Default Avatar movie deleted from SD card automatically?

I plugged in my Vibrant through it's stock cable and click "yes" so I could copy some photos into my Vibrant but when I turned off the mass USB storage, Avatar was no longer there.

I did NOT touch the SD card or even opened it up in Windows so I have no clue as to why it's not showing up, it looks like the SD card has all of it's free space available though. Is there someway to re-download avatar? I got my phone yesterday but this sucks if I can't.

you can't get it back, just go to the tmobile store and say that the movie never worked. don't tell them you did anything, that it came like that and they have to give you a replacement SD (they did to me when I messed up my avatar movie tryin to copy it to another SD)

DONATE TO ME
I had this happen to me too. Good thing I backed it up to my computer when I first bought the phone. But also, I have noticed that for some reason, this phone will delete files on its own sometimes. I've had pictures & video's gone missing without me doing anything.

I work at a t-mobile store. I had enough customers come in with issues concerning that movie file that I ended up making a copy of it to provide an easy remedy. Some people don't realize that the movie is on the SD to begin with and they toss it in exchange for a larger one. I figure that its simpler to just copy the movie to the new card instead of hassling with exchanging phones/sd cards out.

Anyway, I would just go in to your local store and see if anyone working that day has a vibrant with them (if not see if they have one that was returned). If they're nice/competent, perhaps you can just have them make a copy for you.

As for your BAN, it is normally printed on the receipt (listed as account number or similar iirc). If not, you can get it through the online account management or by calling 611.
