Internal Storage Wiped On Its Own - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I received my Nexus 10 a couple of days ago. I updated it first and kept it completely stock.
Since then I have had 2 random freezes. I resolve them by holding the power button and rebooting.
Just a few minutes ago, I connected my device to the PC via USB (not my first time), and tried to transfer some files but nothing was working on my PC (I could view the files but couldn't transfer). So I rebooted my tablet and discovered my internal storage had been wiped.
I am not impressed at all as I have lost some photos and other stuff which I was just about to back up...
Very disappointed actually

Backup your data!

This is a rant and a P.S.A.! Just lost all of my data on my micro sd card (the one that came with the phone - SanDisk class 2 16GB). I have a TMOUS HD2. I would use CWR backup and Titanium Backup (even have 3 history backup setup) to backup all of my data on my phone. I usually do a backup with Titanium Backup once a day.
Symptoms: Started about three days ago my phone just suddenly rebooted while just viewing my facebook friend stream widget. Didn't really thought about it because I know some people have been getting that too.
Two days ago while copying files within my phone using File Explorer, my phone restarted again. I though it was the File Explorer program 'cause when I used Root Explorer it worked fine. Later that night, I tried to play Angry Bird Seasons but it kept FC'ing on me. I restarted my phone and it worked fine after that. Then after a while it kept FC'ing again so I uninstalled Angry Birds Season and downloaded the game from the market and it was working ok again.
A day ago, I got a call but then the phone just froze up and everything lag. Waited five minutes then I was able to restart the phone up and it worked again.
Today, I noticed that my TypoClock widget was lagging and wasn't showing the current time (was about four minutes late from the time in the notification bar). I deleted the widget then put it back on and it was working ok again. I get a text message, the phone came on with the white screen but gets stuck in the white screen. I waited five minutes or so and still nothing. I restarted the phone and now it says I have a blank sd card. I plug the sd card in my pc with the adapted but still doesn't recognized the card at all. Tried to format the card with the phone but still no luck. Hard lesson learned.
So don't make the same mistake I did. Even if you do a lot of CWR backup or Titanium backup, remember to backup those files into your computer too.
thanks or all informations
try to use mybackup pro that one is nice backup software.
use sdfomatter to format your sd card .first try quick then full .
to backup your rom+app its good to use cwr.
but sd card always make problem to me also.last 2days ago at long last idid full format it takes more than an hour but lots of problem solved.
and so far it is working very nice .so far i dont have any problem .

[Q] Gallery lost

Hi everyone, im new here
So i recently upgraded my E7 to kitkat stock firmware and everything went fine however,
few days ago i noticed that there is no pictures i take with camera are saved to my gallery and once i opened the gallery
there was no pictures inside at all.
I rebooted my phone and the pictures were back but without the ones i took.
The small window in camera app is blank when its happening
Yesterday i have noticed same thing but not before evening and i have taking a lot of pictures that day so everythin
was lost. Like i didnt took them at all.
Sorry for bad English, hope you did understand me
Have you rooted the phone???
Same problem occurs to me too
Sometimes, suddenly my phone gets rebooted and after reboot Gallery seems to be empty. If i take new pictures from camera, those pictures doesn't get saved. I have to reboot my mobile to make it work again.
I checked, that KitKat when connect a pendrive by OTG, if disconnected by pressing the button on the top menu of the phone, what happens is that it's like also to expel the "Sd" phone memory. Thus the applications I have installed in the "external" memory of the mobile disappear. As the photos also go to the same partition, you maybe something happened.
The solution is, connect and disconnect "on the go". Not press this button. The system run and work perfectly!

Running out of Internal memory

2 weeks ago, I received a replacement S5 when the screen on my old phone died. At that time I rooted lollipop and everything was running fine.
Today, I woke up and the phone was complaining that it was running out of internal storage. I checked and it was 10.30GB/10.52GB. I deleted some files and brought usage down to 9.7GB. The phone stopped complaining. 2 hours later, the internal card is completely full. I deleted a few more files and again the card is full.
I have rebooted and turned off data to see if the phone might be downloading anything to the card. No luck. I even tried looking at the directory structure in ES File Explorer, but the darn program keeps crashing, probably because there is no free storage.
Does anyone know which directories are safe to delete/what data can be removed? would it make sense to go into the application manager and start deleting data from apps?
What the heck could be causing the internal card to be filling up? browser cache? buggy programs?
I also just remembered something else: when I woke up and unplugged the phone from an over night charge, the battery was not at 100%. I got to work and it complained that it was at 20%. I plugged it in and after 2 hours it's only up to 30%. I turned off the phone and it seems to be charging normally.

This will most likely fix all your storage issues. As for the battery percentage, that may have just been a fluke. I've had it happen once before.

I asked one of the techs here in the office and he suggested I do a factory reset. I titanium backed up everything and did the reset. I then reinstalled everything and memory is happy. Only 6.31of 10.52 is in use. The only sucky thing is that I forgot to back up my noon app and lost a few days of food, exercise and weight. Oh well.
The weirdest thing and the reason I did the reset is that when I opened the card via USB, it displayed only 200+MB of files, but told me it was full when I tried to copy anything. So weird.
When you hook it up to USB, only your personal portion of internal storage is visible to you. The system and data take up internal storage as well, but that's visible to you via USB when using Windows Explorer or any PC file explorer. Doing a factory reset cleared all of the data on the phone, including system data. That's why you have all your space now. If you use Titanium Backup to restore things, then you are most likely going to run into the same issue. If you are done restoring everything you need with Titanium Backup, then follow the link I just posted before it causes insufficient storage.

Is my hard drive dying?

So I recently updated my shield pro to the latest release and afterwards I loaded the internal drive with a lot of content. I would say the drive went from being 30% full to 80% after I was done (mostly movies and TV shows).
Later that night the unit did a hard reboot and upon loading back up the main menu took a while to propagate the app icons and whatnot. However once it was done the experience seemed fine....until it rebooted again.... and randomly after that some more.
Right now I have it doing a "full" reset (says it could take 2 hours). We'll see what happens after that. I am not looking forward to reinstalling and copying everything back again.

Problems with Adopted Storage (a.k.a Flex Storage)

Hello all,
I have a Moto Z Force Droid (XT1650-02). It's running on Android version 8.0.0, and build number OCLS27.76-69-6. It was acquired from Verizon. It is not rooted (sadly), and the bootloader is locked. It has 32GB of internal storage, however, I added an SDCard(64GB) to increase that storage space.
I'm having some problem(s) with my SDCard, or more so its usage as adopted storage. I've had the phone with the storage for quite a while and everything has been fine. However, 3-4 days ago was when the issues started. One night, my phone was acting really laggy. Which I just chalked up to tech being tech. I let it sit for a bit, tried rebooting it, etc. Well, as time progresses it seems to me that Facebook Messenger is what's slowing it down. So, I try uninstalling it. Of course, this isn't working and android just keeps giving me a helpful little notification that the app is uninstalling (for much longer than it *should* take). I figured I'd reboot into safe mode and try uninstalling it from there. The phone powers off and reboots fine. However, when I tried to unlock the screen, the entire phone froze and crashed after a minute or two. Once it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootloader (or, more specifically, where it says "DROID" and there are little shiny spots moving around the letters). So I used the power button to force the device off and try rebooting again. Again, boots up fine but it freezes at unlock and the cycle starts again.
Around 2 days ago I took it to a Verizon store. Originally I was just told I was going to have to factory reset (which I didn't want to because all the pictures I have and such would be lost. Apps are backed up by Google though). They told me to take out the SDCard, to help save what I could. Then, I got the bright idea to try booting without the card. This time the phone booted fine and unlocked like it should (the only problem now is that I had no internal storage and all the apps that were on the SDCard aren't loading since no SDCard).
When I leave the phone on and install the SDCard, I can browse the internal storage again. However, I can't see any of the files when I try transferring them to PC over USB. As well, after a while of using the phone, or even letting it idle, it will eventually crash and go back to the above botting and not-unlocking scenarios.
Based on how/when the problem started, and the logcats I've grabbed as the phone was crashing, I have reason to believe it has something to do with Facebook Messenger not being removed correctly. [Logcats in the comment below.]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, please tell me if there's anything that needs clarification. (Sorry for the wall of text. I just don't know what else to do at the moment.)
