[Q]: S5 ~ games obb file missing? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys..
just want to know what seems to be the problem with my phone.
i've installed GTA: SA this afternoon and played for about an hour.
and now when i wanted to play again it says that the downloading of the data/obb file of the game had failed, then i checked the obb folder on on my device the obb file is gone, so i decided to uninstall the game. when i checked on my storage it says that i have 5.27gb available space when it suppose to be 7gb+ because i uninstalled the game.
Where is the 2gb+ memory? how can i retrieve it without the option of doing a factory reset. Please help. Thank you
P.S. ~ i'm on Android Lollipop 5.0 flashed firmware from poland

Factory reset don't touch in the sdcard. Try a treesize or similar app on you card

App installing problem

Hey there
So I'm using a samsung galaxy s4, 4.3 Android and I've tried to install Real Boxing on it. I installed the apk file but when it comes to copying the obb file it shows the problem. It won't copy it to device storage so I copied it to sd and then from sd card copied it to device storage. Application starts (only logo or however it's called thing shows up) and then it says it stopped working. The same thing happened with Fifa 14. So, anyone knows how to solve this problem? I basically tried everything I know.
Thanks
*It tells me that there's no connection firstly or there are no files. I connect my phone to wi fi and then the same thing, it stops the app saying that it stopped working.

Problem with FolderMount

I have had a problem with the app FolderMount. I explain you what I've done.
First of all, I've downloaded the game "The Walking Dead Season One" with its
1,1GB of data game. I've tried to move this file in external SD card with FolderMount and all is
gone good. After I have rebooted my device (Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505) and I
have opened the game, but it has started the download of data game. So I've
gone to control if FolderMount have mounted the folder and I have tapped the
green icon and it has became gray, then I've tapped again ad it has became
green. I've gone to control the game and it started. Then I tapped again the
icon and I have deleted the lonk folder in FolderMount and I have unistalled
the game. Now the ext sd card doesn't work more. I can do nothing, I can't
deleted any folder or file in its, and I also can't format it! Please, could
you explain me what I can do to solve this problem?
Sorry for my bad english but I'm Italian

[Q] Games wont work after restarting S5?

Hi, new to the forum here. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 (Exynos variant), and have been facing issues while trying to get games to run. I tried putting the data files of various games in Android/obb (the obb folder isnt there by default, i had to create it) and then installing the apk and running the games, they work fine until this point. But when i restart the phone the games dont work, i checked the obb folder and its empty but it still takes up space. i couldnt delete the game files from obb since they werent showing up in obb but were still taking space. i had to factory reset the phone.
So any ideas what might be causing this?
PS Im running an unrooted phone at 4.4.2

Large games on sd card

Hello,
I was searching for a way to put large games like (asphalt 8, nova3, and any other games) on sd card on my rooted samsung galaxy s4 because the internal storage is very low and about to be full.
First i tried to use the file manager i have sent the odd file and the apk(which in the data folder) but the game didn't work, it was searching for required files and asked to download them.
Then i tried many apps which need root acces on my device to send the games on sd card but i got the same problem...
Is there are any way to send the game on sd card and make it work there?
Thanks.
try app2sd...it is on play store ?
I have already tried it but it send the apk file only i want app or any way to send the apk and the odd to the sd card and make it work there.
This depends on what rom you're using.
You could try Folder Mount
Actually all these apps aren't useful i can already use any file manager to send the game files to the sd card but the problem is when i add the game to sd card when i open the game it dont find the game's files.
And about which rom am i using i didn't get it and how to know my rom?
I use the xposed module Obb2SD, so all my games are moved to SD card then the Obb files are also moved onto the SD card.
I am using a custom Rom.

If you are using the stock samsung rom then you just have to go to Manage apps and find the game you want to move and the press "Move to sd card".
Moving the apps manually will not work.
Folder Mount will move the app data to the sd card and trick the system into thinking it's on the internal storage.
I have just used folder mount by sending the game files (the folder in the data and its folder in the odd) but the game won't find their files
Did you get the phone new? Did you flash any custom rom on it or is it the stock samsung firmware that comes with the phone?
The only thing i have done with my phoned is rooting it with a custom recovery, there is no any custom roms im just using just the stock rom.
Then the rom should have the option to move apps to sd.
I know that my stock 4.4.2 samsung firmware had that option.
Go to settings > apps > downloaded, and tap any app you want to move. There should be an option "move to sd card" or something like that.

Internal storage and external not being detected!!

Hi Guys ,I really need your help!! My samsung Galaxy J5 is not detecting any memory ie Internal and the sd card. It downloads apps through play store but not through browsers. Images and screenshots also do not save and images sent through whatsapp and snapchat do not download. When I go to the file explorer, its says the device storage is empty similar to the sd card. The pc also says they are empty but it shows the amount of memory consumed. I have tried flashing stock firmware via odin but the problem is persisting, factory reset and cache wiping also do not seeem to help..Please ASSIST!!!!!
Did you by any chance installed a different recovery then the stock one?
