• Check whether the WMV file is on the internal memory of your smartphone or whether an error occurred during the copying process.
• Download an app from the Google Play Store that can play WMV files, such as the MX Player or VLC for Android Beta.
• You can use the apps to search your device for the relevant files. The MX Player in particular offers additional setting options. For beginners, however, the VLC Player with a more user-friendly interface is recommended.
