SD issues and app crashes - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been on 5.0 for about a week now. It was great until today. Numerous app crashes. Can't write to sd. Phone says I don't have enough storage to save an image when I'm face I do. Has anyone else had this issue? If so please help. I can't even reliably use my phone.

can you try to factory reset? i have problem too and i wipe all then do flash with fresh rom, and the problem gone

Apps Thinking I have an SD Card & not working

Hi, I recently was on paranoid android and was getting ready to sell my galaxy s4 I9505 so restored a back up I made of the stock rom which was what came on the phone when I bought it.
I restored the back up, but once the phone had booted it was really slow and I kept getting loads of error messages saying different processes had kept failing. The same as in this thread.

I then booted back into recovery and wiped data and dalvik cache, which after rebooting sorted the problem. The device was running smoothly and so I went on downloading my apps from the play store.
But I've since noticed apps like swift key, instagram, whatsapp and snap chat seem to be having issues. I don't have any SD card installed just the phones internal memory, which I have ample space (9GB) but whatsapp won't let me download images.
Snapchat says I need to install an sd before viewing video and Instgram mentions I need an SD before being able to take a picture.
Also the language pack for Swiftkey won't download and when I try and download a theme it says it can't save it.
So it seems there's something wrong with the way it's trying to store certain files. Has anyone else come across this yet?
I'm planning on following the whole unroot process anyway documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 which I'm hoping will fix it.
But I wondered if anyone knew what it is that's caused it?

Did you install the stock rom before or have you just restored your old backup?
If I were you, I would clean everything, install the stock sammy firmware (with latest base) and after that restore your backup

No it's not a rom, I just restored my old back up of my OS before I started flashing any custom roms.
I did a factory reset on the phone hoping it might resolve it. Which hasn't, but I'm not sure now if it's got rid of CWM. Would as I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery (it maybe just me not releasing the volume up button at the right time).
Think I'm going to have to flash a clean stock firmware following the unroot process and hope that fixes it.

[Q] Did a factory reset ACCIDENTLY!

Hello there
I friend of mine made a really big mistake. I told him to update to the latest kernel version and clear cache and dalvik-cache after that. What he did, he made a factory reset, without a backup befor...
I don't know what I should do now. I told him to don't touch his phone, that we can maybe restore something, but this will be very dfficult...
So guys, can someone tell me, how I can solve that problem now? I really want to help him, because he's in trouble because of ME! :crying:
If anyone knows something, please tell me..
Connect the S4 to the PC, then install and run Recuva. Point Recuva to the internal storage and let try to recover files. Do the same thing to the MicroSD if it was wiped.
He will still have to reinstall his apps, and you aren't at fault for him not following instructions.

Happen to grab any screen shots of the error? Never heard of, nor seen this one. I only use internal, I have a 64gb sd-card laying around, I just don't need the space. Sorry to hear of this error, hopefully can figure out what it is.
i was also getting a titanium backup error FC also when this was happening, so i uninstalled TB and have rebooted a few times and no more white box internal problem error. It kept my apps installed and some settings but lost some minor settings. Strange that TB could of caused that. I really didnt want to have to factory reset.I know i should of taken a screenshot. I was panicking...lol.

Getting error messages that I don't have an SD card??

Hey guys,
So I just got my OP5 today... the first thing I did after taking it out of the box was unlock the bootloader (obviously). I then installed TWRP so I could backup my stock image. Since then I've been fighting with my phone all day because my apps say I don't have an SD card. 1) I can't download apps, 2) I can't take pictures 3) I can't create a folder on my internal storage with the file manager.
I have tried wiping system and wiping data. ( I'm currently on FreedomOS rom since I wanted to try wiping everything ) The weird thing is I was able to download ES file browser, Root Checker, and Titanium backup before the SD card stopped working. Is there any way I can try to fix this??? Kinda worried I received a defective unit.
you need to wipe data then reboot you will find the problem is fixed

Unfortunately I tried this a few times to no avail. Fortunately for anyone else with this problem I think it's fixed. After wiping I ran Fix Permissions in TWRP... that seems to have done the trick. I'm up and running now, no bugs. Thanks for the input!

sounds to me you somehow erased your data partition and didnt wiped/format it.
you are not the first one with that problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72807646&postcount=8
maybe a twrp or bootloader unlock problem ?

Apps crashes and random restarts

Hy everyone
After a lot of searches and flashing I have to open this thread.
No matter which oreo or nougat rom I tried I got constant app crashes and random reboots.
I have tried all oreo roms, nougat Roms and eui roms too.
Sometimes app crashes after one day or instantly after flashing.
I have tried different modems.
Tried without xposed and magisk but still apps start crashes on each rom.
I have clean flashed everytime too. But don't know why this is happening on all roms.
any one can help me out?
Thankyou
Heyyo, have you also tried doing a TWRP format data (by format data I mean format and not wipe) and then not restoring from a Google Cloud backup? There is a small chance that it could be a setting or something from your Google Cloud backup causing the instability.
Bit better
Hey, Thanks a lot for reply and I am sorry that I just read your response right now
First of all I didn't use Google cloud backup
I only restored from Tb.
I have already formatted data as you said and flashed new rom. Didn't even restore data from Tb.
As soon as I installed three to four apps from playstore phone restarted.
After installing all apps and setting up my phone.
Now app crashes are lot less then before but they still crashes like just Google stopped working until I restart phone.
Different app crashes after sometime and I have to restart phone to get them back to Work. Phone also restart sometimes.
Don't know why it's like that...
Is there any way I can check which app causing problems by myself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you
