer the files, i went back into the Task Manager/Storage and it now showed that the USB storage was maxed out at 1.40/1.40GB and SD card showed 222/7.39GB still. What do I have to do? The app also worked fine on her old Galaxy SII before she broke the screen. Thats the only reason I purchased this for her. She loves Samsung products, just couldnt afford the S4. Can you gimme some hints on how to resolve?
Sincerely,

Which os are you running? If you are on stock ICS your SD card is located at /sdcard/external_sd. If you are on cm10 or 10.2 the 8gb card is located at /external_sd or /storage/sdcard1

Very strange background data behavior

I have had the WD 2 Go app installed for a while and hardly used it at all, but today I got a notification that my device was too hot and would shut down. I then checked and saw that WD 2 Go had used something like 40% of my battery, and had used 2152 mb on LTE! (I did confirm this was billed by ATT and not just indicated by my device) So somehow the app opened itself and started a download or a stream. My internal storage is now 100% full and I cannot find any files on my internal storage that would correspond to this. (My microsd slot is currently not working).
And a little while after I stopped the WD 2 Go app and restricted background data I noticed Google Play music started something similar except this time I was on wifi. And I find it odd because I have rarely if ever used Google Play music and definitely not recently.
Yes, I have installed ATT's most recent update from 9/10.

Smart Switch issue

My wife's gold S7 arrived last night, and she is transitioning from an 128GB S6. I installed a 64GB microSD card before turning it on.
I decided to use the phone-to-phone Smart Switch application. The problem is that it transferred all 30GB of photos/music/videos into the S7's internal storage. I had to manually move all the media files to the SD card so the migration could complete.
I expect to get my black S7 on Monday (also from an 128GB S6). Is there some kind of setting in Smart Switch that defaults moving media files directly to the SD card? Thanks in advance.
^ Yes, when the devices connect, it asks you exactly what you want to transfer. I chose only applications. Worked well, saved me from having to hunt them down one by one in the Play Store. Still can't believe Google doesn't have a proper cloud based backup for this (the one in Google Settings didn't work on the S7, shocker...).

Note 20 ultra Disappearing video, unrecognizable file type.. and more crazy things. HELP!

So last week the tornadoes hit my hometown in Western Kentucky. If you watch TV, then you have seen it. 75% of the town is wiped out.. I have (should I say had) amazing video from that along with the destruction, the fear, there aren't really words for it all.. several friends are having issues with insurance and looting. I'm hoping some of their belongings are on my videos so police can prosecute the looters. (Totally not cool to steal from people who just lost everything.) Here's my dilemma
A couple days prior I changed My settings in my phone to record straight to sd card so I didn't have to move files to it. It's a SDHC. 1024GB MICRO SD. It was formatted because I've been using it for a while... just moving photos over to it from my gallery, no problem. Later that day I went to show the video and when I opened gallery I watched every video I had disappear and be replaced with the grey box and white exclamation. Photos I took are fine... eventually it has now greyed out 95% of my video.
I've tried playing on pc, with vlc, media player, Samsung video player, "unrecognizable file format " They are mp4. Here's what I noticed interesting.
I checked the SD card and it says healthy, no bad sectors.
The time length on each video says 0.00
The size of the file is different from the size shown in my explorer on my phone, pc, and what's shown by a file explorer/recovery program
I changed my settings back to record to the internal memory but still nothing.
I'm guessing headers or something didn't transfer or or hell who knows
I've changed the file extension and name. Nothing
I've tried converting but the file type isn't recognized.
Help! Here's photos of what I see
The last time I saw something like this, there was an issue with the card, not the phone. That doesn't necessarily mean that's your issue. But it's highly probably.
I agree it's the most likely scenario. Best thing to do is take a few similar test videos and replicate what you did on a new or different microsd card and see how it turns out. If it works and retains it then it's the original card. If not then it's an issue with the phone/ hardware itself.
I actually ended up copying the card and put it back in... the recordings I made next were fine! No settings were changed, and it's only the one Day they messed up... could it be because there was zero cell signal in town? Nothing could upload to the cloud.... I know moving files or even recording straight to sd will leave file pieces and signal most definitely should not affect storage on a device. I did get this data off one video though. Any ideas?
I've never heard of a data connection messing with storage of a device unless that device is separate and not directly connected. Again, doesn't mean it can't happen. But the most likely problem is still the card. You said you copied everything back on, what is happening to new content?
