avatar problem

when i click on avatar it says "file not found". Is anyone else having this problem or is there a specific way to play it? thanks.

Did you remove or format the 2gb SD card that came with the phone? It was on there.

Do you have USB debugging enabled? Make sure that is disabled and try it. If that doesn't work reseat your micro sd card and you should be able to play avatar again...

Yes you were right. I removed the SD card and put my 16 gb one from my G1. I would've figured the avatar movie was on the phone. Thanks for the info

Avatar is the ONLY thing not on the phone's internal memory.

Which, IMO, is how it should be. What a waste of a gig and a half.

Wait, so after you swapped the memory cards the Avatar icon still shows up on the applications list even though there is no movie anymore. That's rather silly an a bit annoying. That movie is a fun thing to showcase the screen but who wants to keep it around forever. I was hoping that after I swap the card for a bigger one the phone would recognize that it is gone and the shortcut to it would be gone too. Is there a way to uninstall it?

I'm pretty sure you can just drop the shortcut into the garbage. I'm not sure if there is a way to uninstall it yet as I haven't done that.

1. Root
2. rm -r /system/app/Avatar.apk
3. rm -r /system/app/Avatar.odex
4. Enjoy.

I had the same issue. Called Tmo and they couldnt help. Called Samsung, and they said that if you remove the SD card, it will remove the file. Rep said he was going to send a new Memory card with it installed. Oh and yeah the Avatar Icon stays even if the file is gone. I'm not done showing off the screen yet, the movie looks so sick on it haha.

Just pull out the 2 gig card, put your 16 gig in the phone, hook them both up to your pc and drag the entire "movie" folder to your 16 gig card. I did this and it plays with no problem

. Still can't find a player that will support the dcf file format on my pc though...
