Android Central Question
I apologise for reposting the same question, however, I do not have an account here and I had details to add, please read to the end.
I've had a Samsung Galaxy S5 since May 2014. Up until just over a year ago I've been using a 2GB SanDisk SD card in it, but the storage was full, and so I changed it to a 16GB Samsung EVO SD card, moved everything from my phone onto it, then put the old card back and moved everything from there back onto the phone, all with no problems. A few weeks ago, the 16GB and the phone storage were both full, so I removed the SD card and put a new 16GB Samsung EVO plus into the phone. I then moved all of the videos, some 200, stored on the phone onto the new SD card. However, all except the GIF files didn't want to play on any video player player. I moved one video back to the source folder on the phone, but it still wouldn't play. I continued using the new card for a week, then I removed it and put my old card back. The video that I moved back to the phone still isn't playing. My old SD card is still full, but my phone has 1GB free now. I haven't used the new SD card again.
Is there a way of recovering these videos without having access to a PC, as I don't have one? What caused the problem? How do I prevent it in future?
Additional details- I haven't updated the software on the phone since I got it, so I've been using KitKat 4.4. However, a few days after putting in the new SD card and while It was still in, I accidentally updated the software to KitKat 4.4.2. It was after this that I removed the new card.
Also, I do not have any cloud backups of any of my data because I do not have enough monthly Internet data to upload it.
