I realized only today, that perhaps from December, many apps, but not all, do not save longer their data in the memory space assigned to them by Android in the internal SD.
For example, if I make a save with Titanium Backup, I get a msg type "insufficient disk space, broken up" or if I try a backup of efs and imei with EFSBackup, do not get any error, but in designated folders there is no file.
If within the folder where Wathsapp saves its crypt files, these are firm in December, although I have old messages with visible and usable images.
ColorNote instead saves its backup regularly.
The apps are endless, everyone has his own, and so I'm not here to make the list. I would just try to understand the reason for this serious anomaly.
Of course I have the root and apps are allowed.
Help please. . .

Hi
My cursor remains in the url box since I tweaked some fonts, scroll bar dimensions and other things.
the d-pad/jog wheel moves the entire page...but no in-page cursor/clicking of items.
Its been all stylus for a few days.
I am a bit ignorant on how to proceed.
I DO have all backed up on the device with spb.
Tell me what to do please!
Gratefully.
If you backed up all your data on the device with Spb Backup software prior to your experimenting, then you simply have to click on the executable file that was created when you did the backup and all will be restored.
please know that i'm totally new to windows/computers...... but exactly what is the 'executable file' created?
Aren't there certain files from previous backups associated with IE amd IE settings that I can selectively custom restore?
Again, thank you for help.

On default, the backup file is created under \My Documents -directory. Just click the filename and the backup restoration dialogue begins... basically just click Next/Yes
Your patience will be rewarded somehow sir(s)....
so..I went to my spb backup to a previous date when it worked.......
then in restore chose my documents (?)..and restored those files:.... no return to cursur function.
'my documents' on my storage card has no 'directory'.
I'll keep playing!
Thanks again
tim
I don't quite understand what you mean by "'my documents' on my storage card has no 'directory'.
My Documents -directory is located on Phones internal memory by default. When you insert a Storage Card, it has no directories nor files.
And after a quick thinking, I can only remember Camera application to use Storage Card\My Documents, wether you choose to save pictures there and after that the My Documents directory will be created.
You could copy the executable backup file to storage card, then do a hard reset and then restore files from the backup.
Oh and one thing, when you create a backup or restore, make sure, you are not connected to ActiveSync. I learned that lesson once
If my memory serves me right, Spb Backup makes backup only of Phones internal memory, so restoring a backup, won't put anything on the storage card.
Does the google backup my data option in settings actually backup any game data downloaded to internal storage? and more importantly will it get restored once i have logged in to the new one expected tomorrow?
Also does anyone know if I have the original boxed and ready to go whether I can hand it over directly to the man from TNT?
Pretty sure Google backup doesn't keep save data. Just copy your /sdcard/android directory to your PC, that should contain all the save data, then just copy the relevant folders back to your new device after installing the game. Restoring might be different for each game, I found that copying the entire fifa12 directory just forced the game to re-download the game data - but copying over just the save folder restored the same state perfectly.
No it won't backup that kind of data. Just stuff like your wifi pairings. You need to get some backup software like Titanium Backup from the Play Store to keep game data properly.
Hey all,
Every time I try to run a batch backup job in TiBu, I receive the "Batch backup interrupted: Insufficient free storage" error message. I think I've run through all the drills to resolve (i.e. uninstall TiBu, delete /sdcard/data/... folder, delete /data/data/... folder, wipe dalvik and cache). If I do all of the above, I am able to run the batch backup.. once. Every time after that I receive the insufficient free storage message.
Also, TiBu is either unable to see the backed up files in its folder, or the files are corrupt. I verified that TiBu is pointed to the correct folder and can see all of the property files in it, but it won't let me restore anything from the folder.
It should be also known that I have over 11 GB free of storage.

Looks like the issue was pointing to /sdcard/0/ instead of /sdcard/legacy/

Was stumped on this for awhile, my backup location was pointing to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup and kept hitting this error. Changing it to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup fixed the problem. Thanks.
I got a low storage message on my S4. I deleted caches, I deleted the cache partition, I deleted several apps, I deleted all the media files I could, I moved whatever parts of apps I could to the external SD card. I regained enough space to make the message disappear. But lo and behold after some plain old web browing, I lost 250mb overnight, and since this afternoon, another 120mb. Why did the recovered space disappear? How do I get it back? I am so frustrated. The only two things I can think of are to do a factory reset and hope for the best or dump the S4 for something with more system and base storage.
Did you use Clockworkmod or Philz recovery at any point?
How many apps do you have on your device?
How many large games are on your device?
Here's why I asked about Clockworkmod. The last version would allocate space for nandroid backups and would not free it unless you told it to. It would do this because the nandroid backups were in fact incremental backups, and being able to delete one backup would screw up all subsequent backups made. TWRP thankfully doesn't do this, but nandroid backups are located on internal storage. Too many backups and your space goes *poof*.
Large apps and games will consume space as their data is stored in the internal storage, though I'm sure you know that. Thing is, a lot of small apps can have the same effect.
If you ran Clockworkmod at any point and didn't free up the space it reserved for nandroid backups, you'll have to reinstall it and free the space. Otherwise, check for excess numbers of nandroid backups. If there are too many backups and you're running Clockworkmod, delete them all, free up the space using Clockworkmod's commands for that, and switch to TWRP. If there are too many backups and you're running TWRP, delete all but the newest one. As for your apps, you really should go through them and uninstall the ones you haven't accessed in a while.
Browsers such as Chrome (and anything based on it I guess) tend to have large cache.
My Chromium based browser has a 240MB cache.
I have not rooted this phone. I have very few games, nothing large. I do not use Chrome, only Dolphin. I have moved as many apps (or part of them) as possible to the external SD card. Yet, space keeps disappearing.
Hi there,
I am on lineage-16.0-20190918-nightly-klte-signed + open_gapps-arm-9.0-mini-20190921, it is a fresh install.
I have downloaded WhatsApp App from Google Play and I was prompted to recover my backup from Google Drive, when I click OK I get:
Not enough space
Couldn't restore messages. Free up 465MB of space on your phone's internal storage to restore.
Obviously, I have more than 11GB available in the internal storage and an almost empty SanDisk SD Card 32GB.
Now, I cannot find anywhere a solution for this issue.
Also, I copied both my 'Phone' and 'Card' folders on my PC (in addition to the GoogleDrive backup) before upgrading to Lineage, I see in both folders a 'WhatsApp' folder with 'backups' + 'database' + 'media' subfolders.
If I cannot restore the backup from Google Drive, how could I restore the same from my PC?
I tried to move the Whatsapp folder to my SD Card, but it does not look like it is enough to see the content in WhatsApp.
Thoughts?
Alex
I think I know why it does not restore my backup, I have realized that the 'Internal Shared Storage' is not accessible, let me explain...
In my S5, if I go to Storage >> Device Storage - I see 5.24GB used of 16.00 GB - however, if I take a screenshot and try to save it, I get:
can't save screenshot due to limited storage space
This is probably the reason why I get issues to restore my whatsapp backup.
If I connect the phone to my PC, I can see the Internal Shared Storage folder icon, but there is no value, I should see 5.24GB used of 16.00 GB - in fact I cannot save anything on it from my PC either.
How do I resolve this issue?
Bug?
Thank you,
Alex
Anybody??
