Galaxy S5 5.0- Updates Do Not Stick After Rebooting - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Storage Issues
I'm running [VZW_Stock Based TW Rom][5.0 Lollipop BOG5 Build Deodexed] by jkruse and after updating apps in the Play store and then rebooting, the updates are not holding. Also, I moved several apps to the external SD card and after reboot, they are all back on internal storage. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Had this same problem with the apps reverting to old versions and optimizing on every reboot. Followed the directions in this thread and now it's all good.

Basically, you remove duplicates from the data/app directory and change the permissions on that folder so system is the owner.
I don't know if this will fix your apps-to-sdcard issue.

This issue happened to me when I used the Clean Master app, so if you use that uninstall it and, sadly, you will have to reset your phone. However, try out Bort's guide first and see if that works.

[Q] insufficient storage available CM11

hello,
I am having this problem since a week now on my Galaxy S4 I9505 with CM11 rom. When I try to install a new app from the playstore or when I try to update an app, I get this insufficient storage available error. but when I go and look how much space there is available. I see there is more then 5GB+ available in the internal storage. I read a lot about it in several topics and forums and I tried all solutions and nothing worked. I tried emptying my cache, updated the rom to the latest nightly build, emptying dalvik-cache. can somebody help with this problem. its driving me crazy
any help would be appreciated

Hi mate
Is a playstore error
1 Delete the app that is giving you problems at /data/app-lib
2 If the problem continues delete the app at /data/data
3 If problem continues delete also the app at /data/app
You may lose the settings of the app , backup app before you do anything
hello,
thank you for your very fast reply. but the problem does not only persist on apps that need updates but also on new apps I never installed before. so the app doenst have any folder in one of the locations you mentioned. and let me give you another example. I downloaded xbmc apk manually en tried to install it manually and it gave me a similar error like in the play store.

Hi
But what about the ones that need update , did you delete the folders of those to see if it helps?
Also clear data and cache from google play framework
Do you use ROM Manager to create Nandroid backups? Or ClockworkMod Recovery in general?
If so you may very well have your nandroid backup tacking up all that space.
ROM Manager defaults to save your backups in the internal storage and then hides the files so they can't be accidentally deleted.
This results in the file manager showing available space that really isn't available.
Delete the old nandroids or move them to the external SD card to make room.

ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER (ASUS_Z00LD) randomly restarts!!!

My ASUS ZENFONE 2 LASER randomly restarts after any application updates on google play store. When I try to update facebook, my phone completely downloads the update and while installing the phone will restart automatically. Once the phone is rebooted (takes 3-4 minutes to start again) and I go to play store and I see that facebook app isn't updated yet. I try to install it again and I end up with reboot again. I'm stuck in a loop. I tried to clear cache; however, that didn't help. I don't want a data factory reset at the moment. Is there any helpful solution/suggestions? Thanking you for anticipation.
Just a thought. Have you tried clearing the cache and data and then uninstalling the Facebook app? After uninstalling go to Google Play Store and download and install the full app.
I have facing the same problem. I have done all the things which you suggests but the app isn't be reinstalled. The problem continues with the candy crush saga also. Please help me how to update the same and also help me why this happens.
I Got Updated While In safe mode boot you can try it hence i think there will be memory issues in the background both the apps was not updated so i uninstalled them and downloaded them again
Hope it would be helpful
From what I have found the problem is about the sdcard. Before updating you need to uninstall the app, shutdown the phone, remove the sdcard and then install the app so that the app is installed on internal memory only. After the app is installed you can replace the sdcard and move the app to the sdcard if you wish.
I have noticed people have this kind of problem when the preferred install method is set to external. I have mine set to internal and then just select them to move to the SD card. So far I have not had a problem with updates or crashes using this method.
Exactly. It appears the phone has to install on the internal memory (force it if necessary by removing the sdcard)
I'm experiencing random reboots for no apparent reason.

How to disable batt_health process in MotoG4 RR

Hi,
This is related to a previous thread where internal memory gets full, which was solved temporarily.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/rr5-8-4-athene-internal-memory-filled-t3678840
I am using
[ROM][OFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 [7.1.2_r29][XT16xx][athene] + Magisk + ElementalX on Moto G4 Plus with 128 GB SD card as adopted storage.
The internal memory was getting full within a week, and with the help of suggestions received, I located that /data/power_supply_logger had .csv log files which were 20GB+ in size. So I deleted them and solved the problem at the time.
Then it repeated in a week I had the same issue. the log files grow about 2 MB every minute. I removed write permissions to the folder and deleted the file.
I noticed that since I removed the permissions to write, the battery life really got longer and the phone also charges much quickly now. Some users pointed out that battery was charging slowly in RR - I faced that problem too and it looks like has gone away. I would like to make it a bit cleaner - a process making an attempt to write every minute and failing is got a good work around.
Using AppsSD I found that /system/bin/batt_health running as mot_pwric user is attempting to write every minute and now that the permission is removed the attempt is failing.
Is there a way I can disable this process - it is not listed in Apps or System apps.
Or if anyone knows how to disable logging by batt_health, that would be better.
Thanks
Sreekumar
Maybe some of your apps are logging there?! I have this folder too, but empty.
/system/bin/batt_health running as mot_pwric user is the process logging it. How to disable this process - or if it is spawned by an app, how to locate the parent app.

My suggestion: Just install the rom and gapps mini/pico or beans mini and see if it logs again. If not: install ONE of your 3rd party apps, see if it happens again. If not, install the next one and so on.
Maybe you have switched something on in Rom settings?

I too have this folder and is showing 1.01mb in size.
I cut out read acces to batt_health and it seems nothing has changed.
Also i search folders for battery stats and all are nrml to me.
All of them combined also im not getting more than 10+mbs.
Idk what u have been using or any particular reason for you
I'll suggest clean flash your rom. Use verified gapps and restore backup of apps only and not data. If and if only you need that data restore it.
Use device for 3 to 4 days and see if problem exist.
OK. I will try these suggestions and see if goes away.

[BUG] Google Play Store no installed app after clearing cache+data | apps cost again

Hi everyone,
it seems the Play Store has got the same problem as years ago. After a clearing of cache and data, I have and empty installed app list and if I try to download apps bought time ago, they cost again.
I talked about the problem and it seemed to be related with detaching script on roms or apps like iytbp. No solutions found over the internet works (delete and readd the account, clearing cache partition, etc).
The only way to restore it was to restore back a previous titanium backup, data only, from a clean installation or from an uncleared play store.
It happened to me on XXX 9.1 but it's not rom related, 'cause it happened again on a clean installed stock Oreo 8.0 rom after installing iytbp with detach.plz method. But today a guy tried on a full stock Oneplus 5 and it happened the same (no root, no unlocked bootloader).
Can you please try if you have the same problem? After a Play Store backup, of course. I already sent a google feedback about that and, if you have the same problem, a google operator suggested to feedback them about that. Thanks in advance for the attention.
P.S. I tried the same on my Wiko Fever (full stock and updated) and it seems to have no problem at all. It also happended on Nougat, but I have not tested a lot.
Same issue here. I've also used the iYTBP detach script, you say it is caused by this? Have you found a solution? I'd rather not have to do a whole factory reset seeing as I don't have TB.
EDIT:
Found the solution to the problem for me. Not sure if this will fix it for good but for now Play store will update and installed apps show up. This solution requires root access. This is what I did:
1. Make full backup in TWRP.
2. Go to "system/priv-app/phonesky", cut the phonesky.apk (apk file for the Play store) file out of the directory to for example your documents folder.
3. Do a full (regular) reboot.
4. Copy the same apk you just move away form it's directory back to it's place (system/priv-app/phonesky).
5. Do another full reboot.
6. Wait about 30 seconds and the Play store should back on your device and functioning normally.
EDIT 2:
Issue where apps don't recognise that the user has purchased it still persists. After uninstalling the app and reinstalling it this issue got fixed.

Recovering Stock Samsung Applications [ROOT]

Hi,
I recently rooted my Note 5, and was trying to update the following stock apps: Phone, Messages, Contacts. First, I uninstalled them all using SD Maid Pro, then downloaded the latest version of the apps (for Android 7 and +) from apkmirror. However, except for Phone, I encountered the conflicting package error. Furthermore, even after I rebooted (and tried replacing it from data/app to system/priv-app), Phone app could not be found. Currently, I have neither of the apps and cannot use my phone to call or send an SMS.
I have no intention to flash a stock ROM and lose everything I've built and set up so far.
Any help that regards to installing the latest version of the aforementioned apps is appreciated,
Thank you.
EDIT: Manually installed the apps by creating a folder with the same name as the .apk file in system/priv-app and giving the right permissions to the file (rw-r--r--) for each of the apps.
