[Q] Internal memory read only problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Lately i reseted my rooted N9005
after that i had problem writing to my SD card so i fixed that with a software
then i noticed whatsapp can't download pictures or voice to my internal storage
so i tried everything i can to manually change it but i couldn't
before i reseted my phone i have low memory message so i am thinking maybe the phone changed it to read only
anyone fixed this problem yet? i saw many people complaining but no one answered with a solution
thanks a lot in advance

Lost Program Files

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar incident with their Wizard -
I've got a MDA Vario, i haven't upgraded the ROM or over clocked it at all, i've just installed a few games and a few applications most recently (Agile).
But over the last couple of days the phone has started reseting itself and today i seem to have loast a load of applications i had installed onto the phone.
Having checkeed the phones storage card, it would seem that the "Program Files" directory on the card has dissapeared!
Does anyone know whats going on and how best to stop it?
Thanks for your help.
Can help you on a solution. but I kinda had the same experience. You may want to specify that the lost programs files are in SD only.
Anyway, previously, just after I've got my Charmer phone, I kinda install everything into it and it causes problems. Some programs causes problems and it hanged my phone and I have to soft reset it. I keep on trying and reseting my phone
and later, I've noticed that files in my SD files are lost. I experience twice, once I lost everything in the SD and later I only lost the Program Files dir of the SD.
So, what I think is.. before you soft reset, remove your SD card. That's what I can do.
Problem may be being caused by Agile Messenger
Sounds like a solution.
But i figured something i had installed recently had started causing the phone to reset, since having this problem i have uninstalled Agile and the phone seems to have stopped reseting randomly.
Therefore, is there a program similar to Agile out there that doesn't screw up your phone? If so, what?
i had a similar problem before. What happened with me is several folders disappeared, whether i tried to view them on the devices explorer/resco explorer or even in a memory card reader, but the memory for those files missing was still being used. So i had to use a recovery program called GetDataBack and plugged the card into a memory card reader and it scanned it and recovered everything.
heres my original post on what happened with me.
hope it helps

Thanks for that, i'll try and get this recovery software and hope i haven't lost too much!
Did you ever find out why you lost the files?

Hey guys .. i had this awful problem on my b7610. My storage card got wiped out .. dunno y .. just out of the blues .. everything got deleted ..all i could see was few unreadable large files that were abt 700 mb & 120mb... with some weird names ( actually symbols)
This has happened to me once .. but this sucker deleted all 16 gb of storage
i saw this thread too http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-...in-memory-card/
but this thread doesnt gave any definate solution ..
IS THERE SOME PATCH OR SOMETHING .. i m using original windows mobile 6.1 rom
P.S this is my thread regarding this problem on modaco have a look:- http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610-omnia-pro-b7610-modaco-com/303060/major-major-problem/
i have had storage card issues with an omnia and an omnia i920. what i did was take the storage card to a card reader and when it wasnt readable by the phone - it was readable by the card reader and pc. i have no idea why. so i transferred all info to computer - formatted storage card and put info back. this has happened to me more than once. in all cases the storage card was fine after the reformat. i have no idea if this will work for you but its worth a try.
thanx for the reply bro .. i have formatted it from pc . now its working fine .but my question is that Y DID IT HAPPENED ???
I LOST EVERYTHING
RE
On page 19 of the USER Manual it says that formatting the memory card on a PC may cause incompatibility with your device. It says to format the memory card only on the device.
I hope this helps
i have no idea why it happens. it happened often on omnia and i have had it twice on omnia 2. bought new 16gig card - class 6 - happened once - reformatted, etc and its been fine for four months. hi tech life is challenging.
I got this problem too! feel so tired working with it.
finally, i use a recovery tool to bring something back to the phone. Then install what i want to again and only hope that they will not disappear again.
if anyone ever know how to deal with this problem , pls help
hey guys. we ought to find a solution for this problem .. its killing me
i guess there is no solution to this problem
actually, it happens again
OMG i'm so distressed.
hard reset
happened again! took a photo and then the files just disappeared.
googled it - can't find the solution.
wish someone could help

Big Problem: Infinite Reboot when Apps installed in SD Card, need your support guys

It seems Galaxy Note also has this problem.
jager13 has posted this issue in code.google.com, so please anyone with this issue comment there so that google devs can know about it and fix it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563
==========================
please make comment on this google page asking for a fix.....let this issue make to know for google and samsung...."TILL NOW ONLY 27 COMMENTS ON GOOGLE PAGE"
I believe that many of us (if not all) should have this problem.
I got so many apps installed, so many of them are installed in SD Card automatically by Android or I manually moved them to SD Card.
(In total I have ~650 app elements in Titanium Backup and keep growing depending on what I have installed or haven't restored at any given point)
The problem is since I updated from 2.3.4 to version >= 2.3.5 even to ICS 4.0.3 LP2, LP6, LPB, LPH.
Problem:
- Power On then phone will reboot after some 2-5 minutes idle and again reboot infinitely so I cannot use my phone at all.
- If I removed my external SD Card, no more reboot.
- Or if I delete some amount of .asec files in ".android_secure" folder (where the app in sd card is saved) in the external SD Card no more reboot.
- And yes, I have done many (if not all) imaginable things: re-flash, factory reset, wipe cache, fix permission, change SD Card, reinstall from market...
- And no, this is not specific SD Card problem.
There is older thread talking about this problem but the thread is about general reboot problem so it got mixed with other kind of reboot.
After trying ICS leaks in a hope that the problem is fixed I find that it is still NOT fixed
and maybe won't be fixed if not enough people complain about this problem.
And I think Samsung developers and QA don't know this issue.
It will be shame if SGS3 still has this problem. I absolutely won't buy it.
So to check this, I hope the reader of this thread to try this (Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4 only):
- Please move as many apps as you can or all of your apps to SD Card..
- Or please install as many apps as you can from market and moved them to SD Card if not already.
- The apps number is not exact (60 maybe more), more is better, maybe related with apps size too.
(I found that when my ".android_secure" folder size in external sd card approaching ~1.5GB maybe more, the reboot problem occurs)
- And then tell here that you have infinite reboot or not in idle mode 2-5 minutes after power on. Please try 2-3 times.
- Also post your ROM/kernel version, stock or mods.
- And please check that removing the external SD Card solve the reboot problem.
Remember that u have to be at least Samsung based ROM version 2.3.5 because this problem is side effect (2.3.4 and earlier does not have this problem).
For us who has this problem, please add your post to this thread to keep it alive
and don't forget to rate high so it will get attention from other users and hopefully from Samsung.
Let's make this issue known to Samsung.
And I hope that people who got firmware leaks from Samsung can tell them about this problem/thread.

[Q] Phone Storage not mounted? SD Card not reading?

Hi i would like to ask to fellow seniors and developers of xda,
Why does my phone says phone storage is not mounted? I tried everything from factory data reset to the PHV ( Power + Home + Volume Up ) buttons. And it seems nothing is working. I have been looking for answers for days. And i dont think anyone has this problem than me. Im the only one with the problem. SD Card is not reading as well. I tried my SD Card on my wife's SM-N900 ( same as mine ) and it work well. Nothing happened. Is there any solution to this? Please help me solve this issue. Thank you for your time. /;

It might be a hardware problem specific to your phone - a bad contact or something similar. Test with 2-3 different micro-SD cards that all are (recently) tested and working fine in other phones.

Does the card work (is it seen) in another phone? If yest try to format it on the pc and see if it is recognised then in the N3, if not the card may be damaged.

Yes it worked well on other phone's via alcatel. So it means that there's something wrong with my hardware right ? How do i change the firmware? Maybe something went wrong with its firmware? It has never fell before since its brand new..

Hi suddenly the SD card starts functioning and today it goes on and off means, sometimes it reads by itself and other time it gives blank sd card.
My note 3 is not rooted and Samsung guys informed that warranty ceases with rooting.
Can I have other workaround without rooting.
Thanks a lot for the support.
