Just a quick one guys. Tried to look online for a fix to this just now but can't see anything.
Basically I use the built in screen recording function often to make tutorials but I'm completely stumped as to why it's stopped working.
Whenever I use it (manually or automatic recording options) it tells me that theirs not enough space to record.
I have a 16gb model. With roughly somewhere between 11-11.5gb of space left.
Things I've tried to do to fix this are
Cleaning my trash via Es file explorer & clean master. This freed up a few mbs
Changing the recording settings from ultra to high. Then to medium. Then to low. All give the same error still.
Restarting the box.
Nothing has done the trick and I'm all outta ideas what could be the problem?
Nothing has changed with my shield and I've not had any other issues. It's Unrooted.
TIA for any suggestions of help.

I flashed to the new HTC WM6 Europe Pre-release ROM today... all went very well until I tried to use the camera.
I got "Unable to start camera. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
I have plenty of space in storage. The camera just refuses to work.
Searching the forums, I cannot find anyone who has gotten this error message (the first part, but not the last).
Is this a bug in the new ROM?
Anyone have an idea as to what this could be?
This is in the manual that came with your phone. Perform a soft reset and you should be ready to go with the camera.
You'll also find an icon on the phone display. It will either look like a memory chip or a memory card. Once you get into the application, ensure that you are setting it to use the memory card as storage.
Thanks... but I have already done that.
As I stated previously, this is not likely a storage issue. I just flashed to this ROM. I have almost a gig on the microsd, 30 mb + in free storage, and almost 30 mb program memory available.
One interesting side note... Cool Camera works fine.
I am thinking that there is an issue in this new ROM.
same problem here, i think i'm going to try with some other rom versions, cause this one is like "factory default", but runs very quick.
I've received this message a few times. I have VJLumosIII installed on my hermes (this app uses some part of the camera functionality to make the screen brighter) and I used to use it all the time. If I forgot to turn it off when I went to use the camera, sometimes I would get this error message.
The weird thing is that it was only sometimes; perhaps 1 out of 3 times. The other times the camera would just work.
I quit using VJLumosIII, though, because it drained the battery too quickly, and haven't seen that error message once since.
Probably unrelated, but thought I'd throw it out there.
had the same problem do a hard reset fixed it for me
My Touch became progressively slow to the point where it hardley runs and storage mem is down to .04MB for some reason. Without installing anyting or making any huge changes to the phone what sort of things can cause it to suddenly become slow? I'm hoping there is a quick fix so I don't have to perform a hardboot. I noticed that the mxip_notify file is about 4.5MB but maybe this is normal. Here is what I am also noticing:
- mxip_notify file 4.5MB
- clock on HTC home screen doesn't change
- softboot does not improve performance
- low memory warning message constantly pops up informing me that I need
to free some memory.
This is the original ROM.
Thanks in advance.
In my experience is that you need to do a hard reset, I know its a hastle, but it helps speed it up loads.
my touch used to run out of memory as well, then i connected it to my pc, and browsed to computer\htc touch\application data\info feed\cache and cleared all the data that was there, it freed about 6 MB, also cleared the feeds folder, and freed another 2 MBs, the performance seems to have improved and i no longer get the out of memory error. i dont know if this is the culprit in ur case, but it worked for me, so u can give that a try . or try opening each and every folder in ur Touch through windows and see what files are taking lots of space. also i recently installed Home Screen ++ with which OCd my processor to 266MHz and in certain apps the performence boost is amazing. u can try that as well.
I was really hoping I would not have to hard reset my Touch since installing applications can be a pain and I have a lot of SMSs I would not like to loose. I have seen applications out there that back up SMSs and allow you to restore the SMSs back on the phone but I am not confident it will work.
And while hard resetting will solve the problem, it does not ultimately answer why my Touch suddenly ran out of space.
I'm wondering what the size of most user's mxip_notify file is.
Hi Folks:
Is anyone else having this problem?
New Info as of 16 July. Sound Still Skipping
Unfortunately, I'm still having sound file skips when the tablet is off.
I did some more Google research on this, and I found several instances with regard to phones having sound problems with skipping and popping sounds while playing. Nearly all of those seemed to be related to either headphone issues or the Bluetooth xceiver.
I originally though this problem was specific to Overdrive Media console, but it has also turned up in the Music app. I also installed a couple of other music/sound apps to see if it may be app specific, but all of them had the same consistent behavior of the sound file...pausing at random intervals....and then continuing after a few seconds when the screen...was turned off. The skips DO NOT happen when the screen is on.
Going through Erica Rene's thoughts I went into the Running Applications Manager and turned off several services I wasn't using, including Neo Player, 3d Gallery, Skype, and even Music. I initially thought that worked, but I was wrong. Same behavior.
This morning I did a factory reset. No change in behavior.
Since I just started using the tablet for audio books and podcasts I honestly don't know if this problem was there in 3.0. When I did the factory reset I thought the tablet might go back to 3.0, but I was wrong. I am still on build Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 after the factory reset.
There seems to be nothing wrong with my hardware that I can see. These skips happen with the headphones in or out. The only thing that triggers it is turning off the screen.
Insofar as software is concerned, I've not done anything more except rooting the tablet (which survived the factory reset process, which did surprise me! ). Beyond putting in another ROM - which, unless I can get some specific thoughts that it will fix the problem, given my experience level I'm a bit leery of doing - I can't see how software would fix it now.
Is anyone else seeing this???
Thanks!!!!
=============================
I've searched Google and here on XDA for this and not found anything, so I'm hoping that someone can say something.
When I play a sound file on my A500, and then turn it off, the sound continuing to play is a very iffy thing. This works on my Nexus One phone, so I assumed it would work here. On my phone I start a sound file running (music, podcast, audio from an audio book or Google reader) and then I turn the phone "off" to conserve the battery, of course. The sound continues to play.
When I do the same thing on the A500 it is very rare that the sound continues to play. Sometimes it will stop as soon as I turn the tablet off, sometimes it will continue for several seconds and then stop, sometimes it will continue for several seconds and then pause for a couple of seconds and continue in this loop for the life of the file.
I originally thought that this was a specific issue with the audio books in the Overdrive Media Console program, but I've now encountered it with Google Reader and playing things through either Music or Rockplayer Lite.
Has anyone seen this yourself, or does anyone have any thoughts? Details on the tablet are below:
OS: AndroidOS 3.1
Build: Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2
Rooted
Could be some of the apps not playing fair.
Do you have a task killer or any add on management app.they can cause this
Also in settings sounds.there is a check button to control this.
Also do not hit the back button on the apt this will kill it
I had Google music going off when I would hot the power buttonbtobturn off display and it was ina task killer ibaccidently installed something I had on USB drive for my cell.it had a setting to close all apps on display off or sleep.
Erica:
Thank you for your reply. Oddly enough, something along those lines may be it.
I've not modified my tablet much beyond rooting it. I've not uninstalled applications and don't have a custom ROM.
You mentioned that something might not be playing fair. I have no add on management application, nor any task killer I'm aware of. The Applications area of Settings has been doing what I need in that department fine for me. So I went in and looked at what services were running, and specifically turned off the services and programs I know I was not using: Skype, NemoPlayer, PhotoBrowser, Acer Sync. I then tried a sound file, turned off the tablet and it did continue to play steadily.
Now I guess I just have to figure out which program is the culprit, but it seems evident that one of them is.
Along those lines, perhaps you can answer something else for me: Those programs I mentioned above basically started running services on bootup. How do I stop that? I don't use NemoPlayer, for example, and so have no reason to have any service from it starting. I took a look at the Settings->Applications area and don't seem to see anything there that indicates what gets started upon bootup.
Thanks!

I use titanium backup. It has a option to not only backup. But can freeze apps.Im not sure but you might need to have root for this feature.there are other apps on market to freeze them maybe someone can help by telling the app they use.just do not remove any apps Acer put on your tab.
You can get root easky look in Dev area
Put some new information in teh original post.
My sound also cuts out when tablet goes to lock mode. I thought it was certain apps. Removed everything as far as widgets anything running in backround on home screen but I still have the same issue its random. Tried a clean wipe/install basic apps root explorer and still had it happen. I thought it might be a audio codec problem. In Honeycomb 3.0 I was able to play AVIs with AC3 in mobo and nemo player now I cant in 3.1.

i have the probleme too with the sound when it goes to sleep when i stream webradio !
Just a thought, along similar lines when my screen is off sound will cut out after about 15 to 20 mins. I think for you as others have said you have something else that is causing the problem. For me I think it's just a system timer. Don't know how to fix it.
i have experienced a similar thing with some Roms I've tried and with them it was the built in overclocker that was the culprit. I had to change the profile in the overclocker to enable the playback while the screen was off. Same goes for overclocking apps such as setcpu.
I'm experiencing a skip with my email notification. I recorded a short notice (similar to you got mail) & it does a 5 second pause 1/2 way through. Didn't do it prior to 3.1
Hello beautiful people.
So, what happened was, I recorded a video, i did press pause a few times, to keep the video in one file. The location would be on micro sd card.
After some time (some time did run by), then I somehow hadn't noticed that the battery might be running flat. NExt thing is, the phone shuts off/down. I was hoping that it did save the footage. But alas, the only thing I can figure, is that there are 2 files in a 'thumbnail' folder, sized 600-800 MB, these seems to be interesting because of the timestamps. A thumbnail can hardly be of those sizes ?
I copied them to the PC and renamed them to .MP4, however, because of a missing 'header' or something they don't seem to be playable, I checked them with IrFanVew, SUPER, and other programs. They don't seem to recognize the files.
And year, its the i9505 model, rooted, with hm, omega rom (v19 on 4.3 jelly-cream-cookie-icing-on-the-cake or whatever)
before the next 20 replies tell me to use search function..i have searched in vain for vast amount of time, and nothing seems to help.
I hope I have explained the problem well. I assume, as the video recording can tell the used space (I figure 600-800mb is the size used, or like 5-7 minutes in fullHD), that the footage is saved somewhere.
Would there be any hope in using recovery programs ? I haven't have luck using those in the past, as they find all kinds of junk (including tons of thumbnails and logos etc), and I suppose, the actualy <temporary?> footage isn't classified as an .MP4 video file.
What do you think ? The problem lies not in, forgetting to save the footage, or pressing the back button. the footage/ the recording may very well have been on pause, while the phone shut off because of lack of battery power. THough I haven't checked the battery, as I replace batteries, when one battery is low. WIth a dock, i simply switch out the battery.
Thanks a bunch in advance to any good tips and help you can come up with. If anyone has a good understanding of how the standard camera app works as for saving footage in terms of temporary file locations, and/or how to handle said temporary footage files, I'd be grateful. Maybe I can check up on whether there's any temporary files that hopefully can be converted in to working video viles ?

At worst
1 - 2GB seems to be an upper limit on the RAM. When I clear apps from task list, it always says X of ~1.8GB. Anyone else have this issue?
2 - Experiencing random restarts, probably once every few days. Couple of times happened during a Skype conversation but probably chance. I thought it might be RAM related (above), but it doesn't always happen after long run-times.
3 - Using most audio apps I get a mini-stutter. The only workaround I've seen is PowerAmp increasing buffer size which eliminates it for that app. This does seem to be linked with RAM usage as clearing app list and force closing the audio app to restart will get rid of it. Anyone else?
I've tried clearing both cache through TWRP, hasn't helped. I had to clear data previously through TWRP and re-install an A2017 image which I then rooted. Possibly something got messed up, my only other thought is to restore to stock and to see if it continues.
Any other ideas, or does anyone have the same issues?
Thanks for the help.
Replace it

My A2017G was restarting randomly daily, would freeze even when changing font size... it was a dud!
After trying numerous factory resets and just using all stock apps (did not load any apps from Google Playstore) it still was problematic. I contacted ZTE through Facebook and built a written account of the problems and their reply.
Then I took my phone and print outs of ZTE's replies to the retailer and they replaced the phone. My replaced one works fine.
I have heard that if you have enabled Developer Options do not enable Force GPU or any hardware options as this may cause deeper issues.
So in short build a case around your phones faults and take it back for replacement. No phone in 2016/2017 should be this dodgy during normal use.
Cheers

Will be somewhat problematic as I took a gamble with an aliexpress order, but will try and see if they help. Thanks.
But I'm interested if besides restarts, other people have had the same issues, namely:
* Limited RAM availability (2 of 4GB)
* Occasional stutter on audio (posted this on reddit as well, got like 8 upvotes but no solutions, so I suspect it's not just me).
