[Q] storage space leaks and other bugs - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i noticed a few android 5.0 bugs on g900f (bob7 update):
1) storage space leaks, what happens is that when i uninstall a program/game, files are deleted, but space is still being showed as "in use", so after a day i got only 1,5gb free space of 16gb, with nothing installed, only factory reset helps.
2) google login(google account in account settings, play store) doesnt work via wifi, it gives communication with servers error, i have to use mobile data to login, and after that play store works via wifi good.
3) wifi connection is not stable - sometimes message pops "connected to mywifi", and then internet stops, but it didnt show that it was dc'ed before, have to reenable wifi for it to work again.

Anyone ? That storage leak bug is really annoying, i looked through all temp/cache/other files, there is no files, and when i uninstall anything, files dissappear, but space is not being freed, and after a few games there is no choise but to do factory reset...

Phone Storage full

I had a recent error with my Telus (unlocked) HTC Hero. It all of a sudden said my phone storage was full even though when I checked in the settings, it said I had tons of room.
Some apps stopped working, and my flash in my browser would stop working. It all happened within a day. It deleted my email account settings and my browser settings, history, etc.
I just hard reset my phone. Obviously fixed it but I'm just wondering if this is a known issue.
i get this message when i try to install "iperf" from market on villain5.2 with apps2sd+dc. all other apps install fine, i haven't got around to look into it (and probably won't...)

[Q] Strange app update problem

I had a quick look through this area and didn't see anything about it so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I was running stock 4.2.1 unlocked and rooted on my Nexus 7 and everything had been fine but in the last couple of days 3 apps haven't been able to update properly.
The Play app tried to update Nexus Media Importer, BBC iPlayer and Facebook but every time it tried it left a message for each saying:
"Update for <app name> could not be downloaded due to an error (Error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"
Everything else seems to work OK and my Nexus has just updated to 4.2.2 but the error persists.
I tried uninstalling Nexus Media Importer but get a similar error when trying to reinstall it.
I looked in 'Storage' and found that somehow it was using .98GB of my RAM so I uninstalled some stuff and got it down to 748MB (still a lot?) but still I cannot install Nexus Media Importer or update BBC iPlayer and Facebook - same error.
Any ideas? I can browse and do everything else so my Internet connection is fine and my 'phone updated BBC iPlayer and Facebook without any problems so it's definitely local to the Nexus.
Also what does 'Apps (app data and media content)' refer to other than the obvious? It shows pictures, videos, downloads, etc. separately and I don't have that many apps installed so I'm bothered as to why it's using so much RAM. (All cache is cleared, BTW)
Searching here I found something about stopping Google Services Framework and clearing data followed by a restart but that didn't do it, also I have a second Google Play account so I switched to that but it was the same.
In case anyone goes looking for the same problem in future, the cure was to delete the main email account that the Play store uses (Settings / Accounts / Google), then recreate it and all will be well. It will delete emails, calendar entries, etc. but they'll be reloaded when you log back in so nothing will be lost.

Mobile network restriction?!

Hi,
I own a Huawei P8 that runs on B370.
From time to time I get this pop-up message when opening an app that asks me if I want to remove the data restriction. Offcourse I choose to remove the restriction. But that doesn't seem to help. I've added some screenshots (in dutch).
Things i've noticed while on data connection:
Google apps don't work
Synchronization problems in google-account
Gmail (+others) asks to sign in, but when pressing the button it doesn't
No location services
Tethering/hotspot doesn't work probably due to no access
Some apps (snapchat, etc.) don't load or pushes notifications
While other apps run smoothly on my data network...
On wifi no problems!!
I don't want to do a full reset of my phone, so I hope somebody knows how to fix this!
Thanks!
Try updating to B380. There are some changes to data management ui. Before that you can clear the data of System manager app.

[GT-S6102B] DownloadManager consuming my 3g background

Hi all,
I'm using my old S6102 while my cell phone doesn't return the warranty. I have seen that my daily 3g data packet (50MB) has finished very fast, and only use whatsapp. Some background process is consuming my 3g. I installed the program Mobile Counter to monitor my network.
The process appears as Download Manager and too android.process.media, consuming 45MB, sometimes download, sometimes upload. But I have no way of knowing, what is being transferred.
Do you know of any method how to find it?
May be the google play service app trying to silently be installed by the google play store, but after I installed whatsapp, I did not see the installation attempt, when it installed, it appeared that the system was low memory.
I set Google Play Store for isn't to update automatically, and installed root to uninstall some programs useless and after unroot.
My rom is the stock, already did wipe data, after and their updates, all ok. After did download the apk from samsung site for updated the google play store, but the problem continues.
I set in:
General sync settings
Background data - marked
Auto sync - marked
Backup and restore
Back up my data - unmarked
Automatic restore - unmarked
Does anyone know what is consuming my 3g internet?
Thanks! Help me!

How/where do u change your phone's identity from apps?

I did a factory reset yet a certain app still recognizes me, so can't be the device ID it sees. My other guess is the IMEI that's saved in the phone, even though it has no sim card anymore, but I don't know how/where to change that. Any other IDs that apps can use to recognize a phone? I'm running Oreo 8.1.

Its happens via Google sync.
Many of us consider setting restoration to be a good thing. But, If you do not not want sync, do a full clean wipe, including format storage ( Note: When formatting storage you must immediately reboot to Recovery and click boxes if present to permanently install Twrp)
After install, you could choose to not backup from cloud and then afterwards, then go to accounts and uncheck whatever, you do not want syncing.
Another option is to flash your Rom and choose to not flash Gapps at all.
You can install apps anonymously using Yalp store via XDA labs.
You can also use Micro G : Here is a page that has links to Micro G and various other excellent apps.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/themes/list-favorite-applications-oneplus-5t-t3739134
Actually, not saying that ur wrong because I'm sure it happens, but I found out that it was Facebook. Not really sure how embedded that can get into your phone. Before the factory reset, I had 2 Google accounts on the phone, my main one and an old backup on. I only put my main account on that phone for 1 game so I could play on either phone. But it was never my Google account it uses to save on their cloud, it's Facebook; for logging in you get bonus coin gifts from your friends, but I guess it uses that for game syncing. Because after the reset, I only added my backup Google account to that phone, yet after downloading the game again, it immediately started me off on my game that is normally on this phone, even though I wasn't logged in Facebook yet and it told me to login to get coin gifts. So I logged in with my Facebook that I never use that has the same email as my bbackup Google account, and that's when it restarted a new game for me.
